Miscibility of blends of poly(methyl methacrylate) and oligodiols based on a bisphenol A nucleus and ethylene oxide or propylene oxide branches
B. Jaffrennou, E. R. Soule, F. Mechin +3
Cloud-point curves of blends of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) with a series of oligodiols based on a bisphenol A nucleus and short branches of poly(ethylene oxide) or poly(propy…
Nanostructured epoxies based on the self-assembly of block copolymers: a new miscible block that can be tailored to different epoxy formulations
S. Maiez-Tribut, J. P. Pascault, E. R. Soule +2
Nanostructured thermosets may be obtained by self-assembly of amphiphilic block copolymers in a reactive solvent and fixation of the morphologies by the cross-linking reaction. Nan…
A Rubber-Modified Thermoplastic where the Morphology Produced by Phase-Separation Induced by Polymerization Disappears at High Conversions
E. R. Soule, G. E. Elicabe, R. J. J. Williams
An unexpected experimental finding is reported where the primary morphology developed during polymerization-induced phase separation in a rubber-modified thermoplastic disappears a…
A good and computationally efficient polynomial approximation to the Maier-Saupe nematic free energy
Ezequiel R. Soule, Alejandro D. Rey
A new computational strategy is proposed to approximate, with a simple but accurate expression, the Maier- Saupe free energy for nematic order. Instead of the traditional approach…
Dynamics of transient metastable states in mixtures under coupled phase ordering and chemical demixing
Ezequiel R. Soulé, Alejandro D. Rey
We present theory and simulation of simultaneous chemical demixing and phase ordering in a polymer-liquid crystal mixture in conditions where isotropic-isotropic phase separation i…
Modeling Complex Liquid Crystals Mixtures: From Polymer Dispersed Mesophase to Nematic Nanocolloids
Ezequiel R. Soule, Alejandro D. Rey
Liquid crystals are synthetic and biological viscoelastic anisotropic soft matter materials that combine liquid fluidity with crystal anisotropy and find use in optical devices, se…
Multiple interfaces in diffusional phase transitions in binary mesogen-non-mesogen mixtures undergoing metastable phase separations
Ezequiel R. Soule, Cyrille Lavigne, Linda Reven +1
Theory and simulations of simultaneous chemical demixing and phase ordering are performed for a mixed order parameter system with an isotropic-isotropic (I-I) phase separation that…
