环氧树脂/氧化石墨纳米复合物的等温固化行为研究

用示差扫描分析仪(DSC)研究了氧化石墨(GO)对N,N,N',N'-四缩水甘油基-4,4'-二氨基二苯基甲烷环氧树脂(TGDDM)/4,4'-二氨基二苯基砜(DDS)体系的等温固化反应的影响,用X射线光电子能谱仪(XPS)和傅里叶变换红外光谱仪(FTIR)研究了GO上存在的官能团及其对TGDDM/DDS体系固化行为的影响,用热失重分析仪(TGA)研究了天然石墨和GO的热力学稳定性.XPS、FTIR和TGA结果表明,GO上存在的大量羟基、羧基、环氧基等官能团能够影响环氧树脂的固化行为.DSC研究发现,环氧树脂/氧化石墨纳米复合物的固化反应属于自催化类型,随着GO含量的增加,达到最大反应速率的时间不断减小,初始反应速率不断增大,这说明GO对环氧树脂的固化反应有促进作用.Kamal模型计算得到的结果表明,随着GO含量的增加自催化反应初期阶段表观活化能E1先减小再增大,而自催化反应结束后表观活化能E2略微减小.经Kamal模型扩散控制函数修正后,整个固化过程中拟合得到的结果与实验数据相当吻合.以上结果说明,少量的GO对TGDDM/DDS体系的固化反应起着催化作用.

Cure kinetics of carbon nanotube/tetrafunctional epoxy nanocomposites by isothermal differential scanning calorimetry

The cure kinetics of tetraglycidyl‐4,4′‐diaminodiphenylmethane (TGDDM) and 4,4′‐diaminodiphenylsulfone (DDS) as a cure agent in nanocomposites with multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) have been studied with an isothermal differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) technique. The experimental data for both the neat TGDDM/DDS system and for epoxy/MWNTs nanocomposites showed an autocatalytic behavior. Kinetic analysis was performed with the phenomenological model of Kamal and a diffusion control function was introduced to describe the cure reaction in the later stage. Activation energies and kinetic parameters were determined by fitting experimental data. For MWNTs/epoxy nanocomposites, the initial reaction rates increased and the time to the maximum rate decreased with increasing MWNTs contents because of the acceleration effect of MWNTs. The values of the activation energies for the epoxy/MWNTs nanocomposites were lower than the values for the neat epoxy in the initial stage of the reaction. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Novel phthalazinone‐bearing tetrafunctional epoxy: Synthesis,characterization, and their toughening application for TGDDM system

A novel tetrafunctional epoxy (TEPZ) was synthesized by “one spot two steps” method, and the effects of solvents, reaction temperature, and mole ratios of reactants on the reaction conversion were systematically investigated. The results demonstrated that the solvents participating in the reaction were the most crucial factor for high conversions. After curing, TEPZ/4,4′‐diaminodiphenyl sulfone (DDS) system exhibited better thermal stability compared with famous N,N,N′,N′‐tetraglycidyl‐4,4′‐diaminodiphenyl methane (TGDDM)/DDS analog. When TEPZ is blended with TGDDM/DDS, the initial decomposition temperature of TGDDM/TEPZ/DDS hybrid elevated from 348°C to 362°C. The storage modulus and the glass transition temperature were sensitive to curing procedure and concentration of DDS. While the system consisted of 100 phr TGDDM, 30 phr TEPZ, and 40 phr DDS, the storage modulus and glass transition temperature increased significantly compared with those of TGDDM/DDS, and the impact strength increased by 31.6% simultaneously. Such enhancement could be ascribed to the structural feature of phthalazinone in TEPZ, which formed stable interpenetrating networks during thermal cure procedure.     

Effect of ionizing radiation on the dynamic mechanical properties of an epoxy and a graphite fiber/epoxy composite

TGDDM/DDS epoxy and T300/NARMCO 5208 composite specimens were exposed to 0.5 MeV electrons to dose levels up to 10,000 Mrad, and the effects of radiation on the mechanical properties were characterized using dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA). In nominally cured specimens there remain unreacted epoxide groups because the epoxy system vitrifies during the cure, preventing additional reaction. DMA shows that ionizing radiation continues the reactions of epoxide groups. Also, the ultimate glass transition is shown to decrease monotonically with radiation dose. The room temperature elastic modulus of the epoxy increases slightly with radiation, but at temperatures exceeding 100°C there is a slight decrease with radiation. There is a dynamic loss phenomena associated with the composites, not seen in the epoxy, that is thought to be due to the interphase region between the fiber and the matrix.     

Interfacial and wetting properties of carbon fiber reinforced epoxy composites with different hardeners by electrical resistance measurement

In this research, interfacial and wetting properties of N,N,N,N-tetraglycidyl-4,4-diaminodiphenylmethane (TGDDM) epoxy resin with two hardeners with different chemical structure were evaluated by electrical resistance (ER) measurement. The heat of reaction of TGDDM epoxy with the two different hardeners, 33 and 44 di-amino di-phenyl sulphone (DDS), was analyzed by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The TGDDM epoxy exhibited different mechanical properties with the two different DDS hardeners. Combined ER, wetting measurements and the microdroplet test were used for evaluating the spreading effect and interfacial shear strength (IFSS) of carbon fiber (CF) reinforced TGDDM epoxy composites with these different hardeners. The heat of reaction and mechanical properties of TGDDM/DDS were influenced by the chemical structure and different free volumes of the epoxy resins. The relationships between the ER-wetting results and the IFSS were internally consistent. Ultimately it was demonstrated that ER measurements makes it possible to estimate the interfacial and wetting properties of CF reinforced epoxy composites.     

Thermal characterizations of multifunctional epoxy/anhydride systems used for pultruded composite ropes

The viscoelastic characterization and thermal stability property of some multifunctional epoxy/anhydride systems cured at different schedules were investigated by dynamic mechanical thermal analysis (DMTA) in single cantilever mode at fixed frequency, and by non-isothermal thermogravimetric (TG) analysis, respectively. According to the DMTA results, three obviously different glass transition temperatures (T _g), were observed, among which TGDDM/MHHPA system exhibits the largest T _g. While from the TG curves, the results of the mass loss and thermal stability showed that, after cured for a prolonged duration, the TGDDM/MHHPA system possessed the most excellent performance in heat resistance.     

Effects of ionizing radiation on epoxy,graphite fiber and epoxy/graphite fiber composites. Part I: Surface energy changes

Surface energy changes of an epoxy based on tetraglycidyl diaminodiphenyl methane (TGDDM)/diaminodiphenyl sulfone (DDS), T-300 graphite fiber, and T-300/5208 (graphite fiber/epoxy) composites have been investigated after irradiation with 0.5 MeV electrons. The surface energy of TGDDM-DDS epoxy increases monotonically with radiation doses up to 1,000 Mrad mainly due to increased concentration of polar groups. IR and ESCA spectral evidence indicates that carbonyl groups are formed, probably from the tertiary hydrogen at the carbon where the ? OH group is attached in the cured epoxy. The polarity of the graphite fiber and the graphite fiber/epoxy interface also increases with radiation dose. These results and the roles of oxygen are discussed in connection with mechanical properties of epoxy/graphite fiber composites exposed to ionizing radiation.
