STUDY ON THE EPOXY RESIN TOUGHENED BY HYDROXY-TERMINATED BUTADIENE-ACRYLONITRILE COPOLYMER

Toughened epoxy resin with excellent properties was obtained by adding organic acid anhydride curing agent and hydroxy-terminated butadiene-acrylonitrile copolymer (HTBN), which is cheaper than CTBN. The anhydride reacts with both epoxy groups on epoxy resin and hydroxyl groups on HTBN. As a result the soft long chains of HTBN and the rigid chain of epoxy resin form one network, giving the resin toughness. Two-phase structure of the toughened resin was observed by SEM and TEM.

EPOXY RESIN TOUGHENED BY THERMOPLASTICS

Two kinds of tough ductile heatresisting thermoplastic, namely bisphenol A polysulfone (PSF) and polyethersulfone (PES) were used to toughen thermoset epoxy resin. A systematic study on the relationship between the molecular weight and the terminal group of the thermoplastic modifier and the fracture toughness of the modified resin was carried out. The morphology of PSF modified epoxy resin was surveyed. With the same kind of PSF the structure of the epoxy resin and the toughening effect of PSF was also investigated. The fractography of PSF, particle modified epoxy was examined in detail with SEM. The contribution of every possible energy absorption process has been discussed. Crack pinning mechanism seems to be the most important toughening mechanism for tough ductile thermoplastic PSF particle modified epoxy system.

PREPARATION OF BISPHENOL A EPOXY RESIN WATERBORNE DISPERSIONS BY THE PHASE INVERSION EMULSIFICATION TECHNIQUE*

The phase inversion emulsification technique (PIET) is an effective physical method for preparing waterbornedispersions of polymer resins. Some results concerning the preparation of bisphenol A epoxy resin waterborne dispersions byPIET in our laboratory were summarized. Electrical properties, rheological behavior and morphological evolution duringphase inversion progress were systematically characterized. The effects of the emulsifier concentration and emulsificationtemperature on phase inversion progress and the structural features of the waterborne particles were studied as well. Thedeformation and break up of water drops in a shear field were analyzed in terms of micro-rheology, while the interaction andcoalescence dynamics of water drops were discussed in terms of DLVO theory and Smoluchowski effective collision theory,respectively. Based on the experimental results and theoretical analysis, a physical model of phase inversion progress wassuggested, by which the effects of the parameters on phase inversion progress and the structural features of the waterborneparticles were interpreted and predicted.     

SYNTHESIS AND THERMAL PROPERTIES OF A NEW CHOLIC ACIDCONTAINING COPOLYMER

A new copolymer was synthesized by free radical polymerization in solution from methyl 3α-methylacryloyl-7α, 12α-dihydroxy-5β-cholan-24-oate (MACAME) and maleic anhydride (MAN). The copolymer was characterized by FT-IR and functional group analysis. The reactivity ratios of the two monomers were estimated [r_1 = 11.6 (MACAME), r_2 = 0.01(MAN)] by conducting a series of copolymerizations with a variety of monomer feed compositions and analyzing thecopolymer composition. Thermogravimetric and differential scanning calorimetric analyses of the samples indicate that thecopolymer possesses good thermal stability. The temperature at which the copolymer samples experienced a 10% weight loss(T_(WL)) is over 287℃, and the T_g ranged from 174 to 185℃ for the copolymers.     

SYNTHESIS AND PROPERTIES OF ANILING ANILING AND 0-AMINOBENZENESULFONIC ACID COPOLYMER*

Poly(aniline- co-o-aminobenzenesulfonic acid) (PAOABSA) as a water soluble conducting polymerwas synthesized by chemical polymerization. The productivity and the room-temperature conductivity of thecopolymer were measured as a function of the reaction conditions, such as reaction temperature, the ratio ofoxidant to monomer and the degree of sulfonation defined as the ratio of sulfur to nitrogen atoms(S/N). Themain results obtained are summarized as follows : (1) lower reaction temperature (at about 0℃) is favorablefor the enhancement of the room-temperature conductivity of the copolymer; (2) higher content of oxidant isunfavorable for increasing the room-temperature conductivity of the copolymer; (3) both productivity androom-temperature conductivity of the copolymer decrease with increase of the degree of sulfonation whichwas always lower than 0.5 even an excess of o-aminobenzenesulfonic acid was added, probably because thereactivity ratio of aniline (γ=2.99± 0.05) is much higher than that of o-aminobenzenesulfonic acid (γ_2 = 0.06±0.02) estimated by using Fineman-Ross method and least square method.     

BARRIER PROPERTIES OF VINYLIDENE CHLORIDE/METHYL ACRYLATE COPOLYMER

A series of vinylidene dichloride (VDC) copolymers with methyl acrylate (MA) ascomonomer (3--12wt%), was prepared by free-radical suspension copolymerization. Thepermeability coefficients of the copolymers to oxygen and carbon dioxide were measured at1.0 MPa and at 30℃, and those to water vapor were measured at 30℃ and 100% relativehumidity All the VDC/MA copolymers studied are semicrystalline. As the MA contentincreases, the permeability coefficients of the copolymers to oxygen, carbon dioxide, andwater vapor are progressively increased, caused by decrease in crystalline fraction andincrease in free volume of VDC/MA copolymers.     

PHASE STRUCTURE AND PROPERTIES OF EPOXY RESIN MODIFIED BY POLYSILOXANE BEARING PENDANT AMINO GROUPS

Polysiloxane-modified epoxy resins were prepared through the reaction of epoxy resin with polydimethylsiloxanesbearing pendant N-(β-aminoethyl)-γ-aminopropyl groups. The morphology and properties of the cured epoxy resins modifiedby the polysiloxanes were investigated. It was found that the phase structure and properties of the cured epoxy resins dependmainly on the amino group content in the polydimethylsiloxane and the level of the modifier. The change of phase structurein the cured epoxy resin systems was responsible for the dramatic change in their mechanical and surface properties.

PROPERTIES AND MORPHOLOGY OF LIQUID CHLOROPRENE-METHACRYLIC ACID COPOLYMER MODIFIED EPOXY RESIN/POLY (BUTYL METHACRYLATE) SEMI-IPN

A series of liquid chloroprene-methacrylic acid copolymcr (CP--co-MAA) modified epoxy resin (ER)/poly (butyl methacrylate) (PBMA). semi-IPN were synthesized. Some physical properties were investigated. DSC diagrams showed two indistinct and inward endothermal transitions corresponding to the transitions of two networks in the semi-IPN system. By observing morphology with SEM technique it shows that there is a multiphase structure, in which CP-co-MAA's. domain sizes arc about 0.10--0.80μ. With increasing C/E ratio, the domain eizes are getting smaller, which is due to effect of mixing network of CP-co-MAA promoting entanglement and interpenetrating of PBMA and CP-co-MAA-ER network. In most of the semi-IPN's compositions, ER phase readily maintains its phase continuity while PBMA phase presents a band shape structure. Consequently, crosslinking network keeps in its continuous phase more readily than uncrosslinking one, thus it influences dominantly on the physical properties.

SYNTHESIS AND PROPERTIES OF NEW MESOGEN-JACKETED LIQUID CRYSTALLINE POLYMERS*

Some new mesogen-jacketed liquid crystalline polymers (MJLCP) with polymer backbones, spacers, andmesogenic units of different structures were synthesized by radical polymerization. The mesomorphic behavior of thesepolymers was examined using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and polarizing optical microscopy (POM). Theirliquid crystallinity is influenced by the variation of polymer backbone, spacer, mesogenic unit and its terminal groups. Theresults show that 1) a more flexible polymer main-chain is more favorable to the formation of a liquid crystal phase, while 2)a flexible spacer will decrease the "Jacket Effect" and the liquid crystallinity and 3) a subtle modification of the terminalgroups on the mesogenic unit may also have a significant influence on properties of the polymers.

By using a two-stage soapless emulsion polymerization, four kinds of core-shell nanoparticles have been prepared,which are composed of a polystyrene core having an average diameter of 256 nm and a poly(methyl methacrylate-co-acrylicacid) shell. The transmission electron microscopy (TEM) micrographs and the atomic force microscopy (AFM) imagesevidenced the presence of a core-shell structure. In the infrared spectra, the shift of v_(COOH) to lower wavenumber withincreasing Eu~(3 ) ion content indicates that coordination between the oxygen of the carboxylic group and Eu~(3 ) has occurred.The fluorescence intensity of ~5D_0-~7F_2 transition was observed to reach its maximum with a carboxyl group molar percentageof 40% in the shell and an Eu~(3 )/--COO~- molar ratio of 1:3. The fluorescence intensity ratio of ~5D_0-~7F_2 to ~5D_0-~7F_1 transition reached its maximum with an Eu~(3 )/--COO~- molar ratio of 1:3 for all the four series.

STUDY ON THE THERMODYNAMIC PROPERTIES OF ADSORPTION OF ETHYL BENZOATE AND DIETHYL PHTHALATE BY PHENOLIC RESIN ADSORBENTS

This paper presents experimental observations on the adsorption of individual solutes by a simple thermodynamic framework, and the equilibrium adsorption of ethyl benzoate and diethyl phthalate on phenolic resin adsorbent in hexane solutions within the temperature range of 293-313 K. The experimental results show that the Freundlich adsorption law is applicable to the adsorption of ethyl benzoate and diethyl phthalate on the adsorbent, since all the correlative factors R‘are larger than 0.99. The negative values of all the isosteric adsorption enthalpies for ethyl benzoate and diethyl phthalate indicate that they undergo exothermic processes, while their magnitudes (19-28 kJ/mol) manifest a hydrogen bonding sorption process. Other thermodynamic properties: the free energy changes and the entropy change associated with the adsorption have been calculated from the Gibbs adsorption equation and the Gibbs-Helmholtz equation.
