Poly(hydroxyurethane)s (PHU) are alternatives for conventional polyurethanes due to the use of bis-cyclic dicarbonates and diamines instead of harmful and toxic isocyanates. However, the surface properties of poly(hydroxyurethane)s are not well known. In this work, we focus on the analysis of the surface properties of poly(hydroxyurethane) coatings. Poly(hydroxyurethane)s were obtained by a catalyst-free method from commercially available carbonated diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A (Epidian 6 epoxy resins) and various diamines: ethylenediamine, trimethylenediamine, putrescine, hexamethylenediamine, 2,2,4(2,4,4)-trimethyl-1,6-hexanediamine, m-xylylenediamine, 1,8-diamino-3,6-dioxaoctane, 4,7,10-trioxa-1,13-tridecanediamine, and isophorone diamine, using a non-isocyanate route. The structures of the obtained polymers were confirmed by FT-IR, 1H NMR and 13C NMR spectroscopy, and thermogravimetric (TGA) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) analyses were performed. The rheological characteristic of the obtained polymers is presented. The static contact angles of water, diidomethane, and formamide, deposited on PHU coatings, were measured. From the measured contact angles, the surface free energy was calculated using two different approaches: Owens–Wendt and van Oss–Chaudhury–Good. Moreover, the wetting envelopes of PHU coatings were plotted, which enables the prediction of the wetting effect of various solvents. The results show that in the investigated coatings, a mainly dispersive interaction occurs.

In this work, appropriate alternative for diglycidyl ether bisphenol A (DGEBA) was found to avoid the destructive effects of bisphenol A. Lignin, an aromatic compound from palm tree leaves, was used as a renewable material to synthesize a bio-based epoxy resin. Lignin extracted using Kraft pulping process. Kraft Lignin was epoxidized with epichlorohydrin in alkaline medium. Nano-titanium dioxide was used as filler with ratio of 10% to prepare the green epoxy composite. The structure of the Kraft lignin and lignin-based epoxy resin was proven via Infrared spectra (FT-IR) were recorded using solid KBr disk by testing Shimadzu (FT-IR-8300) spectrophotometer. The thermal properties of the curing process of lignin-based epoxy resin and composite were investigate using Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) analysis. Potentiodynamic measurements data revealed that the anti-corrosion performance of the lignin based epoxy resin. The study demonstrates successful of epoxidation of Kraft lignin. In addition, lignin based eopxy resin showed effective inhibitor for carbon steel in 3.5 wt. % NaCl electrolyte solutions

Novel azomethine ether-based compounds (A: N-((4-(9-(4-(phenylimino)methyl)phenoxy)nonyloxy)benzylidene)bezenamine and B: N-((4-(9-(4-(p-hydroxyphenylimino)methyl)phenoxy)nonyloxy)benzylidene)-4-hydroxybenzenamine) were synthesized by condensation reaction of dialdehyde, 4,4-(1,9-nonandiyle)bis(oxy)dibenzaldehyde with aromatic amines. Structures of synthesized compounds were successfully characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), ultraviolet–visible, proton nuclear magnetic resonance imaging and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy. The PL spectral analysis revealed that emission maxima of compounds A and B are at 475 and 500 nm, respectively, indicate blue and green light emission with large Stokes shift range (Δ λ ST, 109–138 nm). Two series of polymers: one azomethine-based polymers (C1–C5) and other without azomethine (H1–H4) were prepared by curing diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A with a synthesized curing agent (B) and commercial curing agent, respectively, in various proportions. The structural characterization of the resulting polymers was carried out by FTIR spectral analysis. Thermal properties revealed that azomethine-based polymers (C1–C5) were thermally stable up to 400°C as compared to H1–H4. The glass transition temperature of the polymers, determined by differential scanning calorimetry, was in the range 121–123°C.

1-Benzyl-3-methyl-imidazolium hexafluoroantimonate (BMH) was newly synthesized and characterized with FT-IR, 1H-NMR. We synthesized catalysts fulfill requirements for a rapid cure at a moderately elevated temperature in curing the epoxy resin for neat diglycidyl ether bisphenol A (DGBEA). The cure behavior of this resin was investigated at elevated temperature and cure temperature in the presence of 0.5, 1.0, 2.0 wt% of 1-benzyl-3-methyl-imidazolium hexafluoroantimonate (BMH) by mean of differential scanning calorimeter (DSC). Chemical conversion as function of temperature and amount of BMH (0.5, 1.0, 2.0 wt%) were determined from DSC. It was found that BMH were superior latent thermal catalyst for catinonic curing which have a good thermal stability.

A series of trimesic acid-based star mesogens containing an octamethylenoxy spacer and two-ring containing side arms with terminal alkoxy groups were synthesised by a divergent approach. A structurally similar mesogen containing a three-ring side arm was also synthesised. All the mesogens and intermediates were characterised thoroughly using FT-IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR spectroscopy, and elemental analysis techniques. The mesophase characteristics were identified by hot stage optical polarising microscopy (HOPM) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), while X-ray was used to confirm the existence of a smectic A (SA) phase. The HOPM and DSC results revealed the presence of rich polymesomorphism in the star mesogens. The dominance of a SA phase in the series is attributed to the steric repulsion associated with steric asymmetry. The change of the side arm from two rings to three rings was found to increase the mesophase stability.

This article presents an experimental study on the surface properties of epoxy resin nanocomposites (EPNCs) manufactured with a thermosetting epoxy resin (EP)–bisphenol A diglycidyl ether (BADGE)–2-[[4-[2-[4-(Oxiran-2-ylmethoxy)phenyl]propan-2-yl]phenoxy]methyl]oxirane) and filled with alumina nanoparticles (NPs). The NPs consist of pretreated (with a silane agent) alpha alumina with irregular shapes and a 100 nm maximum size. Three weight fractions of NPs were studied: 1, 3, and 5 wt. (%). Two different epoxy (EP) resins were manufactured, one cured and postcured with bis (4-aminophenyl) methane (DDM); and another one cured with 3-dodec-2-enyloxolane-2,5-dione (DDSA) + 8-methyl-3a,4,7,7a-tetrahydro-4,7-methano-2-benzofuran-1,3-dione (MNA). The wettability and the surface roughness of the obtained EPNCs were studied through the measurement of contact angles and topographic images obtained with atomic force microscopy (AFM), respectively. Significant influence of both the loading of NPs and used curing agents was observed. EPNCs cured with DDM were shown to be hydrophobic for 0, 1, and 3 wt. (%) and hydrophilic for 5 wt. (%). Maximum surface roughness was observed for 5 wt. (%). EPNCs cured with DDSA+MNA were shown to be hydrophilic for 0 and 1 wt. (%) and hydrophobic for 3 and 5 wt. (%). The surface roughness decreased as the weight fraction of NPs increased until 3 wt. (%), and then increased for 5 wt. (%).

Versatile product protective coatings that deliver faster drying times and shorter minimum overcoat intervals that enable curing at faster line speeds and though lower energy consumption are often desired by coating manufacturers. Product protective coatings, based on silsesquioxane-modified diglycidyl ether of bisphenol-A (DGEBA) epoxy resin, are prepared through a glycidyl ring-opening polymerization using dicyandiamide (DICY) as a curing agent. As silsesquioxane modifier serves the octaglycidyl-polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (GlyPOSS). To decrease the operational temperature of the curing processes, three different accelerators for crosslinking are tested, i.e., N,N-benzyl dimethylamine, 2-methylimidazole, and commercial Curezol 2MZ-A. Differential scanning calorimetry, temperature-dependent FT-IR spectroscopy, and rheology allow differentiation among accelerators’ effectiveness according to their structure. The former only contributed to epoxy ring-opening, while the latter two, besides participate in crosslinking. The surface roughness of the protective coatings on aluminum alloy substrate decreases when the accelerators are applied. The scanning electron microscopy (SEM) confirms that coatings with accelerators are more homogeneous. The protective efficiency is tested with a potentiodynamic polarization technique in 0.5 M NaCl electrolyte. All coatings containing GlyPOSS, either without or with accelerators, reveal superior protective efficiency compared to neat DGEBA/DICY coating.

New laterally OCH3-substituted optical organic Schiff base/ester series, namely 4-(4-(hexyloxyphenyl)iminomethyl)-3-methoxyphenyl 4-alkoxybenzoates, were prepared and characterized with different thermal, mesomorphic, and photoactive techniques. The prepared group constitutes five homologues that differ from each other in the number of carbons in the terminal alkoxy chain (n), which varies between n = 6, 8, 10, 12, and 16 carbons. The laterally protruded methoxy group is attached to the central benzene ring that makes an angle of 120° with the molecular long axis. Molecular structures of all newly prepared homologues were fully elucidated via FT-IR, 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy. Mesomorphic transitions were determined via differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and the phases identified by polarized optical microscopy (POM). Independent of the length of the terminal alkoxy chain attached to phenyl ester ring, only a monomorphic nematic (N) phase was observed for all the synthesized compounds. A comparative study was made between the present lateral methoxy-substituted homologues and their corresponding laterally-neat analogues. The results revealed that, depending on the length of the alkoxy chain and the presence or absence of the lateral methoxy group, different mesophases with different thermal stability and temperature ranges were observed. Finally, UV-vis spectra showed that the present nematogenic series possess photoactive properties that are of importance for many applications.

Abstract In this study, microcapsules as potential candidates for self-healing agents were prepared by in situ polymerisation, taking place in oil-in-water emulsion. Poly(melamine-formaldehyde) is employed as shell material and diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A as polymerisable core materials and Pentaerythritol Tetrakis(3-Mercaptopropionate) as its hardener. The geometry, shell features, size distributions, core content, and the reactivity of the microcapsules were studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), optical microscopy (OM), Soxhlet extraction method and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Microcapsules with different sizes and distributions were obtained by adjusting the stirring speeds during the preparation stage. From the results, it was established that the spherical microcapsules fabricated using this technique, resulted in satisfactory size and shell structure with shell thickness of less than 2 μm. The microcapsules possess high core content at about 90 wt.% for each size range of microcapsules and it was also observed that the viscosity of the core content decreased at an elevated temperature. The results obtained in this work indicate that these microcapsules possess the characteristics that can be potentially used for self-healing applications.
