Polymer ligand–induced autonomous sorting and reversible phase separation in binary particle blends
The tethering of ligands to nanoparticles has emerged as an important strategy to control interactions and organization in particle assembly structures. We demonstrate that ligand interactions in mixtures of polymer-tethered nanoparticles (which are modified with distinct types of polymer chains) can impart upper or lower critical solution temperature (UCST/LCST)-type phase behavior on binary p...
متن کاملPhase and microphase separation in polymer blends
When two different polymers are mixed, they usually demix because of the slight repulsive interaction that exists between their monomers. This is general and may be related to phase separation in two component mixtures. When the same polymer blend is cross-linked in the one phase region, elastic forces develop and do not let this to occur. There results a microphase separation, with coexistence...
متن کاملNumerical Studies of Phase Separation in Models of Binary Alloys and Polymer Blends
We review some recent results concerning numerical studies of the CahnHilliard equation in three dimensions to describe the phase separation process in a mixture after a quench within the coexistence curve. We focus on the late time behavior for two experimentally relevant systems: binary alloys and binary polymer blends. We find that, in both systems, dynamical scaling with a time dependent ch...
متن کاملGlass Transition Temperatures In Binary Polymer Blends
Knowledge of the glass transition temperatures (Tgs) as function of composition reflects miscibility (or lack of it) and is decisive for virtually all properties of polymer-based materials. In this article, we analyze single blend-average and effective Tgs of miscible polymer blends in full concentration ranges. Shortcomings of the extant equations are discussed to support the need for an alter...
متن کاملParticle-induced bridging in immiscible polymer blends
Pickering emulsions are emulsions whose drops are stabilized against coalescence by particles adsorbed at their interface. Recent research on oil/water/particle systems shows that particles can sometimes adsorb at two oil/ water interfaces. Such “bridging particles” can glue together drops of oil in water or vice versa. We hypothesize that the same effect should apply in immiscible polymer blen...
