Microcapsules containing the mixture of styrene and epoxydiacrylate (St/E51-AA) for use in self-healing thermoplastic composites were synthesized by in-situ polymerization using melamine-formaldehyde (MF) as shell materials. The microcapsules were prepared in two consecutive steps, emulsification of St/E51-AA in water and then, encapsulation. The chemical structure of microcapsule was identified by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H-NMR), respectively. Morphology and shell wall thickness of microcapsule were observed using scanning electron microscope (SEM). The effect of dispersion rates, through a limited range, was carefully examined on the particle size and core content of microcapsules. It was found that styrene/ epoxydiacrylate-loaded microcapsules were successfully prepared through the proposed technical route, and their mean diameters fell in the range of 36~110 μm. Both core content and microcapsule size can be adjusted by selecting different dispersion rates. The highest loading of St/E51-AA in the resultant microcapsules can be about 85%. In terms of thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), thermal behavior and storage stability of the capsules were studied.

For purposes of developing a novel self-healing chemistry for polymer composites, melamine-formaldehyde (MF) resin-walled microcapsules containing styrene were prepared by in-situ polymerization in an oil-in-water emulsion. Chemical structure of the microcapsules was identified by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H NMR), respectively. In addition, scanning electron microscope (SEM) and optical microscope (OM) were used to investigate morphology and geometry of the product. The effects of dispersion rate, weight ratio of core to shell and emulsifier concentration were carefully analyzed. It was found that poly(melamine-formaldehyde) (PMF) microcapsules containing styrene were successfully synthesized through the proposed technical route, and their mean diameters fall in the range of 20~71 µm. The rough surface of the microcapsules is composed of agglomerated PMF nanoparticles. Both core content and size of the microcapsule can be adjusted by selecting different processing parameters. The highest loading of styrene in the capsules is about 60% and the emulsifier with lower molecular weight used to result in higher core content. In terms of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), thermal behavior and storage stability of the capsules were studied. The results indicated that the microcapsules can be handled up to 72 oC.

Microcapsules were prepared by in situ polymerization of melamine-formaldehyde resin to form shell over oxygen resin droplets. Stirring rate, temperature, pH value as well as mass ratio of shell and core are the main parameters affecting the stability of microcapsules. High stirring rate leads to small size of microcapsules. The temperature influences the speed of the reaction and the morphology. The pH value decides whether the condensation reaction can take place. The size of microcapsules is about 15-61um.

Microcapsules of melamine formaldehyde-coated shellac and waterborne coating were prepared by in situ polymerization at 400, 600, 800 and 1000 rpm. The microcapsules prepared at four different stirring rates were added into the waterborne primer at a concentration of 5.0%, 10.0%, 15.0%, 20.0% and 25.0%. The effects of microcapsules prepared at different stirring rates and the concentration of microcapsules added into the paint film on the optical, mechanical and liquid resistance properties of the paint film were investigated. The results showed that the comprehensive performance of Tilia europaea L. waterborne primer film was the best when the concentration of microcapsules obtained at 600 rpm was 5.0%. On this basis, the aging resistance and self-healing performance of waterborne primer film on Tilia europaea L. with the best comprehensive performance were explored to lay the foundation for optimizing the preparation process of self-healing coating.

Fiber impregnation has been the main obstacle for thermoplastic matrix with high viscosity. This problem could be surmounted by adapting low viscous polymeric precursors Woven basalt fabric reinforced poly (butylenes terephthalate) composites were produced via in-situ polymerization at T=210°C. Before polymerization, catalyst was introduced to the reinforcement surface with different concentration. DSC is used to determine the polymerization and crystallization. SEM is used to detect whether the catalyst existed on surface. Both flexural and short-beam shear test are employed to study the corresponding mechanical properties.

The nano-CeO2 was synthesized by two-step solid-phase reaction. The image of TEM showed that nano-CeO2 with an average size of about 70 nm. The series of polyaniline/nano-CeO2 composites with different PANi: CeO2 ratios were prepared by in-situ polymerization in the presence of hydrochloric acid (HCl) as dopant by adding nano-CeO2 into the polymerization reaction mixture of aniline. The composites obtained were characterized by FT-IR and UV-vis spectroscopy analysis. The FT-IR spectra of nanocomposites indicate different blue-shifts, attributed to C–N stretching mode for benzenoid unit. The UV-vis spectra of nanocomposites display einstein-shifts compared with PANi at 620nm. The conductivity properties of the composites are also changed compare to the pure PANi. These results suggest that the interactions between the polymer matrix and nanoparticles take place in polyaniline/nano- CeO2 composites.

The present work focuses on the preparation of poly(l–lactide)–magnesium oxide whiskers (PLLA–MgO) composites by the in-situ polymerization method for bone repair and implant. PLLA–MgO composites were evaluated using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and solid-state 13C and 1H nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR). It was found that the whiskers were uniformly dispersed in the PLLA matrix through the interfacial interaction bonding between PLLA and MgO; thereby, the MgO whisker was found to be well-distributed in the PLLA matrix, and biocomposites with excellent interface bonding were produced. Notably, the MgO whisker has an effect on the crystallization behavior and mechanical properties; moreover, the in vivo degradation of PLLA–MgO composites could also be adjusted by MgO. These results show that the whisker content of 0.5 wt % and 1.0 wt % exhibited a prominent nucleation effect for the PLLA matrix, and specifically 1.0 wt % MgO was found to benefit the enhanced mechanical properties greatly. In addition, the improvement of the degrading process of the composite illustrated that the MgO whisker can effectively regulate the degradation of the PLLA matrix as well as raise its bioactivity. Hence, these results demonstrated the promising application of PLLA–MgO composite to serve as a biomedical material for bone-related repair.

In this paper, the magnetite/polyaniline (PANI) nanocomposite was prepared by the novel reverse in situ polymerization method. Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles were synthesized in situ in PANI chloroform solution to form a suspension containing the Fe3O4/PANI nanocomposite. It overcame the disadvantage of oxidation of the Fe3O4 by the oxidant in conventional method. The Fe3O4/PANI chloroform suspension and the Fe3O4/PANI powder were characterized by FT-IR, TEM, XRD, vibrating sample magnetometer, Gouy magnetic balance, conductivity meter, and vector network analyzer. It is demonstrated that the Fe3O4/PANI suspension has a good electrical conductivity that is up to 2.135 μS/cm at the optimal ratio of reactants. The Fe3O4 nanoparticles are well dispersed in the PANI network with a particle size of about 10 nm. Fe3O4/PANI powder has high saturation magnetization and magnetic susceptibility, as well as a broad application prospect in the field of electromagnetic devices. The Fe3O4/PANI powder exhibits an excellent microwave absorption behavior, which can be an outstanding candidate for the rapid development of broadband shielding materials.
