Abstract Sodium borate glasses with two different compositions have been prepared using cooling rates in the range 7 • 10-3 ◦C/s-2 • 102 °C/s. Structural characterization has been carried out by X-ray diffraction, and glass transition temperatures have been measured by Differential Scanning Calorimetry. The samples exhibit slightly different density values and glass transition temperatures. However, radial distribution functions appear extremely similar and the sodium coordination shell does not change in going from fast to slowly quenched glasses, showing that the short and medium range order is not affected by thermal treatment.

A series of random polysulfone/polyethersulfone (PSF/PES) copolymers were synthesized by the polycondensation of 4, 4'-isopropylidendiphenol, 4, 4΄-dihyolroxy diphenyl sulfone and 4, 4'-dichlorodiphenyl sulfone in the presence of K2CO3. We obtained a series of copolymers by changing the molar ratio of 4, 4΄-dihyolroxy diphenyl sulfone and 4, 4'-isopropylidendiphenol (it was marked as the ratio of S:A). The copolymers have the similar solubility with polyethersulfone. They also have high glass transition temperatures (Tg: 199°C~229°C) and 5% weight loss temperatures (4, 4'-isopropylidendiphenol: 4, 4΄-dihyolroxy diphenyl sulfone=1:1, Td5=497°C). At the same time the elongation at break is much higher than that of PES, while the tensile strength is a little lower than that of PES.
