Effect of the crystallization conditions on the exclusion/inclusion balance in biodegradable poly(butylene succinate-ran-butylene adipate) copolymers
(ACS, 2020-07-14)
Biomedical applications of polymers require precise control of the solid-state structure, which is of particular interest for biodegradable copolymers. In this work, we evaluated the influence of crystallization conditions ...
Organocatalyzed Polymerization of PET-mb-poly(oxyhexane) Copolymers and Their Self-Assembly into Double Crystalline Superstructures
(ACS Publications, 2019-08-30)
Double crystalline multi-block copolymers exhibit two well-defined melting temperatures associated with the two phases formed by their constituent blocks. The crystalline superstructure formed in these copolymers is complex ...
Novel Biobased Polyamide 410/Polyamide 6/CNT Nanocomposites
(MDPI, 2018-09)
Biobased polyamide 410 (PA410)/multiwall carbon nanotube (CNT) nanocomposites (NCs) were obtained by melt-mixing in a twin screw extruder a Polyamide 6 (PA6)-based masterbatch (with 15 wt % CNT content) with neat PA410. ...
Crystallization and self-nucleation of PLA, PBS and PCL in their immiscible binary and ternary blends
(Elservier, 2019-06-13)
Three semicrystalline polyesters, poly(lactic acid), poly(caprolactone) and poly(butylene succinate) (PLA, PCL and PBS) were melt blended to prepare binary and ternary systems of selected compositions. In binary blends ...
Nucleation modalities in poly(lactide), poly(butylene succinate) and poly(ε-caprolactone) ternary blends with partial wetting morphology
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2020-08-17)
Ternary biodegradable polymer blends of poly(lactic acid) (PLA), poly(butylene succinate) (PBS), and poly(ε‐caprolactone) (PCL) with the composition 45/10/45 wt% and exhibiting partial‐wetting morphology were prepared. In ...
Thermo-rheological effects on succesful 3D printing of biodegradable polyesters
(Elsevier, 2020-06-23)
Biodegradable polybutylene succinate (PBS) and poly (butylene succinate-ran-adipate) (PBSA) were characterized to find the thermo-rheological bases for 3D printing by Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF). In dynamic viscoelastic ...
Direct Identification of Three Crystalline Phases in PEO-b-PCL-b-PLLA Triblock Terpolymer by In Situ Hot-Stage Atomic Force Microscopy
(Elsevier, 2020-08-04)
In this work, we provide a detailed description of the tri-lamellar nanoscale morphology of a triple crystalline PEO-b-PCL-b-PLLA triblock terpolymer obtained by Hot-Stage Atomic Force microscopy (AFM) imaging and Wide ...
Nucleation of poly(lactide) partially wet droplets in ternary blends with poly(butylene succinate) and poly(ε-caprolactone)
(ACS, 2020-02-25)
This work presents the first investigation on the crystallization behavior of partially wet droplets in immiscible ternary blends. Poly(lactide), poly(ε-caprolactone), and poly(butylene succinate) (PLA, PCL, and PBS, ...
Controlling the Isothermal Crystallization of Isodimorphic PBS-ran-PCL Random Copolymers by Varying Composition and Supercooling
(MDPI, 2019-12-20)
In this work, we study for the first time, the isothermal crystallization behavior of isodimorphic random poly(butylene succinate)-ran-poly(ε-caprolactone) copolyesters, PBS-ran-PCL, previously synthesized by us. We perform ...
Morphology, Nucleation, and Isothermal Crystallization Kinetics of Poly(Butylene Succinate) Mixed with a Polycarbonate/MWCNT Masterbatch
(MDPI, 2018-04-10)
In this study, nanocomposites were prepared by melt blending poly(butylene succinate) (PBS) with a polycarbonate (PC)/multi-wall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) masterbatch, in a twin-screw extruder. The nanocomposites contained ...
