✦ Synopsis

Abstract

Summary: A novel method was developed to prepare an exfoliated styrene butadiene rubber (SBR)/clay nanocomposite with a strong interface between the clay layers and the rubber. An exfoliation mechanism was proposed and verified based on X‐ray diffraction (XRD)/transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analyses of the intercalation/exfoliation phenomena after each step of the process. The significant improvements of mechanical properties may give the first evidence that both exfoliation and a strong interface play critical roles in nanoreinforcement.

## Abstract **Summary:** Blends of the poly(ether sulfone) derived from 4,4′‐biphenol and 4,4′‐dichlorodiphenylsulfone (Radel‐R™) with its homologous macrocyclic oligomers show greatly lowered melt viscosities relative to that of the parent polymer, potentially enabling more facile production and f
