Effects of surfactants on the formation and the stability of interfacial nanobubbles.
TL;DR: Investigation of the effects of surfactants on the formation and the stability of INBs found no evidence to support the hypothesis that INBs are stabilized by a layer of insoluble organic contaminant or that SSEP introduces surface-active materials to the system that could stabilize INBs.
Foaming behaviour and cell structure of poly(lactic acid) after various modifications
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of melt strength after various modifications on foaming behavior and cell structures of PLA foam was studied and molecular weight, thermal properties and viscosity of poly(lactic acid) was also studied.

The Mechanism of Adhesion Improvement of Elastomeric Silicone Sealants to Difficult-to-Bond Polymeric Substrates through Reactive or Interpenetrating Molecular Brushes
TL;DR: In this article, it is demonstrated that the inclusion of silicone and/or amine-terminated graft molecules, such as silanes or polyethyleneimines, at polymer interfaces, results in the formation of strong molecular bridges between a range of organic substrates and elastomeric sealants leading to significantly improved bonding.
