Of the thermostable polymers on the market the American PMR-15 resin is a reference compound. Nevertheless, its defects have necessitated the development of new polymers such as IP960. The object of this work is to characterize IP960 which is soluble in the diglyme until the imide oligomer stage. HPLC and 1H NMR analyses of the prepolymer demonstrate its polymolecularity. Several isomer forms, due to possible conformations of the nadimide endcaps, are present in equal amounts in the medium. The combined use of differential scanning calorimetry and rheological techniques have allowed us to study and to explain the evolution of properties of the prepolymer with temperature (glass transition, crosslinking etc). Using FTIR spectroscopy, we have studied the structure of the polymer network. Our results seem to confirm the validity of the crosslinking diagram of nadic structures proposed by Wong and co-workers. Thermomechanical analysis of the crosslinked compound shows that the Tg of the polymer is close to 292 °C. It also reveals on the curb of the modulus G″, namely the presence of two peaks γ and β associated with secondary mechanical relaxations within macromolecular chains ( Tγ = −102 °C; Tβ =68 °C).

In this paper, a series of semi-interpenetrating polymer network materials based on poly ((2-dimethylamino) ethyl methacrylate)/poly (N, N-diethylacrylamide) (PDMAEMA/PDEA) were synthesized at room temperature. The influence of this additive on the property of resulting PDEA materials was investigated and characterized. The glass transition temperature (Tg) of the semi-IPN materials was observed by Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC). Compared to PDEA, the semi-IPN materials exhibited excellent mutative values in response to an alternation of the temperature, and showed fast swelling and deswelling rates in response to temperature change, which suggests that these materials have potential application as thermal infrared camouflage materials.

AbstractThe crystallization of bulk Zr48Nb8Cu14Ni12Be18metallic glass has been investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and X-ray powder diffraction. The activation energies of glass transition and crystallization for the glass obtained using Kissinger analysis from the shift of the peak temperature in the DSC curve are 470 and 235 kJ/mol, respectively. The effect of applied pressure on crystallization is studied by in situ high-pressure and high-temperature X-ray powder diffraction using synchrotron radiation. It is found that the crystallization temperature increases with pressure having a slope of 9.5 K/GPa in the range of 0-4.4 GPa.

Abstract The homopolymer of 4-chloromethylstyrene and its copolymers with styrene (in 1:3 and 1:1 mole ratio) were synthesized by bulk and solution freeradical polymerisations, respectively, at 70±1°C using α,α'-azoisobutyronitrile as an initiator. Highly sterically hindered tris(trimethylsilyl)methyl (Tsi) substituents were then covalently linked to the obtained homopolymer and copolymers. The polymers were characterized by IR, 1H NMR and 13C NMR, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and gel permeation chromatography. DSC showed that incorporation of Tsi substituents in the side chains of homopolymer and copolymers increases the rigidity of the polymers and, subsequently, their glass transition temperature.

AbstractWe present an overview for the basic fundamental of thermal analysis, which is applicable for educational purposes, especially for lecturers at the universities, who may refer to the articles as the references to “teach” or to “lecture” to final year project students or young researchers who are working on their postgraduate projects. Description of basic instrumentation [i.e. differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermogravimetry (TGA)] covers from what we should know about the instrument, calibration, baseline and samples’ signal. We also provide the step-by-step guides for the estimation of the glass transition temperature after DSC as well as examples and exercises are included, which are applicable for teaching activities. Glass transition temperature is an important property for commercial application of a polymeric material, e.g. packaging, automotive, etc. TGA is also highlighted where the analysis gives important thermal degradation information of a material to avoid sample decomposition during the DSC measurement. The step-by-step guides of the estimation of the activation energy after TGA based on Hoffman’s Arrhenius-like relationship are also provided.

Polymeric packaging materials are one of the factors of environmental pollution. Reducing the environmental burden is possible by increasing the environmental friendliness of packaging materials. In this work, we study polymer films based on polyvinyl chloride (PVC) with a copolymer of 3-hydroxybutyrate with 3-hydroxyhexanoate P (3-GB) (3-GG) with different component ratios. The process of processing blends in the process of obtaining a packaging film is considered. The optical characteristics of the obtained films are determined. Thermal analysis of the obtained films was carried out using the differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), TGA, and thermomechanical analysis (TMA) methods. The degree of gelling of the resulting mixture was determined. It is shown that PHB has miscibility with PVC.
