PLA/PA bio-blends: induced morphology by extrusion [PDF]
The effect of processing conditions on the final morphology of Poly(Lactic Acid) (PLA) with bio-based Polyamide 10.10 (PA) 70/30 blends is analyzed in this paper. Two types of PLA were used: Commercial (neat PLA) and a rheologically modified PLA (PLAREx),

Monte Carlo simulations of interfaces in polymer blends
We review recent simulation studies of interfaces between immiscible homopolymer phases. Special emphasis is given to the presentation of efficient simulation techniques and powerful methods of data analysis, such as the analysis of capillary wave ...

Modification of hydrophobic polypeptide-based film by blending with hydrophilic poly(acrylic acid)
In this study, a series of poly(γ-benzyl L-glutamate)/poly(acrylic acid) (PBLG/PAA) polymer blend films were prepared by casting the polymer blend solution in dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO).

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 ...

Long-lived photoexcited states in polydiacetylenes with different molecular and supramolecular organization [PDF]
With the aim of determining the importance of the molecular and supramolecular organization on the excited states of polydiacetylenes, we have studied the photoinduced absorption spectra of the red form of poly[1,6-bis(3,6-didodecyl-N-carbazolyl)-2,4 ...

Characterization and Water Uptake of Reinforced Polymer Blend Using Nanoclay and Rock Wool [PDF]
The current work focuses on assessing flexural properties, and water uptake of polymeric composites prepared using various reinforcements. These additives consist of kaolinite nano clays and rock wool (RW). In addition to a polymer blend that consists of

Properties of polypyrrole polyvinilsulfate films for dual actuator sensing systems [PDF]
One of the challenges of modern science is the development of actuators able to sense working conditions while actuation, mimicking the way in which biological organs work. Actuation of those organs includes nervous (electric) pulses dense reactive gels,

Local and chain dynamics in miscible polymer blends: A Monte Carlo simulation study
Local chain structure and local environment play an important role in the dynamics of polymer chains in miscible blends. In general, the friction coefficients that describe the segmental dynamics of the two components in a blend differ from each other ...

Sharp interface limit of an energy modelling nanoparticle-polymer blends [PDF]
We identify the $\Gamma$-limit of a nanoparticle-polymer model as the number of particles goes to infinity and as the size of the particles and the phase transition thickness of the polymer phases approach zero. The limiting energy consists of two terms:
