The kinetics for cationic polymerization of styrene coinitiated by AlCl3 at-80 ℃ was investigated by in-situ ATR-FTIR spectroscopy.The stereospecific cationic polymerization of styrene or p-methylstyr
Carbon fiber reinforced polyimide composites have been widely used in recent years due to their unique combination of thermal and mechanical properties.
The main goal of the project is to improve effectiveness and extend service life of thermoelectric (TE) devices.TE power generation is a leading innovation in green technology.One should be able to ob
The search for alternative energy sources has encouraged the exploitation of monomers based on renewable resources for polymer synthesis.Among varieties of monomers from the renewable resources, furan
Extreme ultraviolet lithography (EUVL) is arguably the leading candidate to replace 193 nm immersion double pattering for the high volume manufacture of semiconductor devices at the 32 nm node and bel
Starch polymers represent a promising substitute for traditional synthetic polymers due to its low cost, wide availability, and total compostability without toxic residues.
As one of the most widely used plastics, polyethylene (PE) possesses outstanding properties as well as some inherent drawbacks.Many efforts, taking advantage of the developments of coordination cataly
Knowledge and understanding on the nature and mechanics of interface between the carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and polymer are critical to predict and prepare mechanically enhanced CNT/polymer nanocomposite
Heterophasic copolymers of polypropylene (PP) containing dispersed ethylene-propylene random copolymers (EPR), known as impact PP copolymers (IPC), are an important sub-class of PP that are superior t
Alongside aliphatic polyesters, aliphatic polycarbonates are important biodegradable materials that have aroused great concern from both scientific community and industrial field, because of increasin
