Elastic Polyamide Biomaterials With Stereochemically Adjustable Mechanical Properties and Shape Memo

Biocompatible polymers are widely used in tissue engineering and biomedical devices. However, few biomaterials are suitable for long-term implant use, and these examples are usually limited in nature, may be difficult to handle, and do not respond to external stimuli.

Study On The Compatibility of PLA TPU Composites and Their Flame Retardancy

Polylactic acid (PLA) is a biodegradable polymer material with high tensile strength, but its products have poor toughness, easy fracture and poor crystallization performance. Polyurethane elastomer (TPU) has the characteristics of high toughness and low temperature resistance, and its lack of toughness can be compensated by blending with PLA.

To Explore the Effect of Morphology on Mechanical Properties of Polylactic Acid Polycaprolactone Ble

Due to the different backbone structure, most polymer blends are immiscible, resulting in an unfavorable enthalpy of mixing, resulting in spatial separation between phases. Understanding and controlling the microstructure of this phase separation usually determines the mechanical properties of the mixed polymer. To explore the effect of morphology on mechanical properties of polylactic acid/polycaprolactone blends prepared by multilayer co-extrusion.

Effects of Maleated Hemp Seed Oil (MHO) on Mechanical Properties of Polylactic Acid Infilled Thermop

Polylactic acid (PLA) is one of the most widely used bioplastics due to its biodegradability and biocompatibility, but it also has defects such as hardness and brittleness, which limit its application. Blending thermoplastic starch (TPS) with PLA is an effective solution to the hardness and brittleness of PLA, but there is also the problem of poor PLA/TPS compatibility.

Extruded Polystyrene Foams with Enhanced Insulation and Mechanical Properties by a Benzene-Trisamide

Low thermal conductivity and adequate mechanical strength are required when extruded polystyrene foams are used as insulation materials. Compared to large cell XPS foams with cell sizes greater than 100µm, small cell XPS foams with cell sizes smaller than 10µm have the same density and offer better mechanical and insulating properties due to their microcellular morphology. Therefore, most research is based on reducing the size of cells to achieve structural optimization.

A Novel Strategy to Polyurethanes with Improved Mechanical Properties by Photoactivation of Amidocou

Polyurethane (TPU) is a multifunctional material, which has a wide range of commercial applications in anticorrosive coatings, vehicles, railways, aircraft, cargo ships and other fields. In addition, other important applications for TPU are adhesives, sealants or elastomers, as these polymer systems combine excellent and attractive physicochemical properties at a competitive price. However, for some applications, such as protective coatings for body weathering, excellent mechanical properties including toughness, tensile strength, and even Young's modulus are urgently required. Therefore, improving the mechanical properties of polyurethane coatings is an important research topic.

The Electrical and Mechanical Properties of Natural Rubber Modified by Multi-walled Carbon Nanotubes

Conductive elastomer composites (CECs) have attracted extensive attention in academia and industry for decades due to their light weight, adjustable conductivity, corrosion resistance and good workability. They have been used in a variety of applications such as strain-sensing materials, electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding, antistatic shielding, electronic sensors, and stretchable conductors.

The Processability and Mechanical Properties of Polyamide 6 Were Improved by Chain Extension in Extr

Polyamide-6 (PA6) is one of the most widely used engineering thermoplastics due to its excellent overall properties. The macromolecular chain of PA6 contains many highly polar amide groups, which is easy to absorb water. In the process of high-temperature processing, a small amount of water and impurities will lead to hydrolysis.

Effects of Compatibilizer on Properties of Polylactic Acid Nanocellulose Composites

In this paper, the mechanical properties of the composites were studied by adding polylactic acid grafted maleic anhydride (PLA-g-MA) as a compatibilizer.
