Through a common solution and casting method, low contents of cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) reinforced biodegradable poly(hexamethylene succinate) based composites were successfully prepared for the first time. CNC homogeneously dispersed in PHS matrix at low loadings, showing no obvious aggregation. PHS/CNC composites showed high thermal stability as PHS. As a heterogeneous nucleating agent, CNC promoted the crystallization of PHS under both nonisothermal and isothermal crystallization conditions. In addition, the higher the CNC content, the faster the crystallization of PHS/CNC composites. The heterogeneous nucleating agent role of CNC was directly confirmed by the crystalline morphology study; moreover, the crystal structure of PHS remained unmodified despite the presence of CNC. As a reinforcing nanofiller, CNC also improved the mechanical property of PHS, especially the Young’s modulus and yield strength. In brief, low contents of CNC may improve both the crystallization and mechanical property of PHS, providing an easy method to tune the physical property and promote the wider application of biodegradable polymers.

Poly(ethylene succinate-co-1,2-propylene succinate) (PEPS) is a novel aliphatic biodegradable polyester with good mechanical properties. Due to the presence of methyl as a side group, the crystallization rate of PEPS is remarkably slower than that of the poly(ethylene succinate) homopolymer. To promote the potential application of PEPS, the effect of cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) on the crystallization behavior, crystalline morphology, and crystal structure of PEPS was investigated in this research with the aim of increasing the crystallization rate. CNC enhanced both the melt crystallization behavior of PEPS during the cooling process and the overall crystallization rate during the isothermal crystallization process. The crystallization rate of PEPS became faster with an increase in CNC content. The crystalline morphology study directly confirmed the heterogeneous nucleating agent role of CNC. The crystal structure of PEPS remained unchanged in the composites. On the basis of the interfacial energy, the nucleation mechanism of PEPS in the composites was further discussed by taking into consideration the induction of CNC.

Abstract The aim of this work is to usher in tripled b-metric spaces, triple weakly $\alpha _{s}$ α s -admissible, triangular partially triple weakly $\alpha _{s}$ α s -admissible and their properties for the first time. Also, we prove some theorems about coincidence and common fixed point for six self-mappings. On the other hand, we present a new model, talk over an application of our results to establish the existence of common solution of the system of Volterra-type integral equations in a triple b-metric space. Also, we give some example to illustrate our theorems in the section of main results. Finally, we show an application of primary results.

Biodegradable poly(butylene succinate) (PBS)/Alfa fiber biocomposites were prepared through the compression molding method. Scanning electron microscopy images were acquired to assess the effects of reinforcement and homogenization of mixtures and to determine the characteristics of the microstructure. The rheological properties, melting, and crystallization behavior of neat PBS and its biocomposites were investigated. Regarding the thermal properties, it was observed that the presence of Alfa fibers facilitates the crystallization of the PBS matrix, which suggests that Alfa cellulose fiber acts as a nucleating agent. The rheological analysis suggests that the biocomposites show a better dynamic behavior with the addition of Alfa fibers. Indeed, the incorporation of fibers increased the complex modulus and complex viscosity of the composites. Also, increasing the percentage of fibers in the matrix induces percolation, the shift and change in the slope of Cole–Cole curve of the PBS/Alfa fiber composite compared to that of neat PBS indicate that the PBS microstructure has changed with the addition of fibers. Moreover, the improvement of biocomposites properties is believed to be largely attributable to the homogeneous dispersion of the Alfa fibers within the polymer matrix and also to the strong interfacial interactions between the two constituents.

The crystallization properties of P(3HB-co-4HB) modified with nucleating agent BN was studied. DSC is used to analyze the melting crystallization behavior and POM is used to characterize crystal structure and morphology. The results show the incorporation of BN decreased the spherulite size, increased the crystallization rate and improved the crystallization properties of P(3HB-co-4HB).
