Uneven distribution of nanoparticles in immiscible fluids: Morphology development in polymer blends
Françoise Fenouillot,Françoise Fenouillot,Françoise Fenouillot,Philippe Cassagnau,Philippe Cassagnau,Jean-Charles Majesté,Jean-Charles Majesté +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a review of the current knowledge on how solid nanoparticles organize in polymer blends is presented, focusing on the competition between thermodynamic wetting of the solid by the polymeric phases and kinetic control of the filler localization.
Journal ArticleDOI
Structuration, selective dispersion and compatibilizing effect of (nano)fillers in polymer blends
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of fillers on the phase separation of an immiscible polymer blend is discussed. And the main discussed thermodynamically controlling parameter of the localization is the wetting parameter omega(AB), however, because of the viscosity of the system, the equilibrium dictated by Omega(AB may never reach.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of nanoparticles on the morphology of immiscible polymer blends – Challenges and opportunities
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of nanoparticles on the size, shape and stability over time of the polymer phases are analyzed, including morphology refinement, coarsening, formation of irregularly shaped domains, promotion of co-continuity and morphology stabilization.

TL;DR: Compared to structural arrest by interfacial jamming, the approach avoids the necessity for neutral wetting of particles by the two phases, providing a general pathway to co-continuous micro- and nanoscopic structures.

Experimental trends in polymer nanocomposites—a review
TL;DR: A review of the recent work on polymer matrix nanocomposites is presented in this paper, where a number of composite systems with amorphous and/or crystalline polymer matrices and different nano-sized filler materials are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of melt processing conditions on the extent of exfoliation in organoclay-based nanocomposites
TL;DR: In this article, two different clay treatments were added to polyamide 6 using four different types of extruders with multiple screw designs, and the mixtures of organoclay and polyamide were characterized by X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, and mechanical property tests.
Journal ArticleDOI
Linear rheology of viscoelastic emulsions with interfacial tension
TL;DR: In this article, the average complex shear modulus of the medium accounts for the mechanical interactions between inclusions by a self consistent treatment similar to the Lorentz sphere method in electricity.
