“…Ning et al [29] proposed the presence of interfacial crystallization in system of inorganic particles filled polymer, which is conducive to improve the mechanical properties of composites. Litchfield and Baird [30] defined the rheological method as an effective method to investigate dispersion of nanoparticles in polymer melt. Almost all the mentioned literatures aimed at the system of small loading of inorganic particles filled polymer matrix.…”

Poly(ethylene terephthalate)/carbon black/coupling agent composite masterbatches were fabricated using separate feeding technique. The effect of coupling agent on crystallization of composite masterbatches was investigated by differential scanning calorimetry, wide-angle X-ray diffraction, and Fourier transforminfrared spectroscopy, respectively. The results show that the strong interfacial interaction among poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET), coupling agent and carbon black hinders chains mobility in process of PET crystallization, which is illustrated by interfical structure model. Whereas, the crystallinity of composite masterbatch increases due to uniform dispersion of carbon black modified by coupling agent. Activation energy of viscous flow of the composite masterbatches is closer to that of virgin PET, so the spinning parameters can be controlled according to each other. Besides, structural viscosity index of composite masterbatches is greater due to strong interfacial interaction among PET, coupling agent and carbon black. Thus, in order to smooth spinning, the composite masterbatches need greater shear rate compared with PET/carbon black masterbatch. POLYM. COMPOS., 00:000-000, 2015. V C

Beyond Agriculture─How Microorganisms Can Revolutionize Global Food Production

The global food production system has, until now, been absolutely dependent on photosynthesis. Using microbial biomass as a source of food rather than plant-or animal-derived biomass circumvents many of the biophysical constraints and vulnerabilities of the global food system. Microbial foods in the form of either bulk cellular biomass or recombinant food proteins (typically of animal origin) can be produced in the absence of sunlight, soil, favorable climate conditions, and in some cases without freshwater. This Review looks at some of the most recent developments in the field of microbial foods and discusses some of the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead for this technology.
