Effect of the structural features of biobased linear polyester plasticizers on the crystallization of polylactides
(Elsevier, 2022-08)
This work presents, for the first time, a detailed report on how the nucleation and crystallization of polylactide (PLLA) are affected by biobased aliphatic polyesters plasticizers. Three biobased polyesters were synthesized ...
Continuous Cooling Curve Diagrams of Isotactic-Polypropylene/Polyethylene Blends: Mutual Nucleating Effects under Fast Cooling Conditions
(American Chemical Society, 2021-05-25)
Crystallization kinetics under processing-relevant cooling conditions of polyethylene/isotactic-polypropylene (PE/PP) blends, with compositions similar to real recycled blends, was investigated through an in situ temperature ...
Crystallization of a Self-Assembling Nucleator in Poly(L-lactide) Melt
(American Chemical Society, 2021-09-01)
[EN]In the present work, crystallization of a soluble nucleator N, N′, N″-tricyclohexyl-1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylamide (TMC-328) in a poly(l-lactic acid) (PLLA) matrix has been studied at different temperatures. Based on ...
A Review on Current Strategies for the Modulation of Thermomechanical, Barrier, and Biodegradation Properties of Poly (Butylene Succinate) (PBS) and Its Random Copolymers
(MDPI, 2022-03-03)
The impact of plastics on the environment can be mitigated by employing biobased and/or biodegradable materials (i.e., bioplastics) instead of the traditional “commodities”. In this context, poly (butylene succinate) (PBS) ...
Polycaprolactone Adsorption and Nucleation onto Graphite Nanoplates for Highly Flexible, Thermally Conductive, and Thermomechanically Stiff Nanopapers
(American Chemical Society, 2021-12-15)
[EN] Free-standing nanopapers based on graphene and its related materials have been widely studied and proposed for flexible heat spreader applications. Given that these materials are typically brittle, this work reports ...
Crystallization and Morphology of Triple Crystalline Polyethylene-b-poly(ethylene oxide)-b-poly(ε-caprolactone) PE-b-PEO-b-PCL Triblock Terpolymers
(MDPI, 2021-09-16)
The morphology and crystallization behavior of two triblock terpolymers of polymethylene, equivalent to polyethylene (PE), poly (ethylene oxide) (PEO), and poly (ε-caprolactone) (PCL) are studied: PE227.1-b-PEO4615.1-b-PCL3210.4 ...
Rheology and Tack Properties of Biodegradable Isodimorphic Poly(butylene succinate)-Ran-Poly(ε-caprolactone) Random Copolyesters and Their Potential Use as Adhesives
(MDPI, 2022-02-06)
The sole effect of the microstructure of biodegradable isodimorphic poly(butylene succinate)-ran-poly(ε-caprolactone) random copolyesters on their rheological properties is investigated. To avoid the effect of molecular ...
Surface Roughness Enhances Self-Nucleation of High-Density Polyethylene Droplets Dispersed within Immiscible Blends
(American Chemical Society, 2022)
[EN] Highly linear or high-density polyethylenes (HDPEs) have an intrinsically high nucleation density compared to other polyolefins. Enhancing their nucleation density by self-nucleation is therefore difficult, leading ...
Nanostructural Organization of Thin Films Prepared by Sequential Dip-Coating Deposition of Poly(Butylene Succinate), Poly(ε-Caprolactone) and Their Copolyesters (PBS-ran-PCL)
(Elsevier, 2021-06-04)
In this work, we prepare and characterize multiphasic thin films containing poly(epsilon-caprolactone), PCL, poly (butylene succinate), PBS, and a poly (butylene succinate-ran-epsilon-caprolactone) (PBS-ran-PCL) random ...
Effect of the TrFE Content on the Crystallization and SSA Thermal Fractionation of P(VDF-co-TrFE) Copolymers
(MDPI, 2022-09-08)
In this contribution, we study the effect of trifluoro ethylene (TrFE) comonomer content (samples with 80/20, 75/25, and 70/30 VDF/TrFE molar ratios were used) on the crystallization in P(VDF-co-TrFE) in comparison with a ...
