Abstract The distribution of carbon black between the phases of a NR/cis-1,4-polybutatdiene (BR) blend was studied. An N550 carbon black was added to the blend using different mixing techniques. The carbon-black distribution was determined using a variety of analytical techniques. The crystallization temperature of the BR was measured by differential scanning calorimetry. This temperature is related to the carbon-black level in the BR phase. Samples were dissolved in toluene to separate the bound and soluble rubber portions and the fractions were analysed for polymer type and amount by solid stale 13C MAS nuclear magnetic resonance. Results indicated that the N550 black has no preference for either the NH or the BR. In phase mixed samples, the majority of the black remains in tho polymer to which it is initially udded. When black and polymers are mixed simultaneously, the black tends to distribute itself uniformly between the polymers. Physical test results on a typical sidewall compound indicated that the location of the carbon black has a significant effect on physical properties, especially cut-growth resistance.

The influence of cadmium oxide on the thermal decomposition behaviors of AP-CMDB propellants was studied by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and accelerating rate calorimetry (ARC). The test results show that the decomposition process of AP-CMDB can be divided into two stages. Cadmium oxide can increase the initial temperature, slow down the decomposition rate and improve the thermal safety of AP-CMDB.

In this research, unzipped sulfanilic acid inspired hydrophobic peptide tube was synthesis by increasing the polarity of sulfanilic acid through nucleophilic attachment of aniline which then provided two reactive sites at the S-terminus. These two sites were then attached with the N-terminal of valine and alanine respectively at an intensity of 1000-1600 of 11 2θ (°). Through π-π stacking at the side chains, the opened ended peptide was linearly arranged to form the unzipped tube. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) confirm the amine bond formation whiles X-ray diffraction test results confirmed D-spacing 7.36 and 4.44 corresponding 2θ (°)12 and 19.97 respectively whiles the torsion angles (Ø2) conformations was between-150.5°and-169.2° and-2 between-129.0° and-150.6°. The Thermogravimetric analysis result showed an increase in the rigidity of the bond with an increasing intensity. Finally, Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) test was carried out to confirm the crystallinity of the structure. Keywords: Sulfanilic acid, hydrophobic Peptide, Unzipped tubes, Nanomaterial

Influence of different graphite-based nanofillers on crosslinking reaction of resorcinol, as induced by hexa(methoxymethyl)melamine, is studied. Curing reactions leading from low molecular mass compounds to crosslinked insoluble networks are studied by indirect methods based on Differential Scanning Calorimetry. Reported results show a catalytic activity of graphene oxide (eGO) on this reaction, comparable to that one already described in the literature for curing of benzoxazine. For instance, for an eGO content of 2 wt %, the exothermic crosslinking DSC peak (upon heating at 10 °C/min) shifted 6 °C. More relevantly, oxidized carbon black (oCB) is much more effective as catalyst of the considered curing reaction. In fact, for an oCB content of 2 wt %, the crosslinking DSC peak can be shifted more than 30 °C and a nearly complete crosslinking is already achieved by thermal treatment at 120 °C. The possible origin of the higher catalytic activity of oCB with respect to eGO is discussed.

Polypropylene(PP)/nanoclay composites samples have been fabricated by melt compounding the PP pellets with nanoclay masterbatch (i.e. 50 wt% of nanoclay) using a mini extruder. The effect of three loadings of nanoclay (i.e. 5, 10, and 15 wt%) on the morphology, non-isothermal crystallization, and viscoelastic behavior of the PP/nanoclay composites were investigated. All the nanocomposites samples were characterized by using Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC), and an oscillatory rheometer. The SEM results showed that the distribution of nanoclay in the PP was relatively good at all level of loadings. The DSC analysis results showed that the nanoclay has dramatically enhanced the crystallization temperature, from 117°C (for neat PP) to 127-129°C (for nanocomposites). Additionally, the frequency sweep test results exhibited that the presence of nanoclay increased the viscoelastic behavior of the PP matrix.

In this paper the effect of LDPE content in PVC foams are examined on the structure of both the foam and the LDPE. We attempt to understand how LDPE content affects the structure of PVC in blends and how it changes the glass-transition (Tg). These parameters often provide important information related to the overall macromolecular structure of the polymer blend. Thermal analytical techniques such as differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) often used to determine the structural transformation of samples. The effect of the miscibility and composition of the PVC/LDPE foam blends on the thermal stability were also investigated.

Three-dimensionally ordered macroporous (3DOM) CuO is prepared by colloidal crystal templated method. The obtained 3DOM structure with about 230[Formula: see text]nm pore diameter is composed of small CuO windows. The special structured CuO is used as a catalyst for thermal decomposition of ammonium perchlorate (AP) and its catalytic activity is measured by simultaneous thermogravimetry-differential scanning calorimetry (TG-DSC) techniques. Test results show that thermal decomposition performance is significantly improved after adding 2[Formula: see text]wt.% 3DOM CuO.

The paper presents an assessment of the impact of using additives on the strength of a binding material, i.e., building gypsum, and also the phase transformation that takes place in it. Microspheres, aerogel and polymer (HEMC) additives were added to a building gypsum slurry with a water to gypsum ratio of 0.75. In order to investigate their influence on bending strength, compressive strength, and the effect of high temperatures, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), as well as tests of the multicomponent binder, were carried out in accordance with the applicable PN-EN 13279-2:2005 standard. The obtained test results allowed to determine that the used additives influenced the strength parameters of the obtained composites. It was shown that the applied additives decreased the compressive and bending strength of the modified gypsum. Despite these properties, the obtained gypsum materials are environmentally friendly because they reuse wastes, such as microspheres. Out of all the applied additives, the use of microspheres in an amount of 10% caused a decrease in the bending strength by only 10%, and an increase in the compressive strength by 4%.

ABSTRACTThe curing of a commercial ethoxymethyl-phosphosiloxane at different temperatures and under various gas ambients was characterised using NMR, thermoanalytical techniques, and FTIR spectroscopy. DSC (Differential Scanning Calorimetry) and DTG (Differential Thermo Gravimetry) were employed to characterize the reactions that occur during thermal treatments in O2 or N2 atmospheres. FTIR spectroscopy and CP (Cross Polarization) 133C - NMR were used to detect the presence of the hydroxyl and organic groups in the cured samples. The experimental results identified three different temperatures (400,580,700°C) that define important stages of the curing reaction. In particular, for annealing at temperatuires up to 580°C in 02, DSC, DTG and FTIR spectra showed the elimination of the organic groups. However, when the annealing was carried out in N2 up to 700°C, these groups are retained.
