AbstractA series of bismaleimide systems containing aliphatic backbone chain have been synthesized and investigated. Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC), Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA), Thermomechanical analysis (TMA), rheometry and tensile test were used to characterize the thermal and mechanical properties. It was noted that backbone chain length and odd-even effect affected properties. As the chain length increases, the curing peak temperature, gel temperature of BMI all increase, but the melting point, glass transition and moisture absorption decrease. The melting points of BMI-3,5,7 reduced most significantly. The tensile properties were affected by odd even effect significantly. BMI-3,5,7 with odd number of carbons have less stress and strain than those of even ones.

The curing reaction of diallyl orthophthalate(DAOP) resin, which was initiated by dicumyl peroxide(DCP), was studied by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FTIR). Differential scanning calorimetry(DSC) was used to determine the curing behavior and kinetic parameters of dicumyl peroxide (DCP) / diallyl orthophthalate (DAOP) system. The results clarified that the curing reaction of DAOP resin could be initiated by DCP at 150-180°C and the reaction heat diffused slowly in curing process. The gel-temperature, curing temperature and thermal treatment temperature of the DCP(3%)/DAOP system were 145.46°C, 166.03°C and 173.83°C. The apparent activation energy, frequency factor and reaction order were 130.200kJ/mol, 5.231×1010 and 0.9455, respectively.

The 1, 4-dioxane/ethanol mixed solvent was used as solvent system, and the gel extraction phase separation method was adopted to prepare porous PLLA nanofibrous scaffolds. At that, we studied the effect of using different gel temperature to influence nanofibrous PLLA scaffolds’ structure and performance. The results showed that the morphology of nanofibers and the diameter of fibers could be regulated by gel temperature; a lower gel temperature resulted in higher crystallinity of PLLA scaffold. In addition, the PLLA scaffolds have excellent interconnected network when the gel temperature was in the range of-20 to-10°C. The PLLA scaffolds will become a material to repair the bone tissue, hopefully.

Conventionally, the controlled release of aroma molecules has been achieved by employing mechanical devices; however, it has not been possible to avoid the noise and gusts of air that devices emit prior to transmitting aroma information. Another problem is the adherence of odor components to the device structure, because the aroma source is located inside or at the bottom of the device. In this chapter, the authors focus on a chemical container of a functional polymer gel (temperature-responsive hydrogel) that features a reversible phase transition between sol and gel and the controlled release of aroma molecules using a Peltier module to control temperature. By this approach, they developed a soundless olfactory display based on an aroma chip and solved the problem of the adhesion of odor components by placing a card-based aroma source (aroma-chip array) on the top of the olfactory display.

Silica/epoxy resin hybrid materials are prepared with tetraethylorthosilicate (Si(OC2H5)4, TEOS) and γ-aminoproplytriethyoxysiliane (H2N(CH2)3Si(OC2H5)3, APTES) as the silica sources, epoxy resin as the polymer matrix, by the means of in-suit sol-gel method. The dosages of TEOS and APTES in preparation of hybrid materials, and the sol-gel temperature for silica resources are discussed to make sure of the influence of the structure and properties on hybrid materials. The dispersion of Silica in the epoxy resin are examined by transmission electron microscopy (TEM).The image of fracture surfaces of hybrid materials are examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The glass transmission temperatures (Tg) are tested by differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) to characterize the heat resistance of hybrid materials. The optimum mechanical performance and heat resistance for silica/epoxy resin hybrid materials are achieved with 3wt% TEOS and APTES 2wt% employed in this materials when sol-gel temperature is 60°C. In general, the mechanical and thermal properties of the hybrid materials were improved greatly as compared with the pure epoxy resin.

<p>The use of TiO<sub>2</sub>  powder  as photocatalyst still provides some disadvantages such as the difficulties in regenerate ion, the low adsorption and turbulence . These problems can be overcomed by providing the photocatalyst as a composite of ZnO-TiO2. This research aims to  investigate  the  effect  of  composition  of  solvent  and  temperatureof  synthesis  on  the quality  and  photocatalytic  activity  of  ZnO-TiO2  which  was  prepared  by  sol-gel  method. The  photocatalytic  activity  was  determined  by  applying  the  composite  in  degradation  of Procion  Red  MX-8B  under  irradition  of  UV  light  for  24  hours.  The  procion  red concentration after degradation was determined by UV-Vis spectrophotometer. Meanwhile the effect of synt hesis temperature on crystal structure  of composite  was studied by XRD. The results show that the composite which was prepared by PEG 1500 at 1:4 of moles ratio and at 70  °C of  synthesis temperature has  highest degradation  percentage,  i.e. 55.375 % and photocataltic activity of 3.561 x 10<sup>-7</sup>mg/cm<sup>2</sup>s.</p>

The sol-gel route using an agar gel with calcium nitrate and phosphate solution as starting materials for producing hydroxyapatite (HAP). The product formed were needle like, zigzag and straight fibres. The fibrous products on sintering transformed into stoichiometric HAP with a biological Ca/P ratio of 1.67. The influences of pH, temperature, nature of base and phosphate solution on the growth of fibrous HAP were studied. The pH of the solution was found to greatly influence the growth rate and morphology of the resultant product. The optimum gel temperature was found to be 60oC and sintering temperature of 900oC for 1 hour. The crystalline, thermal, functional and morphological characteristics of the fibrous HAP were investigated.
