Polymer blending is an effective method that can be used to fabricate new versatile
materials with enhanced properties. The blending of two polymers can result in either a …

Thermal and thermo-oxidative degradation of polyamide 11 (PA11) in the melt state (T=
215° C) are studied by resorting to time-resolved mechanical spectroscopy. Such an …

Poly (3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate)(PHBV) is a promising bio-based and
biodegradable thermoplastic with restricted industrial applications due to its brittleness and …

Thermally‐triggered shape memory polymers (SMPs) are smart materials, which are
capable of changing their shapes when they are exposed a heat stimulant. Blending semi …

Viscoelastic phase separation (VPS) can produce a network structure of the minor phase,
which needs to be stabilized for designing a heterogeneous structure with desired …

The effects of 1-vinyl-3-butyl imidazole chloride (VBIM) on the structure and properties of
Polyamide 6 (PA6) were investigated systematically. It was found that PA6/VBIM blends …

The addition of nanoparticles in dynamically asymmetric LCST blends is used to induce
preferred phase-separating morphology by tuning the dynamic asymmetry, and to control …

The design and development of controlled release systems of molecules of interest
(nutrients, flavors, and drugs) have attracted significant attention over several years. Herein …

We examined a phase separation process of a dynamically asymmetric blend of
unentangled polyisoprene (PI) and poly (4-ethylstyrene)(PC2St) exhibiting the upper critical …

In this study, the miscibility of ethylene vinyl acetate/olefin block copolymer (EVA/OBC)
blends was investigated through the determination of melt-state viscoelastic properties as …
