Physical Aging of Miscible Polymer Blends
… aging measurements were performed on various polymeric glasses with the overriding goal of developing a better molecular picture of the nonequilibrium glassy state. To this end, aging-induced changes in mechanical properties and in the thermodynamic state (volume and enthalpy) were assessed …

Toughening mechanisms in composites of miscible polymer blends with rigid filler particles
Fillers are often added to polymers improve stiffness at the cost of reduced toughness, but this tradeoff is not universal. Well-dispersed microscopic particles have been shown to improve toughness and stiffness simultaneously in some cases. The effect depends on interparticle distance as well as …

The complex behavior of poly(dte) carbonate and its blend properties
Over the years a number of different polymers have been studied for bone applications. Polyesters such as the poly lactic acids (PLA), poly glycolic acids (PGA), and their copolymers have been studied intensely for bone regeneration purposes. Poly(DTE)carbonate has been found useful for bone …

Phosphorus-Containing Polymers, Their Blends, and Hybrid Nanocomposites with Poly(Hydroxy Ether), Metal Chlorides, and Silica Colloids
Phosphorus-containing high performance polymers have been extensively studied during the last 10 years. These materials are of interest for a variety of optical and fire resistant properties, as well as for their ability to complex with the inorganic salts. This dissertation has focused on the …
