ABSTRACTA novel polyimide-based heterocyclic polymer, polyimide benzobisthiazole (PIBT), was prepared from diaminophenylene benzobisthiazole (DAPBT) and pyromellitic acid dianhydride (PMDA). Fibers with tensile modulus of 220 GPa were obtained from PIBT; this modulus value is consistent with the 430 GPa modulus determined by wide-angle x-ray diffraction (WAXD) analysis. Unoriented isotropic films exhibited significantly lower modulus values in the range of 10 GPa. Block copolymers of PIBT with thermoplastic segments were synthesized in an effort to prepare molecular composites. These materials showed a dramatic decrease in melt viscosity and had modulus values lower than observed in isotropic PIBT films.

ABSTRACTThis paper will discuss the structure-property model developed that correlates the tensile modulus to the elastic properties and angular distribution of constituent graphitic layers for carbon fiber derived from a polyethylene precursor. In addition, a high-temperature fiber tensile device was built to enable heating of carbon fiber bundles at a variable rate from 25 °C to greater than ∼2300 °C, while simultaneously applying a tensile stress. This capability combined with synchrotron wide-angle x-ray diffraction (WAXD), enabled observation in situ and in real time of the microstructural transformation from different carbon fiber precursors to high-modulus carbon fiber. Experiments conducted using PAN- and PE-derived fiber precursors reveal stark differences in their carbonization and high-temperature graphitization behavior.

Plasticized polyacrylonitrile(PAN) fibers have been chemically impregnated with aqueous solution of KMnO4under varying conditions of temperature and time. The effect of modification conditions on the chemical structure and the mechanical properties of precursor fibers are characterized by wide-angle X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and scanning electron microscope. The experimental results show that KMnO4can be used not only as catalyst for cyclization reaction, but also as plasticizer. The chemical modification between KMnO4and PAN can not occur below70°C, the most suitable condition for modification is performed at 80°C for 5 min.

Combined with in situ wide angle X-ray diffraction, the mechanical properties of polybutene-1 with rapid pressurization are investigated. The toughness of polybutene-1 can be improved significantly by forms I/I′ produced by rapid pressurization.

Abstract Dielectric property, bulk density, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), wide angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) and mechanical properties were analyzed. PAN fibers (PFs) are polar materials, and the dielectric constant of KMnO4 modification fibers (Mn-PFs) is reduced. The bulk density of Mn-PFs under microwave stabilization (Mn-MSFs) is 0.04 g/cm3 higher than that of the microwave stabilized fibers (MSFs), shortening the value in one temperature zone. Compared with MSFs5, the stability of Mn-MSFs5 is improved by 10%, and the surface O content and O-containing functional groups are improved. The (002) crystal plane diffraction peak of Mn-MSFs5 is higher than that of MSFs5, and it has a higher stabilized structure. Moreover, after stabilization, the Mn element does not exist on the fiber surface and does not affect the structure of the stabilized fiber. The fineness of Mn-MSFs5 is 1.07 dtex, tensile strength is 1.52 cN/dtex, tensile modulus is 59.3 cN/dtex and elongation at break is 13.5%. It has excellent mechanical properties. In addition, a structural transformation of the thermal stabilization process is proposed, that is, the cyclization reaction first occurs, and then the dehydrogenation and oxidation reactions are performed.

The mechanical properties of polypropylene (PP) could be strengthened after PP was filled with nano- Al2O3. Tests of mechanical properties and analyses of scanning electron microscope (SEM), transmission electron microscope (TEM) and wide-angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD) showed that the crystallinity of PP/nano- Al2O3 (3wt%) was improved 9.5% compared with PP’s, the tensile strength was enhanced 10.7 % and the notched impact strength was intensified 21%, the comprehensive property of nano-composites was by far the best .

Novel melt-processable molecular composites were obtained from isotactic polypropylene (iPP) and liquid-crystalline oligoester (LCO). The nanostructure and thermal behaviour of molecular composites were examined by real-time synchrotron small-angle X-ray scattering and wide-angle X-ray diffraction methods, and differential scanning calorimetry. The synthesized oligoester, with low melting temperature (391 K), exhibits the ability to form a thermotropic mesophase. It was shown that strong rigid rod-like macromolecules of LCO are dispersed at the molecular scale in iPP matrix and act as reinforcing fibres.

Catalytic graphitization of polyacrylonitrile-based carbon fiber by doping boric acid was reported in this paper. The microstructure and mechanical properties of polyacrylonitrile-based carbon fibers with and without doping boric acid after heat treatment of 1300°C,1500°C,1800°C, 2100°C,2300°C,2400°Cand 2500°Cwas investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and mechanical testing. The results showed that the tensile modulus of the carbon fibers either boron modified or not, increased obviously with increasing temperatures, and that of the modified carbon fibers was much higher than the unmodified fibers at all temperatures, reaching 404Gpa when the fiber was graphitized at 2500°C. The tensile strength of the modified carbon fibers was lower than the unmodified ones after being graphitized at temperatures below 2300°C, but increased to 2.69 GPa and 2.46 GPa respectively after the fibers were treated at 2300°C and 2500°C, which were higher than that of unmodified fibers treated under the same conditions, indicatinging that the mechanism of boron catalytic graphitization changed at the temperatures higher than 2300°C. It also showed that the interlayer spacing (d002) decreased, while the crystallite size (Lc) and the orientation increased with increasing temperatures.

FeAl20Si20 (wt.%) powders prepared by mechanical alloying from different initial feedstock materials (Fe, Al, Si, FeAl27) were investigated in this study. Scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction and nanoindentation techniques were used to analyze microstructure, phase composition and mechanical properties (hardness and Young’s modulus). Finite element model was developed to account for the decrease in measured values of mechanical properties of powder particles with increasing penetration depth caused by surrounding soft resin used for embedding powder particles. Progressive homogenization of the powders’ microstructure and an increase of hardness and Young’s modulus with milling time were observed and the time for complete homogenization was estimated.

Organoclay nanoparticles (Cloisite® C10A, Cloisite® C15) and their combination with carbon black (N330) were studied as fillers in chloroprene/natural/butadiene rubber blends to prepare nanocomposites. The effect of filler type and load on the physical mechanical properties of nanocomposites was determined and correlated with its structure, compatibility and cure properties using Fourier Transformed Infrared (FT-IR), X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA) and rheometric analysis. Physical mechanical properties were improved by organoclays at 5–7 phr. Nanocomposites with organoclays exhibited a remarkable increase up to 46% in abrasion resistance. The improvement in properties was attributed to good organoclay dispersion in the rubber matrix and to the compatibility between them and the chloroprene rubber. Carbon black at a 40 phr load was not the optimal concentration to interact with organoclays. The present study confirmed that organoclays can be a reinforcing filler for high performance applications in rubber nanocomposites.
