Air-Coupled Ultrasonic Cure Monitoring of Unsaturated Polyester Resins

Air-coupled ultrasound in one-side transmission mode has been applied to monitor the curing process of an unsaturated polyester resin, commonly used as a matrix in glass reinforced composites. The evolution of the resin mechanical properties during cure has been measured from the variation of longitudinal velocity. The technique has demonstrated to be a very powerful tool for detecting the structural changes occurring at gelation and vitrification. The no-contact ultrasonic results have been compared with those obtained using conventional contact ultrasonic measurements, characterized by direct coupling between the transducer and the resin, and with the rheological measurements. The good agreement among the results of the different techniques demonstrates the reliability of air-coupled ultrasound in monitoring the changes of viscoelastic properties occurring during the cure of thermosetting polymers. A further advantage of the proposed one-side ultrasonic technique is the absence of physical contact between the transducers and the sample, which is relevant during composite manufacturing, where probe contact could adversely affect the part quality or access from both sides is not practicable. No-contact ultrasonic cure monitoring is suitable for both stationary and moving liquid or solid samples in several process conditions such as moulding, filament winding, etc., opening the way to new applications of ultrasound in the composite industry.     

DSC and TSDC Study of Unsaturated Polyester Resin. Influence of the promoter content

This work reports on the curing kinetics of unsaturated polymer resins (UPRs) cured with styrene, studied by differential scanning calorimetry and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The data lead to determination of the experimental conditions with which to obtain a fully cured material and open the way for study of the relaxation phenomena by means of thermally stimulated depolarization current analysis (TSDC). In relaxation studies on fully cured resins, the TSDC spectra revealed important overlapping of the main relaxation peak with an extra upper peak. The importance of this extra peak a priori prevents further analysis of the main relaxation. To identify the origins of this peak (space charge or other), the purity of the resin was checked by X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy. The use of UPR specimens with different compositions (in terms of the resin/activator/initiator ratio) demonstrated that the bulk of the impurities Cl, K, Ca, Sr, Zr and Ba are due to the promoter. Decoupling of the mixed peaks (α-relaxation and extra) revealed that the a peak is independent of the proportion of the promoter in the resin and that the extra peak is principally due to the presence of these impurities.

Analysis of Thermally Stimulated Depolarization Currents (TSDC) Measured on Exchanged Clays

This work shows that hydration of clays can be studied by means of a new interpretation of thermally stimulated depolarization currents technique. These measurements have been performed on four exchanged natural clays: Na-montmorillonite, Ca-montmorillonite, kaolinite, and illite. The results are analyzed using both the recently developed analysis of relaxation times distribution and the electronegativity equalization method. They provide evidence of the surface heterogeneity of clays. It is established that sites, identical from a crystallographic point of view, are different when the energy of the phenomenon is considered. The main interest of this work is to give for the first time a value of the hydration energy of cation onto clay surfaces. Copyright 2000 Academic Press.     

The slow molecular mobility in poly(vinyl acetate) revisited: New contributions from Thermally Stimulated Currents

The relaxational processes in amorphous solid poly(vinyl acetate) are studied by Thermally Stimulated Depolarisation Currents (TSDC) in the temperature region from −165 °C (108 K) up to 60 °C (333 K). The influence of aging on the current peaks of the secondary relaxation is discussed, and it is concluded that some modes of motion of this mobility are aging independent, while others are affected by aging. A particular attention is focused on the discussion of the degree of cooperativity of the motional modes of the secondary relaxation, and the conclusion to be driven from the results is that all these modes do not show any appreciable cooperative character. The method of determination of the temperature dependent relaxation time is discussed in the case of non-exponential relaxations. The fragility (or steepness index) of poly(vinyl acetate) is calculated from TSDC data and the obtained value is compared with that obtained by broadband dielectric spectroscopy.

Curing of Styrene-Free Unsaturated Polyester Alkyd and Development of Novel Related Clay Nanocomposites

Thermoset unsaturated polyesters (UP) are usually obtained by crosslinking of alkyd chains dissolved in an unsaturated reactive monomeric diluent, usually styrene. Recently we found that UP-alkyd chains (without styrene) are intrinsically cured into a crosslinked matrix in the presence of peroxide. The thermal, mechanical, dynamic mechanical and chemorheological properties and the network molecular structure of the crosslinked UP-alkyd are a function of the peroxide content used. All properties change considerably upon the addition of small amounts of peroxide (between 1 and 2%wt.) and change to a lesser extent upon employing higher peroxide concentrations (up to 6%wt.). Due to co-occurrence of crosslinking and scission events, the crosslinked system contains both gel and sol fractions. The sol fraction demonstrates a plasticizing effect on the crosslinked network, affecting the thermal and mechanical properties of the crosslinked polymer. The new materials developed in this work are interesting for utilization in innovative styrene-free UP-alkyd/organo-clay nanocomposites. It was found that inducing high shear levels for prolonged durations promotes the intercalation and exfoliation of the silicate layers, resulting in a better dispersion of clay particles. Crosslinking of the UP-alkyd/organo-clay nanocomposites alters their nanostructure, particularly affected by the peroxide content used. Thus, depending on the content employed, either an exfoliated or a combined intercalated/exfoliated structure may be realized.     

Electrical simulation of Thermally Stimulated Depolarization Current Experiments

In this paper we present an electrical model of simulation. This model is used to simulate Thermally Stimulated Depolarization Current measurements. The time constant of the model shows the same temperature behaviour as that observed for amorphous materials. The computations by means of SPICE software give results which are very close to be behaviour laws used in the theory of relaxation in amorphous materials.     

Reactive Distillation: An Attractive Alternative for the Synthesis of Unsaturated Polyester

Summary: Unsaturated polyester is traditionally produced in a batch wise operating reaction vessel connected to a distillation unit. An attractive alternative for the synthesis of unsaturated polyester is a reactive distillation. To value such alternative synthesis route reliable process models need to be developed. In this paper, the strategy is described for the development of the reactive distillation model. Essential parts of the reactive distillation model are kinetic and thermodynamic which are subsequently validated with the experimental data of the traditional batch process such as acid value of the polyester, weight of the distillate and glycol concentration in the distillate. We find that the models predict these important variables reliably. Unsaturated polyester production time is around 12 hours in the traditional batch process. However, the simulation study of the reactive distillation process shows that the total production time of unsaturated polyester in a continuous reactive distillation system is between 1.5 hours to 2 hours for the same product quality as during batch production. The equilibrium conversion is raised by 7% compared to the traditional batch process. The model demonstrated that reactive distillation has the potential to intensify the process by factor of 6 to 8 in comparison to the batch reactor.     

Assessment of the Nature of Depolarization Current in Thermally Treated Kapton Polyimide

Pyrolysis of normally insulating aromatic polyimide is known to impart electrical conductivity to the polymer due to the formation of carbonized regions in an insulating matrix with a concomitant change in the polymer’s structural arrangement. The wholly pyrolyzed polyimide is potentially useful for specific applications in certain types of semiconductor devices because of the polyimide’s insulator/conductor transition which creates a barrier type conduction. Pyrolysis, however, degrades the required mechanical integrity of the polyimide for construction of such devices. In order to evaluate the fundamental aspects of barrier conduction by high voltage electron transfer from metal contact that can still produce measurable current in thermally treated non-pyrolyzed polyimide, the nature of depolarization in Kapton was assessed by the thermally stimulated depolarization current (TSDC) technique. The results show that thermal treatment of polyimide without pyrolysis and therefore without loss of mechanical integrity offers a viable means of steady electron conduction for semiconductor operation.
