By utilizing four different types of typical compatibilizers and dicumyl peroxide (DCP), toughening modification was performed on the blend system of polylactic acid/acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymer (PLA/ABS). The compatibility and crystallization properties of the blend system were characterized and tested through mechanical property tests, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The results showed that the addition of compatibilizers could form a better dispersed "sea-island" phase structure in the blend system, with the tensile strength and impact strength increasing by up to 18.23% and 21.98%, respectively, although the crystallization capability decreased. With the addition of both compatibilizers and DCP, the phase structure of the blend system transformed into coexisting "sea-island" and "sea-sea" phases, with the maximum increases in tensile strength and impact strength of 47.99% and 86.64%, respectively. The compatibilizers and DCP synergistically enhanced the toughening effect on the blend system and improved its crystallization capability. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The glassy state of inorganic-organic hybrid metal halides combines their excellent optoelectronic properties with the outstanding processability of glass, showcasing unique application potential in solar devices, display technologies, and plastic electronics. Herein, by tailoring the organic cation from N -phenylpiperazine to dimethylamine gradually, four types of zero-dimensional antimony halides are obtained with various optical and thermal properties. The guest water molecules in crystal ( N -phenylpiperazine) 2 SbCl 6 ·Cl·5H 2 O lead to the largest distortion of the Sb-halogen unit, resulting in the red emission different from the yellow emission of other compounds. More importantly, the water molecule-induced hydrogen-bond network in ( N -phenylpiperazine) 2 SbCl 6 ·Cl·5H 2 O would prolong the relaxation time into an equilibrium state, resulting in the formation of the glassy state. This is different from the previous strategy of adopting large organic cations for glass transition. Through rheological studies, we shape an initial understanding of the underlying kinetics in inorganic-organic hybrid metal halide glass. This work provides a simpler and more convenient approach for developing inorganic-organic hybrid metal halides with superior processing performance.
