Diene/polar monomer copolymers, compatibilisers for polar/non-polar polymer blends. A controlled block copolymerisation with a single-site component samarocene initiator

A new organic–inorganic ferroelectric hybrid capacitor designed by uniformly incorporating monodisperse 15 nm ferroelectric BaTiO3 nanocubes into non-polar polymer blends of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) and acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) terpolymer is described.

Polar Polymer

The creation of films constituted by semiconductor oxides of zinc oxide (ZnO) incorporated into a polar polymer matrix was proposed, looking for such films to be easy to apply, friendly to the environment and compatible with materials. Within the experimental process, the synthesis of styrene copolymers with a polar monomer (methyl methacrylate) was carried out through the suspension and emulsion polymerization processes.

Development Application

Core edge spectroscopy methods are versatile tools for investigating a wide variety of materials. They can be used to probe the electronic states of materials in bulk solids, on surfaces, or in the gas phase. This family of methods involves promoting an inner shell (core) electron to an excited state and recording either the primary excitation or secondary decay of the excited state. The techniques are complimentary and have different strengths and limitations for studying challenging aspects of materials. The need to identify components in polymers or polymer blends at high spatial resolution has driven development, application, and integration of results from several of these methods.

A Domains

Two new morphological measurements based on digital image analysis, CoContinuity and CoContinuity Balance, have been developed and implemented for quantitative measurement of morphology in polymer blends. The morphology of polymer blends varies with phase ratio, composition and processing. A typical morphological evolution for increasing phase ratio of polymer A to polymer B starts with discrete domains of A in a matrix of B (A/B < 1), moves through a cocontinuous distribution of A and B (A/B ≈ 1) and finishes with discrete domains of B in a matrix of A (A/B > 1). For low phase ratios, A is often seen as solid convex particles embedded in the continuous B phase. As the ratio increases, A domains begin to evolve into irregular shapes, though still recognizable as separate domains. Further increase in the phase ratio leads to A domains which extend into and surround the B phase while the B phase simultaneously extends into and surrounds the A phase.
