Combustion of fossil fuels and many other industrial activities inevitably produces carbon
dioxide (CO2) that is released into the atmosphere and is currently deemed to be among the …

The control of the nanostructure and the addition of nanoparticles to polymers have led to
structural and functional property enhancements in a number of polymeric systems as a …

After a decade of periodic truss-, plate-, and shell-based architectures having dominated the
design of metamaterials, we introduce the non-periodic class of spinodoid topologies …

Low-density materials with tailorable properties have attracted attention for decades, yet stiff
materials that can resiliently tolerate extreme forces and deformation while being …

It will be shown that an interfacially percolated rubbery phase in a cocontinuous polylactide
(PLA)/linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) blend results in a significant increase in the …

Superhydrophobic surfaces are typically created by enhancing nanoscale roughness or
incorporating anti-wetting additives like silanes, nanoparticles, or fluorinated compounds …

Janus particles (JPs) are a new type of compatibilizer for polymer blends that offer a wider
range of adjustable amphiphilic (Janus balance) and reactivity properties. In this study …

Using ternary blends of polystyrene (PS), poly (methyl methacrylate)(PMMA), and Janus
particles (JPs) with symmetric PS and PMMA hemispheres, we demonstrate the stabilization …

Organomodified clays are known to be effective in polymer blend compatibilization if located
preferentially at the domain interfaces, but little is known regarding the origin of their …

We describe an approach to prepare co-continuous microstructured blends of polymers and
nanoparticles by formation of a percolating network of particles within one phase of a …
