Functionalization of iron oxide nanoparticles with methacrylate-based monomers for preparation of nanocomposites
Nanocomposites with a high and uniform loading of magnetic nanoparticles are very desirable for various applications. In this study, a simple and scalable route for preparing nanocomposites with a high and uniform loading of magnetic nanoparticles is prese ...
AMER INST PHYSICS2018Functional composites with damage control and repair
Fibre Reinforced Polymer (FRP) composite structures are subjected during service to low energy impacts or unexpected loads, leading to damage. Microcracks are generally first formed in the matrix and can reach up to several hundred microns in thickness. In ...
EPFL2018Thermal mending in immiscible poly(epsilon-caprolactone)/epoxy blends
Véronique Michaud, John Christopher Plummer, Amaël Maximilien Cohades, Erica Manfredi
Blends of commercial epoxy monomer with a 4,4'-diaminodiphenylsulfone hardener and poly(epsilon-caprolactone) (PCL) were evaluated for their potential as a self-healing matrix for fiber-reinforced composites, based on their room temperature toughness and s ...
Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd2016Screening method for the onset of bonding of molten polyamide resin layers to continuous fiber reinforced laminate sheets
Thermoplastic polymer composites (TPC) with multiple fabric layers of continuous fiber reinforcement are laminate sheets designed to be thermally stamped and overmolded leading to low cycle times and thus high volume composite parts. Injection over-molding ...
2016Avoiding compositional drift during the RAFT copolymerization of N-(2-hydroxypropyl)methacrylamide and N-acryloxysuccinimide: towards uniform platforms for post-polymerization modification
Harm-Anton Klok, John Moraes, Hedi Ketari, Ioana-Maria Simionca
Controlled radical polymerization techniques such as RAFT allow fine control over polymer molecular weight and architecture. These techniques, however, do not eliminate compositional drifts in copolymerizations, which are the consequence of differences in ...
Royal Society of Chemistry2015The Effect Of Processing Conditions On The Morphology, Mechanical And Electrical Properties Of Batio3-Polymer Composites
Véronique Michaud, Yves Leterrier, Sara Dalle Vacche
Ferroelectric ceramic – polymer composites have a unique mix of electrical and mechanical properties. Piezoelectric and pyroelectric activity, a wide range of dielectric constants and high breakdown strength are combined with mechanical flexibility, formab ...
2010Evaluation of pH indicator-based colorimetric films for ammonia detection using optical waveguides
Nico de Rooij, Danick Briand, Jérôme Courbat
The evaluation of colorimetric films for the detection of low concentrations of gaseous ammonia in a waveguide configuration is presented. They were composed of a pH indicator selective to NH3 embedded in a polymeric matrix and deposited on an optical wave ...
2009Measurement of the x-ray dose-dependent glass transition temperature of structured polymer films by x-ray diffraction
The glass transition temperature (Tg) of polymer nanostructures was measured using a technique based on synchrotron x-ray diffraction from periodic grating structures. Poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) nanostructures consisting of 1:1 lines:spaces with a 10 ...
2007Structure et mécanismes de microdéformation de polymethylmethacrylates renforcés au choc
Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) is used in many applications requiring good optical properties, resistance to ageing and resistance to UV irradiation, in spite of its relatively poor mechanical response to impact loading. In order to extend the range of appl ...
EPFL2007Microdeformation mechanisms in rubber toughened PMMA and PMMA-based copolymers
John Christopher Plummer, Laure Dupuits Lalande
The classical method of toughening polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) is to incorporate composite rubber particles into the homopolymer matrix. This approach has been extended in the present work by (i) combining rubber toughening with chemical modification of ...
