Polylactic acid (PLA) is one of the most popular thermoplastics for fused deposition modeling (FDM). Attributed to its semi-crystalline nature, the relation between printing parameters and properties are more complicated than amorphous thermoplastics like acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS). This study was designed to investigate two printing parameters, layer height (0.2 and 0.4 mm) and plate temperature...
Fused layer modeling (FLM) or fused deposition modeling (FDM) can be used to produce polymer components with a cellular structure. The existence of cells (voids) in FLM parts degrades mechanical properties. This study was done to understand the influence of two printing parameters, layer height (0.1 mm and 0.3 mm) and extrusion temperature (200 °C and 250 °C), on the Izod impact strength of polypropylene...
Several polypropylene-g-polystyrene (PP-g-PS) and polypropylene-g-poly(n-butyl acrylate) (PP-g-PnBA) graft copolymers with well-defined molecular structures, basing on the same PP-Br precursor, were synthesized via a combination of metallocene-catalyzed polymerization and ATRP. The structure–property relationships of the resultant graft copolymers were systematically investigated. The crystallization...
Three different heteroaromatic ring derivatives (coagents) were used to adjust the melt radical reaction of polypropylene (PP). From the results of high temperature 1 H NMR and high-temperature size-exclusion chromatography (HT-SEC), all the coagents could quickly convert the tertiary PP macroradicals into resonance stabilized macroradicals and effectively restrain the β-scission of PP macroradicals...
A chiral polymer P1 was synthesized by the polymerization of 2,5-dibutoxy-1,4-di(benzaldehyde)-1,4-diethynylbenzene (M-1) with (R,R)-1,2-diaminocyclohexane (M-2) via Schiff's base formation, and the chiral polymer P2 could be obtained by the reduction reaction of P1 with NaBH 4 . P2 can serve as a “turn-off” fluorescent sensor toward Cu 2+ and Ni 2+ . The in situ generated...
A series of polypropylene-g-poly(ethylene-co-1-butene) graft copolymers (PP-g-EBR) with well-defined long chain branched (LCB) molecular structures, basing on the same PP–BT precursor (PP–BT2), were used to study effects of EBR LCBs on the crystallization and foaming behaviors of PP-g-EBRs. The kinetics results of isothermal and nonisothermal crystallization verify the opposite effects of LCB structure...
A grafting monomer (p-(3-butenyl)styrene, BS)) containing two carbon–carbon double-bonds with different reactivity was used in melt radical reaction to prepare long chain branched polypropylene (LCB-PP). High-temperature size-exclusion (HT-SEC) coupled with triple detectors, rheometer and NMR were used to characterize the microstructure of the resultant LCB-PP. BS showed double functions in mediating...
Molybdenum-phenolic resin (Mo-PR) was grafted onto the surface of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) to obtain modified MWCNTs (CNT-PR). Compared to epoxy resin, epoxy resin/CNT-PR nanocomposites showed the improvements in flame retardancy and mechanical properties. Structural characterization showed that the grafted Mo-PR improved the dispersion of MWCNTs in epoxy resin and enhanced the interfacial...
