A series of polyols (GSOLs) with a range of hydroxyl numbers based on epoxidized soybean oil (ESO) were prepared by ring opening with glycol. These Polyols of hydroxyl (OH) numbers ranging from 111 to 162 mg KOH/g were obtained. The environmentally friendly soybean-oil-based waterborne polyurethane dispersions (SPU) with very promising properties have been successfully synthesized from a series of soybean-oil-based polyols (GSOLs) with different hydroxyl numbers by a polyaddition reaction with toluene 2,4-diisocyanate (2,4-TDI). The structure and thermophysical properties of the resulting SPU films have been studied by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, thermogravimetric analysis, and hardness testing. The experimental results showed that the functionality of the GSOLs and the hard segment content play a key role in controlling the structure and the thermophysical properties of the SPU films.

A variety of castor oil-based cationic polyurethane dispersions (PUDs) were synthesized. The effects of hard segment content on the properties of PUDs and the resulting polyurethane films were investigated by mastersizer, Fourier transform infrared (IR), thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) and stress-strain test. As the hard segment content increased from 37.1 to 45.6 wt %, the particle size of the PUDs increased from 10 to 190 nm. IR analysis showed that hydrogen bonding between hard segments enhanced with the increase of hard segment content. For this enhancement the films had an increased tensile strength from 2.0 to 9.4 MPa and an improved glass transition temperature (Tg) from 48oC to 75oC. TGA showed the films were thermally stable up to 200oC and had biphasic degradation at around 330oC and 440oC. The versatile castor oil-based cationic waterborne polyurethanes are promising in applications as adhesives and coatings.

The novel zirconatetraferrocenylcyclotrisiloxane Cp2Zr(OSiFc2)2O (6), dizirconatetraferrocenylcyclotetrasiloxane [Cp2Zr(OSiFc2)O]2 (7), boratetraferrocenylcyclotrisiloxane (C6H5)B(OSiFc2)2O (8), and diboratetraferrocenylcyclotetrasiloxane [(C6H5)B(OSiFc2)O]2 (9) with ferrocenyl (Fc = Fe(η-C5H4)(η-C5H5)) substituents at silicon have been prepared from the reactions of Cp2Zr(NMe2)2 and PhBCl2 with diferrocenylsilanediol Fc2Si(OH)2 (3) and tetraferrocenyldisiloxanediol [Fc2SiOH]2O (5). The compounds were characterized by mass spectrometry, elemental analysis, UV–vis, IR, Raman, and multinuclear NMR spectroscopy, as well as single crystal X-ray diffraction. Thermogravimetric analysis and differential scanning calorimetry investigation of 6–9 showed that the cycles decompose before they can undergo any thermal ring-opening polymerization. In addition, no polymerization was detected in the presence of either KOSiMe3 or HOTf. The bulky ferrocenyl substituents on the Si atoms are likely to be at least partially responsible for the inability of these heterocycles to undergo ring-opening polymerization. Key words: heterocyclosiloxanes, ferrocenyl.

ABSTRACTThe intermetallic Pu6Fe is a precipitate commonly found in standard-purity Pu alloys. We are interested in measuring thermophysical properties of this intermetallic, so we are developing methods for producing Pu6Fe with potential for being scaled up. We had success using a powder-based method, where finely divided PuH2 powder was mechanically mixed with Fe powder and reacted in vacuum. Differential scanning calorimetry was used to analyze the phase content of the product. We estimate ∼90% yield of Pu6Fe by weight, with the remainder being Pu. Enthalpy of melting for Pu6Fe was measured to be 31.2 J/g, and the onset temperature was 411.5°C. The product was melted 3 times and appeared to become more homogeneous after each cycle.

The ring-opening polymerization of ε-caprolactone (ε-CL) and rac-lactide (rac-LA) under solvent-free conditions and using 1-n-butyl-3-methylimidazolium-2-carboxylate (BMIM-2-CO2) as precatalyst is described. Linear and star-branched polyesters were synthesized by successive use of benzyl alcohol, ethylene glycol, glycerol and pentaerythritol as initiator alcohols, and the products were fully characterized by 1H and 13C{1H} NMR spectroscopy, gel permeation chromatography (GPC), and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). BMIM-2-CO2 acts as an N-heterocyclic carbene precursor, resulting from in situ decarboxylation, either by heating under vacuo (method A) or by addition of NaBPh4 (method B). Possible catalytic and deactivation mechanisms are proposed.

Abstract An investigation on the cooling-induced crystallization in three thermoplastic polyurethanes based on MDI, PTMG, and 1.4-BD as chain extender with different hard segment content is reported. Thermal transitions were determined using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) measurements at different cooling rates, and thermal stability was studied by thermogravimetric analysis. Changes in Raman spectra were useful to correlate the thermal transitions with changes in the morphology of the polymers. The dissimilarity in the composition gave different rheological behavior in the molten state, indicated by the temperature dependence of the viscosity. The mechanical properties and the crystallinity was influenced not only by the cooling rate but also by the hard segment content. Thermoplastic polyurethanes with more hard segment content formed more crystalline hard domains as evidenced by the DSC and atomic force microscopy results.

Abstract This paper presents a description of research works to determine the thermophysical properties of a tin-lithium alloy with a different percentage of lithium and tin atoms in the alloy. The method of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) was used for the studies, by which the thermophysical properties of the alloy (temperature of phase transition and enthalpy) were determined. The work was carried out at the TiGrA experimental complex. Studies to determine the enthalpy and temperature of phase transition of prototypes of tin-lithium alloy were carried out in the temperature range from 150°C to 500°C at a heating rate of 10°C/min. The experiments were carried out with a pristine sample of tin (reference) and prototypes of a tin-lithium alloy, the percentage of lithium in which was 20, 25 and 27 at. %. As a result of the work performed, the melting point of the prototypes was determined, which was 224°C and 218°C. The values of the specific heat of fusion (enthalpy) of the investigated alloys were determined, which amounted to 76.5 J/g, 80.7 J/g and 86.3 J/g, respectively.
