核/壳结构的ZnS:Mn/SiO_2纳米粒子的制备及发光性质研究

采用溶剂热法制备了Mn离子掺杂的ZnS纳米粒子(ZnS∶Mn),然后利用正硅酸乙酯(TEOS)的水解反应对其进行了不同厚度的SiO2无机壳层包覆。采用X射线衍射(XRD)、透射电子显微镜(TEM)、X射线光电子能谱(XPS)及荧光发射光谱(PL)对样品的结构及光学性质进行了表征和研究。包覆SiO2壳层后,粒子的粒径明显增大并且在ZnS∶Mn纳米粒子表面可以观察到明显的SiO2壳层。XPS测试印证了ZnS∶Mn/SiO2的核壳结构。随着SiO2壳层的增厚,ZnS∶Mn/SiO2的Mn离子的发光先增强后减弱,这是因为SiO2壳层同时具有表面修饰和降低发光中心浓度这两种相反的作用。当壳层厚度(壳与核的物质的量的比)达到5时,发光效果达到最好,其强度达到未包覆样品的7.5倍。     

红外光谱结合偏最小二乘法定量分析毛竹/聚丙烯复合材料的主成分

木塑复合材料(wood plastic composites, WPC)中生物质和塑料的比例影响其物理力学性能和价格。建立一种快速、准确的方法预测WPC中生物质和塑料的含量对于WPC市场的进一步发展具有重要作用。现有的检测方法主要为热分析法,然而,热分析法固有的缺陷(包括检检测时间长、测精度低、操作复杂等)严重限制了其应用范围。为此,本研究采用红外光谱(FTIR)结合偏最小二乘法(PLS)对毛竹/聚丙烯(PP)复合材料样品中毛竹及PP的含量进行了快速测定。以毛竹为生物质填料、PP为基体材料,同时加入一定量的添加剂,采用挤出成型法制备了42个不同毛竹/PP比例的WPC样品。采用KBr压片法收集42个WPC样品的红外光谱数据,利用PLS-2和完全交互验证方式建立样品中毛竹及PP含量和光谱数据间的相关性模型。内部交互验证结果表明,对原始光谱进行一阶导数和SNV预处理后,选择1 800～800 cm-1 波段建立的模型性能最佳。毛竹和PP含量的校正模型决定系数R2均为0.955,校正标准偏差SEC分别为1.827和1.848。毛竹和PP含量的预测模型决定系数R2均为0.950,交互验证标准偏差SECV分别为1.927和1.950,RPD值均为4.45。外部验证结果表明,毛竹和PP含量相对预测偏差均低于6%,FTIR结合PLS法可以同时快速、准确地预测毛竹/PP复合材料中毛竹及PP含量。

Crystallization Morphology and Behavior of Polypropylene Composites Containing Microencapsulated Flame Retardant

With shells of melamine-formaldehyde (MF), urea-melamine-formaldehyde (UMF), or poly(vinyl alcohol)-melamine-formaldehyde (VMF), microencapsulated ammonium polyphosphate (APP) was prepared by in-situ polymerization for use as a flame retardant in polypropylene (PP). Microencapsulated APP showed rougher surface, smaller size, and narrower size distribution compared with APP. The results of polarized optical microscopy (POM) showed that the additives resulted in a decrease of the spherulite size and less perfection in crystal geometry of PP composites. Due to the interaction and alignment of the PP polymer chains at the surface, the surface modification of APP influenced the formation and further development of PP crystals remarkably. The crystallization and melting behaviors of the PP composites were affected by the rough surface of the microencapsulated APP, which was helpful for the formation of β-crystals and decreased the crystal growth rate compared with APP.     

Correlations among micro- and macromechanical properties of composite materials based on the interphase concept

In this paper an attempt was made to define microstructural properties of carbon fiber/PP composites, with respect to fiber surface chemistry and morphology. In order to define the effects of the fiber surface sizings and morphology on the polymer microstructure, the interphase and mechanical properties of the composites, carbon fibers with similar, but not identical surface chemistry (CH and CT) were used. Characterization was performed by several techniques: SEM, POM, reflection microscopy, DSC, FTIR, XPS, contact angle measurements. For microstructural analysis, the geometrical method, method of intercept and DIF method were used. It was found that both carbon fibers have a strong influence on the nucleation mechanism and crystallization as well as on the microstructural parameters in the model and macro composites. Nucleation efficiency of the fibers has been confirmed by the nucleation parameter Q, measured by Muchova–Lednicky method and by the interfacial energy parameters. Microstructural analysis based on the photographs obtained by POM, SEM and reflection microscopy has shown that in the CH/PP model and macrocomposites the sieve-grain network was formed, which indicates better mechanical properties. The results obtained for the macromechanical properties of PP composites reinforced with CH and CT have confirmed the prediction based on micostructural analysis.     

Influence of the Polymer/Inorganic Filler Interface on the Mechanical,Thermal, and Flame Retardant Properties of Polypropylene/Magnesium Hydroxide Composites

The relationship between the interface structure and the macroscopic properties of composites composed of isotactic polypropylene (iPP) and magnesium hydroxide (MH) was investigated with a focus on mechanical properties, thermal stability, and flame retardancy. Surface treatment of MH was carried out using dodecanoic acid (DA) and dodecylphosphate (DP), both of which interacted with MH to form submonolayer coverages. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) revealed that both organic reagents adhere to the MH surface via ionic interactions. Even low amounts of organic reagents on the MH surface were sufficient to improve the mechanical, thermal, and flame retardant properties of the composites. The incorporation of 1.8 wt% of DP in (70/30) iPP/MH-DP composite decreased the peak heat release rate (PkHRR) to 39% compared with that of neat iPP. Since the effects of DA with the same dodecyl chains were not significant, it is concluded that the phosphate groups in DP provide flame retardancy.     

Morphology,conductivity, and mechanical properties of polypyrrole-containing composites

An electrical-conducting polypropylene/polypyrrole (PP/PPy) composite was prepared by the chemically oxidative modification reaction of pyrrole on the surface of PP particles in suspension. Another type of PP/PPy composite was prepared by mixing the coated PP particles with noncoated PP particles at room temperature. The composites were processed by compression molding or by injection molding. The injection-molded composites exhibited better mechanical properties compared to compression-molded samples, while these composites showed better antistatic behavior and electrical conductivity. The differences in the behavior of the two types of composites were caused by the different structure of the PPy phase, which was studied by hot-stage optical microscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS).

The role of interface modification on the mechanical properties of injection-moulded composites from commingled polypropylene/banana granules

Commingled polypropylene (PP)/banana granules were fabricated from slivers by mixing PP fibers and banana fibers by textile equipment. By twisting the sliver, the reinforcing fibers were compacted and bonded with the molten matrix material. PP/banana composites were prepared from commingled PP/banana granules by injection moulding method with special reference to the effect of maleic anhydride modified polypropylene (MAH-PP) concentration. The mechanical properties of the composites were found to depend on the concentration of MAH-PP. The tensile and flexural properties of the composites increased with the addition of MAH-PP up to 2 wt%. After 2 wt% addition of MAH-PP, these properties tend to be stabilized. On the other hand the unmodified composites showed the maximum impact strength. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopic (FTIR) analysis of the MAH-PP modified composites showed evidence of a chemical bridge between the hydroxyl group of the banana fiber and maleic anhydride of the MAH-PP through an esterification reaction. The feature peak of the esterification occurred in the range ～ 1743 cm^?1. In order to confirm the esterfication reaction further, FTIR spectra of the banana microfibrils and MAH-PP modified PP/banana microfibril composites were taken and compared. The tensile fracture surfaces of the unmodified and MAH-PP modified PP/banana composites were studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). An improvement in adhesion between the fiber and the matrix was observed in the case of MAH-PP modified composites. Two different processing methods, both injection and compression mouldings were performed to prepare the PP/banana composites. Tensile properties of the composites prepared by these two methods were compared. The enhancement of tensile properties for injection-moulded composites compared to the compression-moulded composites is owing to the occurrence of orientation, better mixing and interaction between the fiber and the matrix during injection moulding. Finally, experimental results of the tensile properties of the injection-moulded composites have been compared with theoretical predictions.     

Mechanical Properties and Crystallization Behavior of Polycarbonate/Polypropylene Blends

The mechanical properties, morphology, and crystallization behavior of polycarbonate (PC)/polypropylene (PP) blends, with and without compatibilizer, were studied by tensile and impact tests, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The tensile and impact strengths of PC/PP blends decreased with increasing the PP content due to poor compatibility between the two phases. But the addition of compatibilizer improved the mechanical properties of the PC/PP blends, and the maximum value of the mechanical properties, such as tensile and impact strengths of PC/PP (80/20 wt%) blends, were obtained when the compatibilizer was used at the amount of 4 phr. The SEM indicated that the compatibility and interfacial adhesion between PC and PP phases were enhanced. DSC results that showed the crystallization and melting peak temperatures of PP increased with the increase of the PP content, which indicated that the amorphous PC affected the crystallization behavior. However, both the PC and compatibilizer had little effect on the crystallinity of PP in PC/PP blends based on both the DSC and XRD patterns.     

Preparation and physical properties of polypropylene nanocomposites with dodecylated graphene nanoplatelets

The most important practical application of graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs) would be as nanofillers for polymer nanocomposites. However, the modification of GNPs is needed to improve the interfacial adhesion between GNPs and a polymer matrix. Therefore, in this study, the alkylation of GNPs by dodecylamine was carried out via chemical reactions between the amine groups of the alkyl amine and the carboxyl and epoxy groups of the oxidized GNPs’ surfaces. The dodecylation of the GNPs was confirmed by FTIR and TGA. The TGA data showed that the dodecyl-GNPs comprised alkyl groups 2.4%. Polypropylene nanocomposites with the dodecyl-GNPs were prepared in a platy shape by melt-blending followed by compression molding. The mechanical and thermal properties of the nanocomposites were measured by UTM, izod impact tester, DSC and DMA. Compared to the neat PP sample, the flexural modulus, flexural strength and impact strength of the PP nanocomposite with the dodecyl-GNPs 0.5 phr were increased by 38, 4 and 34% respectively. The fracture surfaces’ images of the nanocomposites taken by SEM showed that the dodecylation of the GNPs improved the interfacial adhesion between the GNPs and the PP matrix.     

Properties of Polypropylene/Antibacterial Glass Composites

Polypropylene (PP)/antibacterial glass composites were prepared by melt blending PP and silver-doped glass. The antibacterial activity of the PP composites was examined by the method of plate counting, and the crystallization behaviors of pure PP and antibacterial glass/PP composites were compared via hot-stage polarized optical microscopy (POM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and differential scanning calorimeter (DSC). The results revealed that the antibacterial PP composites had effective antibacterial activity with antibacterial rates more than 90%. The antibacterial agent in the antibacterial glass/PP composites acted as nucleating agents, increasing the crystallization temperature and crystallization rate of PP, but not changing the crystalline modification of PP. The mechanical properties of antibacterial glass/PP composites were also studied, and the results showed that the antibacterial glass improved the stiffness and modulus but decreased the notched impact strength of the PP composites.
