Nanocomposites were prepared by direct melt mixing and by masterbatch methods and the structure obtained was characterized by WAXD and TEM. The exfoliation and better dispersion of the organoclay was observed with KPPSA than PPMA. The dispersion of clay was found to be dependent on the method of preparation, type and the amount of compatibilizer used. The dispersion was better when the nanocomposites were prepared by two step masterbatch route than the single step direct mixing method. Flexural moduli and crystallization behavior were studied and correlated with the dispersion of organoclay in the PP matrix. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd.

	Glasses are emerging as promising and efficient solid electrolytes for all-solid-state sodium-ion batteries. However, they still suffer from poor ionic conductivity and crack-resistance, which need to be improved for better battery performance, reliability, and service life. The current study shows a significant enhancement in crack resistance (from 11.3 N to 32.9 N) for Na3Al (1.8) Si-1.65 P1.8O12 glass (Ag-0 glass) upon Na+ -Ag+ ion-exchange (IE) due to compressive stresses generated in the glass surface while the ionic conductivity values (similar to 10(-5) S/cm at 473 K) were retained. In this study, magic angle spinning-nuclear magnetic resonance (MAS-NMR), molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, Vickers micro hardness, and impedance spectroscopic techniques were used to evaluate the intermediate-range structure, atomic structure, crack resistance and conductivity of the glass. MAS-NMR and MD simulations confirm the presence of Si-OAl-O-P groups in the glass, thus enabling formation of Na percolated channel regions. AC-conductivity analysis for Ag-0 and ion-exchanged Ag-0 glass suggests that the mobility of Na+ ion increases with increasing temperature. It is observed that the measured mean square displacement (root &amp;lt; R-2(t(p))&amp;gt;) for sodium cations using AC-conductivity isotherms is nearly constant up to 448 K and then increases with increasing temperature up to 523 K. From the impedance spectra for ion-exchanged Ag-0 glass, it is identified that the increase in root &amp;lt; R-2 (t(nu))&amp;gt; and thereby, the mobility of sodium-ions for Ag-0 glass is due to the structural variations in the Ag-0 glass with increasing the temperature. Overall, the mechanisms presented in this article helps in formulating better glass based electrolyte materials for room temperature or high temperature sodium-ion batteries.

	Mechanical flexibility in molecular crystalline materials represents a compelling paradigm shift from the long-held perception of crystals as inherently brittle solids. Herein, we demonstrate a brittle-to-elastic transition by subtle molecular modification in a pair of structurally analogous aromatic amides; N-[(4-methoxyphenyl)methyl]formamide (N4MFA, Crystal 1) and N-benzylformamide (NBFA, Crystal 2). Despite their close structural similarity, Crystal 1 exhibits brittle fracture under minimal stress, whereas Crystal 2 shows 1D elastic flexibility with reversible bending. Structural, computational, and mechanical analyses reveal that this contrast arises from substituent-controlled supramolecular packing. In Crystal 1, the methoxy (-OCH3) group promotes dense, anisotropic packing, leading to rigidity and fracture under stress. Removing the substituent in Crystal 2 enhances isotropy, pi-pi stacking, and interlocked packing, enabling reversible strain during elastic bending. Nanoindentation, energy framework, and elastic tensor analyses confirm this transition: Crystal 2 shows near-isotropic stiffness (E max/E min = 1.65) and interconnected energy networks, whereas Crystal 1 exhibits pronounced anisotropy (E max/E min = 3.95) and 1D cohesion. Hirshfeld surface analysis supports more balanced contacts in the elastic crystal. This work establishes a direct structure-mechanical correlation, showing that minor chemical modifications can tune flexibility and provide insights to guide the development of adaptive crystalline materials.&lt;/p&gt;
