甲基丙烯酸甲酯 甲基丙烯酸共聚物（Ｐ（ＭＭＡ ＭＡＡ））与低分子量或高分子量梯形聚苯基硅倍半氧烷（ＰＰＳＱ）的共混物经原位聚合法制成．用光学透明法、荧光光谱、ＤＳＣ等技术研究了该共混体系的相容性及组分间的相互作用及结构转变．结果表明，当ＰＰＳＱ含量较小时，由于ＰＰＳＱ与Ｐ（ＭＭＡ ＭＡＡ）间存在着较强的氢键作用，该共混体系在一定配比下相容，且低分子量ＰＰＳＱ与Ｐ（ＭＭＡ ＭＡＡ）间的相容性较好．当ＰＰＳＱ的含量≤１％时，ＰＰＳＱ的加入对该共混物的Ｔｇ影响不大，但其Ｔｆ随ＰＰＳＱ含量增加而增大．此外，还测试了Ｐ（ＭＭＡ ＭＡＡ）／ＰＰＳＱ原位共混物的硬度及冲击强度．     

TRANSESTERIFICATION IN POLYPHENYLSILSISQUIOXANE(PPSQ)/POLY ETHYLENE TEREPHTHALATE (PET) BLENDS

The chemical structure of copolymer formed in the transesterification of PPSQ/PET blendsduring melt-processing is deduced from the ~1H-NMR spectra. The transesterification extent ofthis blend is interpreted by the changes of crystalline melting peak in DSC thermograms of the in-soluble products containing unreacted PET and some block PPSQ segments. Effects of composi-tion of blend ladderlike regularity of PPSQ on the reaction extent have also been discussed.Inclusion of some block PPSQ segments in PET has no influence on the crystalline morphology ofPET.     

EFFECT OF POLYMERIZATION CONDITIONS ON THE LADDERLIKE STRUCTURE OF POLYPHENYLSILSESQUIOXANE

The ladderlike structure of PPSQ synthesized by using four kinds of catalysts (MgF_2,LiF, KOH and DCC) at different polymerization conditions has been investigated by IRand NMR. In the system using MgF_2 as the main catalyst, the most important factorwhich affects the ladderlike structure of PPSQ is the composition of the dual catalysts,MgF_2 and DCC. PPSQ prepared by using KOH as the catalyst has the highest regularityof ladderlike structure among all samples. PPSQ with different degree of ladder regularitycan be obtained by choice of polymerization conditions.     

Structure and properties of an hybrid system based on bisphenol A polycarbonate modified by A polyamide 6/organoclay nanocomposite

Blends of poly(carbonate of bisphenol A) (PC) with minute amounts of a nanocomposite based in polyamide 6 (PA6) with a layered organoclay (nPA6) were obtained upon melt mixing by varying the contents of both nPA6 and organoclay. The ternary nanocomposites (NC) were composed of a PC-rich matrix with some mixed PA6 present, and by a neat nPA6 dispersed phase. Upon dissolution of the matrix of the NC’s, the dispersed phase showed a highly fibrillar morphology that resembled that of thermoplastic/liquid crystalline polymer (LCP) blends. The cryogenically fractured surfaces observed by SEM showed a very fine particle size that was attributed to the presence of PA6 in the matrix and indicated a low interfacial tension. The Young’s modulus behaviour is proposed to be a consequence of the slight orientation of the PC-rich matrix and the highly fibrillated and oriented nPA6 dispersed phase. The important reinforcement effect of the dispersed phase is attributed to the additive effects of its large degree of orientation, and the reinforcing effect of the organoclay.     

Compatibility studies of blends of polycarbonate and poly(ethylene terephthalate)

Blends of bisphenol-A polyarbonate (PC) and poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) has been investigated by differential scanning calorimetry and scanning electron microscopy. Blends were prepared by screw extrusion and solution casting with weight fractions of PC in the blends varying from 0.90 to 0.10. From the measured glass transition temperature (T_g) and apparent weight fractions of PC and PET dissolved in each phase, it appears that PET dissolves more in the PC-rich phase than does the PC in the PET-rich phase. The composition-dependent values of the Flory–Huggins polymer–polymer–interaction parameter were determined and found to be from 0.054 to 0.037 for extruded blends at 275°C and from 0.058 to 0.040 for solution casting at 25°C. The interaction parameter decreases with increasing PET concentration. This result is consistent with the values of the T_gs, the microscopy study, and the measured extrudate swell ratios which show that compatibility increases more in the PET-rich compositions than in the PC-rich compositions. The PC–PET blends are not microscopically miscible for all the blend compositions.     

Compatibilizing effect of transesterification product between components in bisphenol-A polycarbonate/poly(ethylene terephthalate) blend

The compatibilizing effect of a random copolymer, which is the transesterification product, on its corresponding blend system of bisphenol-A polycarbonate/poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PC/PET) has been studied using a Differential Scanning Calorimeter and a Phase Contrast Microscope. It was found that after a long time of transesterification between PET and PC (50/50, wt %), the obtained product, that is, TCET random copolymer, is miscible with individual homopolymers of PC and PET. The addition of the TCET copolymer into the immiscible PC/PET blend can make the glass transitions of the PC-rich phase and PET-rich phase approach each other, and eventually merge into a single glass transition when the content of TCET in the ternary mixture reaches 60 wt %. Meanwhile, the phase structure images showed that with the increasing content of the TCET copolymer in the ternary blends, the size of the phase domains decreases and the phase domains further diminish at 60 wt % TCET. All these results proved the compatibilizing effect of TCET copolymer on the PC/PET blends in their ternary mixture. The mechanism of the compatibilizing effect is directly related to the reduction of the interfacial tension between PC-rich and PET-rich phase domains in the presence of increasing amounts of TCET copolymer in the ternary blends. © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Preparation of poly(phenylsilsesquioxane) (PPSQ) particles with ladder structure and the thermal stability of PP/PPSQ composites

The poly(phenylsilsesquioxane) (PPSQ) particles were prepared with both basic and acidic catalyzed processes and the PP/PPSQ composites were prepared by melt blending method. Studies on PPSQ by Infrared (IR), X‐ray diffraction (XRD), ²⁹Si cross polarized (CP) nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy showed that the structure of PPSQ was ladder structure. The results of scanning electron microscopy (SEM) confirmed that the prepared PPSQ particles were about 2 µm with narrow size distributions. The morphology and thermal stability of PP/PPSQ composites were characterized by SEM, XRD, and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The SEM result showed that the particles were well dispersed in the PP matrix and the XRD revealed that the addition of PPSQ influences the crystallinity and crystal orientation of PP. The thermogravimetric analysis results of the PP/PPSQ composites indicated that the incorporation of PPSQ can improve the thermal stability of PP. The Flynn–Wall–Ozawa method was employed to analyze the TGA data and the kinetic results showed that the apparent activation energy for PP/PPSQ composites was much higher than that of neat PP, suggesting that the PPSQ influences the mechanisms of pyrolysis of PP.

Electrical conductivities of carbon nanotube-filled polycarbonate/polyester blends

Carbon nanotube (CNT)-filled polycarbonate (PC)/poly(butylene terephthalate) (PBT) and polycarbonate (PC)/poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) blends containing 1 wt% CNTs over a wide range of blend compositions were prepared by melt mixing in a torque rheometer to investigate the structure-electrical conductivity relationship. Field emission scanning electron microscopy was used to observe the blend morphology and the distribution of CNTs. The latter was compared with the thermodynamic predictions through the calculation of wetting coefficients. It was found that CNTs are selectively localized in the polyester phase and conductive blends can be obtained over the whole composition range (20 wt%, 50 wt% and 80 wt% PBT) for CNT-filled PC/PBT blends, while conductive CNT-filled PC/PET blends can only be obtained when PET is the continuous phase (50 wt%, 80 wt% PET). The dramatic difference in the electrical conductivity between the two types of CNT-filled PC/polyester blends at a low polyester content (20 wt%) was explained by the size difference of the dispersed phases on the basis of the transmission electron microscope micrographs.     

Nanostructured latex films from poly(butyl methacrylate) latex cross-linked with poly(ethylene oxide)–poly(propylene oxide)–poly(ethylene oxide) triblock macro-cross-linker

Biphasic polymer latexes were synthesized by a seeded swelling and polymerization method. The latexes were composed of a poly(butyl methacrylate) core and a poly(ethylene oxide) rich shell cross-linked with poly(ethylene oxide)-poly (propylene oxide)-poly(ethylene oxide) triblock diol diacrylate macro-cross-linker. Nanostructured films were obtained by annealing the biphasic polymer latexes at a temperature between the glass-transition temperatures of the core latex and the cross-linked poly(ethylene oxide) based shell. Atomic force microscope images of the latex film revealed that the poly(butyl methacrylate) core phase is confined in the poly(ethylene oxide)-rich continuous phase with the form of separate nanosized spheres.     

Epoxy resin containing polyphenylsilsesquioxane: Preparation,morphology, and thermomechanical properties

Polyphenylsilsesquioxane (PPSQ) was incorporated into an epoxy resin to prepare organic–inorganic composites, and two strategies were adopted to afford composites with different morphologies. Phase separation induced by polymerization occurred in the physical blending system. However, nanostructured composites were obtained when a catalytic amount of aluminum triacetylacetonate was added to mediate the reaction between PPSQ and diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A (DGEBA). The intercomponent reaction significantly suppressed the phase separation on the micrometer scale. Organic–inorganic composites with different morphologies displayed quite different thermomechanical properties. Both differential scanning calorimetry and dynamic mechanical analysis showed that the nanostructured composites possessed higher glass‐transition temperatures than the phase‐separated composites with the same loading of PPSQ, although the intercomponent reaction between PPSQ and DGEBA reduced the crosslinking density of the epoxy matrix. This result was ascribed to the presence of nanosized PPSQ domains in the nanostructured composites, which acted as physical crosslinking sites and thus reinforced the epoxy networks. The nanoreinforcement of the PPSQ domains afforded the enhanced dynamic storage modulus for the nanostructured composites in comparison with the phase‐separated composites with a PPSQ concentration less than 15 wt %. In terms of thermogravimetric analysis, the organic–inorganic composites displayed improved thermal stability and flame retardancy. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Crystallization behavior of polypropylene/polycarbonate blends

Crystallization behavior and morphology of polypropylene (PP)/polycarbonate (PC) blends have been studied by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). In the study of non-isothermal crystallization of the blends, the phenomenon of multiple crystallization peaks of PP/PC blends was related to the blend morphology in which PP was the dispersed phase as small droplets in the PC matrix. The phenomenon of a single crystallization peak of the PP/PC blends was related to the blend morphology in which PP was a continuous phase; in that case the crystallization peak temperatures of the blends were higher than that of the PP. The isothermal crystallization kinetics of the PP and PP/PC (80/20) blend were described by the Avrami equation. The results showed that the Avrami exponent of the PP/PC (80/20) blend was higher than that of the PP, and the crystallization rate of the PP/PC (80/20) blend was faster than that of the PP. The crystallization rate of the PP and PP/PC (80/20) blend were calculated according to the Hoffmann theory. Both the PP and PP/PC (80/20) blend had maximum crystallization rates. The temperature at the maximum crystallization rate for the PP/PC (80/20) blend was higher than that of the PP.     

Use of block copolymer-stabilized cadmium sulfide quantum dots as novel tracers for laser scanning confocal fluorescence imaging of blend morphology in polystyrene/poly(methyl methacrylate) films

This paper describes the first use of polymer-coated quantum dots (QDs) as fluorescent tracers for LSCFM imaging of phase morphology in polymer blends. Cadmium sulfide (CdS) QDs stabilized at the surface with a PS-b-PAA block copolymer are shown to be well dispersed via their polystyrene (PS) brush layer in the PS phase of solvent-cast 40/60 (w/w) PS/PMMA blends. The QDs are excluded from the PMMA phase, providing excellent fluorescence contrast for LSCFM imaging of the phase-separated blends. The presence of PS-b-PAA-stabilized QDs does not appear to affect the blend morphology, since the observed morphologies are the same when the percentage of QDs within the PS phase is varied from 10 to 50 wt %. These QD fluorescent tracers are used to characterize several aspects of blend morphology in solvent-cast 40/60 PS/PMMA blends containing PS homopolymer with either 100 (low molecular weight) or 1250 (high molecular weight) repeat units. In the PS(1250)/PMMA blends, a percolating distribution of PMMA droplets (2-25 mum) in a PS matrix is observed in the bulk, and a distinct inversion in the continuous phase is found near the glass substrate. In the PS(100)/PMMA blends, a "phase-in-phase" morphology is found, consisting of large PS domains (20-100 mum) dispersed in a PMMA continuous phase and small PMMA domains (1-2 mum) scattered throughout the larger PS droplets. The observed change in blend structure is attributed to a lower interfacial tension for the lower molecular weight PS.     

Relationships between the molecular architecture,crystallization capacity,and miscibility in poly(butylene terephthalate)/polycarbonate blends: A comparison with poly(ethylene terephthalate)/polycarbonate blends

Poly(butylene terephthalate) (PBT)/polycarbonate (PC) samples, prepared via reactive blending in the presence of Ti‐ and Sm‐based catalysts, resulted in block copolymers whose block length decreased as the mixing time increased. A single homogeneous amorphous phase occurred when the blocks had monomeric sequences shorter than 10 units. Otherwise, a crystalline phase of PBT developed. Also, in poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET)/PC blends previously studied, the miscibility was strictly correlated with the crystallizability of the system. Therefore, the miscibility of the PBT/PC and PET/PC blends was compared with respect to the tendency of the PBT and PET blocks to crystallize under isothermal conditions. The crystallization rate of the PBT/PC copolymers was faster than that of the PET/PC copolymers with similar block lengths. Accordingly, the minimum crystallizable sequence length of the PBT blocks was shorter than that of the PET blocks (18 vs 31 monomeric unit sequences). This behavior was interpreted as an effect of the more flexible PBT units, which had a greater tendency to fold and crystallize than the PET units. Therefore, PBT, the blocks of which tended to crystallize even if they were very short and phase‐separated, was characterized by a poorer compatibility with PC than that of PET. As a result, the block size had a fundamental role in determining the crystallizability and, therefore, phase behavior of the semicrystalline block copolymers. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Preparation of waterborne dispersions of epoxy resin by the phase-inversion emulsification technique. 2. Theoretical consideration of the phase-inversion process

 A theoretical consideration of the phase-inversion technique to prepare waterborne particles based on the experimental facts of the phase inversion process given in part 1 of this series is presented. The deformation and breakup of the water droplets dispersed in an epoxy resin phase under shear action are analyzed in terms of microrheology. The interaction and coalescence dynamics among the water droplets stabilized by an interfacial layer formed by the emulsifier molecules are discussed in terms of Derjaguin–Landau–Verwey–Overbeek theory and effective collision theory, respectively. A criterion for the completion of phase-inversion is that the attraction among the water droplets exceeds the entropic repulsion. Thus, a physical model of phase-inversion is proposed to predict the effects of some control variables on the phase-inversion process as well as the structural features of the waterborne particles, by which the experimental results could be well interpreted. It is indicated that the achievement of phase inversion is determined by the dynamic coalescence among the water droplets before the phase-inversion point (PIP). If the dynamic coalescence among the water droplets is ignored, phase inversion is achieved completely and sub- micron-sized particles are prepared. In comparison, if the dynamic coalescence is significant, phase inversion is achieved incompletely and a large complex water-in-oil-in-water structure is prepared. In the case of complete phase inversion, it is shown that the size of the waterborne particles is comparable with the size of the water droplets before the PIP.

4-Anilinopyrimido[4',5':4,5]selenolo(2,3-b)quinoline and 4-piperazino pyrimido[4',5':4,5]selenolo(2,3-b)quinoline: new DNA intercalating chromophores with antiproliferative activity

We have used circular dichroism, hydrodynamic methods, absorbance, and fluorescence titration to study the interaction of 4-anilinopyrimido[4',5':4,5] selenolo (2,3-b)quinoline (APSQ) and 4-piperazinopyrimido[4',5':4,5] selenolo(2,3-b)quinoline (PPSQ) with DNA. The association constants of APSQ and PPSQ were of the order of 10(4)M(-1). The fluorescence properties at ionic strength 0.01M are best fit by the neighbor exclusion model, with K=0.58-9.2 x 10(4)M(-1) and an exclusion parameter of 0.9-6.4 bp. Binding to the GC-rich DNA of Micrococcus lysodeikticus was stronger than the binding to calf thymus DNA, suggest that drug binds preferentially to G+C pairs at low r. CD spectra indicate that stacking of these compounds with DNA induces a strong helicity in the usually disordered structure of this double strand. Viscosity experiments show with sonicated calf thymus DNA with PPSQ an twice increase in slope (m) as that with APSQ. PPSQ increases the T(m) for calf thymus DNA melting by approximately 10 degrees C as binding approaches saturation, with biphasic melting. The cytotoxicities of these compounds on leukemia HL-60, K-562, B16F10 melanoma and Colo-205 are quite similar and inhibition (IC(50)) was in the range of 0.39-9.80 microM. The anticancer efficacy against B16F10 melanoma has provided evidence of major anticancer activity for PPSQ. Single or multiple intraperitonial (i.p.) doses of drug proved high level activity against the subcutaneous (s.c.) grafted B16 melanoma, significantly increase in life span (ILS 139% and 170%). The aim of this study was to analyze the physiochemical properties of these compounds in an attempt to understand its superior biological activity.     

Brittle–ductile transition in the PETG/PC blends by adding PTW elastomer

In this paper, an elastomer containing epoxy groups, ethylene‐butylacrylate‐glycidylmethacrylate (PTW), was used as toughening modifier for the poly(ethylene glycol‐co‐cyclohexane‐1,4‐dimethanol terephthalate) (PETG)/polycarbonate (PC) blends. A remarkable improvement of toughness was achieved by addition of only 5 wt% PTW. In particular, an obvious brittle–ductile (B–D) transition in impact toughness was found when the PTW content increased from 3 to 5 wt%. The toughening mechanism and observed B–D transition have been explored in detail, combining with electronic microscopy observation, melt rheological investigation and dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA). It is suggested that the B–D transition can be attributed to a better interfacial adhesion between different phases, and importantly, to a continuum percolation dispersed‐phases network formed at appropriate PTW content, in which PC particles are connected with each other by PTW phase. Our present study offers new, profound insight on the toughening mechanism for the elastomer modified amorphous/amorphous plastic blends. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Highly concentrated (gel) emulsions,versatile reaction media

Highly concentrated (gel) emulsions are characterised by dispersed phase volume fractions exceeding 0.74, the critical value for the most compact packing of monodispersed undistorted spheres. Their structure consists of polyhedral droplets separated by thin films of continuous phase, a structure resembling gas–liquid foams. Their rheological properties vary from elastic to viscoelastic having a gel appearance. One of the most promising applications is their use as reaction media. The recent advances in the preparation of low-density polymeric materials (solid foams, aerogels) are reviewed and new applications are described. These include the preparation of dual meso/macroporous inorganic oxide materials and the use of gel emulsions as alternative to conventional solvent media in chemical and enzyme-catalysed reactions.
