The Eu

Epoxy urethane composites (EU) have been developed based on polyisocyanate (PIC), epoxy resin (ED-20), and sodium silicate (SS). The results of the study of the influence of the ratio of the components of the EU on their thermophysical and physicomechanical characteristics are presented. The method ofdifferential scanning calorimetry revealed thatthese systems do not have clear temperature transitions, which indicates a fairly homogeneous and rigid structure. Studies of thermal properties by the method of dynamic thermogravimetry have shown that as the amount of sodium silicate increases, the temperature of the onset of decomposition of the EU is shifted by 20 ° C towards lower temperatures. At the same time, there is a slowdown in the decomposition of epoxy urethanes (weight loss is 12-14%), due to the presence of heterocyclic isocyanurate fragments, which is inherent in its own high thermal stability. The mechanical properties of the EU, such as compressive strength, modulus of elasticity, relative compression deformation, flexural strength, and water absorption, are determined depending on the ratio of components. High mechanical properties are shown regardless of the inorganic component amount. The modulus of elasticity, strength, and relative deformation in compression is in the range of 1916.4 - 4187.6 MPa, 117.4 - 133.1 MPa, and 24.7-30.4%, respectively. The highest flexural strengths are characterized by the EC composition of the PIC / SS / ED-20 = 80/20/20, and the lowest - the EC composition of the PIC / SS / ED-20 = 70/30/20. The results of the studies show that, by changing the ratio of organic and inorganic constituents in the EC, it is possible to regulate the thermal stability and physicomechanical properties of epoxy urethane composites depending on their purpose.

Abstract Polystyrene (PS) based composites respectively with cenosphere (CS) and calcium aluminosilicate (CAS) as fillers were studied using the positron lifetime technique to reveal the correlation between free volume, a microstructural property, and mechanical properties of the composites (tensile strength and tensile modulus). The thermal stability of the composites was determined using differential scanning calorimetry. The results showed that addition of CAS filler lead to a significant improvement in the mechanical properties of the composite, whereas addition of CS resulted in improvement in tensile modulus only. Both PS/CAS and PS/CS composites showed enhancement in thermal stability compared with that of the pure PS matrix. The positron results showed that the average free volume size for the PS/CAS composite (at 40 phr CAS) was reduced significantly compared with that of the pure PS. These results are understood in terms of the influence of silica content, filler-matrix interaction, and particle size.

Abstract The thermal and dynamic mechanical properties of epoxy composites filled with zirconium diboride/nano-alumina (ZrB2/Al2O3) multiphase particles were investigated by means of differential scanning calorimetry, dynamic thermo-mechanical analysis, and numerical simulation. ZrB2/Al2O3 particles were surface organic functional modified by γ-glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane for the improvement of their dispersity in epoxy matrix. The results indicated that the curing exotherm of epoxy resin decreased significantly due to the addition of ZrB2/Al2O3 multiphase particles. In comparison to the composites filled with unmodified particles, the modified multiphase particles made the corresponding filling composites exhibit lower curing reaction heat, lower loss modulus, and higher storage modulus. Generally speaking, the composites filled with 5 wt% modified multiphase particles presented the best thermal stability and thermo-mechanical properties due to the better filler-matrix interfacial compatibility and the uniform dispersity of modified particles. Finite element analysis also suggested that the introduction of modified ZrB2/Al2O3 multiphase particles increased the stiffness of the corresponding composites.

AbstractA group of films mainly composed of sericin and poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA), using boric acid (BA) as a modifier, were prepared by a technique of solution casting. In this work, the effect of BA and sericin on the mechanical properties and water resistance of the films was analyzed, the interior morphology of the films were described by a scanning electron microscopy (SEM), the thermal stability of the films was characterized by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and the reaction mechanism was proposed according to the previous literature and the test of Fourier transform infrared spectrum (FTIR). Results indicated that, the properties of the membrane were the functions of the blend ratio of sercin to PVA and the content of BA. The use of BA increased the tensile strength, improved the water resistance and the thermal stability, and varied the interior morphology of the films. The content of sericin greatly influenced the combination of properties of the films, especially the mechanical properties, interior morphology, thermal stability, and water resistance reducing with the increasing of sericin content. The films have potential to be used in materials, such as skin-care coatings for beauty, percutaneous drug delivery systems for exterior intact skin, due to the characteristics of the components and the good mechanical properties of the films.

The aim of this work was to investigate the dispersibility of kaolinite-rich coal gangue in rubber matrix, the mechanical properties and thermal stability of coal gangue/styrene butadiene rubber (SBR) composites, and to compare these properties to those of the same coal gangue but had undergone thermal activation and modification. Several experimental techniques, such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray fluorescence (XRF), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), thermogravimetric-differential scanning calorimetry (TG-DSC), laser-scattering particle analyzer were adopted to characterize the coal gangue particles and then the obtained composites. The results demonstrated the raw coal gangue (RCG) was mainly composed of kaolinite. Calcination led to amorphization of thermal activated coal gangue (ACG), increased hydrophilicity and void volume, and decreased pH. The grain size of ACG became coarser than RCG, but ACG turned loose confirmed by higher degree of refinement after grinding. Modification enhanced the hydrophobicity of the coal gangue and improved its dispersibility than fillers without modification. Calcined samples had better dispersibility than uncalcined fillers. Additionally, the coal gangue treated by calcinating, grinding and modifying (MGA) had the best dispersion in rubber matrix. Either calcination or modification could improve the mechanical properties and thermal stability of coal gangue filled rubber, while the performance of MGA reinforced SBR (MGA-SBR) was the best. The enhanced performance of the MGA-SBR was owed to better dispersion of particles as well as stronger interactions between particles and rubber macromolecules.

In this research, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) was employed to compare the curing reaction kinetics of the epoxidized hydroxyl terminated polybutadiene-isophorone diisocyanate (EHTPB-IPDI) and hydroxyl terminated polybutadiene-isophorone diisocyanate (HTPB-IPDI) binder systems. Glass transition temperature (Tg) and mechanical properties of the EHTPB-IPDI and HTPB-IPDI binder systems were determined using the DSC method and a universal testing machine, respectively. For the EHTPB-IPDI binder system, the change of viscosity during the curing process in the presence of dibutyltin silicate (DBTDL) and tin 2-ethylhexanoate (TECH) catalysts was studied, and the activation energy was estimated. The results show that the activation energies (Ea) of the curing reaction of the EHTPB-IPDI and HTPB-IPDI binder systems are 53.8 and 59.1 kJ·mol−1, respectively. While their average initial curing temperatures of the two systems are 178.2 and 189.5 °C, respectively. The EHTPB-IPDI binder system exhibits a higher reactivity. Compared with the HTPB-IPDI binder system, the Tg of the EHTPB-IPDI binder system is increased by 5 °C. Its tensile strength and tear strength are increased by 12% and 17%, respectively, while its elongation at break is reduced by 10%. Epoxy groups and isocyanates react to form oxazolidinones, thereby improving the mechanical properties and thermal stability of polyurethane materials. These differences indicate that the EHTPB-IPDI binder system has better thermal stability and mechanical properties. During the EHTPB-IPDI binder system’s curing process, the DBTDL catalyst may ensure a higher viscosity growth rate, indicating a better catalytic effect, consistent with the prediction results obtained using the non-isothermal kinetic analysis method.

ABSTRACTWe report on the microstructure, the thermal stability and the mechanical properties of slowly cooled Zr-Nb-Cu-Ni-Al alloys with ductile bcc phase precipitates embedded in a glassy or nanocrystalline matrix. The samples were prepared in form of rods by injection casting into a copper mold. The phase formation and the microstructure of the composite material were investigated by X-ray diffraction, EDX analysis and scanning and transmission electron microscopy. The thermal stability was examined by differential scanning calorimetry and the mechanical behavior was investigated by compression tests under quasistatic loading at room temperature. The formation of bcc phase dendrites and a glassy or nanocrystalline matrix is strongly governed by the alloy composition and the actual cooling rate during solidification. Besides, changes in composition and cooling rate lead to different volume fraction and size of the bcc phase precipitates and, hence, to different values of yield strength, elastic and plastic strain. The samples with nanocrystalline matrix show a homogeneous distribution of the bcc phase precipitates over the whole cross-section and exhibit higher yield strength and plastic strain than the samples containing an amorphous matrix. Illustrated by the presented results we show the possibility of obtaining tailored mechanical properties by control of composition and solidification conditions.

Cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) were modified with methyl methacrylate (MMA) to improve the properties of the resulting three-dimensional (3D) stereolithography printed CNC/methacrylate (MA) resin composites. The dispersibility of the MMA-modified CNCs (MMA-CNCs) was substantially improved, as evidenced by the limited precipitation in the MA solution. Thermal gravimetry and differential scanning calorimetry measurements showed that the pyrolytic temperature of the MMA-CNC was 110 °C higher than that of the CNCs; the pyrolytic temperature and glass transition temperature of the resulting MMA-CNC/MA composites were higher than those of the CNC/MA. The tensile strength and modulus of the MMA-CNC/MA composites were improved by up to 38.3 MPa and 3.07 GPa, respectively, compared to those of the CNC/MA composites. These results demonstrated that the modification of CNC with MMA is a feasible approach to substantially improve the mechanical properties and thermal stability of the resulting MA-based composites.

In this paper the effect of LDPE content in PVC foams are examined on the structure of both the foam and the LDPE. We attempt to understand how LDPE content affects the structure of PVC in blends and how it changes the glass-transition (Tg). These parameters often provide important information related to the overall macromolecular structure of the polymer blend. Thermal analytical techniques such as differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) often used to determine the structural transformation of samples. The effect of the miscibility and composition of the PVC/LDPE foam blends on the thermal stability were also investigated.

Abstract The construction of an apparatus for measuring the modulus of elasticity and the mechanical losses in raw and vulcanized rubbers during the periodical deformation of compression is described. With the aid of this device it is possible to measure these characteristics at frequencies from 10 to 50 cycles per second for relative compression deformations from 1 to 50 per cent and in a wide range of temperatures. The relation between temperature and modulus of elasticity and mechanical losses was studied at 30 cycles per second for various grades of raw and vulcanized rubbers and a general regularity of this dependence was determined. In the solution of technical problems such as the construction of automobile tire treads, the behavior of rubber under conditions of rapidly changing periodic deformation is highly important. Here the two characteristics of rubber: the dynamic modulus of elasticity and the magnitude of that part of work of deformation which is irreversibly spent during one cycle (mechanical losses) are of the greatest interest. In previous studies of these properties, three basic methods have been used:
