Abstract The thermal decomposition and the glass transition temperatures of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) and poly(isobutyl methacrylate) (PiBuMA) were studied with a differential scanning calorimeter (DSC). The undecomposed and decomposed polymers were analyzed by gel permeation chromatography (GPC) for molecular weight distributions and by DSC for changes in the thermal properties and glass transition temperatures, T. In the isothermal decomposition of PMMA and PiBuMA, depolymerization reactions exclusively are operative. During low temperature decompositions, longer PMMA chains depolymerize first. These are followed by the shorter chains. In the case of PiBuMA, the shorter chains depolymerize first. Some of these undergo chain recombinations to yield very high molecular weight products. For identical values of weight loss, the respective decomposition temperatures for PiBuMA are 40 to 70 K lower than those for PMMA. The activation energies of decomposition (42 kJ/mol for PMMA and 67 kJ/mol for PiBuMA) have been found to be lower than those reported in the literature. Although Tg∞ of PiBuMA (331 K) agrees well with the literature value (326 K), Tg∞ of atactic PMMA (394 K) is higher than the reported value (378 K). 相似文献
We report that lithium salts in lithium-ion batteries effectively modify the physical properties of poly (methyl methacrylate) (PMMA). The glass transition temperature (Tg) is an indicator of the heat resistance of amorphous polymers. The anionic species of the salts strongly affected the glass transition behavior of PMMA. We focused on the additive effects of various lithium salts, such as LiCF3SO3, LiCOOCF3, LiClO4, and LiBr, on the Tg of PMMA. The large anions of the former three salts caused them to form macroscopic aggregates that acted as fillers in the PMMA matrix and to combine the PMMA domains, increasing Tg. On the other hand, LiBr salts dispersed microscopically in the PMMA matrix at the molecular scale, leading to the linking of the PMMA chains. Thus, the addition of LiBr to PMMA increased Tg as well as the relaxation time in the range of glass to rubber transition. 相似文献
Using aromatic bis(4-bromophenyl) ether and various aromatic diamines as the monomers, a series of novel poly(amine ether)s (PAEs) have been synthesized via palladium-catalyzed aryl amination, which is the Hartwig-Buchwald polycondensation reaction. Their structures were characterized by means of elemental analysis, FT-IR, 1^H NMR and UV-Vis spectroscopy. The results show a good agreement with the proposed structures. Their general properties were studied by DSC and TG and it's obvious that they show high glass transition temperatures (Tg〉200 ℃), good thermal stability with high decomposition temperatures (TD〉500℃) and excellent solubility. The mechanical behavior of these polymers suggested that they could be considered a new class of high-performance polymers. 相似文献
Copolymers of 4-cinnmoylphenyl methacrylate (CPMA) with glycidyl methacrylate were synthesized in methyl ethyl ketone solution using benzoyl peroxide as initiator at 70 ± 1°C. They were characterized by UV, IR, 1H-NMR, and 13C-NMR spectra. Their compositions were determined by 1H-NMR technique. The monomer reactivity ratios were determined by the Fineman-Ross and Kelen-Tüdös methods. The molecular weights ([Mbar]w and [Mbar]n) of the polymers were determined by GPC technique. Thermogravimetric analysis of the copolymers were carried out in air. The Tg of the polymers were determined by differential scanning calorimetry. The photocrosslinking properties of the homo and copolymers were also discussed. 相似文献
Abstract In the present work, a strategy was developed to use mild and highly selective enzymatic methods to covalently couple the primary hydroxyl group of vitamin C with methyl methacrylate monomer, followed by a second enzymatic reaction catalyzed by horseradish peroxidase to polymerize the vinyl monomer yielding a vitamin C functionalized poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA). Vitamin C, L‐ascorbyl methylmethacrylate and PMMA, when used at concentrations up to 133 µM, fully scavenged 2,2‐diphenyl‐1‐picryl hydrazyl free radicals (0.2 mM). Thus, the formation of vinyl polymers with active pendent antioxidant compounds, in this case vitamin C, retained an ability to scavenge radicals while in polymeric form. The functionalized antioxidant on a PMMA backbone has implications for consumer‐related applications like foods, pharmaceuticals, and personal care products. 相似文献
Sorption and dilation isotherms for argon in poly(ethyl methacrylate) (PEMA) are reported for pressures up to 50 atm over the temperature range 5–85°C. At temperatures below the glass transition (Tg=61°C), sorption isotherms are well described by the dual-mode sorption model; and isotherms above Tg follow Henry's law. However, isotherms for dilation due to sorption are linear in pressure at all temperatures over the range investigated. Partial molar volumes of Ar in PEMA are obtained from these isotherms. The volumes are approximately constant above Tg (about 40 cm3/mol), whereas the volumes below Tg are smaller and dependent on both temperature and concentration (19–26 cm3/mol). By analyzing the experimental data according to the dual-mode sorption and dilation model, the volume occupied by a dissolved Ar molecule and the mean size of microvoid in the glass are estimated to be 67 129 Å3, respectively. The cohesive energy density of the polymer is also estimated as 61 cal/cm3 from the temperature dependence of the dual-mode parameters. 相似文献
The synthesis of poly(methylene sebacate) was carried out via the reaction of cesium sebacate with bromochloromethane in N-methylpyrrolidone over a range of temperatures (55–130°C). A number of polymers having limiting viscosity numbers in the range of 0.29–0.94 dL g?1 (CHCl3; 25°C) were characterized by elemental analyses, 1H- and 13C-NMR, DSC, and GPC techniques. The polymerization was found to be very rapid at 100°C, being complete in ca. 15 min. and was relatively insensitive to the stoichiometric ratio of the monomers. As high molecular weight polymers were produced without the quantitative conversion of the reactants, the polymerization is considered to be occurring by an interfacial mechanism. 相似文献
Poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) nanocomposites containing (methacryloxy)propyl polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (methacryl‐POSS) were prepared by bulk‐polymerization process. The structures of the products were characterized by FTIR, solid‐state NMR, TEM, XRD, DSC, TGA, XPS and UV‐Vis spectra. The hybrid materials were found to be largely homogeneous. DSC and TGA results indicate that the thermal properties of PMMA nanocomposites are significantly improved. The glass transition temperature (Tg) and thermal decomposition temperature (Tdec) of the nanocomposites increased by 58 and 110°C, respectively. The bulk hybrid material maintains excellent optical transparency in visible region. 相似文献
A poly(acrylamide) was synthesized from Nα -Boc-N? -acrolyl-l-lysylglycine methyl ester via radical polymerization. This polymer typically had Mn ~ 100,000 g/mol, Mw ~ 300,000 g/mol, and a Tg of 93°C. Removal of Boc with TFA and cyclization with DABCO? in DMSO at 65°C afforded a soluble piperazinedione-containing polymer that had a Tg of 157°C and thermal stability up to 300°C. These results demonstrate a viable and efficient synthetic route to piperazinedione-containing polyacrylamides of high molecular weight. Related polymers that incorporate substituted indane moieties could be useful high Tg materials for fabrication of LC and NLO devices. 相似文献
This study aims at physicochemical properties of thermo‐ and pH/CO2‐responsive cyclic homopolymers. Three examples of cyclic poly(2‐(dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate)s (PDMAs) are synthesized by combining the reversible addition–fragmentation chain transfer process and the Diels–Alder ring‐closure reaction. After cyclization, the glass transition temperature significantly increases (ΔTg = 51.8–59.7 °C) due to the different configurational entropy and end groups, and the maximum decomposition temperature to lose the pendent groups is drastically decreased from 309 to 278 °C. Effects of polymerization degree, polymer concentration, additive of NaCl, and pH/CO2 on lower critical solution temperature behaviors of PDMA aqueous solutions are investigated. The cloud points (Tc) of ring PDMAs are usually higher than their linear precursors, and the ΔTc values obtained under a fixed condition can reach up to 20.7 °C, revealing the crucial role of the topology effect. This study paves the way for unique properties and applications of smart cyclic polymers and their derivatives.
Abstract Polymer electrolytes based on blends of poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) with various stereoisomers of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) were studied by means of impedance spectroscopy and DSC. It was found that isotactic poly(methyl methacrylate) (1PMMA)-based electrolytes exhibit ambient temperature conductivities at least one order of magnitude higher than the electrolytes containing other stereoisomers of PMMA. The highest value of room temperature conductivity equal to 9 × 10?5 S/cm was measured for a sample containing 30 wt% IPMMA. The effect observed results from the presence of a flexible amorphous phase in PEO-IPMMA blends which is favorable for fast ionic transport. A small increase of ionic conductivity with decreasing molecular weight of the added atactic poly(methyl methacrylate) was also observed. 相似文献
Volume flow of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) (M?n = 43,000 and Tg = 384) has been measured in an Instron Capillary Rheometer. Elastic modulus of the longitudinal wave, longitudinal volume viscosity, initial longitudinal volume viscosity, and retardation times are described at temperatures above Tg (418–483K) and compression rates of about 1.00–200.00 × 105 s?1. An initial increase followed by a decrease in longitudinal volume viscosity has been observed as the compression rate increases and the volume deformation decreases, this last behavior being at the lowest values of the compression rate (6.0 and 30.0 × 10?5 s?1) a typical nonequilibrium one. ηL also increases with increasing temperature (Tg decreases 0.18°C/MPa), and volume flow activation energy decreases as the volume deformation increases. 相似文献
Insertion of CO2 into the polyacrylate backbone, forming poly(carbonate) analogues, provides an environmentally friendly and biocompatible alternative. The synthesis of five poly(carbonate) analogues of poly(methyl acrylate), poly(ethyl acrylate), and poly(butyl acrylate) is described. The polymers are prepared using the salen cobalt(III) complex catalyzed copolymerization of CO2 and a derivatized oxirane. All the carbonate analogues possess higher glass‐transition temperatures (Tg=32 to ?5 °C) than alkyl acrylates (Tg=10 to ?50 °C), however, the carbonate analogues (Td≈230 °C) undergo thermal decomposition at lower temperatures than their acrylate counterparts (Td≈380 °C). The poly(alkyl carbonates) exhibit compositional‐dependent adhesivity. The poly(carbonate) analogues degrade into glycerol, alcohol, and CO2 in a time‐ and pH‐dependent manner with the rate of degradation accelerated at higher pH conditions, in contrast to poly(acrylate)s. 相似文献
Novel fluoride‐teminated hyperbranched poly(ether ether ketone) with 4‐phenoxyphenyl side group (HPEEK‐F) was prepared from 2‐(4‐phenoxyphenyl)‐1,4‐diphenol (A2) and 1,3,5‐tris[4‐(4‐flourobenzoyl) phenoxy]benzene (B3). An end‐capping approach was used to synthesize tertiary amino‐terminated fluorescent (HPEEK‐DMA) and phenyl ethynyl‐terminated self‐crosslinking poly(ether ether ketone)s (HPEEK‐PEP). These three polymers have the same backbone structure and degree of branching (DB=0.67), and different terminal groups. The nature of the terminal group was shown as the influences of the glass transition temperature (Tg) and decomposition temperature (Td) of polymers. The Tg of HPEEK‐F and HPEEK‐DMA are 30°C lower than HPEEK‐PEP, whereas the Td of HPEEK‐F are 90°C and 50°C higher than HPEEK‐DMA and HPEEK‐PEP, respectively. The HPEEK‐DMA fluoresce blue‐green in solid and in solution. This kind of hyperbranched polymer contains a large amount of terminal chromophore groups which can easily lead to the formation of intramolecular excimers. The fluorescence signal was decreased with increasing acidity, furthermore, the two peaks at 466 nm and 507 nm indicated a blue shift occurred. After curing, the HPEEK‐PEP displayed a Tg at 235.5°C, which is 100°C higher than original polymers. Thermally cured samples show good anti‐chemical corrodibility in DMF, THF, DMAc and NMP solvents. 相似文献
Using 4,4′‐dibromobenzophenone and 4,4′‐diaminoazobenzene as monomers, poly(aryl imino) containing azobenzene unit (PAI‐A) was synthesized via palladium‐catalyzed amination, and structurally characterized by means of FT‐IR, 1H NMR spectra and elemental analysis, the results of which show an agreement with the proposed structure. The UV absorption spectra were tested under different conditions. Additionally, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermogravimetric (TG) measurements show that PAI‐A possesses high glass transition temperature (Tg>176°C) and good thermal stability with high decomposition temperatures in nitrogen atmosphere (TD>410°C). 相似文献
Ring‐opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) was used to synthesize novel ring‐opened poly[5‐(2‐phenylethylnorbornene)]. Hydrogenation can produce two different saturated derivatives, with the phenyl groups either preserved or saturated to cyclohexyl groups. These two different hydrogenated products allowed us to compare the effect of replacing the pendant phenyl groups with cyclohexyl groups on properties such as the glass transition temperature (Tg). We found that Tg decreased by only 2 °C (from 28 to 26 °C) upon replacement of the phenyl groups. This contrasts with the effect of saturating the phenyl groups in the addition polymer of 5‐(2‐phenylethylnorbornene), where the Tg increased by 34 °C, from 215 to 249 °C, a remarkable difference in magnitude and direction compared with the ROMP polymers.
