Composites are multi-phase materials that have superior engineering properties; the combination of their constituent phases achieves these properties. Nanoparticle-reinforced polymeric composites (NPCs) are new types of composites that have attracted a lot of attention recently and rapidly emerging as a multidisciplinary research activity whose results could widen the applications of polymers to the benefit of many different industries. The aim of research to analyze the effect of adding different percentages (10, 20, and 30%) of silica nanoparticles into unsaturated polyester (UPE) and identification of the thermal stability and decomposition kinetics for them. In this research, the nanocomposites were prepared from unsaturated polyester (UPE) mixed with different percentages (10, 20, and 30%) of silica nanoparticles. Thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) curves were obtained from the thermal degradation computed by using the Coats-Redfern. The kinetic and thermodynamic parameters were studied for all specimens were presented an excellent linear correlation coefficient close to unity using Minitab 16. Experimental work was showed that the degradation of composites obtained from the thermal gravimetric analysis was slower than the pure UPE. The enhancement of thermal stability was attributed to silica content. Also, the result showed that the decomposition under the oxidative environment for the pure UPE was much faster than the inert environment.

Thermal degradation of the composite blend consisting unsaturated polyester resin, alumina trihydrate and silica aerogel was studied using thermal gravimetric analysis. Composite filled with silica aerogel show lower density and slightly improve the thermal stability of the pure polymer. The addition of alumina trihydrate slows down the degradation of the polymer due to the release of bond water while the combination of silica aerogel and alumina trihydrate in polyester matrix does not interrupt the function of alumina trihydrate due to inert properties of silica aerogel.

The use of 2,2-bis(4-[(2-carboxy-5-furyl)oxy]phenyl)propane as a Diels-Alder based co-reactant for curing bismaleimides was investigated. Differential scanning calorimetry and thermal gravimetric analysis were used to study the thermal behaviour of this reactant on its own and in the presence of 1,1'-(4methylene-4,1-phenylene)bismaleimide. The range of products formed under different cure conditions was determined by vFnR spectroscopy. The DMTA characteristics and thermal stability of cured laminates made from this resin system have been investigated. It is concluded that the thermal stability and other properties of laminates made from this system are only comparable to those of a typical commercial bismaleimide system.

The thermal stability and decomposition of in-situ crosslinked nanocellulose whiskers – poly(methyl vinyl ether-co-maleic acid) – polyethylene glycol formulations (PMVEMA-PEG), (25%, 50%, and 75% whiskers) – were investigated using thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) methods. The thermal degradation behavior of the films varied according to the percent cellulose whiskers in each formulation. The presence of cellulose whiskers increased the thermal stability of the PMVEMA-PEG matrix.

This study investigated the preparation and properties of polyaniline/silver (PAn/Ag2O) nanocomposite in aqueous media by chemical polymerization of aniline in the presence of ammonium peroxydisulphate as an oxidant. The products were investigated in terms of morphology, chemical structure, thermal stability and thermal degradation using scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared, thermal gravimetric analysis and differential scanning calorimetry, respectively. The results indicated that the properties of products were dependent on the nanocomposite structure.

AbstractSoak of polyurethane-based CMP pads in tungsten slurry and de-ionized water and its effect on retention of thermal and mechanical properties of the pads was studied using Dynamic Mechanical Analysis (DMA), Thermal Mechanical Analysis (TMA), Thermal Gravimetric Analysis (TGA), and Modulated Differential Scanning Calorimetry (MDSC). Simultaneous cross-linking and plastisizing due to soak were established using DMA and MDSC analysis. The stable operating temperature range and its dependence on soak time were determined using TMA analysis. Substantial difference in diffusion behavior of the “soft” and “hard” pads was discovered: diffusion into the hard pads followed Fickian law [1], while diffusion into the multi-layer soft pads was dominated by the fast filling of the highly porous pad surface with liquid.During a traditional CMP process, which involves application of polishing pads and slurry, the pad properties can be substantially and irreversibly changed as the result of slurry/rinse water absorption.The retention of the pad properties after exposure was monitored using such thermal and mechanical techniques, as Thermal Mechanical Analysis (TMA), Dynamical Mechanical Analysis (DMA), Modulated Differential Scanning Calorimetry (MDSC), Thermal Gravimetric Analysis (TGA).

Different retting methods were employed in hemp retting, treated hemp fibers by various retting methods were characterized by residual gum content, fineness, tenacity, elongation, and thermal gravimetric analysis. The results indicated that alkali-oxygen one bath process was satisfactory, which achieved hemp fiber with 2.14 tex, residual gum content 2.99% and tenacity 54.33 cN/tex.

The glasses of lithium-sodium tetragermanate LiNaGe4O9 and solid solution Li1.8Na0.2Ge4O9 were prepared by quenching the melt and crystallized on heating. The glass crystallization was controlled by differential scanning calorimetry and thermal gravimetric analysis. The DSC measurements performed in the range 300–1200 K show that the crystallization of the glasses occurs through a single stage. There are no anomalies on TGA dependences. It is assumed that LiNaGe4O9 and Li 1.8Na0.2Ge4O9 glasses crystallize in accordance with a polymorphic mechanism.

AbstractThe present paper deals with a study of the thermal properties of bagasse fiber (BF)-reinforced epoxy composites. BFs are subjected to untreated and chemical treatments with 1% sodium hydroxide followed by 1% acrylic acid at ambient temperature before the composites are made. The thermal stability of the components was studied by thermogravimetric analysis and differential scanning calorimetry, as well as by differential thermal gravimetric analysis. Thermal analysis results of untreated BF-reinforced epoxy composite were compared with treated BF-reinforced epoxy composite. The chemical treatment of BF induces reasonable changes in the thermal stability of the polymer composites.
