Boron nitride, which possesses high thermal conductivity, is often incorporated into polymer matrixes for management. The enhancement in the conductivity depends on filler shape, size, effective dispersion matrix, and interfacial resistance between last two are most challenging issues. To address these challenges, this study different covalent functionalization approaches boron nitride nanotubes (BNNTs) with short polyethylene (PE) chains employed: one based Williamson reaction other nitrene...
The preparation of conductive nanocomposites poly(styrene-b-ethylene-co-butylene-b-styrene) (SEBS) triblock copolymers with chemically modified graphene is reported. Graphene has been functionalized short polyethylene brushes by thiol–ene click chemistry in order to enhance the interactions filler ethylenic phase block copolymer. presence modifies morphology SEBS domains, reducing their size and promoting an isotropic distribution cylinders arranged hexagonal packing, as shown SAXS, AFM,...
Plastic films used in food packaging are multi-layered materials comprising different polymer layers each with a specific function, which makes the very difficult to recycle, ending up landfills or incineration plants. Innovative approaches required resolve this issue and work focuses on adhesive bind together. We report development of new, reusable polyurethane containing dynamic covalent Diels-Alder bonds that can be reversibly opened closed by controlling temperature. The...
A copper/ceria-zirconia catalyst was incorporated onto a DPF following an environmentally-friendly impregnation procedure. Its catalytic activity studied for diesel exhaust NO oxidation and soot combustion reactions.
With a view to the development of new sustainable and functional adhesives, two Diels-Alder (DA) adducts are incorporated as third component into curing process solvent-based solvent-free polyurethanes in this study. The influence nature content DA molecules on retro-DA (rDA) reaction its reversibility cyclability is investigated. It demonstrated that bonding/debonding properties adhesives mainly controlled by concentration adducts, with minimum thermoreversible bond (TB) required depends...
Functionalization of graphene based on the coupling acylium ions under conditions similar to Friedel–Crafts acylation is reported.
Laminating adhesives used in multilayer films present strong, irreversible adhesion that limits the produced packaging systems to single-use applications. From a sustainability point of view, recovery individual polymers after use is imperative and pivotal step make this reversible via breakdown adhesive structure. This work describes promising strategy based on incorporation graphene into thermoreversible resin formulations trigger rupture network by exposure IR radiation. Graphene thermal...
PEEK appears as an excellent candidate to substitute epoxy resins in carbon fibre laminates for high-performance aeronautical applications. The optimization of the properties and, particular, transition region between fibres and matrix appear a major issue prior serial production. Graphene, modified with two compatibilizers, has been incorporated polymer layer purpose imparting additional functionalities enhancing matrix-fibre interaction. It is found that both graphene significantly...
