Presence of Two Maxima in the Isothermal Free-Radical Polymerization Rate of Isobornyl Methacrylate Retarded by Oxygen
Ezequiel R. Soule, Julio Borrajo, Roberto J. J. Williams
The kinetics of the free-radical polymerization of isobornyl methacrylate (IBoMA) at 80C, initiated by benzoyl peroxide (BPO), was determined by differential scanning calorimetry (…
Kinetics of the Free-Radical Polymerization of Isobornyl Methacrylate in the Presence of Polyisobutylenes of Different Molar Masses
Ezequiel R. Soule, Julio Borrajo, Roberto J. J. Williams
The effect of a linear polymer dissolved in a reactive monomer on the kinetics of free-radical polymerization is studied. The selected system was a solution of polyisobutylene (PIB…
Thermodynamic Model of Liquid-Liquid Phase Equilibrium in Solutions of Alkanethiol-Coated Nanoparticles
Ezequiel R. Soule, Cristina E. Hoppe, Julio Borrajo +1
A thermodynamic model for a mixture of alkanethiol-coated nanoparticles (NPs) and low molecular weight (non-polymeric) solvent is developed, and calculations of liquid-liquid phase…
Thermodynamic Analysis of a Polymerization-Induced Phase Separation in Nanoparticle-Monomer-Polymer Blends
Ezequiel R. Soule, Julio Borrajo, Roberto J. J. Williams
We perform a thermodynamic analysis of the polymerization-induced phase separation in nanoparticle-monomer-polymer blends using a simple model recently proposed by V. V. Ginzburg (…
Textures in Polygonal Arrangements of Square Nanoparticles in Nematic Liquid Crystals Matrices
Paul M. Phillips, N. Mei, Ezequiel R. Soule +2
A systematic analysis of defect textures in facetted nanoparticles with polygonal configurations embedded in a nematic matrix is performed using the Landau-de Gennes model, homeotr…
Analysis of the Phase Separation Induced by a Free-Radical Polymerization in Solutions of Polyisobutylene in Isobornyl Methacrylate
Ezequiel R. Soule, Guillermo E. Elicabe, Julio Borrajo +1
We analyze a polymerization-induced phase separation taking place in solutions of a polymer dissolved in a vinyl monomer undergoing an isothermal free-radical polymerization. The s…
Thermodynamic Modelling of Phase Equilibrium in Nanoparticles-Nematic Liquid Crystals Composites
Ezequiel R. Soulé, Linda Reven, Alejandro D. Rey
In this work, a theoretical study of phase equilibrium in mixtures of a calamitic nematic liquid crystal and hard spherical nanoparticles is presented. A mean-field thermodynamic m…
