Characterization and Modification of Red Mud and Ferrosilicomanganese Fines and Their Application in the Synthesis of Hybrid Hydrogels
(MDPI, 2022-10-14)
In this work, hybrid hydrogels were synthesized with the inclusion of two types of clay materials that are considered industrial waste: red mud (RM) and ferrosilicomanganese fines (FeSiMn). These solid waste materials were ...
Structure and Properties of Reactively Extruded Opaque Post-Consumer Recycled PET
(MDPI, 2021-10-14)
The recyclability of opaque PET, which contains TiO2 nanoparticles, has not been as well-studied as that of transparent PET. The objective of this work is to recycle post-consumer opaque PET through reactive extrusion with ...
Synthesis, Structure, Crystallization and Mechanical Properties of Isodimorphic PBS-ran-PCL Copolyesters
(MDPI, 2021-07-09)
Isodimorphic behavior is determined by partial inclusion of comonomer segments within the crystalline structure and arises from the comparatively similar repeating chain units of the parental homopolymers. Isodimorphic ...
Temperature modulated DSC for composition analysis of recycled polyolefin blends
(Elsevier, 2022-09)
Post-consumer plastic waste contains blends of numerous types of polyethylene (PE) and isotactic polypropylene (i-PP), whose recycling is challenging due to the complexity of this waste stream. A comprehensive knowledge ...
Supernucleation Dominates Lignin/Poly(ethylene oxide) Crystallization Kinetics
(American Chemical Society, 2022)
The effect of lignin nanoparticles (LNPs) on the crystallization kinetics of poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) is examined. Lignin from spruce and ionic isolation was used to prepare LNPs with a number-averaged diameter of 85 nm ...
Effect of Chain Stereoconfiguration on Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) Crystallization Kinetics
(American Chemical Society, 2022-08)
Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) is naturally accumulated by bacteria but can also be synthesized chemically. Its processability is limited, as it tends to degrade at temperatures above its melting temperature; hence, ...
Surface Nucleation of Dispersed Droplets in Double Semicrystalline Immiscible Blends with Different Matrices
(Wiley, 2022-11)
When a minor semicrystalline phase is dispersed in an immiscible blend with another polymer in the form of isolated droplets, its crystallization behavior is dominated by nucleation. In particular, nucleation can occur in ...
Natural Deep Eutectic Solvents Based on Choline Chloride and Phenolic Compounds as Efficient Bioadhesives and Corrosion Protectors
(American Chemical Society, 2022)
[EN] Natural deep eutectics solvents (NADES), owing to their high solvation capacity and nontoxicity, are actively being sought for many technological applications. Herein, we report a series of novel NADES based on choline ...
(PVDF)2(PEO)2 miktoarm star copolymers: Synthesis and isothermal crystallization leading to exclusive β-phase formation
(Elsevier, 2022-10)
In this work, we study how chain topology can induce different polymorphic behaviors in poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF)-based materials. A linear PVDF precursor with two azido groups at the junction point, (PVDFx-N3)2 and ...
Enhanced and Reusable Poly(hydroxy urethane)-Based Low Temperature Hot-Melt Adhesives
(American Chemical Society, 2022)
[EN] Poly(hydroxy urethane)s (PHUs) based on 5-membered cyclic carbonates have emerged as sustainable alternatives to conventional isocyanate-based polyurethanes. However, while from the point of view of sustainability ...
