Wettability and thermal analysis of hydrophobic poly(methyl methacrylate)/silica nanocomposites
Hydrophobic poly(methyl methacrylate)/silica layers on the glass support activated with plasma were obtained. Wettability was investigated from the contact angle measurements and surface free energy estimation by means of using contact angle hysteresis ...

A Microrheological Study of Poly(Methyl Methacrylate) Elastomer/Poly(Ethylene Terephthalate) (PMMAelast/PET) Blends [PDF]
This study involved an evaluation of the influence of phase inversion in poly(methyl methacrylate) elastomer/poly(ethylene terephthalate) binary blends (PMMAelast/PET) and the effect of the addition of poly(methyl methacrylate-glycidyl methacrylate-ethyl

Understanding the role of MAM molecular weight in the production of PMMA/MAM nanocellular polymers [PDF]
Nanostructured polymer blends with CO2-philic domains can be used to produce nanocellular materials with controlled nucleation. It is well known that this nanostructuration can be induced by the addition of a block copolymer poly(methyl methacrylate ...

Renewable Fabric Surface-Initiated ATRP Polymerizations: Towards Mixed Polymer Brushes
A totally new approach in the synthesis of mixed polymer brushes tethered on polyamide (PA) surfaces is presented herein. As a proof of concept, two types of homopolymers were synthesized in sequential surface-initiated atom transfer radical ...

Electrostatic charging of non-polar colloids by reverse micelles
Colloids dispersed in a non-polar solvent become charged when reverse micelles are added. We study the charge of individual sterically-stabilized poly(methyl methacrylate) spheres dispersed in micellar solutions of the surfactants sodium bis(2-ethyl 1 ...
