Diglycidyl ethers of bisphenol‐A (DGEBA) epoxy resin, filled separately with organoclay (OC) and unmodified clay (UC), were synthesized at room temperature and at high temperature (80 °C) by mechanical shear mixing. The room temperature curing (RTC) and high temperature curing (HTC) were carried out with the addition of triethylene tetramine (TETA) and diaminodiphenylmethane (DDM) curing agents respectively. The OC used was alkyl ammonium modified montmorillonite (MMT) and the UC was Na+‐MMT. X‐ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) were used to study the structure and morphology of the nanocomposites. The influence of OC and UC particles on rheology and curing characteristics was studied. The rate of increase in viscosity was higher for OC‐filled resin than that of the UC‐filled resin. The curing study showed that the amine ions of the OC aided the polymerization process and favoured the curing at low temperature over the curing of unfilled epoxy resin. The tensile properties were enhanced for epoxy filled with OC particles rather than those filled with UC particles. Copyright © 2005 Society of Chemical Industry  相似文献

The intercrosslinked networks of unsaturated polyester (UP) toughened epoxy–clay hybrid nanocomposites have been developed. Epoxy resin (DGEBA) was toughened with 5, 10 and 15% (by wt) of unsaturated polyester using benzoyl peroxide as radical initiator and 4,4′-diaminodiphenylmethane as a curing agent at appropriate conditions. The chemical reaction of unsaturated polyester with the epoxy resin was carried out thermally in presence of benzoyl peroxide-radical initiator and the resulting product was analyzed by FT-IR spectra. Epoxy and unsaturated polyester toughened epoxy systems were further modified with 1, 3 and 5% (by wt) of organophilic montmorillonite (MMT) clay. Clay filled hybrid UP-epoxy matrices, developed in the form of castings were characterized for their thermal and mechanical properties. Thermal behaviour of the matrices was characterized by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermo gravimetric analysis (TGA) and dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA). Mechanical properties were studied as per ASTM standards. Data resulted from mechanical and thermal studies indicated that the introduction of unsaturated polyester into epoxy resin improved the thermal stability and impact strength to an appreciable extent. The impact strength of 3% clay filled epoxy system was increased by 19.2% compared to that of unmodified epoxy resin system. However, the introduction of both UP and organophilic MMT clay into epoxy resin enhanced the values of mechanical properties and thermal stability according to their percentage content. The impact strength of 3% clay filled 10% UP toughened epoxy system was increased by 26.3% compared to that of unmodified epoxy system. The intercalated nanocomposites exhibited higher dynamic modulus (from 3,072 to 3,820 MPa) than unmodified epoxy resin. From the X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, it was observed that the presence of d 001 reflections of the organophilic MMT clay in the cured product indicated the development of intercalated clay structure which in turn confirmed the formation of intercalated nanocomposites. The homogeneous morphologies of the UP toughened epoxy and UP toughened epoxy–clay hybrid systems were ascertained from scanning electron microscope (SEM).  相似文献

Rheological and adhesive properties of epoxy oligomer–montmorillonite (MMT) nanocomposites containing 2 and 5 wt% of natural and organomodified clay were studied. Ultrasound treatment of epoxy–clay systems was used for their homogenization. According to rheological data, ultrasound stirring allows the development of well-dispersed systems in the case of organomodified MMT. Sonication of composites with natural clay is inefficient and leads to a poorly dispersed structure. X-ray data demonstrate increases in the interlaminar spacing for organomodified MMT (up to 2 times), which is indicative of MMT intercalation. Clay addition leads to 40–65% increase in the shear adhesion strength of the cured epoxy resin. The sonication influence on the shear adhesion strength of the system with 2 wt% of any clay is very small. Ultrasound stirring of the systems with 5 wt% of clay results in higher values of adhesion for organomodified MMT.  相似文献

Novel hybrid intercrosslinked networks of hydroxyl‐terminated polydimethylsiloxane‐modified epoxy and bismaleimide matrix systems have been developed. Epoxy systems modified with 5, 10, and 15 wt % of hydroxyl‐terminated polydimethylsiloxane (HTPDMS) were developed by using epoxy resin and hydroxyl‐terminated polydimethylsiloxane with γ‐aminopropyltriethoxysilane (γ‐APS) as compatibilizer and dibutyltindilaurate as catalyst. The reaction between hydroxyl‐terminated polydimethylsiloxane and epoxy resin was confirmed by IR spectral studies. The siliconized epoxy systems were further modified with 5, 10, and 15 wt % of bismaleimide (BMI). The matrices, in the form of castings, were characterized for their mechanical properties. Differential scanning calorimetry and thermogravimetric analysis of the matrix samples were also performed to determine the glass‐transition temperature and thermal‐degradation temperature of the systems. Data obtained from mechanical studies and thermal characterization indicate that the introduction of siloxane into epoxy improves the toughness and thermal stability of epoxy resin with reduction in strength and modulus values. Similarly the incorporation of bismaleimde into epoxy resin improved both tensile strength and thermal behavior of epoxy resin. However, the introduction of siloxane and bismaleimide into epoxy enhances both the mechanical and thermal properties according to their percentage content. Among the siliconized epoxy/bismaleimide intercrosslinked matrices, the epoxy matrix having 5% siloxane and 15% bismaleimide exhibited better mechanical and thermal properties than did matrices having other combinations. The resulting siliconized (5%) epoxy bismaleimide (15%) matrix can be used in the place of unmodified epoxy for the fabrication of aerospace and engineering composite components for better performance. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Epoxy–clay nanocomposites were prepared by the dispersion of an organically modified layered clay in an epoxy resin (diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A) and curing in the presence of methyl tetrahydro acid anhydride at 80–160°C. The nanometer‐scale dispersion of layered clay within the crosslinked epoxy‐resin matrix was confirmed by X‐ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy, and the basal spacing of the silicate layer was greater than 100–150 Å. Experiments indicated that the hydroxyethyl groups of the alkyl ammonium ions, which were located in the galleries of organically modified clay, participated in the curing reaction and were directly linked to the epoxy‐resin matrix network. Experimental results showed that the properties of epoxy were improved, evidently because of the loading of organically modified clay. The impact strength and tensile strength of the nanocomposites increased by 87.8 and 20.9%, respectively, when 3 wt % organic clay was loaded, and this demonstrated that the composites were toughened and strengthened. The thermal‐decomposition and heat‐distortion temperatures were heightened in comparison with those of pure epoxy resin, and so were the dynamic mechanical properties, including the storage modulus and glass‐transition temperature. Moreover, experiments showed that most properties of the composites were ameliorated with low clay contents. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 91: 2649–2652, 2004  相似文献

Novel bismaleimide‐modified siliconized epoxy intercrosslinked network systems were developed. Siliconized epoxy systems containing 5, 10, and 15% siloxane units were prepared using epoxy resin and hydroxyl‐terminated polydimethylsiloxane (HTPDMS) with γ‐aminopropyltriethoxysilane (γ‐APS) as a compatibilizer and dibutyltindilaurate as a catalyst. The siliconized epoxy systems were further modified with 5, 10, and 15% (wt %) of bismaleimide [(N,N′‐bismaleimido‐4,4′‐diphenylmethane) (BMI)] and cured by diaminodiphenylmethane (DDM). Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and heat‐distortion temperature measurement of the matrix samples were carried out to assess their thermal behavior. DSC thermograms of the BMI‐modified epoxy systems show unimodel reaction exotherms. The glass transition temperature (Tg) of the cured BMI‐modified epoxy and siliconized epoxy systems increases with increasing BMI content. Thermogravimetric analysis and heat‐distortion temperature measurements indicate that the thermal degradation temperature and heat‐distortion temperature of the BMI‐modified epoxy and siliconized epoxy systems increase with increasing BMI content. The morphology of the BMI‐modified siliconized epoxy systems was also studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 81: 2330–2346, 2001  相似文献

Phenolic novolac/silica and cresol novolac epoxy/silica hybrids were prepared through in situ sol‐gel reaction of tetraethoxysilane (TEOS). The formed hybrids were utilized as a curing agent and an epoxy resin in epoxy curing compositions, respectively. Via the two‐step preparation route, the resulting epoxy resin/silica hybrid nanocomposites exhibited good thermal stability, high glass transition temperatures, and low coefficients of thermal expansion. High condensation degree of the condensed silica was observed with a high content of siloxane bridges, p > 85%, measured by 29Si NMR. The two‐step route also provides feasibility of preparation of epoxy resin/silica hybrid nanocomposites compatible with the current processes of manufacturing of epoxy molding compounds. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Epoxy/silsesquioxane‐OH (EP‐SDOH, ED) hybrid resins were prepared from cyclohexyl‐disilanol silsesquioxane (SDOH) and diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A via the reaction between silanol and the oxirane group, with the cobalt naphthanate as a catalyst. It was found that incorporation of SDOH allows the reaction between oxirane ring and Si? OH, and the silsesquioxane cage structure can be the main chain or as the side chain of the hybrid resin. The EP‐SDOH hybrid resins with various SDOH contents were cured by 4,4′‐diaminodiphenylsulphone, and the curing reaction was investigated by differential scanning calorimetry. The curing characteristics of EP‐SDOH hybrids had been observed to be influenced by the content of SDOH in the hybrid. The differential scanning calorimetry thermograms indicated that the EP‐SDOH hybrid exhibited a higher initial temperature, peak temperature, as well as final temperature than those of the pure epoxy resin when cured by the same curing agent 4,4′‐diaminodiphenylsulphone. The curing kinetic parameters were calculated by using the Ozawa method and the results indicated that EP‐SDOH hybrids possess the same curing mechanism as the pure epoxy resin. The properties of the cured EP‐SDOH hybrid resins such as the glass transition temperature (Tg), dynamic mechanical analysis, thermal stability, as well as the flame retardance were also investigated, and the results showed that introducing silsesquioxane‐OH unit into epoxy resin successfully modified the local structure, made the chain stiffness, restrict the chain mobility, and eventually improved thermal stability and flame retardance of epoxy resin.

Waterborne polydimethylsiloxane‐modified epoxy‐resin‐based polyol dispersions were synthesized by the reaction of 2,4‐toluene diisocyanate with 2,2‐bis(hydroxymethyl) propionic acid, hydroxypropyl‐terminated polydimethylsiloxane (HTPDMS), and bisphenol A epoxy resin based polyol. These HTPDMS‐modified polyol dispersions exhibited a small particle size and an excellent dispersion stability. Two‐component waterborne polyurethane (2K‐WPU) was prepared from the HTPDMS‐modified polyol dispersion and a hydrophilic‐modified polyisocyanate. The structure of the HTPDMS‐modified polyol and its crosslinked 2K‐WPU films (SEFs) were characterized with Fourier transform infrared and NMR spectroscopies. The effects of the HTPDMS content on the mechanical and thermal properties of the resulting SEFs were investigated. The results show that the thermal stability of the crosslinked SEFs was enhanced with increasing HTPDMS content, whereas the modulus, tensile strength, and pencil hardness values of the films decreased with increasing HTPDMS content. Siloxane segments migrated onto the surface during the film‐formation process. The contact angle of the films increased from 71 to 96 °, and the water absorption ratio of the films decreased from 6.6 to 5.0% when the HTPDMS content in the films increased from 0 to 10%. These results indicate that the water resistance of the films was enhanced by the introduction of HTPDMS into the 2K‐WPU networks. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym.

Unsaturated polyester (UPE) resin including styrene monomer was mixed with organophilic montmorillonite (MMT) clay and its crosslinking polymerization reaction was done in the presence of free‐radical initiator. MMT clay was modified with cetyl trimethly ammonium bromide and trimethoxy vinyl silane. The nanocomposites were characterized by X‐ray diffraction (XRD), atomic force microscopy (AFM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), thermogravimetric and dynamic mechanical analyses (TGA and DMA). The exfoliated nanocomposite structure was obtained when the MMT clay was modified in the presence of both modifiers, whereas individual modifications all resulted in intercalated structures. The exfoliated UPE nanocomposite exhibited better thermal and dynamic mechanical properties when compared with pure UPE and other composites, even with 3 wt% clay loading. POLYM.

Montmorillonite (MMT)‐based polyimide (PI) nanocomposites were prepared via two‐stage polymerization of PI using polyamic acid (PAA). The clay was organically modified using various alkylammonium ions to examine the effect of changes in alkyl length on the intercalation spacing of both the treated clays and their hybrids with PAA and PI. The intercalation behavior of clay in the PI matrix and its thermal and mechanical properties were investigated as a function of clay concentration. The d‐spacing of organically modified MMT (O‐MMT) increased with increasing length of the alkylammonium chain. PI/O‐MMT hybrids form exfoliated nanocomposites at clay concentrations below 2 wt%, while they form intercalated nanocomposites together with some exfoliated ones at clay contents exceeding 4 wt%. Young's modulus increased rapidly to a clay loading of 2 wt%, and leveled off with further increases in clay loading. The tensile strength at break increased rapidly up to a clay loading of 1 wt%, and then decreased sharply, while the strain at break showed a monotonic decrease with increasing clay loading from 0 to 8 wt%. The storage modulus, E′, in the temperature range below the glass transition temperature Tg, generally increased with increasing clay content, except at the highest clay content of 8 wt%.

Epoxy‐clay nanocomposites were synthesized to examine the effects of the content and type of different clays on the structure and mechanical properties of the nanocomposites. Diglycidyl ether of bisphenol‐A (epoxy) was reinforced by 0.5–11 wt % natural (Cloisite Na+) and organically modified (Cloisite 30B) types of montmorillonite. SEM results showed that as the clay content increased, larger agglomerates of clay were present. Nanocomposites with Cloisite 30B exhibited better dispersion and a lower degree of agglomeration than nanocomposites with Cloisite Na+. X‐ray results indicated that in nanocomposites with 3 wt % Cloisite 30B, d‐spacing expanded from 18.4 Å (the initial value of the pure clay) to 38.2 Å. The glass transition temperature increased from 73°C, in the unfilled epoxy resin, to 83.5°C in the nanocomposite with 9 wt % Cloisite 30B. The tensile strength exhibited a maximum at 1 wt % modified clay loading. Addition of 0.5 wt % organically modified clay improved the impact strength of the epoxy resin by 137%; in contrast, addition of 0.5 wt % unmodified clay improved the impact strength by 72%. Tensile modulus increased with increasing clay loading in both types of nanocomposites. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 98: 1081–1086, 2005  相似文献

A series of cyanate ester resin (CE) based organic–inorganic hybrids containing different contents (0, 5, 10, 15 and 20 wt%) of epoxy‐functionalized polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS‐Ep) were prepared by casting and curing. The hybrid resin systems were studied by the gel time test to evaluate the effect of POSS‐Ep on the curing reactivity of CE. The impact and flexural strengths of the hybrids were investigated. The micromorphological, dynamic mechanical and thermal properties of the hybrids were studied by SEM, dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) and TGA, respectively. Results showed that POSS‐Ep prolonged the gel time of CE. CE10 containing 10 wt% POSS‐Ep displayed not only the optimum impact strength but the optimum flexural strength. SEM results revealed that the improvement of mechanical properties was attributed to the large amount of tough whirls and fiber‐like pull‐outs observed on the fracture surfaces of CE10. DMA results indicated that POSS‐CE tended to decrease E′ of the hybrids in the glassy state but to increase E′ of the hybrids in the rubbery state. TGA results showed that CE10 also possesses the best thermal stability. The initial temperature of decomposition (Ti) of CE10 is 426 °C, 44 °C higher than that of pristine CE. © 2013 Society of Chemical Industry  相似文献

The influence of organically modified nanoclay‐carbon black (CB) hybrid filler on the curing behavior of natural rubber (NR) was explored in this investigation. Here an effort was paid to understand the curing kinetics of organomodified nanoclay filled rubber compounds. On the basis of two different types of modified clay, NR nanocomposites were prepared and cured by a conventional vulcanization system. A faster curing rate and lower torque values were found when the modification was done by quaternary ammonium compounds. The activation energy of the rubber curing process decreased with the incorporation of nanoclay. In addition, it was revealed that the quaternary ammonium compounds used as modifier in the clay show a plasticization effect. Additionally, X‐ray diffraction studies indicated, that the basal spacing of the clay minerals was increased in both cases after incorporation in the rubber matrix. The dynamic mechanical analysis using a strain sweep mode showed that the Payne effect decreases because of an improved dispersion of CB induced by the presence of nanoclay. POLYM. ENG.

Intercrosslinked network of siliconized epoxy-1,3-bis(maleimido)benzene matrix systems have been developed. The siliconization of epoxy resin was carried out by using various percentages of (5-15%) hydroxyl-terminated polydimethylsiloxane (HTPDMS) with γ-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (γ-APS) as crosslinking agent and dibutyltindilaurate as catalyst. The siliconized epoxy systems were further modified with various percentages of (5-15%) 1,3-bis(maleimido)benzene (BMI) and cured by using diaminodiphenylmethane (DDM). The neat resin castings prepared were characterized for their mechanical properties. Mechanical studies indicate that the introduction of siloxane into epoxy resin improves the toughness of epoxy resin with reduction in the values of stress-strain properties whereas, incorporation of bismaleimide into epoxy resin improves stress-strain properties with lowering of toughness. However, the introduction of both siloxane and bismaleimide into epoxy resin influences the mechanical properties according to their percentage content. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and measurement of heat distortion temperature were also carried out to assess the thermal behavior of the matrix samples. DSC thermogram of the BMI modified epoxy systems show unimodel reaction exotherms. The glass transition temperature (Tg), thermal degradation temperature and heat distortion temperature of the cured BMI modified epoxy and siliconized epoxy systems increase with increasing BMI content and this may be due to the homopolymerization of BMI rather than Michael addition reaction. The morphology of the BMI modified epoxy and siliconized epoxy systems were also studied by scanning electron microscopy.  相似文献

A thermosetting resin system, based on tetraglycidyl‐4,4′‐diaminodiphenylmethane, has been developed via copolymerization with 4,4′‐diaminodiphenylsulfone in the presence of a newly synthesized liquid crystalline epoxy (LCE). The curing behavior of LCE‐containing resin system was evaluated using curing kinetics method and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The effect of LCE on the thermal and mechanical properties of modified epoxy systems was studied. Thermogravimetric analysis indicated that the modified resin systems displayed a high T0.05 and char yield at lower concentrations of LCE (≤5 wt%), suggesting an improved thermal stability. As determined using dynamic mechanical analysis and differential scanning calorimetry, the glass transition value increased by 9.7% compared to that of the neat resin when the LCE content was 5 wt%. Meanwhile, the addition of 5 wt% of LCE maximized the toughness with a 175% increase in impact strength. The analysis of fracture surfaces revealed a possible effect of LCE as a toughener and showed no phase separation in the modified resin system, which was also confirmed by dynamic mechanical analysis. © 2016 Society of Chemical Industry  相似文献

In this work, the effect of the resin/hardener ratio on the small deformation, yield, post‐yield, and fracture behavior of a series of DGEBA‐Jeffamine epoxy‐clay nanocomposites with a fixed organo‐clay content (6 phr), and of the corresponding unfilled resins, was investigated. The mechanical behavior at small deformation was studied by means of uniaxial tensile tests, whereas compression tests were employed to investigate the large (yield and post‐yield) deformation levels. The fracture behavior was studied by the application of fracture mechanics testing methods. The results pointed out that small variations in the resin/hardener ratio used for the preparation of the resin can give rise to remarkable differences in the mechanical behavior at large deformation levels and at fracture. These effects were related to the parameters characteristic of the macromolecular architecture of the resins (chain segments flexibility and crosslink density). The results obtained on nanofilled systems showed that the effect of the resin/hardener ratio on the mechanical behavior of the resins is reduced in presence of organoclay particles. POLYM.

An epoxy matrix system modified by diglycidylether‐terminated polydimethylsiloxane (DGETPDMS) and bismaleimide (BMI) was developed. Epoxy systems modified with 4, 8, and 12% (by wt) of DGETPDMS were made using epoxy resin and DGETPDMS, with diaminodiphenylmethane as the curing agent. The DGETPDMS‐toughened epoxy systems were further modified with 4, 8, and 12% (by wt) of BMI, namely (N,N′‐bismaleimido‐4,4′‐diphenylmethane). DGETPDMS/BMI/epoxy matrices were characterized using differential scanning calorimetry, thermogravimetric analysis, and heat deflection temperature analysis. The matrices, in the form of castings, were characterized for their mechanical properties, viz. tensile strength, flexural strength, and impact test, as per ASTM methods. Mechanical studies indicate that the introduction of DGETPDMS into epoxy resin improves the impact strength, with reduction in tensile strength, flexural strength, and glass transition temperature, whereas the incorporation of BMI into epoxy resin enhances the mechanical and thermal properties according to its percentage content. However, the introduction of both DGETPDMS and BMI enhances the values of thermomechanical properties according to their percentage content. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The reinforcing effect of organoclay in two epoxy matrices, one rubbery and one glassy, was studied. The rubbery and glassy epoxy matrices were chosen to have a very similar chemistry to minimize its impact on the comparison of properties. The epoxy resin was EPON? 828, and the two hardeners were amine‐terminated polyoxypropylene diols, having different average molecular weights (MW) of 2000 and 230 g/mol, namely Jeffamine® D‐2000 and Jeffamine® D‐230, respectively. The nanocomposites were prepared with the organoclay Cloisite® 30B from Southern Clay Products. The quality of dispersion and intercalation/exfoliation was analyzed by means of X‐ray diffraction (XRD), field emission gun scanning electron microscopy (FEGSEM), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) were used to study the curing reactivity and the thermal stability of the epoxy resin systems, respectively. Tensile properties and hardness of epoxy resin and epoxy nanocomposites were measured according to ASTM standards D638‐02 and D2240‐00, respectively. Fracture surfaces were also analyzed by FEGSEM. These two epoxy systems as well as their nanocomposites display totally different physical and mechanical behavior. It is found that the quality of clay dispersion and intercalation/exfoliation, and the mechanical behavior of the glassy and rubbery epoxy nanocomposites are distinct. The results also indicate that the presence of the clay does not significantly affect the Tg of either the rubbery or the glassy epoxy; however, the fracture surface and mechanical properties were found to be influenced by the presence of nanoclay. Finally, several different reinforcing mechanisms are proposed and discussed for the rubbery and glassy epoxy nanocomposites. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 2008  相似文献

A shortcoming of most polymer nanocomposites is relatively low toughness. An effective method to eliminate this is the use of a suitable combination of polymeric impact modifiers with organoclay, which may impart synergistic effects on the mechanical behavior of both thermoplastic and thermoset matrix nanocomposites. This work focuses on the effect of various combinations of amine-terminated (APOP) and hydroxyl-terminated poly(oxypropylene) (POP) and layered silicates on the structure and mechanical behavior of epoxy nanocomposites. The combination of APOP and POP with 0.5−5% wt % of organoclay leads to some compositions that produce well balanced mechanical behavior of the epoxy nanocomposite. The higher toughening effectiveness of APOP/montmorillonite (MMT) compared with that of POP/MMT is a consequence of formation of blended domains consisting of clay tactoids and fine APOP inclusions. An increase in the dispersed particle size with clay content was observed to be a consequence of more significant clay-induced nucleation of phase separation at the expense of clay-induced accelerated curing. The best mechanical behavior was observed for materials using an adduct of APOP and MMT, which was obtained using the ion exchange of sodium ions of MMT by protonated APOP. The enhanced mechanical behavior was due to the formation of nanosized planar arrays by self-pilling of elastomer-modified clay and the corresponding increase in the Tg of the epoxy. The structure/property relationships of these systems indicate that this type of clay polymer combination provides an effective way of modifying the mechanical behavior of epoxy nanocomposites. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
