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.

LARC™-IAX-3 (Langley Research Center™-improved adhesive experimental resin-3) aromatic polyimide, based on oxydiphthalic anhydride, 3,′4-oxydianiline (3,′4-ODA) and 1,4-phenylenediamine ( p-PDA), was evaluated as a matrix for high-performance composites. Four poly(amide acid) solutions in either N-methypyrrolidone or γ-butyrolactone, end-capped with phthalic anhydride to various theoretical molecular weights, were synthesized. Unidirectional prepreg was fabricated from each of the four resins utilizing NASA-Langley’s multipurpose prepreg machine. The temperature-dependent volatile depletion rates, the thermal crystallization behaviour and the resin rheology were characterized. Based on this information, a composite moulding cycle was developed which consistently yielded well consolidated void-free laminate parts. Composite mechanical properties such as short beam shear strength, longitudinal and transverse flexural strength and flexural modulus, longitudinal tensile strength and notched and unnotched compression strengths were measured at room temperature (RT) and elevated temperatures. Similar properties were obtained independent of the carrier solvent used during matrix resin synthesis. These mechanical properties were superior to those previously measured for IM7/LARC™-IA and IM7/LARC™-IAX composites. The enhanced mechanical properties were attributed to the substitution of 25% 3,′4-ODA by p-PDA in the LARC™-IA imide backbones.

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.
