AbstractIn this research, crosslinked hybrids of a newly invented bio-based elastomer poly(di-isoamyl itaconate-co-isoprene) (PDII) and 3,9-bis[1,1-dimethyl-2{β-(3-tert-butyl-4-hydroxy-5-methylphenyl)propionyloxy}ethyl]-2,4,8,10-tetraoxaspiro[5,5]-undecane (AO-80) were designed and prepared by the mechanical kneading of the PDII/AO-80 hybrids at a temperature higher than the melting point of AO-80, followed by the crosslinking of PDII during the subsequent hot-pressing/vulcanization process. The microstructure, morphology, and mechanical properties of the hybrids were systematically investigated in each preparation stage by using DSC, FTIR, XRD, SEM, DMTA, and tensile testing. Part of the AO-80 molecules formed an AO-80-rich phase, but most of them dissolved in the PDII to form a very fine dispersion in amorphous form. The results of FTIR and DSC indicated that strong intermolecular interactions were formed between the PDII and the AO-80 molecules. Each PDII/AO-80 crosslinked hybrid showed a single transition with a higher glass transition temperature and significantly higher loss value (tan δ) than the neat PDII because of intermolecular interactions between the PDII and the AO-80 molecules. For instance, tan δ of PDII/AO-80 consisting of 100 phr AO-80 achieved 2.6 times as neat PDII. The PDII/AO-80 crosslinked hybrids with applicability at room temperature are potential bio-based damping materials for the future.

Polyurethane elastomers (PU) based on polyester, TDI-100 and MOCA were synthesized by two step method. The polyurethane elastomers were investigated by infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), atomic force microscope (AFM) and dynamic thermal mechanical analyses (DMA). The results show that the structure of polyester plays an important role in polyurethane damping materials. When the polyester contains more side methyl groups, the polyurethane material has high damping properties (tan δ) and wide damping zones. So the polyurethane damping property can be improved by choosing polyester with appropriate structure.

AbstractFor hindered phenol (HP)/polymer-based hybrid damping materials, the damping properties are greatly affected by the structure variation of HPs. However, the unclear relationship between them limits the exploitation of such promising materials. Therefore, three HPs with different chain polarity were synthesized to explore the relationship in this paper. The structures of the HPs were firstly confirmed by Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectrum, Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR) and X-ray Diffraction (XRD). For further prepared HP/polyurethane hybrids, FT-IR and XRD were also adopted to confirm the hydrogen bonding interactions and micromorphologies. And, Molecular dynamics simulation was further used to characterize the effects of polarity variation on the hydrogen bonding interactions and chain packing of the hybrids in a quantitative manner. Then, combined with dynamic mechanical analysis, the relationship between the chain polarity variation of the hindered phenols and the damping properties was established.

In this research, alkaline niobate known as K0.5Na0.5NbO3 (KNN) lead-free piezoelectric ceramic was synthesis by solid state reaction method which pressing at different sintering temperatures (1000 °C and 1080 °C) prepared via hot isostatic pressing (HIP)). The effect of sintering temperature on structure and dielectric properties was studied. The optimum sintering temperature (at 1080 °C for 30 minutes) using hot isostatic pressing (HIP) was successfully increase the density, enlarge the particle grain size in the range of 0.3 µm – 2.5 µm and improves the dielectric properties of K0.5Na0.5NbO3 ceramics. The larger grain size and higher density ceramics body will contribute the good dielectric properties. At room temperature, the excellent relative permittivity and tangent loss recorded at 1 MHz (ɛr = 5517.35 and tan δ = 0.954), respectively for KNN1080HIP sample. The KNN1080HIP sample is also exhibits highest relative density which is 4.485 g/cm3. The ɛr depends upon density and in this work, the density increase as the sintering temperature increase, which resulting the corresponding ɛr value also increases.

In this work, a series of heptaphenyl siloxane trisilanol/polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (T7-POSS) modified by polyols with different molecular weights were synthesized into liquid-like nanoparticle–organic hybrid materials using the grafted-from method. All grafted POSS nanoparticles changed from solid powders to liquid at room temperature. Polyurethane (PU) nanocomposites with POSS contents ranging from 1.75 to 9.72 wt % were prepared from these liquefied polyols-terminated POSS with polyepichlorohydrin (POSS–PECH). Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) were used to characterize the morphology of the POSS–PECH/PU nanocomposites. The results showed that the polyol-terminated POSS particles overcame the nanoagglomeration effect and evenly disperse in the polymeric matrix. The damping factor (tan δ) of resultant nanocomposites increased from 0.90 to 1.16, while the glass transition temperature decreased from 15.8 to 9.4 °C when POSS contents increased from 0 to 9.75 wt %. The gel content, tensile strength and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) analyses demonstrated that the molecular thermal movement ability of the polyurethane (PU) matrix increased with increasing POSS hybrid content. Therefore, the improvement of the damping properties of the composites was mainly due to the friction-related losses occurring in the interface region between the nanoparticles and the matrix.

It is urgent for polyurethane (PU) damping materials to broaden the effective damping range. Based on the designability of PU, this study is focused on the role of long dangling chain, wherein prepared by the reaction of polyethylene glycol monomethyl ether with toluene-2,4-diisocyanate. Notably, the introduction of long dangling chain not only makes the dangling chain longer and enhances the intermolecular interaction but also equips the dangling chain with strong polar carbamate group, bringing about more excellent compatibility of the soft and hard segments and lower degree of microphase separation under the condition of hydrogen bonding. The results show that the damping performance increases with the synergistic effect of significant hydrogen bonding and decreased degree of microphase separation, and the effective damping temperature range (tan δ ≥ 0.3) can exceed 150°C (−50°C to 100°C). Simultaneously, the addition of long dangling chains endows PU with self-healing property, the self-healing rate of system reaches maximum 70% with shore A hardness of 15 because of the synergistic effect above with the addition of 60% dangling chain, which extends the service life of PU damping materials.

CaCu 3 Ti 4 O 12 (CCTO) ceramics which has perovskite structure gained considerable attention due to its giant permittivity. But it has high tan δ (0.1 at 1 kHz) at room temperature, which needs to be minimized to the level of practical applications. Hence, TeO 2 which is a good glass former has been deliberately added to CCTO nanoceramic (derived from the oxalate precursor route) to explore the possibility of reducing the dielectric loss while maintaining the high permittivity. The structural, morphological and dielectric properties of the pure CCTO and TeO 2 added ceramics were studied using X-ray diffraction, Scanning Electron Microscope along with Energy Dispersive X-ray Analysis (EDX), spectroscopy and Impedance analyzer. For the 2.0 wt.% TeO 2 added ceramics, there is a remarkable difference in the microstructural features as compared to that of pure CCTO ceramics. This sample exhibited permittivity values as high as 7387 at 10 KHz and low dielectric loss value of 0.037 at 10 kHz, which can be exploited for the high frequency capacitors application.

This work was try to study the number and types of hydrogen bonds (H-bonds) formed in hindered phenol AO-70/nitrile butadiene rubber (NBR) composites and their contributions to the damping properties by molecular dynamic (MD) simulation and experimental methods. MD simulation results showed that there were four types of H-bonds, namely, type A (AO-70) –OH...NC– (NBR) H-bonds in AO-70/NBR composites, type B (AO-70) –OH...O=C– (AO-70) H-bonds, type C (AO-70) –OH...OH–(AO-70) and D (AO-70) –OH...O–C– (AO-70) H-bonds, what's more, type A and type B H-Bonds formed more easily than others. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) confirmed the existence of H-bonds. Meanwhile, the AO-70/NBR composites with AO-70 content of 109 phr had the largest number of H-bonds, smallest fractional free volume (FFV) and resulting in the optimistic damping performance of the composites.

The main objective of this study was to investigate the effect of the pre-vulcanization temperature on mechanical and rheological properties of starch filled natural rubber (NR) latex films. The 10 phr filler loading of starch was added into the latex prior to the pre-vulcanization process at 60°C to 140°C. The dipped films were cured in the oven at 100°C for 20 minutes and cooled at room temperature for 24 hours before stripping. The rheological properties of NR latex compounds were studied based on the viscosity measurement. The tensile and tear tests of starch filled NR latex films were also carried out. The results indicated that the rheological properties of the latex compounds showed shear thickening behavior where viscosity was increased with the increase in shear rate and pre-vulcanization temperature proportionally. The pre-vulcanization temperature at 80°C showed the optimum mechanical properties of starch filled NR latex films.
