Liquid crystalline thermosetting epoxy, 4,4’-Diglycidyloxy-α-methylstilbene (DOMS) was synthesized and characterized with cross-polarized optical microscopy (POM) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Alumina reinforced DOMS composites were fabricated by melt blending with sulfanilamide (SAA) as a curing agent. To investigate thermal degradation behavior, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) was performed under nitrogen atmosphere at the temperature range from 30 to 1000°C. Activation energies for decomposition (Ed) by TGA were determined as a function of conversion by weight loss process.

ABSTRACTTGA and FTIR were employed to investigate the effects of dibutyl phthalate and butyl benzyl phthalate on the thermal degradation behavior of PVB, a binder used commonly for tape casting. Butyl benzyl phthalate was found to enhance the crosslinking of the PVB binder when heated in a nitrogen atmosphere during binder pyrolysis, which retarded its thermal degradation.The interaction between AIN powder and PVB binder was also studied by using TGA, XPS and a special furnace for collecting residual carbon. Intrinsic char and gas phase mediated char were studied separately.

Chitosan possess many attractive properties for applying as biomaterials. For some application, biomaterial devices have to be sterilized using high temperature, e.g. stream sterilizing process. However, thermal degradation behavior of chitosan has been reported previously. Many researchers have attempted to improve thermal degradation behavior of chitosan by synthesize chitosan derivatives or blending chitosan with other polymers or additives. However, chitosan derivatives found to be less thermal stability than chitosan itself. On the contrary, adding some lipid additive could improve thermal stability of chitosan. In this study, protecting effect of aluminum monostearate (Alst) on thermal stability of chitosan was investigated employing thermal analysis techniques, e.g. thermogravimetry (TG), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and hot-stage microscope. Lactic acid solution (2% w/v) was used as solvent for dissolving chitosan. Chitosan solution, named as chtiosan-lactate (CL) and chitosan solution contained 2.5% w/w Alst (CLAlst) were prepared and fabricated into sponges using freeze drying technique. Degradation temperature of CLAlst system investigated from TG was shifted to the higher temperature comparing that of CL which indicated that Alst could improve thermal stability of chitosan after processed as biomaterial. From DSC result, small endothermic peak was observed around 60-70°C for CLAlst whereas that of CL did not exhibit any peak. Melting behavior of the sponges observed under hot-stage microscope was demonstrated that chitosan was decomposed whereas Alst dispersed in chitosan backbone was gradually melted.
