The successful compatibilization of immiscible amorphous polyester (PETG) and semicrystalline polyamide (poly(m-xylylene adipamide) (MXD6)) blends using a phosphonated poly(ethylene terephthalate) ionomer in the Na+ form (Na+-PPET) as minor-component compatibilizer was demonstrated. Na+-PPET/PETG/MXD6 were prepared solution mixing method to enable thin film characterization. phase morphology with respect various monomer concentrations studied contrast optical microscopy (PC-OM) small-angle...
Fully-aromatic homopolyester based on biphenyl 3,4′-bibenzoate facilitated a nematic mesophase and restricted crystallization.
Abstract Vat photopolymerization (VP) is an advanced additive manufacturing (AM) platform that enables production of intricate 3D monoliths are unattainable with conventional methods. In this work, modification amorphous poly(arylene ether sulfone)s (PSU) allows for VP printing. Post‐polymerization telechelic functionalization acrylate functionality yielded photocrosslinkable PSUs across a molecular weight range. 1 H NMR spectroscopy confirms chemical composition and quantitative...
Abstract Melt polycondensation of dimethyl 3,3′‐bibenzoate (3,3'BB) with various linear and cycloaliphatic diols enabled the synthesis a series semi‐aromatic polyesters. Size exclusion chromatography analysis confirmed high molecular weight ( M n > 20 kg mol −1 ). Compression molding resulted in ductile films further established weights desirable for mechanical performance. 1 H NMR spectroscopy polymer structure retainment cis / trans ratios cyclohexyldimethylene‐based polyesters before...
