To study the relationship between the molecular main chain structure and the properties of amine based tetra-functional epoxy resins, especially for the thermal stabilities and the mechanical properties, N,N,N',N'-Tetraglycidyl-2,2-Bis[4-(4-aminophenoxy)phenyl]propane (TGBAPP) and N,N,N',N'-Tetraglycidyl-4,4'-diamino diphenyl ether (TGDDE) were cured with Methyl nadic anhydride (MNA). The thermal behavior of the cured epoxy resins were studied with the thermo-gravimetric analysis (TGA), and the glass transition temperature (Tg) were determined with the Dynamic Mechanical Analysis (DMA). Additionally, the mechanical properties of them were tested. The results indicated that the cured epoxy resin based on TGBAPP had better thermal stabilities and toughness.

The thermal stabilities of two amine based multifunctional epoxy resins (TGDDE/MNA & TGBAPP/MNA) and two dimer carboxylic acid (DFA) toughened resins (DFA-TGDDE/MNA & DFA-TGBAPP/MNA) were comparatively investigated with the thermo-gravimetric analysis (TG). The TG parameters of the resins indicated that the thermal stability of the resins was increased after the modification. Furthermore, the thermal degradation kinetics was studied with a dynamic method according to Ozawa model, which explained this phenomenon.

In this study, some new chitosan materials were synthesized by the grafting of chitosan with the monomers such as 1-vinylimidazole (VIM), methacrylamide (MAm) and 2-acrylamido-2-methyl-1-propanesulfonic acid (AMPS). First of all, chitosan methacrylate was prepared by esterification of primary -OH group with methacryloyl chloride a 25.13% yield by mole. The monomers were grafted into chitosan methacrylate via free radical polymerization using 2,2and#39;-Azobisisobutyronitrile as an initiator in N,N-dimethylformamide. The graft copolymers were characterized by FT-IR spectra and elemental analysis. Thermal stabilities of the graft copolymers were determined by TGA (thermo gravimetric analysis) method. The synthesized chitosan methacrylate and its graft copolymers were tested for their antimicrobial activity against bacteria and yeast.

In this study, the thermal properties of a kind of new geotextile materials, so called controlled permeable formwork (CPF), were studied. Thermo-gravimetric analysis showed that the weight of CPF didn’t change much between 0~350 °C. Dynamic mechanical analysis showed that the storage modulus of CPF reduced from 25 MPa to around 10 MPa when the temperature rose to above 100 °C. The strength of sample decreased slightly with the increase of the temperature. The breaking elongation changed slightly with a maximum at 80 °C. The CPF showed excellent thermal stability and was suitable for general use in construction work.

The objectives of this paper are study effect of dispersion of hard alumina (Al2O3) microparticles-filled polypropylene (PP) composites. Al2O3/PP composites containing 1.0 – 5.0 wt% of the Al2O3 were prepared through melt blending and specimens were produced through injection moulding technique. This study sets out to evaluate the influence of adding hard particles to the mechanical properties of the composite obtained while keeping the processing characteristics of the material. The material was characterized as thermo gravimetric analysis (TGA) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The tensile tests performed showed an increase in the mechanical properties of the composite (modulus and elongation (%)) by increasing the Al2O3 content. The SEM images show a change in the fracture behavior between pure PP (brittle fracture) and Al2O3/PP composites containing 3.0 and 5.0 wt % (ductile fracture). The research aims to establish a new parameter for the development of products and advances in the application of this material.

This work is concerned with the synthesis and characterization of Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotube (MWCNT) reinforced Kevlar KM2Plus composites with various MWCNT contents (0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, and 0.8 wt. %), by the wet lay-up technique. These samples were experimentally investigated for their thermo-mechanical properties using Thermo-Gravimetric Analysis (TGA), Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC), tensile testing and three-point bending techniques. The mechanical properties showed remarkable improvement with increasing MWCNT wt.% up to certain content. The results revealed that the addition of MWCNT fillers has no significant effect on the thermal stability of the composites.

In order to improve the toughness of the cured aromatic tetrafunctional epoxy resins in the premise of influencing the thermal properties as little as possible, the aromatic tetrafunctional epoxy named N,N,N’,N’-tetraglycidyl-4,4’-diaminodiphenyl ether (TGDDE) was modified by a dimer carboxylic acid (DFA), and then the epoxies were cured with methyl nadic anhydride (MNA). In the present work, the toughness was characterized with the impact resistance tested by pendulum impact testing. Besides, the thermal properties of the cured epoxy resin were investigated with the thermo-gravimetric analysis (TGA) and dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA). The impact testing results indicated that the toughness of the cured resins could be improved after the modification and increased with the increasing content of DFA. The thermal analysis showed that the thermal properties of the cured resins were not influenced obviously since the thermal stabilities of the products could be improved and the glass transition temperature of them were not influenced obviously when the tetrafunctional epoxy modified with appropriate content of DFA.

Single crystals of tris (Thiourea) magnesium sulphate (MTS) were grown from aqueous solution by low temperature solution growth technique. The grown crystals have been characterized by X-ray diffraction to confirm the formation of the crystalline phases. The presence of functional groups was identified by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The optical transmission spectrum showed that a lower cut-off wavelength of MTS crystal is below 300 nm and it has a wide transparency window, which is suitable for second harmonic generation of laser in the blue region. The thermal stabilities were studied by differential thermal analysis (DTA) and thermo gravimetric analysis (TGA). Nonlinear optical characteristics of MTS were studied using Q-switched Nd:YAG laser (λ=1064 nm ). The micro-hardness studies reveal the mechanical properties of the grown crystals.

Fiber reinforced plastics have been widely used for manufacturing aircrafts and spacecrafts structural parts because of their high mechanical, physical properties. These are used in manufacturing of structural composites, printed circuit boards and in a wide range of special-purpose products which are included in medical field as well. Within reinforcing materials chopped strand mats are the most frequently used in structural constructions because of their properties such as viscoelasticity, strength and high thermal stability. The present work focuses on mechanical and thermal properties of chopped strand mat reinforced with polyester resin and filler as graphite powder (which has high melting point) in different weight fractions. Evaluation of material properties is tested using Thermo-Gravimetric Analysis and Dynamic Mechanical analysis at a standard temperature ranging between 20°C - 460°C and evaluated. The results show that inclusion of graphite powder in chopped strand mat exhibit better enhancement in results when compared.

In this work, SC-15 epoxy resin was modified using 0.1–0.3 wt. % of non-functionalized and functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) using conventional and solvent based methods. A high-intensity ultrasonic liquid processor was used to disperse MWCNTs in solvent and to obtain a homogeneous molecular mixture of epoxy resin and MWCNTs. Viscosity, dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA), thermo-gravimetric analysis (TGA), tensile and flexure tests were performed on unfilled and 0.1–0.3 wt. % MWCNTs filled SC-15 epoxy. Preliminary results indicate increase in viscosity with increase in MWCNTs wt. % loading and 0.2 wt. % MWCNTs epoxy samples showed the highest improvement in tensile and flexural properties as compared to the neat system. DMA studies also revealed that 0.2 wt. % doped system exhibit the highest storage modulus and Tg as compared to neat and other loading percentages. TGA results show that amino functionalized MWCNTs samples are more thermally stable.
