Despite its significance for sustainable materials, several key aspects of its crystallization behavior remain poorly understood. Therefore, changes in the slope of the effective activation energy (<em>E</em><sub>α</sub>) dependencies occurring during the crystallization process are highlighted. The first change appears at the initial stage of crystallization for both heating and cooling, while the second change happens at the end of crystallization. These transitions suggest a shift in the rate-limiting step of crystallization, influenced by thermodynamic or kinetic factors. At the end of the process, the crystallization rate generally decelerates due to the reduced mobility of polymer chains, causing deviations from the Hoffman-Lauritzen (HL) theory's predictions. The present study identifies temperature-specific breaks in the effective activation energy dependencies, correlating with changes in crystallization rates at 145 °C, 137 °C, and 125 °C during cooling, and 83 °C, 87 °C, and 95 °C during heating. The rigid amorphous fraction (RAF) was found to decrease to zero around 85 °C, leading to increased polymer chain mobility and reactivation of crystallization at higher temperatures. Thus, the deviations in <em>E</em><sub>α</sub> between 83-86 °C align with RAF devitrification temperatures. This agreement proves that the isoconversional kinetic analysis can lead to the prediction of the temperature range of the RAF vitrification. The combination of advanced isoconversional analysis and HL rate equation accurately predicts the maximum growth rate temperature (<em>T</em><sub>max</sub> ∼117 °C), in perfect agreement with experimental data, confirming the nonisothermal model's validity and reliability. Interpretations of the variations of <em>E</em><sub>α</sub> in terms of thermodynamic and kinetic control of the overall crystallization rate are given. 16 meaningful kinetic parameters have been optimized with success.","PeriodicalId":405,"journal":{"name":"Polymer","volume":"10 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2025-07-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144693894","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here, multi-responsive supramolecular poly(<em>N</em>-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) microgels have been synthesized with either “ultra” core-shell (via batch synthesis) or quasi homogeneous (via continuous feeding) distributions of a metallosupramolecular charged crosslinker (SC), while maintaining a constant size. The SC presents two main advantages. First, its color and its high electronic contrast allow an easy and precise quantification of both its final content and its spatial distribution in the microgel network respectively. It is found that microgels with a quasi-homogeneous SC distribution exhibit a lower swelling ratios upon decreasing the temperature and/or the salt concentration. Second, the triggered SC cleavage through chemical oxidation allows the microgel disassembly. Both the SC cleavage kinetics and the resulting microgel disassembly are faster when the initial SC distribution is quasi-homogeneous. Furthermore, the molar mass of the disassembled polymer chains can be closely correlated to the initial microgel structure. Overall, this work highlights that the microgel structure is a key parameter in understanding their behavior and optimizing their applications.","PeriodicalId":405,"journal":{"name":"Polymer","volume":"25 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2025-07-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144693794","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

HS2. The chain extension reaction in the PBAT/HS2 system is systematically characterized using rheological and gel permeation chromatography analyses, showing that the addition of HS2 significantly changes reaction kinetics because HS2 induces PBAT degradation and also actively participates in the reaction with the chain extender. Under heat, the chain extender with epoxy functional groups actively reacts with degraded PBAT molecules through thermal decomposition and microalgae incorporation, restoring PBAT, while simultaneously facilitating interfacial bridging between PBAT and HS2. As the content of the chain extender increases, the chain extension reaction leads to a more structural evolution and induces molecular branching, resulting in strong shear thinning and strain hardening behavior. The effect of chain extension improves film processing of PBAT/HS2 composites. T-die extrusion demonstrated the feasibility of film production, emphasizing the industrial applicability of the newly formulated composites. The findings underscore the crucial role of advanced rheological strategies in characterizing reactive compatibilization between biodegradable polymers and natural fillers.","PeriodicalId":405,"journal":{"name":"Polymer","volume":"115 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2025-07-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144677734","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the weak interfacial bonding between graphene oxide (GO) and the PA6 matrix aggravates phonon scattering, which in turn increases interfacial thermal resistance and limits the improvement of composite thermal conductivity. To address this issue, hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI) was employed as an interfacial modifier, and GO-HDI/PA6 composites featuring strong covalent bonding at the nanofiller/matrix interface were fabricated via anionic ring-opening polymerization. As a result, incorporating a low content of GO-HDI could significantly enhance both the thermal conductivity and tensile strength of the composites. At 2 wt% GO-HDI, the thermal conductivity of the PA6 composite increased to 0.821 W/m·K, representing a 258.5% improvement compared to neat PA6. Moreover, with only 0.2 wt% GO-HDI, the tensile strength of the composite improved by 27.9%, reaching 50.9 MPa. The outstanding thermal conductivity and mechanical performance were attributed to the uniform dispersion of the nanofillers and their strong interfacial bonding with the matrix, which were further verified by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analyses. This composite holds significant application potential in various fields that demand stringent thermal management and structural performance requirements.","PeriodicalId":405,"journal":{"name":"Polymer","volume":"115 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2025-07-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144684856","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For the first time, the different structural evolution of these thermally treated samples during heating was investigated <em>in situ</em> by synchrotron wide-angle and small-angle X-ray scattering (WAXS and SAXS) and interpreted as a function of the amorphous chain mobility at different temperatures. A structural change in the crystal lattice of the PBF crystals grown at <em>T</em><sub>c</sub> = 70 °C was detected by WAXS during heating beyond 110 °C. Coincidently, SAXS evidenced an increase in lamellar thickness during heating at temperatures close to 110 °C for all samples, regardless of their crystallization conditions. This crystal improvement could be due to the significant mobilization of the methylene sequences within the polymer chains at that limiting temperature. Thanks to less restricted and easier conformational rearrangements, the reorganization of the crystals through a melting/recrystallization mechanism could be favored. On the other hand, a different mechanism involving the rigid amorphous fraction (RAF), <em>i.e.</em> the constrained interphase located at the amorphous/crystal boundary, is proposed to explain the increase in the lamellar thickness observed at around 90 °C after crystallization at <em>T</em><sub>c</sub> = 70 °C. The temperature limit for the presence of the RAF in PBF was indeed identified at around 85-90 °C. Complete mobilization of the amorphous chains at temperatures above 90 °C could favor the rearrangements necessary to form thicker lamellae.","PeriodicalId":405,"journal":{"name":"Polymer","volume":"16 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2025-07-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144684857","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, the device-tissue interface requires bio-compatible, soft, stretchable, and conductive material. For this purpose, we fabricated conductive hydrogel (GPPgel) via in-situ interpenetrating polymerization of polyacrylic acid and polypyrrole, with dispersed gallium-indium-tin liquid metal droplets (GaInSnDs) and iron ions. In GPPgel, the interpenetrating polymer chains are crosslinked via dynamic metal coordinate bonds and hydrogen bonds in addition to π-π bonds. Thus, environmental stress would be dissipated through an energy dissipation mechanism via reversible dissociation of dynamic bonds. As a result, GPPgel displays high ductility (stretching up to 1740%), high toughness (10.8 MJm<sup>-3</sup>, G'≈ 400kPa), high tensile strength (1.85 MPa), low swelling, sufficient adhesiveness, as well as self-healing capability with electrical properties recovering 95.5% after self-healing, and elasticity with frequency-independent performance. As polypyrrole is conductive on its own, with the help of iron ions and GaInSnDs, the conductivity of GPPgel reaches 2.74 ± 0.2 S/m and linearly changes following the bending of the hydrogel, offering the capability to detect the movement of the wearer. Moreover, it features a rapid strain response time of 104 ms, and maintains stable electrical performance. These performances comprehensively meet the needs of most wearable devices, besides, all the components in GPPgel show good bio-compatibility at the applied level in the hydrogel. Collectively, GPPgel displayed broad-frequency mechanical sensing and biological adaptation characteristics and the strategy of applying liquid metal in hydrogels with an interpenetrating network holds promise for further development.","PeriodicalId":405,"journal":{"name":"Polymer","volume":"19 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2025-07-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144684853","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, a high PBAT addition (30 wt%) is typically required to achieve supertoughness of PLLA, despite extensive efforts to improve toughening efficiency. Herein, the PLLA/PBAT blends were subjected to a simple one-pot melt blending with an epoxy-functional compatibilizer (ADR) and poly(D-lactide) (PDLA). The enhanced interfacial adhesion resulting from ADR-induced reactive compatibilization, combined with the elevated melt viscosity of the PLLA matrix caused by the generation of stereocomplex (sc) crystallites through PLLA-PDLA interactions, results in a morphological transition from a sea-island to a co-continuous structure. Concurrently, sc crystallites accelerate the PLLA matrix crystallization, achieving a highly crystalline matrix after brief melt crystallization. Owing to the synergistic effects of strong interfacial adhesion, co-continuous structure and highly crystalline matrix, the toughening efficiency of PBAT is markedly enhanced. Consequently, the notched impact strength of PLLA reaches 58.9 kJ/m<sup>2</sup> with only 15 wt% PBAT. Additionally, the reduced PBAT content coupled with increased matrix crystallinity endows the blend with high tensile yield strength (57.5 MPa) and heat resistance (Vicat softening temperature up to 156.4 °C).
