We employ a partly new experimental approach to polymer nanocomposites (PNCs) based on a semi crystalline matrix, in order to distinguish between phenomena affiliated, on the one hand, to interactions between polymer and nanoparticles, and, on the other hand, to polymer crystals. Thus, effects of silica nanoparticles and of crystalline fraction (CF) on glass transition and segmental dynamics in poly (L lactic acid) were investigated by means of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and broadband dielectric relaxation spectroscopy (DRS). Analysis of results involves combination of measurements on initially amorphous and on semicrystalline (annealed) samples. No change in the glass transition temperature by the filler is observed by DSC, whereas the heat capacity step decreases in the PNCs. The segmental a relaxation (dynamic glass transition) in DRS becomes, however, faster and weaker in the PNCs. Results are rationalized in terms of the rigid amorphous fraction (RAF) due to filler (interfacial polymer, RAF(filler)) and due to polymer crystals (RAF(crystal)). RAFfiller and RAFcrystai were disentangled from the total RAF via two assumptions: (a) assuming the same RAF(aystai) to CF ratio in the neat matrix and the PNCs, and (b) assuming the same RAF(filler) in amorphous and semicrystalline samples. Changes of the various polymer fractions with composition show similar trends in DSC and DRS. RAF(filler) was found to increase with filler fraction, with a saturation for the largest loading (20 wt%), assigned to filler aggregation confirmed by morphological characterization. Both RAF(crystal) and mobile amorphous fraction, MAF, were found within experimental error almost constant with filler loading. The overall results suggest that interfacial interactions (RAF(filler)) in combination with changes in semicrystalline morphology dominate polymer dynamics in semicrystalline PNCs.

Summary: In this study, FeCl3 and poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) were doped into waterborne polyurethanes (WPUs) to create multifunctional materials with self-healing and antimicrobial properties. WPU/Fe/PAA-5.5, containing 5.5 wt % PAA, exhibited excellent mechanical properties, strong self-healing capabilities, and an impressive antimicrobial rate of over 90%. These supramolecular films were also highly recyclable through hot-pressing.

Molecular dynamics simulations of several linear homopolymers: Assessment and comparison of shock properties
Claire A. Lemarchand
Summary: This study investigates the shock behavior of three different polymers through molecular dynamics simulations. The results reveal specificities in the shock behavior of polymers, including deviations from the linear relation between shock velocity and particle velocity, as well as differences in shear stress relaxation behind the shock front. It is found that the deviation of the Hugoniot locus is related to the change in the relative contribution of bonding and non-bonding potential energies, while polymers with higher glass transition temperatures exhibit slower shear stress relaxation.

Efficient self-reinforcement technology and mechanism for ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene based on powder solid-state extension
Zengquan Liu, Xiaochun Yin, He Zhang, Shuo Gao, Qinglin Kuang, Yanhong Feng
Summary: A powder solid-state extension (PSSE) technology was proposed to address the high melt viscosity issue of UHMWPE. By uniaxial extension and sintering in the solid state, a highly self-reinforced material was prepared. X-ray diffraction and scattering techniques were used to study the structural evolution during the PSSE process, and a solid-phase induced transformation model was established.

Preparation of ionic liquid@SiO2 nanocapsules for improving self-lubricating performance of PA6 composites
Zhike Li, Anyu Luo, Rui Zhou, Xin Li, Haiyan Li
Summary: A novel high temperature resistance IL@SiO2 nanocapsules were successfully prepared and their friction and wear properties in PA6 composites were studied. The addition of IL@SiO2 nanocapsules reduced the friction coefficient and wear rate without affecting the mechanical properties of PA6. The synergy between the IL core and SiO2 wall in the nanocapsules improved the self-lubricating performance of the PA6 composites.

Understanding leaching of amylopectin from cellulose/amylopectin/ [Bmim][Cl] blends during regeneration from water and aqueous ethanol using molecular dynamic simulations
Alex Kwasi Kumi, Ruiling Fan, Ye Chen, Yumei Zhang
Summary: The difference in leaching of amylopectin from cellulose/amylopectin/1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride ([Bmim][Cl]) blends during regeneration in water and aqueous ethanol has been studied. Molecular dynamics simulations showed that the dissolution and regeneration mechanisms of amylopectin in [Bmim][Cl] are similar to cellulose in ionic liquids. Water regeneration leads to weak electrostatic interactions, resulting in high leaching of amylopectin. In contrast, ethanol-water interactions enhance electrostatic interactions among amylopectin chains, limiting amylopectin leaching in aqueous ethanol.

Synergetic effect of microfluidic flow and ultrasonication on chains pre-ordering in conjugated polymer solution
Zhaoyang Chu, Qing Zhang, Haihua Luo, Han Zhou, Fapei Zhang, Wei Chen, Wenhua Zhang
Summary: Multi-physical fields solution processing strategy is a universal and facile method for preparing various conjugated polymer films and high-performance devices. In this study, we employed a combined microfluidic flow and ultrasonication strategy (FU) for processing CP solutions, and found a pronounced synergetic effect in promoting the pre-ordering of chains in solution. The conformation order and anisotropy of the solution were revealed through various characterizations. A non-classical nucleation model for polymer crystallization in non-equilibrium solution processing was confirmed. The roles of microfluidic flow and ultrasonication in chain aggregation and crystallization were addressed through multi-physical simulations. Compared to pristine solutions, the FU strategy showed improved solution anisotropy and crystallization kinetics, resulting in higher crystallinity in films and increased mobilities in OFET devices. The FU processing strategy provides a universal approach for regulating chain conformation and aggregation in conjugated polymer solutions.
