Polyphenylene Oxide

Diallyl orthophthalate (DAOP) prepolymer was investigated as a reactive plasticizer to improve the processability of thermoplastics. The rheology of blends of DAOP prepolymer initiated by 2,3-dimethyl-2,3-diphenylbutane (DMDPB) and polyphenylene oxide (PPO) was monitored during the curing process, and their thermal properties and morphology in separated phases were also studied. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) results showed that the cure degree of the reactively plasticized DAOP prepolymer was reduced with increasing PPO due to the dilution effect. The increasing amount of the DAOP prepolymer led to a gradual decrease in the viscosity of the blends and the rheology behavior was consistent with the chemical gelation of DAOP prepolymer in blends. This indicated that the addition of the DAOP prepolymer effectively improved processability. The phase separation occurring during curing of the blend and the transition from the static to dynamic mode significantly influences the development of the morphology of the blend corresponding to limited evolution of the conversion around the gel point.

The effects of Modified NanoSiO2 Agents on the morphology and performance of ultra-high-molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) microporous membranes via thermally induced phase separation were investigated in this work. The NanoSiO2 was surface modified by silane coupling agent KH570 (KH570-NanoSiO2). Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) were performed to obtain crystallization of UHMWPE/white oil/ KH570-NanoSiO2 doped system. The morphology and performance of the prepared UHMWPE microporous membranes were characterized with scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and microfiltration experiments. The results showed that the morphology of UHMWPE membrane could be disturbed by KH570-NanoSiO2. Porosity and the rejection of Bovine serum albumin (BSA) of the blend membrane increased with increasing concentration of Modified NanoSiO2, while the water flux slightly decreased.

Complex Hydride

Mg-Li-Al alloy was prepared by ingot casting and then underwent subsequent reactive ball milling. A Mg-Li-Al-H complex hydride was obtained under a 0.4 MPa hydrogen atmosphere at room temperature, and as high as 10.7 wt% hydrogen storage capacity was achieved, with the peak desorption temperature of the initial step at approximately 65 °C. The evolution of the reaction during milling, as well as the effect of Li/Al ratio in the raw materials on the desorption properties of the hydrides formed, were studied by x-ray diffraction and simultaneous thermogravimetry and differential scanning calorimetry techniques. The results showed that mechanical milling increases the solubility of Li in Mg, leading to the transformation of bcc β(Li) solid solution to hcp α(Mg) solid solution, the latter continues to incorporate Li and Al, which stimulates the formation of Mg-Li-Al-H hydride. A lower Li/Al ratio resulted in faster hydrogen desorption rate and a greater amount of hydrogen released at a low temperature range, but sacrificing total hydrogen storage capacity.

Nitrate Salts

This study presents the energy storage potential of nitrate salts for specific applications in energy systems that use renewable resources. For this, the thermal, chemical, and morphological characterization of 11 samples of nitrate salts as phase change materials (PCM) was conducted. Specifically, sodium nitrate (NaNO3), sodium nitrite (NaNO2), and potassium nitrate (KNO3) were considered as base materials; and various binary and ternary mixtures were evaluated. For the evaluation of the materials, differential Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) to identify the temperature and enthalpy of phase change, thermal stability, microstructure, and the identification of functional groups were applied. Among the relevant results, sodium nitrite presented the highest phase change enthalpy of 220.7 J/g, and the mixture of 50% NaNO3 and 50% NaNO2 presented an enthalpy of 185.6 J/g with a phase change start and end temperature of 228.4 and 238.6 °C, respectively. This result indicates that sodium nitrite mixtures allow the thermal storage capacity of PCMs to increase. In conclusion, these materials are suitable for medium and high-temperature thermal energy storage systems due to their thermal and chemical stability, and high thermal storage capacity.

Soft Segments

Thermoplastic polyurethanes (TPUs) were synthetized with blends of poly(propylene glycol) (PPG) and poly(1,4-butylene adipate) (PAd) polyols, diphenylmethane-4,4′-diisocyanate (MDI) and 1,4-butanediol (BD) chain extender; different NCO/OH ratios were used. The structure and viscoelastic properties of the TPUs were assessed by infrared spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, X-ray diffraction, thermal gravimetric analysis and plate-plate rheology, and their pressure sensitive adhesion properties were assessed by probe tack and 180° peel tests. The incompatibility of the PPG and PAd soft segments and the segregation of the hard and soft segments determined the phase separation and the viscoelastic properties of the TPUs. On the other hand, the increase of the NCO/OH ratio improved the miscibility of the PPG and PAd soft segments and decreased the extent of phase separation. The temperatures of the cool crystallization and melting were lower and their enthalpies were higher in the TPU made with NCO/OH ratio of 1.20. The moduli of the TPUs increased by increasing the NCO/OH ratio, and the tack was higher by decreasing the NCO/OH ratio. In general, a good agreement between the predicted and experimental tack and 180° peel strength values was obtained, and the TPUs synthesized with PPG+PAd soft segments had potential application as pressure sensitive adhesives (PSAs).

Pressure Sensitive

Pressure sensitive adhesives made with blends of thermoplastic polyurethanes (TPUs PSAs) with satisfactory tack, cohesion, and adhesion have been developed. A simple procedure consisting of the physical blending of methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) solutions of two thermoplastic polyurethanes (TPUs) with very different properties—TPU1 and TPU2—was used, and two different blending procedures have been employed. The TPUs were characterized by infra-red spectroscopy in attenuated total reflectance mode (ATR-IR spectroscopy), differential scanning calorimetry, thermal gravimetric analysis, and plate-plate rheology (temperature and frequency sweeps). The TPUs PSAs were characterized by tack measurement, creep test, and the 180° peel test at 25 °C. The procedure for preparing the blends of the TPUs determined differently their viscoelastic properties, and the properties of the TPUs PSAs as well, the blending of separate MEK solutions of the two TPUs imparted higher tack and 180° peel strength than the blending of the two TPUs in MEK. TPU1 + TPU2 blends showed somewhat similar contributions of the free and hydrogen-bonded urethane groups and they had an almost similar degree of phase separation, irrespective of the composition of the blend. Two main thermal decompositions at 308–317 °C due to the urethane hard domains and another at 363–373 °C due to the soft domains could be distinguished in the TPU1 + TPU2 blends, the weight loss of the hard domains increased and the one of the soft domains decreased by increasing the amount of TPU2 in the blends. The storage moduli of the TPU1 + TPU2 blends were similar for temperatures lower than 20 °C and the moduli at the cross over of the moduli were lower than in the parent TPUs. The improved properties of the TPU1 + TPU2 blends derived from the creation of a higher number of hydrogen bonds upon removal of the MEK solvent, which lead to a lower degree of phase separation between the soft and the hard domains than in the parent TPUs. As a consequence, the properties of the TPU1 + TPU2 PSAs were improved because good tack, high 180° peel strength, and sufficient cohesion were obtained, particularly in 70 wt% TPU1 + 30 wt% TPU2 PSA.
