The sustainable biomass cardanol grafting onto neoprene (CR) rubber was carried out successfully at room temperature by covalently binding to CR via click chemistry to realize the internal plasticization of CR rubber. The structure of the synthesized product was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and proton nuclear magnetic resonance, and differential scanning calorimetry and thermogravimetric analysis demonstrate a lowering of the glass transition temperature of the CR-propargyl ether cardanol as compared to CR. This confirms the plasticization effect of the cardanol when grafted onto CR. The cardanol as an internal plasticizer also has a good thermal stability and almost near-zero migration.

AbstractSeveral novel ether or thioether linkage containing aliphatic polyesters and poly(alkylene dicarboxylate)s were synthesized for comparison and characterized in terms of chemical structure and molecular weight. The thermal behavior was examined by thermogravimetric analysis and differential scanning calorimetry. All the polymers showed a good thermal stability, even though lower for the ether or thioether linkage-containing polyesters. The decrement of the thermal stability appears to be more relevant in the case of the presence of sulphur atoms. At room temperature the samples appeared semicrystalline, except PTTDG and PDEDG, which were viscous oils; the effect of the introduction of ether or thioether group was an increment of the Tgvalue, a decrement of the melting temperature and a significant decrease of the crystallization rate. The entity of the variations was found to be affected by the kind of group introduced, and the trend observed can be explained on the basis of atom electronegativity and dimensions

Indole-based poly(ether sulfone)s (PINESs), as novel high-performance polymers, have been obtained by the condensation polymerization of 4-hydroxyindole and hydroquinone with activated difluoro monomers via a catalyst-free nucleophilic substitution reaction. The structures of the polymers are characterized by means of Fourier transform infrared and proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, and the results show good agreement with the proposed structures. Differential scanning calorimetry and thermogravimetric analysis measurements exhibit that polymers possess high glass transition temperature ( Tgs > 245°C) and good thermal stability with high decomposition temperatures ( Tds > 440°C). In addition, due to their special structure, PINESs are endowed with significantly strong photonic luminescence in N, N-dimethylformamide.

A new series of aniline and aniline-mixed tetrafunctional fluorene-based oxazine monomers were synthesized using 2,7-hydroxy-9,9-bis-(4-hydroxyphenyl) fluorene, paraformaldehyde, and primary amines (including aniline or aniline mixed with n-butylamine or n-octylamine composition). Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy were used to characterize the structure of the monomers. The copolymers were obtained by adding the monomers into a typical monofunctional polybenzoxazine (phenol-aniline-based benzoxazine). Differential scanning calorimetry, thermogravimetric analysis, and dynamic mechanical analysis were performed to study the thermal properties of the copolymers. The copolymers exhibited high glass transition temperature values (164–201°C). A good thermal stability was also obtained with a 5% weight loss temperature over 355°C and high char yields at 800°C (42–50%).

AbstractA series of thermotropic liquid crystalline poly(amide imide)s (PAIs) with well-defined structure were prepared by the Yamazaki-Higashi phosphorylation method. To obtain the target polymers, several diimide diacid monomers (DIDAs) as mesogenic units were synthesized by the dehydration cyclization of aromatic anhydride with aliphatic 11-aminoundecanoic acid (AU). The chemical structure of these DIDAs and PAIs was confirmed via Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H-NMR) spectroscopy. Thermotropic liquid crystalline characteristics of the DIDAs and PAIs were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), polarizing light microscopy (PLM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis. Encouragingly, all of these liquid crystalline PAIs exhibited good thermal stability, in which the decomposition temperatures are much higher than the melting temperatures of PAIs. Furthermore, the liquid crystalline PAIs can be dissolved into some common solvents such as dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and m-cresol, which indicates these liquid crystalline PAIs could be processed not only by melting-processing but also by solution spin-coating.

Designing novel low-melting, high-rigidity phthalonitrile resin is of great significance in the current context of development. In this study, rigid spirocycle acetal structure was introduced into phthalonitrile to reduce the melting point and maintain their thermal stability. The chemical structure of resins was confirmed by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectrometry, matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time of flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometry and Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. The curing behaviors were studied by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Thermal stability and mechanical properties of the cured resins were investigated by dynamic mechanical thermal analysis (DMTA) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The processability was studied by rheological analysis. The results indicated the three monomers had a low melting temperature, wide processing windows and low viscosities. These polymers did not exhibit Tg from room temperature to 400°C, exhibited superb dynamic mechanical property and thermal stability.

In this study, hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) nanosheets and Bombyx mori silk fibroin (SF) proteins were combined and electrospun into BNSF nanofibers with different ratios. It was found that the surface morphology and crosslinking density of the nanofibers can be tuned through the mixing ratios. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy study showed that pure SF electrospun fibers were dominated by random coils and they gradually became α-helical structures with increasing h-BN nanosheet content, which indicates that the structure of the nanofiber material is tunable. Thermal stability of electrospun BNSF nanofibers were largely improved by the good thermal stability of BN, and the strong interactions between BN and SF molecules were revealed by temperature modulated differential scanning calorimetry (TMDSC). With the addition of BN, the boundary water content also decreased, which may be due to the high hydrophobicity of BN. These results indicate that silk-based BN composite nanofibers can be potentially used in biomedical fields or green environmental research.

During long-term and high temperature service, microstructures of superalloys may change and then have an adverse impact on mechanical properties, so the stabilities of a wrought Ni-base superalloy aging without stress at 650°C were investigated in this paper. The results showed that the size and morphology of γ' precipitates in the alloy were not obviously influenced with the increase of exposure time, and primary MC carbides present excellent thermal stability. Moreover, almost no detrimental phase was found. Tensile strength and plasticity at room temperature after aging remained steady. Under the condition of 650°C/823MPa, the stress ruptures life presented increasing trend overall and plasticity decreases slightly. In conclusion, the experiment alloy presents a good thermal stability at 650°C.

Three new organic-soluble polyimides (PIs) bearing flexible thioether linkages, thiazole, and pyridine ring units were synthesized from a novel thioether-bridged diamine monomer and commercially available aromatic dianhydrides (1–3) via chemical imidization method. The resulting polymers were obtained in high yields and possessed inherent viscosities in the range of 0.67–0.89. The PIs are characterized by Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), differential scanning calorimetry, and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). All of the PIs exhibited excellent solubility in polar solvent. The polymers showed good thermal stability with glass transition temperatures ( Tgs) in the range of 194–244°C, and decomposition temperatures ( T5%) exceeding 300°C were observed using TGA in nitrogen atmosphere for the current polymers.
