TL;DR: In this paper, the in situ grafting-from approach via atom transfer radical polymerization was successfully applied to polystyrene, poly(styrene-co-acrylonitrile), and polyacrylanitrile grafted onto the convex surfaces of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) with (2-hydroxyethyl 2-bromoisobyrate) as an initiator.
Abstract: The in situ grafting-from approach via atom transfer radical polymerization was successfully applied to polystyrene, poly(styrene-co-acrylonitrile), and polyacrylonitrile grafted onto the convex surfaces of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) with (2-hydroxyethyl 2-bromoisobutyrate) as an initiator. Thermogravimetric analysis showed that effective functionalization was achieved with the grafting approach. The grafted polymers on the MWCNT surface were characterized and confirmed with Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and nuclear magnetic resonance. Raman and near-infrared spectroscopy revealed that the grafting of polystyrene, poly(styrene-co-acrylonitrile), and polyacrylonitrile slightly affected the sidewall structures. Field emission scanning electron microscopy showed that the carbon nanotube surface became rough because of the grafting of the polymers. Differential scanning calorimetry results indicated that the polymers grafted onto MWCNTs showed higher glass-transition temperatures. The polymer-grafted MWCNTs exhibited relatively good dispersibility in an organic solvent such as tetrahydrofuran.

TL;DR: In this paper, poly(vinyl butyral) (PVB) was introduced as the second polymer component to hydrophilized PVC ultrafiltration membranes, and the results showed that the PVC/PVB blended system was partially miscible at a certain proportion range.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the miscibility or complexation of poly(styrene-co-acrylic acid) containing 27 mol % of acrylic acid (SAA-27) and poly(n-dimethylacrylamide (SAD-17, SAD-32) or poly(N,N-dimethylamide) (PDMA) were investigated by different techniques.
Abstract: The miscibility or complexation of poly(styrene-co-acrylic acid) containing 27 mol % of acrylic acid (SAA-27) and poly(styrene-co-N,N-dimethylacrylamide) containing 17 or 32 mol % of N,N-dimethylacrylamide (SAD-17, SAD-32) or poly(N,N-dimethylacrylamide) (PDMA) were investigated by different techniques. The differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) analysis showed that a single glass-transition temperature was observed for all the mixtures prepared from tetrahydrofuran (THF) or butan-2-one. This is an evidence of their miscibility or complexation over the entire composition range. As the content of the basic constituent increases as within SAA-27/SAD-32 and SAA-27/PDMA, higher number of specific interpolymer interactins occurred and led to the formation of interpolymer complexes in butan-2-one. The qualitative Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy study carried out for SAA-27/SAD-17 blends revealed that hydrogen bonding occurred between the hydroxyl groups of SAA-27 and the carbonyl amide of SAD-17. Quantitative analysis carried out in the 160–210°C temperature range for the SAA-27 copolymer and its blends of different ratios using the Painter–Coleman association model led to the estimation of the equilibrium constants K2, KA and the enthalpies of hydrogen bond formation. These blends are miscible even at 180°C as confirmed from the negative values of the total free energy of mixing ΔGM over the entire blend composition. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

TL;DR: In this paper, the thermal behavior of binary mixtures of poly(styrene-co -methacrylic acid) containing 12 or 29.5 µmol.% of 4-vinylpyridine (IBM4VP-20) as blends or interpolymer complexes were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry, thermogravimetry and FTIR spectroscopy.
