The Semi-Interpenetrating Polymer Networks(Semi-IPNs) of poly(methyl methyacrylate/ethyl acrylate)(P(MMA/EA)) and polyurethane thermoplastic elastomer (PU) were synthesized by PU and copolymer of methyl methacrylate and ethyl acrylate to improve the compatibility of polymethyl methacrylate(PMMA) and PU Semi-IPNs . The structure and properties were investigated by Fourier transform infrared spectrometer, Solid nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometry, Dynamic mechanical thermal analysis and Mechanical properties. The tensile stress of (P(MMA/EA)/PU)( P(MMA/EA):PU=3:7) can get to 9.6MPa, the additional physical crosslinks and entanglement for Semi-IPNs are the reasons.

ABSTRACTHigh performance polymer network gels consisting of tetra-arm poly(ethyleneglycol) (Tetra-PEG) gels were fabricated via a module assembling method and their mechanical properties and structure were investigated by stretching and compression measurements, dynamic mechanical measurements, and small-angle neutron scattering (SANS). It was found that Tetra-PEG gels are nearly-ideal polymer network with negligible fractions of defects and entanglements. SANS intensity functions indicated that the network structure was uniform free from spatial inhomogeneities. It is deduced that this uniform structure is ascribed to its unique preparation method, i.e., module assembling method (cross-end-coupling of tetra-functional macromers with complementary functional groups). Characteristic properties originated from the near-ideality as polymer networks are demonstrated, including its application to ion gels, i.e., polymer network in ionic liquid.

ABSTRACTThis paper describes the synthesis, structure and properties of a new layered nanocomposite which may have applications in cementitious systems. This material is one example of a new class of materials which consist of inorganic crystals containing intercalated organic polymer. The nanocomposite is synthesized by precipitating Ca2Al(OH)6[X]·nH2O (X=OH−, CO3−2) in the presence of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA). X-ray diffraction analysis indicates that the nanocomposite consists of calcium aluminate layers separated by interlayers containing anions, water and PVA. The intercalation of PVA can only be accomplished during crystal growth and is accompanied by an expansion in layer spacing from ˜8 Å to ˜18 Å. The nanocomposite exhibited enhanced thermal stability and when compacted into a cylinder was found to have more than twice the compressive strength than the pure calcium aluminate.
