In this feature article, we critically review the physical properties of porous hydrogels and
their production methods. Our main focus is nondense hydrogels that have physical pores …

In this study, a highly toughened PLA was prepared through physical melt-blending with
EVA at the presence of hydrophilic nanosilica and SEBS-g-MA block copolymer …

In this paper, the blends and nanocomposites containing poly (lactic acid)(PLA), poly
(ethylene oxide)(PEO) and carbon nanotubes (CNT) are prepared and the viscosity of …

The presence of chemically different and compositionally varying plastics in mixed
postconsumer recovered plastic (PCR) presents daunting barriers to recycling and upcycling …

The presented research reports a successful preparation of a super toughened poly (lactic
acid)/poly (ethylene vinyl acetate)(PLA/EVA) blend using simultaneous dicumyl peroxide …

Phase separation behavior of binary polyolefin blends, ultra-high molecular weight
polyethylene (UHMWPE) and liquid paraffin (LP), was investigated through combination of …

The mechanism behind the resilience of polymeric materials, typically attributed to the well‐
established entropy elasticity, often ignores the contribution of enthalpy variation (ΔH) …

The objective of the present work was to study the dependence of the foamability and the
foaming window of a polystyrene/poly (methyl methacrylate)(PS60/PMMA40) blend on the …

The morphology change and the corresponding molecular mechanism of polystyrene
(PS)/poly (vinyl methyl ether)(PVME) blends induced by hydrophilic or hydrophobic …

Polylactic acid (PLA) has gained significant attention as a commercially available
biodegradable and biocompatible polymer. However, the brittleness of PLA greatly limits its …
