环氧化聚丁二烯-聚苯乙烯嵌段共聚物对聚苯醚/环氧体系反应诱导 相分离行为的影响

采用扫描电镜、光学显微镜和光散射仪研究了环氧化聚丁二烯-聚苯乙烯嵌段共聚物(EBS)对聚苯醚(PPO)/双酚A型环氧树脂(DGEBA)/4,4’-二(2,6-二甲基苯胺基)甲烷(DIM-DDM)体系反应诱导相分离行为的影响. 实验结果表明, EBS的加入对PPO/DGEBA/DIM-DDM体系反应诱导相分离的演化过程有阻滞作用. 随着EBS加入量的增加, 体系形成双连续相结构所需的PPO含量范围变宽, 而对于相同PPO含量、形成双连续相的体系则相结构尺寸减小.     

固化剂对环氧树脂/聚砜共混物层状结构形成的影响

不同含量的聚砜(PSF)对环氧树脂(EP)/PSF共混物相结构有重要影响,通过对反应分相后的样品进行断面观察,发现一定PSF含量时,体系形成了层状结构.这种层状结构通常为3层,包括上下2个外层、由聚砜和环氧树脂的颗粒-基体结构组成,以及1个双连续结构形成的中间层.研究表明,这种层状结构由反应诱导相分离开始之初形成的双连续结构发展而来,由于反应和相分离的进一步发展热塑性树脂富集相的体积分数逐渐减小、以及组分间的动力学不对称而最终形成的.在一定PSF浓度范围内,不同温度固化样品时均得到了这种层状结构.改变固化剂类型,层状结构的形貌受到影响,当固化剂活性较高时,外层变薄中间层增厚.当组分间的相容性较好时,双连续结构甚至不能演化发展到层状结构.     

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.     

固化条件对环氧树脂/丙烯酸酯橡胶共混体系结构与性能的影响

利用丙烯酸酯橡胶(ACM)提高热固性环氧树脂(EP)的韧性,系统研究共混体系固化条件对材料结构和性能的影响.研究表明,固化前环氧树脂与丙烯酸酯橡胶在整个组成范围内为均相体系,固化过程中两组份分子量不断增大,部分组成环氧树脂/丙烯酸酯橡胶共混体系(80/20及50/50)发生反应诱导相分离现象(RIPS).在发生反应诱导相分离的体系中,分相后的环氧树脂和丙烯酸酯橡胶两相彼此包含对方的组分,是一种不彻底的相分离.同时,固化后材料的结构与性能强烈依赖于所用固化条件(包括固化时间、固化温度及固化剂含量等).因此,可以通过调节体系固化条件实现对环氧树脂/丙烯酸酯橡胶共混体系结构和性能的调控.     

温度效应对氟链封端聚醚酰亚胺改性环氧树脂相分离的影响

用差示扫描量热仪(DSC)、扫描电镜(SEM)和时间分辨光散射(TRLS)比较了全氟碳链封端和苯环封端聚醚酰亚胺改性环氧树脂在不同温度下的相分离.结果表明,与P-blend相比,F-blend的固化速度和相分离速度较慢,诱导期和相结构固定时间推迟,相间距较小.升高温度,相间距因相分离速度加快而增大,同时由于全氟碳链端基引起的差异减小.因此,通过改变固化温度和聚醚酰亚胺的端基来降低聚醚酰亚胺的表面能,可以在一定程度上调控反应诱导相分离体系的相结构,并获得相间距较小的双连续结构.

Morphology,thermo-mechanical properties and surface hydrophobicity of nanostructured epoxy thermosets modified with PEO-PPO-PEO triblock copolymer

In this paper, we report on the effect of amphiphilic poly(ethylene oxide)-poly(propylene oxide)-poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO-PPO-PEO) triblock copolymer (TBCP) on the miscibility, phase separation, thermomechanical properties and surface hydrophobicity of diglycidyl ether of bisphenol-A (DGEBA)/4,4'-diaminodiphenylmethane (DDM) system. The blends were nanostructured. The phase separation occurred via self-assembly of PPO blocks followed by the reaction induced phase separation of PEO blocks. The surface roughness increased with increase in concentration of TBCP due to increased phase separation of PEO blocks at higher concentration. The phase separated PEO blocks formed the crystalline phase in the amorphous crosslinked epoxy matrix. The TBCP has a strong plasticizing effect on the matrix and decreased the glass transition temperature (T_g) and modulus of the thermoset. The incorporation of TBCP improved impact strength and tensile properties and 5 phr TBCP content was found to be optimum to achieve balanced mechanical performance. Moreover, the thermal stability of the epoxy system was retained while hydrophobicity was improved in the presence of TBCP.

Phase Behavior of Polymer Blends

The present report deals with some results on phase behavior, miscibility and phase separation for several polymer blends casting from solutions. These blends are grouped as the amorphous polymer blends, blends containing a crystalline polymer or two crystalline polymers. The blends of PMMA/PVAc were miscible and underwent phase separation at elevated temperature, exhibited LCST behavior. The benzoylated PPO has both UCST and LCST nature. For the systems composed of crystalline polymer poly(ethylene oxide) and amorphous polyurethane, of two crystalline polymers poly(-caprolactone) and poly[3,3,-bis-(chloromethyl) oxetane], appear a single T_g, indicating these blends are miscible. The interaction parameter B's were determined to be –14 J cm^–3, –15 J cm^–3 respectively. Phase separation of phenolphthalein poly(ether ether sulfone)/PEO blends were discussed in terms of thermal properties, such as their melting and crystallization behavior.This revised version was published online in November 2005 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Preparation and properties of phenylene oxide–aryl ether sulphone block copolymers and their blends

We have prepared triblock copolymers of poly(phenylene oxide) (PPO) and polysulphone (PSF) of the form PPO–PSF–PPO in order to assess their intrinsic mechanical properties and their potential as interfacial compatibilizers in polystyrene/PSF blends. For sufficiently long polysulphone block lengths, we observed microphase separation both in the triblock copolymers and in their blends with polystyrene. The triblock polymers, nevertheless, showed very similar microdeformation behavior to the PPO homopolymer, suggesting the phase separation to play a minor role. On the other hand, the compatibility of the poly(phenylene oxide) blocks and polystyrene ensured a high degree of interphase adhesion in blends containing both polystyrene and free PSF, even for relatively high homopolymer molecular weights. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Drawing by solid-state coextrusion of blends of atactic and isotactic polystyrene with poly(2,6-dimethyl-1,4-phenylene oxide)

Atactic polystyrene (aPS)/poly(2,6-dimethyl-1,4-phenylene oxide) (PPO) and isotactic polystyrene (iPS)/PPO compatible blends of varied composition were subjected to solid-state coextrusion. The efficiency of drawing, orientation, and crystallinity development were studied as a function of composition and draw ratio. The efficiency of drawing, as measured by elastic recovery, is high for coextrusion at temperatures ?40°C above the glass transition temperature of the particular blend. The maximum attainable draw ratio for the blends decreased with increasing PPO concentration; the highest blend draw ratio attained was 6.5 for 25 wt % PPO. The orientation on drawing, as measured by birefringence, increased with draw but decreased with increasing PPO component at the same draw ratio. When PPO was <50% in iPS/PPO blends, iPS crystallized on draw. The morphology of drawn blends was studied by electron microscopy and wide-angle x-ray scattering.     

Allylic monomers as reactive plasticizers of polyphenylene oxide. Part I: Uncured systems

The effect of various diallyl (diallyl ortho phthalate, diallyl terephthalate and diethylene glycol diallyl carbonate) and triallyl monomers (triallyl cyanurate and triallyl isocyanurate) on the processability of polyphenylene oxide (PPO) was studied. The solubility parameters of the monomers indicated that diallyl orthophalate, dially terephthalate and triallyl cyanurate should be miscible with PPO suggesting their applicability as reactive plasticizers to improve the processability of PPO. Rheological studies of 60:40 wt:wt PPO:allylic blends indicate that the addition of 40 wt% of allylic monomers significantly improved processability – blends of 60PPO:40DEGDAC indicates the highest viscosity and the highest T_g. Rheological studies and dynamic mechanical analysis on various PPO/DAOP blends show that the increasing amounts of DAOP progressively decreases the viscosity and T_g of the blends. Phase separation at room temperature was observed by visual opacity, cloud point studies and DMTA in PPO:DAOP blends with less than 60 wt% PPO but at elevated temperatures the blends were miscible.
