In situ polymer nanocomposites: Effect of nanoparticles on the interfacial region

Composites based on the blends of polyurethane and poly(methyl methacrylate) of various composition were synthesized in situ in the presence of various amounts of nanoparticles (fumed silica). From thermophysical measurements it was found that, during reaction, phase separation and evolution of two phases occur. The temperature transitions in the systems and their positions depend on the blend composition and on various amounts of nanoparticles. Using scanning differential calorimetry from the changing of heat capacity increments the fraction of an intermediate region between two main phases has been estimated. For the first time it was observed that in nanocomposites in the temperature region between two main relaxation transitions, there appears a third transition, which was related to the adsorption layers formed by both components at the interface of the nanoparticles. The appearance of such intermediate regions increases essentially the fraction of an interfacial region in the system.

Phase separation at the fiber–matrix interface in composites based on a thermoplastic/polyester blend

A study of the microstructure developing at the surface of glass fibers in a poly(vinyl acetate) (PVAc)/polyester blend is presented. Three different experimental methods are used: a technique based on the Wilhelmy method to measure the wettability of the fibers before curing, and both optical microscopy and atomic force microscopy in the pulsed-force mode to characterize potential phases splitting at the fiber–matrix interface after curing. It was found that, depending on the curing conditions and the concentration in PVAc, the surface treatment of the fiber could have a significant influence on the microstructure. For a concentration in PVAc lower than 5 wt% and a curing temperature of 80°C, extreme cases, such as the development of layers of one of the phases at the surface or the formation of lenses of one phase, were observed. In other cases, in particular for elevated temperatures and higher concentrations in PVAc, the fibers did not exert a significant influence on the morphology. It was also found that in such a reactive system, surface tension considerations alone are insufficient to explain the configuration of the phases at the surface of the fibers.     

Reaction-Induced Phase Separation and Structure Formation in Polymer Blends

The peculiarities of reaction-induced phase separation and the structure formation in semi- and full interpenetrating polymer networks and in the blends of linear polymers formed in situ are analyzed. It is shown that for most of these systems phase separation proceeds viathe spinodal decomposition mechanism resulting in the formation of interconnected spatially periodic structures. The possible ways for the structure regulation of the composites produced are considered.     

Thermal behavior of chemically treated and untreated sisal fiber reinforced composites fabricated by resin transfer molding

Using thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), the thermal behavior of sisal fibers and sisal/polyester composites, fabricated by resin transfer molding (RTM), has been followed. Chemical treatments have been found to increase the thermal stability, which has been attributed to the resultant physical and chemical changes. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and infrared (FT-IR) studies were also performed to study the structural changes and morphology in the sisal fiber during the treatment. The kinetic studies of thermal degradation of untreated and treated sisal fibers have been performed using Broido method. In the composites, as the fiber content increases, the thermal stability of the matrix decreases. The treated fiber reinforced composites have been found to be thermally more stable than the untreated derivatives. The increased thermal stability and reduced moisture behavior of treated composites have been correlated with fiber/matrix adhesion.

One-electron redox reactions of troxerutin in aqueous solutions

The oxidation of flavonoids is of great interest because of their action as antioxidants with the ability to scavenge radicals by means of electron-transfer processes. The redox reactions of the flavonoid derivative troxerutin, (2-[3,4-bis-(2-hydroxyethoxy) phenyl]-3[[6-deoxy-α-L-manno-pyranosyl)-β-(D-glucopyranosyl]-oxy]-5-hydroxy-7-(2-hydroxyethoxy)-4H-1-benzo-pyran-4-one), were investigated over a wide range of conditions, using pulse radiolysis and cyclic voltammetry. The oxidation mechanism proceeds in sequential steps. One-electron redox potentials for troxerutin were found to be +1.196, +0.846 and −0.634 V vs. NHE.     

Electron transfer (oxidation) of complexes between bifunctional phenols and DMSO in non-polar surroundings

Pulse-radiolysis reactions were performed to study the effect of hydrogen bonding to dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) on the oxidation of dihydroxy benzene and biphenyl diols to phenoxyl radicals. It was observed that with DMSO as the hydrogen-bond acceptor, the oxidation process proceeds via proton-coupled electron transfer in the case of hydroquinone. For resorcinol, DMSO acts in a similar way as in the case of hydroquinone. For other biphenols, viz., 2,2′- and 4,4′-biphenyl diols, it was found that DMSO had no effect on the electron transfer. The results are explained based on the ionization potential and structure of the phenol derivatives which probably depends on the rotation of the OH bond causing different electron distribution in the transient conformation.
