Nucleation in binary polymer blends: A self-consistent field study [PDF]
We study the structure and thermodynamics of the critical nuclei in metastable binary polymer blends using the self-consistent field method. At the mean-field level, our results are valid throughout the entire metastable region and provide a smooth ...

Interfacial Contributions in Nanodiamond-Reinforced Polymeric Fibers
We study the interfacial energy parameters that explain the reinforcement of polymers with nanodiamond (ND) and the development of mechanical strength of electrospun ND-reinforced composites. Thermodynamic parameters such as the wettability ratio, work of spreading and dispersion/aggregation transition are used to derive a criterion to predict the ...
