When cooled or pressurized, polymer melts exhibit a tremendous reduction in molecular
mobility. If the process is performed at a constant rate, the structural relaxation time of the …

Co-amorphous drug delivery systems have recently gained considerable interest in the
pharmaceutical field because of their potential to improve oral bioavailability of poorly water …

The need for renewable alternatives to conventional petroleum based polymers has been
the motivation for work on biobased composites, blends and materials whose foundations …

Amorphous solid dispersions are an increasingly important formulation approach to improve
the dissolution rate and apparent solubility of poorly water soluble compounds. Due to their …

The glass transition temperature is a critical processing parameter that governs the kinetics
of molecular organization of polymer semiconductors during solidification. Yet, little attention …

The hydrogen bond in polymer blends is an interesting and important subject of research as
its presence usually enhances the miscibility of the blend. Here, the factors affecting the …

New lignin-based thermoset polyurethane (PU) coatings with high lignin content are
presented in this work. These materials were obtained by extracting a sol fraction from a raw …

The combination of high-density polyethylene (HDPE), low-density polyethylene (LDPE) and
polypropylene (PP) is frequently found in polymer waste streams. Because of their similar …

The intermolecular interactions of lignin with a hydrophilic polymer, poly (vinyl
alcohol)(PVA), were studied using thermal analyses and FT-IR spectroscopy of a series of …

The development of lignin-based thermoplastics relies on altering the viscoelastic properties
of lignin through chemical modification or polymer blending. In polymer blends, miscibility is …
