Summary: This study investigated the phase transitions of blends comprising PS-b-PEO and PS-b-PAA. The hydrogen-bonding interaction between PEO and PAA played a key role in the microphase separation and transition behaviors. Increasing temperature weakened the hydrogen bonds and induced macrophase separation and order-to-disorder transitions. However, the repulsive interactions between PEO and PAA prevented the formation of an isotropic phase.

Summary: Through computational study using field-theoretic simulations, we found that high-density confinement in nanoparticle packings can induce the miscibility of polymer blends. This forced mixing mechanism is due to the increased entropic penalty upon phase separation and the reduction in polymer-polymer contacts near the confinement boundaries.

Summary: Mechanical alloying with high-energy ball milling is used to prepare high-entropy alloy (HEA) matrix nanocomposite powders with tungsten carbide (WC) particles. The repeated plastic deformation, fracture, and cold welding of the HEA powder result in the transformation from a body-centered cubic (BCC) phase to a face-centered cubic (FCC) phase and the gradual dispersion of WC microfine powder in the HEA matrix. The final product is a biphasic HEA-matrix WC nanocomposite spherical powder.

Summary: Thermal percolation, the rapid increase in thermal transport in polymer nanocomposites, is of great interest in thermal management. However, it remains a challenging subject in both experimental and modeling aspects. Previous studies on thermal percolation have mainly focused on high-aspect-ratio, conductive fillers. This study demonstrates that thermal percolation can be achieved even with nonconductive spherical fillers at a low volume fraction. Additionally, the effects of volume fraction, interfacial thermal resistance, and filler conductivity on thermal conductivity are found to deviate from effective medium approximations.

Summary: This study investigates the relationship between the morphology of PMMA monopolymers and PMMA-PHEMA copolymers with the expected nature of surfactant-free microemulsions (SFMEs) before polymerization. It is found that previously mesostructured, surfactant-free mixtures can produce porous polymers of different morphologies, while unstructured, oil-rich regions lead to solid, transparent polymers without nanostructured morphologies. Additionally, a surfactant-based reference system shows similar phase behavior and polymer morphologies as the comparable surfactant-free system, indicating the importance of the hydrotropic behavior of HEMA in this system.
