Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

We have been asked by the Editor of Polymers (MDPI) to coordinate a Special Issue entitled “Resin Additives—Spices for Polymers”.

This Special Issue is based on the general development trend of polymer materials, which is increasingly high-performance, composite, refined, intelligent and green. Adding resin additives (such as antioxidants, antistatic agents, foaming agents, flame retardants, lubricating oils, impact modifiers, plasticizers, colorants, fillers, etc.) to the polymer to improve the performance of the resin is a very effective means to achieve the above goals.

This Special Issue focuses on the design, synthesis and application of all new resin additives (such as resin additives with the advantages of high efficiency, good compatibility, good durability, high chemical stability, green environmental protection, non-toxic, low price, etc.), polymer modification technology and process control improvement means to improve the polymer's own performance, processing performance, molding performance, stability, and realizing the multi-function of its products, improving its use value, prolonging life and giving other special effects.

Considering your prominent contribution in this interesting research field, I would like to cordially invite you to submit a paper to this Special Issue through the webpage of the journal (S.I. Resin Additives—Spices for Polymers). The submitted manuscripts will then be fast track reviewed. I would very much appreciate it if you could let me know of your interest in the paper contribution at your earliest convenience. Research articles, review articles, perspectives, as well as communications and letters are also invited.

The article requirements in the Special Issue are the same as those in the general issue.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Polymers is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2700 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

Reverse osmosis membrane (ROM) technology has a series of advantages, such as a simple process, no secondary pollution, high efficiency, energy saving, environmental protection, and good separation and purification effects. High-performance semi-aromatic polyamide reverse osmosis membranes (ROMs) were prepared by interfacial polymerization (IP) of novel cyclopentanecarbonyl chloride (CPTC) and m-phenylenediamine (MPD) monomers. The surface morphology, hydrophilicity and charge of the ROMs were characterized by field-emission scanning electron microscopy (SEM), a contact angle tester and a solid-surface zeta potential analyzer. The effects of CPTC concentration, MPD concentration, oil-phase solvent type, IP reaction time and additive concentration on the performance of semi-aromatic polyamide ROMs were studied. SEM morphology characterization showed that the surface of the prepared polyamide ROMs presented a multinodal structure. The performance test showed that when the concentration of MPD in the aqueous phase was 2.5 wt.%, the concentration of sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate (SDBS) was 0.2%, the residence time in the aqueous phase was 2 min, the concentration of CPTC/cyclohexane in the oil phase was 0.13 wt.%, the IP reaction was 20 s, the NaCl rejection rate of the semi-aromatic polyamide ROM was 98.28% and the flux was 65.38 L/m2·h, showing good desalination performance. Compared with an NF 90 commercial membrane, it has a good anti-BSA pollution ability. Full article

Flame retardants (FRs) often reduce the mechanical properties of polymer materials, and FR/microcellular polyurethane elastomer (MPUE) composite materials have not been systemically studied. Hence, we conducted this study on FR/MPUE composites by using multiple liquid FRs and/or expandable graphite (EG). Compared with liquid flame retardants, the LOI of an expandable graphite/dimethyl methylphosphonate (EG/DMMP) (3:1) combination was significantly increased (~36.1%), and the vertical combustion grade reached V-0 without a dripping phenomenon. However, the corresponding tensile strength was decreased by 17.5%. With the incorporation of EG alone, although the corresponding LOI was not a match with that of DMMP/EG, there was no droplet phenomenon. In addition, even with 15 wt% of EG, there was no significant decline in the tensile strength. Cone calorimeter test results showed that PHRR, THR, PSPR, and TSR were significantly reduced, compared to the neat MPUE, when the EG content surpassed 10 wt%. The combustion process became more stable and thus the fire risk was highly reduced. It was found that flame retardancy and mechanical properties could be well balanced by adding EG alone. Our proposed strategy for synthesizing FR/MPUE composites with excellent flame retardancy and mechanical properties was easy, effective, low-cost and universal, which could have great practical significance in expanding the potential application fields of MPUEs.
