Application of a constant hole volume Sanchez–Lacombe equation of state to mixtures relevant to polymeric foaming
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2018)A variant of the Sanchez–Lacombe equation of state is applied to several polymers, blowing agents, and saturated mixtures of interest to the polymer foaming industry. These are low-density polyethylene– carbon dioxide and ... -
Ordering mechanisms in triblock copolymers
(American Physical Society, 2004)The ordering mechanisms for an ABC triblock copolymer system are studied using self-consistent field theory. We find a two-phase mechanism, similar to what has been suggested experimentally two-step mecha- nism. Analysis ... -
Origins of Elastic Properties in Ordered Block Copolymer/Nanoparticle Composites
(American Chemical Society, 2004)We predict a diblock copolymer melt in the lamellar phase with added spherical nanoparticles that have an affinity for one block to have a lower tensile modulus than a pure diblock copolymer system. This weakening is due ... -
Self-Assembly of Amphiphilic Nanoparticle-Coil “Tadpole” Macromolecules
