脂肪族聚酰胺热膨胀行为的研究

通过热膨胀测试,示差扫描量热分析(DSC)、广角X射线衍射(WAXD)与傅里叶变换红外光谱(FTIR)等方法研究了4种脂肪族聚酰胺玻璃化转变温度(Tg)、结晶行为以及氢键强度对热膨胀行为的影响,探索了影响脂肪族聚酰胺热膨胀的本质.DSC和X射线衍射结果表明,聚酰胺中结晶部分的热膨胀系数要低于无定形部分,但聚酰胺的熔融温度和结晶度对热膨胀的影响不够明确.相比较其它脂肪族聚酰胺,聚酰胺56(PA56)具有较高的玻璃化转变温度和较低的亚甲基/酰胺基(CH2/CONH)比例,表现出较低的热膨胀系数.研究发现,在相同条件下制备的脂肪族聚酰胺体系中,CH2/CONH比例或Tg与热膨胀系数具有明显的线性关系,随着CH2/CONH比例的降低或Tg的升高,热膨胀系数显著减小.FTIR的结果表明,聚酰胺分子链间的氢键密度和氢键强度随温度升高衰减的程度是影响其热膨胀行为的关键因素.     

A Material Showing Colossal Positive and Negative Volumetric Thermal Expansion with Hysteretic Magnetic Transition

It is an ongoing challenge to design and synthesize magnetic materials that undergo colossal thermal expansion and that possess potential applications as microscale or nanoscale actuators with magnetic functionality. A paramagnetic metallocyanate building block was used to construct a cyanide‐bridged Fe‐Co complex featuring both positive and negative colossal volumetric thermal‐expansion behavior. A detailed study revealed that metal‐to‐metal charge transfer between 180 and 240 K induced a volumetric thermal expansion coefficient of 1498 MK⁻¹ accompanied with hysteretic spin transition. Rotation of the magnetic building blocks induced change of π⋅⋅⋅π interactions, resulting in a negative volume expansion coefficient of −489 MK⁻¹, and another hysteretic magnetic transition between 300 and 350 K. This work presents a strategy for incorporating both colossal positive and negative volumetric thermal expansion with shape and magnetic memory effects in a material.     

PVT properties of dodecane/polystyrene systems

The PVT properties of crosslinked polystyrene samples containing various amounts of dodecane were measured. The Tait equation was used to describe the PVT behavior of each system in both the glassy and rubbery regions. The glass transition temperature was determined from the abrupt change of the thermal expansion coefficient. Increase in the dodecane content in the samples resulted in a significant decrease of the difference between the expansion coefficients in the glassy and rubbery regions. Addition of dodecane lowered the glass transition temperature linearly. However, the dependence of the glass transition temperature on pressure was not affected by the presence of dodecane in the polymer samples. Above the glass transition temperature, the volume of the swollen polymer, V_m, could be determined by simple addition of the volumes of the pure components at the appropriate temperature and pressure; the volume change of mixing, δV_m, was independent of temperature and pressure. Below the glass transition temperature, volume additivity of the two components was also applicable after appropriate adjustment of the glass transition temperature of the polymer to that of the dodecane/polymer samples. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Thermal and mechanical characteristics of polyurethane/curaua fiber composites

Polyurethane composites reinforced with curaua fiber at 5, 10 and 20% mass/mass proportions were prepared by using the conventional melt-mixing method. The influence of curaua fibers on the thermal behavior and polymer cohesiveness in polyurethane matrix was evaluated by dynamic mechanical thermal analysis (DMTA) and by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). This specific interaction between the fibers and the hard segment domain was influenced by the behavior of the storage modulus E′ and the loss modulus E″ curves. The polyurethane PU80 is much stiffer and resistant than the other composites at low temperatures up to 70°C. All samples were thermoplastic and presented a rubbery plateau over a wide temperature range above the glass transition temperature and a thermoplastic flow around 170°C.     

基体分子运动对聚偏氟乙烯/碳纤维复合材料的聚合物基正温度系数性能的影响

聚合物基正温度系数(PTC)材料中,基体分子在熔体状态下的运动能力可显著影响填料分布、PTC强度及稳定重复性等,明确其机理有利于高灵敏性且稳定可重复的PTC复合材料的设计与制备.通过探究基体熔体黏度不同的聚偏氟乙烯(PVDF)/碳纤维(CF)的电阻-温度响应行为,可以发现复合材料PTC转变温度区间仅取决于基体化学结构与结晶性,而PTC循环稳定性却受到基体分子运动能力的显著影响.当基体分子运动能力较强时,分子链极易黏附填料在CF表面形成包覆层,导致局部填料间距增大到隧穿距离以上,不利于复合材料导电网络的重建,导致随热循环次数增加,复合材料的室温电阻率有所升高,PTC可重复性略微降低.而对基体分子链缠结明显的PVDF/CF复合材料中,运动能力较弱的分子链不会包覆CF粒子,在多次升温-降温循环后导电通路能恢复到初始状态,复合材料呈现良好的PTC可重复性,将其应用于电路过热保护装置时,复合材料表现出灵敏的温度响应特性及可多次循环的开关特性.     

Thermal shrinkage of electrospun PVP nanofibers

This paper outlines the shrinkage of electrospun polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) fiber mats during thermal treatment. The thermal behavior and phase changes within the fibers were investigated by DSC and TGA/DTA. Five precursors with different PVP loading in ethanol were electrospun. The mats shrinkage as function of temperature was measured in the RT–200 °C range. Shrinkage rate drastically increased above the polymer glass transition point, T_g (150–180 °C), due to increase in polymer chain mobility. Mats shrinkage at 200 °C as function of PVP concentration showed a minimum at ∼10%wt. Below 10% PVP the mats morphology is non‐uniform, consisting of beads and fibers. Above 10% PVP, only flat and uniform fibers were observed. This paper outlines the dominant mechanism governing the mats shrinkage during heating. In addition, the effect of PVP concentration on the expansion of fibers diameter was investigated and found to be consistent with the linear shrinkage observing a minimum at ∼10% PVP. The effect of applied voltage on mat shrinkage was investigated, and showed a minimum at 12 kV. Understanding the interplay between fibers morphology and thermal shrinkage allows precursor composition and system optimization needed for minimizing shrinkage negative effects on the structure and properties of electrospun fiber mats. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Synthesis and characterization of sol–gel derived ZrV2O7 fibers with negative thermal expansion property

Novel ZrV₂O₇ fibers with negative thermal expansion were prepared via combination of sol–gel process and thermal decomposition. The as-prepared fibers were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), transmission electron microscopy and Raman spectroscopy. The results showed that the synthetic pH value had little influence on the crystal structure of products while showed significant effect on morphology. The fibers obtained at pH = 9 exhibited cylindrical morphology and its mean diameter was about 1 μm. The thermal expansion property of the as-prepared fibers was investigated by in situ XRD and thermal mechanical analyzer. All of the as-prepared fibers showed positive thermal expansion first and then negative thermal expansion, resulting from a phase transition from 3 × 3 × 3 superstructure to 1 × 1 × 1 cubic structure. The macro thermal expansion coefficients of ZrV₂O₇ ceramic rods increased with decreasing of fiber diameter. The mechanism of the phase transition was also discussed.

Three-phase cyanate ester composites with fumed silica and negative-CTE reinforcements

Three-phase cyanate ester adhesives have been developed using a bisphenol E cyanate ester resin, fumed silica, and negative-CTE (coefficient of thermal expansion) reinforcements: short carbon fiber or zirconium tungstate (ZrW₂O ₈ ). Fumed silica was used to impart thixotropic behavior on the resin and decrease settling in the adhesives. The cured composites were evaluated using various thermal analysis techniques for their thermal-mechanical properties. Composites with short carbon fiber showed enhanced modulus and decreased thermal expansion (70% reduction for 20 vol%) and showed little phase separation. While settling of the dense ceramic particles could not be completely eliminated for the zirconium tungstate composites through rheological modification of the adhesive with added fumed silica, a reduction in CTE of 84% was achieved in the composite (58 vol%) compared to the neat resin. In addition, the effect of thermal history on the cure and temperature induced ZrW₂O₈ phase transitions, and their corresponding influence on thermal strains vs. temperature, are examined by thermomechanical analysis.     

Thermal expansion behavior of solar cell encapsulation materials

The object of this paper is to determine the thermal expansion behavior of nine different encapsulants in order to identify possible deficiencies in production processes and allow for the optimization of the process parameters. High dimensional stability of the encapsulant is of great importance in photovoltaic (PV) module production to avoid problems during lamination and/or in application. For this purpose, the samples were heated twice in a thermo-mechanical analyzer (TMA) in tensile mode, and the coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) over temperature was evaluated. To get additional information about transition temperatures of the encapsulants, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) measurements were made. The TMA results for most samples showed anisotropic behavior which was eliminated after the first heating run. Three samples showed shrinkage with subsequent increased thermal expansion as well as anisotropic behavior. It could be shown that knowing the thermal expansion behavior of the solar cell encapsulants is highly relevant for the PV module lamination process, and Thermo-Mechanical Analysis proved to be a suitable method to evaluate and also for quality control of solar cell encapsulation films.     

Thermal expansion of poly(vinylidene fluoride)

The thermal expansion behavior of oriented poly(vinylidene fluoride) films has been studied over the temperature range ?75 to +20°C. Representative high draw, low draw, and voided samples have been examined. For all samples at low temperatures the transverse thermal expansion coefficients, both in the plane of the sheet and perpendicular to it, are similar and have positive values of about 10^?4 K^?1. In the draw direction the thermal expansion coefficients are much smaller in magnitude and can be either positive or negative, the room temperature values varying in the range +4 × 10^?6 K^?1 for low draw samples to ?14 × 10^?6 K^?;1 for high draw samples. As the temperature is raised the coefficients also increase but, above the glass transition temperature, the value in the draw direction, α₁, shows a rapid fall in value. It is shown that this effect can be related quantitatively to the presence of an internal shrinkage stress. Differences between samples can then be primarily related to differences in the magnitude of this internal stress and to differences in the temperature dependence of the modulus of the sample.     

Effect of water release on thermal properties of polyaniline

Conducting polyaniline (PANI) was studied by thermal expansion measurement, thermogravimetric analysis and by electrical conductivity measurement. Relative elongation and coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) were determined from room temperature to 60 °C. Various temperature profiles were used. During heating, the treatment of samples at a constant temperature higher than the room temperature, or evacuation, water was released from the samples. Water release was detected by mass and thermogravimetric analysis. Water release was connected with shrinkage of the PANI samples and apparent negative CTE in the first thermal cycle. In the following thermal cycles, it increased and reached a positive value. CTE of PANI attained values in the range of ?30 × 10^?6 K^?1 up to 20 × 10^?6 K^?1 in dependence on water content in the sample before measurement and on experimental conditions of measurement. Irreversible shrinkage of the polymer was the largest in the first thermal cycle. Water release exhibited a strong time and temperature dependence, and it was only partially reversible. The electrical conductivity was measured by a four-point van der Pauw method. Relative electrical conductivity decreased with amounts of water release. Relative decrease of electrical conductivity reached as far as 20% after evacuation 7 h at the room temperature.     

Synthesis of an Azobenzene-containing Main-chain Crystalline Polymer and Photodeformation Behaviors of Its Supramolecular Hydrogen-bonded Fibers

The synthesis of a new azobenzene(azo)-containing main-chain crystalline polymer with reactive secondary amino groups in its backbone and photodeformation behaviors of its supramolecular hydrogen-bonded fibers are described. This main-chain azo polymer(namely Azo-MP6) was prepared via first the synthesis of a diacrylate-type azo monomer and its subsequent Michael addition copolymerization with trans-1,4-cyclohexanediamine under a mild reaction condition. Azo-MP6 was found to have a linear main-chain chemical structure instead of a branched one, as verified by comparing its ~1H-NMR spectrum with that of the azo polymer prepared via the polymer analogous reaction of AzoMP6 with acetic anhydride. The thermal stability, phase transition behavior, and photoresponsivity of Azo-MP6 were characterized with TGA,DSC, POM, XRD, and UV-Vis spectroscopy. The experimental results revealed that it had good thermal stability, low glass transition temperature,broad crystalline phase temperature range, and highly reversible photoresponsivity. Physically crosslinked supramolecular hydrogen-bonded fibers with good mechanical properties and a high alignment order of azo mesogens were readily fabricated from Azo-MP6 by using the simple melt spinning method, and they could show "reversible" photoinduced bending under the same UV light irradiation and good anti-fatigue properties.

Effect of Thermal Cycles on the Thermal Expansion Behavior of T700 Carbon Fiber Bundles

The relationships between the coefficient of thermal expansion(CTE) of T700 carbon fiber bundles(CFBs) and the thermal cycles were investigated. The microstructure of T700 CFBs was analyzed with Raman spectra and XRD before and after the thermomechanical test. The results indicated that the T700 CFBs exhibited negative expansion in the direction of parallel fibers in the temperature range of -150-150℃. The thermal strain that occurred during the heating and the cooling thermal cycle had an unclosed curve that served as the loop. When the experimental load was the same, the position of strain loop tended to move upward, and the length of the specimen increased continuously with the thermal cycles increasing. The microstructural analysis suggested that the degree of structural order and the degree of orientation along the fiber axis were improved with the increase of thermal cycles. The change of microstructure parameters could be the primary cause of the negative CTE's variation within the T700 CFBs.     

Molecular dynamics simulation study of glass transition in hydrated Nafion

The thermal transition of Nafion is studied using a molecular dynamics simulation through a chemically realistic model. Static and dynamic properties of polymer melts with different water contents are investigated over a wide range of temperatures to obtain viscometric and calorimetric glass transition temperatures. The effect of cooling rate of the simulation on the glass transition of the hydrated polymer is also examined within the well‐known Williams–Landel–Ferry (WLF) equation. Variation of relaxation times versus temperature shows a fragile‐to‐strong transition. The hydration level has a significant impact on the static and dynamic properties of the polymer chains and water molecules confined in nanometric spaces between polymer chains. The results of this study are useful to predict the behavior of Nafion for various applications including fuel cells, sensors, actuators, and shape memory devices at different temperatures. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Prototype of Low Thermal Expansion Materials: Fabrication of Mesoporous Silica/Polymer Composites with Densely Filled Polymer inside Mesopore Space

A prototype of novel low thermal expansion materials using mesoporous silica particles is demonstrated. Mesoporous silica/polymer composites with densely filled polymer inside the mesopore space are fabricated by mechanically mixing both organically modified mesoporous silica and epoxy polymer. The mesopores are easily penetrated by polymers as a result of the capillary force during the mechanical composite processing. Furthermore, we propose a new model of polymer mobility restriction using mesoporous silica with a large pore space. The robust inorganic frameworks covering the polymer effectively restrict the polymer mobility against thermal energy. As a result, the degree of total thermal expansion of the composites is drastically decreased. From the mass‐normalized thermal mechanical analysis (TMA) charts of various composites with different amounts of mesoporous silica particles, it is observed that the coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) values gradually increase with an increase of the polymer amount outside the mesopores. It is proven that the CTE values in the range over the glass‐transition temperatures (T_g) are perfectly proportional to the outside polymer amounts. Importantly, the Y‐intercept of the relation equation obtained by a least‐square method is the CTE value and is almost zero. This means that thermal expansion does not occur if no polymers are outside the mesopores. Through such a quantative discussion, we clarify that only the outside polymer affects the thermal expansion of the composites, that is, the embedded polymers inside the mesopores do not expand at all during the thermal treatment.

The effect of water immersion on the thermal degradation of cotton fibers

The decomposition behavior of cotton fibers is examined using thermogravimetric analysis. The effect of the test parameters on the thermal degradation of raw cotton fibers is determined. Focus is given to the influence of water immersion on the thermal behavior of cotton fibers. For less mature fibers a clear difference is noted between the degradation profiles of the water-immersed and untreated samples. On the contrary, only a small change is noted on the degradation profile for more mature fibers after water immersion. The maturity and variations in water-soluble content of the fiber are found to be important factors influencing the thermal behavior of raw cotton fibers. Inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES) is used to underpin the effect of water immersion on cotton fibers. This improved understanding for the role of maturity and water soluble constituents in thermal degradation of cotton fibers may lead to develop routes that improve thermal stability and smoldering characteristics of cotton fibers as relevant for future applications.
