Novel method for preparation of quaternary ammonium ionomer from epoxidized styrene–butadiene–styrene triblock copolymer and its use as compatibilizer for blending of styrene–butadiene–styrene and chlorosulfonated polyethylene

A novel method for the preparation of a quaternary ammonium ionomer of styrene–butadiene–styrene triblock copolymer (SBS) was developed by a ring‐opening reaction of epoxidized SBS with triethylamine hydrochloride in the presence of a phase transfer catalyst. The optimum conditions were studied. The ionomer was characterized by quantitative analysis, IR spectroscopy, and ¹H‐NMR spectroscopy. Its water absorbency, oil absorbency, dilute solution viscosity, and use as a compatibilizer for the blending of SBS and chlorosulfonated polyethylene (CSPE) were investigated. The results showed that, under optimum conditions, the epoxy groups can be completely converted to the quaternary ammonium groups. The IR spectrum did not exhibit the absorption peak for quaternary ammonium groups, whereas the ¹H‐NMR spectrum and titration method demonstrated it. With increasing ionic group content, the water absorbency of the ionomer increased whereas its oil absorbency decreased. These indicated the amphiphilic character of the SBS ionomer. The dilute solution viscosity of the ionomer in toluene/methanol (9/1) solvent increased with increasing quaternary ammonium group content. The ionomer was used as a compatibilizer for the blends of SBS and CSPE. The addition of a small amount of the ionomer to the blend enhanced the mechanical properties of the blends: 2 wt % ionomer based on the blend increased the tensile strength and ultimate elongation of the blend nearly 2 times. The blends of equal parts SBS and CSPE behaved as oil‐resistant thermoplastic elastomers. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 99: 1975–1980, 2006     

Low-pressure CO2 sorption in ammonium-based poly(ionic liquid)s

Ammonium-based ionic liquid monomers and their corresponding polymers [poly(ionic liquid)s] are synthesized and characterized for CO₂ sorption. The polymers have much higher CO₂ sorption capacities than the room-temperature ionic liquids and imidazolium-based poly(ionic liquid)s. For example, P[VBTMA][PF₆] with polystyrene backbone has a CO₂ sorption capacity of 10.67 mol%. The CO₂ sorption is selective over N₂ and O₂. The effects of cation, backbone, substituent, anion and crosslinking on CO₂ sorption are discussed. The sorption mechanism study indicates that CO₂ sorption by the poly(ionic liquid)s is a bulk and surface phenomenon.

Highly active rare earth catalysts for the solution polymerization of ε-caprolactone

Summary By using -butyrolactone (-BL) as the reaction media, highly active catalysts--light rare earth chloride-epoxidy---BL-for the solution polymerization of -caprolactone, have been obtained for the first time. With these catalyst, PCL with molecular weight as his as 40x10⁴(Mv) can be prepared at 60°C for 1.5 hr. The amount of epoxide in catalyst solution, catalyst aging temperature and time affect the catalyst activity significantly. The mechanism study shows that in -BL, the weakening of Ln-Cl bonds by the donation of coordinated -BL with Ln³⁺ and the homogenous effect promote the reaction between light rare earth chloride and epoxide. The produced rare earth alkoxide initiates CL polymerization via a coordination-insertion mechanism with Acyl-oxygen bond cleavage.

Radiation flux distribution over solar images formed on the focal plane by a paraboloidal reflector with tracking errors

The radiation flux distribution of off-centered solar images formed by a sun-tracking paraboloidal reflector is theoretically analyzed for several tracking error angles using Jose’s sunshape equation and assuming a specularly reflecting surface without taking meteorological conditions into consideration. The results are printed out by computer in the form of shade density maps to bring out a clear contrast to the low and high flux areas of a full image.     

Grafting polymerization of l-lactide on the surface of hydroxyapatite nano-crystals

A novel method of grafting ring-opening polymerization of l-lactide (LLA) onto the surface of hydroxyapatite nano-particles (n-HAP) was developed. PLLA was directly connected onto the HAP surface through a chemical linkage. The PLLA-g-HAP particles could be stably dispersed in organic solvent such as chloroform for several weeks. The n-HAP particles still retained the original dimension and shape after the grafting of PLLA. Compared with the ³¹P MAS-NMR spectrum of pure HAP powders, there appeared a downfield displacement of 1.2 ppm in the spectrum of PLLA-g-HAP. Fourier transformation infrared (FT-IR) spectra further confirmed the existence of PLLA on the surface of PLLA-g-HAP. The amount of grafted polymer determined by thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) was about 6% in weight. The tensile strength and elongation at break of the PLLA/PLLA-g-HAP composite containing 8 wt% of PLLA-g-HAP were 55 MPa and about 10-13%, respectively, while those of the PLLA/n-HAP composites were 40 MPa and 3-5%, respectively.
