     JUNIPER PUBLISHERS-   ACADEMIC JOURNAL OF POLYMER SCIENCE Abstract Mechanism of mesoparticles modification reactions are considered with the application of such notions as charges quantization, phase coherence, interference and annihilation. On the base of theoretical Mesoscopics ideas the formation of covalent bonds because of the interference of negative charges quants in modification reactions is discussed. The hypothesis about possibility of annihilation at the interaction of positive and negative charges quants in redox processes is presented. The magnetic metal carbon mesoscopic composites synthesis (for example, initial metal carbon Mesocomposites) is realized by mechanochemical method at the grinding of metal oxides microscopic particles with polyvinyl alcohol macromolecules. Then in the result the Copper or Nickel Carbon mesocomposites which have the following atomic magnetic moments: for Copper – 1,3 μB, for Nickel – 1,8 μB are obtained. The investigat...

       JUNIPER PUBLISHERS-   ACADEMIC JOURNAL OF POLYMER SCIENCE Abstract Shape memory polymers (SMPs) are the new class of smart fascinating polymer materials with different potential applications. This research work aims to present systematic investigations of electrically actuated shape memory (EASM) properties at different electric voltage of epoxy polymer filled with 0.1 to 0.4 wt. % of Graphene (GO) to develop SMPs nanocomposites. EASM effect and surface morphology functional analysis of composites were observed after EASM characterization by Field Emission-Scanning Electron Microscopy (FE-SEM) and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR). 0.4 wt. % addition of GO showed highest shape recovery at 180 S, 140 S and 95 S for 40 V, 60 V and 80 V respectively. These results suggest that GO could be promising materials for electrically actuated shape memory applications. Keywords:  Graphene Oxide; Epoxy; Smart Polymer; Shape Memory; Polymer Nanocompo...

   JUNIPER PUBLISHERS-   ACADEMIC JOURNAL OF POLYMER SCIENCE Abstract In the rapidly developing world a great concern regarding the protection and wellbeing of living beings and environment has led to the necessity for development of accurate monitoring processes through accurate and sensitive sensors. For these sensor applications conducting polymers nanocomposites have been widely used. In this article we will discuss about the conducting polymers, their mechanism of conduction, the sensing mechanism and different types of conducting polymers-based gas sensors. The prospects of conducting polymers-based gas sensor nanocomposites are also discussed in this article.

   JUNIPER PUBLISHERS-   ACADEMIC JOURNAL OF POLYMER SCIENCE Opinion The flexible microwave absorbers are being considered as new generation materials which have wide applications in the local area network, wireless data communication, radar systems, satellite communication, satellite television, electronic devices and the heating systems, etc. A number of dielectric, magnetic, and magneto – dielectric materials are frequently used as microwave absorbers for various applications. The carbonaceous materials like carbon fiber, carbon nanotubes, graphite and graphene and inorganic materials like metals, metal oxides, and conducting alloys are used to develop the dielectric microwave absorber because of their conducting loss property. The magnetic materials like magnetic metals and their compounds are used to produce magnetic microwave absorber due to their hysteresis loss property. The combined features of the dielectric and magnetic materials together assist in the preparat...

   JUNIPER PUBLISHERS-   ACADEMIC JOURNAL OF POLYMER SCIENCE Abstract Novel phenyl-disubstituted propyl 3-(R-phenyl)-2-cyanoacrylates, RPhCH=C(CN)CO 2 C 3 H 7  (where R is 2-fluoro-5-methyl, 3-iodo-4-methoxy, 5-iodo-2-methoxy, 3,5-dichloro, 3,4-difluoro, 3,5-difluoro, 2-chloro-4-fluoro, 2-chloro-6-fluoro, 3-chloro-2-fluoro, and 3-chloro-4-fluoro) were prepared using condensation of substituted benzoic aldehydes and propyl ester of cyanoacetic acid. The ethynyl benzene copolymerization of novel cyanoacrylates was conducted in solution with radical initiation at 70 C. Nitrogen analysis,  1 H &  13 C NMR was used to analyze composition and the structure. Thermal behavior of the copolymers was analyzed by DSC and TGA. Keywords:  Radical copolymerization; Styrene copolymers; Trisubstituted ethylene’s; Cyanoacrylates Introduction Ring–functionalized trisubstituted ethylene’s (TSE), esters of 3-phenyl-2-cyanoacrylates, R1PhCH=C(CN) CO 2 R 2  continu...
