Thermal Degradation Temperature

To characterize a suitable biomass for alkaline peroxide treatment, four types of lignocellulosic biomass (rice straw, two Miscanthus spp., and Japanese cypress) were characterized using thermogravimetric analysis. Before the alkaline peroxide treatment, rice straw had the lowest initial thermal degradation temperature and Japanese cypress had the highest. After alkaline peroxide treatment, this trend was reversed, such that the highest initial thermal degradation temperature was for alkaline-peroxide treated rice straw. Hemicellulose and lignin content significantly affected the thermal degradation behavior and alkaline peroxide treatment efficiency. Among the four lignocelluloses, raw rice straw exhibited the highest reducing capability, whereas the treated rice straw exhibited the lowest reducing capability. Surface morphology and crystallinity indicated that when the rice straw was subjected to AP treatment at room temperature for 10 min, crystalline cellulose microfibrils were exposed and concentrated on the surface. Thus, among the samples tested, rice straw was found to be the most suitable biomass for alkaline peroxide treatment.

In this study, syndiotactic Polypropylene/Starch (sPP/starch) composites were prepared using a solution mixing technique. The thermal characterization was performed using Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC), and the melting point was measured for all polymer composites. The thermal degradation temperature was measured using thermal gravimetric analysis. The viscoelastic measurements were performed using the Atomic Rheometric Expansion System (ARES). Both melting point and thermal degradation temperatures were found to decrease with increasing starch content. Moreover, the elastic modulus was found to decrease when the starch content increased.

Composite nanofibres of poly (lactic acid) (PLA) with polyaniline (PANI) or poly (aniline-co-m-aminobenzoic acid) (P (ANI-co-m-ABA)) were prepared by electrospinning. Thermal effects on the properties of the composite nanofibres were studied by means of DSC and TGA. TGA results show that the onset thermal degradation temperature of the composite fibres was slightly higher than that of pure PLA. The degree of the crystallinity of the nanofibres was determined from DSC data and compared to film with the same composition.

Abstract Phosphorus/nitrogen flame retardant ammonium three phosphoric acid glycerol ester (FR) with reactive -P-O−NH4+ groups was synthesized from glycerol, phosphoric acid and urea. At high temperature, the -P-O−NH4+ group in FR is decomposed into -P-O−H+ group. Under the action of catalyst dicyandiamide, -P-O−H+ forms phosphonic anhydride. Phosphonic anhydride can dehydrate and condense with the hydroxyl group on the 6-position carbon atom in the glucose ring of cotton fiber, forming a firm P-O-C bond, thus fixing FR molecule firmlyon cotton fiber. XRD suggested that the finishing process only slightly affected the cotton fiber structure and the surface morphology, elemental composition of char residues in cotton fabrics were tested by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS). Confirmed that FR was grafted well with slight damage to the cotton structure. When the treated cotton with 25.3% weight gain(WG) in FR, the treated cotton has self extinguishing property and passed UL-94 vertical burning V-0 classification, the limiting oxygen index (LOI) was improved from 17.0–40.5%, and the LOI can still reach 30.9% after 50 laundering cycles, the cone calorimetry(CONE) analysis indicated that the peak heat release rate (PHRR) of the treated cotton was reduced from 190.3 kW/m2 to 17.9 kW/m2, and the total heat release (THR) was reduced from 2.8 MJ/m2 to 1.8 MJ/m2, The thermogravimetric(TG) and Differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) showed that the addition of FR inhibited the initial thermal degradation temperature of the treated cotton under heating conditions, and TG showed that the initial thermal degradation temperature of treated cotton in nitrogen and air was 225.9 ℃ and 221.8 ℃, respectively, which was lower than that of untreated cotton. The mechanical properties are in the usable range, which showed that treated cotton have excellent flame retardancy, durability and good flexibility.

This work successfully prepared an UV curable organic-inorganic hybrid material consisting of organic modified colloidal silica. Applications of UV curable organic-inorganic hybrid materials include abrasion resistant coatings, photo-patternable thin films and waveguides. Colloidal silica containing reactive functional groups were also prepared by reacting organic silane and tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) using sol-gel process. In addition, the efficiency of grafting organic moiety onto silica nanoparticles was investigated by applying TGA and FTIR techniques. Experimental results indicated a strong interdependence between surface modification efficiency and solution pH. Acrylate-SiO2 hybrid formation could result in a shifting of thermal degradation temperature of organic component from about 200°C to near 400°C. In addition, the stability of organic modified colloidal silica in UV curable formula and the physical properties of resulting coatings were discussed. Furthermore, the morphology of organic modified colloidal silica was investigated by performing TEM and SEM studies‥

The Impact

Non-degradable properties of polyethylene (PE) films due to long-chain structure cause increment of solid waste plastic. Many researchers, with different purposes, have studied the incorporation of functional materials to PE. Studying the impact of incorporation of aloe vera (AV) into PE films in terms of its characteristic and mechanical properties is the main objective of this paper. The films were prepared using melt-blending and hot press technique. The characterization assessed for the PE and PE-AV films were spectroscopy, crystalline phase, thermal analysis and performance of mechanical properties of the sample.  The functional group detected in spectroscopy studied did not show any changes for PE film or PE with the presence of AV. Lower thermal degradation temperature (Td) obtained for PE-AV3 while others film found no significant changes of Td value and only one peak of thermal degradation occurred for all film. The same goes to the analysis obtained from differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) data. However, the crystalline structure displayed momentous peak changes for PE with AV. The highest tensile strength (TS) obtained by PE-AV3, at once developing highest value of Young’s modulus (YM), modulus of resilience (UE) and modulus of toughness (UT). A certain amount of AV has substantial effect on changing the polymeric structure especially improving the mechanical properties of PE film. Therefore, AV has potential to become an additive for developing a new partially degradable PE film.
