AbstractThe frontal polymerization technique has been successfully applied, for the first time, to obtain an unsaturated polyester/styrene resin. The effect of the ratio of the two aforementioned components, as well as of the type and amount of free-radical initiator on both front velocity and maximum temperature reached by the front, has been thoroughly studied. The resulting products have been characterized in terms of their thermal and dynamic-mechanical behaviour. A comparison of such products with the corresponding materials obtained by the classical batch polymerization technique has evidenced that frontal polymerization allows to reach a higher degree of crosslinking with respect to batch copolymerization and hence a better thermal and mechanical behaviour.

Abstract Various crosslinking agents have been used to frontally cure the unsaturated polyester derived by the reaction of maleic anhydride and 1,2-propanediol. The effect of composition of the curing mixture on the front velocity and its maximum temperature, as well as on the thermal properties of the obtained materials, is described.

AbstractInterpenetrating polymer networks made of dicyclopentadiene and methyl methacrylate or tri(ethylene glycol) dimethacrylate have been successfully prepared by non-interfering frontal polymerization. The role of catalyst and free radical initiator relative amounts, as well as of monomer ratio, has been thoroughly studied. The conditions under which a pure frontal polymerization occurs, and the related values of both front velocity and maximum temperature reached by the reaction, are presented and discussed.

This article describes the synthesis and characterization of homopolymer (H-BCPM) of N-[4-N'-(benzylamino-carbonyl) phenyl] maleimide (N-BACPMI) and copolymer (C-BCPM) of N-BACPMI withn-butyl acrylate (BA). The new monomer was synthesized fromp-aminobenzoic acid, maleic anhydride and benzylamine. The homopolymerization of N-BACPMI is initiated by free radical using AIBN in THF solvent at 65°C. Radical copolymerization of N-BACPMI with BA, initiated by AIBN, was performed in THF solvent using equimolar amount. Effect of the different free radical initiator AIBN, BPO and solventsp-Dioxane, THF, DMF and DMSO was studied. Homopolymer and Copolymer were characterized by intrinsic viscosity, solubility test, FT-IR,1H-NMR spectral analysis and elemental analysis. Thermal behaviour was studied by Thermo gravimetric analysis.

Starting from the well known stable free radical 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH; 2a) and its congener 2,2-diphenyl-1-(4-cyano-2,6-dinitrophenyl)hydrazyl 2b, or from their reduced hydrazine counterparts 1a,b, it was possible to obtain the p-quinonoid compounds 4a,b by oxidation with ceric (Ce4+) sulfate, which by reduction gave the corresponding hydroxyl derivatives 2-phenyl-2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-1-picrylhydrazine 5a or 2-phenyl-2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-1-(4-cyano-2,6-dinitrophenyl)hydrazine 5b. These hydroxyl derivatives (5a,b) react with 4-carboxy-TEMPO or 2,2-diphenyl-1-(4-carboxy-2,6-dinitrophenyl)hydrazine to form the corresponding esters 6a,b or 8a,b. These esters (6a,b and 8a,b) lead to the hybrid hetero diradicals (nitroxide–hydrazyl type) 7a,b or homo biradicals (hydrazyl–hydrazyl type) 9a,b by oxidation with lead dioxide or potassium permanganate. The new compounds were characterized by UV-vis, NMR, EPR, and MS analysis, and their magnetic behaviour was investigated.

This chapter presents the preparation and characterization of some unique properties of nanocomposites by dispersing graphite flakes in commercial unsaturated polyester (UPE) matrix. The composite was prepared by a novel method with the use of solvent swelling technique. Three different specimens of UPE/graphite nanocomposites were fabricated with addition of 1, 2 and 3 wt% of graphite flakes. Except mechanical, viscoelastic and thermo gravimetric properties, transport properties like electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity and water transport properties were studied for the first time. Graphite flakes propose enhanced properties to the composites suggesting homogeneous distribution of the nanofiller in the matrix and strong interaction with the matrix. 2wt% nanofiller loading showed superior essential characteristics and after that the properties reduced may be due to the nucleating tendency of the nanofiller particles. The XRD pattern showed the compatibility of the graphite flakes by introducing a peak around 26.550 in the nanocomposites. SEM Properties are also in agreement with the compatibility. Nanocomposite with 2wt% graphite also showed remarkable enhancement in transport, mechanical, viscoelastic and thermo gravimetric properties. So by introduction of a small quantity of graphite endow the new class of multiphase nanocomposites with inimitable structure and tremendous application.
