摘要:
A composition is provided, which comprises chains comprising a first graft copolymer of a first elastomer and a poly(L-lactic acid), and chains comprising a second graft copolymer of a second elastomer and a poly(D-lactic acid). At least some of the poly(L-lactic acid) and poly(D-lactic acid) crosslink the chains. Poly(L-lactic acid) and poly(D-lactic acid) may form stereocomplexes that crosslink the chains. The chains may be crosslinked by crystalline structures formed from at least some of the poly(L-lactic acid) and poly(D-lactic acid) in discrete regions. The crosslinked chains may form a matrix. In a method of forming the composition, the first and second graft copolymers are mixed, such as by melt blending or solution casting, to form the composition. The graft copolymers may be formed by a “grafting-though” or “grafting-from” process. The composition may be useful under a relatively wide range of temperatures.
摘要:
The brittleness of a thermoplastic material containing a polylactic acid may be reduced by melting and mixing the thermoplastic material and a graft copolymer to link the graft copolymer to thermoplastic polymer to form a new thermoplastic material with reduced brittleness. The graft copolymer comprises an elastomeric backbone and a side chain grafted to the backbone. The side chain comprises a enantiomer of lactic acid opposite to the enantiomer in the thermoplastic material. A composition comprises a thermoplastic polymer and the graft copolymer, where the graft copolymer is linked to the thermoplastic polymer by the enantiomers. A method of forming the composition may comprise melting precursors for the thermoplastic polymer and the graft copolymer, and mixing the precursors to allow the lactic acids to link the graft copolymer to the thermoplastic polymer.

A process for forming a composite film on a substrate comprises providing a suspension comprising an ionised polymer and functionalised carbon nanotubes in a solvent, at least partially immersing the substrate and a counterelectrode in the suspension, and applying a voltage between the substrate and the counterelectrode so as to form the composite film on the substrate. Electrical charges on the polymer and on the nanotubes have the same sign and the voltage is applied such that the charge on the substrate has the opposite sign to the charge on the polymer and the nanotubes.
摘要:
A copolymer for modifying rheology is formed of monomer units consisting essentially of at least one first monomer unit comprising a polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane having an ethylenically unsaturated radical; at least one second monomer unit comprising an unsaturated oligo-poly(dimethyl siloxane)(meth)acrylate; and a sufficient amount of at least one unsaturated water-soluble monomer, such that the copolymer is soluble in water. A composition may comprise an electrolyte and the copolymer. The rheology of an environment comprising an electrolyte may be modified by adding the copolymer to the environment.
摘要:
Thermoplastic nanocomposites are prepared by reactive compounding of a nanocomposite versatile masterbatch comprising a partially modified pristine clay and a reactive carrier plastics compound with a thermoplastics matrix polymer wherein the matrix polymer has a main chain directly or indirectly miscible with or reactive with said carrier plastics compound. The matrix polymer may include functional groups reactive with the carrier plastics compound to form a copolymer or a copolymer having at least one region thermodynamically miscible with said matrix polymer and at least one functional group reactive with said reactive carrier plastics compound to form a block copolymer therebetween.
摘要:
The present invention provides a branched, a dendritic, or a hyperbranched poly(amino ester) having a polymer backbone comprising a plurality of branches, wherein the polymer backbone has at least one secondary and at least one tertiary amine linkage. Branched poly(amino ester)s are prepared via a Michael addition reaction of a tris(acrylate ester)monomer with a diamine monomer. In one aspect, the diamine monomer has a primary amino group and a secondary amino group. The poly(amino ester) compounds can be end-capped by reacting with a suitable agent. The present invention also provides applications including, but are not limited to, the delivery of bioactive agents, such as drugs, DNA or RNA; or biocompatible imaging.
