Description

Tuning the coefficients of thermal expansion (CTE) of materials is necessary to control performance and extend the operational life of precision equipment. Herein, we report the strategy of creating 3-component composite materials from the thermoplastic poly(ethylene), zinc cyanide as a solid with a negative coefficient of thermal expansion (NTE), and ionic liquid 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide ([EMIM][TFSI]) as an interfacial agent that enhances the polymer/sol...
