The study provides a mild reaction condition to prepare an amphiphilic perylene diimide, and revealed the critical role of lateral H-bond in the abundant concentration-dependent self-assembly morphologies of the molecule.
A POSS functionalized perylene diimide (PDI) derivative, PPP, is applied to polymer microspheres as a red fluorophore. Hollow PPP/polystyrene microspheres show a fluorescence quantum yield (ΦF) of nearly unity.
A series of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) hybrid materials with high-load TiO2 content were prepared via in situ polymerization by dispersing unmodified titanium dioxide (TiO2) in Ethylene Glycol (EG), and the influence of load TiO2 nanofillers on the physical properties of PET masterbatch was investigated. The intrinsic viscosities of the prepared PET hybrid materials were affected by the addition of the nanoparticles and in both cases a slight decrease was observed. In addition, the thermal behavior of these PET hybrid materials and neat PET was investigated using Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC). The chemical structures of PET hybrid materials were characterized by Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). The TiO2 nanoparticles show well dispersibility in PET matrix. The PET hybrid material with 40wt.% TiO2 content was used as master batch to prepare full dull PET fiber with 2.5 wt.% TiO2. The melt flow ability of PET hybrid materials shows good winding and drawing performance, and also the resulted fiber has better mechanical properties than neat PET fiber. It suggests that this PET/TiO2 masterbatch by in situ polymerization may find good application for delustered fiber preparation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
