Supramolecular polymer blends for composite matrices

This research project reports a new approach to thermoplastic composite matrix design, in which a low-MW polymer additive acts as a plasticiser and flow-promoter at high temperatures, but as a non-covalent cross-linking agent at lower temperatures. Thus, poly(aryl ether ketone)s (PAEKs) are function...
