Biodegradable poly(propylene carbonate) (PPC)/epoxidized soybean oil (ESO) blends with different component ratios were prepared by melt blending to improve the performance of PPC.The phase morphology,thermal properties,rheological properties and mechanica
Nanocomposite hydrogels are one of the most important types of biomaterials which can be used in many different applications such as drug delivery and tissue engineering.Incorporation of nanoparticles within a hydrogel matrix can provide unique characteri
Due to the poor solubility of aromatic polyesters in common organic solvents,trifluoroacetic acid is usually used as a co-solvent to increase their solubility for characterizations.However,only few studies have reported the side reactions induced by it.We
Reversible switching from a highly rough surface to another entirely smooth surface under external stimuli is crucial for intelligent materials applied in the fields of anti-fogging,self-cleaning,oil-water separation and biotechnology.In this work,a therm
The fully biodegradable polymer blends remain challenges for the application due to their undesirable comprehensive performance.Herein,remarkable combination of superior mechanical performance,bacterial resistance,and controllable degradability is realize
Macroscopic and microscale creep deformations of UHMWPE were investigated by using in situ SAXS.A methodology for the measurement of the local creep deformation of inter-lamellar amorphous phase has been proposed.The local strain of inter-lamellar amorpho
Study of stable liquid crystal (LC) microdroplets is of great significance for LC dynamics in confined space or at topological surface.However,the fabrication of LC microdroplets with diverse shape without ionic gelation agents still remains challenging d
In this work,we modify the traditional Brusselator model to incorporate the intermolecular interactions,based on which a systematic study is performed on the pattern formation mediated by chemical reaction and phase separation.It is found that if the chem
Entanglement network is an important structural feature in concentrated polymer solutions and polymer melts,which has a great influence on the transient rheological behavior and molecular configuration evolution.However,the existing constitutive models ha
