Organic/Inorganic Hybrid Network Materials by the Sol−Gel Approach

TL;DR: A brief summary of the research activities in the field of organic/inorganic nanocomposite materials and a general background of the sol−gel chemistry are first given in this article.
Journal ArticleDOI

Electrospinning of linear homopolymers of poly(methyl methacrylate): exploring relationships between fiber formation, viscosity, molecular weight and concentration in a good solvent

TL;DR: In this article, a series of seven linear homopolymers of poly(methylmethacrylate) ranging from 12,470 to 365,700 g/mol M w, were utilized to further explore scaling relationships between viscosity and concentration in a good solvent at 25°C and investigate the impact of these relationships on fiber formation during electrospinning.
Journal ArticleDOI

Correlations of solution rheology with electrospun fiber formation of linear and branched polyesters

TL;DR: In this paper, a series of linear and branched poly(ethylene terephthalate-co-ethylene isophthalate) copolymers with weight-average molecular weights (Mw) ranging from 11,700 to 106,000 g/mol and branching index values (g) from 1.0 to 0.43 were investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Structure-property behavior of new hybrid materials incorporating oligomeric species into sol-gel glasses. 3. Effect of acid content, tetraethoxysilane content, and molecular weight of poly(dimethylsiloxane)

TL;DR: Materiau hybride ayant une bonne transparence optique and un comportement mecanique tres different de celui des verres sol-gel purs.
Journal ArticleDOI

Critical parameters in designing segmented polyurethanes and their effect on morphology and properties: A comprehensive review

TL;DR: In this paper, a comprehensive discussion is provided of the critical physical, chemical and structural parameters, such as soft and hard segment structures and their molecular weights, polymer composition, solubility parameters, competitive intermolecular interactions and others, which strongly affect the morphology and bulk and surface properties of segmented thermoplastic polyurethanes.
