Abstract 2D nanomaterials are finding numerous applications in next‐generation electronics, consumer goods, energy generation and storage, healthcare. The rapid rise of utility for necessitates developing means their mass production. This study details a new compressible flow exfoliation method producing using multiphase layered materials suspended high‐pressure gas undergoing expansion. expanded gas–solid mixture is sprayed suitable solvent, where significant portion (up to 10% yield) the...
The effect of blending two low molecular weight diluents (LMWD), dimethyl terephthalate (DMT) and isophthalate (DMI), on the microstructure, free volume, barrier properties poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) was investigated. Incorporation additives at loadings up to 3 wt % led a substantial improvement in PET oxygen, carbon dioxide, helium. Although have similar structures, DMI showed enhanced compared PET/DMT samples. Positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy as well density measurements...
The cost and availability of 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA), a monomer for poly(ethylene 2,5-furandicarboxylate) (PEF), limit the use PEF as biobased alternative to terephthalate) (PET) packaging application. To avail advantages exhibited by PEF, copolymerization PET with small quantities FDCA has been proposed. This work provides first fundamental study effect biaxial orientation, critical microscopic phenomenon polymers, on microstructure properties copolyesters (PETF). In unoriented...
The enhanced solubility of 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid in ethylene glycol results faster kinetics at lower temperatures compared to conventional reaction for polyesters.
Incorporation of the bio-based 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) in poly(ethylene terephthalate) as a copolymer (PETF) improves esterification and depolymerization kinetics due to higher solubility acidity FDCA reaction media.
In this work, the effect of strain-induced crystallization (SIC) on blends polyethylene terephthalate (PET) with antiplasticizers, dimethyl terephthalate, and isophthalate has been studied. Both, inclusion antiplasticizers SIC affect free volume, volume distribution, barrier properties PET. The addition a synergistic twofold decrease in gas permeability relative to amorphous PET is observed. There shift distribution smaller sizes combined reduction polymer segmental mobility that translates...
