• Abstract

  The main objective of this project is the study of the rheological properties of composites materiais, either polymer blends or polymer clay nanocomposites aiming at a) developing tools that could be used to infer information about the morphology and microstructure of these materiais (studying the rheological behavior of these materiais in the linear viscoelastic regime) b) generate infor…

• Abstract

  Immiscible polymers are often mixed together to obtain polymer blends that are used extensively in different industrial applications such as automotive, aeronautic and packaging industries due to the synergic properties that these materials present. These properties depend strongly on the blends morphology, which can be controlled through compatibilization. The compatibilization results i…

• Abstract

  Although biodegradable polymers are attractive to substitute conventional plastics, they present unsatisfactory mechanical properties, which in combination with their high cost and high subjectivity to thermal degradation prevent their extensive use in the plastic industry. In this work polymer blends of biodegradable polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) with conventional polypropylene (PP) compatib…
