Selective Functionalization of MWCNTs: Enhancing Wear Mechanisms and Friction‐Induced Graphitization in Epoxy Composites

open access: yesMacromolecular Materials and Engineering, EarlyView.
Incorporating 0.3 wt.% COOH‐functionalized MWCNTs, well dispersed via ultrasonication, into epoxy significantly enhances tribological and mechanical performance, reducing wear by 82% and COF by 32%. During sliding, friction breaks down MWCNTs into graphitic fragments, which are slowly released, forming a protective tribofilm.

Poly(Lactic Acid) Processability Treatment Through Electron Beam Irradiation: Optimization of Dose and Crosslinking Agent Amount

open access: yesMacromolecular Materials and Engineering, EarlyView.
This study optimizes the processability of poly(lactic acid) (PLA) by using electron beam irradiation combined with trimethylolpropane triacrylate (TMPTA) as a crosslinking agent. The optimized conditions modify PLA's rheological, thermal, and mechanical properties, improving its foamability in PLA/polyethylene blends.

Enhancing Polylactic Acid Films With Polyethylene Glycol‐Based Plasticizers: A Reactive Extrusion Approach

open access: yesMacromolecular Rapid Communications, EarlyView.
This study explores the enhancement of polylactic acid (PLA) films through reactive extrusion with polyethylene glycol (PEG)‐based plasticizers and dicumyl peroxide (DCP) as a cross‐linking agent. The process improves mechanical strength, ductility, and thermal stability while reducing plasticizer migration, broadening the potential applications of PLA
