It is reasonable that, in the synthesis of polymer nanocomposites, the y-ray irradiation method is convenient for growing nanofibers and nanowires of metal chalcogenides due to the shape-control of the macromolecules formed in situ. Figure 7.38 shows some of the resulting nanofiber-dispersed polymer composites,...

As mentioned above, the macromolecules develop into more extended conformations in a good solvent or plasticizer. This increases the viscosity of dilute solutions of polymer. Viscosity changes are used for comparative evaluation of polymer-plasticizer interaction. The plasticizer may also decrease the interaction between polymeric chains and this reduces the viscosity of concentrated polymeric solutions. Incompatible plasticizers, on the other hand, may considerably reduce the viscosity of polymer compositions even in small quantities (less than 1%) by acting as internal lubricants. 

On both, the nature and the amount of admixtures. The latter can be either low- molecular substances such as stabilizers, antioxidants, colorants, and so on, or other macromolecules, or solid particles, and/or fibers in the above mentioned polymer composites. 

Another group of detectors with sample transfer employs pyrolysis of macromolecules. Column effluent is deposited continuously on the appropriate moving transporter such as a wire, chain, or net. Next, the solvent is evaporated, sample is pyrolyzed and polymer concentration is assessed from the amount of caibon dioxide formed. The problems with cleaning of sample transporter to prevent base line noise and drift prevented broad use of detectors of this kind. The attempts to apply similar principle for monitoring polymer composition by engagement of complete gas chromatography of the fractions so far remained only on the level of laboratoiy experiments. Detection of such kind would provide valuable information on the sample composition, for example for statistical copolymers. There are, however, so far unsolved problems with the dependence of composition of pyrolytic products on presence of the neighboring units in copolymers.

Lipatov (22) analyzed specific heat data for an array of filled polymer composites. He characterized the interactions due to the existence of the interphase region surrounding filler particles as a function of filler content. Because the magnitude of the specific heat jump at the glass transition temperature decreases with increase in filler content, this is indicative of exclusion of a certain portion of macromolecules in the polymer matrix to participating in the cooperative process of glass transition. 

In the previous section, conversion-time data indicate that for the FRRPP of styrene in ether, practical asymptotic values of 15 or 40% conversion were achieved for starting monomer compositions of 10 or 14.3 wt% (Figs. 2.3.5 and 2.3.8). From the phase envelopes shown in Fig. 2.3.1, these data correspond to overall polymer compositions in the reactor to be up to 2 or 4 wt% only. It should also be noted that number-average PS molecular weights were only up to 6,000 Da (Fig. 2.3.6) or 3,000 Da (Fig. 2.3.9), while thermodynamic data in Fig. 2.3.1 went down to PS molecular weight of only 25,000 Da. This means that the polymer may not have entered the polymer-rich regions in the phase diagram if it is required to cross the IPPC or spinodal, from a nonreactive standpoint. Indeed, reactor fluids have been shown to exhibit viscosities close to that of the solvent than a polymer solution at these conditions of FRRPP of styrene in ether. If the polymer macromolecules...

As a result of climate processes of ageing in polymer composites can precede processes of structure formation, which result in various flaws. It may be gaps of macromolecules, the emergence of cracks in the volume and on the surface of the material. From the Table 1 of Section 5.10 one can see that the craze size increased with growing PHB content. 

The remainder of this discussion will focus on the application of new concepts of electron transfer to new electrode modification methods. These include use of conductive polymers, solid inclusion compounds and other nonconducting solids, biological macromolecules, and composite materials. Theoretical descriptions do not exist yet for the majority of these systems.

Composites consist of several different (non-gaseous) phase domains, where at least a kind of phase-domain is a continuous phase. Thus, a polymer composite is a composite in which at least one component, the continuous phase, is a polymer. No account is taken of the miscibility or immiscibility of the constituent macromolecules, i.e., no assumption is made regarding the number of phase domains present.
