Kinetics and Mechanism of the Late Stage of Microphase Separation Induced by Curing

A phase separation in an epoxy resin–oligomeric additive system induced by curing proceeded by a mechanism of anionic polymerization was studied by the optical microscopy. Changes in the morphological structure of the reaction system in the course of its curing were in situregistered. It was shown that the intensity of particle coalescence in a segregating phase at the late stage of phase separation and, consequently, morphology of a two-phase polymer thus formed depend on the chemical mechanism and conditions of curing; i.e., on the initial mixture composition and reaction temperature.

Epoxy/poly(benzyl methacrylate) blends: miscibility, phase separation on curing and morphology

Diglycidyl ether of bisfenol-A (DGEBA)/polybenzyl methacrylate (PBzMA) blends cured with 4,4’-diaminodiphenylmethane (DDM) were studied. Miscibility, phase separation, cure kinetics and morphology were investigated through differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Non-reactive DGEBA/PBzMA blends are miscible over the whole composition range. The addition of PBzMA to the reactive (DGEBA+DDM) mixture slows down the curing rate, although the reaction mechanism remains autocatalytic. On curing, initially miscible (DGEBA+DDM)/PBzMA blends phase separate, arising two glass transition temperatures that correspond to a PBzMA-rich phase and to epoxy network. Cured epoxy/PBzMA blends present different morphologies as a function of the PBzMA content.     

多壁碳纳米管对环氧树脂/聚醚酰亚胺体系相分离的影响

通过溶液混合的方法制备了环氧树脂/聚醚酰亚胺(PEI)/多壁碳纳米管(MWCNTs)三元复合物,并使用扫描电镜(SEM)、原位红外分析(FTIR)、流变测试和非等温DSC等手段研究了MWCNTs的存在对体系相分离形貌和固化反应的影响.扫描电镜的结果显示,在固化后的样品中MWCNTs较均匀地分散在两相中.150℃下固化,不含MWCNTs和MWCNTs含量为0.75 pbw的体系相分离形貌呈海岛状结构,而进一步增大MWCNTs含量后相分离形貌呈双连续结构,且相区尺寸随MWCNTs含量的增加而减小.120℃下固化,不含MWCNTs和MWCNTs含量为0.75 pbw的体系相分离形貌呈双连续结构,而进一步增大MWCNTs含量后,体系相分离形貌呈相反转结构.FTIR和DSC的测试结果表明,MWCNTs表面的羟基对环氧树脂的固化反应起到催化作用,使得固化反应速度加快,反应活化能降低.而流变测试的结果表明,随着MWCNTs含量增加,一方面交叉跨越多个相区的碳纳米管使得体系黏度增大,对相分离起到了一定的抑制作用;另一方面使得体系凝胶化时间提前,导致体系相分离形貌被固定在相分离的较早阶段,起到有效调控相分离形貌的作用.     

Curing kinetics and morphology of IPNs from a flexible dimethacrylate and a rigid epoxy via sequential photo and thermal polymerization

The curing kinetics and morphology of Interpenetrating polymer networks (IPNs) formed from a rigid epoxy resin thermally cured by an anhydride, and a photocured flexible dimethacrylate resin, have been studied by temperature ramping differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), near-infrared (NIR), and dynamic mechanical thermal analyzer (DMTA). This combination of cross-linkable resins permits the partial or complete cure of each component independent of the other. Also, since the monomers are polar but chemically dissimilar thermosetting resins, their IPNs should offer considerable variation in properties. DSC studies showed that the possible interactions between each component in the IPN could be minimized, but that the curing rate and conversion of the second polymerizing component was affected by vitrification, network topology, or phase separation in the IPN. NIR was also used to confirm that virtually independent cure was achievable by the combination of the thermal and photochemical methods. Dynamical mechanical thermal analysis was used to investigate the effect of curing one or both components and of order of curing on the phase morphology of the IPN. The modulus in the rubbery region also provided information on loop formation and co-continuity of each network component through the polymer matrix. The modulus and tan δ curves showed large differences in the glass transition region of the IPNs with different curing schedules, however phase separation occurred in all fully cured IPNs. These observations conflict with a previously advanced hypothesis that rapid polymerization and gelation of the last-cured component interlocks the two networks into a single phase structure and leads to the inclusion of a caveat that the components require sufficient attraction for interlocking of the networks to occur.     

非等温法研究TGDDM/DDS体系固化反应动力学

采用DSC对4,4′-四缩水甘油基二氨基二苯基甲烷(TGDDM)和3,3′-二氨基二苯基砜(DDS)体系的固化反应动力学进行了研究.分别通过n级反应法和Malek的最大概然机理函数法确定了固化反应机理函数,求解了固化反应动力学参数,得到了固化反应动力学模型.结果表明,通过Kissinger,Crane方法求解动力学参数所得到的n级反应模型与实验值差别较大;而采用Malek方法判别机理,表明该固化反应按照自催化反应机理进行,实验得到的DSC曲线与模型计算所得到的曲线吻合的较好,所确立的模型在5~20K/min的升温速率下能较好地描述TGDDM/DDS体系的固化反应过程,并为工艺参数的选择和工艺窗口的优化提供了理论依据.     

Cure kinetics of liquid crystalline epoxy resins based on biphenyl mesogen

The cure kinetics of a biphenyl-based liquid crystalline (LC) epoxy resin (LCER) was studied using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and polarized optical microscopy. The effects of LC phase formation on the cure kinetics were investigated. Both a model-free isoconversional method and a model-fitting method were used to analyze the DSC data. Results from the isoconversional analysis were applied to develop tentative multi-step kinetic models describing the curing reaction. Kinetic analysis showed that compared to the resins cured in amorphous phase, LCERs exhibited higher values of reaction enthalpy and a complex dependence of activation energy on the degree of cure. The formation of the LC phase resulted in a decrease in activation energy, leading to higher degree of reaction.     

Guide for Authors

The effects of epoxidized natural rubber (ENR) on the curing behaviors and adhesive strengths of an epoxy (diglycidyl ether of bisphenol-A) and dicyandiamide/2-methyl imidazole system are studied with differential thermal calorimetry (DSC), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and Instron tensile testing instrument. From DSC analyses of specimens prepared with unsealed aluminum pans, it is obtained that the reaction exotherm, the time to maximal curing rate, the glass transition temperature, the rate constant, and the reaction order of the epoxy system change with respect to the content of ENR added because of the reaction of ENR with the epoxy system. The results obtained from SEM micrographs indicate that the particle size of the rubber phase increases with increasing the curing temperature and the ENR content. The volume fraction of the separated rubber phase also follows the similar trend except at the high curing temperature which implying that the dissolution of epoxy resin in the ENR phase also depends on the curing temperature and the amount of ENR present. The lap shear strengths of specimens prepared with etched aluminum substrates increase with increasing the curing temperature because of a better cure at a higher temperature, but decrease with increasing the ENR content resulting from an adverse effect of ENR on the mechanical properties of the cured resins.

Cure kinetics of epoxy resin-natural zeolite composites

The cure kinetics of epoxy resin and epoxy resin containing 10 mass% of natural zeolite were investigated using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The conformity of the cure kinetic data of epoxy and epoxy-zeolite system was checked with the auto-catalytic cure rate model. The results indicated that the hydroxyl group on the zeolite surface played a significant role in the autocatalytic reaction mechanism. This group was able to form a new transition state between anhydride hardener and epoxide group. The natural zeolite particles acted as catalyst for the epoxy system by promoting its curing rate.     

High melting thermoplastic/epoxy resin blends: Influence of the curing reaction on the crystallization and melting behavior

The influence of the cure process and the resulting reaction‐induced phase separation (RIPS) on the crystallization and melting behavior of polyoxymethylene (POM) in epoxy resin diglycidylether of bisphenol A (DGEBA) blends has been studied at different cure temperatures (180 and 145 °C). The crystallization and melting behavior of POM was studied with DSC and the simultaneous blend morphology changes were studied using OM. At first, the influence of the epoxy monomer on the dynamically crystallized POM was investigated. Secondly, a cure temperature above the melting point of POM (T_cure = 180 °C) was applied for blends with curing agent to study the influence of resulting phase morphology types on the crystallization behavior of POM in the epoxy blends. Large differences between particle/matrix and phase‐inverted structures have been observed. Thirdly, the cure temperature was lowered below the melting temperature of POM, inducing isothermal crystallization prior to RIPS. As a consequence, a distinction was made between dynamically and isothermally crystallized POM. Concerning the dynamically crystallized material, a clear difference could be made between the material crystallized in the homogeneous sample and that crystallized in the phase‐separated structures. The isothermally crystallized POM was to a large extent influenced by the conversion degree of the epoxy resin. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Polym Sci Part B: Polym Phys 45: 2456–2469, 2007     

Phase separation,porous structure,and cure kinetics in aliphatic epoxy resin containing hyperbranched polyester

Thermosetting blends of an aliphatic epoxy resin and a hydroxyl‐functionalized hyperbranched polymer (HBP), aliphatic hyperbranched polyester Boltorn H40, were prepared using 4,4′‐diaminodiphenylmethane (DDM) as the curing agent. The phase behavior and morphology of the DDM‐cured epoxy/HBP blends with HBP content up to 40 wt % were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The cured epoxy/HBP blends are immiscible and exhibit two separate glass transitions, as revealed by DMA. The SEM observation showed that there exist two phases in the cured blends, which is an epoxy‐rich phase and an HBP‐rich phase, which is responsible for the two separate glass transitions. The phase morphology was observed to be dependent on the blend composition. For the blends with HBP content up to 10 wt %, discrete HBP domains are dispersed in the continuous cured epoxy matrix, whereas the cured blend with 40 wt % HBP exhibits a combined morphology of connected globules and bicontinuous phase structure. Porous epoxy thermosets with continuous open structures on the order of 100–300 nm were formed after the HBP‐rich phase was extracted with solvent from the cured blend with 40 wt % HBP. The DSC study showed that the curing rate is not obviously affected in the epoxy/HBP blends with HBP content up to 40 wt %. The activation energy values obtained are not remarkably changed in the blends; the addition of HBP to epoxy resin thus does not change the mechanism of cure reaction of epoxy resin with DDM. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Cure process and reaction-induced phase separation in a diepoxy–diamine/PMMA blend. Monitoring by steady-state fluorescence and FT-IR (near and medium range)

Poly(methyl methacrylate), PMMA, was chosen as an additive for an epoxy system based on the cured product of (a) diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A labeled with 5-dimethylaminonaphthalene-1-(2-aminoethyl) sulfonamide and (b) 1,5-diamino-2-methylpentane. Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy (near, FT-NIR, and medium, FT-MIR, ranges) and steady-state fluorescence spectroscopy were used to monitor the epoxy cure reaction and the induced phase separation. The PMMA seems to exert a change in the mechanism of the epoxy cure reaction by means of a slight enhancement of the secondary amino group reactivity. It has been demonstrated that following the fluorescence response of the dansyl chromophore chemically bonded to the epoxy component is a way to monitor the cure process in a general sense, not only accounting for the chemical changes but also being additionally possible to detect the reaction-induced phase separation at a molecular scale. The fluorescence results, in terms of the first moment of the emission band, point out that the dilution effect is affecting the physicochemical changes of the modified epoxy system quite more exclusively than the chemical changes. Finally, a semiempirical model to explain the behavior of the dansyl fluorescence during the curing of a PMMA/diepoxy–diamine blend showing a reaction-induced phase separation has been proposed. The proposed model allows estimating the composition of the phases after nearly complete cure.

Morphologic and kinetic study of an epoxy-poly(ethyleneoxide) system. The fluorescence to predict miscibility

The kinetic of the curing process in the ethylenediamine (EDA)-poly (bisphenol A-co-epichlorohydrin) glycidyl end-capped (DGEBA) mixture modified with poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) was studied. The epoxy component was labeled with a fluorescence group (dansyl) treating the DGEBA with the reactive dansyl derivative DNS-EDA. Dynamic DSC experiments were carried out and from their results the effect of the PEO composition on the epoxy curing was discussed. Furthermore, the effect of cure temperature and PEO composition on the morphology and crystallinity of the blend were studied as well. The morphologic study was carried out using complementarily optical transmission (TOM) and epifluorescence (EFM) microscopy. It was observed that: i) the addition of a non-reactive thermoplastic leads to a dilution effect of the reactive groups and therefore a decrease of the epoxy amine reaction rate; ii) the PEO composition does not seem to affect the non catalyzed process of the epoxy curing, while an increase in the PEO fraction within the epoxy/PEO mixture seems to change the mechanism of the cure reaction; iii) dynamic DSC scans, TOM and EFM images and steady state fluorescence spectra of the cured samples suggest that when the curing temperature increases there is an increase in the miscibility between PEO and the epoxy-amine reaction mixture; and iv) a reduction in the PEO/cured epoxy miscibility as the fraction of PEO increases was observed.

Evolution of structure and properties of a liquid crystalline epoxy during curing

The evolution of structure, and thermal and dynamic mechanical properties of a liquid crystalline epoxy during curing has been studied with differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), polarized optical microscopy, x-ray scattering, and dynamic mechanical analysis. The liquid crystalline epoxy was the diglycidyl ether of 4,4′-dihydroxy-α-methylstilbene (DGEDHMS). Two curing agents were used in this study: a di-functional amine, the aniline adduct of DGEDHMS, and a tetra-functional sulfonamido amine, sulfanilamide. The effects of curing agent, cure time, and cure temperature have been investigated. Isothermal curing of the liquid crystalline epoxy with the di-functional amine and the tetra-functional sulfonamido amine causes an increase in the mesophase stability of the liquid crystalline epoxy resin. The curing also leads to various liquid crystalline textures, depending on the curing agent and cure temperature. These textures coarsen during the isothermal curing. Moreover, curing with both curing agents results in a layered structure with mesogenic units aligned perpendicular to the layer surfaces. The layer thickness decreases with cure temperature for the systems cured with the tetra-functional curing agent. The glass transition temperature of the cured networks rises with increasing cure temperature due to the increased crosslink density. The shear modulus of the cured networks shows a strong temperature dependence. However, it does not change appreciably with cure temperature. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
