With the rapid development of nanotechnologies and nanomaterials since 1990s, the
studies on polymer-based nanocomposites have been extensively focused on their …

In recent years great progress has been made in developing both vinyl polymerization 1 and
the ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of strained cyclic compounds. 2 This has resulted in …

More than twenty years have passed since we invented PCN, in which only a few wt.‐% of
silicate is randomly and homogeneously dispersed in the polymer matrix. When molded …

The improvement of strength and durability in polymers has implications relevant to
industrial, medical, and household applications. Enhanced by the improved knowledge of …

In this paper, cetyl pyridium chloride (CPC) was employed to modify the montmorillonite.
TGA analysis shows that the organic modified clay has higher thermal stability than …

Cyclic butylene terephthalate (CBT) has been polymerized in situ at T= 190° C in the
presence and absence of woven glass fabric (WGF). The thermal properties of the in situ …

A new nanocomposite—disorderly exfoliated layered double hydroxides/poly (methyl
methacrylate)(LDHs/PMMA)—was prepared by a two-stage process with an in situ bulk …

The thermal and rheological behaviors of cyclic butylene terephthalate (CBT) were studied
with differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and plate–plate rheometry, respectively. DSC …

Cyclic butylene terephthalate (CBT®) oligomers are a relatively new class of material and
are capable of polymerizing in an entropically driven ring-opening polymerization into high …

Intercalated poly (styrene-co-methyl methacrylate)/layered double hydroxide
nanocomposites (PS–PMMA/LDH–B) have been synthesized by the in situ bulk multistep …
