Enhancing the Mechanical Properties of Biodegradable Polymer Blends Using Tubular Nanoparticle Stitching of the Interfaces
Yichen Guo,Shan He,Kai Yang,Yuan Xue,Xianghao Zuo,Yingjie Yu,Ying Liu,Chung-Chueh Chang,Miriam Rafailovich +8 more
TL;DR: Transmission electron microscopy images of thin sections indicated that even though both RDP-coated nanotubes and clay platelets segregated to the interfacial regions between the two immiscible polymers, only the platelets, having the larger specific surface area, were able to reduce the PBAT domain sizes.

Effects of clay platelets and natural nanotubes on mechanical properties and gas permeability of Poly (lactic acid) nanocomposites
Yichen Guo,Kai Yang,Xianghao Zuo,Yuan Xue,Clement Marmorat,Ying Liu,Chung-Chueh Chang,Miriam Rafailovich +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed a method for measuring the work of adhesion (W a ) between nanoparticles and their matrix, which can be used to determine their degree of intercalation within the matrix, and applied it to poly (lactic acid) (PLA) nanocomposites with either sodium montmorillonite clays (C-Na+), organically modified clays(C-30B), resorcinol di (phenyl phosphate) (RDP), Halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) and RDP coated H

TL;DR: CMT mapping of the internal structure showed that large, periodic, striations formed across the interior of the sample corresponding to the formation of regions with low filler particle density, as predicted by the Mullins effect.
