Core–shell nanoparticle–plasticizers for design of high
Core–shell nanoparticle –plasticizers were synthesized and blended with PVC in an attempt to simultaneously improve the toughness and stiffness of the resulting materials. Halloysite, kaolin and silicon dioxide nanofillers, representing acicular, layered and spherical morphologies, were surface-grafted with poly (butylene adipate) (PBA).
Nanoparticle-Anchored Plasticizers - US EPA
Plasticizers change the properties of a polymer by increasing the free volume between polymer chains, allowing more chain movement, which translates to more flexibility of the softened plastic. TDA has shown that plasticizers anchored to nanoparticles can soften PVC but cannot escape from the polymer. Although the nanoparticles resis-
Effects of Nanoparticle Concentration and Plasticizer
Furthermore, adding plasticizers such as PEG-400, glycerol, xylitol, and sorbitol can improve the temperature sensitivity of PDA. Recent examples of new colorimetric TTIs are plasticized PDA/SiO 2
