Book ChapterDOI
Self-Nucleation of Crystalline Phases Within Homopolymers, Polymer Blends, Copolymers, and Nanocomposites
Rose Mary Michell,Agurtzane Mugica,Manuela Zubitur,Alejandro J. Müller,Alejandro J. Müller,Alejandro J. Müller +5 more
TL;DR: Self-nucleation (SN) as discussed by the authors is a special nucleation process triggered by self-seeds or selfnuclei that are generated in a given polymeric material by specific thermal protocols or by inducing chain orientation in the molten or partially molten state.
Journal ArticleDOI
How Composition Determines the Properties of Isodimorphic Poly(butylene succinate-ran-butylene azelate) Random Biobased Copolymers: From Single to Double Crystalline Random Copolymers
Idoia Arandia,Agurtzane Mugica,Manuela Zubitur,Arantxa Arbe,Guoming Liu,Dujin Wang,Rosica Mincheva,Philippe Dubois,Alejandro J. Müller,Alejandro J. Müller +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the structure, morphology, and thermal properties of biobased and biodegradable poly(butylene succinate-ran-butylene azelate) random copolyesters with a wide composition range were studied.
Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of Chain Topology (Cyclic versus Linear) on the Nucleation and Isothermal Crystallization of Poly(l-lactide) and Poly(d-lactide)
Nerea Zaldua,Romain Liénard,Thomas Josse,Manuela Zubitur,Agurtzane Mugica,Amaia Iturrospe,Arantxa Arbe,Julien De Winter,Olivier Coulembier,Alejandro J. Müller +9 more
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of stereochemistry of the polymer chains and their topology on their structure, nucleation, and crystallization were studied in detail employing wide-angle X-ray scattering (WAXS), small-angle x-ray scatter (SAXS) and standard and advanced differential scanning calorimetry (DSC).
Journal ArticleDOI
Flexible polyurethane foam nanocomposites with modified layered double hydroxides
Sandra Gómez-Fernández,Lorena Ugarte,Cristina Peña-Rodriguez,Manuela Zubitur,M. Angeles Corcuera,Arantxa Eceiza +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a carbonate intercalated Mg/Al layered double hydroxide (LDH-CO3) was subjected to a calcination-rehydration treatment in order to intercalate two different phosphorus containing anions (HPO4−−2 and bis(2-ethylhexyl) phosphate, HDEHP−) into the hydroxides layers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Factors affecting kinetics and coagulum formation during the emulsion copolymerization of styrene/butyl acrylate
Manuela Zubitur,J. M. Asua +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of the agitation rate, feeding time, initiation rate and latex viscosity on coagulum formation in the emulsion copolymerization of styrene and butyl acrylate under industrial-like conditions was investigated.
