Journal ArticleDOI

Synthesis and properties of poly(lactic acid).

TL;DR: In this article, a volume of poly(D,L lactic acid) was prepared by bulk polymerization of D,L lactide, both under atmospheric pressure and in vacuum.
Journal ArticleDOI

Local mechanical properties of polymeric nanocomposites

TL;DR: Simulation of local properties reveals that a glassy layer is formed in the vicinity of the attractive filler, contributing to the increased strength of the composite material and a region of negative moduli emerges around repulsive fillers, which provides a mechanism for frustration relief and a lowering of the glass transition temperature.
Journal ArticleDOI

Calculation of local mechanical properties of filled polymers.

TL;DR: It is found that dispersed, attractive nanoparticles alter the nonaffine displacement fields that arise in the polymer glass upon deformation, thereby rendering the nanocomposite glass less fragile.
Journal ArticleDOI

Characterizing the Three-Dimensional Structure of Block Copolymers via Sequential Infiltration Synthesis and Scanning Transmission Electron Tomography

TL;DR: Sequential infiltration synthesis (SIS), a block-selective technique for growing inorganic materials in BCPs films in an ALD tool, was harnessed to significantly enhance the high-angle scattering from the polar domains of BCP films in the TEM.
