Morphology: Blends
New words can come from blends, which are formed by taking parts of two existing words and combining them. Examples of blend words given include brunch from breakfast and lunch, motel from motor car and hotel, sitcom from situation and comedy, and breathalyzer from breath and analyzer. A portmanteau is a specific type of blend where two meanings are packed into one new word.
Dissertation presentation - Mcl-Scl PHA blend films for Cardiovascular Tissue...
Undergraduate project on the use of polymer blend films extracted from different species of bacteria to serve the purpose of promising biomaterials that can used for various medical applications such as bone and cardiovascular tissue engineering and also for different drug delivery therapies.
Immiscible blends
Immiscible blends are materials made from two polymers that do not fully mix and instead separate into distinct phases. While immiscible blends are usually weaker than pure polymers, they can be engineered to improve properties. The minor polymer phase can enhance the strength or toughness of the major polymer phase by dispersing as spheres, rods or in a co-continuous morphology. Adding a block copolymer or graft copolymer compatibilizer helps bond the phases together, allowing for more efficient transfer of stress between them. This makes immiscible blends stronger and higher performing.

The document provides an overview of projected trends in next-generation bioplastics. It states that bioplastic capacity is currently only 1% of total plastics production but is projected to grow 20-40% annually. Demand for durable bioplastics is increasing in packaging, electronics, and automotive applications, and these are expected to account for almost 40% of bioplastics in 2011 compared to 12% in 2010. Emerging technologies that could enable this transition include new biomass conversion processes to produce biobased monomers economically and drop-in replacements for petroleum-based monomers that will be first to market. Key players are working to improve biobased plastics from renewable resources like sugar cane, corn
Introduction to bioplastics
This document provides an introduction and overview of bioplastics. It defines key terms like biodegradable, biobased, and standards for compostability. The drivers for bioplastics include being renewable, having reduced environmental impact, and addressing end-of-life disposal issues. Projections show strong growth in bioplastics production and demand over the next 5 years. While compostable bioplastics are growing, durable bioplastic applications are expected to account for nearly 40% of the market by 2011 to address performance shortcomings of compostable plastics. Emerging technologies may expand bioplastic uses in electronics and automotive industries.
