Abstract:
The present disclosure provides a copper nanowire composition. The copper nanowire composition includes copper nanowire having associated ligands with the structure HNR1R2, where R1 is hydrogen, alkyl group, or arylalkyl group, R2 is alkyl group or arylalkyl group, wherein the associated ligand has an amount of 100 wt % to 10000 wt % versus a weight of the copper nanowire.
Abstract:
A method of manufacturing a nanocomposite having a continuous organic phase and oligomer-modified nanoplatelet mesomorphic structures, wherein the oligomer has a molecular weight of at least 100 g/mol.
Abstract:
A resin composition is provided. The resin composition includes a rigid polymer resin, a functionalized polyrotaxane, and (optionally) a core-shell polymer. The resin composition may be cured to form a cured thermoset resin. The cured thermoset set has improved mechanical properties relative to a reference cured thermoset. A method of preparing a cured article of the curable resin composition is also provided. The method includes providing the curable resin composition and curing the curable composition.

Abstract:
A coating composition and coating products made therefrom, containing modified inorganic nanoplatelets that form mesomorphic structure in a resin phase. The coating products exhibit low permeation/penetration properties, and can be used as anti-corrosion or barrier coatings.
Abstract:
A composition includes a thermoplastic polymer and a polyrotaxane. The polyrotaxane includes a plurality of cyclic molecules and a chain polymer passing through the plurality of the cyclic molecules in a skewering manner, at least a part of the hydroxyl groups of the plurality of cyclic molecules being substituted with a hydrophobic group. A group that enhances miscibility of the polyrotaxane to the thermoplastic polymeris bound to at least a part of the hydrophobic groups of each of the plurality of cyclic molecules.
Abstract:
Compositions comprising a poly(aryl ether ketone) (PAEK) having a carbon-based nanomaterial dispersed therein, wherein the composition includes at least 1 weight percent carbon-based nanomaterial based on the total weight of the composition, products that include the compositions, and methods for making the compositions and products.
Abstract:
Exfoliated nanoplatelets functionalized with a non-polar moiety, such as an ethylene or propylene derived polymer, are useful for forming composites, films, and polymer blends.
