Abstract
Currently, material extrusion 3D printing (ME3DP) based on fused deposition modeling (FDM) is considered a highly adaptable and efficient additive manufacturing technique to develop components with complex geometries using computer-aided design. While the 3D printing process for a number of thermoplastic materials using FDM technology has been well demonstrated, there still exists a significant challenge to develop new polymeric materials compatible with ME3DP. The present work reports the development of ME3DP compatible thermoplastic elastomeric (TPE) materials from polypropylene (PP) and styrene-(ethylene-butylene)-styrene (SEBS) block copolymers using a straightforward blending approach, which enables the creation of tailorable materials. Properties of the 3D printed TPEs were compared with traditional injection molded samples. The tensile strength and Young’s modulus of the 3D printed sample were lower than the injection molded samples. However, no significant differences could be found in the melt rheological properties at higher frequency ranges or in the dynamic mechanical behavior. The phase morphologies of the 3D printed and injection molded TPEs were correlated with their respective properties. Reinforcing carbon black was used to increase the mechanical performance of the 3D printed TPE, and the balancing of thermoplastic elastomeric and mechanical properties were achieved at a lower carbon black loading. The preferential location of carbon black in the blend phases was theoretically predicted from wetting parameters. This study was made in order to get an insight to the relationship between morphology and properties of the ME3DP compatible PP/SEBS blends.

Abstract
We report a facile method for fabricating polymer hierarchical structures, which are the engineered, ratchet-like microscale structures with nanoscale dimples, for the directional movement of droplets. The fabricated polymer hierarchical structures with no surface modifier show hydrophobic, superhydrophobic, or omniphobic characteristics depending on their intrinsic polymer properties. Further treatment with a surface modifier endows the polymer surfaces with superomniphobicity. The fabricated polymer substrates with no surface modifier enable the movement of the water droplet along the designed track at almost no inclination of the substrate.

Abstract
We present a possibility of tailoring the near-surface composition profiles of pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA) films by an exposure to atmospheres of different relative humidities (RHs). The statistical copolymer P(EHA-stat-20MMA) with a majority of ethylhexylacrylate (EHA) and a minority of methylmethacrylate (MMA), being cast from a toluene based solution, is chosen as a model system. The near-surface composition profile is probed with X-ray reflectivity. All probed samples show an enrichment of PMMA at the sample surface; however, the near-surface PMMA content strongly increases with increasing RH. The influence of the RH on the composition profile is present down to a depth of 50 nm. Therefore the surface tensions being derived from contact angle measurements do not show any measurable humidity dependence. In contrast, in a mechanical tack test with a smooth punch surface, a strong influence is probed. This observation can be explained by considering the integrated PMMA content over an appropriate near-surface region and the resulting impact on the cavitation process.

Abstract
Several methods to measure surface tension involve some inconveniences when applied to moderate or highly viscous polymer solutions. Therefore, an improved version of the weight drop method (WDM) is proposed here. In addition, a comparative analysis of methods is carried out, including the drop profile (DPM), the selected planes (SPM), the WDM and the one proposed here (WDSM), finding that the WDSM is as easy to apply as the SPM and the WDM, although in practical conditions it is much more accurate than either of them. Moreover, the WDSM allows to reproduce the results that can be obtained using DPM, but, in general, it is much easier to implement and apply than such method. The WDSM was used to determine surface tension in polystyrene or poly(methyl methacrylate) in styrene solutions, where the dependence of such property with polymer average molecular weight and polymer concentration was experimentally evaluated.

Abstract
We report ellipsometrically obtained adsorption isotherms for a carefully chosen test liquid on block copolymer films of Kraton G1650, compared with adsorption isotherms on homogeneous films of the constituent polymers. Standard atomic force microscopy images imply the outer surface of Kraton G1650 is chemically patterned on the nanoscale, but this could instead be a reflection of structure buried beneath a 10 nm layer of the lower energy component. Our test liquid was chosen on the basis that it did not dissolve in either component and in addition that it was nonwetting on the lower energy polymer while forming thick adsorbed films on pure substrates of the higher energy component. Our ellipsometry data for Kraton G1650 rule out the presence of segregation by the lower energy constituent to the outer surface, implying a mixed surface consistent with Cassie's law. We discuss implications of our findings and related work for the outer surface structures of block copolymer films.

Abstract
Wilhelmy plate measurements of contact angles with a series of test liquids are used to calculate the surface energies of two poly(ethylene-co-1-butene) random copolymers. Results from five methods of calculation are reported: one-liquid (Good-Girifalco and Neumann), two-liquid (harmonic mean and geometric mean), and three-liquid (Lifshitz-van der Waals acid-base) methods. We find that all five methods are sensitive to the choice of test liquids used for contact angle measurements, as previously reported, but consistent results are obtained if recommended combinations of liquids are used. The mean results of the three-liquid acid-base method are judged to be the most reliable and informative, leading to surface energies of 30.8 mJ/m2 for poly(ethylene-co-1-butene) copolymer composed of 92 mol% ethylene and 30.2 mJ/m2 for copolymer composed of 88 mol% ethylene.
