In this paper, the effects of antioxidants and processing parameters on the thermal stability and processability of sPS have been investigated. Experimental results indicate that a long processing duration and mechanic shearing force accelerate the thermal oxidation and addition of antioxidants into sPS can effectively improve color contamination and thermal stability. Furthermore, feasible estimation of sPS/PPO alloys for reflective cups of light emitting diodes (LEDs) have also been made, demonstrating that sPS/PPO alloys are potential candidates by the appropriate prescription of impact modifiers, flame retardants, and titanium dioxide.

By ultraviolet (UV)-assisted synthetic procedure, we have successfully prepared several UV curable organic/inorganic hybrid nanocomposites with excellent gas barrier capabilities, moderate hardness, and good adhesive strength. The experimental results reveal that the physical properties of nanocomposites depend on their chemical structures. Therefore, introduction of silicone and polyurethane (PU) into the Acrylics backbone dramatically raises the adhesive strength as well as refractive index and lowers the gas penetration. Furthermore, we have also applied lab-made nanocomposite g for the encapsulation of organic optoelectronic devices such as OLEDs, flexible OLEDs, and organic solar cells. With the package of lab-made nanocomposite g, the organic optoelectronic devices effectively resist the entry of moisture and oxygen in the air, extending the lifetimes. (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V.

In this paper, we have synthesized poly(4-vinylphenol) (PVPh) and polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanes-poly(4-vinylphenol) (POSS-PVPh) with low surface energies and investigated their surface properties. Experimental results reveal that the surface properties of PVPh and POSS-PVPh can be manipulated with the length of PVPh segment and POSS contents, respectively, resulting in the variation of intermolecular hydrogen bonding interactions. In addition, the surface energies of PVPh after thermal treatment of 180 degrees C for 24 h can be less than 20 mJ m(-2) and those of POSS-PVPh without thermal treatment can be less than 25 mJ m-2 while those of poly(tetrafluoroethylene)(PTFE) are 22 mJ m(-2).
