Polymer Interface and Adhesion
TL;DR: In this paper, the surface tension and surface tension of polymers were calculated from contact angles by the Harmonic-Mean and Geometric-means methods. But the results of the analysis of the contact angles were limited.
Journal ArticleDOI
Poly(lactic acid) modifications
TL;DR: In this article, the advantages, limitations, production methods, and applications of unmodified poly(lactic acid) or polylactide (PLA) are discussed, as well as various bulk and surface modification strategies used to date.

Dispersion phenomena in high viscosity immiscible fluid systems and application of static mixers as dispersion devices in such systems
TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss the role of statics in high-viscosity IMMISCIBLE FLUID systems and the application of mixers as disphers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Poly(lactic acid) crystallization
TL;DR: An overview of the current understanding on the fundamentals of PLA crystallization in quiescent conditions and on the practical means to enhance its rate can be found in this paper, where the most promising efforts in enhancing PLA crystallisation kinetics through plasticization or heterogeneous nucleation are reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dispersion of fillers and the electrical conductivity of polymer blends filled with carbon black
TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied the electrical conductivity of carbon black (CB) filled polymer blends and found that CB distribution is unevenly distributed in each component of the polymer blend, and that the filler distribution concentrates at interface of two polymers.
