An epoxy adhesive and its curing agent are tested using differential scaning calorimetry under different atmospheres and after different exposure times to natural air to analyze its thermal properties. The results show that after the pure epoxy, the curing agent and the adhesive mixture of them are exposed in natural air for different period of time, all show different levels of decline in thermal stability and more complicated reactions when tested in the DSC and TGA in O2 and air, while the thermal properties remain stable when they are tested in an inert gas like N2. And according to the mechanical property tests and SEM results, the mechanical properties of the adhesive mixture in N2 are better than that in air. The results indicate that inert gas can protect the property of this kind of adhesive and thus increase its bond strength.

In recent years, there has been considerable interest in the use of natural fibers as potential reinforcing fillers in polymer composites despite their hydrophilicity, which limits their widespread commercial application. The present study explored the fabrication of nanocomposites by melt mixing, using an internal mixer followed by a compression molding technique, and incorporating rice husk (RH) as a renewable natural filler, montmorillonite (MMT) nanoclay as water-resistant reinforcing nanoparticles, and polypropylene-grafted maleic anhydride (PP-g-MAH) as a compatibilizing agent. To correlate the effect of MMT delamination and MMT/RH dispersion in the composites, the mechanical and thermal properties of the composites were studied. XRD analysis revealed delamination of MMT platelets due to an increase in their interlayer spacing, and SEM micrographs indicated improved dispersion of the filler(s) from the use of compatibilizers. The mechanical properties were improved by the incorporation of MMT into the PP/RH system and the reinforcing effect was remarkable as a result of the use of compatibilizing agent. Prolonged water exposure of the prepared samples decreased their tensile and flexural properties. Interestingly, the maximum decrease was observed for PP/RH composites and the minimum was for MMT-reinforced and PP-g-MAH-compatibilized PP/RH composites. DSC results revealed an increase in crystallinity with the addition of filler(s), while the melting and crystallization temperatures remained unaltered. TGA revealed that MMT addition and its delamination in the composite systems improved the thermal stability of the developed nanocomposites. Overall, we conclude that MMT nanoclay is an effective water-resistant reinforcing nanoparticle that enhances the durability, mechanical properties, and thermal stability of composites.

In this work, Poly Lactic Acid/Poly methyl Methacrylate (PLA/PMMA) blends in various compositions prepared and morphology and properties of these blends was investigated. Moreover, the effect of adding different amounts of Graphene Nanoplatelets (GNP) on the morphology of the blends (by SEM), the interaction of nanopalates with polymer phases (by FTIR) and its effect on the mechanical properties and thermal stability of the samples were examined. The results of the study showed that in different amounts of graphene, these plates were preferentially located in the polymer phases dissimilarly and thus, caused the change of the blend morphology. In addition, measuring the mechanical properties by tensile test and results of thermal analysis by TGA indicated the improvement of thermal stability, modulus and mechanical strength and reduction of the elongation at break of graphene containing blends with increasing the loading of GNP. The changing behavior of the mechanical and thermal properties was proportional to the Graphene localization in blend phases.

General Method

There has been a number of works trying to improve thermal stability of PVC as it is one of the most widely used plastics for various applications. The incorporation of heat stabilizer is a general method to stabilize PVC. However, its thermal stability could also be improved by blending with polyethylene. Organoclay, montmorillonite (MMT) in particular, has been found to improve thermal stability of polymers due to its high temperature resistance. This research is aimed to use organic modified MMT (OMMT) to improve thermal property of PVC. It was found from the research that organic grafted MMT (O-g-MMT) could improve thermal stability of PVC better than OMMT. The mechanical properties of O-g-MMT/PVC and OMMT/PVC of the blends were also reported

AbstractLignin was used to study the mechanical properties and thermal stability of polymers. The lignin was blended with three kinds of polymers, and the addition of lignin was 0.5 wt%. Under the condition of thermal oxidation, the thermal stability of lignin/polymer samples varies with the structure of lignin. The effects of lignin on the mechanical properties and thermal stability of the polymers were investigated by oxidation induction time (OIT), rheological properties, mechanical properties and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The results show that the effect of lignin on the thermal properties of polymer samples is 2~3°C. It can be inferred that lignin can effectively improve the interaction between polymer molecular chain segments, and improve the crystallization rate and rigidity to a certain extent, so it can be seen that lignin has good compatibility and thermal stability.

Polymethylsilsesquioxane (PMSQ) nanoparticles with mass percentages of 0, 2.5, 5.0, 7.2, 9.4 wt %, respectively, were constructed by molecular dynamics methods in this paper. Composite molecular models were established using PMSQ and MPIA (poly-metaphenylene isophthalamide) fiber. The influence of different PMSQ contents on the thermal stability of meta-aramid insulation paper was analyzed from the parameters of mechanical property, interaction energy, and mean square displacement. The results showed that the trend of mechanical properties decreased with the increase of PMSQ content. When the PMSQ content was 2.5 wt %, the mechanical properties of the composited model were the best, which was about 24% higher than that of the unmodified model. From an intermolecular bonding and nonbonding point of view, the energy parameters of composite model with the 2.5 wt % content was better than those of the composite model with other contents. Therefore, it is considered that MPIA can interact better with the 2.5 wt % content PMSQ composite model. When the PMSQ content is 2.5 wt %, the overall chain movement in the composite model is slower than that of the unmodified model, which can effectively inhibit the diffusion movement of the MPIA chain. In general, the thermal stability of composite molecular models MPIA and PMSQ (2.5 wt %) was better improved.

Abstract The aim of this work was to develop polymer blends of plasticized thermoplastic waxy starch (TPS) and poly(ɛ-caprolactone) (PCL) using the largest amount of TPS possible to obtain a biodegradable material motivated by sustainability issues and to replace petrochemical-based polymers with alternatives based on biopolymers. Addition of TPS to other polymers has been used to obtain cheaper and increasingly biodegradable final products. However, TPS presents limited mechanical properties, and mixing with other polymers such as PCL is necessary to overcome these limitations and improve its processability. TPS was processed by extrusion and thermo-compression using 30 wt% glycerol. The blends were suitably processed by extrusion and further injected. The TPS/PCL blends were studied by varying the amount of PCL in a range of 10 wt% in increasing order of addition. Thermal analysis showed that introducing PCL in TPS increased Tonset because of the higher thermal stability of the former, and that the obtained blends presented a behavior intermediate to that of neat polymers.

The aim of this research was to reduce and improve the brittleness and thermal properties of poly lactic acid (PLA), respectively. Epoxidized natural rubber (ENR) was used to enhance the toughness and rutile titanium dioxide (R-TiO2) as filler was also incorporated to improve the thermal properties of the PLA. 10wt% ENR with epoxidation contents of 25 mol% (ENR25) and 50 mol% (ENR50) and various R-TiO2contents (0-10 phr)were compounded with PLA by using a twin-screw extruder at 155-165°C and a rotor speed of 40 rpm. The pellets of blends were then formed a thin film using a cast film extruder machine and cooled down under air flow. Thermal and mechanical properties and morphology of PLA/ENR/R-TiO2thin film were investigated. The crystallinity of PLA was found to increase with addition of ENR. The mechanical properties of thin film showed that the ENR50 enhanced the elongation but reduced the tensile strength of PLA with addition of R-TiO2at 5 and 10 phr, respectively. The TGA indicated that the addition of 10 phr R-TiO2increased in the decomposition temperature at 5% weight loss (Td5%) of PLA/ENR film. Thus the thermal stability of PLA/ENR50 was found to improve with addition of R-TiO2. From morphology study, the ENR50 phase showed a good dispersion in the PLA matrix. In conclusion, the addition of ENR and R-TiO2was found to enhance both toughness and thermal stability of PLA.

The present project investigated the thermal stability of cold-setting refractory composites under high-temperature cycles. The proposed route dealt with the feasibility of using fillers with different particle sizes and studying their influence on the thermo-mechanical properties of refractory geopolymer composites. The volumetric shrinkage was studied with respect to particle sizes of fillers (80, 200 and 500 µm), treatment temperature (1050–1250 °C) and amount of fillers (70–85 wt.%). The results, combined with thermal analysis, indicated the efficiency of refractory-based kyanite aggregates for enhancing thermo-mechanical properties. At low temperatures, larger amounts of kyanite aggregates promoted mechanical strength development. Flexural strengths of 45, 42 and 40 MPa were obtained for geopolymer samples, respectively, at 1200 °C, made with filler particles sieved at 80, 200 and 500 µm. In addition, a sintering temperature equal to 1200 °C appeared beneficial for the promotion of densification as well as bonding between kyanite aggregates and the matrix, contributing to the reinforcement of the refractory geopolymer composites without any sign of vitrification. From the obtained properties of thermal stability, good densification and high strength, kyanite aggregates are efficient and promising candidates for the production of environmentally friendly, castable refractory composites.
