摘要:
The present invention provides a nano-composite comprising a clay and a cationic mediator comprised of a hydrophobic unit and a cationic unit. The clay is exfoliated or intercalated by the cationic mediator. The present invention further provides a polymer formulation comprising the nano-composite. The nano-composite is practically useful in formulating compositions such as rubber and tire products with improved and well-balanced properties including gas permeability, cure properties, and/or mechanical properties etc.
摘要:
The present invention provides polymeric nanoparticles comprising triblock and optionally diblock copolymer chains. The architecture of the polymeric nanoparticles may be controlled, resulting in nanoparticles having non-spherical shapes. The present invention also provides a method of preparing the polymeric nanoparticles and a rubber article such as a tire manufactured from a formulation comprising the polymer nanoparticles.
摘要:
A gel composition that is the combination of or reaction product of ingredients comprising a thermoplastic elastomer copolymer comprising polystyrene-b-poly(ethylene-ethylene/propylene)-b-polystyrene, a nylon-grafted elastomer, and an extender.
摘要:
A multi-layer nano-particle composition including a polymer core and at least two additional layers is provided. The nano-particles have a mean average diameter less than about 100 nm. The nano-particles can be modified via, for example, hydrogenation or functionalization. The nano-particles can be advantageously incorporated into rubbers, elastomers, and thermoplastics.
摘要:
The present invention provides polymer nanoparticles with a controlled architecture of nano-necklace, nano-cylinder, nano-ellipsoid, or nano-sphere. The polymer nanoparticle comprises a core polymerized from multiple-vinyl-substituted aromatic hydrocarbons, a shell polymerized from alkyl-substituted styrene, and a polystyrene layer between the core and the shell. The present invention also provides a method of preparing the polymer nanoparticles and a rubber article such as a tire manufactured from a formulation comprising the polymer nanoparticles.

摘要:
Onium-modified polymers, such as polyethers and alkylimidazolium-modified polymers are provided. The polymers have desirable properties such as moisture absorbing capability, low volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emission, and enhanced electrical conductivity. A method to prepare the polymers is also provided, in which green solvents such as ionic liquids are utilized as both reaction media and reactants.
摘要:
The present invention provides a polymer/metal nano-composite. The nano-composite includes at least one copolymer chain having alkenyl monomer units and maleimide monomer units, and a nano-sized metal or inorganic crystal. It also provides a method of producing nano-sized metal/inorganic crystals in pure form. These nano-composites and nano-crystals can be useful as polymer fillers, tire rubber compounds, semiconductors, nano-magnets, catalysts, and quantum dots etc.
摘要:
A method to improve the cure properties of clay/rubber system. Clay has been exfoliated by ionic liquid surfactant and then added to rubber. The ionic liquid surfactant compatiblizes the clay and rubber and reduces gas permeability, without significantly impairing the rubber cure characteristics.
