The influence of guaifenesin and ketoprofen on the properties of hot-melt extruded polyethylene oxide films.

TL;DR: Guaifenesin and ketoprofen were found to decrease drive load, increase PEO stability and plasticize the polymer during extrusion, and the Hansen solubility parameters predicted miscibility between PEO and KTP and poor miscibilitybetween PEOand GFN.

Ternary composites of polypropylene/elastomer/calcium carbonate: effect of functionalized components on phase structure and mechanical properties

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated ternary composites with two phase structures: (i) ethylene-propylene elastomer (EPR) and filler are dispersed separately in polypropylene (PP) matrix; (ii) EPR encapsulates filler particles, thus forming a low-modulus interlayer between the filler and PP.

Quaternized poly(methyl methacrylate-co-butyl acrylate-co-vinylbenzyl chloride) membrane for alkaline fuel cells

TL;DR: In this paper, a random copolymer of poly(methyl methacrylate-co-butyl acrylate co-vinylbenzyl chloride) was synthesized via Copolymerization, which was followed by quaternization and membrane casting.
