Characterization and Quantification of Immiscible Polymer Blend Compatibilization by Phyllosilicate Clays
Ankit Patidar, Gaurav Goel
Phyllosilicate clays are widely used in polymer nanocomposites owing to their high anisotropy and tunable surface polarity. Their distribution and interface localization in polymer…
Characterization and Quantification of Immiscible Polymer Blend Compatibilization by Phyllosilicate Clays
Ankit Patidar, Gaurav Goel
Phyllosilicate clays have diverse applications in packaging industries and are found highly suitable for formulation, including thermoplastic starch (TPS), polyethylene (PE), or th…
Characterization of Morphology Evolution in a Polymer-Clay Nanocomposite using Multiscale Simulations
Parvez Khana, Ankit Patidara, Gaurav Goel
Molecular simulations provide an effective route for investigating morphology evolution and structure-property relationship in polymer-clay nanocomposites (PCNCs) incorporating lay…
MARTINI Coarse-grained Force Field for Thermoplastic Starch Nanocomposites
Ankit Patidar, Gaurav Goel
Thermoplastic starch (TPS) is an excellent film-forming material, and adding fillers such as tetramethylammonium-montmorillonite (TMA-MMT) clay has significantly expanded its use i…
