Autocrosslinkable methyl-2-phenylethylpolysiloxane stationary phase for capillary column gas chromatography

Methyl-2-phenylethylpolysiloxane polymers have been synthesized for comparison with methylphenylpolysiloxane stationary phases for gas chromatography. The 50% 2-phenylethyl polysiloxane was found to be autocrosslinkable at 260°C without addition of free redical initiator. Although the selectivity of this phase appears to be similar to the 50% phenyl polysiloxane, its thermal stability is not as high.     

Influence of structure on the dynamic mechanical properties of crystalline polymers

A dynamk mechanical theory is presented whose structural elements correspond to such physically measurable material parameters as the compliance of the phases, the percent crystallinity, and the orientation of the crystalline and noncrystalline regions. The theory is tested by using both structural and dynamk mechanical data from samples of isotactic polyproylene films of varying crystallinity and orientation. For the specific case of isotactic polypropylene the general theory is shown to reduce to a simple two-parameter model. It is further shown that the two-parameter model not only identifies the unique properties of each of the phases separately, but also predicts the dynamic mechanical properties of the polymer over a temperature range of—130°C to 120°C, for samples ranging from unoriented to highly oriented, and varying in crystallinity from 40 to 70%. The model can also predict the dynamic mechanical properties over the same temperature range for strips of these samples cut at varying angles to the machine direction.     

Synthesis and properties of cholesteric liquid crystalline elastomers

The synthesis of new side-chain cholesteric liquid crystalline elastomers, containing the flexible non-mesogenic crosslinking agent M-1 and the cholesteric monomer M-2, is described by a one-step hydrosilication reaction. The chemical structures of the monomers and network polymers obtained were confirmed by FT-IR spectroscopy. Their mesogenic properties and phase behavior were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry, polarizing optical microscopy, and x-ray diffraction measurements. The influence of the crosslinking units on the phase behavior is discussed. The network polymers showed elasticity, reversible phase transitions, and cholesteric Grandjean texture. The experimental results demonstrated that the glass transition temperatures and isotropization temperatures of network elastomers decreased as the concentration of crosslinking units was increased, but the cholesteric phase was not disturbed.     

Modification of epoxy-novolac resins with polysiloxane containing nitrile functional groups: synthesis and characterization

Synthesis of the statistical epoxidized polycyanopropylmethylsiloxane-co-polydimethylsiloxanes (PCPMS-co-PDMS) has been demonstrated. The modified polysiloxanes were prepared via a two-step method; (1) the ring-opening polymerization of octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane (D₄) and tetramethylcyclotetrasiloxane (D₄H), (2) hydrosilylation reaction of the polysiloxane prepolymers with allyl cyanide and allyl glycidyl ether. Molar ratios of D₄H and D₄ were varied to produce the modified polysiloxanes with differences in polarity. ¹H-NMR, ²⁹Si-NMR, ¹³C-NMR and FTIR were used to monitor the formation of the modified polysiloxanes and DSC was used to study their thermal behaviors (T_g, −118 to −68 °C). The use of the modified polysiloxanes as an elastomeric component in epoxy-novolac networks was also investigated. TEM and their transition temperatures suggested that the epoxy-novolac networks with high content of PDMS modifiers exhibited microphase separation. The fracture toughness properties of the networks with the polysiloxane modifiers were improved over the controls without polysiloxanes.

Interpenetrating polymer networks based on polyurethane and polysiloxane

A series of interpenetrating polymer networks (IPNs), based on a polyurethane (PU) and polydimethylsiloxane, has been synthesized and characterized by means of DSC, TEM, TGA, 1H-NMR and IR spectroscopies, and other techniques. The homo-networks have been characterized by swelling in n-hexane and chloroform. The IPNs are obtained by combination of a PU based of the castor oil and 2,4-toluene diisocyanate (TDI) with different amounts of polydimethylsiloxane-α,ω-diol (PDMS). These materials have interesting individual physical properties, but some IPNs exhibited superior properties than either of the separate networks. For interesting results, it was used as compatibilizer the polydimethylsiloxane graft polyalkylene oxide. All the IPNs exhibited phase separation and maximum extent at the point of phase inversion.     

SYNTHESIS OF SIDE-CHAIN LIQUID CRYSTALLINE POLYSILOXANE CONTAINING SCHIFF′S BASE MESOGENS WITH NO2-END GROUP AND ITS BEHAVIOR IN A DC ELECTRIC FIELD

A side chain liquid crystalline copolysiloxane, which would show electro-optic effects as known from low mass liquid crystal, was synthesized by hydrosilylation reaction, and the two homologous monomers with different length spacers containing Schiff's base mesogen with—NO_2 terminated group were grafted toa polysiloxane main chain. Residual monomer in crude product is effective in reinforcing the response to an electric field over that of pure polymeric liquid crystal.

聚硅氧烷聚脲嵌段共聚物的TEM及SAXS研究

采用透射电子显微镜与小角X光散射分别研究了不同软、硬段分子量及软段极性对聚硅氧烷聚脲多嵌段共聚体系微相结构的影响。结果表明,增加软段分子量及硬段含量有利于聚硅氧烷与聚脲的相分离。将极性氰丙基引入聚硅氧烷后两相混合度明显改善,同时聚脲硬段粒径减小并趋于均一。在聚氰丙基甲基硅氧烷基体中增加聚脲含量及其分子量,则两相界面厚度也随之增大。
