Abstract In this contribution, isosorbide dinonanoate (SDN), an environmentally sustainable plasticizer for polypropylene (PP), is successfully synthesized by virtue of esterification reaction using isosorbide and nonanoic acid with the reaction temperature of 120 °C, and the reaction time of 5 h. When the corporation of plasticizer SDN into PP matrix is the [...]

Abstract With the rapid development of the electronics, communication, and energy industries, there is an increasing demand for flexible materials with high thermal conductivity and electrical insulation properties. Silicone rubber (SR) is widely used in various fields due to its excellent mechanical properties. However, its intrinsic low thermal conductivity requires [...]

Abstract To enhance the dispersion and compatibility of graphite oxide (GO) in the rubber matrix, a new method of functional polymer modifying GO was proposed in this study. PS and CPS microspheres were first prepared by dispersion polymerization, then functionalized graphite oxide rGO-PS and rGO-CPS were prepared by electrostatic interaction, [...]

Abstract PEO-based non-isocyanate polyhydroxyurethane (NIPU, PHU) networks physically modified with octa(3-hydroxy-3-methylbutyldimethylsiloxy)POSS (8OHPOSS) were synthesized via one-pot one-step approach. POSS was introduced into the polymer matrix in the amount of 1–10 wt%. Polar hydroxyls on the vertex groups of POSS allowed for uniform dispersion even up to high loadings (10 wt%). [...]

Abstract It is proverbial that the rheological properties of low-density polyethylene (LDPE) and linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) are disparate because of their different molecular microstructures due to the unlike methods of polymerization. In this work, multiple characterizations including Size-Exclusion Chromatography (SEC) coupled with low-angle light scattering and viscosmeter, 13C Nuclear [...]
