Imine Oligomers and Polymers

Abstract

In the last few years, polymers with highly conjugated chains have attracted much attention because of their wide variety of applications in the field of electronics, opto‐electronics, and photonics. Polyimines (PIs) (polymeric Schiff bases) is a class of polymer family, which has been less reviewed. In this paper, we focus on the synthesis methods of PIs by polycondensation, using diamines or hydrazine and dialdehydes, diketones or quinone compounds, or by chemical and electrochemical polymerization of imine oligomers containing terminal oxidable groups (pyrrole, thiophene, furan, naphthalene, etc). PIs with liquid crystalline behavior or having rotaxane and dendrimer architectures are also discussed. Structure, thermal, opto‐electronic, electrical, and mechanical properties and some potential applications of this class of polymers are presented in the last chapters.     

The reinforcing effect of polydopamine functionalized graphene nanoplatelets on the mechanical properties of epoxy resins at cryogenic temperature

In order to obtain epoxy nanocomposites with excellent mechanical properties at cryogenic temperature, an efficient method to functionalize graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs) is proposed. Through a simple dip-coating procedure, the GNPs were first functionalized with deposition of polydopamine coating (PDA@GNPs). Then, using polydopamine as a bridge, the PDA@GNPs were modified with amine groups after polyetheramine T403 grafting (T403-PDA@GNPs). Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analyses proved the successful functionalization of PDA and polyetheramine T403 on the surface of GNPs. Adding 0.1 wt% T403-PDA@GNPs significantly improved the cryogenic tensile strength and impact strength of the epoxy nanocomposites by 34.5% and 64.5%, which showed greater reinforcing effect than the pristine GNPs (12.6% and 19.1%) and PDA@GNPs (26.3% and 50.1%). The results of dynamic mechanical analysis and scanning electron microscopy observations indicated that the PDA and further polyetheramine T403 functionalization improved the interfacial interactions between GNPs and matrix, which ensured the much improved mechanical properties.     

The role of microstructure on the mechanical properties of polyurethane foams containing thermoregulating microcapsules

Rigid polyurethane foams with up to 50 wt% of microcapsules from LDPE-EVA containing Rubitherm^®RT27 were synthesized. The influence of microcapsules on the foams density, microstructure and mechanical resistance was studied. Cell size and strut and wall thicknesses were analyzed by SEM. The relationships between densities and foam microstructures with their Young's moduli and collapse stress were found by the Gibson and Ashby formulations and the Kerner equation for mechanical properties of composites. It was found a cell structure change from polyhedral closed-cells to spherical or amorphous open-cells. A good agreement between the experimental and theoretical data was observed but requiring a cell form factor. Thus, Fitting parameters confirmed the high trend of these microcapsules to be incorporated into the foam cell walls and the form factors depicted the abrupt change of cell morphology. Thus, these equations are suitable for predicting the mechanical properties of foams containing fillers of low mechanical resistance.     

Equivalent nonlinear beam model for the 3-D analysis of shear-type buildings: Application to aeroelastic instability

Tower buildings can be very sensitive to dynamic actions and their dynamic analysis is usually carried out numerically through sophisticated finite element models. In this paper, an equivalent nonlinear one-dimensional shear–shear–torsional beam model immersed in a three-dimensional space is introduced to reproduce, in an approximate way, the dynamic behavior of tower buildings. It represents an extension of a linear beam model recently introduced by the authors, accounting for nonlinearities generated by the stretching of the columns. The constitutive law of the beam is identified from a discrete model of a 3D-frame, via a homogenization process, which accounts for the rotation of the floors around the tower axis. The macroscopic shear strain in the equivalent beam is produced by the bending of columns, accompanied by negligible rotation of the floors. A coupled nonlinear shear–torsional mechanical model is thus obtained. The coupling between shear and torsion is related to a non-symmetric layout of the columns, while mechanical nonlinearities are proportional to the slenderness of the columns. The model can be used for the analysis of the response of tower buildings to any kind of dynamic and static excitation. A first application is here presented to investigate the effect of mechanical and aerodynamic coupling on the critical galloping conditions and on the postcritical behavior of tower buildings, based on a quasi-steady model of aerodynamic forces.     

Mechanical recyclability of technical biopolymers: Potential and limits

The mechanical recyclability of the technical biopolymers polytrimethylene terephthalate (PTT), cellulose acetate butyrate (CAB), polybutylene succinate (PBS) and polyhydroxy alkanoate blend (PHBV/PBAT) was evaluated by assessing the effect of repeated polymer processing (extrusion without further compounding with virgin material or additives) on the material structure and mechanical properties. Reprocessing-induced hydrolytic degradation was found to be the prevalent aging mechanism of the investigated biopolymer grades. However, susceptibility to hydrolysis, and thus maintenance of the performance characteristics, differed strongly between the biopolymer types. To that effect, PTT and CAB especially exhibit a high potential for mechanical recycling. By taking advantage of appropriate additivation, the mechanical recyclability of PBS and PHBV/PBAT is also assumed to be high.     

Effect of melt viscosity and surface tension of polymers on the percolation threshold of conductive-particle-filled polymeric composites

The electrical conductivities of carbon-black-filled low-density polyethylene (LDPE), poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA), and poly(vinyl chloride)-vinyl acetate (PVC/ VAc) copolymer were measured as functions of carbon content and melt viscosity of the matrix at the temperatures at which the composites were prepared. Sharp breaks in the relationship between the carbon filler content and the conductivity of composites were observed in all specimens at some content of the carbon filler. The conductivity jumps as much as 10 orders of magnitude at the break point. This phenomenon has been known as the “percolation threshold”. The critical carbon content corresponding to the break point     

Experimental evidence of size effect in nano-reinforced polymers: Case of silica reinforced PMMA

This study aims at quantifying the nano-size effect in terms of elastic and thermal properties in nano-reinforced polymers. Nano-reinforced PMMA with 4% volume fraction of silica nanoparticles was prepared using particle diameters of 15 nm, 25 nm, 60 nm, 150 nm and 500 nm. Uniaxial tensile tests showed an increase in Young's modulus with decreasing particle diameter when the volume fraction was kept constant. This increase is the signature of the nano-size effect on the macroscopic mechanical properties. Conversely to mechanical properties, the presence of particles in the matrix induced a decrease in glass transition, possibly due to weak interactions between the matrix and silica nanoparticles.     

Employment of Carbon Nanomaterials for Welding Polyethylene Joints with a Nd:YAG Laser

Single-lap polymeric joints can be obtained using laser welding overlapping two polymeric sheets, with one laser transparent and the other laser adsorbent. In this study we employed crystalline carbon nanomaterials (in amounts of 0.2, 0.5, and 1.0 wt.%) as filler to enhance the absorption of polyethylene (UHMWPE type). A Nd:YAG laser operating at 1064 nm was used as a power source to make the welded joints. Morphological, mechanical, and calorimetrical tests were carried out to study the strength of the joints made. Serious attention was paid to find the best compromise between exposure time to laser light and filler amount. We found that in the optimal conditions (with 0.2 wt.% filler and 60 s exposure time) the joint exhibits a good shear strength with a regular welded area. In fact, the best conditions guarantee proper absorption power of the laser light and deep interpenetration of the chains between the two polymeric sheets without any damage.
