Reduction of polymer surface tension by crystallized polymer nanoparticles
(AIP Publishing, 2010-10-14)Self-consistent field theory is applied to investigate the effects of crystallized polymer nanoparticles on polymer surface tension. It is predicted that the nanoparticles locate preferentially at the polymer surface and ... -
Towards Maximal Cell Density Predictions for Polymeric Foams
(Elsevier, 2011-10-04)Self-consistent field theory is used to make direct predictions for the maximum possible cell densities for model polymer foam systems without recourse to classical nucleation theory or activation barrier kinetic arguments. ...
