A novel bio‐based phthalonitrile resin derived from catechin: synthesis and comparison of curing behavior with petroleum‐based counterpart

The development of bio‐based thermosetting resins with good thermal stability can potentially afford sustainable polymers as replacements for petroleum‐based polymers. We report a practical route to a novel catechin‐based phthalonitrile resin precursor (CA‐Ph), which contains free phenolic hydroxyl groups that result in ‘self‐curing’ at elevated temperatures to afford a thermostable polymer. Comparison of the performance of this CA‐Ph resin with that of a conventional petroleum‐based bisphenol A phthalonitrile resin (BPA‐Ph; containing 5 wt% of the curing agent 4,4′‐diaminodiphenylsulfone) revealed that CA‐Ph exhibits a lower melting point and curing temperature. Cured CA‐Ph resin retains 95% of its weight at 520 °C under a nitrogen atmosphere, which compares favorably with results obtained for BPA‐Ph resin that retains 95% of its weight at a lower temperature of 484 °C. Kinetic results indicated that the curing reactions of both CA‐Ph and BPA‐Ph systems follow an autocatalytic mechanism. These results suggest that catechin is a useful bio‐based feedstock for the preparation of self‐curing and thermally stable phthalonitrile resins for advanced technological applications. © 2017 Society of Chemical Industry     

Spreading and Curing Behaviors of a Thermosetting Droplet-Silicone on a Heated Surface

Thermosetting materials are widely used as encapsulation in the electrical packaging to protect the core electronic components from external force, moisture, dust, and other factors. However, the spreading and curing behaviors of such kind of fluid on a heated surface have been rarely explored. In this study, we experimentally and numerically investigated the spreading and curing behaviors of the silicone(OE6550 A/B, which is widely used in the light-emitting diode packaging) droplet with diameter of ～2.2 mm on a heated surface with temperature ranging from 25 ℃ to 250 ℃. For the experiments, we established a setup with high-speed camera and heating unit to capture the fast spreading process of the silicone droplet on the heated surface. For the numerical simulation, we built a viscosity model of the silicone by using the Kiuna's model and combined the viscosity model with the Volume of Fluid(VOF) model by the User Defined Function(UDF) method. The results show that the surface temperature significantly affected the spreading behaviors of the silicone droplet since it determines the temperature and viscosity distribution inside the droplet. For surface temperature varied from 25 ℃ to 250 ℃, the final contact radius changed from ～2.95 mm to ～1.78 mm and the total spreading time changed from ～511 s to ～0.15 s. By further analyzing the viscosity evolution of the droplet, we found that the decreasing of the total spreading time was caused by the decrease of the viscosity under high surface temperature at initial spreading stage, while the reduction of the final contact radius was caused by the curing of the precursor film. This study supplies a strategy to tuning the spreading and curing behavior of silicone by imposing high surface temperature, which is of great importance to the electronic packaging.

Preparation and properties of glass cloth‐reinforced polyimide composites with improved impact toughness for microelectronics packaging substrates

A series of glass cloth‐reinforced thermosetting polyimide composites (EG/HTPI) were prepared from E‐glass cloth (EG) and polyimide matrix resins. The polyimide resins were derived from 1,4‐bis(4‐amino‐2‐ trifluoromethyl‐phenoxy)benzene, p‐phenylenediamine, diethyl ester of 3,3′,4,4′‐benzophenonetetracarboxylic acid, and monoethyl ester of cis‐5‐norbornene‐endo‐2,3‐dicarboxylic acid. Based on the rheological properties of the B‐staged polyimide resins, the optimized molding cycles were designed to fabricate the EG/HTPI laminates and the copper‐clad laminates (Cu/EG/HTPI). Experimental results indicated that the EG/HTPI composites exhibited high thermal stability and outstanding mechanical properties. They had flexural strength of >534 MPa, flexural modulus of >20.0 GPa, and impact toughness of >46.9 kJ/m². The EG/HTPI composites also showed good electrical and dielectric properties. Moreover, the EG/HTPI laminates exhibited peel strength of ～ 1.2 N/mm and great isothermal stability at 288°C for 60 min, showing good potential for application in high density packaging substrates. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

酚醛树脂/碳化硼/聚硼氮烷复合物的固化行为及其热解性能

酚醛树脂作为一种热固性树脂基体具有广泛的应用。为了满足其作为高性能树脂基体在苛刻条件（耐高温和抗氧化）下的使用,进一步提高酚醛树脂的耐热性能并兼顾其工艺性能显得尤为重要。采用含有无机元素的耐热性聚合物（聚硼氮烷）和碳化硼纳米粒子协同改性酚醛树脂的方法,能够克服单独加入碳化硼导致的酚醛树脂固化温度升高的问题。固化动力学分析表明,加入聚硼氮烷的酚醛树脂改性体系,其固化转化率显著高于同温度下酚醛树脂或碳化硼改性酚醛树脂的转化率。同时,聚硼氮烷和碳化硼协同改性酚醛树脂固化物在高温阶段（800～1000℃）的热解稳定性较改性前有大幅度的提高。通过红外光谱分析了不同热解程度下酚醛树脂及其改性物的结构,进一步阐述了聚硼氮烷和碳化硼协同作用对酚醛树脂改性体系固化行为和热解过程的影响机制。上述采用耐热性活性聚合物和碳化硼陶瓷粒子协同改性热固性树脂的方法,有望在高性能复合材料树脂基体中得到运用。

Challenging multiphase complex fluids for applications

Modern processing technology is calling the scientific understanding of dynamic processes,where the science of complex fluids plays a central role.We summarize our recent efforts using the generic approaches of multi-scale physics of complex fluids on apparently irrelevant processes,i.e.the mixing of polymer blends,the processing of thermoplastic(TP) toughened thermosetting(TS) composites using phase separation of TP in TS,as well as the enhanced oil recovery using polymer soft gel.It is emphasized that the thorough physical understanding in multi-scales of time and space through the joint efforts of experiment and theory in each scale is the key issue for the modeling of various processes.
