ABSTRACTWe have studied some of the physical and mechanical properties of cyclized polybutadiene (CBR) dielectrics by dynamic mechanical analysis, thermal mechanical analysis, thermogravimetry, infrared analysis, and differential scanning calorimetry. Of interest is the difference in properties between thin (<30 μm) films which have been cured under vacuum and those which have been cured in air. Our results indicate that curing under vacuum prevents oxidation and reduces crosslinking. Vacuum cured films have 20% smaller moduli and 200 lower glass transition temperature than do films produced in air.

AbstractSoak of polyurethane-based CMP pads in tungsten slurry and de-ionized water and its effect on retention of thermal and mechanical properties of the pads was studied using Dynamic Mechanical Analysis (DMA), Thermal Mechanical Analysis (TMA), Thermal Gravimetric Analysis (TGA), and Modulated Differential Scanning Calorimetry (MDSC). Simultaneous cross-linking and plastisizing due to soak were established using DMA and MDSC analysis. The stable operating temperature range and its dependence on soak time were determined using TMA analysis. Substantial difference in diffusion behavior of the “soft” and “hard” pads was discovered: diffusion into the hard pads followed Fickian law [1], while diffusion into the multi-layer soft pads was dominated by the fast filling of the highly porous pad surface with liquid.During a traditional CMP process, which involves application of polishing pads and slurry, the pad properties can be substantially and irreversibly changed as the result of slurry/rinse water absorption.The retention of the pad properties after exposure was monitored using such thermal and mechanical techniques, as Thermal Mechanical Analysis (TMA), Dynamical Mechanical Analysis (DMA), Modulated Differential Scanning Calorimetry (MDSC), Thermal Gravimetric Analysis (TGA).

ABSTRACTNanofibrous mats of poly ε-caprolactone (PCL) were fabricated by electrospinning. The nanofiber structures were investigated and characterized by scanning electron microscope, differential scanning calorimetry, thermogravimetric analysis, dynamic mechanical analysis, static water-contact-angle analysis and mechanical properties. The results showed that the nanofibrous PCL is an ideal biopolymer for cell adhesion, owing to its biocompatibility, biodegradability, structural stability and mechanical properties. Differential scanning calorimetry results showed that the fibrous structure of PCL does not alter its crystallinity. Studies of the mechanical properties, wettability and degradability showed that the structure of the electrospun PCL improved the tensile modulus, tensile strength, wettability and biodegradability of the nanotemplates. To evaluate the nanofibrous structure of PCL on cell adhesion, osteoblasts cells were seeded on these templates. The results showed that both adhesion and proliferation of the cells is viable on these electrospun PCL membranes. Thus electrospinning is a relatively inexpensive and scalable manufacturing technique for submicron to nanometer diameter fibers, which can be of interest in the commodity industry.

The paper experimentally studies the effect of meta and para- substitution of the amino groups in the diamine used in the synthesis of multiblock copolymers. The way for synthesis of new multiblock copolymers with the possibility of replacing the diamine in the polymer structure was shown. Thermal and mechanical properties of synthesized copolymers had been characterized by means of differential scanning calorimetry, thermogravimetric analysis, dynamic mechanical thermal analysis and by nanoindentation and tensile test.

The 3-allyl-5,5-dimethylhydantoin (ADMH) was synthesized and characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, 1H-nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and 13C-NMR spectroscopy. Then, the ADMH was used to modify the N, N′-(4,4′-diphenylmethane)bismaleimide (BDM)/2,2′-diallylbisphenol A (DABPA) resin to obtain the BDM/DABPA/ADMH resin system (BDA). The curing behavior was investigated by non-isothermal differential scanning calorimetry and the activation energy ([Formula: see text]) was obtained by Kissinger and Ozawa models. The thermomechanical property was measured by dynamic mechanical analysis. Analysis of the data revealed the complexity of the curing reaction, which was firstly dominated by the Ene reaction of allyl and C=C double bond at low and medium temperatures and was further governed by the Diels–Alder reaction and the anionic imide oligomerization occurred at high temperatures. The results demonstrated that 1-BDA had the best thermal and mechanical properties exhibiting excellent modification effect of ADMH.

The thermal and mechanical characteristics of various Mg-Cu(Ni)-Y(Gd) metallic glassy alloys prepared by melt spinning are examined using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermomechanical analyzer (TMA), and instrumental nanoindenter. The replacement of Y by Gd appears to benefit both the thermal and mechanical properties, while the replacement of Cu by Ni improves only the hardness and modulus, with the sacrifice of thermal characteristics. The amorphous Mg-Cu-Gd based alloys can be fabricated into rods with a diameter greater than 6 mm, with minimum porosity and reasonable toughness.

According to the availability of bagasse waste and increasing environmental concern, this research is focused on the preparation of polylactic acid (PLA)/bagasse carboxymethyl cellulose (CMCB) composite in order to improve the thermal and mechanical properties of PLA/CMCB film. PLA were mixed with CMCB at different ratios (1, 2, 4 and 8%, w/w of PLA), by kneading in two roll mills and then hot pressing into film. The results revealed that the addition of CMCB had significant effects on PLA composites properties. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) measurement indicated that the presence of CMCB accelerated the reduction of glass transition, and melting temperatures. Moreover the CMCB could improve the storage modulus of PLA composites at high temperature because its cold crystallization was developed. At room temperature, the tensile strength and elongation of PLA composite (but not modulus) were not significantly different with an increase of CMCB contents.

<p class="p1">The effect of replacing hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX) by octahydro-1,3,5,7-tetranitro-1,3,5,7-tetrazocine (HMX) in HTPB-binder on the performance, sensitivity, thermal, and mechanical properties of the sheet explosive formulation has been studied. The maximum loading of HMX was achieved up to 78 per cent in HTPB-binder system. The velocity of detonation (VOD) of HMX-based sheet explosive was observed about 7300 m/s which is marginally higher than existing RDX-based sheet explosive formulation (RDX/HTPB-binder, 80/20). The VOD trends were verified by theoretical calculation by BKW code using FORTRAN executable program. The thermal decomposition kinetics of sheet explosive formulations was investigated by differential scanning calorimetry. The activation energy for sheet explosive formulation HMX/HTPB-binder (78/22) was calculated using Kissinger kinetic method and found to be 170.08 kJ/mol, infer that sheet explosive formulation is thermally stable.</p>

The addition of nanoclay within polymer matrix is anticipate to enhance the properties of the polymer system. Nonetheless, one of the key elements in property enhancements of a polymer nanocomposites is the surface modifications of the nanoclay. This is due to the affinity between polymer matrix and nanoclay is of important factors should be considered. In this study, amorphous polyamide were melt blended with different nanoclay grades with different surface modifications in order to evaluate the best clay grade for the polymer system. The thermal analysis carried out on the amorphous polyamide nanocomposites were carried out by means of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) whereas the mechanical properties were investigated using tensile testing. It was observed that there were changes in the glass transition temperature (Tg) of the nanocomposites due to clay additions. Further, the storage modulus was found to increase as a result of nanoclay incorporation. The type of clay grades significantly affects the mechanical properties of the amorphous polyamide nanocomposites.
