The curing reaction of the system bisphenol-A glycidol ether epoxy resin modified by poly (ethylene glycol) (PEO) and flexible amine (D-230) as curing agent has been studied by means of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermal scanning rheometry. The curing kinetic parameters have been calculated from the non-thermal DSC curve. The kinetic analysis suggests that the two-parameter autocatalytic model is more appropriate to describe the kinetics of the curing reaction of the system. Increasing the PU content leads to an increase in the heat of curing and has a little effect on the kinetic parameters apparent activation energy (Ea), pre-exponential factor (A), and order of the reaction (m and n). The rheological properties were measured by isothermal curing evolution. Introduction of PEO flexible chains delayed the polymerization. It has been confirmed that the introduction of PEO chains in the structure of the epoxy resin increases the mobility of the molecular segment of the epoxy networks and results in the decrease in glass transition temperature.

Two Novolac Resins Were Synthesized by the Reaction between Bisphenol A and Benzaldehyde (bis-BENR) or Bisphenol A and P-hydroxybenzaldehyde (bis-PHNR). Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) Were Applied to Characterize the Molecular Structure of Bis-BENR (or Bis-PHNR). then the Two Novolac Resins Were Used as Curing Agent for Bisphenol A Type Epoxy Resin (DGEBA). the Curing Reaction and Curing Kinetics Were Studied by Dynamic FTIR and Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC). Dynamic FTIR Showed that the Two Novolac Resins Reacted with Epoxy Resins and Formed a Crosslinking Network Structure. DSC Results Show that the Optimum Mass Ratio between DGEBA and Bis-BENR (or Bis-PHNR) Was 7:3, under which the Curing Reaction Processed Completely. the Mechanical Properties and Sulfide Resistance of DGEBA/bis-BENR (or Bis-PHNR) System Were Also Investigated. the Results Showed that when the Mass Ratio between DGEBA and Bis-BENR (or Bis-PHNR) Was 7:3, the Curing Coatings Had Optimum Mechanical Properties and Sulfide Resistance.

Abstract A novel type of aramid fibers coated with poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ether (PEGME)-modified multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) was designed using electrophoresis. Owing to the good interaction of MWCNT-PEGME with the matrix, the coated fibers were well dispersed in epoxy resin. Thin films of epoxy/aramid-MWCNT-PEGME were prepared by placing the modified aramid fibers in molds, and the epoxy resin was infused into them. 4,4′-Diaminodiphenylmethane was dissolved in epoxy before the resin was poured over the aramid fibers coated with MWCNT-PEGME. According to fracture surface studies, the modified fibers were completely miscible with the epoxy resin and the filler was dispersed well in the space between the aramid fibers. The tensile strength of neat resin was increased from 658 to 1198 MPa in 40 wt.% of fiber-loaded epoxy/aramid-MWCNT-PEGME 40 composite. The maximum flexural strength was also found to be higher for epoxy/aramid-MWCNT-PEGME 40 (1593 MPa). The glass transition temperature (Tg) was studied using differential scanning calorimetry, in the range of 164–173°C. The tensile strength, modulus, flexural strength, and Tg of epoxy/aramid fiber composites with unmodified fibers were found to be lower than those of epoxy/aramid-MWCNT-PEGME composites.

Various three-dimensional printing (3DP) technologies have been investigated so far in relation to their potential to produce customizable medicines and medical devices. The aim of this study was to examine the possibility of tailoring drug release rates from immediate to prolonged release by varying the tablet thickness and the drug loading, as well as to develop artificial neural network (ANN) predictive models for atomoxetine (ATH) release rate from DLP 3D-printed tablets. Photoreactive mixtures were comprised of poly(ethylene glycol) diacrylate (PEGDA) and poly(ethylene glycol) 400 in a constant ratio of 3:1, water, photoinitiator and ATH as a model drug whose content was varied from 5% to 20% (w/w). Designed 3D models of cylindrical shape tablets were of constant diameter, but different thickness. A series of tablets with doses ranging from 2.06 mg to 37.48 mg, exhibiting immediate- and modified-release profiles were successfully fabricated, confirming the potential of this technology in manufacturing dosage forms on demand, with the possibility to adjust the dose and release behavior by varying drug loading and dimensions of tablets. DSC (differential scanning calorimetry), XRPD (X-ray powder diffraction) and microscopic analysis showed that ATH remained in a crystalline form in tablets, while FTIR spectroscopy confirmed that no interactions occurred between ATH and polymers.

AbstractBiodegradable films of methoxy poly(ethylene glycol)-b-poly(DL-lactideco- glycolide-co-ε-caprolactone) diblock copolymers (MPEG-b-PDLLGCL) were prepared by solution casting method. Effects of MPEG block length and DLL:G:CL ratio of the MPEG-b-PDLLGCL films on their mechanical properties and hydrolytic degradation were studied and discussed. It was found that the mechanical properties of films were strongly dependent on glass transition temperatures (Tg) of the diblock copolymers. The hydrolytic degradation was investigated in phosphatebuffered solution at 37°C. The degraded films were characterized using gravimetry (%water uptake and %weight loss), 1H-NMR spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry and size exclusion chromatography. The %weight loss of the degraded films increased and molecular weight decreased on increasing the MPEG block length and incorporating the G and CL units, according to their %water uptakes. The MPEG content of the degraded film decreased and the Tg increased with hydrolytic degradation time.

This work presents a different approach to preparing polymer electrolytes having borate ester groups for lithium ion batteries. The polymers were synthesized by reaction between poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ether (PEGME) and BH3-THF complex. Molecular weight of PEGMEs was changed with different chain lengths. Then the polymer electrolytes comprising boron were prepared by doping of the matrices with CF3SO3Li at various molar ratios with respect to EO to Li and they are abbreviated as PEGMEX-B-Y. The identification of the PEGME-borate esters was carried out by FTIR and 1H NMR spectroscopy. Thermal properties of these electrolytes were investigated via thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The ionic conductivity of these novel polymer electrolytes was studied by dielectric-impedance spectroscopy. Lithium ion conductivity of these electrolytes was changed by the length of PEGME as well as the doping ratios. They exhibit approximate conductivities of 10−4 S·cm−1 at 30°C and 10−3 S·cm−1 at 100°C.

The synthesis of Lignin Base Epoxy Resin was based on industrial alkali lignin, and lignin-based epoxy resin curing characteristics were analyzed using the thermal weight loss technology under the oxygen atmosphere conditions. In light of the infra-red analysis of raw materials, the curing reaction kinetic parameters of lignin-based epoxy resin system were calculated using the Kissinger-Crane and Flynn-Wall-Ozawa method, and the curing reaction kinetics model of lignin-based epoxy resin system was established. The results showed that the kinetic parameters obtained using two methods were approximate, which validated that the curing reaction was consistent with the principle of the first-order reaction model. Initial curing temperature Ti0=454.88 K, curing temperature Tp0=507.55 K, and terminal temperature Tf0=598.77 K of lignin-based epoxy resin system were obtained when the extrapolation method was applied.
