The study applies alternative, chilled extrusion technologies called solid‐state shear pulverization (SSSP) and solid‐state/melt extrusion (SSME) to neat, commercial PLA, and investigates the effect of the resulting morphological features upon the thermomechanical behavior. Although conventional, heated twin‐screw extrusion leads to significant thermal degradation of PLA chains, which in turn facilitates crystal growth due to enhanced chain mobility, chilled SSSP imparts chain defects and branching, which serve as heterogeneous nucleation sites in the polymer and promotes the formation of a rigid amorphous phase. A hybrid SSME process brings unique interplay of both chain architecture effects, resulting in a synergistic thermomechanical behavior involving the α' crystal polymorph formation. POLYM. ENG.

Microwave (MW) synthesis is one such technique that has attracted attention as a green, sustainable method. The reports of enhancement of formation rates and improved quality for MW driven reactions are intriguing, but the lack of understanding of the reaction mechanism and how coupling to the MW field leads to these observations is concerning. In this manuscript, the growth of a metal nanoparticles (NPs) in a microwave cavity is spectroscopically analyzed and compared with the classical autocatalytic method of NP growth to elucidate the underpinnings for the observed enhanced growth behavior for metal NPs prepared in a MW field. The study illustrates that microwave synthesis of nickel and gold NPs below saturation conditions follows the Finke-Watzky mechanism of nucleation and growth. The enhancement of the reaction arises from the size-dependent increase in MW absorption cross section for the metal NPs. For Ni, the presence of oxides is considered via theoretical computations and compared to dielectric measurements of isolated nickel NPs. The study definitively shows that MW growth can be modeled by an autocatalytic mechanism that directly leads to the observed enhanced rates and improved quality widely reported in the nanomaterial community when MW irradiation is employed.}, number={10}, journal={ACS NANO}, publisher={American Chemical Society (ACS)}, author={Ashley, Bridgett and Vakil, Parth N. and Lynch, Brian B. and Dyer, Christopher M. and Tracy, Joseph B. and Owens, Jeffery and Strouse, Geoffrey F.}, year={2017}, month={Oct}, pages={9957–9967} }
