Increasing temperature has been widely considered as a primary and effective way to improve the segmental mobility of polymer chains and subsequently cause polymer chains to flow. Here, by confining the morphology of polymers into nanospheres and combining this process with external stress, we present an important new approach to achieve the cold flow of glassy polymers at room temperature, under...
Crystalline polymers can exhibit anomalous crystallization behaviors as restricted into nanodomains. Herein, syndiotactic polypropylene (sPP) was infiltrated into nanoporous alumina templates with different pore diameters, and their nonisothermal and isothermal crystallization kinetics were investigated. As located inside nanopores, the crystallization of sPP becomes sluggish. The crystallization...
A methodology for blending foam of poly (lactic acid) (PLA)/poly (ethylene terephthalate glycol-modified) (PETG) was proposed. PLA/PETG blends were prepared through a melt blending method, using multiple functionality epoxide as reactive compatibilizer. The effects of blending ratio and compatibilizer content on the dispersion morphology, molecular structure, mechanical properties, and rheological...
A facile approach to introduce carboxyl groups onto the surface of CdSe quantum dots (QD) was achieved via oleic acid ligands self-assembly, and then CdSe quantum dots/epoxy fluorescence nanocomposites were successfully fabricated. The surface constitution of QD, the better dispersibility of QD in epoxy matrix, and the reactivity with epoxy of carboxyl groups functionalized QD were characterized by...
Macroporous epoxy monolith was prepared via chemically induced phase separation using diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A (DGEBA) as a monomer, 4,4′-diaminodiphenylmethane (DDM) as a curing agent, and epoxy soybean oil (ESO) as a solvent. The morphology of the cured systems after removal of ESO was examined using scanning electron microscopy, and the composition of epoxy precursors/solvent for phase inversion...
A series of novel novolac epoxy resins containing naphthalene moiety with different molecular weights were synthesized via condensation of bisphenol A and 1-naphthaldehyde, followed by epoxidation with epichlorohydrin. The chemical structure of the naphthalene epoxy thus obtained was characterized using FTIR, 1 H NMR spectra and GPC analyses. The naphthalene epoxy was cured with 4,4′-diaminodiphenyl...
A mixture of acrylonitrile and butyl acrylate was polymerized starting from a concentrated emulsion in water. The polymerization was initiated at room temperature by a redox system, consisting of reductants dissolved in the water phase and an oxidant dissolved in the dispersed phase. The initial polymerization was carried out adiabatically with self-heating until a temperature of about 70 o ...
A copolymer of acrylonitrile and vinyl acetate was prepared via the room temperature-initiated, self-heating polymerization of a concentrated emulsion. A mixture of the monomers containing an oxidant was first dispersed in an aqueous solution of surfactants to generate a concentrated emulsion with a volume fraction of 0.8 of the dispersed phase. An aqueous solution of reductants was subsequently introduced...
