We prepared high-performance aromatic copolyamides, containing bithiazole and thiazolo-thiazole groups in their main chain, from aromatic diamines and isophthaloyl chloride, to further improve the prominent thermal behavior and exceptional mechanical properties of commercial aramid fibers. The introduction of these groups leads to aramids with improved strength and moduli compared to commercial meta-oriented aromatic polyamides, together with an increase of their thermal performance. Moreover, their solubility, water uptake, and optical properties were evaluated in this work.

A high-performance polymer composite was fabricated using Bz-allyl/BMI/BADCy resin, in which the BMI/BADCy resin was modified with Bz-allyl to improve its dielectric, thermal and mechanical properties and the cross-linking degree after curing.

The continuous glass fiber-reinforced polyarylene ether nitriles (PEN) composites were successfully fabricated from PEN pre-impregnated glass fabric mates and PEN films using a film-stacking method. The work involved heat treatment for crosslinking reaction of PEN, and so it provided an interesting comparison of how heat treatment can influence the properties of composites. Detailed study on heat treatments for crosslinking reaction of PEN in the catalysis of the ZnCl2 at high temperature promoting the thermal and mechanical properties of composites were also investigated. The results showed that the thermal and mechanical properties of composites were enhanced by heat treatment, which is due to the fact that PEN resins could be crosslinked by the catalytic action of ZnCl2 at high temperature and formed triazine rings with a more thermally stable structure.

This paper presents a novel approach for the design synthesis of continuous inhomogeneous structures. The objective of this research is to mimic biological principles of growth and evolution in order to explore a set of novel design configurations identified by high complexity both in topology and mechanical properties. The ability to synthesize novel structures is explored from an engineering point view, where the use of inhomogeneous properties can increase the ability of a structure to support external loads and minimize weight. Based on the observation that biological structures are inhomogeneous, in the sense that different cells have different properties, an artificial environment has been created which models the biological growth procedure with cells that serve as building blocks of the structure. Cell differentiation is expressed only in the sense of mechanical properties. Each cell contains an identical artificial DNA sequence which is executed during the growth procedure and stops once the structure meets desired engineering requirements, such as supporting loads. The DNA contains sets of rules which are encoded as a gene string. A relatively simple DNA sequence can give rise to complex inhomogeneous structures; small changes in the rules can lead to a significantly different structures with different properties. The representation of these rules is ideally suited for evolution, which will be applied in the future to evolve rule-sets that grow and develop high-performance inhomogeneous structures.

Polyimides are attractive candidates for advanced electronic and space applications due to their high performance thermal and mechanical properties. However, the typical intractability and insolubility of polyimides has been a disadvantage. Utilization of the soluble intermediate amic acid can, to some extent, circumvent this problem. However, drawbacks to this approach include the hydrolytic instability of the amic acid and the liberation of water during its subsequent thermal cyclization. Residual stress build-up at the imide-substrate interface may occur due to swelling and drying cycles caused by the loss of water and solvent. In addition, the liberation of volatiles from a polyimide adhesive or coating can lead to the creation of voids which may significantly detract from mechanical properties. Polymeric adhesives must flow in order to provide good wetting of adherend surfaces and consolidation of the bond components. Thus, fully imidized, melt and solution processable, high Tg aromatic polyimides are of great interest.

ABSTRACTIn this research we have focused on the influence of thermal treatment for periods of time on the thermal and mechanical properties of extruded films of a series of high-performance thermotropic liquid crystal polymers (LCPs). The dependence of microstructure, thermal and mechanical properties on the extent of thermal treatment is investigated. Especially synthesized wholly aromatic LCPs based on hydroxybenzoic acid (B), hydroxynaphthoic acid (N), terephthalic acid (TA) and biphenol (BP) are kindly supplied by Hoechst Celanese Research Corp in the form of 50 μm thick extruded films. Thus, the influence of monomer composition is also studied in order to contrast the influence of molecular conformation. Thermal treatments are carried out at temperatures close to the solid-to-nematic transition (Ts→n) for up to several hours under dry air conditions. The results show a profound influence of thermal annealing on morphology and mechanical modulus when annealing is carried out c.a. 40ºC below Ts→n, where solid-to-nematic transition and Young’s modulus are significantly increased.
