摘要: Intermolecular cooperativity and structural relaxations in PVDF/PMMA blends were studied this work with respect to different surface modified (amine, ∼NH2; carboxyl acid, ∼COOH pristine) multiwalled nanotubes (MWNTs) at 1 wt % near blend’s Tg the vicinity of demixing using dielectric spectroscopy, SAXS, DSC, WAXD. configurational entropy was addressed framework cooperative rearranging region (CRR) Tg. Because specific interactions between PVDF NH2-MWNTs, local composition fluctuates its average value resulting a broad The scale (ξCRR) number segments volume (NCRR) is comparatively smaller NH2-MWNTs. This clearly suggests that cooperatively relaxing reduced due leading more heterogeneity. Tg, as derived from Vogel-Fulcher Adam–Gibbs analysis, redu...
