Mechanical Studies

The dynamic mechanical properties of Nafion precursor were determined as a function of the degree of conversion to the sodium ionomer, and those of the acid as a function of the degree of conversion to the cesium salt. A run was also made on the barium neutralized material, as well as on a remolded sample of a partly converted precursor. The precursor shows four dispersions which (in order of decreasing temperature) are identified with the glass transition, motions of the ether side chains, CF2 groups in the backbone, and pendant SO2F groups. Four relaxation regions are also seen in the ionomer, which are identified with the glass transition of the ionic regions and of the matrix, as well as with motions of the ether side chains and the backbone CF2 groups. While the polymers in the acid and the salt forms arc compatible, as seen by the gradual movement of the ionic glass transition peak to higher temperatures with increasing degree of neutralization, the salt and the precursor are not compatible. In the barium salt, the ionic glass transition peak occurs at a temperature close to the melting point of the crystalline regions, and most likely contains a contribution from that process also.

AbstractThe effects of the addition of mixed cations, i.e. Na+/Cs+, Ba2+/Cs+, and Ba2+/Zn2+, to the acid form sulfonated styrene copolymers on their dynamic mechanical properties and morphology were investigated. It was found that the matrix glass transition temperatures did not change with the ratio of the one cation to the other. As expected, however, the ratio of one cation to the other in the mixed cations affected cluster glass transition temperatures significantly. It was also found that the activation energies for the glass transitions for the matrix phase remained constant, while those for the cluster phase changed with the ratio of the two cations. In addition, the position of the SAXS peak was found to be affected by the type of cations. From the results obtained above, the decrease in the cluster Tg with increasing the amount of cesium and zinc cations in Na/Cs, Ba/ Cs, and Ba/Zn mixtures, were explained on the basis of the considerations of the size, charge, and type of cations, which alter the degree of clustering as well as ion-hopping mechanism.

The Matrix

The thermal and dynamic mechanical properties of random butyl acrylate- and plasticized ethyl acrylate-based vinylpyridinium ionomers have been investigated. The properties of the ionomers were found to be dependent on the glass transition temperature of the matrix material. Ionomers having a glass transition temperature lower than ca. 25 °C exhibited all the features associated with the presence of phase-separated microdomains or clusters while the materials with higher glass transition temperatures were not. It was also observed that the dispersion associated with the vinylpyridinium clusters for a butyl acrylate-based ionomer with 12 mol% of ionic units occurs at ca. 25 °C. This value is very close to that observed previously by Otocka and Eirich in their study of a butadiene-based vinylpyridinium ionomer with the same ion content. Keywords: ionomers, plasticization, clustering, glass transition, dynamic mechanical properties.

Poly (butyl methacrylate) (PBMA) was blended with a series of phenolic resins (PR) to study the effect of PR molecular weight on dynamic mechanical properties of PBMA/PR composites. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) found a similar variation of glass transition temperature (Tg). The maximum loss peak (tanδmax) improved in all PBMA/PR blends compared with the pure PBMA. However, tanδmax reduced as the molecular weight increased. This is because PR with higher molecular weight is more rigid in the glass transition zone of blends. The hydrogen bonding between PBMA and PR was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). Lower molecular weight PR formed more hydrogen bonds with the matrix and it had weaker temperature dependence. Combined with the results from DMA, we studied how molecular weight affected hydrogen bonding and thus further affected tanδmax.

Oxidative Ageing

In this work, the static and dynamic mechanical properties, crystallization behaviours, and morphology of long glass-fibre–reinforced polypropylene (PP) composites with thermo-oxidative ageing time from 0 day to 50 days at 120°C were investigated and discussed. The static mechanical properties showed a global decrease in tensile, bending and impact strengths with increasing ageing time. From the results obtained by scanning electronic microscopic observations, interface debonding clearly occurred between the glass fibre and PP matrix in the aged samples. The crystallinity ( Xc) of the composites was analyzed by differential scanning calorimetry; annealing process played the leading role in the early period of ageing, while as ageing progressed, the degradation of PP matrix dominated the ageing process and Xc decreased. The dynamic mechanical analysis results indicated that the storage modulus and glass transition temperature of the composites also decreased with prolonging ageing time. Then, the apparent activation energy ( E) of glass transition was calculated by the Arrhenius equation with different scanning frequencies. A higher value of E was obtained for the samples in the later ageing period, which means a higher energy barrier for glass transition.

Abstract A method for calculating the dynamic mechanical properties of elastomer blends with co-continuous structures has been presented. The calculations are based on Kerner's packed-grain model for composite media. Comparisons of theoretical calculations with experimental data show that this model closely approximates the viscoelastic properties of blends with a co-continuous structure, at least in the glass-transition regions of the respective blend components. We have also shown that the storage modulus of co-continuous blends may be well-represented by a discrete-particle model. This result can be misleading, however, if the storage modulus alone is calculated and compared with experimental data. A comparison of viscoelastic data (log E′ and tan δ) with calculation clearly distinguishes the models and indicates that the packed-grain model is the correct representation of the structure of co-continuous blends. The agreement between theory and experiment reported above was principally found in the glass-transition regions of the respective components in the elastomer blend. We extended the comparison well into the rubbery region and found that the agreement between Kerner's mean-field theory and the experimental data was poor, particularly for the loss tangent. Different relaxation mechanisms (relaxations over greater periods of time) are available to the blend in the rubbery region of viscoelastic response, and these mechanisms are apparently not accounted for in the mean-field calculations.

Abstract Automotive underhood electronics are subjected to high operating temperatures in the neighborhood of 150 to 200°C for prolonged periods in the neighborhood of 10-years. Consumer grade off-the shelf electronics are designed to operate at 55 to 85 °C with a lower use-life of 3 to 5 years. Underfill materials are used to provide supplemental restraint to fine-pitch area array electronics and meet the reliability requirements. In this paper, a number of different underfill materials are subjected to automotive underhood temperatures to study the effect of long time isothermal exposure on microstructure and dynamic-mechanical properties. It has been shown that isothermal aging oxidizes the underfill, which can change the mechanical properties of the material significantly. The oxidation of underfill was studied experimentally by measuring oxidation layer thickness using polarized optical microscope. The effect on the mechanical properties was studied using the dynamic mechanical properties of underfill with DMA (Dynamic Mechanical Analyzer). Two different underfill materials were subjected to three different isothermal exposure, which are below, near and above the glass transition temperature of the underfills. The dynamic mechanical viscoelastic properties like storage modulus, loss modulus, tan delta and their respective glass transition temperatures were investigated. Three point bending mode was used in the DMA with a frequency of 1 Hz operating at 3 °C/min.

Using interlayers of rubber adds a positive effect to the synergy of disruptor–absorber armors. Emerging from its viscoelasticity the material is able to transform mechanical stress into heat. The dynamic mechanical properties of elastomers depend on both ambient temperature and frequency of an applied mechanical load. The damping shows a maximum in the glass transition area. If the frequency of the glass transition is in the magnitude of the mechanical stress rate applied by ballistic impact, the elastomer will undergo the transition and thus show maximized damping. An ideal material for ballistic protection against small calibers is developed by making use of dynamic mechanical analysis and the time–temperature superposition principle. The material is later analyzed by ballistic experiments and compared to other nonideal rubbers with regard to glass transition temperature, hardness and damping. It is shown that by choosing a material correctly with certain glass transition temperature and hardness, the ballistic properties of a steel–rubber–aluminum armor can be enhanced. The chosen material (butyl rubber) with a hardness of 50 °ShA is able to enhance energy absorption during ballistic impact by around 8%, which is twice as good as other rubber with non-optimized properties.
