Semiaromatic Polyamides and Copolyamides Comprising Kinked Repeating Units

Julien Philippe Cretenoud

The replacement of metals with polymer-based materials is considered to be key to reducing weight, cost, and cycle times in different technological applications, including the automotive and aerospace industries. Semiaromatic polyamides are particularly at ...

The Shape of a Stretched Polymer

Paolo De Los Rios, Salvatore Assenza, Alberto Stefano Sassi

The shape of a polymer plays an important role in determining its interactions with other molecules and with the environment, and is in turn affected by both of them. As a consequence, in the literature the shape properties of a chain in many different con ...

The shape of a polymer plays an important role in its interactions with surrounding molecules. We characterize the shape and the orientational properties of a polymer chain under tension in a good solvent, a physical condition that is often realized both i ...

American Physical Society2017

Surface-initiated polymerizations represent a versatile toolbox to generate densely grafted assemblies of chain end-tethered polymers. At sufficiently short interchain distances, surface-grafted polymers are forced into an extended chain conformation, whic ...

Structure and rheology of star polymers in confined geometries: a mesoscopic simulation study

Dominic John Tildesley

Mesoscopic simulations of star polymer melts adsorbed onto solid surfaces are performed using the dissipative particle dynamics (DPD) method. A set of parameters is developed to study the low functionality star polymers under shear. The use of a new bond-a ...

Light absorption in 1D and 2D nanostructured organic semiconductors

Damien Rolland

Organic photovoltaics will be one of the corner stones in solving the increasing world's energy demand issue. For this reason, a better understanding of the detailed mechanisms involved in energy conversion in the employed nanostructured materials is still ...

Synthesis and Functionalization of Silver Nanoparticles for the Preparation of High Permittivity Nanocomposites

Jose Enrico Quijano Quinsaat

Over the last decade, a growing interest in nanochemistry has emerged due to the interesting features of nanomaterials that vary with size, shape and surface structure. In particular, metal nanoparticles have received much attention due to their properties ...

Stress reduction mechanisms during photopolymerization of functionally graded polymer nanocomposite coatings

Véronique Michaud, Yves Leterrier, Tommaso Nardi, Florian Dujonc, Michael Hausmann

From the experimental analysis of the photocuring process in terms of reaction kinetics as well as modulus and shrinkage build-up, the residual stresses arising during the photopolymerization of functionally graded composite coatings based on an acrylate m ...
