Introduction Over the last decade, polymer-layered silicate nanocomposites (PLSNs) with nano-scale reinforcements have been the focus of extensive study. Incorporation of the organo-layered silicates into the polymers results in enhanced mechanical strength, improved thermal stability and flame retardancy, increased solvent resistance and barrier properties, higher ionic conductivity, reduced thermal expansion coefficient, and controlled biodegradability. Dispersivity of the clay particles plays the pivotal role to influence the ultimate properties of the PLSNs. For a typical polymer, the key factors of the clay dispersion are the method of synthesis, structure of the intercalant (generally onium NCKU-PRL surfactants) and concentration of clay.

Conclusions The s. PS molecules were successfully intercalated into the organo-clay galleries. TEM analysis

Conclusions The s. PS molecules were successfully intercalated into the organo-clay galleries. TEM analysis revealed a mixed morphology of an intercalated/exfoliated structure in the s. PS/clay nanocomposites. A significant alteration of the polymorphism in the s. PS matrix was observed by the inclusion of different nano-layered clays. The temperature regime of the -crystal formation in s. PS was found to expand considerably and the organo-clays favored the formation of -phase in addition to the -phase, even at high Tc of 250 C. Pristine clay (Na-MMT) was dispersed in the s. PS matrix more coarsely with aggregated structures, behaved differently in its nucleating action and only larger spherulites of form of s. PS crystals were induced to grow at all the available Tc’s. the clay dispersibility in the s. PS matrix is assumed to play a pivotal role in altering the crystalline structures. The inclusion of the organo-clay with nano-scale dispersibility promoted the rapid formation of -forms, which developed spherulites of smaller dimension as compared the -forms. However, the proportion of -phase was decreased with higher loading (> 5 -wt%) of organo-clay due to poor dispersion. The peak 2 (P 2) for melt-crystallized s. PS in DSC analysis was further confirmed to correspond to the -phase, as it was almost absent in the s. PS/Na-MMT composites. Nation Cheng Kung Univ. NCKU-PRL Polym. Res. Lab.

Introduction • Polymorphic structure of Poly(butylene adipate)(PBA) was reported by Minke and Blackwell in 1979. They have identified two types of polymorphic crystals exhibited in crystalline PBA samples. a-from crystal was characterized as a monoclinic unit cell, and -form was packed as an orthorhombicunit cell. • For PBA, in the previous paper, it was indicated that the formation of a- and -form crystal was dependent on the melt crystallization temperatures. • In this study, we attempted to explore the relationships between the polymorphic crystals and the multiple melting peaks.

Conclusion • The formation of -form crystal can be favored in the crystallization of PBA under these two conditions: (1) slow cooling from the molten state, (2) melt crystallization at high temperatures. • The -form crystal can be formed under these two conditions: (1) melt crystallization at lower temperatures, (2) at fast cooling rates from the melt. • The -form crystal which was heated to melt produced two endothermic peaks (P 1 and P 3). P 2 and P 4 appeared when -from crystal was melted. As - and -form crystals coexisted, the melting behaviors for the crystals showed four peaks (P 1 -P 4) on the DSC trace. Nation Cheng Kung Univ.

Conclusion In this ternary blend of PVAc/PVPh/PMMA where PVPh is miscible with each of the other component, more than 50 wt% PVPh was required to cause miscibility between PVAc and PMMA. Phase boundary of LPVAc/PVPh/LPMMA ternary blend investigated by DSC shows that miscibility window was increased obviously. Furthermor the Tg value of LPVAc/PVPh/LPMMA was less than PVAc/PVPh/PMMA system. Blend prepared by cyclohexanone solvent casting and co-precipitated (MEK-hexane) were found to be immiscible.

L solvent to obtain clear solution mixtures at room temperature; then mixtures were cast at 45°C onto hot stage for 24 hr. The solution-cast films were dried for a week in 40°C vacuum oven.
