Multiblock copolymers represent a fascinating class of materials that sits at the very heart of
industrial applications and fundamental polymer science. They are most often made of a …

The three-dimensional molded interconnected device (3D-MID) has received considerable
attention because of the growing demand for greater functionality and miniaturization of …

Synthetically trapping kinetically varied (super) structures of molecular assemblies and
amplifying them to the macroscale is a promising, yet challenging, approach for the …

Corn starch was plasticized by glycerol suspension in a twin-screw extruder, in which the
glycerol suspension was the pre-dispersion mixture of glycerol with nano-SiO2. Polylactide …

A simple isothermal melt crystallization-foaming method was proposed to regulate the
crystallinity (X c) of PEBA to prepare poly (ether-block-amide)(PEBA) foams with uniform or …

We use coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulations to study the impact of the chain
topology on the structure and thermal and mechanical properties of crystallizable multiblock …

The mechanical properties of multiblock copolymer thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) are
governed by the interplay of different reversible dynamics [eg, hard block (HB) association …

The formation, growth, and melting of the strain-induced crystallization (SIC) structures of
poly (tetramethylene oxide)(PTMO) were studied during the step-cycle deformation of poly …

Quantifying the impact of associative group aggregation on the mechanical properties of
dense supramolecular networks remains a challenging problem. To address this question …

Thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) combine high elasticity with melt processability due to their
structural features being based on physical associations rather than chemical crosslinking …
