A versatile method for facile and reliable synthesis of colloidal particles with a size and composition gradient

Abstract Colloidal particles play a pivotal role in numerous applications across various disciplines, many of which necessitate precise control over particle size and size distribution. Seeded growth reactions have been established as effective methods for reproducibly accessing tailor-made particles. However, conventional batch-wise syntheses only yield discrete particle sizes. With the increasing focus on complex structures in current research, there is a demand for innovative and adaptable techniques to produce colloidal particles with precise sizes and size distributions. The Controlled Emulsion Extraction Process (CrEEP) is capable of addressing this challenge. Here, we present in detail how this synthesis works and demonstrate its reliability and versatility. Our approach exploits the time-dependent particle growth and enables accessing dispersions of controlled particle size distributions. We highlight these possibilities through a variation of the monomer feed and feed composition, resulting in gradual changes in both size and glass transition temperature, respectively. Beyond its application to polymer particles, CrEEP can be seamlessly extended to other seeded-growth mechanisms, such as the silica Stöber synthesis. Consequently, the Controlled Extraction Stöber Process (CrESP) similarly yields a size gradient, showcasing the generality of this synthetic advancement. Graphical abstract

Pendant Group Functionalization of Cyclic Olefin for High Temperature and High-Density Energy Storage.

High-temperature flexible polymer dielectrics are critical for high-power-density energy storage and conversion under harsh operating conditions. These types of dielectrics will need to simultaneously possess a high bandgap, dielectric constant and glass transition temperature - a substantial challenge when designing novel dielectric polymers. In this work, by varying halogen substituents of an aromatic pendant hanging off a bicyclic mainchain polymer, a class of high-temperature olefins with adjustable thermal stability are obtained, all with uncompromised large bandgaps. Halogens substitution of the pendant groups at para or ortho position of polyoxanorborneneimides (PONB) imparts it with tunable high glass transition temperature from ∼220 to 245°C, while with also moderate dielectric constant of ∼ 2.8-3.0 and high breakdown strength of ∼625-800MV/m. A high energy density of 7.1 J/cc at 200°C is achieved with p-POClNB, representing the highest reported energy density among all-organic homo-polymer dielectrics. Molecular dynamic simulations and ultrafast infrared spectroscopy were used to probe the free volume element distribution and chain relaxations of the polymers to provide insights to the dielectric thermal properties. An increase in free volume element is observed with the change in the pendant group from fluorine to bromine at the para position; however, a decrease in free volume element is observed as we change the pendant group from fluorine to chlorine at the ortho position because of the steric hindrance. Overall, the dielectric constant and band gap remain stable while the glass transition temperature changes more obviously. Consequently, by proper designing the pendant groups, the thermal stability of PONB can be improved for harsh condition electrification. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

Addition of calcium carbonate in the synthesis of flexible polyurethane foams

Within all their variability, foams constitute the largest segment in the polyurethane industry. Polyurethane is composed mainly of isocyanate (-N=C=O) and polyol (-OH) functional groups, presenting different characteristics by adding fillers. This polymer has a wide range of applications such as adhesives, coatings, varnishes, elastomers and foams. Aiming improvements in its thermal properties, calcium carbonate addition was investigated in proportions of 12.5%, 25% and 37.5% (w/w). This filler is widely used to change the properties of polymers, as it is easily found in nature and has a low cost. For the synthesis of polyurethane samples, isocyanate and polyol were reacted using "one shot" process. The obtained results demonstrated the change in the glass transition temperatures (Tg) of the material to higher values, which indicates a decrease in the mobility of the polymer chains. Also, an increase in decomposition temperature was observed via differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). With Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis, it was possible to analyze that the material was successfully synthesized by the appearance of the characteristic bands of PU foams. Furthermore, with the addition of calcium carbonate, it was possible to identify the presence of two phases, which indicate that the material underwent changes in its crystallinity, identified through X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis. Finally, it was possible to observe via optical microscopy (OM) analysis that the addition of filler significantly changed the morphology of the foams.

Evaluation of Viscoelastic Performance and Molecular Structures of Natural Rubber/NBR Blends Reinforced by Carbon Black and Nano-Silica

This study focuses on the evaluation of the dynamic mechanical properties, molecular structure, density, hardness, swelling behavior of natural rubber blends (NR) and nitrile rubber (NBR) reinforced with carbon black and/or nano-silica. An experimental work has been conducted to study of the effects of increasing NR content and incorporating nano-silica on the mechanical properties and molecular structure were studied using dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. The results show that increasing the NR content and/or incorporating nano-silica into the elastomer leads to a higher storage modulus with no significant change in the glass transition temperature. FTIR analysis indicates the compatibility of the polyblends and the presence of oxidation of the main polymer chain generated during the grinding of the rubber. Additionally, the results of the swelling study demonstrate that stronger molecular interactions occur on the surface of the nano-silica between the nitrile radicals in the NBR and the silanol (Si-OH) radicals. These findings suggest that blending NR and NBR with carbon black and/or nano-silica can improve the mechanical properties and compatibility of the resulting polyblends, with potential applications in the development of advanced elastomeric materials.

Properties and Performance of Epoxy Resin/Boron Acid Composites.

This research study focused on the effect of adding boric acid to epoxy resin in order to obtain a composite material with improved properties and performance. To this end, a fine powder of boric acid (H3BO3) was introduced into epoxy resin in different amounts, i.e., 0.5 g, 1.0 g, and 1.5 g. As the matrix of the epoxy composites, styrene-modified epoxy resin based on bisphenol A (BPA) (Epidian 53) was used. It was cross-linked with two types of curing agents, i.e., an amine (ET) and a polyamide (PAC). The mechanical properties of the obtained epoxy composites (in terms of compressive strength, compressive modulus, and compressive strain) were determined at room temperature in order to assess the effect of the addition of boron acid and of the type of curing agent employed to cure the epoxy on these characteristics. Calorimetric measurements were made to highlight any changes in the glass transition temperature (Tg) as a result of the addition of boric acid to epoxy resin. Finally, flammability tests were performed on both Epidian 53/PAC and Epidian 53/ET epoxy composites to analyze their fire behavior and consequently establish the effectiveness of the selected additive as a flame retardant.

Investigation the optical and structural properties of Mn-doped Sb2S3 nanocrystals embedded in host glass

The search for earth-abundant and non-toxic elements is essential for the manufacture of sustainable optical devices. In this context, dilute magnetic semiconductor (DMS) xMn-doped Sb2S3 nanocrystals (NCs) embedded in host glass were synthesized by the fusion method. Differential Thermal Analysis shows evidence of Sb2S3 phase crystallization peak and changes in glass transition and crystallization temperatures of the host glass with the presence of xMn-doped Sb2S3 NCs. Transmission electron microscopy images show the formation of xMn-doped Sb2S3 NCs with increasing size (2.1–3.8 nm) as a function of concentration (x = 0.00 to 0.40), respectively. X-ray diffraction measurements reinforced the evidence for the orthorhombic structure of xMn-doped Sb2S3 NCs embedded in glass. Energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy analyses confirm the S, Sb and Mn precursor elements of DMS NCs. Atomic and magnetic force microscopy measurements show the magnetic contrast patterns resulting from the incorporation of Mn atoms into the Sb2S3 structure. The electronic paramagnetic resonance spectrum confirms the presence of Mn2+ ions (3d5) located in the crystal field of the Sb2S3 semiconductor due to six hyperfine transitions. The redshift of the Raman vibrational mode (1Ag) with increasing xMn concentration gives strong evidence for the presence of Mn2+ ions in sulfur vacancies (VS) in the Sb2S3 unit cell. Optical absorption and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy measurements for xMn-doped Sb2S3 NCs show the subtle tunable redshift of the band gap and excitonic recombination in the green-red region, with increasing x concentration. PL confirms that dopant Mn2+ ions fill VS2 that are dominant in Sb2S3. Therefore, the position of the energy states after the increasing concentration of Mn2+ dopant ions gives rise to insight into luminescence for future research scenarios and applications involving sustainable DMS NCs.

Thermophysical Properties of Composite Metal-Filled Copolymers of Polyvinylpyrrolidone

The effect of the presence of finely dispersed metal fillers of various natures (Zn, Co, Ni) on the thermophysical characteristics (Vick heat resistance, glass transition temperature) of polyvinylpyrrolidone block copolymers with 2-hydroxyethylmethacrylate was studied. It was found that the heat resistance of the obtained composites significantly exceeds the heat resistance of unfilled copolymers and is in the range of 360-395K, depending on the nature and content of the metal filler. The change in heat resistance correlates with the change in glass transition temperature, which was evaluated according to the results of thermomechanical and dynamic mechanical thermal analyses. The results of this work are an additional source to characterize the structure of metal-filled copolymers: they confirm the participation of metal filler particles in the formation of the nodes of the copolymer spatial network, and also prove the formation of a different polymer network structure in the interfacial layer on the surface of the metal particle and in the polymer volume.

Advancing additive manufacturing: 3D‐printing of hybrid natural fiber sandwich (Nona/Soy‐PLA) composites through filament extrusion and its effect on thermomechanical properties

AbstractThe additive manufacturing technique represents a technological advancement post the industrial revolution, enabling the development of intricate products with minimal waste. In the automotive sector, polymer extrusion‐based additive manufacturing is predominantly employed for part customization. Recently, reinforced polymer matrices have been used to enhance structural integrity, primarily utilizing synthetic materials. Due to environmental concerns, some recent studies have explored the incorporation of natural fiber reinforcement in polymer matrices for 3D‐printed products. Most research has focused on filler reinforcement, limiting investigations to a single type of reinforcement. To bridge this gap and enhance composite performance, our research introduces a novel method for 3D printing composites. This involves stacking sequences using two different natural fiber‐reinforced polylactic acid (PLA) filaments, namely Nona and Soy, respectively. Mechanical testing reveals that the stacking sequence significantly influences the mechanical properties of the 3D‐printed composites. The 3D‐printed composite with Soy/PLA skin stacks exhibits the highest tensile strength of 74.82 MPa. Thermal analysis shows minor changes in glass transition temperature (Tg) and a consistent degree of crystallinity (10.01%). Notable differences in thermal expansion are observed due to the stacking sequence. Fatigue analysis demonstrates the durability of hybrid composites, enduring over 42,000 cycles with minimal deformation compared with to pure fiber‐reinforced 3D‐printed composites. Morphological analysis reveals excellent fiber–matrix interaction and bonding between stacks. The observations confirm that the developed material can be potentially used for developing structurally enhanced composites for lightweight applications. Moreover, the proposed methodology can be adapted for different 3D printing matrices, including robotic printing with multiple axes, making it suitable for various industrial sectors.Highlights Utilization of 3D printing technology for the development of agro‐waste fiber products.

Analysis of the Curing Behavior of Cyanate/Epoxy Resins for Fusion Magnets

ITER IF coils and the German WX-7 star simulator fusion reactor both use cyanate ester/epoxy resin as the matrix material for their insulation structure. The main reason is that cyanate ester/epoxy resin insulation materials have low-temperature mechanics and radiation resistance, and have extremely low rheological properties and long applicability periods. However, high-energy polymerization will occur when the two are mixed, releasing a huge amount of heat. This study used different molds to prepare cyanate ester/epoxy resin (mass ratio 4:6), and used DSC (Differential Calorimetry Scanning) thermal analyzer and temperature monitoring to study the curing behavior and thermal stability of cyanate ester-modified epoxy resin-based materials. After multiple optimizations, the resin was completely cured within a controllable range, and there was no significant change in the glass transition temperature before and after adjustment.

Impact of water absorption on the creep performance of epoxy/microcrystalline cellulose composites

AbstractRecently, considerable effort has been made to study cellulose/epoxy composites. However, there is a gap when it comes to understanding the post‐conditioning anomalous effect of moisture uptake on their mechanical and dynamic‐mechanical properties, and on their creep behavior. In this work, up to 10.0 wt% microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) was incorporated into epoxy resin by simple mixing and sonication. Epoxy/MCC composites were fabricated by casting in rubber silicone molds, and rectangular and dog‐bone test specimens were produced. The moisture uptake, dynamic mechanical, chemical, tensile, and creep behavior were evaluated. The incorporation of MCC increased the water diffusion coefficient. The changes in storage modulus and glass transition temperature, combined with Fourier‐transform infrared spectroscopy analysis, evidenced that water sorption in epoxies causes both plasticization and additional resin crosslinking, although the latter is prevented by the addition of MCC. The creep strain of the composites increased by 60% after conditioning, indicating that plasticization induced by water sorption plays an important role in the long‐term properties of the composites.

Tailoring the physical parameters of nematogen using non-mesogenic ferromagnetic unit: dielectric and photoluminescence study

Liquid crystals are self-organized anisotropic fluids which exhibit ordered states ranging from nematics to smectics/hexatics. Hybridized liquid crystals with nanoparticles broaden the research area in finding the novel functional devices. Reported herein, the study of highly stable room temperature nematic liquid crystal E7 and carbon-coated cobalt (Co) nanoparticles. Dispersion of 0.50 wt.% Co into E7 has been introduced to tailor the physical parameters of host E7. Dielectric studies have been performed in planar as well as homeotropic cells in the frequency range of 20 Hz–10MHz while photoluminescence spectra have been recorded at excitation wavelength of 325 nm in planar cells. Dielectric studies reveal the change in phase transition temperature and molecular dynamics associated with magnetic nanoparticles doped liquid crystals. Quenching in photoluminescence intensity has been observed with the inclusion of Co nanoparticles due to the formation of non-radiative channels in the composite system. The intercalation of Co nanoparticles into E7 studies manifests the strong correlation between liquid crystals and nanoparticles. Allocation of magnetic attributes onto liquid crystal molecules finds potential applications in advanced magnetic materials, information devices and optical devices.

Thickness‐dependent glass transition temperature of hydroxyethyl cellulose thin films based on dielectric properties

AbstractHydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC) thin films with a molecular weight of 720,000 g/mol deposited by thermal evaporation in a thickness range of 250, 500, and 750 nm were measured in a frequency range of 1–105 Hz and a temperature range of 233–373 K for dielectric characterization with increments of 10 K. Dielectric results were used to derive and evaluate the glass transition temperature and ductility, which are essential parameters for structural analysis. Results showed that the thickness of HEC thin films was an effective parameter on dielectric and structural properties. Because of the increasing thickness, the dielectric constant has values between 22 and 143 at 1 kHz, and glass transition temperature and ductility change between 211–175 K and 15–20, respectively. Based on the literature and the compatible results, the main effect of these variations could be dead layers and voids in structure. The effect of the dead layer gave an important idea about the adjustability of mechanical properties of HEC thin films depending on the thickness. In this way, it would be possible to use these thin films deposited from HEC with 720,000 g/mol molecular weight, especially in drug delivery, electrophoresis technologies, biomedical devices, and coverage applications.

Fabrication of electrospun nanofiber from a blend of PVC and PHB

Abstract In this work, the fabrication process of electrospun nanofibers from a blend of polyhydroxy butyrate (PHB) and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) has been investigated. PVC/PHB nanofibers have been fabricated from solutions using different PVC and PHB ratios. The influence of technical parameters of the electrospinning process on the fabrication, morphology, and diameter of nanofibers has been evaluated. The chemical structure and thermal properties of PVC/PHB have been studied. The results show that the diameter of PVC/PHB nanofibers increases as the PHB content increases. In addition, the optimal technical parameters of the electrospinning process for each PVC and PHB ratio are different. Infrared spectroscopy analysis revealed an enhancement of the crystalline phase of the polymer composite with increasing PHB content. The thermal properties of PVC/PHB nanofibers were evaluated through differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The change in PHB ratios leads to a change in the glass transition temperature of PVC/PHB nanofibers. The thermal degradation process of PVC/PHB includes two steps. Increasing the PHB content leads to an enhancement in the mechanical strength of PVC/PHB nanofiber mats; however, it also results in a reduction in tensile elongation. Based on the results of structural, morphological, interaction analysis, and mechanical properties of PVC/PHB nanofibers, this study contributes to the optimization of the fabrication of nanofibers from PVC and PHB. PVC/PHB nanofibers have the potential to be used for air filtration applications.

Dynamical behaviour of phase transitions in liquid crystals under ultrasound field

The study investigates the influence of an acoustic field on the process of interface formation, phase boundary propagation kinetics, and isotropic phase nucleation in a nematic liquid crystal (NLC) during the NLC → isotropic liquid (IL) phase transition. Experimental studies were conducted using acoustically "rigid" drops and both "rigid" and "soft" cells of sandwich type, with one substrate being a piezo quartz’s X-cut plate. The thickness of the investigated LC layers with planar and homotropic orientations was 20, 50, and 100 μm. The frequency of the ultrasonic field ranged from 3.77 to 4 MHz. Additionally, we computed the values of isotropic germ’s radius in NLC during the NLC → IL phase transition both without and under the ultrasonic field. The obtained data indicate an increased probability of forming a germ of an isotropic phase during the NLC → IL phase transition under the influence of ultrasound. These findings align well with the experimentally observed trends in the changes of phase transition temperature, specifically with the depression of the NLC → IL phase transition temperature in the presence of an ultrasound field.

Applied and computational investigation of plasticizing effects of dibutyl maleate on polymethyl methacrylate acrylic resin material

In this study, the amount of change in the glass transition temperature (Tg) of PMMA was analyzed by DSC by adding different ratios of dibutyl maleate (DBM) plasticizer to polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), which is used as the main ingredient of prosthetics in dentistry. For this, liquid DBM was added to powdered PMMA at a rate of 2, 5, 8 and 15 % by mass, and polymerization was carried out at 100 °C. Mechanical tests such as impact resistance, transverse resistance and maximum flexion tests were applied to these prepared mixtures. It was observed that there was a significant parallelism between the Tg values calculated from the DSC curves and the mechanical tests. The Tg value of PMMA was reduced by approximately half with the addition of DBM plasticizer. Additionally, the chemical interaction between PMMA and DBM was analyzed in the light of the Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations. The binding energy for the mentioned interaction was determined as 1.591 eV. After both species interacted with each other, the glass transition temperature of the formed complex system was theoretically also predicted through the quantitative structure-property relationship (QSPR) model. For theoretical prediction of Tg, the molecular traceless quadrupole moment Θ and the molecular average hexadecapole moment Φ, are used. The change determined as experimental in glass transition temperature as a result of the interaction between PMMA and DBM was supported with theoretical calculations. Experimental and theoretical data are in good agreement.

Long‐term residual properties and durability of glass fiber reinforced polymer composite exposed to alkaline solution and natural weather for a decade

AbstractThis paper presents a comprehensive analysis of the residual thermal and mechanical properties of pultruded glass fiber reinforced polymer composite bars following a decade of conditioning in an alkaline solution and exposure to natural weather conditions. The study focuses on evaluating the changes in the glass transition temperature (Tg) of the polymer matrix and its impact on the bar's mechanical performance. The results indicate that the Tg retained approximately 94.7% of its initial value, with the decrease attributed to the plasticizing effect of absorbed water. The flexural modulus, flexural strength, and transverse shear strength were found to retain 91.8%, 77.2%, and 97.3% of their original values, respectively. The reductions in strength and stiffness were primarily attributed to a weakening in the bonding between the fibers and the polymer matrix. Fractographic analysis revealed that the failure of the plasticized and softened polymer matrix contributed to the observed reductions in strength. Interestingly, the short beam shear strength remained relatively unchanged, as the diffusion of water into the core of the bars at ambient temperatures had a minimal effect. This slower water diffusion in the core led to insignificant degradation of the short beam shear strength.Highlights GFRP bars were exposed to alkaline solution and natural weather for a decade. The water diffusion was a key factor in determining the residual properties of the GFRP bars. The absorbed water plasticises the polymer matrix in GFRP bars. The mechanical property losses in GFRP bars were associated with changes in the matrix property.

Enhancing Mode-I and Mode-II fracture toughness of carbon fiber/epoxy laminated composites using 3D-printed polyamide interlayers

Delamination is a critical concern in laminated composites, affecting their structural integrity and overall performance. This study investigates the enhancement of Mode-I and Mode-II fracture toughness in carbon fiber/epoxy (CF/EP) composites through the incorporation of 3D-printed polyamide (PA) interlayers. Vacuum-assisted resin transfer molding was utilized to fabricate composite laminates with and without 3D-printed PA interlayers. Comprehensive testing was conducted to assess the effect of 3D-printed PA interlayers on the Mode-I and Mode-II fracture toughness, interlaminar shear strength, and flexural properties, as well as thermomechanical response using dynamic mechanical analysis. The results revealed a significant improvement in critical energy release rates for both Mode-I and Mode-II (GIc and GIIc), increasing by 43.5% and 81.2% respectively, compared to the reference composites. This enhancement was primarily attributed to crack bridging and plastic deformation of PA filaments in the interlaminar region. Additionally, interlaminar shear strength increased by 17.4%. While the reference composites had a glass transition temperature of 117.3 °C, the PA-reinforced composites showed a slightly higher value at 119.6 °C, with no significant change in the glass transition temperature. tanδmax values increased from 0.321 to 0.576, suggesting better energy dissipation in PA-reinforced composites. However, flexural properties were adversely affected by the increased thickness and reduced fiber volume fraction due to the introduction of 3D-printed PA interlayers, with the flexural modulus decreasing by approximately 28% and the flexural strength by around 50%. These findings offer promising opportunities to enhance the performance of CF/EP composites under specific loading scenarios, thus expanding their potential applications across diverse industries.

Analysis of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC): determining the transition temperatures, and enthalpy and heat capacity changes in multicomponent systems by analytical model fitting

We have developed an analytical method to quantitatively analyze differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) experimental data. This method provides accurate determination of thermal properties such as equilibrium melting temperature, latent heat, change of heat capacity which can be performed automatically without intervention of a DSC operator. DSC is one of the best techniques to determine the thermal properties of materials. However, the accuracy of the transition temperature and enthalpy change can be affected by artifacts caused by the instrumentation, sampling, and the DSC analysis methods which are based on graphical constructions. In the present study, an analytical function (DSCN(T)) has been developed based on an assumed Arrhenius crystal size distribution together with instrumental and sample-related peak broadening. The DSCN(T) function was successfully applied to fit the experimental data of a substantial number of calibration and new unknown samples, including samples with an obvious asymmetry of the melting peak, yielding the thermal characteristics such as melting and glass transition temperature, and enthalpy and heat capacity change. It also allows very accurate analysis of binary systems with two distinct but severely overlapping peaks and samples that include a cold crystallization before melting.

The effect of modified carbon-doped boron nitride on the mechanical, thermal and γ-radiation stability of silicone rubber composites

The developing nuclear technology has increased the need for radiation-resistant and shielding materials. It is crucial to study the radiation resistance of polymers in order to prevent safety incidents brought on by the degradation of polymer performance in a nuclear environment. In this work, γ-aminopropyltriethoxy silane (KH550) was successfully grafted onto carbon-doped boron (BCN) to obtain modified BCN (BCN-KH550), then BCN-KH550 was added in silicone rubber and refined and vulcanized. The elongation at break of silicone rubber composite doped with 0.3 phr BCN-KH550 can retain (54 ± 2)% of the initial value. The addition of BCN and BCN-KH550 both increases the initial decomposition temperature of the irradiated SR. The radiation caused changes in crystallinity and glass transition temperature (Tg) were measured using differential scanning calorimetry. The difference Tg of BCN-KH550/SR0.3 before and after irradiation is 0.9 °C higher than that of SR. It is supposed that BCN protects the side group of SR during irradiation through differential thermogravimetric analysis curve and gas phase infrared spectra of the irradiation-induced gas products. BCN and BCN-KH550 can lower the hydrocarbon, CO2 and CO production by side chain breakdown in both air and nitrogen atmospheres. The presence of BCN and BCN-KH550 decrease the radiation crosslinking of SR. The outcomes demonstrate that BCN-KH550 can reduce the effects of γ-radiation crosslinking on SR by declining side chain decomposition.

Effects of Recycled Polymer on Melt Viscosity and Crystallization Temperature of Polyester Elastomer Blends.

As the world is paying attention to the seriousness of environmental pollution, the need for a resource circulation economy is emerging due to the development of eco-friendly industrial groups. In particular, the recycling of thermoplastic elastomers without cross-link has been highlighted in the plastics field, which has rapidly developed the industry. Growing interests have been directed towards the advancement of thermoplastic polyether-ester elastomer (TPEE) as a material suitable for the circular economy owing to its remarkable recyclability, both in terms of mechanical and chemical processes. Due to its excellent processability, simple mechanical recycling is easy, which is a driving force towards achieving price competitiveness in the process. In molding TPEE resin, it is essential to check the thermal properties of the resin itself because the thermal properties, including the melting and crystallization temperatures of the resin, depend on the design of the polymer. In this study, the thermal and mechanical performances of TPEE blends were evaluated by manufacturing compounds by changing the amount of recycled resin and additives. When the recycled resin was added, the melt flow index (MFI) changed rapidly as the temperature of the melt flow index measurement increased. Rapid changes in MFI make the fiber spinning process uncontrollable and must be controlled by optimizing the addition of compatibilizers. Based on the thermal property results, compatibilizers such as Lotader and Elvaloy series exhibited minimal change in glass transition temperature, even with greater amounts added. This makes them well-suited as compatibilizers for fiber spinning.
