Abstract During the synthesis and processing of polymers, a significant amount of polymer may be deposited on the heat transfer surfaces. This deposit is unwanted and is usually named fouling. This study deals with the fouling behavior of a vinyl acetate/vinyl ester copolymer during emulsion polymerization and compare…

Two azo dyes, acid red 1 (AR1) and acid red 18 (AR18), were used alone or in combination with sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) for the electropolymerization of a pyrrole monomer. Polypyrrole (PPy) showed higher redox capacity when SDS and AR18 were used simultaneously as dopant agents (PPy/AR18-SDS) than when the conducti…

A femtosecond (fs)-laser-processed surface that repels liquid polymer in water is reported in this paper. We define this phenomenon as the "superpolymphobicity". Three-level microstructures (including microgrooves, micromountains/microholes between the microgrooves, and nanoripples on the whole surface) were directly…
