The melt- mixed PMMA/SMA blends with a higher chain entanglement density present a lower cloud point (To) and shorter delay time, but lower phase separation rate at the given temperature than solution-cast ones, suggesting that for the polymer blends with different condensed state structure, thermodynamically more facilitation to phase separation (lower Tc) is not necessarily equivalent to faster kinetics (decomposition rate). The experimental results indicate that the lower Tc of melt-mixed sample is ascribed to smaller concentration fluctuation wavelength (Am) induced by higher entanglement degree, while higher entanglement degree in melt-mixed sample leads to a confined segmental dynamics and consequently a slower kinetics (decomposition rate) dominated by macromolecular diffusion at a comparable quench depth. These results reveal that the chain packing in polymer blends can remarkably influence the liquid-liquid phase separation behavior, which is a significant difference from decomposition of small molecular mixtures.展开更多

Here, we develop an ultrasmall nanoparticle system by using a bimodal grafting strategy to graft both short alkyl chains and long polystyrene chains onto the polyoxometalate molecular nanoparticles with a tunable repulsive potential between the nanoparticles, thus facilitating their uniform dispersion in polystyrene matrices. Linear viscoelasticity of the resultant nanocomposites changes with increasing the filler content, which shows a decrease in both plateau modulus and terminal relaxation time, indicative of a dilution effect of the nanoparticles.
