Shear-induced phase transitions in ternary polymer blends.

چکیده
We present a study of flow-induced phase transitions in microemulsion phases of ternary polymer blends. The results match qualitatively with the recent experimental observations on such systems but differ from the behavior expected and observed in the analogous system of surfactants. We rationalize this contrast from a molecular viewpoint suggesting that the interplay between polymer chain conformations and their flow deformations can lead to novel flow effects upon the phase, structural, and rheological behavior of multicomponent polymer systems.

Effective Parameters on the Phase Morphology and Mechanical Properties of PP/PET/SEBS Ternary Polymer Blends
In this work, ternary polymer blends based on polypropylene (PP)/ polyethylene terephthalate (PET) /poly(styrene-b (ethylene-co-butylene)-b-styrene) (SEBS) triblock copolymer and a reactive maleic anhydride grafted SEBS (SEBS-g-MAH) at various compositions were prepared by co-rotating twin screw extruder. The effects of PET, SEBS and SEBS-g-MAH compatibilizer on morphology of the blends were ex...

In this study, we successfully report an intimate ternary blend system of polycarbonate (PC)/poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA)/poly(vinyl acetate) (PVAc) obtained by the simultaneous coalescence of the three guest polymers from their common -cyclodextrin ( -CD) inclusion compound (IC). The thermal transitions and the homogeneity of the coalesced ternary blend were studied by differential scannin...
متن کاملRheology and morphology of model immiscible polymer blends with monodisperse spherical particles at the interface
We show that the addition of solid particles to droplet–matrix blends of immiscible polymers induces massive changes in the rheology and the flow-induced structure even at loadings as low as 0.1 vol. %. Experiments were conducted using blends of polyethylene oxide (PEO, dispersed phase), polyisobutylene (PIB, continuous phase), and 470 nm monodisperse silica particles with two different surface...
متن کاملShear-induced shift of spinodal line in entangled polymer blends.
We study the shear-flow effects on phase separation of entangled polymer blends by incorporating into the chemical potential a nonequilibrium contribution due to the flow. The results are compared with those of a previous analysis by other authors which did not modify the chemical potential but used a different assumption for the stress tensor of the blend.
متن کاملControl of charge generation and recombination in ternary polymer/polymer:fullerene photovoltaic blends using amorphous and semi-crystalline copolymers as donors.
Charge generation and recombination processes occurring in ternary photoactive copolymer:copolymer:fullerene blends consisting of different mixing ratios between entirely amorphous and semi-crystalline PPE-PPV copolymers are investigated by transient absorption pump-probe and pump-push photocurrent spectroscopy. The experiments reveal that an excess of semi-crystalline polymer facilitates excit...
