[17] developed a new and effective strategy for compatibilizing immiscible polymer nanocomposites of polyethylene/PS/GO by a combination of solution intercalation and a melt-mixing method.
The XERAN portfolio opens a window to new polymer systems that need compatibilisation, as XERAN improves the adhesion between two polymers which are normally immiscible. Additionally, it optimises the interfacial tension and offers stabilization of the morphology against high stresses during conversion.
Nitto Denko Corporation has been granted a patent for a water-dispersed pressure-sensitive adhesive composition comprised of a (meth)acrylic polymer, a latex containing a rubber component, and a tackifier: the (meth)acrylic polymer is obtained by polymerizing a monomer composition comprised of as a primary component an alkyl (meth) acrylate having an alkyl group with 1 to 18 carbon atoms; the rubber component is immiscible with the (meth)acrylic polymer and has a loss tangent peak temperature of--5[degrees] C or below when determined by a dynamic viscoelastic measurement in which shear strain is applied at a frequency of 1 Hz; and the tackifier is miscible with the rubber component, but immiscible with the (meth) acrylic polymer.
Because a liquid film is smooth and truly defect-free on the molecular level, it can immediately heal itself by wicking, can withstand high pressure, and can repel immiscible liquids.
He covers puzzles of physics, the meaning of dimensions, time as an illusion, the nature of matter, whether science and religion are immiscible, and weaving the weft.
Fractionation of the crude material was attempted by partition between immiscible solvents or by alternative extraction of the residue with common solvents.
