Model Theory of Visco-Elastic Properties and Relaxation Spectra of Two Different Interpenetrating Polymer Networks

Dynamic viscoelastic models of the system of two different interpenetrating polymer networks with different topology and type of interactions were used for calculating spectra of relaxation times of the system under consideration. It was shown, that two branches of the relaxation spectrum appear for two models of interpenetrating networks with different components. One of the branches is the branch of the collective motion of double network consisting of two initial interacting networks. Parameters of this branch of relaxation spectrum are defined by both own elastic constants of each of interacting networks and by effective quasi-elastic interactions between two networks. This branch is the low frequency one and is described by broad relaxation time spectrum. The second branch is the high frequency one and characterizes mutual local motions of two interacting networks. The relaxation spectrum of this branch is comparatively narrow and depends on the quasi-elastic constants and mutual friction which is defined by the entanglements of the networks and by its effective rigidity. The second branch does not contain extremely large relaxation times for infinitely large networks.

Equilibrium Phase Diagrams of Interpenetrating Polymer Networks and Liquid Crystals

Summary: Swelling and deswelling of photochemically crosslinked interpenetrating polymer networks in anisotropic solvents were examined. Phase diagrams were established in terms of composition and temperature using two low-molecular-weight nematic liquid crystals, 4-cyano-4-n'-pentylbiphenyl and an eutectic mixture of cyanoparaphenylenes. Networks were formed by ultraviolet curing in the presence of a difunctional monomer and a photoinitiator. Immersion in excess of solvent allowed us to measure the solvent uptake by weight and to determine the size increase by optical microscopy in terms of temperature. We calculated weight and diameter ratios considering the swollen-to-dry network states of the samples.

Mesoporous Polymeric Materials Tailored from Oligoester-Derivatized Interpenetrating Polymer Networks

The utilization of semi-hydrolyzable oligoester-derivatized Interpenetrating Polymer Networks (IPNs) as nanostructured precursors provides a straightforward and effective route to novel (meso)porous networks. In a first stage, different types of poly(D,L-lactide)/poly(methyl methacrylate)-based IPNs were synthesized by resorting to the so-called in situ sequential method. In a second stage, the quantitative hydrolysis of the polyester sub-network afforded porous structures with pore sizes ranging from 10 to 100 nm. The potentialities offered by this versatile approach were discussed, and the porosity of the resulting methacrylic networks was examined by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and thermoporometry using Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC).     

聚氨酯／聚（苯乙烯－甲基丙烯酸甲酯－甲基丙烯酸）互穿聚合物网络的研究

聚氨酯/环氧树脂互穿网络硬质泡沫塑料反应过程和微观结构

聚氨酯／环氧树脂互穿网络(PU／EPIPN)硬泡中异氰酸根的消耗速度较纯PU硬泡高，是由于环氧树脂的固化荆同时也是异氰酸根反应的催化荆。而PU／EP IPN硬泡中环氧基的反应速度和反应程度均较纯EP网络低，归因于互穿网络对基团扩散的阻碍。在互穿网络硬泡形成过程中，存在环氧开环中所新产生的羟基与异氰酸根的反应、大分子多元醇中羟基与环氧基的反应以及异氰酸根与环氧基形成嗯唑烷酮的反应三种形成网络间的化学键的途径。同时由于PU／EPIPN硬泡高度的交联，使得IPN硬泡中两个网络具有良好的相容性。动态力学性能表明所有IPN样品都只有一个玻璃化温度。透射电镜表明IPN样品无明显的相界面。

Novel Shape‐Memory Polymer with Two Transition Temperatures

Summary: This communication describes a novel kind of PMMA‐PEG semi‐interpenetrating network (semi‐IPN) which shows excellent shape‐memory behavior at two transition temperatures, the T_m of the PEG crystal and the T_g of the semi‐IPN. Based on a reversible order‐disorder transition of the crystals below and above the T_m of PEG, and the large difference in storage modulus below and above the T_g of the semi‐IPN, the polymer has a recovery ratio of 91 and 99%, respectively.

Morphology,toughness mechanism,and thermal properties of hyperbranched epoxy modified diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A (DGEBA) interpenetrating polymer networks

New hyperbranched poly(trimellitic anhydride‐triethylene glycol) ester epoxy (HTTE) is synthesized and used to toughen diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A (DGEBA) 4,4′‐diaminodiphenylmethane (DDM) resin system. The effects of content and generation number of HTTE on the performance of the cured systems are studied in detail. The impact strength is improved 2–7 times for HTTE/DGEBA blends compared with that of the unmodified system. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) of fracture surface shows cavitations at center and fibrous yielding phenomenon at edge which indicated that the particle cavitations, shear yield deformation, and in situ toughness mechanism are the main toughening mechanisms. The dynamic mechanical thermal analyzer (DMA) analyses suggest that phase separation occurred as interpenetrating polymer networks (IPNs) for the HTTE/DGEBA amine systems. The IPN maintains transparency and shows higher modulus than the neat epoxy. The glass transition temperature (T_g) decreases to some extent compared with the neat epoxy. The T_g increases with increase in the generation number from first to third of HTTE and the concentrations of hard segment. The HTTE leads to a small decrease in thermal stability with the increasing content from TGA analysis. The thermal stability increases with increase in the generation number from first to third. Moreover, HTTE promotes char formation in the HTTE/DGEBA blends. The increase in thermal properties from first to third generation number is attributed to the increase in the molar mass and intramolecular hydrogen bridges, the increasing interaction of the HTTE/DGEBA IPNs, and the increasing crosslinking density due to the availability of a greater number of end hydroxyl and end epoxide functions.

Morphology development during the polymerization of styrene within a polyurethane network: Investigations by small-angle X-ray and light scattering

Phase separation that takes place during the formation of semi-interpenetrating polymer networks based on crosslinked polyurethane and linear polystyrene was studied by small-angle X-ray scattering and light scattering. The kinetics of the chemical reactions was followed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The occurrence of broad peaks in the X-ray scattering curves was interpreted in terms of distances between the urethane crosslinks. Small modulations on these curves were assigned to sphere-like structures with a diameter of around 5 nm which might be related to the urethane crosslink regions. Small modulations on the light-scattering curves at the beginning of styrene polymerization were assigned to spheres with diameters of around 4.5 μm, which can be related to the polystyrene-rich phase. These modulations disappear with time, which might indicate an increasing polydispersity of the domain sizes. The final morphology was found to depend on the time at which polymerization of styrene is initiated with respect to the time of gelation of polyurethane.     

Interpenetrating polymer networks based on polyurethane and poly(butyl methacrylate): Interrelation between reaction kinetics and microphase structure

The effect of the reaction kinetics on the formation of semi-IPNs based on crosslinked polyurethane and linear poly(butyl methacrylate) of various compositions has been studied. New data are presented concerning the interconnection between the reaction kinetics, gelation and rheokinetics of IPN formation, between kinetics and crosslinking density, microphase structure and degree of microphase separation. It was shown that kinetic factors determine the conditions of microphase separation and formation of microphase structure.     

Effect of Polymer End Group on the Morphology of Polystyrene/Poly(methyl methacrylate) Composite Particles Prepared by the Solvent Evaporation Method

Summary: The effect of polymer end group on the morphology of polystyrene (PS)/poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) composite particles was investigated on the basis of experimental observations and theoretical predictions. Both polymers with potassium persulfate (KPS)-derived hydrophilic end group(s) and 2,2′-azobis(isobutyronitrile) (AIBN)-derived hydrophobic end group(s) were synthesized by emulsifier-free emulsion polymerizations and solution polymerizations, respectively. Composite particles with the same end groups were prepared by release of toluene from PS/PMMA/toluene (1/1/24, w/w/w) droplets dispersed in an aqueous solution of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS). At a low SDS concentration, when the polymers with KPS-derived end group(s) were employed, acornlike particles were formed. On the other hand, when the polymers with AIBN-derived end group(s) were used, particles having a dimple were obtained. The interfacial tensions between toluene solutions of the polymers and SDS aqueous medium were lower for KPS-derived end group(s) than for AIBN-derived end group(s), and the difference was much larger for PS phase than PMMA phase. The predicted morphologies obtained from calculation of the minimum total interfacial free energy using the interfacial tensions agreed well with the experimentally observed morphologies in both cases. Moreover, the morphology of PS/PMMA composite particles with different end groups was also examined.     

Effect of Concentration Gradient on the Morphology Development in Polymer Solutions Undergoing Thermally Induced Phase Separation

Anisotropic porous polymeric materials fabricated from the phase separation method via spinodal decomposition are used in various practical engineering applications. We studied the formation of anisotropic porous polymeric materials numerically, by imposing an initial linear concentration gradient across a model polymer solution. The initial concentration gradient is placed at three different regions of the polymer sample for comparison purposes. All the simulation results are in good agreement with published experimental observations, which are reported from the applications of porous polymeric membranes. The structure development shows that an anisotropic porous morphology forms when an initial linear concentration gradient is applied to the model polymer solution.
