Compatibilism, Indeterminism, and Chance [PDF]

Royal Institute of Philosophy Supplement, 2018
AbstractMany contemporary compatibilists about free will and determinism are agnostic about whether determinism is true, yet do not doubt that we have free will. They are thus committed to the thesis that free will is compatible with both determinism and indeterminism.

Polycarbonate Vitrimers and Dynamic Co‐Networks From Epoxide/Carbon Dioxide Copolymerization

Macromolecular Rapid Communications, EarlyView.
This work demonstrates how CO2‐derived poly(propylene carbonate) and poly(cyclohexene carbonate) backbones influence vitrimer thermo‐mechanical behavior. By tuning backbone composition, epoxide crosslinker chemistry and blend ratios, the crosslinked materials span a wide property window, from highly extensible to stiff, glassy networks, establishing an

Two-photon microscopy as a visual tool for polymer compatibilization monitoring: the PE-EVOH case

, 2023
: In this study, we present two-photon microscopy (2PM) as an original technique to investigate the compatibilization between PE-HEMA and EVOH at the sub-micrometer level, both on the surface and in the bulk.

Gamma Irradiation‐Based Free Radical Grafting of N‐Hydroxyethyl Acrylamide onto Poly[(R)‐3‐hydroxybutyrate]

Macromolecular Rapid Communications, EarlyView.
This work demonstrates successful gamma‐radiation‐induced grafting of N‐hydroxyethyl acrylamide onto poly[(R)‐3‐hydroxybutyrate], producing substantial changes in material properties. Grafting generated a biphasic, less crystalline structure with enhanced thermal stability, elongation (65%), toughness (378% increase), and exceptional water uptake (610 ...

Preparation and Compatibilization of PBS/Whey Protein Isolate Based Blends

Molecules, 2020
In this paper the production of biopolymeric blends of poly(butylene succinate) PBS and plasticized whey protein (PWP), obtained from a natural by-product from cheese manufacturing, has been investigated for the production of films and/or sheets.

Thermal and Morphological Analysis of Biocomposite From Multilayer Plastic Waste and Oil Palm Empty Fruit Bunch Fiber

Macromolecular Symposia, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Oil palm empty fruit bunches (OPEFB), a byproduct of the palm oil industry, have great potential in the circular economy, particularly for composite material production. Multilayer plastic waste from the bottled water industry presents significant environmental challenges.

Compatibilization of polypropylene/corn starch plasticized with diethanol amine

, 2013
In the presented paper, diethanol amine is employed to plasticize corn starch, and plasticized starch is incorporated into polypropylene to create semibio-based composites with the aid of compatibilizer, maleic anhydride-grafted PP (PPMA).

Lichen‐Derived Mineral Residue as a Renewable Particulate Filler in Polylactic Acid Biocomposites: Structure, Melt Rheology, Viscoelastic, and Flexural Behavior

Polymer Composites, EarlyView.
Lichen residue, a renewable mineral‐organic material, was melt compounded with polylactic acid and triacetin in a twin‐screw extruder. ABSTRACT A lichen‐derived natural material, known as “höllük” in southeastern Turkey, is introduced as a renewable filler for polylactic acid (PLA).

Compatibilization Effect of Polyfunctional Monomers on PP/TPU Blends

, 2011
This paper mainly researched how polyfunctional monomers affect the Compatibilization of PP/TPU blends. With triallylisocyanurate (TAIC) and trimethylolpropane triacrylate (TMPTA) which belong to polyfunctional monomers as compatibilizers, various PP/TPU

Toughening of PHBV/PBS and PHB/PBS Blends via In situ Compatibilization Using Dicumyl Peroxide as a Free-Radical Grafting Initiator [PDF]

, 2011
PHB/PBS and PHBV/PBS blends are prepared via in situ compatibilization using DCP as a free-radical grafting initiator. A considerable reduction in PBS particle size and a significant increase in the interfacial adhesion between the PHB(V) and PBS phases ...
