New bismaleimide monomers, based on pure diaminobismides (DABIs) have been synthesized. In a number of cases the bismaleimide of the 2:1 (amine/anhydride) DABI adduct has been isolated as a pure compound, but where the starting DABI consisted of a mix of imide oligomers of the diamine and dianhydride (2:1, 3:2 and higher) the corresponding bismaleimide product was found also to have a similar composition ratio. This has been confirmed in one example by separation of the oligomer mix and characterization of the components. The utility of the various bismaleimides as monomers in composite matrices has been assessed by cocuring with the common coreactant, 3,3′-diallylbisphenol A. The physical properties and thermal stability of neat resin samples and laminates are reported as well as some mechanical properties.

AbstractIn the present research, polyaniline is used as a conducting polymer and polyvinyl alcohol is also used as a biopolymer, because of its mechanical properties and suitable processability. Also, silver nanoparticles are considered as a reinforcing agent of thermal stability, mechanical and antibacterial properties to prepare polyaniline-polyvinyl alcohol-silver nanocomposite. The synthesis of polyaniline-polyvinyl alcohol composite and polyaniline-polyvinyl alcohol-silver nanocomposite is performed through addition of polyaniline and silver in polyvinyl alcohol solution. In order to review thermal, mechanical and antibacterial properties of synthesized composite and nanocomposites, components with different weight rates are used. The obtained results from thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) tests also indicate promotion of thermal stability of polyaniline-polyvinyl alcohol-silver nanocomposite compared with pure polyvinyl alcohol in temperatures above 400°C. The results of Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy revealed the presence of polyaniline, polyvinyl alcohol and silver in the structure of polyaniline-polyvinyl alcohol-silver triple nanocomposite film. The obtained results from a review of antibacterial properties showed that polyaniline-polyvinyl alcohol-silver nanocomposites have antibacterial effects on two different types of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. The obtained results from a review of mechanical properties of nanocomposites showed that the greatest value of tensile strength (13.8 MPa) belonged to polyaniline-polyvinyl alcohol-silver (88%/9%/3% w/w) nanocomposites. Therefore, this is determined as an optimal triple nanocomposite. In addition, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) coupled with an energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) system was used to characterize the composition and structure of polyaniline-polyvinyl alcohol-silver nanocomposite film.

In this paper, Fe-OCAP/PU blends were prepared. The mechanical properties and thermal stability of the samples were studied by tensile tests and thermogravimetric analysis, respectively. Results showed that the mechanical properties and thermal stability of the samples were improved with the increase of Fe-OCAP content. The antibacterial property of Fe-OCAP and Fe-OCAP/PU films was investigated by agar diifusion method and shake flask method, respectively. Fe-OCAP and Fe-OCAP/PU films showed efficient antibacterial activity againstS.aureus.

Biopolymer cassava starch(ST)-chitosan(CS)/montmorillonite(MMT) nanocomposites were prepared in which MMT was used as nanofiller and diluted acetic acid was used as solvent for dissolving and dispersing cassava starch, chitosan and MMT. XRD and TEM results indicated the formation of an exfoliated nanostructure of ST-CS/MMT nanocomposites. Mechanical properties testing revealed that at the range of the MMT content from 1wt% to 5wt%, tensile strength of the composites increased from 30MPa to 37.5MPa. But the elongation at break fall from 28% to 22% with the increasing of MMT. Obviously, MMT had an enforced effect to the composites. TGA results showed that the nano-dispersed MMT improved the thermal stability of the matrix systematically with the increasing of MMT.

In this paper, lignin could partly replaced phenol to prepare lignin-phenolic(LPF) foam.The effects of amount of lignin on mechanical properties, thermal stability, fire-retardant and micro-structure of LPF foam. The results indicated that the addition of lignin decreased the brittleness and flexibility of foam, and the foam hole became larger in diameter and distributed more unevenly. When the lignin replacement amount was lower, the foam had regular foam hole structure and even distribution of foam hole, the size of foam hole increased with an increase of lignin content, SEM observations were in accordance with the early research of the mechanical properties of foams. And the addition of lignin slightly affected the fire-retardant and thermal stability of foam. When lignin replacement amount was 30% and 40%, the critical oxygen index of foam was even slightly higher than the pure PF foam.

PPC is a new biodegradable aliphatic polycarbonate with poor thermal stability and mechanical properties which is difficult to form sheets or films and so on. Through the addition of alkali lignin, thermal stability and mechanical properties of PPC was improved largely. PPC/ alkali lignin sheets could be prepared. DSC results showed that the thermal stability of PPC was improved by the introduction of alkali lignin. SEM showed good dispersion of alkali lignin particles into PPC matrix that resulted in good miscibility. Improved mechanical properties and thermal stability of PPC/ alkali lignin blends were attributed to stronger interfacial interaction of PPC and alkali lignin. These results indicate that blending PPC with alkali lignin is an efficient and convenient method to improve the properties of PPC.

The present project investigated the thermal stability of cold-setting refractory composites under high-temperature cycles. The proposed route dealt with the feasibility of using fillers with different particle sizes and studying their influence on the thermo-mechanical properties of refractory geopolymer composites. The volumetric shrinkage was studied with respect to particle sizes of fillers (80, 200 and 500 µm), treatment temperature (1050–1250 °C) and amount of fillers (70–85 wt.%). The results, combined with thermal analysis, indicated the efficiency of refractory-based kyanite aggregates for enhancing thermo-mechanical properties. At low temperatures, larger amounts of kyanite aggregates promoted mechanical strength development. Flexural strengths of 45, 42 and 40 MPa were obtained for geopolymer samples, respectively, at 1200 °C, made with filler particles sieved at 80, 200 and 500 µm. In addition, a sintering temperature equal to 1200 °C appeared beneficial for the promotion of densification as well as bonding between kyanite aggregates and the matrix, contributing to the reinforcement of the refractory geopolymer composites without any sign of vitrification. From the obtained properties of thermal stability, good densification and high strength, kyanite aggregates are efficient and promising candidates for the production of environmentally friendly, castable refractory composites.
