Grafting Onto

Citric acid (CA) was used as a grafted group onto polyurethane (PU) to form a CA-grafted PU series, with a control PU series containing free CA prepared for comparison. With an increase in the CA content, the enthalpy change during the melting increased for the PU and CPU series, and the glass transition temperature increased with the increase in CA content for the PU series but not for the CPU series. The tensile strengths of the PU series sharply increased with the CA content, whereas those of the CPU series did not. The PU series demonstrated better low-temperature flexibility and water permeability than the unmodified PU.

Water Uses

Latexes are dispersions of homopolymers and copolymers, usually in water. Uses of these latexes are many such as protective coatings and adhesives. In order to form a continuous film the polymer must have film forming properties such as a low glass transition temperature (Tg). Latexes are being designed such as one polymer in the core of the particle and a shell of another polymer or perhaps a series of shell layers. Microscopy has become a powerful tool in the examination of the morphology of the latex particles. Because of the use of low Tg polymers, sample preparation and examination by electron microscopy at temperatures above the Tg of the polymer causes the particles to become distorted and no longer representative of their true morphology. Low temperature methods therefore have become crucial in the field of latex microscopy.

Recently polymer nanocomposites[1,2] have been receiving special attention because of its advantages and unique properties in comparison to the traditional polymer composites.The structural transformation of Epoxy (cured by polyamide) and epoxy/Rectorite nanocomposite(with 0.5% rectorite content) is studied by PALS as a function of temperature from 30K to 490K. For Epoxy and Epoxy/Rectorite nanocomposite, the glass transition temperature (Tg) is observed to be 270K and 260K, the second transition temperature (Tγ) is 160K and 120K, the viscous flow temperature (Tf) is the same as 380K. The result shows that properties of the free-volume in nanocomposite have been changed by the rectorite platelets fully separated in material at low temperature. At the same time, we find that the intensity of o-Ps decreases with increase of the temperature at the softening temperature above the Te.
