Polymer-polymer miscibility
The theoretical and practical aspects of polymer-polymer miscibility in the solid amorphous state are reviewed. The polymers include homopolymers and both random and block copolymers. Although present theoretical treatments of polymer-polymer miscibility all contain the random mixing hypothesis and are thus not applicable to mixtures that involve specific interactions between the components, mo...
متن کاملPolymer conformations in polymer nanocomposites containing spherical nanoparticles.
We investigate the effect of various spherical nanoparticles on chain dimensions in polymer melts for high nanoparticle loading which is larger than the percolation threshold, using molecular dynamics simulations. We show that polymer chains are unperturbed by the presence of repulsive nanoparticles. In contrast polymer chains can be perturbed by the presence of attractive nanoparticles when th...
متن کاملEntanglements in polymer nanocomposites containing spherical nanoparticles.
We investigate the polymer packing around nanoparticles and polymer/nanoparticle topological constraints (entanglements) in nanocomposites containing spherical nanoparticles in comparison to pure polymer melts using molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. The polymer-nanoparticle attraction leads to good dispersion of nanoparticles. We observe an increase in the number of topological constraints (...
متن کاملPolymer-mediated growth of fluorescent semiconductor nanoparticles in preformed nanocomposites.
In this study, we investigated the size and photoluminescence (PL) evolution of CdTe nanoparticles (NPs) in different polymer media under thermal annealing. A quick growth and maintenance of strong PL were observed. By analyzing the transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images of NPs in polymer media, we discovered that the size evolution of NPs was the combination of Ostwald ripening and dyna...
متن کاملQuantifying Dispersion of Nanoparticles in Polymer Nanocomposites Through TEM Micrographs
The property of nanocomposites is crucially affected by nanoparticle dispersion. Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) is the “golden standard” in nanoparticle dispersion characterization. A TEM Micrograph is a 2-dimensional (2D) projection of a 3-dimentional (3D) ultra-thin specimen (50~100 nanometers thick) along the optic axis. Existing dispersion quantification methods assume complete spat...
