The polymerization of cyclic butylene terephthalate oligomers (CBT) were studied in presence (in 5 wt.%) and absence of an organoclay (Cloisite 30B) by modulated DSC (MDSC). The organoclay containing samples were produced by dry and melt blending, respectively. The first heating, causing the polymerization of the CBT…
In this paper, effects of dynamical cure and compatibilization on the morphology and properties of the PP/epoxy blends were studied. The addition of maleic anhydride-grafted polypropylene (MAH-g-PP) and dynamical cure of epoxy by dicyanamide give rise to decrease the average diameter of epoxy particles in the PP/epoxy…

In this work we report on the microstructural and the mechanical characteristics of high density polyethylene (HDPE)-clay nanocomposites, with particular attention to the creep behaviour. The samples were prepared through melt compounding, using two high-density polyethylenes with different melt flow rate (MFR), two d…
Predicting which crystalline modifications can be present in a chemical system requires the global exploration of its energy landscape. Due to the large computational effort involved, in the past this search for sufficiently stable minima has been performed employing a variety of empirical potentials and cost function…
The synthesis of cyclic polyesters of poly(oxypropylene oxymaloyl) from a ring-chain reaction was carried out at 40°C with 'Maghnite' an acid exchanged montmorillonite as acid solid ecocatalyst (Mag–H+). 'Maghnite' is already used as catalyst for polymerization of many vinylic and heterocyclic monomers [1]. The effect…
By mixing macromolecular blowing agent grafted nano-SiO2 with polypropylene (PP) melt, the nanoparticle agglomerates can be pulled apart due to the in-situ bubble-stretching resulting from gasification of the side foaming groups on the grafted polymer. The present work evaluated the interfacial effect in the PP based…
Dicarboxylated poly(L-lactic acid) (PLLA) was synthesized by reacting succinic anhydride with L-lactic acid prepolymer prepared by melt polycondensation. PLLA and epoxy resin based on diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A (DGEBA) copolymers were prepared by chain extension of dicarboxylated PLLA with DGEBA. Infrared spectra…
Transparent Nonlinear Optical (NLO) inorganic/organic (polyimide/silica) hybrid composites with covalent links between the inorganic and the organic networks were prepared by the sol-gel method. The silica content in the hybrid films was varied from 0 to 22.5/wt%. The prepared PI hybrids were characterized by IR, UV-V…
The influence of a typical prooxidative additive, cobalt stearate, on the thermal stability, degradation kinetics and lifetime of low-density polyethylene (LDPE) was investigated using non-isothermal thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) in both nitrogen and air atmosphere. The derivative thermogravimetric (DTG) curves ind…
Nanocomposite materials consisting of polymeric matrix materials and natural or synthetic layered minerals like clay are currently an expanding field of study because these new materials often exhibit a wide range of improved properties over their unmodified starting polymers. Epoxy/organoclay nanocomposites have been…
The photo-oxidation of ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM)/ layered double hydroxide (LDH) composites as well as EPDM/LDH with stabilizers is studied under accelerated UV irradiation ( 290 nm) at 60C for different time intervals. The development of functional groups during oxidation was monitored by FT-IR spectros…
The epoxy/glass fiber/organo-montmorillonite (OMMT) nanocomposites were prepared by hand lay up method. In the previous work, the flexural and morphological properties of the epoxy/glass fiber/OMMT were studied. In this work, the epoxy nanocomposites were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), differential scanning…
Poly (St-MAn-APTES)/silica hybrid materials were successfully prepared from styrene (St), maleic anhydride (MAn) and tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) in the presence of a coupling agent 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES), by freeradical solution polymerization and in situ sol-gel process. The TEOS content varied from 0 to 2…
Self-reinforced polypropylene composites (SRPPC) were hot pressed from textile layers (carded mat, knitted fabrics) at three different temperatures (160, 165 and 170C) by setting a constant pressure (6 MPa) and constant holding time (2 min). Both textiles consist of two kinds of isotactic polypropylene (iPP) fibers di…
A novel biopolymer-based composite hydrogel was synthesized through chemical crosslinking by graft copolymerization of partially neutralized acrylic acid onto the carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC). The Taguchi method, a robust experimental design, was employed for the optimization of the synthesis based on the swelling ca…
Semi-IPNs with varying contents of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA), poly acrylamide (PAM) and crosslinker N,N'methylene bis acrylamide (MBA) were prepared by redox polymerization method. The structural and morphological properties were studied by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, environmental scanning electro…
Industrial low-density polyethylene (LDPE) was aged in stagnant distilled water during one year. Two types of this material were studied. The first one was without additives and the second type was doped with 4% of hindered-amine light stabilizers (HALS). Using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), the evidence that…
Electrospun nanocomposite scaffolds were fabricated by encapsulating multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNT) in poly (lactic acid) (PLA) nanofibers. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) confirmed the fabrication of nanofibers, and transmission electron microscopy identified the alignment and dispersion of MWNT along the ax…
