This study refers to the synthesis of new advanced preformed particle gels (PPGs) based on 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropane sulfonic acid (AMPS), Polyvinyl Pirrolidone (PVP) and bentonite clay. For the synthesis, [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text]-methylenebisacrylamide was used as crosslinker and ammonium persulphate as initiator. As a consequence of the inclusion of clay into the polymer matrix and the intercalation of AMPS between the layers as well as the presence of hydrophilic interactions occurring between partners, the final PPGs possessed greater swelling degrees, slower de-swelling process, high thermal stability and enhanced mechanical properties in comparison with pure PPG.

The microstructures and mechanical properties of the Mg88.5Zn5Y6.5-XREX (RE = Yb and Ce, X = 0, 1.5, 3.0, and 4.5) (wt.%) alloys were investigated in the present study. Mg88.5Zn5Y6.5 is composed of three phases, namely, α-Mg, long-period stacking ordered (LPSO) phases, and intermetallic compounds. The content of the LPSO phases decreased with the addition of Ce and Yb, and no LPSO phases were detected in Mg88.5Zn5Y2.0Yb4.5. The alloys containing the LPSO phases possessed a stratified microstructure and exhibited excellent mechanical properties. Mg88.5Zn5Y5.0Ce1.5 exhibited the highest creep resistance and mechanical strength at both room temperature and 200 °C, owing to its suitable microstructure and high thermal stability. The yield strength of Mg88.5Zn5Y5.0Ce1.5 at room temperature was 358 MPa. The ultimate tensile strength of Mg88.5Zn5Y5.0Ce1.5 at room temperature and 200 °C was 453 MPa and 360 MPa, respectively.

The improvement in the properties of nanocomposites is achieved with a load volume fraction of up to 10% due to the very high ratio of the load aspect. Moreover, they have the advantage of being processed with conventional equipment and techniques (extrusion, injection, etc.) used for polymers. In order for the clay to be uniformly dispersed in the polymer and there to be good interaction with the polymer matrix, superficial treatments of the clays with organic salts are essential for it to become organophilic, and, thus the material obtained has better performance. In this study, it was evaluated the influence of two speeds (100 and 200 rpm) of processing and thermo mechanical properties of nanocomposites with 3% of bentonite clay prepared with two speeds and two threads. The nanocomposites showed better properties as compared to properties of polyamide 6, especially the samples heated at screw speed of 100 rpm.

The thermo- and light-stabilizing activity of glycidyloxycarbonyl- and glycidyloxymethylsubstituted derivatives of the sulphur-containing rosin in the compositions on the basis of plasticized polyvinyl chloride were studied. It found that the proposed epoxy-derivative adducts of rosin possess thermal stability allowing them to withstand the processing temperature of polyvinyl chloride compositions. The developments showed that the proposed stabilizers can protect the polymer matrix against light radiation. It revealed that the film samples prepared with the help of the proposed stabilizers showed the high thermal stability, impact resistance, good frost resistance and mechanical strength.

Microstructure, mechanical properties and electrical conductivity in Cu-0.73%Cr alloy after HPT process and the subsequent aging treatment have been investigated. Ultrafine grained structure with the grain size ~150 nm has been achieved after the HPT and the subsequent aging treatment. Ultrafine grains with some growth twins were preserved in the overaged state, showing high thermal stability. The peak microhardness and tensile strength of Cu-0.73%Cr alloy after the HPT was found at 480 °C for 2 hours. Electrical conductivity shows an increase trend in the different aging states.

In this work was studied the permeation of CO2in films of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) and organoclay modified with polyvinylalcohol (MMTHDTMA/PVA) obtained from melt blending. Permeation study showed that the incorporation of the modified organoclay generates a significant effect on the barrier properties of HDPE. When a load of 2 wt% ofMMTHDTMA/PVAwas incorporated in the polymer matrix, the flow of CO2decreased 43.7% compared to pure polyethylene. The results of TEM showed that clay layers were dispersed in the polymeric matrix, obtaining an exfoliated-structure nanocomposite. The thermal stability of nanocomposite was significantly enhanced with respect to the pristine HDPE. DSC results showed that the crystallinity was maintained as the pure polymeric matrix. Consequently, the decrease of permeability was attributable only to the effect of tortuosity generated by the dispersion ofMMTHDTMA/PVA. Notably the mechanical properties remain equal to those of pure polyethylene, but with an increase in barrier properties to CO2. This procedure allows obtaining nanocomposites of HDPE with a good barrier property to CO2which would make it competitive in the use of packaging.
