Incorporation of silica into baroplastic core-shell nanoparticles
Core-shell baroplastics are nanophase materials that exhibit pressure-induced flow at low temperatures and high pressures. Core-shell baroplastics used in this work are comprised of a low Tg poly(butyl acrylate) (PBA) core and a high Tg polystyrene (PS) shell. These novel polymer systems can be …

Low temperature processing of baroplastic core-shell nanoparticles and block copolymers
Baroplastics are nanophase polymeric materials comprised of two components that can miscibilize under pressure thereby facilitating flow. The possibility of processing these materials at low temperatures was the main focus of this work. Block copolymer baroplastics comprised of a low Tg and a high …

Evaluation of the economic feasibility of core-shell baroplastic polymers and a comparison to traditional thermoplastic elastomers
Baroplastic materials are pressure miscible systems that can be molded by the application of pressure at low/room temperature. They have the potential to replace traditional thermoplastic elastomers in many applications. To quantitatively determine the competitiveness of baroplastic materials in …

The design, synthesis and properties of pressure-processable biodegradable block copolymers
… susceptibility to pressure-induced mixing. These baroplastic materials are capable of being processed and molded through the application of pressure at temperatures far below those needed in traditional melt-processing of biodegradable polyesters. Pressure molding at low temperatures reduces the …

Molecular design of ordering transitions in block copolymers
… the segmentally mixed liquid state, implying "baroplasticity", a highly attractive property from a processing standpoint. To better understand the molecular origin of this behavior, the bulk thermodynamics of a family of BCPs formed from styrene and a homologous series of n-alkyl methacrylates …
