Effective Reinforcement

Polyurethane/attapulgite (PU/ATT) nanocomposites derived from castor oil were prepared by incorporation of 8 wt % ATT, acid-treated ATT, and KH560-treated ATT. The effects of three ATTs (ATT, acid-ATT, and KH560-ATT) on the comprehensive properties of PU/ATT nanocomposites were systematically investigated. The results showed that the incorporation of 8 wt % of three ATTs could produce an obvious reinforcement on the castor oil-based PU and that the silane modification treatment, rather than the acid treatment, has the more effective reinforcement effect. SEM images revealed the uniform dispersion of ATT in the PU matrix. DMA confirmed that the storage modulus and glass transition temperature (Tg) of PU/ATT nanocomposites were significantly increased after blending with different ATTs. For PU/KH560-ATT8 nanocomposites, the thermal stability of the PU was obviously enhanced by the addition of KH560-ATT. In particular, 8 wt % KH560-ATT loaded castor oil-based PU nanocomposites exhibit an obvious improvement in tensile strength (255%), Young’s modulus (200%), Tg (5.1 °C), the storage modulus at 25 °C (104%), and the initial decomposition temperature (7.7 °C). The prepared bio-based PU materials could be a potential candidate to replace petroleum-based PU products in practical applications.

Ag@BN/phthalonitrile resin composites were prepared using highly thermally conductive BN modified by Ag plating. The effects of different contents of Ag@BN particles on the dynamic mechanical properties, thermal stability, and thermal conductivity of composites were examined. The results of Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray powder diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy analyses showed that Ag was successfully deposited on the surface of BN. The prepared Ag@BN was subjected to KH550 grafting treatment. With the increase in the content of Ag@BN/KH550, the storage modulus, thermal stability, and thermal conductivity of the composite increased. The storage modulus, decomposition temperature, and thermal conductivity of the Ag@BN/phthalonitrile composite with 20 wt.% Ag@BN/KH550 were 5.0 GPa, 539°C, and 0.80 W/(mK), respectively, which are 1.35, 1.18, and 3.33 times higher than those of pure resin, respectively. The compatibility and dispersibility of BN modified by Ag plating in phthalonitrile resin were effectively enhanced, thereby providing a potential candidate to be used at high-temperature devices with high thermal conductivity.

Abstract The research on facile, low-cost, and green process for the uniform dispersion of graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs) into polymer matrix has always been a considerable challenge in practical applications. The Van der Waals interaction between graphene layers can easily cause aggregation of the nanofillers. Here, we propose a new method to solve this problem by involving solid-state shear mixing to obtain a well-dispersed nanocomposite. The comprehensive properties of nanocomposite, including antistatic properties, mechanical properties, and thermal stability, can be significantly enhanced by this method. The surface resistivity of the nanocomposite can be up to 2.4 × 107 Ω sq−1 under 1 wt% content of GNPs, which is significantly better than the value obtained by conventional melting compounding and meets the required standard of less than 3 × 108 Ω sq−1 for actual application antistatic materials. The impact strength of the nanocomposite increased by 120.8% when compared with neat PP. At the same time, the heat distortion temperature and initial decomposition temperature of the nanocomposite with only 0.5 wt% content of GNPs are improved by 11.7°C and 110°C, respectively. In addition, GNPs is a heterogeneous nucleating agent that leads PP to emerge β crystal form. This study provides an effective and practical reference for the broad-scale industrial preparation of polymer-based graphene nanocomposites.

Prepared a series of castor oil modified NaHSO3 waterborne blocked polyurethane, discussed the influence on the emulsion stability by C.O. addition amount, R value, DMPA and the influences on latex film mechanical property and water absorption by C.O. content, R value. Then analyzed the characterization by FTIP and DSC, its shown that emulsion is stable when the R value controlled in the range of 1.4~1.8 and the stability will become poor with the increase of C.O. content; and with the increase of R value the elongation at break of latex film reduced and tensile strength increased. In short the C.O.s mixing can make latex film initial decomposition temperature increased by 60, reduced elongation at break, increased tensile strength and reduced the water absorption.

Lignin samples fractionated from microwave liquefied switchgrass were applied in the preparation of semirigid polyurethane (PU) foams without purification. The objective of this study was to elucidate the influence of lignin in the PU matrix on the morphological, chemical, mechanical, and thermal properties of the PU foams. The scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images revealed that lignin with 5 and 10% content in the PU foams did not influence the cell shape and size. The foam cell size became larger by increasing the lignin content to 15%. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) indicated that chemical interactions occurred between the lignin hydroxyl and isocyanate revealing that lignin was well dispersed in the matrix materials. The apparent density of the foam with 10% lignin increased by 14.2% compared to the control, while the foam with 15% lignin had a decreased apparent density. The effect of lignin content on the mechanical properties was similar to that on apparent density. The lignin containing foams were much more thermally stable than the control foam as evidenced by having higher initial decomposition temperature and maximum decomposition rate temperature from the thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) profiles.

Polyvinylamine (PVAm) and polyvinylamine chloride (PVAm•HCl) were synthesized by Hofmann degradation of polyacrylamide (PAM). The reaction condition is gentle and the operation is safe, simple and economical so that it is a good reaction method. The chemical structures and thermal properties of the polymers were studied by Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FTIR), nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometer (NMR), X-ray diffractmeter (XRD) and thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA). Synthesis of PVAm•HCl was confirmed by the intensities of the characteristic peak of -CONH2 decreased and the appearance of a new absorption peak at 1530cm-1 (due to N-H bond of -NH3+ ) in the FTIR spectrum, the appearance of the characteristic absorption peaks of carbon atoms in the 13C NMR spectrum, the appearance of chemical shift assignments of proton in 1H NMR spectrum and the appearance of characteristic dispersing diffraction peak between 22.5° to 25.2° in the XRD spectrum, respectively. PAM had three decomposing stages, but PVAm•HCl had two decomposing stages. TG curve of PAM and PVAm•HCl showed that the initial decomposition temperature were 190oC and 140oC, respectively. The thermal stability of PVAm•HCl was poorer than that of PAM.

Polyimide (PI) nanocomposites containing two different functionalized graphene sheets (FGSs) were synthesized, and their thermal properties, morphology, oxygen permeability, and electrical conductivity were compared. Hexadecylamine–graphene sheets and 4-amino- N-hexadecylbenzamide–graphene sheets were utilized. Hybrid films were obtained from blended solutions of PI and FGSs, with the filler content with respect to the PI varying from 0 wt% to 10 wt%. The differences in the properties of the PI matrix were then analyzed with respect to filler content. Transmission electron microscopy analysis confirmed that the two FGSs were dispersed homogeneously throughout the polymer matrix, although some FGS aggregates were also formed. Furthermore, it was observed that the addition of small amounts of FGS nanofiller was sufficient to improve the coefficient of thermal expansion, the gas barrier properties, and the electrical conductivity of the hybrid films. In contrast, the glass transition temperature and the initial decomposition temperature of the PI hybrid films continued to decrease with increasing FGS content.

In this study, few-layered tungsten disulfide (WS2) was prepared using a liquid phase exfoliation (LPE) method, and its thermal catalytic effects on an important kind of energetic salts, dihydroxylammonium-5,5′-bistetrazole-1,1′-diolate (TKX-50), were investigated. Few-layered WS2 nanosheets were obtained successfully from LPE process. And the effects of the catalytic activity of the bulk and few-layered WS2 on the thermal decomposition behavior of TKX-50 were studied by using synchronous thermal analysis (STA). Moreover, the thermal analysis data was analyzed furtherly by using the thermokinetic software AKTS. The results showed the WS2 materials had an intrinsic thermal catalysis performance for TKX-50 thermal decomposition. With the few-layered WS2 added, the initial decomposition temperature and activation energy (Ea) of TKX-50 had been decreased more efficiently. A possible thermal catalysis decomposition mechanism was proposed based on WS2. Two dimensional-layered semiconductor WS2 materials under thermal excitation can promote the primary decomposition of TKX-50 by enhancing the H-transfer progress.

In this work, a flame retardant curing agent (DOPO-MAC) composed of 9,10-dihydro-9-oxa-10-phosphaphenanthrene-10-oxide DOPO and methyl acrylamide (MAC) was synthesized successfully, and the structure of the compound was characterized by FT-IR and 1H-NMR. The non-isothermal kinetics of the epoxy resin/DOPO-MAC system with 1% phosphorus was studied by non-isothermal DSC method. The activation energy of the reaction (Ea), about 46 kJ/mol, was calculated by Kissinger and Ozawa method, indicating that the curing reaction was easy to carry out. The flame retardancy of the epoxy resin system was analyzed by vertical combustion test (UL94) and limiting oxygen index (LOI) test. The results showed that epoxy resin (EP) with 1% phosphorus successfully passed a UL-94 V-0 rating, and the LOI value increased along with the increasing of phosphorus content. It confirmed that DOPO-MAC possessed excellent flame retardance and higher curing reactivity. Moreover, the thermal stability of EP materials was also investigated by TGA. With the DOPO-MAC added, the residual mass of EP materials increased remarkably although the initial decomposition temperature decreased slightly.

Conducting polymer blends Polyaniline-Dodecylbenzene sulfonic acid (Pani.DBSA) and thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) were prepared using in-situ emulsion polymerization method by dissolving both components in DMF. Ani.DBSA/TPU blends were prepared with different compositions 20/80, 30/70, 40/60 and 50/50 wt%. Theses blends have good conducting and mechanical properties. Blends were characterized by Potentiostate, Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and Dynamic mechanical thermal analyzer (DMTA). The electrical conductivity increases up to 30 wt% loading of aniline.DBSA after that it decreases gradually. The uniform dispersion of aniline.DBSA showed in SEM images which is the indication of a strong connection between aniline.DBSA and TPU which increase the conductivity. These blends can be used as strain sensors.
