Miscibility, Thermal Stability, Rheological and Mechanical Properties of Blends Derived from Polysulfone Oligomer and Poly (phthalazinone ether sulfone ketone)

Poly (phthalazinone ether sulfone ketone) (PPESK) was melt blended with bisphenol-A polysulfone oligomer (O-PSF) to produce a thermoplastic polymer blends. The miscibility, thermal stability, rheological and mechanical properties of the blends were investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and capillary rheometry. The blends showed single Tg over the composition range and possess homogeneous microstructure. The addition of O-PSF slightly affected the thermal properties of the blends. PSF oligomer, as a processing aid, could markedly improve the processability of the PPESK. In addition, the mechanical properties of the blends were increased, to some degree, by adding O-PSF.     

Effect of Pd on GFA and Thermal Stability of Zr-based Bulk Amorphous Alloy

The effect of Pd addition on the glass-forming ability and thermal stability of the Zr55Al10Cu30Ni5-xPdx (x=0, 1, 3, 5 at. pct) alloys upon copper-mold casting has been investigated. The structure, thermal stability and microstructure were studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM), respectively. It was identified that a new bulk amorphous alloy with the larger supercooled liquid region Tx of 100 K is obtained with substituting Ni by 1 at. pct Pd. Furthermore, the origins that thermal stability and GFA change with increasing of Pd have also beer discussed.     

DSC Study on the Polyacrylonitrile Precursors for Carbon Fibers

Different polyacrylonitrile (PAN) precursor fibers that displayed various thermal properties were studied by using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Results showed that some commercial PAN precursor fibers displayed double separated peaks and these fibers were of high quality because of their process stability during their conversion to carbon fibers of high performance. Some fabrication processes, such as spinning, drawing, could not apparently change the DSC features of a PAN precursor fiber. It was concluded that the thermal properties of a PAN precursor fiber was mainly determined from its comonomer content type and compositions.     

High-performance and high-thermally stable PSN-PZT piezoelectric ceramics achieved by high-temperature poling

High piezoelectric properties and superior thermal stability are both important indicators of piezoelectric ceramics serving at high temperature. However, since these properties are usually mutually exclusive, high performance and superior thermal stability are hard to achieve simultaneously. Here we report that a high piezoelectricity(d³³ 562 p C/N) and superior thermal stability(the variation is within 7%from 20 to 330 ℃) were both achieved in 0.4 mol% Zn O-doped 0.02Pb(S...     

Effects of Composition and Thermal Cycle on Transformation Behaviors, Thermal Stability and Mechanical Properties of CuAlAg Alloy

The phase transformation behavior, mechanical properties, and the thermal stability of CuAlAg alloy were studied and minor rare earth (0.1 wt pct La Ce) was added to improve the mechanical property of the studied alloy. It was found that Ag addition in the CuAl binary alloy can improve the stability of martensitic transformation and high Al content leads to the disappearing of martensitic transformation. The tensile strength and strain of the Cu-10.6Al-5.8Ag (wt pct) alloy were measured to be 383.5 MPa and 0.86%, respectively. With rare earth addition, the tensile strain increased from 0.86% to 1.47%. The CuAlAg alloy did not exhibit martensitic transformation on the second heating process. Its poor thermal stability still needs to be improved.     

Fullerenol-containing Materials Derived by Sol-gel Processing

Water soluble fullerenols were synthesized and incorporated in SiO2, SiO2-TiO2, GPTMS-SiO2, GPTMS-ATPS inorganic and organic-inorganic materials by sol-gel processes. The maximum concentrations of C60(OH)n and C70(OH)n in the obtained SiO2 gels were estimated to be about 0.6% and 1.5% in weight, respectively. The characteristics of the UV/visible spectra of fullerenols in H2O and various gels were measured and compared. The thermal stability of fullerenols in gels was investigated with differential thermal analysis (DTA). The results indicate that the absorption features of fullerenols in solid gels are similar to those in H2O and the fullerenols in SiO2 are stable at 400℃. The optical limiting effect of the fullerenols was investigated preliminarily.     

Preparation,Characterization and Hot Storage Stability of Asphalt Modified by Waste Polyethylene Packaging

Waste polyethylene packaging(WPE) was used to modify asphalt,and hot storage stability of the modified asphalt was studied in this paper.The morphological change and component loss of WPE modified asphalt were characterized by fluorescence microscopy,Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FT-IR),differential scanning calorimetry(DSC),thermogravimetry(TG) and isolation testing.In addition,the mechanism of the hot storage stability of WPE modified asphalt was discussed.The results showed that the modification of asphalt with WPE was a physical process.It was found that the filament or partly network-like structure formed in the modified asphalt system was beneficial to improving the hot storage stability.Moreover,the addition of WPE resulted in a decrease in both the light components volatilization and the macromolecules decomposition of asphalt.It was demonstrated that when the content of WPE in matrix asphalt was less than 10 wt%,the service performances of modified asphalt could be better.     

Electrical Resistance Measurement of Glass Transition and Crystallization Characteristics of Zr—Al—Cu—Ni Metallic Glasses

In this paper,glass transition and thermal stability of the Zr-Al-Cu-Ni metallic glasses were investigated by using electrical resistance measurement(ERM),DSC and X-ray diffraction techniques.The experimental results show that the ERM is capable of detecting the glass transition of the amorphous alloys and can help to distinguish the crystallization products of the Zr-Al-Cu-Ni metallic glasses owing to the difference of the electrical resistivity between the precipitation phases.     

Preparation,Thermal Stability and Electrochemical Properties of LiODFB

Lithium oxalyldifluoroborate (LiODFB) was synthesized in dimethyl carbonate solvent and purified by the method of solvent-out crystallization. The structure characterization and thermal stability of LiODFB were performed by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectrometry, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectrometry and thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA). LiODFB was exposed to 50% humid air at 25 C for different time, then dried at 80 C for 12 h, and the electrochemical properties of the cells using 1 mol/L dried LiODFB in ethylene carbonate + dimethyl carbonate + ethyl(methyl)carbonate were investigated. The results showed that, pure crystallization LiODFB was obtained; it had good thermal stability with a thermal decomposition temperature of 248 C; when it was exposed to humid air, it was firstly converted into LiODFB·H2O; with increasing exposure time, more and stronger impurity peaks in the X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns of LiODFB were observed, and both the discharge specific capacity and the capacity retention decreased gradually.     

Waterborne Epoxy Nanocoatings Modified by Nanoemulsions and Nanoparticles

Electrically conductive coatings are required for static charge dissipation in power ground network. In the present investigation electrically conductive nanocoatings were prepared by the incorporation of graphite, nano-SiO2 concentrate, acrylic nanoemulsion and fluorocarbon emulsion onto the waterborne epoxy polymer. The nanosize distribution of nano-SiO2 concentrate and nanoemulsion was characterized with laser diffraction analyzer and scanning electron microscopy （SEM）. From the results of SEM image, the graphite particles were well distributed in conductive coating. The corrosion resistance and thermal stability of nanocoatings were comparatively studied by SEM and thermogravimetry （TG）. The corrosion-inhibiting properties of the conductive nanocoatings were investigated by salt immersion test. The measurements of contact angle, bonding strength and heat-freeze charge demonstrated that 1.5-2.0 wt% nanoparticles improve the resistance to pollution, adherence and resistance to heat-freeze charge of conductive nanocoatings. The measured results of surface electric resistance of nanocoatings demonstrated that a small amount of nano- SiO2 particles could enhance the conductivity in the corrosive environment.

Polycarbonate-linear low density polyethylene blends: Thermal and dynamic-mechanical properties

Blends of polycarbonate (PC) and linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE) of different compositions, in the form of slabs obtained by melt extrusion, have been examined by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and dynamic mechanical thermal analysis (DMTA).DSC measurements show that the melting, crystallization and glass transition temperatures of the two polymeric components in the blends are slightly affected by the composition. On the contrary, large differences are observed in the melting behaviour of layers cut at various depths, parallel to the slab surfaces of samples. This supports the occurrence of different crystal morphologies and distribution of the two components within the samples. The study of the crystallization kinetics from the melt blends shows that the crystallization processes of LLDPE are affected by the presence of PC.The dynamic mechanical analysis indicates that modulus, transitions and relaxational behaviour of the polymer components are scarcely affected by the composition. Some variations of the damping factor have been interpreted as due to the phase heterogeneity of the system, arising from the processing conditions and rheological behaviour of the blends.

Preparation and properties of biodegradable poly(lactic acid)/poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) blend with glycidyl methacrylate as reactive processing agent

Poly(lactic acid) (PLA) and poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) (PBAT) were melt-blended in the presence of glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) by twin-screw extrusion. The physical properties, phase morphology, thermal properties, and melt rheological behavior of the blends were investigated by tensile tests, Charpy impact tests, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and advanced rheology expended system (ARES). With 2 or 5 wt% GMA, the tensile toughness of the PLA/PBAT blend was greatly increased without severe loss in tensile strength. The impact strength of the blend was also significantly improved at 1 wt% of GMA addition but ultimately trended to be saturated with increasing GMA. SEM micrographs revealed that better miscibility and more shear yielding mechanism were involved in the toughening of the blend. DSC results indicated that the blend is still a two-phase system in the presence of reaction agent and the addition of GMA was found to enhance the interfacial adhesion between PLA and PBAT. Rheological results revealed that the addition of T-GMA increased the storage moduli (G′), loss moduli (G′′) and complex viscosity of the blends at nearly all frequencies. The decreased shear-thinning tendency of the blends in the presence of T-GMA also implied improved melt stability during processing.
