Effects of ultrasonic treatment on unfilled butadiene rubber

The ultrasonic treatment of unfilled butadiene rubber (BR) gum with a grooved‐barrel ultrasonic reactor was carried out, leading to changes in the structure and physical properties. The ultrasonic treatment of BR gum led to gel formation, with the amount dependent on the amplitude. The rheological and mechanical properties of the ultrasonically treated samples and their vulcanizates were measured and compared with those of the virgin samples. Gel permeation chromatography measurements of the sol part of the virgin and the treated samples were carried out. Rheological property and molecular weight measurements indicated the creation of a branched structure and the occurrence of degradation in ultrasonically treated BR gum. Because of degradation, the tensile strength and Young's modulus of treated BR were lower than those of untreated BR, whereas the elongation at break was practically intact. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) curves at a high‐temperature range showed exothermic peaks with enthalpy reduction in the treated BR, indicating a decrease in the number of double bonds due to gel formation. DSC curves at a low‐temperature range indicated increased crystallinity in the treated samples. Competing reactions of gel formation, branching, and degradation occurred during the ultrasonic treatment. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Polym Sci Part B: Polym Phys 41: 2959–2968, 2003     

Biodegradable aliphatic polyesters. Part II. Synthesis and characterization of chain extended poly(butylene succinate-co-butylene adipate)

Poly(butylene succinate-co-butylene adipate) was obtained from 1,4-butanediol and dimethyl esters of succinic and adipic acids through a two step process of transesterification and polycondensation. High molecular weight polyesters were synthesized using hexamethylene diisocyanate as chain extender. The effect of chain extension reaction time and chain extender content on polyester molecular weight, thermal and mechanical properties, was investigated. Polyesters were characterized by means of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, gel permeation chromatography (GPC), viscosity measurements, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and mechanical property measurements. Chain extension reaction had as a result the significant increase of polyester molecular weight leading to increased tensile strength. Polyester crystallinity, as calculated from XRD and DSC analysis, and melting temperature decreased upon chain extension, while glass transition temperature increased. Polyester biodegradation was investigated by soil burial and enzymatic hydrolysis using the enzyme Pseudomonas fluorescens cholesterol esterase. It appears that biodegradation was affected by polyester crystallinity, rather than by its molecular weight.     

Hydroxyapatite as a Potential Nanofiller in Technologically Useful Chlorinated Acrylonitrile Butadiene Rubber

This paper investigates the effect of hydroxyapatite nanoparticles (HA) on the cure characteristics, tensile and tear strength, elongation at break, hardness, abrasion resistance, heat build-up, resilience, glass transition temperature, oil resistance, alternating current (AC) conductivity and transport properties of chlorinated nitrile rubber (Cl-NBR). The maximum and minimum torque values were increased whereas the cure time values were decreased with the HA content in the Cl-NBR. The uniform dispersion of HA in Cl-NBR was obtained from scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) showed the increased glass transition temperature of Cl-NBR with the addition of HA particles. Mechanical properties, conductivity and oil resistance of the composites were greatly increased with the loading of hydroxyapatite. Diffusion results were explained in terms of the loading of nanoparticles and size of the penetrant molecules. Arrhenius and thermodynamic parameters for the diffusion process have been estimated and an anomalous diffusion mechanism was observed.     

Thermal analysis of the influence of water content on glass transitions

Starch is an important natural substance in which the water content has a significant influence on its structure and properties. In the present study, the effect of the water content on glass transition temperatures T _g and heat capacities C _p of wheat, maize and potato starches were investigated by high-sensitivity differential scanning calorimetry (temperature modulated TMDSC and conventional DSC). Thermal analysis measurements were performed on starch samples with different water contents. The exact water mass percentage of each sample was determined using the Karl-Fischer method. The obtained results show that the water content does influence the starch thermal properties in a systematic and measurable trend, the higher the water% the lower the glass transition temperature, and the higher the heat capacity jump during gelatinisation. At this stage possible interpretations of the results are just put forward and should be confirmed through complementary measurements.     

Effect of Colloidal Dispersion of Clay on Some Properties of Wool Fiber

This work was carried out to characterize the changes induced on wool fiber by clay treatment. Technical measurements were studied including Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermal degradation analysis (TGA), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), moisture regain measurement (MRM), and tensile strength test (TST). The intensity of major peaks in FTIR spectra of the clay treated sample is in favor of chemical changes of the polypeptide functional groups. DSC results indicated that clay treatment of wool enhances heat and thermal barrier properties of fiber. TGA results stated lower thermal degradation of clay treated wool compared with untreated one. One of the main advantages of clay application on wool could be its positive effect on the moisture absorption of wool.     

Molecular aggregation of solid aromatic polymers. II. Mechanical properties of aromatic polyimide film

Molecular aggregation of the aromatic polyimide poly(4,4′-oxydiphenylene-pyromellitimide) is influenced by the initial imidization temperature and by cold drawing. The effect of molecular aggregation in polyimides on their mechanical properties has been investigated. The density of a polyimide in which molecular aggregation gives an amorphous state is increased slightly by cold drawing. On the other hand, if molecular aggregation leads to a heterogeneous two-phase structure, the density is decreased by cold drawing. With increasing initial imidization temperature, the α absorption peak in dynamic tensile measurements becomes broader and smaller, and shifts to a higher temperature. From analysis of correlations between molecular aggregation and mechanical properties, it is concluded that the mode of molecular motion corresponding to the α dispersion in polyimide is a long-range cooperative motion of the main chain which is associated with the glass transition.     

Effect of Compatibilizer and Nucleation Agent on the Properties of Poly(lactic acid)/Polycarbonate (PLA/PC) Blends

Poly(lactic acid) (PLA) and polycarbonate (PC) blends were prepared by melt processing with a twin-screw extruder. Ethylene-maleic anhydride-glycidyl methacrylate terpolymer (EMG) as compatibilizer and talc as nucleation agent were added in PLA/PC blends. The effect of EMG and talc on the mechanical properties including tensile, flexural, Izod notched impact properties and heat deflection temperature (HDT) of PLA/PC blends were investigated. The morphologies were observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The crystalline behavior of PLA/PC blends was analyzed by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The nanoscale mechanical properties of PLA/PC blends were investigated by atomic force microscope (AFM). The results showed that the addition of EMG and talc simultaneously with annealing treatment is the most effective process.     

Graphene oxide improved thermal and mechanical properties of electrospun methyl stearate/polyacrylonitrile form-stable phase change composite nanofibers

In the present work, a novel PAN-based form-stable composite phase change materials with the methyl stearate (MES) encapsulated in the supporting matrices of polyacrylonitrile (PAN) nanofibers were fabricated through electrospunning for the storage and retrieval of thermal energy. Influences of graphene oxide (GO) addition on the chemical properties, structural morphologies, mechanical properties, thermal energy storage properties, thermal stability, and thermal energy storage/retrieval rates of electrospun MES/PAN/GO phase change composite nanofibers were systematically investigated by FT-IR, FE-SEM, tensile testing, DSC, TG, and measurement of melting/freezing times, respectively. The results revealed that the incorporation of GO effectively enhanced the mechanical properties, thermal stability, as well as heat storage and release rates of the phase change composite nanofibers. The averaged tensile strength of electrospun MES/PAN/GO phase change composite nanofibers increased significantly by 573 % with 10 mass% loading of GO, while elongation at break had a maximum 107 % increment when adding 3 mass% of GO. The DSC results indicated that the electrospun PAN-based phase change composite nanofibers with various GO loadings had suitable phase transition temperatures with the latent heat ranging from about 92 to 109 kJ kg^?1 and exhibited good thermal reliability in terms of DSC measurements during 50 melting-freezing cycles. Moreover, the melting and freezing time were significantly decreased about 44 and 43 % for the MES/PAN/GO5, as well as 59 and 64 % for the MES/PAN/GO10 after introducing the GO into the composite nanofibers systems.     

Investigation of the boron nitride/polybenzoxazine interphase

The influence of a hexagonal boron nitride powder surface on the polymerization of a benzoxazine monomer is examined by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). By varying the thickness of the benzoxazine coatings on boron nitride particles, a distinct influence of the surface substrate on the polymerization reaction could be observed. At a coating thickness calculated to be on the order of a monolayer, the heat of reaction is reduced, while the exothermic peak temperature and peak width at half height are increased relative to that of the neat resin values. The reduced heat of reaction and increased exothermic peak temperature indicate that the boron nitride surface is inhibiting the benzoxazine polymerization reaction. In the intermediate coating thickness region, the heat of reaction increases and the exothermic peak temperature and peak width at half height decrease with increasing coating thickness. With even thicker coatings, the heat of reaction and exothermic peak temperature and peak width at half height reach values corresponding to that of the neat resin and no longer change with thickness. In addition, the influence of surface treated boron nitride particles on the thermal polymerization behavior, as well as the effect of the surface treatment on the viscosity, dynamic mechanical properties, and flexural properties of the filled composites are also investigated. © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Behavior of acid species during heat treatment and re-anodizing of porous alumina films formed in malonic acid

In the present work infrared spectroscopy, photoluminescence spectral measurements and the potenthiodynamic technique for studying the effect of treatment temperature on compositional and electronic properties of malonic acid alumina films were used. In the course of our studies, it has been proven that heat treatment of malonic acid films at temperatures from 250 up to 400 °C leads to considerable changes in the photoluminescence properties and voltammetric response during their potentiodynamic re-anodizing. We suggest that defects, such as electron traps, in this type of porous anodic films are caused by the atoms of hydrogen (one or two) escaping from the CH₂ groups of the malonic acid species as a result of the heat treatment. The sites of such defects provide pathways for easy electron migration under a high electric field increasing electroconductivity of anodic alumina films. On the contrary, no structural defects responsible for enhanced electroconductivity are observed during thermal splitting of oxalate groups in the oxalic acid alumina films.     

Crystallization,Mechanical and Flame-retardant Properties of Poly(lactic acid) Composites with DOPO and DOPO-POSS

Poly(lactic acid)(PLA) composites with 9,10-dihydro-9-oxa-10-phosphaphenanthrene-10-oxide(DOPO) and DOPOcontaining polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane(DOPO-POSS) were prepared via melting extrusion and injection molding. The crystallization, mechanical, and flame-retardant properties of PLA/DOPO and PLA/DOPO-POSS were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry(DSC), X-ray diffraction(XRD), tensile testing, thermogravimetric analysis(TGA), limiting oxygen index(LOI),and cone calorimeter test. The DSC results showed that the DOPO added could act as a plasticizer as reflected by lower glass transition temperature and inhibited crystallization of part of the PLA; the DOPO-POSS acted like a filler in the PLA matrix and slightly improved the crystallinity of the PLA matrix. The XRD and DSC analyses indicated that the PLA composites by cold molding injection were amorphous, and the PLA composites following a heat treatment in an oven at 120 °C for 30 min achieved crystallinity. All the PLA and its composites after heat treatment had improved mechanical properties. The thermogravimetric analysis(TGA) tests showed that the PLA,DOPO and DOPO-POSS decomposed separately in the PLA/DOPO and PLA/DOPO-POSS, respectively. The cone calorimeter tests offered clear evidence that addition of the DOPO-POSS resulted in an evident reduction of 25% for the peak of heat release rate(p-HRR).It was also confirmed that the crystalline flame-retardant PLA composites after heat treatment had better flame retardant properties than the amorphous PLA composites prepared by the cold molding.     

Polyurethane elastomers with hydrolytic and thermooxidative stability. II. Polyurethanes with n-alkylated polyurethane soft blocks

Block copolyurethanes with N-alkylated polyurethanes as nonself-associating soft segments are prepared. The polymers compare well in hydrolytic stability with block copoly(N-alkylamide urethane)s prepared in an earlier study but have better dimensional stability on exposure to moist heat. They show comparable hydrolytic stability and better oxidative stability than a poly(ether urethane) from the earlier study. The effect of different alkyl substituents on tensile properties and thermostability is studied. The tensile properties are also examined as a function of soft-segment molecular weight at constant weight-percent of hard-block. It is shown that yield stress and ultimate stress increase and elongations decrease as the soft-block M?_n increases. DSC measurements do not generally show well defined endotherms with few exceptions but dynamic mechanical testing of some samples does show transitions between 14 and 23°C.     

Measurements of temperature and heat of phase transformation of pure silicon by using differential scanning calorimetry

Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) technique has been applied for the experimental determination of temperature and heat of phase transition of pure silicon (7 N) during heating and cooling cycles at the rate of 10 K min^?1. The measurements were carried out in the temperature range of 25–1450 °C in a flow gas atmosphere (Ar, 99.9992%) using three types of crucibles made of alumina, h-BN and alumina covered with h-BN coating. The following characteristics were estimated from DSC curves: melting point of silicon—1414 °C, the heat of fusion—1826 J g^?1 and the heat of solidification—1654 J g^?1. It was found that the silicon evaporation phenomenon accompanying the tests had no effect on the measurements of temperature during solid-to-liquid and liquid-to-solid transformations and on the measurement of the latent heat of fusion. The effect of crucible type on the DSC measurements is discussed.

     

General Theory of Steady State of tm-DSC and its Application to Complex Heat Capacity Measurements

For complex heat capacity measurements, steady state of various types of temperature modulated DSC is theoretically investigated by a set of common comprehensive fundamental equations of heat balance. Heat capacities of heat paths, heat loss to the environment and mutual heat exchange between the sample and the reference material are taken into accounts together with thermal contact effect between the cell and its holder plate. Rigorous and general solutions have been obtained, and useful relations for complex heat capacity measurements have been derived for each type of DSC. They are compared with each other to elucidate unique features of each type of DSC.This revised version was published online in November 2005 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

A combined photoacoustic DSC for simultaneous temperature modulated measurements: does it really work?

Combination of two techniques, photoacoustic (PA) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), is a combination of quasi stationary thermodynamic DSC method and nonstationary dynamic PA method. Especially favorable and easy to realize is the combination with power compensated type of DSC. It has several advantages over the use of two techniques separately and allow to perform measurements simultaneously. The most obvious is simultaneous determination of thermodynamic properties such as specific heat, heat of transition and dynamic properties such as effusivity, thermal conductivity at the different phase transitions and complex specific heat at the glass transition. Unlike other temperature modulated techniques PA–DSC is especially suitable for studying polymer materials since their low thermal conductivity is an additional advantage. Conditions for simultaneous measurements are examined. It is proved that the combination of two techniques and necessary changes in construction do not essentially change adequate work of the instrument. A little disbalance of DSC operation due to the construction change can be corrected simply by recalibration. The procedures for testing and calibration for the proper operation of the combined PA–DSC are given together with some details of experimental methodology. Several measurements could serve as examples of widespread applicability of PA–DSC to study different types of phase transitions as well as time dependent processes such as glass transition.     

高醚化三聚氰胺甲醛树脂交联水性聚氨酯的制备与表征

合成了高醚化三聚氰胺甲醛树脂(HMMM)交联改性含聚乙二醇单甲醚(Ymer N120)亲水基团的阴离子型水性聚氨酯。 通过全反射红外(ATR-FTIR)、差示扫描量热仪(DSC)、电子拉力机等技术手段表征了改性后的水性聚氨酯胶膜结构、热性能和力学性能。 结果表明,随着HMMM质量分数的增加,聚氨酯胶膜中氢键相互作用减弱,胶膜耐热性、耐水性、拉伸强度、粘接性均有所提高;当HMMM为8%时,聚氨酯胶膜的拉伸强度增加了125%,T-型剥离强度增加了7.4 N/cm,硬段最大热分解速率对应温度增加了38 ℃。 此外,交联水性聚氨酯胶膜的耐水性也得到了很大程度的提高。     

DSC study of the influence of <Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>-subtituted diphenyl amines on the thermooxidative stability of styrene-butadiene rubber

Effect of several p- and p,p′-substituted diphenyl amines on the thermooxidative stability of styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) has been studied using non-isothermal DSC measurements with the aim of exploring the relation between the structure of the compound and its antioxidative performance. The treatment of the experimental data was carried out by applying a new method based on a non-Arrhenian temperature function. In order to compare the stabilizing effect of the compounds, protection factors have been calculated from the oxidation induction times. The results achieved document that some functional groups in substituted diphenyl amines modify greatly the antioxidative performance. The groups having a positive mesomeric effect increase dramatically the antioxidant efficiency; the highest increase exhibited the nitroso group. On the other hand, the nitro group with the negative mesomeric effect is responsible for the loss of antioxidative properties. In general, the protection factors of the compounds depend on temperature.     

Study on thermal properties of polyurethane nanocomposites based on organo-sepiolite

The effects of sepiolite modified with γ-aminopropyltriethoxylsilane (KH550-Sp) on thermal properties of polyurethane (PU) nanocomposites were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetric analysis (TG), attenuated total reflectance-Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR), and tensile test. The DSC results showed that the glass transition temperature of hard segments in PU/KH550-Sp nanocomposite increased with the increase of KH550-Sp, because sepiolite restricted the formation of hydrogen bonding within hard segments of polyurethane. TG results revealed that the thermal stability of PU was improved by KH550-Sp, and the onset decomposition temperature for PU nanocomposites with a KH550-Sp content of 3 wt% was about 20 °C higher than that for pure PU. The tensile properties of pure PU and nanocomposites before and after ageing 120 °C for 72 h were determined, and it was observed that the percentage loss in tensile strength decreased with the addition of KH550-Sp because of an oxidation barrier of KH550-Sp confirmed by ATR-FTIR.
