annealing; biodegradability; crystal structure; crystallization; glass transition temperature; mechanical properties; melting point; polylactic acid
Abstract:
... Polylactide/poly(ε-caprolactone) (PLA/PCL) is a very promising blend material with biodegradable characteristics and tailorable performance because of the good property complementarity between the two components. However, PLA and PCL are asymmetric thermodynamically: PLA has far higher melting point than PCL, and crystallization temperature of PCL is even lower than glass transition temperature of ...

Abstract:
... A rigid-flexible amphiphilic pentablock copolymer, polystyrene-block-poly(ε-caprolactone)-block-polydimethylsiloxane-block-poly(ε-caprolactone)-block-polystyrene (PS-PCL-PDMS-PCL-PS, SLDLS), was designed. SLDLS block copolymers will self-organize into “core–shell” nanostructures in epoxy thermosets, with rigid PS as the “shell” and flexible PDMS as the “core”. Due to the incorporation of the “core ...

Abstract:
... In this study, a series of platinum–cobalt bimetallic catalysts supported on mesoporous silica aerogel (SAG), referred to as PCx/SAG, x = 1–6, were prepared by facile chemical reduction and a simple, efficient microwave-assisted method using Co and Pt precursors. The structure, morphology, and chemical composition of a representative catalyst, PC3/SAG, with molar ratio of Pt : Co = 0.27 : 0.73, wa ...

Abstract:
... The carbon supported 10% Ni catalysts doped with 3‰ Rh have been prepared by an impregnation method. These catalysts have been used to catalyze the one-step hydrogenation of nitrobenzene to cyclohexylamine. The results show that the 3‰ Rh–10% Ni/CSC (biocarbon) catalyst exhibits an excellent performance to achieve 100 mol% conversion of nitrobenzene and 91.6% selectivity of cyclohexylamine under r ...

We synthesize a novel class of porphyrin dimers consisting of two zinc-metalated porphyrin units covalently linked through ethynyl (KC1) or butadiyne (KC2) group as electron donors blended with [6,6]-phenyl C₇₀ butyric acid methyl ester (PC₇₀BM) as electron acceptor for the fabrication of organic bulk heterojunction (BHJ) solar cells. The solution processed BHJ solar cells with porphyrin dimers:PC ...

Abstract:
... Recently single crystal SnSe has attracted much attention due to its unprecedented high zT (∼2.6) value, which has stimulated curiosity to study its polycrystalline counterparts by effective doping. Polycrystalline (Sn₁₋ₓGeₓ)Se specimens were prepared by melting and spark plasma sintering (SPS) to improve the thermoelectric performance and mechanical properties of pristine SnSe. This study systema ...

Abstract:
... In this study, we developed a convenient way to prepare highly compressive durable graphene aerogels (GAs) with enhanced strength by combining the freeze-casting process with the binding effect of polymers. It was revealed that poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) or poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) had no noticeable influences on the chemical reduction process of GO and the formation of the aerogel structure. Howe ...
