A novel fluorescent epoxy resin for organophosphate pesticide detection

In this work,a novel bisbenzimidazolylpyridine-functionalized fluorescent epoxy resin was synthesized for organophosphate pesticide detection.The epoxy resin was characterized by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy(FT-IR),proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy(~1H NMR),gel permeation chromatography(CPC),differential scanning calorimetry(DSC) and fluorescence spectroscopy.After loading with Eu(Ⅲ) ions,the epoxy resin showed a strong fluorescence emission.The fluorescence emission was observed to be instantaneously quenched when exposed to trace amount of diethyl chlorophosphate in solution.The Stern-Volmer quenching constants K_(sv) for quenching at617 nm was determined to be 0.377 × 10~3 L/mol.This sensitive emission-quenching function and easy processing nature of the polymeric support enable the resin to be a promising chemosensor candidate for the detection of organophosphates.     

A novel graphene hybrid for reducing fire hazard of epoxy resin

Epoxy resin (EP) is more and more important in many fields, but its application is limited due to the inflammability in air of EP. Therefore, reducing the fire hazard of EP is necessary. In this work, a kind of hybrid flame retardant (α‐ZrP‐RGO) consisting of a 2‐dimensional inorganic reduced graphene oxide (RGO) modified with a planar‐like α‐zirconium phosphate (α‐ZrP) particles was prepared successfully via 1‐step hydrothermal method. The effects of α‐ZrP‐RGO on the thermal performance, flame retardancy, and smoke suppression of EP were investigated by preparing EP composites containing both EP and α‐ZrP‐RGO. Thermogravimetric results revealed that α‐ZrP‐RGO could improve the char yield of EP at 700°C obviously. In addition, compared with pure EP, the peak heat release rate and the total heat release of EP composites were decreased significantly, while the limited oxygen index of EP composites was increased. Meanwhile, the smoke production rate of EP composites was reduced obviously with the addition of α‐ZrP‐RGO. The enhanced flame retardancy and smoke suppression of EP composites were mainly attributed to not only the physical barrier effect of both α‐ZrP and RGO but also the catalytic effect of α‐ZrP during the combustion process of EP composites.     

A novel epoxy methacrylate resin containing phthalazinone moiety for UV coatings

A novel phthalazinone modified epoxy acrylate resin for the high temperature resistant ultravioet (UV) curable coating was synthesized. The methacrylated epoxy resins obtained were utilized to UV radiation curing by taking 2.5% (wt%) of photoinitiator in combination with 20% (wt%) of diluent, and generated the interpenetraring polymer networks. The cured film had good thermal and chemical stability.     

A novel intumescent flame retardant imparts high flame retardancy to epoxy resin

Intumescent flame retardant (IFR) has received the considerable attention ascribed to the inherent advantages including non‐halogen, low toxicity, low smoke release and environmentally friendly. In this work, a novel charring agent poly (piperazine phenylaminophosphamide) named as PPTA was successfully synthesized and characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectra (FTIR) and X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Then, a series of flame‐retardant EP samples were prepared by blending with ammonium polyphosphate (APP) and PPTA. Combustion tests include oxygen Index (LOI), vertical Burning Test (UL‐94) and cone calorimeter testing,these test results showed that PPTA greatly enhances the flame retardancy of EP/APP. According to detailed results, EP containing 10 wt% APP had a LOI value of 30.2%,but had no enhancement on UL‐94 rating. However, after both 7.5 wt% APP and 2.5 wt% PPTA were added, EP‐7 passed UL‐94 V‐0 rating with a LOI value of 33.0%. Moreover, the peak heat release rate (PHRR) and peak of smoke product rate (PSPR) of EP‐7 were greatly decreased. Meanwhile, the flame‐retardant mechanism of EP‐7 was investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), thermogravimetric analysis/infrared spectrometry (TG‐IR) and X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The corresponding results presented PPTA significantly increased the density of char layer, resulting in the good flame retardancy.     

Preparation of a novel polystyrene-based urea resin

A urea-functionalized polystyrene-resin with a Rink linker was prepared by adaptation of a solution-phase synthesis to solid-phase chemistry. Thereby, a resin-bound acylurea was formed by reacting a Rink-amide resin with trichloroacetyl isocyanate, followed by the thermal removal of the trichloroacetyl group and thus generating the unsubstituted solid-supported urea.

Polyamide nanocomposites

Polyamides are thermoplastic polymers mainly used for producing synthetic fibers. Only about 10% of polyamides are used for plastics production. The market is shared roughly equally between polyamide 6 (polycaprolactam) and polyamide 66 {poly (hexamethyleneadipamide)}. More recently, the research on polyamides led to their nanocomposites. These new hybrid polyamides are reinforced with nanofillers able to increase their main properties and also bring some new interesting characteristics. This paper deals with nanocomposites made of various polyamides and nanofillers; they find application in many engineering fields.     

A novel photosensitive ternary complex consisting of phenol‐formaldehyde resin,sodium dodecyl sulfate,and diazo resin

A novel photosensitive ternary complex formed from phenol‐formaldehyde resin (PR), sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), and diazo resin (DR) was developed. In the presence of SDS, PR remains soluble in water when its solution is neutralized. The PR‐SDS‐DR ternary complex forms when DR is added to the PR‐SDS solution. The ternary complex dissolves in polar solvents such as dimethylformamide and is sensitive toward UV light or heating. It was confirmed that the ionic bond of  SO +N₂ between SDS and DR converts to a covalent bond after the decomposition of the ⁺N₂ group under UV irradiation or heating. As a result, the solubility of PR‐SDS‐DR changes dramatically; that is, after treatment with UV light or heating, PR‐SDS‐DR becomes insoluble in polar solvents. © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Studies on Molecular Composites of Polyamide 6/Polyamide 66

Summary: A series of molecular composites of PA 6/PA 66 was synthesized via in situ polymerization. The impact resistance of PA 6 was improved dramatically by incorporating a minor amount of PA 66 (2–10 wt.‐%), without decreasing the tensile strength. Inserting PA 66 macromolecules at a molecular level into a PA 6 matrix may interfere with the arrangement of the hydrogen bonds of PA 6, in turn changing the crystalline structure and impeding the crystallization of PA 6.

Preparation and characterization of a novel fluorinated acrylate resin

The novel fluorinated acrylate resin was successfully prepared by solution polymerization of 2-(perfluoro-(1,1-bis-isopropyl)-2-propenyl)oxyethyl methacrylate (POMA) with butyl acrylate (BA), methyl methacrylate (MMA) and methacrylic acid (MAA) initiated by AIBN in the co-solvents of ethyl acetate, butyl alcohol and toluene. POMA was synthesized from the intermediate perfluoro nonene and 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate as the staring reactants. Films of the novel fluorinated acrylate resin were prepared by coating the resin directly on the clean glass sheet and allowed to dry at room temperature. The characteristics of the film such as hydrophobicity, glass transition temperature and thermal stability were characterized with the contact angle, differential scanning calorimetry and thermo-gravimetric analysis respectively. The structure of the novel fluorinated acrylate resin was investigated by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectrometry. The influences of the fluorine content on the performance of the acrylate resin were studied. Results show that the hydrophobicity, chemical resistance, glass transition temperature and thermal stability of the acrylate resin are improved when the fluorinated monomer is introduced to copolymerize with other monomers. However, the hydrophobicity of the fluorinated acrylate resin is improved slightly via annealing.

Methylacrylic acid/styrene cross-linked with divinylbenzene is a novel pH-sensitive ion exchange resin. Microspheres of this resin were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC).
