Superabsorbent hydrogel compositesPolymers for Advanced Technologies - Tập 14 Số 6 - Trang 438-444 - 2003
Kourosh Kabiri, M. J. Zohuriaan‐Mehr
AbstractA new cost‐effective approach to enhance gel strength of superabsorbent hydrogels was invented. Superabsorbent hydrogel composites (SHCs) were prepared through an optimized rapid solution polymerization of concentrated partially neutralized acrylic acid in the presence of a crosslinking agent under normal atmospheric conditions. Kaolin was used as an inorga...... hiện toàn bộ
Layer‐by‐layer deposition of antimicrobial polymers on cellulosic fibers: a new strategy to develop bioactive textilesPolymers for Advanced Technologies - Tập 24 Số 11 - Trang 1005-1010 - 2013
Ana P. Gomes, João F. Mano, João A. Queiroz, Isabel C. Gouveia
In recent years, there has been an increase of infectious diseases caused by different microorganisms and the development of antibiotic resistance. In this way, the search for new and efficient antibacterial materials is imperative. The main polysaccharides currently used in the biomedical and pharmaceutical domains are chitin and its derivative chitosan (CH) and alginates (ALG). In this s...... hiện toàn bộ
Flame retardant epoxy composites with epoxy‐containing polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanesPolymers for Advanced Technologies - Tập 31 Số 9 - Trang 2058-2074 - 2020
Leichun Liu, Wenchao Zhang, Rongjie Yang
A kind of polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanes (POSS) containing the propoxyl‐epoxy and phenyl groups (pr‐ep‐Ph‐POSS) was synthesized via hydrolytic condensation reaction. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, and matrix‐assisted laser desorption/ionization time‐of‐flight mass spectrometry identified the structure of the pr‐ep‐Ph‐POSS, in...... hiện toàn bộ
Enhancement of a hyperbranched charring and foaming agent on flame retardancy of polyamide 6Polymers for Advanced Technologies - Tập 22 Số 12 - Trang 2237-2243 - 2011
Chenhao Ke, Juan Li, Keyi Fang, Qingzeng Zhu, Jin Zhu, Yan Qing
AbstractA hyperbranched polyamine was prepared using an A2 + B3 approach. It acted as a hyperbranched charring and foaming agent (HCFA) in combination with ammonium polyphosphate (APP) to form a new intumescent flame retardant (IFR) system for polyamide 6 (PA6). Effect of HCFA on flame retardant and thermal degradation prop...... hiện toàn bộ
Super‐high fraction of organic montmorillonite filled polyamide 6 composite foam: Morphologies, thermal and mechanical propertiesPolymers for Advanced Technologies - Tập 32 Số 2 - Trang 544-552 - 2021
Liang Wang, Wei Zhao, J. W. Zhao, Wen Qiao, Guocheng Zhu, Zhaopeng Xia, Yong Liu
High fraction of inorganic compounds filled polymer composites with lightweight character show a potential application on building and transportation. In this study, super‐high fraction of organic montmorillonite (OMMT>30%) filled Polyamide 6 (PA6) foams were prepared via a solution foaming. The influence of OMMT content on structures and properties of foams was studied. When the OMMT c...... hiện toàn bộ
Effect of conjugated linoleic acid grafting on the hemocompatibility of polyacrylonitrile membranePolymers for Advanced Technologies - Tập 17 Số 6 - Trang 419-425 - 2006
Fu‐Chen Kung, Ming‐Chien Yang
AbstractPolyacrylonitrile (PAN) membrane was hydrolyzed with NaOH(aq) and grafted with conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) via esterification with 1,3‐propanediol. The resulting CLA grafted PAN membranes were characterized using Fourier transform infrared spectrometry (FT‐IR) and X‐ray photoelectronic spectroscopy (XPS). The effects of CLA grafting ...... hiện toàn bộ
A study on the micro‐injection molding of multi‐cavity ultra‐thin partsPolymers for Advanced Technologies - Tập 22 Số 6 - Trang 891-902 - 2011
S.‐Y. Yang, Shih‐Chih Nian, S.‐T. Huang, Yung-Jin Weng
AbstractIn this study, we report the micro‐injection molding of ultra‐thin parts (100, 250, and 500 µm). The results show that the flow resistance increases as the cavity becomes thinner. The melt front is not symmetric when filling a four‐cavity ultra‐thin part and filling the eight‐cavity mold under a low temperature. If we increase the mold temperature or cavity...... hiện toàn bộ
