Physico‐Chemical Understanding of Plasticizers Interaction with P(VDF‐TrFE‐CFE) Electroactive Polymer

Macromolecular Materials and Engineering, EarlyView.
This study explores the effects of DNOP plasticizer on P(VDF‐TrFE‐CFE) terpolymers, revealing a strong synergy between chemical structure and physical properties. High TrFE bringing natural flexibility and CFE enhancing the plasticizer retention through theorized halogen bonds, ultra‐soft, crack‐free films of high permittivity and softness are ...

The effect of temperature changes on to quasi-static tensile and flexural performance of glass fibre reinforced PA66 composites [PDF]

, 2013
A significant method of reducing CO2 emissions in road vehicles is to reduce the vehicle mass. One means in which this can be achieved is to adopt lightweight materials such as thermoplastic composites.

Latex Serum‐Derived Supramolecular Networks Enable Toughening of Natural Rubber

Macromolecular Rapid Communications, EarlyView.
Latex‐serum addition enhances strain‐induced crystallization (SIC) toughening in natural rubber, increasing tearing strength and extending the SIC activation window. Supramolecular networks form via bifurcated hydrogen bonding between polyol components (e.g., quebrachitol) and end‐functionalized polyisoprene chains, serving as effective crystallization

Piezoresistive Natural Rubber Composites: A Comparison Between Low‐Temperature Glutaraldehyde Curing Agents and Conventional Sulfur Curing Systems

Polymer Composites, EarlyView.
The secondary electrical signal peak during cyclic experiment observed in S‐cured NR sensors was eliminated with GA curing due to the homogeneous distribution of crosslink points in the GA‐cured NR network. ABSTRACT This study examines the piezoresistive behavior of natural rubber (NR) composites cured with sulfur (S) and glutaraldehyde (GA) and ...
