Counting for approximately 3.13 million tons of products, epoxy resins (EPs) have been
extensively employed as matrix resins of composites and applied in aerospace, aviation …

Polymer blends are mixtures of two or more polymers that are very often immiscible
components and they need to be compatibilized. The compatibilization must not only ensure …

It's a great challenge to achieve the synchronous enhancement of the fracture toughness
and strength via designing the microstructures of blend composites. Herein, multi-walled …

Based on Takayanagi's two-phase model and the brittle-ductile transition equations, we
established a relation between the composite modulus E c and related parameters including …

The influence of the dispersed phase on impact properties of impact polypropylene
copolymer (IPC) was systematically investigated by preparing a series of samples with …

A new pathway to super-toughen polyamide-612 (PA-612) by incorporating domains of soft
poly (octene-co-ethylene)-g-maleic anhydride (POE-g-MA) via melt blending leading to …

The tensile behavior of PBT with different crystallinity was investigated at various
temperatures. It turned out that the origin of stress whitening is different for PBT crystallized …

Long-chain branched polyethylene terephthalates (PETs) composed of ethylene glycol,
terephthalic acid, trimesic acid, and their biaxially stretching films with superior crystal sizes …

This chapter covers recent techniques applied in processing and characterization of natural
polymers. This includes techniques in processing natural polymers from their natural forms …

The methodology for improving the properties and foaming behavior of poly (ethylene
terephthalate)(PET)/poly (ethylene-octene)(POE) blends through compatibilization was …
