High molecular weight polymers: Supercritical solvents as blend demixing and grafting reaction medium
(Nova Science Publishers, 2014)
Near and supercritical fluids offer very interesting alternatives for separation processes, reaction medium and in the synthesis of new materials. Particularly, the applications of supercritical fluids (SCF) in the polymer ...
Stimuli-Responsive Polymeric Systems for Smart Drug Delivery
(Springer, 2020)
This chapter provides a general description of smart drug delivery systems (DDSs) based on the use of stimuli-responsive polymers. Smart DDSs have the distinctiveness of carrying out the release of therapeutics at the ...
Particle scattering in the rayleigh-debye- gans regime: Applications to polymer latexes and polymer-polymer concentrated dispersions
(Research Singpost, 2010)
In this chapter we have given an overview of the Rayleigh-Debye-Gans (RDG) theory applied in the analysis of Small Angle Scattering (SAS) data of different types of particle systems. First some useful derivations needed ...
Polymer formulations: Additives
(CRC Press - Taylor & Francis Group, 2009)
Polymer additives fulfill several functions, both in processing the material and in improving the properties of the product, and can act, for example, as antioxidants, light stabilizers, antistatic agents, flame retardants, ...
General concepts about epoxy polymers
(Wiley-VCH, 2010)
The chapters describes the polymerization chemistry of epoxy monomers, the transformations taking place during the formation of an epoxy network and the general properties of epoxy networks.
Composite foams made from biodegradable polymers for food packaging applications
(Springer, 2018)
Polymeric foams are cell structures (porous microstructures) that have been frequently made from synthetic polymers for use in the development of food packaging. Due to the problems concerning the environmental impact ...
Nanostructured Polymers
(Woodhead Publishing, 2017)
In the last few years, nanostructured polymers (NSPs), with their different morphologies and different spatial organizations, have found a wide range of uses in the medical and pharmaceutical fields. There is a considerable ...
Functionalization of surfaces using polymer brushes: An overview of techniques, strategies, and approaches
(John Wiley & Sons Inc, 2017)
Polymer brushes represent a powerful and versatile macromolecular strategy for surface modification. In this chapter, we provide an overview of the fundamental notions of this branch of macromolecular science and introduce ...
Introduction to reactive and functional polymers: A note from the editor
(Springer, 2020)
Reactive and functional polymers are manufactured essentially from the chemical or physical modification of their precursors or by the addition of active fillers. These polymers have proven important for the development ...
Polymer characterization and degradation: Pyrolysis-GC/MS techniques
(CRC Press - Taylor & Francis Group, 2009)
This entry examines several recent advances in pyrolysis gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (Py–GC/MS). The use of analytical pyrolysis coupled to GC/MS in polymer studies has greatly increased in the past few years ...
