Modification of model ethylene-butene copolymers using an organic peroxide
(Elsevier, 2005-01-26)
Well-characterized linear ethylene-butene-1 copolymers with polydispersities lower than 1.1 were modified using an organic peroxide with the purpose of assessing the relative importance of chain-linking processes. The ...
Cure kinetics of epoxy systems modified with block copolymers
(John Wiley & Sons Ltd, 2004-10)
The kinetics pathway of a 4,4′‐diaminodiphenylmethane‐cured diglycidyl ether of bisphenol‐A (DGEBA) epoxy system modified with a PEO–PPO–PEO block copolymer has been investigated by differential scanning calorimetry. The ...
Facile one-pot synthesis and solution behavior of poly(acrylic acid)-block-polycaprolactone copolymers
(Elsevier Science, 2019-01)
A metal-free protocol to obtain poly(acrylic acid)-block-polycaprolactone diblock copolymers (PAA-b-PCL) by a one-pot method involving simultaneous Reversible Addition-Fragmentation Chain Transfer (RAFT) and Ring Opening ...
Tautomerizable styrenic copolymers confined in AAO templates
(Elsevier, 2013-08)
The aim of this work is to prepare new keto-enol tautomerizable polystyrene copolymer nanofibers, by infiltrating the polymer into nanoporous anodized aluminum oxide (AAO) nanocavities, and to examine the influence of ...
Coupling between mean curvature and textures in block copolymer thin films deposited on curved substrates
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2013-08-16)
We study the dynamics of coarsening in a cylinder-forming polystyrene-block-poly(ethylene-alt-propylene) block copolymer thin film deposited on a topographically patterned substrate. Thermal annealing leads to highly ordered ...
Experimental studies and mathematical modeling of the curing reaction of bioinspired copolymers
(Taylor & Francis, 2018-10)
Polymer curing is a complex process that significantly delineate the final properties of the synthetized material. In this work, the photo-induced crosslinking reaction of synthetic “bioinspired” copolymers based on thymine ...
Thermoresponsive behavior of scaffolds based on fumarate-N-isopropylacrylamide copolymers for potential biomedical applications
(Taylor & Francis As, 2021-06)
In this work, we analyze the thermoresponsive behavior of scaffolds prepared from dioctyl fumarate-N-isopropylacrylamide copolymers (DFN) with different compositions. Lower critical solution temperature (LCST) of these ...
Mixed-morphology and mixed-orientation block copolymer bilayers
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2014-08)
Block copolymers have attracted considerable attention due to their ability to self-assemble into highly regular structures, spanning length scales from several nanometers to over 100 nm. Block copolymers confined in thin ...
Smectic block copolymer thin films on corrugated substrates
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2015-02)
In this work we study equilibrium and non-equilibrium structures of smectic block copolymer thin films deposited on a topographically patterned substrate. A Brazovskii free energy model is employed to analyze the coupling ...
