TL;DR: In this article, the structural and thermal properties of flyash filled polypropylene (PP)/polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) blend system have been determined and analyzed.
Abstract: A new type of flyash filled PP/PMMA blend has been developed. Structural and thermal properties of flyash (FA) filled polypropylene (PP)/polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) blend system have been determined and analysed. Filled polymer blends were developed on a single screw extruder. Strength and thermal properties of FA filled and unfilled PP/PMMA blends were determined. Addition of flyash imparted dimensional and thermal stability, which has been observed in scanning electron micrographs and in TGA plot. Increase of flyash concentration increased the initial degradation temperature of PP/PMMA blend. The increase of thermal stability has been explained based on increased mechanical interlocking of PP/PMMA chains inside the hollow structure of flyash.

TL;DR: In this article, two soy-based resins were synthesized at the University of Missouri-Rolla, and the effects of stoichiometry on the dynamic mechanical properties of the resulting resins are investigated.
Abstract: Two novel soy based resin systems namely Epoxidized Allyl Soyate (EAS) and Epoxidized Methyl Soyate (EMS) have been synthesized at the University of Missouri-Rolla. These resins form co-polymers with base epoxy in varied proportions to obtain a family of polymeric networks. The effects of the stoichiometry on the dynamic mechanical properties of the resulting resins were investigated. The results show that the damping ability is enhanced through the

TL;DR: In this article, a study of the reinforcement effect of a soft polymer matrix by hard nanometric filler particles is presented, where the structure of the silica filler in the matrix is studied by small angle neutron scattering (SANS), and stress-strain isotherms are measured to characterize the rheological properties of the composites.
