Abstract: A structured organic film (SOF) is disclosed. The structured organic film includes a plurality of segments, a plurality of linkers, and a plurality of capping segments. The structured organic film also includes a first surface of the SOF. The film also includes a parallel second surface of the SOF connected to the first surface by a thickness of the SOF, where a segment to capping segment ratio is greater at the first surface as compared to the parallel second surface. A membrane including a free-standing film comprised of a structured organic film is also disclosed.

Abstract: Thermoplastic polymer particles can be produced that comprise a thermoplastic polymer and an emulsion stabilizer (e.g., nanoparticles and/or surfactant) associated with an outer surface of the particles. The nanoparticles may be embedded in the outer surface of the particles. Melt emulsification can be used to produce said particles. For example, a method may include: mixing a mixture comprising a thermoplastic polymer, an carrier fluid that is immiscible with the thermoplastic polymer, and the emulsion stabilizer at a temperature greater than a melting point or softening temperature of the thermoplastic polymer and at a shear rate sufficiently high to disperse the thermoplastic polymer in the carrier fluid; cooling the mixture to below the melting point or softening temperature of the thermoplastic polymer to form the thermoplastic polymer particles; and separating the thermoplastic polymer particles from the carrier fluid.

Abstract: An organic solvent-free phase-inversion emulsification process for a low molecular weight amorphous polyester resin includes forming a mixture by adding to the amorphous polyester resin: i. a surfactant; ii. an aqueous solution of a neutralizing agent; and iii. a portion of water that is about 40% or less of a total amount of water used to form a phase-inversion emulsion, heating the mixture to dissolve the amorphous polyester resin to provide a dissolved amorphous polyester and adding water up to the total amount of water to the dissolved amorphous polyester to form a latex of the amorphous polyester resin. The resultant latex is used in processes of making a toner composition. A latex of an amorphous polyester resins is made by such processes have latex particles that are unimodal.
