Synthesis and Characterization of a Series of Star-Branched Poly(epsilon-caprolactone)s with Nanoscale Molecular Architectural Variation

Choi J., Song H.J., Kwak S-Y, Seoul National University, KR

In this study, a series of star-branched poly(epsilon-caprolactone)s (SPCLs) was synthesized with nanoscale molecular architectural variation in arm numbers and lengths by ring-opening polymerization under bulk condition. Arm numbers were varied to be 3, 4, [...]

Evaluation of the Degree of Exfoliation in Poly(epsilon-caprolactone) Nanocomposites Using by the Dynamic Mechanical Analysis

Chung J.W., Jeon J-D, Kwak S-Y, Seoul National University, KR

Nanocomposites composed of poly(epsilon-caprolactone) (PCL) and the organoclays which were layered silicate with the organic modifiers, i.e., nonpolar (OC25A) and polar (OC30B), were prepared by melt mixing. After mixing, we imposed additional heat to PCL/organoclay [...]
