Current synthetic elastomers suffer from the well-known trade-off between toughness and stiffness. By a combination of multiscale experiments atomistic simulations, transparent unfilled elastomer with simultaneously enhanced stiffness is demonstrated. The designed comprises homogeneous networks ultrastrong, reversible, sacrificial octuple hydrogen bonding (HB), which evenly distribute stress to each polymer chain during loading, thus enhancing stretchability delaying fracture. Strong HBs...
Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) were prepared by the precipitation polymerization process, with vitamin E as template molecule, ethylene glycol dimethacrylate cross-linker, and three different functional monomers, respectively. Adsorption experiments conducted to investigate performance of each MIP compared nonimprinted (NIPs). It was found that MIPs are superior NIPs in general, acrylamide-based showing best adsorption capacity 38.8 mg·g–1 an imprinting factor 2.6. The optimal ratio...
ABSTRACT A molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) was synthesized via a two‐step swelling polymerization method for the purification of lincomycin. Polystyrene microspheres were prepared by dispersion‐polymerization process and used as substrate. Methacrylic acid functional monomer, whereas ethylene glycol dimethacrylate cross‐linker. The MIP structurally characterized examined its separation performance at different conditions (temperature, solvents, etc.). It found that possesses good...
An adaptive interface employing thiol-thioester exchange (TTE) at the resin-filler is introduced to promote interfacial stress relaxation and improve mechanical performance of thermosetting composites.
