Thermal Stability and Kinetics of Sodium Alginate and Lignosulphonic Acid Blends
Biodegradable polymer blends are prepared by solution casting method by mixing Sodium alginate (SA) and Lignosulphonic acid (LS) biodegradable polymers. In order to investigate for controlled drug delivery the thermal stability of polymer blends are the ...

Confined Flow of Polymer Blends
The influence of confinement on the steady-state morphology of two different emulsions is investigated. The blends, made from polybutene (PB) in polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) and polybutadiene (PBD) in PDMS, are sheared between two parallel plates, mostly with a standard gap spacing of 40 microm, in the range of shear rates at which the transition from ...

Advanced materials based on polymer blends/polymer blend nanocomposites
Processability, morphology, mechanical properties and rheological behavior of poly(vinylchloride) (PVC)/poly(ethylmethacrylate) (PEMA) blends and PVC/PEMA/montmorillonite (MMT) composites, prepared by melt processing in a brabender mixer, were studied.

On the Mechanism of Pinning in Phase-Separating Polymer Blends
We re-explore the kinetics of spinodal decomposition in off-critical polymer blends through numerical simulations of the Cahn-Hilliard equation with the Flory-Huggins-De Gennes free energy functional. Even in the absence of thermal noise, the solution of

Photo-aging changes in mechanical properties of high impact polystyrene, polystyrene-based binary and compatibilized ternary blends [PDF]
In this work, the photo-aging behavior of high impact polystyrene (HIPS), polystyrene/ethylene propylene diene monomer (PS/EPDM) binary blends, and compatibilized polystyrene/ethylene propylene diene monomer/ polyamide 6 (PS/EPDM/PA6) ternary blends was ...

Coarsening and Pinning in the Self-consistent Solution of Polymer Blends Phase-Separation Kinetics
We study analytically a continuum model for phase-separation in binary polymer blends based on the Flory-Huggins-De Gennes free energy, by means of the self-consistent large-$n$ limit approach.
