Novel polyurethanes (PUS) based on 2,2 `-[ethane-1,2-diylbis(nitrilomethylylidene)]diphenol and 2,2 `-[hexane-1,6-diylbis(nitrilomethylylidene)]diphenol as hard segments containing four aromatic diisocyanates (4,4 `-diphenylmethane diisocyanate, toluene 2,4-diisocyanate, isophorone diisocyanate, and hexamethylene diisocyanate) have been prepared. Fourier transform infrared, UV spectrophotometry, fluorescence spectroscopy, H-1 NMR and C-13 NMR spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, and differential thermal analysis have been used to determine the structural characterization and thermal properties of the segmented PUS. All the PUS contain domains of both semicrystalline and amorphous structures, as indicated by X-ray diffraction. The acoustic properties have been calculated with the group contribution method. Molecular dynamics simulations have been performed on all the PUS to estimate the cohesive energy density and solubility parameter values, which compare well with the values calculated with the group contribution method. Furthermore, the simulation protocols have been applied to the PUS to produce X-ray diffraction plots to determine the phase morphology of the PUS. The surface properties of the PUS have been estimated from the simulation protocols. (c) 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The influence of organic modifiers on intercalation extent, structure, thermal and mechanical properties of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA)-clay nanocomposites were studied. Two different organic modifiers with varying hydrophobicity (single tallow versus ditallow) were investigated. The nanocomposites were prepared from melt processing method and characterized using wide angle X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and tensile tests. Mechanical properties such as tensile modulus (E), break stress (sigma(brk)), and 0% break strain (epsilon(brk)) were determined for nanocomposites at various clay loadings. Extent of PMMA intercalation is sufficient and in the range 9-15 angstrom depending on organoclay and filler loading. Overall thermal stability of nanocomposites increases by 16-30 degrees C. The enhancement in T-g of nanocomposite is merely by 2-4 degrees C. With increase in clay loading, tensile modulus increases linearly while % break strain decreases. Break stress is found to increase till 4 wt % and further decreases at higher clay loadings. The overall improvement in thermal and mechanical properties was higher for the organoclay containing organic modifier with lower hydrophobicity and single tallow amine chemical structure.

We present the first study and results on the preparation and characterization of montmorillonite clay filter based polymer blend nanocomposites of the miscible poly(phenylene oxide)/polystyrene blend. Intercalated nanocomposites, prepared by a melt-processing method with 2-6 wt % commercially available organically modified sodium montmorillonite, have been characterized with wide-angle X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy analysis, thermal analysis (thermogravimetric analysis and differential scanning calorimetry), and mechanical tensile tests. We show that nanocomposites can be successfully prepared in a batch mixer at temperatures much below the conditions conventionally used for this blend without organic degradation. Thermal stability is enhanced by nanoscale hybrid formation. The level of intercalation (change in the d-spacing) does not change with the clay loading. Better dispersion of clay in the blend matrix has been observed at a low level of clay content. The nanocomposites show improved tensile modulus (by 31%) in comparison to the blend, whereas the tensile strength (stress at break) and elongation decrease in the presence of the filler with an increase in the clay loading. The Halpin-Tsai model is able to predict the modulus of the nanocomposites in very good agreement with the experimental data. (c) 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

BACKGROUND: Poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA)-organoclay nanocomposites with octadecylammonium, ion-modified montmorillonite, prepared via melt processing, over a wide range of filler loading (2-16 wt%) were investigated in detail. These hybrids were characterized for their dispersion structure, and thermal and mechanical properties, such as tensile modulus (E). break stress (sigma(brk)), percent break strain (epsilon(brk)) and ductility(J), using wide-angle X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and tensile and impact tests. RESULTS: Intercalated nanocomposites were formed even in the presence of 16 wt% clay (high loading) in PMMA matrix. PMMA intercalated into the galleries of the organically modified clay, with a change in d-spacing in the range 11-16 angstrom. TGA results showed improved thermal stability of the nanocomposites. The glass transition temperature (T-g) of the nanocomposites, from DSC measurements, was 2-3 degrees C higher than that of PMMA. The ultimate tensile strength and impact strength decreased with increasing clay fraction. Tensile modulus for the nanocomposites increased by a significant amount (113%) at the highest level of clay fraction (16 wt%) studied. CONCLUSION: We show for the first time the formation of intercalated PMMA nanocomposites with alkylammonium-modified clays at high clay loadings (> 15wt%). Tensile modulus increases linearly with clay fraction, and the enhancement in modulus is significant. A linear correlation between tensile strength and strainat-break is shown. Thermal properties are not affected appreciably. Organoclay can be dispersed well even at high clay fractions to form nanocomposites with superior bulk properties of practical interest.

A series of heavy metal complexes of crosslinked chitosans were evaluated by thermogravimetric studies. The metal complexes with Cu, Cd and Hg ions exhibiting the highest complexing ability to chitosans (Hg 354-364, Cu 100-112, and Cd 121-160, in mg/g chitosan), had the lowest onset of degradation temperatures (range 194-210 degrees C) and the lowest final degradation temperatures (generally less than 294-304 degrees C for Hg, 296-338 degrees C for Cu, and 305-368 degrees C for Cd complexes). Mn ion, with the lowest binding to chitosans (Mn 5-7 mg/g), showed the reverse behavior, having onset (240-248 degrees C) and final degradation temperatures (range 300-368 degrees C). Zn (binding 74-87 mg/g) and Pb (binding 39-62 mg/g) ions have a binding ability intermediate to Cu/Cd/Hg and Mn extremes, and therefore the effects on onset and final degradation temperatures are intermediate to these values.

Four new aromatic diisocyanates containing pendent flexible alkoxy chains, namely, 5-butyloxy-1,3-phenylenediisocyanate, 5-octyloxy-1,3-phenylenediisocyanate, 5-dodecyloxy-1,3-phenylenediisocyanate, and 5-hexadecyloxy-1,3-phenylenediisocyanate, were synthesized by Curtius rearrangement of the corresponding 5-alkoxy-1,3-phenylene diacylazides. These diisocyanates were each polycondensed with three commercially available aromatic dianhydrides: 4,4'-oxydiphthalic anhydride, 3,3',4,4'-(hexafluoroisopropylidene) diphthalic anhydride, and 3,3',4,4'-benzophenonetetracarboxylic dianhydride-in benzonitrile in the presence of 1,4-dizabicyclo[2.2.2]octane as a catalyst to obtain a series of polyimides with inherent viscosities in the range 0.16-0.43 dL/g. Except for 3,3',4, 4'-benzophenonetetracarboxylic dianhydride based polyimides, all of the polyimides were found to be soluble in dichloromethane, m-cresol, 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone, tetra-chloroethane, and pyridine either at room temperature or on heating and could be cast into tough, flexible, transparent films from a solution in in-cresol or tetra chloroethane. X-ray diffractograms revealed that the polyimides with longer alkoxy chains had layered structures. The glass-transition temperature of the polyimides containing pendent flexible alkoxy chains were in the range 159-246 degrees C as measured by differential scanning calorimetry. The temperature for the 10% weight loss of the polyimides was in the range 410-460 degrees C in a nitrogen atmosphere, which indicated good thermal stability. A pretilt angle of 2.97 degrees was observed for the polyimide derived from 5-octyloxy-1,, 3-phenylenediisocyanate and 4,4'-oxydiphthalic anhydride. (c) 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Glycidol modified polylactic acid (PLLA) polymers have been prepared by reactive extrusion. Influences of residence time and the concentration of glycidol on the extent of reaction with different weight average molecular weight (45,000, 65,000, and 100,000) PLLA's were studied. Structure-property relationship has been established by measuring molecular, mesoscopic, and macroscopic properties. Under reactive extrusion conditions glycidol reacted with the end groups of PLLA to initiate chain extension. Low-molecular weight PLLA reacted with glycidol faster than the medium molecular weight PLLA, whereas high-molecular weight PLLA did not show significant reactions. The glass transition temperature, melting temperature, crystallization temperature, and heat of fusion were measured for unmodified and modified PLLA's. Chain extended PLLA had higher T(g) and T(m) than the unmodified samples. Time sweep rheological experiments were performed to test the melt stability of PLLA. Chain extended PLLA's were found to retain viscoelastic properties for much longer time than the unreacted samples. (C) 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 112: 1391-1398, 2009

Eight different types of novel polyurethanes (PUs) were synthesized through the polyaddition reaction of 4,4'-(ethane-1,2-diylidenedinitrilo)diphenol and 4,4'(pentane-1,5-diylidenedinitrilo)diphenol with four different diisocyanates: 4,4'-diphenylmethane diisocyanate, toluene 2,4-diisocyanate, isophorone diisocyanate, and hexamethylene diisocyanate. The resulting PUs were soluble in polar, aprotic solvents. Structures of the diols and PUs were established with Ultraviolet-visible, fluorescence, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), (1)H-NMR, and (13)C-NMR spectroscopy data. FTIR and NMR spectral data indicated the disappearance of both hydroxyl and isocyanate groups in the PUs. The thermal properties were investigated with thermogravimetry and differential scanning calorimetry.

Two bisphenols containing pendant, quinoxaline moiety; 2,3-bis (4'-hydroxy phenyl) quinoxaline (BHPQ) and 2,3-bis (2'-hydroxynaphthalene-6-yl) quinoxaline (BHNQ) were synthesized and characterized by FT-IR, (1)H, (13)C NMR and mass spectrometry. Aromatic polyesters and copolyesters were prepared by interfacial polymerization from BHPQ or BHNQ and isophthaloyl chloride or terephthaloyl chloride or a mixture of different mole proportions of (IPC + TPC). These polyesters and copolyesters were characterized by spectroscopic technique, viscosity measurement, solubility, thermal stability. DSC and XRD. Polymers had moderate to high molecular weights as evidenced by the inherent viscosities in the range 0.35-0.78 dL/g for BHPQ series and 0.27-0.52 dL/g for BHNQ series. BHPQ polyesters and copolyesters dissolved in m-cresol, NMP and conc. H(2)SO(4) whereas, BHNQ polyesters and copolyesters were readily soluble in NMP, DMAc, (TCE + phenol) and partly soluble in solvent like CHCl(3), pyridine, etc. Wide angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD) results showed that introduction of quinoxaline moiety into polymer chain and aromatic phenyl/rigid naphthyl structures lead to crystalinity. Differentional scanning calorimetry of BHNQ polyesters showed the glass transition temperatures in the range of 131-151 degrees C. BHPQ polyesters did not show any weight loss below 330 degrees C and retained 27-55% weight at 900 degrees C when investigated by TGA under nitrogen atmosphere demonstrating good thermal stability BHNQderived polyesters showed initial decomposition temperatures in range 211-234 degrees C. The structure-property relationships for the mentioned polyesters are analyzed, as these polyesters are of interest as materials for electronics, microelectronics and membrane separation.

Calcium carbonate (CaCO3)/polystyrene (PS) nanoparticles (< 100 nm) with core-shell structure were synthesized by atomized microemulsion technique. The polymer chains were anchored onto the surface of nano-CaCO3 through triethoxyvinyl silane (TEVS) as a coupling agent. Ammonium persulfate (APS), sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and n-pentanol were used as initiator, surfactant, and cosurfactant, respectively. Polymerization mechanism of core-shell latex particles was discussed. Encapsulation of nano-CaCO3 by PS was confirmed by using transmission electron microscope (TEM). Grafting percentage of core-shell particles was investigated by Thermogravimetric Analyzer (TGA). Nano-CaCO3/PS core-shell particles were characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectrophotometer and differential scanning calorimeter (DSC). The results of FTIR revealed existence of a strong interaction at the interface of nano-CaCO3 particle and PS, which implies that the polymer chains were successfully grafted onto the surface of nano-CaCO3 particle through the link of the coupling agent. In addition, TGA and DSC results indicated an enhancement of thermal stability of core-shell materials compared with the pure nano-PS. Nano-CaCO3/PS particles were blended with polypropylene (PP) matrix on Brabender Plastograph by melt process with different wt% of loading (i.e. 0.1-1 wt%). The interfacial adhesion between nano-CaCO3 particles and PP matrix was significantly improved when the nano-CaCO3 particles were grafted with PS, which led to increased thermal, rheological, and mechanical properties of (nano-CaCO3/PS)/PP composites. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) and atomic force microscope (AFM) images showed a perfect dispersion of the nano-CaCO3 particles in PP matrix. Copyright (C) 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Thermal and mechanical properties of new high performance polymer matrix composites based on poly(etheretherketone) (PEEK) as matrix and crystalline-silica (SiO2) as reinforcement were discussed for application in electronic packaging substrates or printed circuit boards. The content of SiO2 was varied between 0 and 50 wt. %. Scanning electron microscopy showed uniform dispersion of SiO2 particles in the matrix. Thermogravimetry analysis showed significant increase in thermal stability and char yield with increase in SiO2 content in the matrix. Differential scanning calorimetry showed that SiO2 had a heterogeneous nucleating effect on PEEK, leading to an increase in peak temperature of crystallization and onset crystallization temperature of the composites compared to a pure matrix. The microhardness increased approximately 42%. A modified rule of mixtures with a strengthening efficiency factor equal to 0.06 fit the data nicely. The results show that the prepared PEEK/SiO2 composites may have potential applications in electronics.

Blends of semicrystalline Nylon 6 with a varying ratios of amorphous Nylon are studied for their morphological, thermal, dielectric, and mechanical behavior. Thermal analysis indicated a compositional dependant decrease in the melting and crystallization temperatures of Nylon 6. The blends exhibited a single compositional dependant glass transition temperature in dynamic mechanical thermal analysis and dielectrical relaxation spectroscopy over entire mixing ratio indicating miscibility between the blend components. The values of flexural modulus and tensile modulus of the blends are found to increase without significant loss in the impact properties. The water absorption of the blends is also lower than the values calculated by rule of mixtures. The observed synergistic behavior of the mechanical properties of the blends is indicative of presence of strong interactions in the blends components. (c) 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl.

A new bisphenol viz., 4-(4-hydroxyphenoxy)-3-pentadecylphenol (HPPDP) was synthesized starting from cashew nut shell liquid (CNSL). Aromatic (co)polyesters containing ether linkages in the main chain and pendent pentadecyl chains were synthesized by the interfacial polycondensation of HPPDP with terephthalic acid chloride (TPC), isophthalic acid chloride (IPC) and a mixture of TPC and IPC (50: 50 mol %) and by polycondenation of varying composition of HPPDP and bisphenol-A (BPA) with TPC. The resultant (co) polyesters exhibited inherent viscosities in the range 0.70-1.21 dL g(-1) and number-average molecular weights in the range 16,000-48,200 (GPC, polystyrene standard). Polyesters were soluble in common organic solvents such as chloroform and dichloromethane and could be cast into films from chloroform solution. Polyesters exhibited T-10 values in the range 430-455 degrees C and Tg values were in the range 29-202 degrees C. Dynamic mechanical storage modulus and maximum on transition of tan delta curve decreased with increased content of HPPDP in copolyesters. Importantly, the large difference between Tg and T-10 values offers the possibility to process these polyesters in the melt.

Triad based rigid mesogenic diols have been synthesized by four step synthesis method using protection-deprotection method. Hydroquinone and 4-hydroxy benzoic acid have been used as starting materials. Synthesized diols have been characterized by IR, H-1 and C-13 NMR, and mass spectroscopic methods. Thermal properties have been determined by thermo gravimetric analysis method and degree of crystallinity have been measured by wide angle X-ray technique. Substituted hydroquinones (methyl and chloro) have been used to study the effect of substitution on physical and thermal properties. Synthesis of rigid mesogenic diol monomer using p-hydroxy benzoic acid and hydroquinone is reported, which is a facile route. Hydrolysis of diacetate derivatives of rigid mesogenic diols is performed in good yields, even though two types of ester groups present in the same moiety, aromatic and aliphatic. The experimental results reveal that hydroquinone based rigid triad mesogenic diol have high thermal stability and degree of crystallinity as compared to methyl-and chloro-substituted rigid triad mesogenic diols.

Silica nanoparticles were modified with aromatic amino groups and modified-silica/polyimide composite films were prepared using them. 3,3!, 4,4!-Benzophenone tetracarboxylic dianhydride (BTDA) and 4,4!-oxydianiline (ODA) were used as precursors for polyimide matrix. The structures of the modified nanoparticles and hybrid nanocomposites were identified using Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectrometry. The hybrid composite films were evaluated for mechanical, thermal and morphological characteristics. Morphological results describe a uniform dispersion of silica particles in the polymer matrix. The thermal stability and mechanical properties of polyimide composite were improved, and the decomposition temperature was increased when the amount of silica nanoparticles was increased.

Megaporous spherical acrylate copolymer beads were synthesized by suspension polymerization using non-solvating porogens. Non-solvating porogens with higher aliphatic hydrocarbon content generated megaporous morphology with lower surface area. Surface area increased and inversely megaporosity was decreased with decrease in the aliphatic hydrocarbon content of porogen. Megaporosity (5.47 mu m) and pore volume of 5.52 cm(3)/g was obtained with n-decanol. Thermal property of copolymer is a function of type (rigidity/flexibility/elemental composition) and concentration (cross-link density) of monomer and cross-linker. Copolymer containing rigid cross-linker (divinylbenzene) had better thermal stability over copolymer with flexible cross-linker (ethylene dimethacrylate). Further, higher concentration of rigid cross-linker or lower concentration of flexible cross-linker enhanced the thermal stability. Porous polymers are potentially recognized as a solid support for solid-phase synthesis. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

A new aromatic based monomer 2-phenoxy-2-phenylethyl acrylate (PPEA) was synthesized. Copolymers of PPEA with 2-phenylethyl acrylate (PEA) were prepared by free radical polymerization. The reactivity ratios were estimated using various graphical methods. Structural parameters of the copolymers were obtained by calculating the dyad monomer sequence fractions and the mean sequence length. Optical properties of polymers such as refractive indices and UV-Visible absorption were investigated. The glass transition temperature and thermal degradation behavior of the copolymers were studied. Combined with the RI, transparency and thermal properties, prepared copolymers hold great promise as materials for intraocular lens applications.

Abstract Image

Efficient Na ion intercalation/deintercalation in the semigraphitic lattice of a hard carbon derived from the walnut shell is demonstrated. High-temperature (1000 °C) pyrolysis of walnut shells under an inert atmosphere yields a hard carbon with a low surface area (59 m2 g–1) and a large interplanar c axis separation of 0.39–0.36 nm as compared to 0.32 nm for graphite, suitable for Na ion intercalation/deintercalation. A stable reversible capacity of 257 mAh g–1 is observed at a current density of 50 mA g–1 for such nutshell-derived carbon (NDC) with an impressive rate performance. No loss of electrochemical performance is observed for high current cycling (100 mA g–1 → 2 A g–1 → 100 mA g–1). Additionally, the NDC shows remarkably stable electrochemical performance up to 300 charge–discharge cycles at 100 mA g–1 with a minimal drop in capacity.

New aromatic copolyesters were synthesized by phase-transfer catalyzed interfacial polycondensation of 4,4 `-((3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)methylene)bis(2-methoxyphenol) (DMBM) with isophthaloyl chloride (IPC) and a mixture of (50:50 mol %) IPC and terephthaloyl chloride (TPC). Additionally, a series of copolyesters was synthesized by polycondensation of varying compositions of DMBM and bisphenol A with IPC. Copolyesters exhibited inherent viscosity and Mn values in the range 0.59-0.98 dL/g and 15,840-49,460 g/mol, respectively, indicating formation of reasonably high molecular weight polymers. Copolyesters could be cast into tough, transparent and flexible films from chloroform solution. UV-vis measurements on films gave values of T400, T450 and cut-off wavelength in the range 80-84 %, 83-89 % and 324-334 nm, respectively. The formation of random copolyesters was evidenced by 13C NMR spectroscopic studies. Copolyesters exhibited good thermal stability with 10% weight loss temperature in the range 391-438 degrees C. The Tg values of copolyesters were in the range 162-180 degrees C and Tg values decreased with an increase in mol% content of DMBM. Copolyesters exhibited tensile strength, Young's modulus and elongation at break values in the range 83.55-70.68 MPa, 2.11-1.31 GPa and 10.52-5.45 %, respectively.
