Enhanced Thermal Conductivity in Polymer Nanocomposites via Covalent Functionalization of Boron Nitride Nanotubes with Short Polyethylene Chains for Heat-Transfer Applications

TL;DR: Boron nitride, which possesses high thermal conductivity, is often incorporated into polymer matrixes for thermal management as discussed by the authors, and the enhancement in the thermal conductivities depends on the filler shape.

Effect of Modified Liquid Rubber on Increasing Toughness of Epoxy Resins

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of modified liquid rubber on increasing the robustness of epoxy resins is discussed and compared with bisphenol-A-derived resins, which are characterized by the ability to achieve high robustness, rigidity and elevated temperature performance.

Blends of polyaniline with nitrilic rubber

TL;DR: In this paper, Nitrilic rubbers containing 29 or 45% of acrylonitrile were blended with polyaniline doped with different acids, such as chloridric, dodecylbenzenesulfonic, tetrapropylbenzensulfonic and p-toluenesulfonic acids, and the volumetric conductivities and mechanical properties were evaluated.
