This study concerns bio-based urethane prepolymers. The relationship between the chemical structure and the thermal and processing parameters of bio-based isocyanate-terminated ether and ester-urethane prepolymers was investigated. Bio-based prepolymers were obtained with the use of bio-monomers such as bio-based diisocyanate, bio-based polyether polyol or polyester polyols. In addition to their composition, the bio-based prepolymers were different in the content of iso-cyanate groups content (ca. 6 and 8%). The process of pre-polymerization and the obtained bio-based prepolymers were analyzed by determining the content of unreacted NCO groups, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, proton nuclear magnetic resonance, thermogravimetry, and rheological measurements. The research conducted facilitated the evaluation of the properties and processability of urethane prepolymers based on natural components. The results indicate that a significant impact on the processability has the origin the polyol ingredient as well as the NCO content. The thermal stability of all of the prepolymers is similar. A prepolymer based on a poly-ether polyol is characterized by a lower viscosity at a lower temperature than the prepolymer based on a polyester polyol. The viscosity value depends on the NCO content.

The first component of the Polyurethane adhesive was prepared with polyester polyol, polyether polyol ,castor oil and isophorone diisocyanate. And this component was mixed with the castor oil and its modified production to prepare a two-component solvent-free aliphatic polyurethane laminating adhesive. In this study, the influences of the copolymerization ratio of polyester/ether on viscosity, heat resistance, adhesion strength and boiling resistance were studied, as well as influences of castor oil and its modified production on curing speed and adhesion strength. The results showed that when proportion of polyether diol was 25% and castor oil was 50% of the total hydroxyl content of first component, the PU adhesive with lower viscosity, better reactivity and enhanced boiling resistance would be achieved. And with an appropriate amount of derivatives castor oil in second component, the curing speed and adhesion strength of the PU adhesive were significantly improved.

Fired resistors exhibit variations which are minimised by abrasive and laser trimming. The latter may cause unstable behaviour which is further aggravated by thermal shock. The chemical structure of a thick film resistor is analysed with respect to mechanical stress, and the theoretical conclusion that the coefficient of thermal expansion of the resistor should be equal to or smaller than that of the substrate is verified experimentally. The thermal behaviour of ruthenium dioxide is examined and a range of CTE values are determined for materials of varying chemical composition. The relationship between CTE and post laser trimming stability is demonstrated on four thick film resistors which differ in thermal expansion. It is pointed out that formulations with high metallic content can absorb tensile stress by elastic deformation, thus minimising the formation or propagation of laser induced cracks.

Abstract In this paper, we synthesized a kind of bio-based plasticizer epoxidized linoleic acid cardanol ester(ELCE) from cardanol and linoleic acid. Its chemical structure was characterized with FT-IR and 1H NMR. Polyvinyl chloride(PVC) blends plasticized with ELCE were prepared via thermoplastic blending with torque rheometer. The performance including torque, mechanical property, thermal stability, plasticizing property and migration resistance of plasticized PVC blends were investigated and compared with plasticized PVC blends with commercial plasticizer dioctyl phthalate(DOP). The results showed that ELCE improved thermal stability of PVC blends. ELCE played more excellent plasticizing effect on PVC blends than DOP. The better solvent extraction resistance and volatile resistance of ELCE make it impossible to completely replace DOP in PVC products.

High degree of polymerization Agave fructans (HDPAF) are presented as a novel encapsulating material. Electrospraying coating (EC) was selected as the encapsulation technique and β-carotene as the model bioactive compound. For direct electrospraying, two encapsulation methodologies (solution and emulsion) were proposed to find the formulation which provided a suitable particle morphology and an adequate concentration of β-carotene encapsulated in the particles to provide a protective effect of β-carotene by the nanocapsules. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images showed spherical particles with sizes ranging from 440 nm to 880 nm depending on the concentration of HDPAF and processing parameters. FTIR analysis confirmed the interaction and encapsulation of β-carotene with HDPAF. The thermal stability of β-carotene encapsulated in HDPAF was evidenced by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The study showed that β-carotene encapsulated in HDPAF by the EC method remained stable for up to 50 h of exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light. Therefore, HDPAF is a viable option to formulate nanocapsules as a new encapsulating material. In addition, EC allowed for increases in the ratio of β-carotene:polymer, as well as its photostability.

ABSTRACTEpitaxial films of Ba2YCu3O7-δ (BYCO) as thin as 250 å A and with Jc's approaching those of the best in situ grown films can be formed by co-evaporating BaF2, Y, and Cu followed by a two-stage anneal. These results extend the work on films > 2000 Å thick by R. Feenstra et al. [J. Appl. Phys. 69, 6569 (1991)]. High quality films of these thicknesses become possible if low oxygen partial pressure [p(O2) = 4.3 Torr] is used during the high temperature portion cf the anneal (Ta). The BYCO melt line is the upper limit for Ta. The use of low p(O2) shifts the window for stable BYCO film growth to lower temperature, which allows the formation of smooth films with greater microstructural disorder than is found in films grown in p(O2) = 740 Torr at higher Ta. The best films annealed in p(O2)=4.3 Torr have Jc values a factor of four higher than do comparable films annealed in P2=740 Torr. The relationship between the T required to grow films with the strongest pinning force and p(O2) is log independent of growth method (in situ or situ) over a range of five orders of magnitude of P(O2).
