This research work aims to present systematic investigations of electrically actuated shape memory (EASM) properties at different electric voltage of epoxy polymer filled with 0.1 to 0.4 wt. % of Graphene (GO) to develop SMPs nanocomposites. EASM effect and surface morphology functional analysis of composites were observed after EASM characterization by Field Emission-Scanning Electron Microscopy (FE-SEM) and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR). 0.4 wt. % addition of GO showed highest shape recovery at 180 S, 140 S and 95 S for 40 V, 60 V and 80 V respectively. These results suggest that GO could be promising materials for electrically actuated shape memory applications.","PeriodicalId":6991,"journal":{"name":"Academic Journal of Polymer Science","volume":"14 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-05-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141205659","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The increased development of science and modern technology allows one to use a high-throughput search for novel materials that could give positive feedback in different areas of life.

The addition of clay minerals or nano-metal oxides to the polymers is to improve the polymer properties, their wide and demand characteristics or desired potential applications by producing the polymer nanocomposites.

LDPE has higher viscosity than PMVS at three temperatures, which affects the morphology and rheological response of the blends. The LDPE-rich blends have smaller dispersed droplets and longer relaxation time than the PMVS-rich blends. Higher temperature means less viscosity as well as dynamic modulus difference between the LDPE-rich blend and the PMVS-rich blend. Increasing temperature fastens relaxation of polymer samples thus relaxation time at higher temperature is shorter than that at low temperature. Phase separation can be shown at some weight ratio of PMVS/LDPE through the failure of time-temperature superposition principle and double peaks of relaxation time including the form relaxation time peak due to relaxation of dispersed droplets.","PeriodicalId":6991,"journal":{"name":"Academic Journal of Polymer Science","volume":"297 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-02-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75101718","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

On the base of theoretical Mesoscopics ideas the formation of covalent bonds because of the interference of negative charges quants in modification reactions is discussed. The hypothesis about possibility of annihilation at the interaction of positive and negative charges quants in redox processes is presented. The magnetic metal carbon mesoscopic composites synthesis (for example, initial metal carbon Mesocomposites) is realized by mechanochemical method at the grinding of metal oxides microscopic particles with polyvinyl alcohol macromolecules. Then in the result the Copper or Nickel Carbon mesocomposites which have the following atomic magnetic moments: for Copper – 1,3 μB, for Nickel – 1,8 μB are obtained. The investigations are carried out on the analysis examples of processes of Copper and Nickel Carbon mesoparticles modification by the compounds containing p, d elements. In the middle of its such substances as polyethylene polyamine, ammonium iodide, ammonium polyphosphate (APP), silica (SiO 2 ), aluminum oxide, iron oxide, nickel oxide and copper oxide are used. It’s noted that the red ox processes are accompanied by the metal atomic magnetic moments growth, that is explained by the electron shift on high energetic levels because of the annihilation phenomenon. The hypothesis concerning to the passing of two phenomena (annihilation and interference) at redox processes is proposed.","PeriodicalId":6991,"journal":{"name":"Academic Journal of Polymer Science","volume":"74 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80895381","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
