The results of tensile strength and shear strength measurements indicated that the successful introduction of F51 significantly improved the mechanical and adhesive properties of the PEMSC; compared with the PEMSC with 10 phr of F51 added, the tensile strength and shear strength of the PEMSC with 40 phr increased by 8.5 and 3.5 times respectively. The TGA and DTGA analysis showed that the initial thermal decomposition temperature and the residual weight of PEMSC at 800 °C decreased compared to MPS, but the temperature corresponding to the maximum thermal decomposition rate in the second stage increased.

In our previous work silane coupling agent modified, hollow glass microspheres (SiHGM) and montmorillonite (MMT) were incorporated to enhance the mechanical properties of the ESMC composites. It was found that the ESMC composites containing MMT (EP/SiHGM/MMT-1) exhibited excellent mechanical strength. However, the flammability of the epoxy resin (EP) limits the use of ESMC composites for applications that require good flame retardancy. In this paper we describe our research in which MMT was used to increase the flame retardancy of ESMC composites. The results showed that the addition of MMT made the ESMC composites have excellent flame retardancy. The limiting oxygen index (LOI) of the ESMC composites containing 1 phr MMT (EP/SiHGM/MMT-1) was 26.8%, which was 8.94% higher than that of the ESMC composites without MMT (EP/SiHGM/MMT-0). In addition, the peak heat release rate (PHRR), average heat release rate (AHRR) and total heat release (THR) of the EP/SiHGM/MMT-1 were 322.8 kW/m2, 95.3 kW/m2 and 38.6 MJ/m2, respectively, which were 22.6%, 8.2% and 8.0% lower than those of EP/SiHGM/MMT-0. The carbon monoxide production (COP) and carbon dioxide production (CO2P) of EP/SiHGM/MMT-1 were 0.0092 g/s and 0.2071 g/s, respectively, which were 34.3% and 22.8% lower than those of EP/SiHGM/MMT-0. The fire growth index (FGI) of EP/SiHGM/MMT-1 was 2.4, which was a decrease by 29.4% compared to EP/SiHGM/MMT-0. In addition, the flame retardant mechanisms were revealed. We suggest that MMT promoted dehydration and charring of the epoxy resin and helped construct an intact physical barrier, which had good blocking effects. The prepared composite has great application prospects for those occasions that require high flame retardancy. Thus, this work provides an innovative strategy for preparing low density epoxy composites with excellent flame retardancy and high mechanical properties.Keywords: MontmorilloniteEpoxy sheet molding compoundFlame retardancyBlocking effectsEvolved gas analysisFlame retardant mechanismsDisclaimerAs a service to authors and researchers we are providing this version of an accepted manuscript (AM).

Despite the immiscibility of PLA and EC, the blend film exhibited good optical transparency due to the close match in their refractive indices. A second run of differential scanning calorimetry during heating revealed a decrease in the glass transition temperature ( TgPLA) and melting point ( TmPLA) of PLA with EC although EC had the higher values. Thermomechanical analysis suggested that these decreases were due to the negative pressure generated due to the suppression of PLA shrinkage below TgEC and above TgPLA during cooling. Furthermore, ductile drawing of the blend film (70/30) at an optimal temperature of 70 °C above TgPLA resulted in a uniform whitening near 100 % strain. Delamination at the interface between the PLA matrix and EC domain led to the formation of micrometer-sized oriented voids, which enhanced the refractive index difference in the phase-separated structure, thereby scattering light and achieving the uniform and oriented white blend film.Keywords: Poly(lactic acid)Ethyl celluloseImmiscible bioplastic blendOptical transparencynegative pressureDisclaimerAs a service to authors and researchers we are providing this version of an accepted manuscript (AM).

This work used chemically modified carbon nanotubes (CNTs) as the main reinforcement material. Atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) was used to graft polyionic liquids (PILs) with different hydrophilic anions to the CNTs’ surfaces. Solution casting and compressive melt molding were used to prepare the PVDF-composite piezoelectric films. Micro-capacitance formed by the PIL grafted CNTs dispersed well in the PVDF matrix, and their effects on the crystalline form and piezoelectric properties were studied. The hydrophobic hexafluorophosphate anion (-PF6-) can significantly improve the CNTs dispersion and enhance the micro-capacitance formation in the PVDF matrix. During solution crystallization, the synergistic effect of CNTs and PIL on the PVDF and the solvent effect made the content of β phase of PVDF/CNTs@PIL-PF6 film reach 80.2%, resulting in a high dielectric constant of 188 and a piezoelectric coefficient of 36. In the process of melt crystallization, due to shear stretching and extrusion, the CNTs@PIL-PF6 had an obvious nucleation effect on the polar crystalline phase of PVDF, with a β phase content up to 99.3%, leading to the higher dielectric constant of 530 and the piezoelectric coefficient of 31. The current discovery provides a development direction for smart piezoelectric polymer matrix composites, which have great potential in preparing piezoelectric energy storage materials.KEYWORDS: poly(vinylidene fluoride)carbon nanotubespolyionic liquidpiezoelectricitydielectric propertiespolar phaseDisclaimerAs a service to authors and researchers we are providing this version of an accepted manuscript (AM).

The resulting (MIPs) and (NIPs) materials were characterized by infra-red spectroscopy (FTIR), Raman spectroscopy, polarized optical microscopy (POM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). The entire monomer consumption, as well as the successful loading and extraction of the 2,4-D molecules, were validated by FTIR and Raman analyses. POM and AFM characterization revealed that the percentage of liquid crystal influenced the distribution of the liquid crystal domains, and that the MIP films exhibited remarkable porosity. The experimental results revealed that the MIP films had a substantially higher adsorption capacity towards 2,4-D than the NIP materials, and that increasing the liquid crystal content increased the adsorption capacity of both the MIP and NIP films. The selectivity tests in the presence of phenoxyacetic acid (POAc) showed that the MIP films exhibited higher affinity for 2,4-D than for the POAc.Keywords: Imprinted polymerliquid crystalrecognition capacityselectivity factor2,4-D extractionDisclaimerAs a service to authors and researchers we are providing this version of an accepted manuscript (AM).

It was confirmed by the spectral data that hydrogen bonds and ionic bonds were formed between the CS chains and DES. Structural analysis demonstrated that the crystallization of the CS was greatly hampered and the CS chains were stacked disorderly in films with high DES content. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) results indicated that DES exerted a significant plasticizing effect. In the case of the plasticized film containing 80 wt% of DES it showed a low glass transition temperature (Tg) of 20 °C. With increasing DES content, the water content of the plasticized films also increased, evidenced by the TGA results. Meanwhile, a structural change from granular to lamellar structure was observed by SEM. In addition, compared with pure CS film, the DES plasticized CS films possessed good fracture toughness and hydrophilicity. These observations suggest that the structure and properties of the CS films can be controlled by changing their DES content.Keywords: ChitosanDeep eutectic solventhydrogen bondsplasticizing effectmechanical propertiesDisclaimerAs a service to authors and researchers we are providing this version of an accepted manuscript (AM).
