ABSTRACT A ladder-type poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)-poly (ethylene glycol)-polyurethane (PEDOT-PEG-PU) supramolecular network was successfully synthesized using graft copolymerization of hydroxymethyl-EDOT with isocyanate-terminated PEG-PU prepolymer. PEDOT functionalized as the frame for a ladder-type supramolecular structure and PEG-PU as the rung. The successful formation of supramolecular network was confirmed by analyzing the Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). A series of PEDOT-PEG-PU gel polymer electrolyte by linking the LiClO4 were prepared as a function of [O/Li+] ratios. The pH effect of their electrical capacitances was investigated using cyclic voltammetry. Ionic conductivities of different PEDOT-PEG-PU/Li+ complexes at a fixed pH were also evaluated through impedance analysis. GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT A multilayer microcapsule [melamine-formaldehyde resin/aluminum hydroxide/zinc stannate] with unique core–shell structure was prepared. Fourier transform infrared, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, and transmission electron microscope were used to investigate the chemical structure of the microcapsules, fire retardancy, and thermal stability of polyvinyl chloride with these materials as additives were also investigated. Remarkably, addition of certain amount of melamine-formaldehyde/aluminum hydroxide/zinc stannate microcapsules could evidently increase limiting oxygen index values. The smoke density results showed that polyvinyl chloride containing melamine-formaldehyde/aluminum hydroxide/zinc stannate microcapsules produced less smoke than pure polyvinyl chloride. The morphologies of the residues were revealed by scanning electron microscope, ascertained that the formed char layers on the composites were denser than that of the pure polyvinyl chloride and polyvinyl chloride/aluminum hydroxide/zinc stannate microcapsule composites. Furthermore, the mechanical properties of polyvinyl chloride/melamine-formaldehyde/aluminum hydroxide/zinc stannate microcapsule composites were observably improved, highlighting its promising potential in industrial applications.

ABSTRACT Dipodal silane-modified walnut shell powder polyurethane green composites have been prepared with different weight fractions of walnut shell powder viz., 0, 3, 6, and 10 wt% with surface-modified dipodal silane. The properties of dipodal silane-modified walnut shell powder-filled polyurethane green composites was investigated by tensile testing, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, and scanning electron microscopy. The polyurethane/dipodal silane-modified walnut shell powder has been fabricated based on 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane and γ-glycidoxypropyl trimethoxysilane. The green composites were analyzed by ultraviolet–visible in two different water solutions with Ni2+ and Pd2+ ions concentrations. GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Poly(lactic acid) (PLA) was melt blended with thermoplastic elastomer, maleic anhydride grafted poly[styrene-b-(ethylene-co-butylene)-b-styrene] (SEBS-g-MA) copolymer with varied concentration (10–40 wt%) using twin screw extruder. Dynamic rheological behavior of PLA/SEBS-g-MA blends investigated a transition from liquid-like behavior to solid-like behavior in the composition range of 10–20 wt% of SEBS-g-MA. The capillary rheometer analysis showed enhanced shear viscosity with increase in SEBS-g-MA content. At 10 wt% of SEBS-g-MA, a maximum in the non-essential work of fracture was observed which reflects resistance to crack propagation. Scanning electron microscopy revealed a transition in deformation mechanisms from voids, to fibrillation and cavitation. GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Current research work was conducted for enhancing solubility of rosuvastatin calcium. A highly stable, biocompatible, and nontoxic β-cyclodextrin-g-poly(methacrylic acid) graft polymeric network was developed. Formulations proved entrapment efficacy (%) in between 82.30 ± 0.25 and 89.00 ± 0.25 and gel fraction between 90.34 ± 1.012 and 95.25 ± 1.331. Formulation HM2 had shown optimum swelling and drug release, i.e., 85.74% at pH 6.8. The best-fit model was first-order kinetics with anomalous diffusion as release mechanism. Likewise, solubility enhancement, i.e., 9.59-folds was determined at pH 6.8. It was concluded that hydrogel microparticles are the promising tools for improving solubility and bioavailability of hydrophobic drugs. GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT The L-configured poly(lactic acid) has exhibited vast appeal in the past decades. However, most previous researches reveal that L-configured poly(lactic acid) exhibits fragile behavior, which limits its applications. Present work clarified that the toughness of poly(lactic acid) depended on the content of crystallites and rigid component incorporated into the specimens. The elongation at break was remarkably high in the L-configured poly(lactic acid)/D-configured poly(lactic acid) with a small amount of D-configured poly(lactic acid) (≤15%). The stretching led to orientation of crystals and amorphous molecular chains and segments. The crystals did not vary, while the amorphous molecular chains transited to mesophase during stretching, and this mesophase formed homocrystallites during heating. GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT The nanocomposite films of poly vinylpyrrolidone (PVP) with different amounts viz., 2, 4, 6 and 8 wt% of cesium aluminate (CsAlO2) have been fabricated using solvent casting technique. The effect of nanofiller content on the optical properties of PVP/CsAlO2 nanocomposite films has been established by UV-visible spectroscopy. The UV-visible transmittance studies revealed that the UV light absorbing nature of nanocomposite films with considerable visible transparency. The Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectral studies visualizes the effect of CsAlO2 nanofiller on the structural behaviors of PVP, while optical studies reveals an obvious change in the electronic band structure leading to a significant reduction in optical band gaps. The scanning electron microscopic (SEM) studies establish the morphological changes in PVP matrix upon doping with CsAlO2. The measured refractive index (RI) depends on the volume fraction of CsAlO2 nanofiller and the result indicates that a substantial increase of RI values from 1.85 to 2.64 at wave length 360 nm. The dielectric studies, optical conductivity measurements and Urbach energy analysis also supports the dopant dependent optical property, tuning of PVP/CsAlO2 nanocomposite films to enable effective material property engineering to suit specified application requirements.

ABSTRACT Long-chain branched polypropylenes were synthesized from a maleic anhydride grafted polypropylene (PPg). Different levels of branching were generated by reactive processing using four chain-linking agents: glycerol, 1,4-butanediol, 1,4-phenylenediamine, and the epoxy resin bisphenol-A diglycidyl ether. The results from Fourier transform infrared and size-exclusion chromatography confirm the grafting of the chain-linking agents onto grafted polypropylene and the generation of long-chain branches. In addition, the rheological and morphological results show that 1,4-phenylenediamine produces the largest increment of branching at significantly lower concentrations than the other chain-linking agents. Moreover, 1,4-phenylenediamine gives place to branched polypropylenes with narrower distribution of molecular structures. GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT A new type of thermothickening graft copolymer was synthesized through free radical copolymerization and grafting onto technique in aqueous solution. Their molecular structure combines a hydrophilic backbone based on poly(acrylicacid-co-2-acrylamido-2-methylpropane sulfonic acid and thermosensitive side chains based on N,N-diethylacrylamide and N,N-dimethylacrylamide (DMAA). The lower critical solution temperature of poly(N,N-diethylacrylamide) was increased easily by copolymerizing with hydrophilic monomers DMAA. The results demonstrate that the polymers in aqueous solution exhibit a significant increase in viscosity with the temperature rising and their thermothickening behavior is related to various physicochemical parameters such as the concentration of the polymer, shear rate, chemical composition of side chains, salt concentration, and pH value.
