高温条件下热固性聚酰亚胺摩擦学性能研究

以3,3,4’,4’-联苯四甲酸二酐(s-BPDA)、4,4’-二氨基二苯醚(4,4’-ODA)、3,4’-二氨基二苯醚(3,4’-ODA)、4-苯乙炔苯酐(4-PEPA)为前驱体,设计并制备了热固性聚酰亚胺.采用球盘式高温摩擦磨损试验机进行室温(25℃)、100、200、250、300和350℃条件下的滑动摩擦磨损试验.通过表征不同温度磨损后的材料和对偶表面形貌,研究了其高温条件下的摩擦行为和磨损机制.结果表明:随着环境温度的升高,热固性聚酰亚胺的磨损率呈现先升高,后降低再升高的趋势;而摩擦系数却一直降低.这种趋势归结于聚合物接触表面机械性能的改变.不同温度条件下的磨损机理也是不同的,25和100℃条件下的磨损主要为疲劳磨损和磨粒磨损;随着环境温度升高到200℃时,磨损表面部分链段易于剪切,形成一层均匀的转移膜而降低了磨粒磨损;当温度升高至250、300以及350℃时,磨损表面的分子链段运动更加剧烈,在试验载荷持续挤压下,分子链间作用力破坏而剥落,磨损率急剧升高,表现为黏着磨损,并且环境温度越高,磨损率越大.     

Kinetic Response of An Epoxy Thermosetting System Observed by TMDSC

The response of a chemical reaction to temperature modulation has been examined experimentally in an epoxy thermosetting system. The kinetic response appears in the imaginary part of the complex heat capacity determined by TMDSC. From the imaginary part and the ‘non-reversing’ heat flow of reaction, the activation energy has been determined. The value of the activation energy obtained is in good agreement with the value determined from Kissinger's plot utilizing the peak temperatures of the exothermic reaction with different heating rates.

Synthesis and ring‐opening reactions of tetraphenyl‐substituted bisoxazoline monomers for preparing new thermosets and composites

To develop new monomers for formulating thermosetting composites, three new tetraphenyl‐substituted bisoxazoline monomers were synthesized via the direct reaction of 2‐(diphenylmethyl)oxazoline with bromoalkyls, using tert‐butyllithium. The structures were confirmed by Fourier transform infrared, nuclear magnetic resonance and mass spectrometry. These bisoxazolines have different melting points with varied molecular chain flexibility. They functioned well as crosslinkers when heated with phenolic resins or poly(acrylic acid), providing a path to new thermosetting materials with controlled glass transition temperature. To clarify the crosslinking reaction mechanism, the model reactions of these monomers with phenol and acetic acid were investigated. Copyright © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Various silicon‐containing polymers with Si(H)?CC units

Nine new kinds of thermosetting polymers with the Si(H)? C?C unit were synthesized by dehydrogenative polycondensation reactions between hydrosilanes and diethynyl compounds in the presence of a magnesia catalyst. Phenylsilane, silane, vinylsilane, and n‐octylsilane were used as the hydrosilanes, and 1,3‐diethynylbenzene, 1,4‐diethynylbenzene, 4,4′‐diethynyldiphenyl ether, and 1,3‐diethynyl‐1,1,3,3‐tetramethyldisiloxane were used as the diethynyl compounds. All the polymers were thermosetting, highly heat‐resistant, easily soluble in a solvent, and moldable. In particular, ? Si(R)H? C?C? C₆H₄? C?C? (R = H or CH?CH₂) showed high thermal stability; the temperature of 5% weight loss was greater than 800 °C, and the residue at 1000 °C was over 90%. The thermal stabilities of the polymers were attributed to the crosslinking reaction of the Si? H and C?C bonds. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Influence of Polymer Specimen Structure on The Reproducibility of Micro-thermomechanical Transitions

Glass transitions of amorphous polystyrenes with low polydispersity were evaluated using the modulated Local Thermal Analysis mode of the TA Instruments 2990 μ TA and evaluating the thermomechanical signal. Transition temperature variance and fraction of transitions measured were compared for high molecular mass thermosetting materials and the melt of Nylon 6.6. The transition reproducibility was found to decrease as the molecular size of the polymer samples increased. Reproducibility also decreased for thermosetting materials when the experimental ramp rate was decreased. Heat transfer within the specimen was evaluated using finite element analysis, allowing scaling of microscale experimental results for comparison to bulk transitions.

Novel bio‐based IPNs obtained by simultaneous thermal polymerization of flexible methacrylate network based on a vegetable oil and a rigid epoxy

A series of novel vegetable oil‐based interpenetrating polymer networks (IPNs) have been successfully prepared: on one hand, methacrylated camelina oil (MCO) and a polyethyleneglycol dimethacrylate (PEG, MW 750 g/mol) and on the other hand, diglycidylether of bisphenol A (DER), in various blend ratios (75/25, 50/50, and 25/75 wt). Hence the appealing innovative direction of the current work was to build oil‐based poly(methacrylate) network using PEG macromonomer which is able to modulate adequately the crosslinking degree of the oil‐based network. These innovative combinations of cross‐linkable resins in terms of flexible methacrylate network based on camelina oil (CO) and PEG and a rigid epoxy (DER) were simultaneously polymerized using two independent non‐interfering curing reactions: free‐radical process for MCO and anionic polymerization of epoxy resin in the presence of a tertiary amine. The effect of the IPNs composition compositional characteristics on the reactivity of methacrylate or epoxy groups was studied using differential scanning calorimetry. The influence of the MCO‐PEG bio‐based polymer on the system properties was evaluated after curing by dynamic mechanical and thermogravimetric analyses. In addition mechanical and morphological studies were also carried out. The results suggested that blending of MCO and DER gave synergistic effects on the overall properties of the developed oil‐based IPNs and a dependence on the methacrylate/epoxy ratio was clearly noticed.

New soybean oil–styrene–divinylbenzene thermosetting copolymers. II. Dynamic mechanical properties

A variety of new polymeric materials ranging from soft rubbers to hard, tough, and brittle plastics were prepared from the cationic copolymerization of regular soybean oil, low saturation soybean oil (LoSatSoy oil), or conjugated LoSatSoy oil with styrene and divinylbenzene initiated by boron trifluoride diethyl etherate (BF₃ · OEt₂) or related modified initiators. The relationship between the dynamic mechanical properties of the various polymers obtained and the stoichiometry, the types of soybean oils and crosslinking agents, and the different modified initiators was investigated. The room‐temperature storage moduli ranged from 6 × 10⁶ to 2 × 10⁹ Pa, whereas the single glass‐transition temperatures (T_g) varied from approximately 0 to 105 °C. These properties were comparable to those of commercially available rubbery materials and conventional plastics. The crosslinking densities of the new polymers were largely dependent on the concentration of the crosslinking agent and the type of soybean oil employed and varied from 74 to 4 × 10⁴ mol/m³. The T_g increased and the intensity of the loss factor decreased irregularly with an increase in the logarithmic crosslinking densities of the polymers. Empirical equations were established to describe the effect of crosslinking on the loss factor in these new polymeric materials. The polymers based on conjugated LoSatSoy oil, styrene, and divinylbenzene possessed the highest room‐temperature moduli and T_g 's. These new soybean oil polymers appear promising as replacements for petroleum‐based polymeric materials. © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Polym Sci B: Polym Phys 38: 2721–2738, 2000     

Epoxy resin curing reaction studied by proton multiple‐quantum NMR

This study demonstrates that the curing reaction of thermosetting polymers, in particular, epoxy resins cured with aliphatic amines, can be characterized by different multiple‐quantum (MQ) NMR experiments performed in low‐field spectrometers. Measurements of the curing reaction at 40 °C, 70 °C, and 100 °C are carried out to obtain the kinetic parameters like induction time, vitrification time, polymerization rate, and activation energy being consistent with data obtained by other traditional and complementary techniques. Besides, it is demonstrated that ¹H MQ‐NMR spectroscopy is a successful approach to overcome the experimental challenge arising from the characterization of high dipolar‐coupled polymers to study the network structure and segmental dynamics of thermosetting polymer networks. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Recent development on bio-based thermosetting resins

Due to the rapid depletion of crude oil and serious environmental pollution, the synthesis of polymers from renewable resource is becoming more and more important. Up to now, a great variety of biomass and bio-based platform compounds have been taken to prepare the polymers. However, as two representative thermosetting resins, epoxy and benzoxazine resin derived from renewable feedstocks only obtain limited attention compared with the popular bio-based plastics, including PLA, PBAT and PHBV etc. The reason might be that the properties of previously reported thermosetting resins directly obtained from biomass are usually unsatisfied, and their application fields are limited. In this paper, the latest development on the synthesis of high-performance bio-based epoxy and polybenzoxazine resins are reviewed. In addition, to further broaden their applications, the functionalization strategies are also summarized. The objective of this work is to help us fully aware the present situation of bio-based thermosetting resins and then promote their faster development, especially practical application.     

Thermosets containing benzoxazole units: Liquid‐crystalline behavior and thermal conductivity

A series of liquid‐crystalline (LC) thermosetting monomers containing benzoxazole (BO) units were synthesized to evaluate the thermal conductivities (λ) of their cured resins. A BO‐containing bisnadiimide system showed LC behavior during the heating process. However, the thermal cure of the bisnadiimide provided a film without optical anisotropy; consequently, the cured film exhibited normal levels of thermal diffusivity (α) and thermal conductivity (λ). The disappearance of the optically anisotropic ordered structures during thermal curing is likely related to the temperature gaps between the cure reaction ranges and LC ranges (T_cure‐T_LC gap). In addition, epoxy resins consisting of bisepoxides and BO‐containing diamines were investigated because of their high flexibility in terms of molecular design that can be used to reduce the T_cure‐T_LC gap. The combination of a terephthalylidene‐type bisepoxide and BO‐containing diamine with a controlled flexible chain length resulted in the smallest T_cure‐T_LC gap among the epoxy resin systems examined herein. The cured epoxy resin film exhibited an appreciably increased λ value (0.257 W m^?1 K^?1) in the Z direction. This indicated the importance of the T_cure‐T_LC gap for enhancing the α and λ values of the cured films. This epoxy resin system was cured under a continuous DC electric field during polarizing optical microscopy. A prompt response with deformation of the LC domains was observed in harmony with temporal ON/OFF switching of the DC power supply. As expected, the cured film exhibited a significantly enhanced λ value (0.488 W m^?1 K^?1) in the Z direction.
