The origin of mechanical enhancement in polymer nanoparticle composites with ultra-high nanoparticle loading [PDF]
, 2019 Polymer nanoparticle composites (PNC) with ultra high loading of nanoparticles (> 50%) have been shown to exhibit markedly improved strength, stiffness, and toughness simultaneously compared to the neat systems of their components. Recent experimental studies on the effect of polymer fill fraction in these highly loaded PNCs reveal that even at low ...

Effect of metal clusters on the swelling of gold-fluorocarbon-polymer composite films [PDF]
Applied Physics Letters 80, 1565, 2002, 2012 We have investigated the phenomenon of swelling due to acetone diffusion in fluorocarbon polymer films doped with different gold concentrations below the percolation threshold. The presence of the gold clusters in the polymer is shown to improve the mixing between the fluorocarbon polymer and the acetone, which is not a good solvent for this kind of ...

Response of Single Polymers to Localized Step Strains [PDF]
Phys. Rev. E 79, 011803 (2009), 2008 In this paper, the response of single three-dimensional phantom and self-avoiding polymers to localized step strains are studied for two cases in the absence of hydrodynamic interactions: (i) polymers tethered at one end with the strain created at the point of tether, and (ii) free polymers with the strain created in the middle of the polymer.

Tough and Resilient Hydrogels Enabled by a Multifunctional Initiating and Cross-Linking Agent
Gels, 2021 Many high-strength hydrogels have been developed in recent years; however, few of them are both tough and resilient, and their intrinsic paradoxical nature makes designing a gel with both high toughness and high resilience a great challenge.

Analysis of automotive liftgate seals using finite element analysis
Polímeros, 2010 Seals have wide application in automotive products. They are responsible for sealing the car in several parts such as the doors, the air intake cowl seal, and air intake lights seal. Strain and stress studies are very important in order to understand the

PFO-BPy Solubilizers for SWNTs: Modelling of Polymers from Oligomers [PDF]
Phys. Status Solidi B 251, 2407 (2014), 2014 Due to their exeptional physical properties, single walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) embedded in organic polymers (polymer-SWNT hybrid systems) are promising materials for organic photovoltaic (OPV) devices. Already at the SWNT sorting and debundling step, polymers such as the copolymer of 9,9-dioctylfluorenyl-2,7-diyl and bipyridine (PFO-BPy) are used ...

Universality of Osmotic Equation of State in Star Polymer Solutions [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 We experimentally measure the osmotic pressures of linear polymers and three-, four-, and eight-arm star polymers in a good solvent via membrane osmometry. These results reveal that the osmotic equations of state in the star polymer solutions are universally described by the same scaling function that describes linear polymer solutions.

Rebound suppression of a droplet impact on a supersolvophobic surface by a small amount of polymer additives [PDF]
, 2020 A small amount of polymer dissolved in a droplet suppresses droplet rebound when it impinges on a supersolvophobic surface. This work investigates impacting dynamics of a droplet of dilute polymer solution depending on the molecular weight and the concentration of the polymer by using multi-body dissipative particle dynamics simulations.
