In this research, high oxygen-barrier films were organized based on low-density polyethylene (LDPE)/ ethylene vinyl alcohol (EVOH)/ polyethylene-grafted maleic anhydride (LDPE-g-MA) compatibilizer. The effects of 10–30 wt. % EVOH and 0–10 wt. % LDPE-g-MA loadings on the properties of final films were evaluated. The morphology of specimens was observed by using scanning electron microscopy (SEM)...

application of supramolecular polymer blending in preparation of materialswith adjustable mechanical properties is addressed. it is anticipated that the microstructure and properties of polymer blends are drastically controlled by the inter-molecular interactions. on this basis, the effect of strongly dimerising ureidopyrimidinone end groups (upy) with the capability of quadruple hydrogen bondi...

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...

polypropylene / polystyrene blends containing montmorillonite (mmt) were prepared using a twin screw extruder followed by fiber spinning. the melt intercalation of pp and ps alloys was carried out in the presence of a compatibilizer such as maleic anhydride-g-polypropylene (mpp). the crystallization morphology, thermal behaviors and mechanical properties of polypropylene/polystyrene (pp/ps) nan...

Recent advances in inkjet-printed organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) based on organic semiconductor/insulating polymer blends are reviewed in this article. Organic semiconductor/insulating polymer blends are attractive ink candidates for enhancing the jetting properties, inducing uniform film morphologies, and/or controlling crystallization behaviors of organic semiconductors. Representat...
