Maleic anhydride-grafted polybutadiene increases the molecular interaction between polyamide 66 and acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymer, helping the two plastics blend.

The effect of silver nanofillers on the properties of polystyrene
Dzunuzovic Jasna V., Jovan Nedeljkovic, Ivana Vukoje, Vesna Vodnik , Dusan K. Bozanic, June 2012

Nanocomposites resist thermal degradation better than a pure polystyrene matrix, and exhibit enhanced optical properties.

Understanding the mechanical and electrical performance of organic solar cells
Kavoos Mirabbaszadeh , Esmaeil Zaminpayma, June 2012

Molecular dynamics simulations reveal the influence of temperature, chirality, and nanotube radius on the interaction of conjugated polymers and carbon nanotubes.

Toward low-friction, low-wear polycarbonate
Eswarappa Basavaraj, Siddaramaiah, Bommulu Ramaraj, June 2012

Adding molybdenum sulphide improves the wear and scratch resistance of polycarbonate.

Carbon nanotube-reinforced epoxy composites for wind turbine blades
Donald Feke, Ica Manas-Zloczower, Marcio Loos, Jingting Yang, June 2012

Addition of a small amount of carbon nanotubes significantly improves the fatigue performance of an epoxy system.

Dispersion in nanocomposites
Frank Yepez-Castillo, Brian Grady, June 2012

Re-agglomeration of carbon nanotube fillers does not affect a polymer's mechanical properties.

Influence of surface texture on scratch behavior of molded plastics
Masaya Kotaki , Vadee Chivatanasoontorn, Shun Tsukise, June 2012

The scratch properties of surface-textured polypropylene and polycarbonate plastic can be enhanced by decreasing the distance between spherical bumps.

Understanding high -impact polystyrene blends better
Zhewen Han, Yongliang Yuan, Xiaoyun Liu, Qixin Zhuang, Zhaojun Xue, May 2012

Molecular simulation shows the effect of graft structure on the miscibility and impact resistance of polystyrene blends with polybutadiene.

Better dispersion of clay in a poly(ethylene terephthalate) matrix
Ilhan Ozen , Yusuf Z. Menceloglu, May 2012

Thermokinetic mixing reduces the size of clay particles and disperses them more homogeneously than melt extrusion.

Graphene improves polymer properties
Zhixin Cai, Xinling Wang, May 2012

A simple non-covalent method creates polyurethane/graphene nanocomposites with enhanced strength and heat resistance

Determining drug solubility in polymer by rheological methods
John Suwardie, May 2012

Using flow characterization techniques to assess drug solubility in polymer is faster and more accurate than thermal or microscopic approaches.

Toward better bone repair
Guoyuan Li, Yingjun Wang, Sa Liu, Jiangliang Wu, Li Ren, Jinyan Liu, Jin Yan Liu , Qiang Wei, May 2012

Calcium sulfate particle and whisker composites with polycaprolactone have improved mechanical properties compared with the pure polymer.

Capillary flow of low-density polyethylene
Savvas G. Hatzikiriakos, Mahmoud Ansari, Thanasis Zisis, Evan Mitsoulis, May 2012

Low-density polyethylene melts in capillary flow show large vortices and high-pressure drops due to the highly viscoelastic nature of the melt and the pressure dependence of the viscosity.

Thermal stabilization of polyacrylonitrile fibers
Ismail Karacan, May 2012

Guanidine carbonate pretreatment is effective in accelerating thermal stabilization of polyacrylonitrile precursor fiber prior to the carbonization stage.

Toward better understanding of solid-state shear pulverization
Joshua T. Clark, Katsuyuki Wakabayashi , Philip J. Brunner, John M. Torkelson, May 2012

Evaluating the processing-structure-property relationships of solid-state shear pulverization gives insight into this method for versatile industrial polymer applications.
