Journal ArticleDOI
Perfectly alternating copolymer of lactic acid and ethylene oxide as a plasticizing agent for polylactide
TL;DR: In this article, a ring-opening polymerization of 3-methyl-1,4-dioxan-2-one (MDO) mediated by a catalytic system composed of Y[N(TMS)2]3 and benzyl alcohol (BnOH) led to a new polymer (PMDO) comprised of perfectly alternating lactic acid and ethylene oxide repeat units.
Journal ArticleDOI
Confined Crystallization and Morphology of Melt Segregated PLLA-b-PE and PLDA-b-PE Diblock Copolymers
Reina Verónica Castillo,Alejandro J. Müller,Ming-Champ Lin,Hsin-Lung Chen,U-Ser Jeng,Marc A. Hillmyer +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the crystallization behavior of strongly segregated diblock copolymers composed of polyethylene (PE) and poly(l-lactide) or racemic poly (lactides) (PLA) blocks has been investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), wideangle Xray scattering, and transmission electron microscopy (TEM).
Journal ArticleDOI
Reactive Compatibilization of Polylactide/Polypropylene Blends
Yuewen Xu,Jesse Loi,Paula Delgado,Vasily A. Topolkaraev,Ryan J. Mceneany,Christopher W. Macosko,Marc A. Hillmyer +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, an ethylene-glycidyl methacrylate-methyl acrylate terpolymer (PEGMMA, Lotader) was utilized as compatibilizer through coupling to the end groups of PLA.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nanoporous linear polyethylene from a block polymer precursor.
TL;DR: The synthesis of block polymers containing polylactide (PLA) and perfectly linear polyethylene (LPE) as the matrix phase using a combination of ring-opening polymerizations is described to allow for ready tailoring of porosity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Conformational Asymmetry and Quasicrystal Approximants in Linear Diblock Copolymers
Morgan W. Schulze,Ronald M. Lewis,James H. Lettow,Robert J. Hickey,Timothy M. Gillard,Marc A. Hillmyer,Frank S. Bates +6 more
TL;DR: Small angle x-ray scattering experiments on three model low molar mass diblock copolymer systems containing minority polylactide and majority hydrocarbon blocks demonstrate that conformational asymmetry stabilizes the Frank-Kasper σ phase.
