Uhmwpe Fibers

Abstract High tensile strength ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) fibers were prepared via the dry spinning method. Raw material was UHMWPE resin with 6 million viscosity-average molecular weight (Mv). Changes of morphology, mechanical properties, thermal properties and crystallization process of the fibers in the ultra-hot drawing process were studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), tensile tester, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and wide-angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD). Results show that there was a maximum value of fracture force at a draw ratio of 40 and excessive draw ratio destroyed crystal structures in fibers and led to a decrease in the fracture force value. A shoulder peak appeared in DSC curves of ultra-drawing samples and its peak value maintained at 154°C in different samples. In addition, three peaks can be observed in all WAXD patterns of drawing samples. The mechanism of microstructural changes during the hot drawing process was elucidated.

AbstractCarboxyl functional poly(arylene ether) oligomers of controlled number average molecular weight were synthesized via nucleophilic aromatic substitution step polymerization using p-hydroxy benzoic acid as the molecular weight and end group controlling reagents. The subsequent functionalized polyarylene ethers were copolymerized with acetoxy benzoic acid or acetoxyphenoxy benzoic acid via melt acidolysis procedures. Successful copolymers were generated using chlorobenzene as a solvent for the first s age of the reaction followed by melt reaction at temperatures as high as 325°C. Resulting copolymer composition and segment size were investigated. It was possible to prepare improved solvent resistant copolymers through incorporation of the liquid crystal polyester (LCP) segment. Extraction tests using boiling chloroform showed that a high percentage of segmented copolymer were generated. Swelling characteristics were also noted and were observed to decrease as a function of the LCP concentration utilized. Multiple transitions were observed in differential scanning calorimetry consistent with Tg's, Tm's and possibly with liquid crystal transitions. Optical microscopy showed an ordered microstructure developed which is consistent with the presence of liquid crystalline phases. The materials were successfully compression molded to afford tough coherent films at all compositions, implying the likelihood of improved compressive strength relative to the LCP homo- or copolyesters.

N,N'-Dimethylol thiourea-formaldehyde (DMTUF) resin having the methylol group (CH2OH) has been prepared and characterized. The condensation of DMTUF resin with Phenol (P) was carried out in the presence of alcoholic alkali catalyst at varying ratios of DMTUF: P, namely 1:1, 1:1.5 and 1:2. The resultant DMTUFP resin was characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectral studies, number average molecular weight (M¯n) estimated by non-aqueous conductometric titration, and thermo gravimetry. The curing study of DMTUFP resin with hexamethylene tetramine (HMTA) was monitored by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and kinetic parameters were evaluated. Glass-reinforced composites based on the DMTUFP-HMTA system have also been prepared and characterized.

Cellulosic Fibres

The production of regenerated cellulosic fibres, such as viscose, modal and lyocell, is based mainly on the use of dissolving wood pulp as raw material. Enzymatic processes are an excellent alternative to conventional chemical routes in the production of dissolving pulp, in terms of energy efficiency, reagent consumption and pulp yield. The two main characteristics of a dissolving pulp are the cellulose purity and the molecular weight, both of which can be controlled with the aid of enzymes. A purification process for paper-grade kraft pulp has been proposed, based on the use of xylanases in combination with hot and cold caustic extraction, without the conventional pre-hydrolysis step before kraft pulping. This enzyme aided purification allowed the production of a dissolving pulp that met the specifications for the manufacture of viscose, < 3% xylan, > 92% ISO brightness and 70% Fock’s reactivity. Endoglucanases (EGs) can efficiently reduce the average molecular weight of the cellulose while simultaneously increasing the pulp reactivity for viscose production. It is shown in this study that lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases act synergistically with EGs in the modification of bleached dissolving pulp.

Coordination polymerization of styrene (St) using molybdenum pentachloride supported by phosphite ligand in the presence of metal organic compound was studied for the first time. The types of phosphite and co-catalysts significantly affected the catalytic activity of the molybdenum (V) (Mo(V)) active center and the number-average molecular weight ( Mn) of the resultant polymer. Among the examined catalysts, tri(nonylphenyl)phosphite (TNPP) ligand and AlOPhCH3( i-Bu)2 as co-catalyst provided the polymer with highest yield (up to 87.1%), metallocene as co-catalyst provided the polymer with highest Mn (up to 5.32 × 105). The effect of [P]/[Mo] molar ratio on catalyst activity of the polymerization was discussed and the structures of Mo·TNPP complexes were preliminarily studied by infrared (IR) and ultraviolet spectroscopies. Besides, the polystyrene (PS) samples synthesized through bulk polymerization and solution polymerization were characterized by gel permeation chromatography, IR, carbon 13 nuclear magnetic resonance, and differential scanning calorimetry, respectively, and the results indicated both of the PS had high molecular weight (approximately 105) and atactic structure. All these results demonstrated that Mo(V) catalyst system was very effective for St polymerization.

AbstractPhysical structures of a crosslinkable gelatin derivative (GM) were studied in terms of alteration of apparent molecular weight, triple helix content and mechanical strength. The GM with a substitution degree (DS) of 49% and 79% was prepared by grafting mechacrylic acid (MA), which was able to form injectable hydrogel by photoinitiating polymerization. The zeta potential was increased along the increase of DS. After modification, the apparent number-average molecular weight (Mn) detected by gel permeation chromatography was decreased to about 2/3 of gelatin, while the apparent weight-average molecular weight (Mw) was changed within a small range. Differential scanning calorimetry and circular dichroism (CD) revealed that ability of triple-helix formation of GM was decreased along with the increase of DS and decrease of GM concentration. After photocrosslinking, the sol-gel transition of GM49 physical-chemical hydrogel still existed, but completely disappeared for its chemical hydrogel. The physical-chemical hydrogel showed a larger storage modulus at 20°C than at 37°C as a result of additional physical crosslinking.

Industrial Composting

The paper presents the effects of biodegradation of polylactide containing natural anti-aging compounds. Polymer containing 0.5; 5 and 10 wt % of coffee, cocoa or cinnamon extracts were subjected to industrial composting for 7, 14, 21 or 28 days. The effect of the composting process on polylactide properties was examined based on visual assessment, scanning electron microscopy, average molecular weight, differential scanning calorimetry, thermogravimetry, and tensile strength. The impact of the tested extracts on the effects of the composting process was compared with the impact of a commercially available anti-aging compound. It was found that the tested extracts in most cases did not adversely affect the effects of the composting process compared to pure polylactide, often resulting in intensification of biodegradation processes. As a result of the composting process, changes in the macro- and microscopic appearance of the samples and a decrease in molecular weight, phase transition temperatures, thermal resistance, and thermal strength were observed on a scale close to or greater than the reference anti-aging compound.
