For the blends of chlorinated polyethylene and copolymer of ethylene with vinyl acetate, the effect of the introducing filler (fumed silica) on the phase behavior of the blends was investigated. It was found that introducing filler in polymer blends depending on its amount lead either to the increase or to the decrease in the temperature of phase separation. At the filler concentration where both...
The behaviour of antiplasticized epoxy–amine networks was investigated by variable-temperature determinations of 1H NMR free induction decays. Up to 50°C, all antiplasticized resins exhibited a solid-like behaviour. At higher temperatures, resins containing the less polar additives were shown to be phase-separated, in contrast to systems containing polar additives. The temperature dependence of the...
Partitioning of proteins in aqueous two-phase systems (ATPS) has emerged as one of the important downstream processing techniques in bioprocess technology. The phase separation behavior of polyelectrolyte–polyethyleneglycol (PEG) based ATPS have been studied to elucidate the mechanism controlling phase behavior. The effect of various inorganic salt additives revealed the importance of water structure...
The morphology of LC polymer networks prepared by photopolymerization of (LC monomer/LC) blends containing photoinitiator and crosslinker was investigated. For the blends of 4-acryloyloxyhexyloxy-4'-cyanobiphenyl and 4-hexyloxy-4'-cyanobiphenyl, which had the same mesogen, orientation order of LC textures was memorized by photopolymerization, while any structure of LC polymer networks was not observed...
The use of reactive solvents which reversibly (de)polymerise to facilitate the processing of poly(2,6-dimethyl-1,4-phenylene ether) (PPE) was explored. PPE can be dissolved at elevated temperatures in very low molecular weight thermoplastic poly(urethane) (TPU) fragments obtained via depolymerisation and these solutions can then be processed at the relatively low temperature of 250 o C. After...
The curing of a homogeneous mixture of a nematic liquid crystal and an acrylate UV curable prepolymer was studied by small angle light scattering, varying temperature and UV intensity. For all the conditions except at elevated temperature, the phase separation occurs with a spinodal decomposition which phases can be more or less easily recognised. Whatever the temperature below the clearing point...
A series of latex interpenetrating polymer networks (LIPNs) were prepared via two-stage soap-free emulsion polymerization of styrene on cross-linked poly(2-acetoxyethyl methacrylate) (PAEMA) seed latexes, using potassium persulfate as initiator. It was found that a compositional gradient was present when PAEMA seeds cross-linked either lightly or highly were used. The polystyrene (PS) phase is localized...
