Poly(arylene ether)s, poly(arylene ether imidazole)s and poly(arylene ether coimidazole)s are under investigation as part of a structure/property relationship study. The objective of this study is to identify polymers or copolymers with an attractive combination of properties for use as toughening agents for epoxies. The copolymers are being studied as possible toughness modifiers for epoxy resins because of their high glass transition temperatures, their high toughness and the ability of the active hydrogen on the imidazole moiety to react with the oxirane ring of epoxies. Homopolymers and copolymers were characterized by differential scanning calorimetry, thermal gravimetric analysis, thin-film tensile properties and neat resin flexural and toughness properties.

AbstractSynthesis, characterization and application of diaminomaleonitrile (DAMN)-functionalized polystyrene grafts were studied. Dibenzoyle peroxide (BP) was used as an initiator. Optimum conditions for grafting were found to be c(DAMN) = 0.5 M, c(BP) = 0.016 M, θ = 85 °C and t = 4 h. Water uptake of the polystyrene graft membranes was found to increase with the increase of the grafting yield. The chemical structure, thermal characteristics and thermal stability of the obtained membranes were investigated by means of FTIR spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, and thermal gravimetric analysis. Polystyrene graft membrane with the degree of grafting of up to 96 % was found to be useful for the pervaporation separation of phenol/water mixtures.

AbstractThis paper reports the preparation of the amine/epoxy blends with various amines such as 4,4′-diaminodiphenylsulfone (DDS), one nitrile side chain-containing diamine (BDB), and phthalonitrile-containing amine (APN). Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), rheological analysis, and thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) were used to evaluate the curing behaviors and thermal properties of amine/epoxy blends with the effect of functional nitrile groups of amines. Interestingly, an amine/epoxy blend exhibited double curing reactions. The cured epoxy copolymers exhibited high glass transition temperatures (>220°C) and excellent thermal stabilities having 5% weight loss temperature in the range of 375°C to 383°C.

The solution polycondensation of 1-(4-aminophenyl)-5(6)-aminoindane (DAPI) with a number of commercially available dianhydrides using the two-step ester-acid solution imidization route is described. High molecular weight polyimides were successfully synthesized from a 1:1 molar ratio of dianhydride to diamine. These film-forming systems have high glass transition temperatures (331–368 °C) and very good short-term thermal stability as judged by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA). The fully cyclized polyimides are also highly soluble in common solvents.

This paper describes the preparation, characterization and properties of nanostructured composite materials based on poly(butylene adipate-co-polycaprolactam) (PBA-co-PCL)/multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and polycaprolactone (PCL)/MWCNTs. The polymer/MWCNTs nanocomposites were prepared by mixing the polymers with various amounts of MWCNTs using both solution and melt blending processes. The dispersion of MWCNTs into the polymer matrix was analyzed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and the thermal stability of the nanocomposites was studied by thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA). Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) was used to study the crystallization and melting behaviour of the polymer matrices containing the MWCNTs.

Ethyl cellulose based acrylate (AEC), an ethyl cellulose based macromonomer, was successfully synthesized by the esterificaiton reaction between ethyl cellulose and acryloyl chloride in homogeneous media and characterized by FTIR,1H NMR,13C NMR, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA). The results showed that acrylic group was facilely grafted onto the backbone of ethyl cellulose. In addition, AEC was proved to be able to homopolymerize and copolymerize with other monomers such as butyl acrylate in the presence of free radical polymerization initiator. We believed that development of AEC together with the analysis of its structure and properties would contribute to further utilization of cellulose based materials.

Abstract In this research, bio-based polyamide (bio-PA) was synthesized from dimethyl furan-2,5-dicarboxylate and 1,3-cyclohexanedimethanamine by melt polymerization. The properties of bio-PA were analyzed by Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FTIR), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA), respectively. The results show that this bio-PA presents high glass transition temperature (Tg) from 150°C to 180°C and poor crystallization due to the asymmetric rigid structure of cyclohexane and furan. Its molecular weight is low, ascribing to the large steric hindrance from cyclohexane and furan, and the side reaction of N-methylation and decarboxylation. Besides, the results of solubility reveal that this bio-PA can be dissolved in DMSO, DMF and DMAC.

New bismaleimides have been synthesised from diamines derived from benzophenone, 1,2-diphenylethane, 1,4-diphenylbutane, 2, 3-diphenylquinoxaline and 2, 3-diphenylnaphtho[2, 3-b]pyrazine. Cure profiles have been established by both differential scanning calorimetry (Dsc) and dynamic mechanical thermal analysis (DMTA). Cured resins prepared from the bismaleimide monomers were studied by thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) with all materials exhibiting good thermal and thermo-oxidative stability.

The service performance of current dental composite materials, such as anterior and posterior restoratives and/or veneer cements, needs to be improved. As part of a comprehensive effort to find ways to improve such materials, we have launched a broad spectrum study of the physicochemical and mechanical properties of photopolymerizable or visible light cured (VLC) dental composites. The commercially available VLC materials being studied are shown in Table 1. A generic or neat resin VLC system is also being characterized by SEM and TEM, to more fully understand formulation variables and their effects on properties.At a recent dental research meeting, we reported on the differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) characterization of the materials in Table 1. It was shown by DSC and DMA that the materials are substantially undercured by commonly used VLC techniques. Post curing in an oral cavity or a dry environment at 37 to 50°C for 7 or more hours substantially enhances the cure of the materials.

AbstractMicrospheres with phase change properties were fabricated by polymerization of hexadecyl acrylate (HA) and different cross-linking agents. The samples were characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA). The results show that, the samples that added cross-linking agents have a smooth surface and the latent heat of them is different. The experiments show that all of the cross-linked copolymer shells can be made into temperature controlled release microspheres. These materials can be potentially applied in the field of thermal energy storage. β-tricalcium phosphate was encapsulated in microspheres to obtain one with a fast release effect. It will effectively promote bone conduction when these microspheres were implanted into a bone defect. This microsphere can be used for orthopedic implant or coating of instrument in the future.

A series of different generation hyperbranched polyurethane(HBPU) was synthesized based on the raw materials of isophorone diisocyanate(IPDI) and diethanolamine(DEOA). Their structure, thermal degradation mechanism and glass transition temperature(Tg) were characterized by fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FTIR), nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy(NMR), thermal gravimetric analysis(TGA) and differential scanning calorimetry(DSC). The results showed that: the yield of each generation HBPU was up to 90%, different generation HBPU had almost the same initial degradation temperature(about at 200°C) and they all had two decomposition platforms; with the increase of generation, Tg increased from 107.2°C to 132.1°C. The gloss and hardness of the HBPU coatings were significantly improved.
