Polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP)/sodium montmorillonite (MMT) nanocomposites prepared via the solution intercalation method were investigated by UV/vis, SEM, X-ray diffraction, TEM, FT-IR and PLM (polarized light microscopy). PVP/MMT nanocomposites show exfoliation below 20wt% MMT and intercalation above this concentration. Nanocomposites retain good optical clarity and increased thermal resistance with...
Molecular simulations of poly(vinyl phenol)/poly(vinyl methyl ether) (PVPh/PVME) blends were performed and their degree of miscibility evaluated as a preliminary step before orientation simulations. A minimum of three periodic boundary condition amorphous models was constructed and analysed in terms of solubility parameter, X-ray pattern, pair correlation function, hydrogen bond fraction and backbone...
The thermal properties and hydrogen bonding behavior of B-a type polybenzoxazine (PBZZ)/PVP blends were investigated by DSC and FTIR. The DSC result shows a single T g over the entire compositions and a large positive deviation based on Kwei equation was observed in the T g versus composition diagram, implying that strong hydrogen bonding interaction exists between PBZZ and PVP segments...
A series of poly(vinylphenol-co-vinylpyrrolidone) (PVPh-co-PVP) copolymers were prepared by free radical copolymerization of acetoxystyrene with vinylpyrrolidone (PAS-co-PVP), followed by selective removal of the acetyl protective group. These copolymers were investigated by solid state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and thermal gravimetric analyzer (TGA) to compare with previous results on differential...
The linear dynamic viscoelastic properties and non-linear transient rheology of polycarbonate (PC)/clay nanocomposites were investigated at temperatures ranging from 240 to 280 °C. For the study, nanocomposites of PC and natural montmorillonite (Cloisite Na + ) or chemically modified clay (Cloisite 30B) were prepared by melt blending in a twin-screw extruder. Cloisite 30B is a natural montmorillonite...
The long-range order of some bioerodable polyesteramides based on a desaminotyrosyl [Thermochim Acta 396 (2003) 141; Polym Adv Technol 13 (2002) 926; J Am Chem Soc 119 (1997) 4553] diol monomer has been investigated. The order is mesogenic, best described as a ‘condis crystal’ or smectic-like. In all cases where long-range order is present, ordered H bonds between amide groups are observed. The order...
