Composites based on eucalyptus tar pitch/castor oil polyurethane and short sisal fibers

Polymeric materials are being developed with renewable resources to promote industrial progress with environmentally friendly technologies. For this reason, polyurethane samples were prepared with 4,4′‐diphenylmethane diisocyanate (NCO/OH = 1), eucalyptus tar pitch (biopitch), castor oil as a polyol, and dibutyltin dilaurate as a catalyst. These materials were reinforced with different contents of short sisal fibers (0, 2.5, 5.0, 7.5, and 10.0%) and were prepared by resin‐transfer molding. The composites were characterized by IR absorption spectroscopy, thermal analysis (thermogravimetry and differential scanning calorimetry), impact resistance, scanning electron microscopy, and water absorption resistance. These materials showed hydrophobic characteristics, despite the addition of sisal fibers. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 89: 3797–3802, 2003

Structure and properties of polyimide‐bonded magnets processed from prepolymers based on diacetyl derivatives of aromatic diamines and dianhydrides

We report a novel method of polyimide (PI) synthesis from prepolymers based on dianhydrides and diacetyl derivatives of aromatic diamines that facilitate the preparation of a melt processable mixture at 300 ± 10°C of the prepolymer and magnetic Nd‐Fe‐B alloy to provide PI‐bonded magnets with enhanced properties. It is shown that chemical structure of the prepolymers strongly influences viscosity behavior via crystallization of the oligoimide in the melt, leading to formation of PI with rigid‐rod like structure. This structural ordering of the prepolymers based on diacetyl derivative of diamine used in this study, if not controlled, leads to exponential increase of melt viscosity with time, making it practically impossible to prepare melt processable mixture of the magnetic particles and the PI prepolymers at elevated temperatures. The results obtained demonstrate that appropriate dianhydrides and diacetyl derivatives of diamines that do not lead to crystallization of oligoimides in prepolymer mixture can be used under controlled processing conditions to prepare melt‐processable PI‐bonded magnets containing rigid‐rod like PI structure that significantly increases thermal stability of the magnets. The temperature dependencies of the magnetic properties of the PI‐bonded magnets under conditions that they are likely to encounter during their service life were found to be remarkably similar to that of commercial thermoplastic magnets such as injection‐molded nylon magnets. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Synthetic hydrogels: 3. Hydroxyalkyl acrylate and methacrylate copolymers: surface and mechanical properties

The surface and mechanical properties of copolymers of hydroxyalkyl acrylates and methacrylates have been examined by a variety of techniques. This work is complementary to earlier parts of this series which describe the effect of copolymer structure on water binding properties. Water structure has been demonstrated to exert a profound effect upon mechanical properties whether measured in compression or in tension. In particular, water that is characterized by differential scanning calorimetry as ‘freezing’ water is observed to have a marked plasticizing effect upon the gel, whereas ‘non-freezing’ water has little such effect. Similarly, the ‘freezing’ water produces a more marked effect on thermally induced transitions. Two distinct transition points are observed as a result of its presence. One corresponds to the freezing point of water and the other to a glass transition temperature, whose value depends upon the proportion of ‘freezing’ or ‘plasticizing’ water in the gel. Several predictive and direct measurement techniques have been used to study the surface properties of the copolymers in both hydrated and dehydrated states. Taken together they have established a sound understanding of the way in which polar and dispersive components of surface free energy vary as a function of copolymer composition and water content. Use of protein adsorption and fibroblast cell interaction techniques demonstrate that biological phenomena respond to changes at a molecular level which current macroscopic surface energy techniques are unable to discern.     

Thermoplastic extrusion—the mechanism of the formation of extrudate structure and properties

Systems processed by thermoplastic extrusion can be regarded as heterophase polymer melts of incompatible water-plasticized biopolymers. In the process of thermoplastic extrusion, proteins and polysaccharides are melted at high pressure and temperature below the temperature region of their thermal decomposition. Dispersed particles of these systems can be deformed in flow. The mixed-melt anisotropic structure, formed in flow, is fixed by rapid conversion of the melt jet that lets the extruder die from a viscous state to a rubber-like state and then to a glassy state caused by cooling and drying. Incompatibility of proteins and polysaccharides in their water-plasticized melt mixtures impacts on structure formation and texturization during thermoplastic extrusion.

Structure of resorcinol,phenol, and furan resins by MALDI‐TOF mass spectrometry and 13C NMR

The structure of traditional, linear phenol–resorcinol–formaldehyde (PRF) resins, urea‐branched PRF resins, and phenol–resorcinol–furfural (PRFuran) resins has been investigated in depth by both matrix‐assisted laser desorption/ionization time of flight (MALDI‐TOF) mass spectroscopy and ¹³C NMR. The structure of a variety of oligomers has been obtained, and the structures present in each of the three types of resins related to the very different percentages of resorcinol needed for their equal performance as adhesives. The oligomers type and species distribution appeared very different for each case. PRF resins performance is improved by maximizing either the proportion of resorcinol‐containing oligomers or methylol‐groups containing oligomers, even without any resorcinol, or both. It is equally obtained by the minimization of the relative proportion of the low reactivity Phenol (CH₂ Phenol) species in which resorcinol is not present, this being the most important parameter. This can be obtained by more effective use of the resorcinol by just modifying the resin manufacturing procedure. This parameter instead does not appear to be determinant in PRFuran resins. In these, it is the higher molecular weight of furfural in relation to formaldehyde that engenders for the same manufacturing procedure a correspondingly lower proportion of resorcinol in the resin. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

聚合转化率对硫调型氯丁胶结构与性能的影响

研究了硫调型氯丁橡胶乳液聚合中转化率对产晶结构与性能的影响.结果表明,随单体转化率的提高,聚合物的凝胶量及其交联密度增大,致使断链速度减慢,所得断链胶的门尼粘度上升,残存凝胶量增加,分子支化程度增大,分子量分布变宽,焦烧时间缩短。而相应硫化胶的拉伸强度、撕裂强度、冲击弹性和硬度等提高,扯断伸长率和永久变形下降。这些变化一般在转化率为80——85％时有明显转折.综合考虑产量与质量,聚合转化率控制在82±2％较为适宜。     

Effect of birch (Betula pendula) bark and food protein level on root voles (Microtus oeconomus): II. detoxification capacity

The effect of protein and birch bark powder (BBP) content of forage on detoxification capacity of root voles (Microtus oeconomus) was studied. Young voles were fed with eight different diets for two weeks. Individuals on low (3%) protein diets had significantly lighter livers and kidneys than those on moderate (6%) or high (12%) protein diets. Birch bark powder addition did not have significant effect on organ weight. Detoxification was significantly induced, apparently due to secondary compounds in BBP. The activity of ethoxyresorufin-O-dealkylase (EROD) was high when protein content or BBP concentration in forage was high as compared to low protein diets or diets containing no BBP. Glucuronidation, on the other hand, was not induced by BBP. High BBP content caused serious physiological stress to the voles. The only individuals surviving were those capable of sufficiently allocating energy and protein to detoxification.
