Different polymers were prepared by condensation polymerization of sebacic anhydride and adipic anhydride with ethylene glycol and poly(ethylene glycol). Their number average molecular weights were determined by end group analysis. Then, they were grafted on the prepared phthalocyaninatocopper(II) compounds with the general formula (NH2)4PcCu(II) having amino groups of 3,3',3'',3'''- or 4,4',4'',4'''- positions. All prepared polymers, compounds, and phthalocyaninatocopper(II)-grafted polymers were characterized by FTIR. The sizing measurements were carried out in 3,3',3'',3'''- (NH2)4PcCu(II) and 4,4',4'',4'''- (NH2)4PcCu(II) compounds with and without grafting polymers. The results showed that the grafting process led to decreasing in particle size and increasing in surface area. The grafting process was reflected positively on the thermal degradation of 3,3',3'',3'''- (NH2)4PcCu(II) and 4,4',4'',4'''- (NH2)4PcCu(II) grafted polymers. They had higher thermal stability accompanied with higher char residue and T50% weight loss with 3,3',3'',3'''-(NH2)4PcCu(II) and their grafted polymers being the best.

The organic ligand 2-Thenoyltrifluoroacetone (TTA) which was selected as molecular bridge for sensitization of europium and terbium ions were modified by 3-(triethoxysilyl)-propylisocyanate (TEPIC) to obtain the hybrid precursor TTA-Si. Then the solution of Eu(NO3)3 and Tb(NO3)3 were added in the presence of tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS). The binary lanthanide organic/inorganic hybrid material were obtained. The ternary hybrid materials were obtained by adding the solution of Eu(NO3)3 and Tb(NO3)3 and Poly (ethylene glycol) (PEG400). We investigated the thermal stability and luminescence properties of hybrids and found that the ternary hybrid materials exhibit better thermal stability and stronger emission intensity. Furthermore, compared with the binary mesoporous material Eu-(TTA-Si)3 and Tb-(TTA-Si)3, the ternary mesoporous material Eu-(TTA-Si)3-PEG and Tb-(TTA-Si)3-PEG exhibits the characteristic emission of the Eu3+ and Tb3+ ion with a higher luminescence intensity, suggesting that the introduction of PEG is of benefit for the sensitization of Eu3+ and Tb3+ luminescence, by replacing H2O groups that can quench the luminescence of Eu3+ and Tb3+ ions.

AbstractIonic liquid [bmim]PF6 (1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluoro phosphate) was synthesized and characterized. It was used as the plasticizer for poly(L-lactide) (PLLA). The glass transition temperature (Tg) and the thermal stability of the plasticized PLLA samples were measured by thermogravimetry (TG) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Compared with poly(ethylene glycol) having Mw of 300 g/mol (PEG300), TG results showed that the thermal stability of PLLA plasticized with ionic liquid was better than that of PLLA plasticized with PEG300. The Tg of plasticized PLLA decrease with increasing the content of ionic liquid [bmim]PF6 from 2 wt.% to 10 wt.%. The Tg of PLLA can be reduced to 40°C when the content of ionic liquid [bmim]PF6 was 10 wt.%. The materials of PLLA with plasticizer were also investigated using polarizing microscope (POM), the results of which indicate that the movements of PLLA chains were improved when ionic liquid plasticizer was used.
