In this paper, the high-density polyethylene/maleic anhydride grafted high-density polyethylene/polyamide 6 (HDPE/HDPE-g-MA/PA6) ternary blends were prepared by blend melting. The binary dispersed phase (HDPE-g-MA/PA6) is of a core-shell structure, which is confirmed by the SEM observation and theoretical calculation. The crystallization behavior and mechanical properties of PA6, HDPE-g-MA, HDPE, and their blends were investigated. The crystallization process, crystallization temperature, melting temperature, and crystallinity were studied by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) testing. The results show that PA6 and HDPE-g-MA interact with each other during crystallizing, and their crystallization behaviors are different when the composition is different. At the same time, the addition of core-shell particles (HDPE-g-MA/PA6) can affect the crystallization behavior of the HDPE matrix. With the addition of the core-shell particles, the comprehensive mechanical properties of HDPE were enhanced, including tensile strength, elastic modulus, and the impact strength. Combined with previous studies, the toughening mechanism of core-shell structure is discussed in detail. The mechanism of the core-shell structure toughening is not only one, but the result of a variety of mechanisms together.

ABSTRACTNew composites based on nano-size particles provide a promising route to the fabrication of novel materials for advanced technology applications. To produce desired materials, it is important to control the composition and distribution of nanoclusters within the bulk or surface coating of nanostructured materials. Towards this purpose, we have developed a novel method of processing nanocomposite materials utilizing colloidal chemistry techniques to tailor their microstructure. Unique composite aggregates of nanoparticles with a core-shell structure were prepared using a special scheme ofcontrolledpolymer adsorption. Polymers which specifically adsorb on both nano- and micron- size particles are used as tethers to enable desired coating of the later particles with the former and to enhance the cluster integrity. Nanocomposite particles consisting of micron-size alumina or silicon nitride as cores and nano-size alumina, titania, or iron oxide as shell particles have been successfully prepared using this process. The surface charge of the core particles is reversed after the adsorption of polyacrylic acid polymers. This promotes the interaction between the core and the shell particles and therefore nanoparticles added subsequently to the core particle suspension coat on core particles by electrostatic as well as possibly hydrogen bonding bridging mechanisms. Success of the process depends to a large extent on the absence of homoflocculation of nanoparticles and this is achieved by removing all the unadsorbed free polymers from the bulk solution before introducing them to coat on the polymer coated core particles. Coating itself is estimated by monitoring change in the zeta potential of core-shell structure. The coating scheme as well as the characterization of these nanocomposite particles are discussed in detail. This processing scheme provides a simple way for the preparation of both bulk and surface coatings with these engineered nanostructured particles as building blocks.

Recycled poly(ethylene terephthalate) (R-PET)/high-density polyethylene (HDPE)/glycidyl methacrylate grafted poly(ethylene-octene) (mPOE) blends, in which the binary (HDPE/mPOE) dispersed phase was of a HDPE core-mPOE shell structure, were prepared. For this purpose, HDPE-g-mPOE graft copolymers were prepared in HDPE/mPOE blends via reactive extrusion with the presence of the free radical initiator dicumyl peroxide (DCP). Then, R-PET was blended with the HDPE/mPOE blends by melt extrusion. The effect of the DCP and mPOE content in the HDPE/mPOE blends on the phase morphology and mechanical properties of the R-PET/HDPE/mPOE blends were studied systematically. It was found that the blends containing reactive compatibilizer exhibited the encapsulation of the HDPE by the mPOE, forming core–shell particles dispersed phase morphology. The graft chains of HDPE-g-mPOE-g-PET formed by the in situ reaction between R-PET and mPOE phases reduced the interfacial tension. Consequently, the dispersed phase morphology was observed to form smaller diameter core–shell particles. The resultant blends exhibited an effect on both the thermal and mechanical properties. Differential scanning calorimetric analysis showed the dispersed phase particles could act as a nucleating agent in the R-PET matrix to improve the crystallization temperature, while the graft copolymers formed in the compatibilized R-PET/HDPE/mPOE blend decreased the nucleation activity. Notched Charpy impact strength and elongation at break of the R-PET were improved by forming the core–shell particles dispersed phase morphology.

AbstractIn this study, core–shell particles were prepared as a hybrid material, in which a thin polymer shell was formed on the surface of the SiO2 sphere particles. The core–shell structure was successfully achieved without adding a surfactant via simple free-radical polymerization (soap-free emulsion polymerization) for various monomers of styrene, methyl methacrylate (MMA), and their derivatives. MMA formed thin homogeneous shells of polymer (PMMA) less than 100 nm in thickness with complete surface coverage and a very smooth shell surface. The obtained shell morphology strongly depended on the monomers, which suggests different shell formation mechanisms with respect to the monomers. It was found that the cross-linking monomer 1,4-divinylbenzene tends to promote shell formation, and the cross-linking reaction may stabilize the core–shell structure throughout radical polymerization. It should also be noted that the present method produced a considerable amount of pure polymer besides the core–shell particles. The glass transition temperatures of the obtained polymer shells were higher than those of the corresponding bulk materials. This result suggests strong interactions at the core–shell interface.

SiCp/Cu composites were prepared by vacuum hot-pressing at 770°C for 1.5 h under the pressure of 30MPa. The composites were enhanced by CNTs with different volume fractions from 0 vol. % to 4 vol. %. Three-step approach wrapping process was introduced to prepare composite powders. XRD and SEM techniques were used to characterize the samples. It is found that the core-shell structure composed of SiC core and Cu shell was formed in the composite particles. Optimized volume fraction of CNTs is 1 vol. %. Minimum Porosity and maximum Hardness is about 0.84% and 2.31GPa, respectively. But maximum Flexural strength was measured as 248MPa for samples containing 2 vol. % CNTs. Flexural strength was improved by the bridge effect caused by the increased CNTs.

In this paper, the monodisperse TiO2 particles and TiO2 coated SiO2 core-shell particles were prepared by the method of microemulsion, and the phase and morphology of TiO2 and TiO2 coated SiO2 core-shell structure particles were analyzed by using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM). At the same time, the phase changes and morphology changes of the two different kinds of structural particles as the changes of sintering temperature were compared. The results show that when the TiO2 particles were prepared by the method of microemulsion, the content of anatase TiO2 decreased gradually and the rutile TiO2 increased gradually as the sintering temperature increases from 550 °C to 650 °C; the core-shell particles of TiO2 coated SiO2 prepared were anatase when the sintering temperature increases from 600 °C to 800 °C; all of the particles size were about 1μm, the monodispersity of the particles were optimal and the particles were coated evenly, smoothly.

Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) is a powerful tool in charge transfer (CT) process research. By analyzing the relative intensity of the characteristic bands in the bridging molecules, one can obtain detailed information about the CT between two materials. Herein, we synthesized a series of Au nanorods (NRs) with different length-to-diameter ratios (L/Ds) and used these Au NRs to prepare a series of core–shell structures with the same Cu2O thicknesses to form Au NR–4-mercaptobenzoic acid (MBA)@Cu2O core–shell structures. Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) absorption bands were adjusted by tuning the L/Ds of Au NR cores in these assemblies. SERS spectra of the core-shell structure were obtained under 633 and 785 nm laser excitations, and on the basis of the differences in the relative band strengths of these SERS spectra detected with the as-synthesized assemblies, we calculated the CT degree of the core–shell structure. We explored whether the Cu2O conduction band and valence band position and the SPR absorption band position together affect the CT process in the core–shell structure. In this work, we found that the specific surface area of the Au NRs could influence the CT process in Au NR–MBA@Cu2O core–shell structures, which has rarely been discussed before.
