Polymers as natural nanocomposites. 1. the reinforcement structural model

The structural treatment of amorphous glassy polycarbonate as natural nanocomposite was proposed. It has been shown that the polycarbonate stiffness is defined completely by the state of its structure, which is described within the frameworks of a local order model. The large reserves of stiffness raising for amorphous glassy polymers are demonstrated.

Reaction kinetics and macromolecule-metal chelate complex formation in metal containing semi-interpenetrating polymer networks based on crosslinked polyurethane and linear polymethylmethacrylate

According to DSC and EPR data kinetics of formation of simultaneous semi-interpenetrating polymer networks based on crosslinked polyurethane and linear polymethylmethacrylate with 50:50 and 70:30 ratio obtained in the presence of 3d-metal chelates depends on type of metal. On the other hand system composition determines polyurethane or polymethylmethacrylate selection during formation of complexes with metal-diketonates.
