马来酸酐接枝氢化苯乙烯—丁二烯嵌段共取物增韧聚苯醚体系的韧性、亚微相态的流变性能

考察了氢化苯乙烯－丁二烯嵌段共聚弹性体（SEBS）及其马来酸酐接枝共聚物（SEBS－g/MA)增韧聚苯醚（PPO）体系，DSC谱图显示，PPO与SEBS的共混物仅有一个Tg，两者完全相容；PPO与SEBS－g-MA的共混物存在两个Tg，只能达到部分相容。力学性能研究表明，在PPO／SEBS体系中，基体只发散相SEBS的相界面模糊，无法引发基体银纹和剪切屈服，增韧PPO的效果有限；而部分相容的PPO／SEBS－g-MA共混物显示了增韧剂良好的相界面引发基体银纹和剪切屈服的作用，其缺口冲击强度在SEBS-g-MA质量分数为20％时达到1260J／m的超韧性。亚微相态显示，SEBS和PPO中呈现条形分散相的“海岛”结构；而EBS－g-MA在基体中呈现网络结构。流变性能研究显示，PPO／SEBS共混物的表观粘度均高于PPO，并随SEBS的含量增加而变大；而PO／SEBS－g-MA则完全相反。

Simultaneously toughening and reinforcing poly(lactic acid)/thermoplastic polyurethane blend via enhancing interfacial adhesion by hydrophobic silica nanoparticles

This work focuses on satisfactorily toughening and reinforcing poly(lactic acid)/thermoplastic polyurethane (PLA/TPU) blend with low TPU content (10 wt%) using appropriate amounts of hydrophobic silica nanoparticles (SiO₂) via simple melt mixing. Both thermodynamic prediction and transmission electron microscopy micrographs demonstrate that most SiO₂ nanoparticles distribute at interfaces between the PLA and TPU phases. This improves interfacial adhesion between the phases, which is attributed to good bonding strength between the PLA and SiO₂ via hydrophobic interaction and formation of hydrogen bonds between the TPU and SiO₂. The PLA/TPU (90/10) ternary blend nanocomposite with 2 wt% SiO₂ exhibits obviously high impact strength (about 5.0 and 12.6 times that of the corresponding blend and PLA, respectively) and higher tensile strength than the blend and even the PLA. Crazing is the main reason for improved impact toughnesses of the blend nanocomposites. This work provides a simple and effective strategy to endow PLA/elastomer blends with optimum strength–toughness balance by adding appropriate amounts of nanoparticles.     

Strength and toughness of carbon fibers reinforced rigid polyurethane composites by adsorbing tannic acid and refining Ni grains on carbon fibers surface

In this article, short carbon fibers (CFs) reinforced rigid polyurethane (RPU) composites were prepared with the aim of improving both strength and toughness. A tannic acid (TA)‐nickel (Ni) composite coating was spontaneously co‐deposited onto CFs surface by a one‐step electrodeposition method to strengthen the interface bonding of the composites. The satisfactory mechanical properties of the composites were mainly attributed to the superior interfacial adhesion. On the one hand, TA could play a role in refining Ni grain during electrodeposition. On the other hand, the hydroxyl groups attached to composite coating, which were introduced by TA, could react with the RPU matrix to form chemical bonds. When the composites were under stress, the chemical bonds could effectively transfer the stress from matrix to the interface, while the refined Ni crystals could greatly increase the stress transfer path, and thus improve the strength and toughness of the material. Compared with pure RPU, the tensile strength, bending strength,interlaminar shear strength, and impact strength of TA‐Ni‐coated CFs/RPU composites were improved by 14.8%, 83.1%, 28.7%, and 121.4%, respectively.     

Improving Impact Toughness of Polylactide/Ethylene-co-vinyl-acetate Blends via Adding Fumed Silica Nanoparticles: Effects of Specific Surface Area-dependent Interfacial Selective Distribution of Silica

Adding fumed silica(SiO_2) has been considered as an effective method for tailoring the phase morphology and performance of elastomer-toughened plastic binary blends. It has been demonstrated that the selective distribution of SiO_2 plays a decisive role in the mechanical properties of plastic/elastomer/SiO_2 nanocomposites, especially for the impact toughness. In this work, we aim to illuminate the role of specific surface area in controlling their selective distribution of fumed SiO_2 and consequent mechanical properties of plastic/elastomer binary blends. Three types of SiO_2 with different specific surface areas were incorporated into polylactide/ethylene-co-vinyl-acetate(PLA/EVA) model blends by melt blending directly. It was found that the selective distribution of SiO_2 is largely determined by their specific surface areas, i.e. SiO_2 nanoparticles with low specific surface area has a stronger tendency to be located at the interface between PLA matrix and EVA dispersed phase as compared to those with high specific surface area. The specific surface area-dependent interfacial selective distribution of SiO_2 is mainly attributed to the extent of increased viscosity of EVA dispersed phase in which SiO_2 nanoparticles are initially dispersed and resultant migration rate of SiO_2 nanoparticles. The interfacial localized SiO_2 nanoparticles induce an obvious enhancement in the impact toughness with strength and modulus well maintained. More importantly, in the case of the same interfacial distribution, toughening efficiency is increased with the specific surface area of SiO_2. Therefore, this is an optimum specific surface area of SiO_2 for the toughening. This work not only provides a novel way to manipulate the selective distribution of SiO_2 in elastomer-toughened plastic blends toward high-performance, but also gives a deep insight into the role of interfacial localized nanoparticles in the toughening mechanism.     

Morphology and properties of cyanate ester/liquid polyurethane/silica nanocomposites

The high‐speed homogeneous shearing method was applied to prepare nanocomposites of cyanate ester (CE) with liquid polyurethane elastomer (PUR) and silica. To investigate the influence of various components on the morphology and properties of the ternary composites, the binary composites of CE/PUR and CE/silica were also involved in this article. The morphology of the cured materials of binary and ternary systems was investigated by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and the results show that silica nanoparticles were uniformly distributed in the ternary and binary matrix. Phase separation of elastomer in composites was not observed by TEM. FTIR test and dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) proved that chemical linking was existent between PUR and CE. Scanning electron microscopy examinations and mechanical properties tests were carried out. The results show that ternary composites displayed higher fracture toughness and impact strength compared with most of the binary systems. This suggests that the addition of PUR and nanosilica can synergistically improve the toughness of CE. DMA studies confirmed that the incorporation of silica can increase the storage modulus and T_g for CE and CE/PUR system, since there are a good adhesion and a strong hydrogen bonding between silica and polymers. The thermal property of ternary composites increases with the increase of silica nanoparticle loading. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Polym Sci Part B: Polym Phys 46: 1243–1251, 2008

PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENT OF POLYMERS BY THE ADDITION OF GRAFTED NANO-INORGANIC PARTICLES

An irradiation grafting method was applied for the modification of nanoparticles so that the latter can be added topolymeric materials for improving their mechanical performance using existing compounding techniques. The followingitems are discussed in this paper: (a) chemical interaction between the grafting monomers and the nanoparticles duringirradiation, (b) properties including modulus, yield strength, impact strength and fracture toughness of the resultantcomposites, and (c) possible morphological changes induced by the addition of nanoparticles. Though irradiation graftingpolymerization, nanoparticle agglomerates turn into a nano-composite microstructure (comprised of the nanoparticles and thegrafted, homopolymerized secondary polymer), which in turn builds up a strong interfacial interaction with the surrounding,primary polymeric matrix during the subsequent mixing procedure. Due to the fact that different grafting polymers broughtabout different nanoparticle/matrix interfacial features, microstructures and properties of the ultimate composites could thusbe tailored. It was found that the reinforcing and toughening effects of the nanoparticles on the polymer matrix can be fullybrought into play at a rather low filler loading in comparison to conventional particulate filled composites.     

Effect of interfacial bonding on the strength of adhesion

The strength of adhesion has been determined experimentally for an elastomer layer coupled to a rigid substrate by interfacial chemical bonds of varying surface density. Sites for interfacial bonding were obtained by treating glass plates with mixtures of vinyl-and ethylsilanes in varying proportions. A layer of polybutadiene was then applied and cross-linked in situ by a free-radical process. Formation of interfacial bonds to vinyl groups (when present) on the glass substrate is inferred from the proportional increase in strength of adhesion under near-equilibrium conditions, i.e., at low rates of detachment and at high temperatures. A 35-fold increase in strength was found for vinylsilane, relative to ethylsilane, in rough agreement with the relative magnitudes of the strengths of covalent and dispersion bonds. However, the absolute magnitudes were much greater than predicted, by a factor of about 25 in both cases. This is attributed to the polymeric character of the elastomer: many molecular bonds must be stressed in order to detach or rupture one.⁴ In agreement with this hypothesis, the strength of adhesion decreased with increasing crosslinking. Anomalously high adhesion was found with clean glass. It presumably reflects a specific bonding mechanism of unknown type.
