Isomerization behavior of aromatic azo chromophores bound to semicrystalline polymer films

The cis–trans isomerization of azo chromophores covalently bound to semicrystalline polymer films was investigated. Various azo chromophores were introduced onto the functionalized semicrystalline polymer films by a chemical transformation reaction and their isomerization behavior was investigated by UV‐visible spectroscopy and a contact‐angle goniometer. The thermal Z → E isomerization rate of the azo moiety covalently bound to low‐density polyethylene (LDPE) and polypropylene (PP) films was determined. The rate of thermal isomerization was also compared between amorphous and semicrystalline polymer films bearing azo chromophores. The effect of the intramolecular steric factor and the nature of chromophores was studied on the thermal isomerization rate of the polymer films. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Synthesis and characterization of 4,4′-diacryloyloxybenzophenone

A copolymerizable type II photoinitiator 4,4′-diacryloyloxybenzophenone (DABP) based on 4,4′-dihydroxybenzophenone (DHBP) and acryloyl chloride was synthesized, and its structure was confirmed by ¹H NMR and real-time infrared spectroscopy. UV–vis absorption spectroscopy of DABP exhibited red-shifted maximal absorption as compared with benzophenone (BP). The kinetics of photopolymerization was studied by real-time infrared spectroscopy. It showed that DABP was a more effective photoinitiator than benzophenone. When this photointiator and amine was used to efficiently initiate polymerization of acrylates and methacrylates, both rate of polymerization and final conversion increased and the induction period was shortened with increase of amine concentration, DABP concentration and light intensity.     

Effects of 4,4′‐diaminodiphenyl ether on the structures and properties of isocyanate‐based polyimide foams

A series of thermal insulation, acoustic absorption isocyanate‐based lightweight polyimide (PI) foams with 4,4′‐diaminodiphenyl ether (ODA) units were prepared from polyaryl polymethylene isocyanate (PAPI) and the esterification solution derived from pyromellitic dianhydride (PMDA) and ODA. The structures and properties of the PI foams prepared with different molar ratio of ODA/PMDA were investigated in detail. The results show that the ODA units have great influence on the foam properties. With the increase of the ODA units, the density decreases firstly and then increases. When the molar ratio of ODA/PMDA is 3/10, the foam reaches the minimum density (13.7 kg/m³). Moreover, with increasing the ODA units, the acoustic absorption properties increase firstly and then decrease owing to the variation of the average cell diameter of the PI foams. All PI foams show excellent thermal stability, and the 5% and 10% weight loss temperature are in the range of 250–270 °C and 295–310 °C, respectively. In addition, the PI foams present low thermal conductivity and thermal diffusivity. Furthermore, the mechanical property was also evaluated and the compressive strength of the PI foams is in the range of 33.0–45.7 kPa. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym.

Synthesis and properties of TLCPs with 2,6‐naphthalene‐based mesogen,polymethylene spacer,and nonlinear 4,4′‐thiodiphenyl links

A series of new thermotropic main‐chain liquid crystalline copolyesters were prepared by polycondensation of 2,6‐naphthalenedicarbonyl chloride, 4,4′‐thiodiphenol, and α,ω‐alkanediols (n = 4–10) in diphenyl ether at 200°C. Thermal transition behaviors of these copolyesters were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry. Moreover, their thermal stabilities and mesomorphic textures were studied by thermogravimetric analysis and polarizing optical microscopy, respectively. Corresponding model compounds with terminal mesogenic units and central polymethylene spacers were also synthesized for comparison. Both copolymers and model compounds exhibit odd–even dependency of melting temperatures, transition enthalpy (ΔH_m), and entropy (ΔS_m) on the number of methylene units in the spacer. However, the odd–even effects in model compounds are much more distinctive. Nematic mesophases are the only texture observed in melts, except the model compounds with longer methylene units (n = 8, 10), in which smectic mesophases can be observed. The T_m values of the copolyesters (TDP/HD = 1/1) are between 233 and 259°C, depending on spacer length. The initial decomposition temperatures of the copolyesters are above 419°C under N₂ atmosphere. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 83: 1536–1546, 2002     

Synthesis,characterization, and properties of low viscosity tetra‐functional epoxy resin N,N,N′,N′‐ tetraglycidyl‐3,3′‐diethyl‐4,4′‐diaminodiphenylmethane

Tetra‐functional epoxy resin N,N,N′,N′‐tetraglycidyl‐3,3′‐diethyl‐4,4′‐diaminodiphenylmethane (TGDEDDM) was synthesized and characterized. The viscosity of TGDEDDM at 25°C was 7.2 Pa·s, much lower than that of N,N,N′,N′‐tetraglycidyl‐4,4′‐diaminodiphenylmethane (TGDDM). DSC analysis revealed that the reactivity of TGDEDDM with curing agent 4,4′‐diamino diphenylsulfone (DDS) was significantly lower than that of TGDDM. Owing to its lower viscosity and reactivity, TGDEDDM/DDS exhibited a much wider processing temperature window compared to TGDDM/DDS. Trifluoroborane ethylamine complex (BF₃‐MEA) was used to promote the curing of TGDEDDM/DDS to achieve a full cure, and the thermal and mechanical properties of the cured TGDEDDM were investigated and compared with those of the cured TGDDM. It transpired that, due to the introduction of ethyl groups, the heat resistance and flexural strength were reduced, while the modulus was enhanced. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym.

Synthesis and characterization of photochromic homopolymer/copolymer

Photochromic spiropyran homopolymer/copolymers have been prepared by radical polymerization of 5-acrylamino-1,3,3-trimethylindolino-6′-nitro-8′-methoxy spiropyran using different vinyl monomers such as methylmethacrylate, methylacrylate, and styrene. The polymerization was carried out at 80°C in dimethylformamide using α,α′-azobisisobutyronitrile as initiator. The polymers have been characterized by viscometry, gel permeation chromatography, thermogravimetric analysis, and infrared spectroscopy. The kinetics of photochromic behavior have been investigated by preparing a film of one copolymer blended with polymethylmethacrylate. This film, on exposure to sunlight or suitable wavelength, showed a very strong photochromic effect. The decoloration reaction kinetics follow a first-order relationship. The duration for return of the color depends upon the intensity of incident light, ambient temperature, moisture content, and thermal treatment of the film. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Physical State of β‐Carotene at High Concentrations in a Solid Triglyceride Matrix

The highly hydrophobic β‐carotene is often distributed or dissolved in triglycerides to enhance either nutritional or coloring effects. This study aims at elucidating the physical state of β‐carotene that at high concentrations are mixed into a solid high‐melting tri‐glyceride matrix by dissolution at high temperatures (165 °C) in the melted triglyceride. Extensive isomerization of β‐carotene is observed by HPLC after melting crystalline all‐trans β‐carotene and in the solid mixtures of β‐carotene and fully hydrogenated sunflower oil. Crystalline triglyceride is found in the mixed samples by XRPD analysis whereas no signs of crystalline lattice structures of β‐carotene are detected. DSC thermograms show only the melting and recrystallization events of triglycerides, which are affected by the presence of β‐carotene. Severe line broadening is observed in the ¹³C CP/MAS NMR spectra of the β‐carotene‐triglyceride mixtures when compared to crystalline β‐carotene, demonstrating the lack of long‐range order of the carotene. Altogether, the results demonstrate that β‐carotene is present as an amorphous mixture of trans‐ and cis‐isomers dispersed into a structure of crystalline triglyceride in the solid carotene‐triglyceride mixtures. Practical applications: The amorphous structure of trans‐ and cis‐isomers in solid formulations of β‐carotene‐triglyceride mixtures will strongly affect their functional properties related to nutrition and color as food ingredients.     

Synthesis and characterization of new soluble poly(ester‐imide)s containing noncoplanar 2,2′‐dimethyl‐4,4′‐biphenylene unit

A new diimide–diacid chloride (3) containing a noncoplanar 2,2′‐dimethyl‐4,4′‐biphenylene unit was synthesized by treating 2,2′‐dimethyl‐4,4′‐diamino‐biphenylene with trimellitic anhydride followed by refluxing with thionyl chloride. Various new poly(ester‐imide)s were prepared from 3 with different bisphenols by solution polycondensation in nitrobenzene using pyridine as hydrogen chloride quencher at 170°C. Inherent viscosities of the poly(ester‐imide)s were found to range between 0.31 and 0.35 dL g^?1. All of the poly(ester‐imide)s, except the one containing pendent adamantyl group 5e, exhibited excellent solubility in the following solvents: N,N‐dimethylformamide, tetrahydrofuran, tetrachloroethane, dimethyl sulfoxide, N,N‐dimethylacetamide, N‐methyl‐2‐pyrrolidinone, m‐cresol, o‐chlorophenol, and chloroform. The polymers showed glass‐transition temperatures between 166 and 226°C. The 10% weight loss temperatures of the poly(ester‐imide)s, measured by TGA, were found to be in the range between 415 and 456°C in nitrogen. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Copolycondensation of IPA/TPA,BPA, and 4,4′‐dihydroxydipehnylsulfone and 4,4′‐dicarboxydiphenylsulfone

Copolycondensations of IPA, TPA, bisphenol A (BPA), and several cimonomers were carried out to improve thermal properties, such as, the glass transition temperature (T_g) of the IPA/TPA (50/50)–BPA polyester. Among the comonomers examined, 4,4′‐Dihydroxydiphenylsulfone (BPS) and 4,4′‐Dicarboxydiphenylsulfone (DCDPS) having a strongly dipolar sulfonyl group in the chain were significantly effective. The favorable effect upon the T_gs was studied by varying the amounts of BPS and DCDPS incorporated into the copolymers. In the copolycondensation with BPS, two‐stage copolycondensation of BPA first and then BPS, the reverse order of reaction, and their spontaneous addition were examined to investigate the effect of distribution of the BPS unit segments in the copolymer upon the T_gs of the resulted copolymers. The distribution was briefly studied from distribution of the IPA/TPA‐BPA oligomers in the initial reaction using GPC. © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 77: 875–879, 2000     

Synthesis and properties of poly(amide–imide)s based on N,N′‐bis(4‐carboxyphenyl)‐4,4′‐oxydiphthalimide,p‐aminobenzoic acid and various aromatic diamines

A new diimide–diacid monomer, N,N′‐bis(4‐carboxyphenyl)‐4,4′‐oxydiphthalimide (I), was prepared by azeotropic condensation of 4,4′‐oxydiphthalic anhydride (ODPA) and p‐aminobenzoic acid (p‐ABA) at a 1:2 molar ratio in a polar solvent mixed with toluene. A series of poly(amide–imide)s (PAI, III_a–m) was synthesized from the diimide–diacid I (or I′, diacid chloride of I) and various aromatic diamines by direct polycondensation (or low temperature polycondensation) using triphenyl phosphite and pyridine as condensing agents. It was found that only III_k–m having a meta‐structure at two terminals of the diamine could afford good quality, creasable films by solution‐casting; other PAIs III using diamine with para‐linkage at terminals were insoluble and crystalline; though III_g–i contained the soluble group of the diamine moieties, their solvent‐cast films were brittle. In order to improve their to solubility and film quality, copoly(amide–imide)s (Co‐PAIs) based on I and mixtures of p‐ABA and aromatic diamines were synthesized. When on equimolar of p‐ABA (m = 1) was mixed, most of Co‐PAIs IV had improved solubility and high inherent viscosities in the range 0.9–1.5 dl g^?1; however, their films were still brittle. With m = 3, series V was obtained, and all members exhibited high toughness. The solubility, film‐forming ability, crystallinity, and thermal properties of the resultant poly(amide–imide)s were investigated. © 2002 Society of Chemical Industry     

Synthesis,characterization, and catalytic behavior of copper complexes with fluorosubstituted β‐ketoimine ligands

A series of β‐ketoimine ligands with various fluorine substitutions on the N‐aryl ring and the corresponding copper complexes were synthesized. The fluorosubstituents exerted significant effects on the structures and catalytic activities of the copper complexes. X‐ray diffraction revealed that the copper(II) central ions were coordinated by two trans‐oriented β‐ketoimino ligands with delocalized double bonds. Complex 2b (with mono‐o‐fluorosubstitution on the N‐aryl moiety) adopted a central symmetric square planar structure, whereas complex 2f (with bis‐o‐fluorosubstitution) had a distorted square planar structure with a dihedral angle of 28.2°. The Cu? N bond length in 2f was appreciably shorter than that in 2b . When activated by modified methylaluminoxane, the copper complexes effectively polymerized methyl acrylate. Furthermore, substitution with more fluorine atoms resulted in a higher activity. The catalytic activity of the pentafluorosubstituted complex 2h reached 57.5 kg (mol of Cu)^?1·h^?1 under optimized conditions; this was the highest value reported up to this point for copper complexes in acrylic monomer polymerization. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Preparation and properties of organo‐soluble polyimides based on 4,4′‐diamino‐3,3‐dimethyldiphenylmethane and conventional dianhydrides

4,4′‐Diamino‐3,3′‐dimethyldiphenylmethane was used to prepare polyimides in an attempt to achieve good organo‐solubility and light color. Polyimides based on this diamine and three conventional aromatic dianhydrides were prepared by solution polycondensation followed by chemical imidization. They possess good solubility in aprotonic polar organic solvents such as N‐methyl 2‐pyrrolidone, N,N‐dimethyl acetamide, and m‐cresol. Polyimide from 4,4′‐diamino‐3,3′‐dimethyldiphenylmethane and diphenylether‐3,3′,4,4′‐tetracarboxylic acid dianhydride is even soluble in common solvents such as tetrahydrofuran and chloroform. Polyimides exhibit high transmittance at wavelengths above 400 nm. The glass transition temperature of polyimide from 4,4′‐diamino‐3,3′‐dimethyldiphenylmethane and pyromellitic dianhydride is 370°C, while that from 4,4′‐diamino‐3,3′‐dimethyldiphenylmethane and diphenylether‐3,3′,4,4′‐tetracarboxylic acid dianhydride is about 260°C. The initial thermal decomposition temperatures of these polyimides are 520–540°C. © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 72: 1299–1304, 1999     

Synthesis and characterization of novel polyaspartimides derived from 2,2′‐dimethyl‐4,4′‐bis(4‐maleimidophenoxy)biphenyl and various diamines

A novel bismaleimide, 2,2′‐dimethyl‐4,4′‐bis(4‐maleimidophenoxy)biphenyl, containing noncoplanar 2,2′‐dimethylbiphenylene and flexible ether units in the polymer backbone was synthesized from 2,2′‐dimethyl‐4,4′‐bis(4‐aminophenoxy)biphenyl with maleic anhydride. The bismaleimide was reacted with 11 diamines using m‐cresol as a solvent and glacial acetic acid as a catalyst to produce novel polyaspartimides. Polymers were identified by elemental analysis and infrared spectroscopy, and characterized by solubility test, X‐ray diffraction, and thermal analysis (differential scanning calorimetry and thermogravimetric analysis). The inherent viscosities of the polymers varied from 0.22 to 0.48 dL g⁻¹ in concentration of 1.0 g dL⁻¹ of N,N‐dimethylformamide. All polymers are soluble in N‐methyl‐2‐pyrrolidone, N,N‐dimethylacetamide, N,N‐dimethylformamide, dimethylsulfoxide, pyridine, m‐cresol, and tetrahydrofuran. The polymers, except PASI‐4, had moderate glass transition temperature in the range of 188°–226°C and good thermo‐oxidative stability, losing 10% mass in the range of 375°–426°C in air and 357°–415°C in nitrogen. © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Photoresponsive polyurethane–acrylate block copolymers. I. Photochromic effects in copolymers containing 6′‐nitro spiropyranes and 6′‐nitro‐bis‐spiropyranes

The photochromic effect of polyurethane–acrylate block copolymers containing 6′‐nitro spiropyranes and 6′nitro‐bis‐spiropyranes has been investigated. The influence of incorporation of the photochromic agent into the polymeric matrix as a simple solid solution or in a chemically bonded form and the effects of the composition (polyurethane–acrylate) of the block copolymer were studied. In general, it was observed that the photoresponse for the spiropyranes and especially the bis‐spiropyranes obey the combination of several factors, mainly the spatial and electronic differences between the two forms (Sp.–Mer.) in the photoisomerization of these compounds. Such factors are discussed here. © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 71: 259–266, 1999     

4,4′-carbo(4,4′-bismaleimido phenoxy)diphenyl silane: Synthesis and characterization

The paper describes the successful synthesis of silicon containing bismaleimide resin 4,4′-carbo(4,4′-bismaleimido phenoxy)diphenyl silane. The char yield of the bismaleimide resin in N₂ atmosphere was found to be 55% at 800°C. Chain extension of bismaleimide with 4,4′-diamino diphenyl sulfone reduced the char yield and thermal stability.     

An investigation of cure and thermal stability of poly(amide‐amidic acid) modified tetraglycidyl 4,4′‐diaminodiphenylmethane/4,4′‐diaminodiphenylsulfone

In this work, poly(amide‐amidic acid) (PAA) was used to modify tetraglycidyl 4,4′‐diaminodiphenylmethane (TGDDM)/4,4′‐diaminodiphenylsulfone (DDS) system. Results of non‐isothermal differential scanning calorimetry analysis indicated that PAA played a role of catalyst during the process of the curing reaction. The curing mechanism was studied by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, showing that the PAA acted as a co‐curing agent in the system. The glass transition temperature decreased firstly and then increased with the increase of the PAA content. PAA equally rendered TGDDM more fire resistant with higher char yield. On examining the fracture surface morphology using scanning electron microscopy, it was observed that there was no obvious phase separation when the content of PAA was less than 20 phr (per hundred weight of TGDDM/DDS resin), however, phase separation was observed when the content of PAA was 25 and 30 phr. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Synthesis and properties of organosoluble polyimides derived from 2,2′‐dibromo‐ and 2,2′,6,6′‐tetrabromo‐4,4′‐oxydianilines

Two new aromatic diamines, 2,2′‐dibromo‐4,4′‐oxydianiline (DB‐ODA 4 ) and 2,2′,6,6′‐tetrabromo‐4,4′‐oxydianiline (TB‐ODA 5 ), have been synthesized by oxidation, bromination, and reduction of 4,4′‐oxydianiline (4,4′‐ODA). Novel polyimides 6a–f and 7a–f were prepared by reacting DB‐ODA ( 4 ) and TB‐ODA ( 5 ) with several dianhydrides by one‐step method, respectively. The inherent viscosities of these polyimides ranged from 0.31 to 0.99 dL/g (0.5 g/dL, in NMP at 30°C). These polyimides showed enhanced solubilities compared to those derived from 4,4′‐oxydianiline and corresponding dianhydrides. Especially, polyimides 7a , derived from rigid PMDA and TB‐ODA ( 5 ) can also be soluble in THF, DMF, DMAc, DMSO, and NMP. These polyimides also exhibited good thermal stability. Their glass transition temperatures measured by thermal mechanical analysis (TMA) ranged from 251 to 328°C. When the same dianhydrides were used, polyimides 7 containing four bromide substituents had higher glass transition temperatures than polyimides 6 containing two bromide substituents. The effects of incorporating more polarizable bromides on the refractive indices of polyimides were also investigated. The average refractive indices (n_av) measured at 633 nm were from 1.6088 to 1.7072, and the in‐plane/out‐of‐plane birefringences (Δn) were from 0.0098 to 0.0445. It was found that the refractive indices are slightly higher when polyimides contain more bromides. However, this effect is not very obvious. It might be due to loose chain packing resulted from bromide substituents at the 2,2′ and 2,2′,6,6′ positions of the oxydiphenylene moieties. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Reaction‐induced phase separation and resulting thermomechanical and surface properties of epoxy resin/poly(ethylene oxide)–poly(propylene oxide)–poly(ethylene oxide) blends cured with 4,4′‐diaminodiphenylsulfone

We investigated the phase separation, cure kinetics and thermomechanical properties of diglycidyl ether of bisphenol‐A/4,4′‐diaminodiphenylsulfone/poly(ethylene oxide)–poly(propylene oxide)–poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO–PPO–PEO) triblock copolymer (TBCP) blends. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, and atomic force microscopy revealed that the blends exhibited heterogeneous phase morphology in which the TBCP formed dispersed domains in epoxy matrix, due to reaction induced phase separation. A fraction of phase‐separated PEO phase underwent partial crystallization whereas another fraction formed interphases between the dispersed domains and epoxy matrix. Moreover, the dispersed PEO chains improved the compatibility and interfacial adhesion between the matrix and domains and, consequently, significantly improved the mechanical properties of epoxy resin. Furthermore, the thermal degradation studies and contact angle measurements disclosed that the dispersed domains were well protected by the epoxy matrix. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl.
