In situ microfibrillar ethylene–octene copolymer (POE)/poly(lactic acid) (PLA) composites (MFCs) with different phase morphologies were prepared by controlling the stretching speed and maintaining the weight ratio of POE/PLA of 80/20. Four different stretching speeds were employed to study the effect of PLA microfibrillar morphology on tensile, crystalline, and rheological properties of MFCs. Scanning electron microscopic images revealed that the morphology of PLA phase was strongly influenced by stretching speed. MFCs with highest aspect ratio and smaller diameter of PLA microfibrils were obtained with a stretching speed of 60 rpm. The PLA microfibrils with high aspect ratio had the best reinforcement effect on MFCs. The dynamic rheological properties indicated that the MFCs achieved higher storage modulus and loss modulus at the stretching speed of 60 rpm.

Milling process through mechanical alloying method was performed on a powder mixture of Fe-80.11 wt%, Nb-17.62 wt% and C-2.26 wt% to produce Fe-NbC composite by in situ reaction. Ball to powder weight ratio parameter was selected since formation of phase and microstructure characteristics of this composite were expected to depend on ball collision event during milling. The as-milled and sintered Fe-NbC was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Scanning Electron Microscopic (SEM). We found that formation of Fe-NbC by in situ required mechanical alloying of the mixture using 10:1 of ball to powder weight ratio to achieve small crystallite size and more homogeneous of NbC phase.

The lignin/PE composites with different compatibilizing agents were extruded and the tensile properties have been tested. The weight ratio of PE, ligin and PE-a-MAH were 7.5%, 10%and 12.5wt%; the weight ratio of PE, ligin and PP-a-MAH were 5%, 7.5% and 10wt% respectively. Scanning Electron Microscopic (SEM) was used to characterize the morphology of the composites. The tensile strengths of lignin/PE composites with PE-g-MAH were higher than that one with PP-g-MAH. Both of them were higher than that one without any compatibilizing agent. And PE-g-MAH was the better compatibilizing agent confirmed by the mechanical tests and SEM results.

This work was designed to study the rheologicl properties of mixture of HPMC and CMC solutions because their rheologicl properties are very important in no matter food or pharmaceutical industry processing operations. Experiments were performed at different mixture ratios, shear rates and temperatures. The static and dynamic rheological properties tests were measured through the rheometer AR-550 and were investigated by using Power Law equation, Cross equation and Arrhenius equation. The results showed that the HPMC-CMC solutions behaved as typical Non-Newtonian shear-thinning fluids and had stronger non-Newtonian nature. With the concentration(CMC)increasing, consistency coefficient K, Zero Shearing Viscosity η0,viscous flow activation energy E, storage modulus G and loss modulus G all increased but decreased with the temperature increasing, except for Non-Newtonian index n. And viscosity was the dominant property in the mixture of HPMC-CMC solutions.

Palygorskite/polyacrylamide (PAM) composited thickeners were prepared via in-situ polymerization. To optimize the preparation, the dependence of the viscosity, rheological properties and electrolyte resistance of the composited thickeners on the initiator concentrations, sodium hydroxide concentrations and palygorskite contents was investigated. By measuring their dynamic rheological properties, thickening mechanism of composited thickeners was explored. The composited thickeners showed excellent electrolyte resistance which represented good synergistic effect of inorganic/organic composited thickener.
