Effect of surfactant alkyl chain length on the dispersion, and thermal and dynamic mechanical properties of LDPE/organo-LDH composites

“…It was observed that, depending on the size of the surfactant alkyl chain, different degrees of polymer chain intercalation were achieved, which is a function of the interlayer distance of the organo-LDHs, of the packing level of the alkyl chains, and of the different interaction levels between the surfactant and the polymer chains. …”

Optical and rheological studies on weak gel-sol transition in aqueous solutions of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide)-block-polystyrene by S. Sanjeevi Prasath, J. Brijitta, B. V. R. Tata, R. G. Joshi, K. Chennakesavulu, D. K. Gupta

“…The optical and rheological properties of aqueous solutions of block copolymer composed of low molecular weight poly(N-isopropylacrylamide)-b-polystyrene are studied as a function of temperature. From light scattering measurements the block copolymer solution is found to form micelles at very low concentrations and the critical micellar concentration is identified as 0.005 wt%. …”

Lithium-salt-free polyoxovanadates/cellulose acetate-poly(ethylene glycol) nanocomposite solid electrolytes with enhanced electrochemical properties by Elmira Kohan, Roushan Khoshnavazi, Mir Ghasem Hosseini, Abdollah Salimi, Mehdi Salami-Kalajahi

“…Polyoxovanadate Li7[V15O36(CO3)] (LVC) possesses a high diffusion coefficient which acts as lithium salt. The dual function role of polyoxovanadates in the diffusion of Li+ cations and reducing the crystallinity of polymer leads to high ion conductivity of 4.1 × 10−4 S cm−1 at room temperature. …”
