Imparting optical functionality to aromatic thermosetting copolyester by luminescent silicon nanoparticles cross-linked via in situ thermal polymerization reaction

Preparation and thermal cross-linking mechanism of co-polyester fiber with flame retardancy and anti-dripping by in situ polymerization

“…[5][6][7] Various approaches have been proposed in previous studies, including the addition of ame retardants into polyesters by blending, and incorporating ame-retardant monomers into the PET chains via polymerisation, and nishing the fabrics/textile in a solution containing ame retardants to improve the properties of retardancy. [8][9][10] However, few solutions have been developed for these problems, owing to the large number of additives required, as well as the poor durability and compatibility of the materials. These issues have prompted the introduction of the phosphorus-containing monomers into the polyester backbone.…”

Glass transition broadening via nanofiller‐contiguous polymer network in aromatic thermosetting copolyester nanocomposites

“…Herein, we demonstrate nanofiller‐contiguous polymer network with ATSP nanocomposites, incorporating carbon nanofillers, which displayed remarkable glass transition peak temperature shift as well as a unique peak broadening effect . Chemical characterization of ATSP backbone chains exhibited the formation of a robust covalent coupling with the nanoparticles enabled through in situ polymerization reaction wherein precursor oligomers and nanofiller particles were concurrently present . Supported by further enhancements in thermophysical properties, ATSP chains crosslinked and incorporated with the nanofiller particles forming a nanofiller‐conjugated nanocomposite morphology, which extensively modified the backbone configuration of the nanocomposites.…”
