Order-Order Phase Transitions Induced by Supercritical Carbon Dioxide in Triblock Copolymer Thin Films
2019
We study the influence of supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO2) on the phase behavior of a cylinder-forming polystyrene-block-polybutadiene-b-polystyrenetriblock copolymer thin film. Solvent annealing with scCO2 can produce patterns with long-range order but these structures become unstable for thin films with small thicknesses. These results are in good agreement with self-consistent mean field calculations, which indicate that a drying transition occurs for thicknesses below the radius of gyration of the molecule.After decompression and solvent extraction, the initially swollen polymer nanostructure suffers a strong reduction in the average domain spacing, which has a deleterious effect on…
Characterization of V-doped SnO2 nanoparticles at ambient and high pressures
2018
Nanoparticles of V-doped SnO2 with stoichiometry Sn1-xO2Vx (x = 0.05, 0.075, 0.125) have been synthesized by a co-precipitation method. Their structural, vibrational, and nuclear properties have been characterized by x-ray Diffraction, Transmission Electron Microscopy, Energy Dispersive x-ray Spectroscopy, Raman Spectroscopy, and Mössbauer Spectroscopy (with 119Sn probe) at ambient pressure. We also performed high-pressure synchrotron x-ray diffraction experiments. The structural behaviour was studied up to ∼10 GPa under quasi-hydrostatic conditions. It has been found that tin dioxide nanoparticles with V are more compressible than un-doped tin dioxide nanoparticles. Fil: Ferrari, S. Consej…
Properties and structure of cyanate ester/polysulfone/organoclay nanocomposites
2006
In this paper, a cyanate ester (CE) matrix has been modified with polysulfone and an organic montmorillonite (Nanofil 919). The blend was thermally cured in presence of copper acetylcetonate and nonylphenol. The morphology of the cured materials was investigated by wide angle X-ray, scanning and transmission electron microscopy techniques. An intercalate structure of silicate platelets in the cyanate matrix has been obtained. Furthermore, results of thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) suggest that CE/PSF/Nanofil 919 nanocomposites have higher thermal stability than the neat resin, increasing the onset decomposition temperature. Flexural strength distributions of modified and neat cyanate matri…
Active properties of edible marine polysaccharide-based coatings containing Larrea nitida polyphenols enriched extract.
2020
The aim of this work was to develop active edible coatings based on marine polysaccharide matrices and polyphenols-enriched native plant extracts from arid and semiarid regions of Argentina. Initially, five plant extracts were characterized in terms of antioxidant, antibacterial and antiviral activity and the one with better biological properties and no toxicity or genotoxicity, Larrea nitida (Ln) extract, was incorporated into agar, alginate or agar/alginate matrices. The Ln extract-containing films were characterized in terms of physicochemical and polyphenols release performance in food simulants. The incorporation of Ln extract provided darker films, with a more saturated orange-brownis…
