Polymer semiconductor blends with remarkably stable semiconducting performance under large and cyclic mechanical deformation [PDF]
In this paper, we report deformable blend thin films of polymer semiconductors with PDPPTT (p-type) and N2200 (n-type) as the examples by using the hydrogenated polyisoprene (H-PIP) as the newly developed elastomer.

Solid-state NMR of vulcanized natural rubber/butadiene rubber blends: Local organization and cross-linking heterogeneities [PDF]
Elastomer blends, among which natural rubber (NR) and butadiene rubber (BR), are involved in many components of the automotive/tire industry. A comprehensive understanding of their mechanical behavior requires, among other features, a detailed ...

Enhancement and Compatibilization of Waste-Sourced Biocomposites Through Elastomer Blending and Matrix Grafting Modification [PDF]
A novel elastomer-modified multicomponent, multiphase waste-sourced biocomposites, was prepared for converting waste biomass and plastic into value-added products. The effects of blending elastomer–olefin block copolymer (OBC) and maleic anhydride (MAH),

Soft, Formstable (Co)Polyester Blend Elastomers [PDF]
High crystallization rate and thermomechanical stability make polylactide stereocomplexes effective nanosized physical netpoints. Here, we address the need for soft, form-stable degradable elastomers for medical applications by designing such blends from (co)polyesters, whose mechanical properties are ruled by their nanodimensional architecture and ...

A scanning force microscopy study on the morphology of elastomer-coagent blends [PDF]
Atomic force scanning microscopy (AFM) was used to investigate the dispersion of low molecular weight compounds in ethylene-propylene copolymers (EPM). Where other microscopical techniques failed to provide morphological details of this type of blend, as

The effect of PP molecular weight on the complex viscosity of PP/EPDM blends
The effect of the molecular weight of isotactic polypropylene (PP) on the complex viscosity of unvulcanized and dynamically vulcanized blends of PP with ethylene-propylene-diene monomer (EPDM) was investigated.
