Study of plasma-etched and laser-irradiated polyamide materials

Surface morphological structures of the Low Temperature Plasma (LTP) and UV Excimer Laser treated polyamide materials were investigated. The effects of different parameters were studied by using Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). For LTP treatment, different non-polymerizing gases (oxygen, argon), discharge power and exposure time were selected as treatment parameters. For Laser treatment, high-fluence (above ablation threshold), low-fluence (below ablation threshold) and number of pulses were studied. High-fluence laser treatment gives the most distinct ripple-like structures on the surface of polyamide and these structures are more obvious when the number of pulses increases. Low-fluence treated polyamide develops some stripes of sub-micron size within a narrow fluence window. On the other hand, oxygen and argon plasma also gives ripple-like structures but with smaller dimensions than those due to high-fluence laser treatment. Although the morphological modification features on the polyamide fiber surface developed under laser and LTP treatments are not identical, they have certain similarity. Electronic Publication     

Application of reverse osmosis to reduce pollutants present in industrial wastewater

Reverse osmosis (RO) is increasingly used as a separation technique in chemical and environmental engineering; desalination, selective separation and wastewater treatment are well established examples. Treatment by RO reduces high levels of dissolved salts but has certain limitations in the removal of organics from chemical industry effluents. We describe a comparative study of four different polyamide membranes that were tested for their ability to reduce the concentrations of pollutants in a synthetic effluent stream containing acrylnitrile and three inorganic species (sulphate, ammonium and cyanide). The pH value of the solution plays an important role in the ionization of the different species and, subsequently, in their rejection. The membranes were checked using a 3×10⁻³ m² flat cell where the permeated and concentrated currents were recirculated to the feed reservoir. In a preliminary set of experiments the pH of the feeding solution was 9.0. The rejection percentage of sulphate ion was high in all the membranes tested (96% to 99.4%) regardless of the working pressure. Ammonium rejection values were between 72.3% and 83.9%, while acrylnitrile rejection was low (10.5% to 28.8%) compared with the results obtained for the other pollutants. Cyanide rejection was negative for all membranes tested except for HR95PP, which produced a rejection percentage of 16.5%. The same membrane also produced higher rejection percentages for cyanide and acrylnitrile than the other membranes. Finally, this membrane was selected to study the influence of the feed stream pH on the rejection of ammonium and cyanide ions. The study concluded that cyanide and ammonium could not be acceptably eliminated in a single step operation when they are simultaneously present in industrial wastewater. The results pointed to the need to carry out several steps at different pH values to reduce the level of both pollutants in the studied wastewater.

Mechanical behaviour modelling of a nanostructured polyamide blends obtained by reactive extrusion process

The aim of the present work was to study the effect of the composition and operating conditions on the properties of nanostructured polyamide blends obtained by reactive extrusion. The ultimate objective consisted in optimizing the high impact energy of these materials using an experimental design based on the D-optimality and rotatability criteria. A thermodynamic approach of relaxation phenomena called distribution of nonlinear relaxations (DNLR) was proposed to account for the nonlinear mechanical behaviour of the obtained polyamide blends for different compositions and extrusion conditions. Five parameters of the DNLR law have thus been modelled as functions of these operating conditions using quadratic polynomial relations.The accuracy of this modelling was evaluated by establishing some comparison between the experimental data and the predictive results and by performing statistical tests.

A comparison of the temperature dependence of the modulus, yield stress and ductility of nanocomposites based on high and low MW PA6 and PA66

Nanocomposites with both organically modified and unmodified silicate have been prepared by an extrusion process using low and high molecular weight grades of PA6 and a low MW grade of PA66. Mechanical properties have been tested at temperatures ranging from 20 to 120 °C. The modulus increase in all nanocomposites with organically modified nanocomposites is similar: at room temperature an increase in the modulus of approximately 10% for each wt% of silicate is found. PA66 nanocomposites display an identical normalized modulus increase as PA6 nanocomposites, while unmodified silicate nanocomposites show a smaller increase in the modulus. The yield stress also increases with the addition of layered silicate. Low MW PA6 and PA66 nanocomposites show brittle fracture behaviour at room temperature, while high MW PA6 nanocomposites are ductile. With increasing temperature all nanocomposites become ductile at a certain temperature.

The influence of structural properties on the dye diffusion and dyeabilty of PA 6 fibres

The relationships were investigated between the structural and dyeing properties of different structurally modified PA 6 fibers. PA 6 monofilament yarn samples were applied having different crystalline degrees and different content of alpha, respectively gamma crystalline modification. The diffusion coefficients of two different acid dyes were determined together with the content of dyestuff absorbed (under specific conditions) by fiber samples. In order to estimate colorimetry method from the viewpoint of polymer structural change detection, the colors of the dyed PA 6 samples were determined (L*, a*, b*, C*, h coordinates) and the color differences (L*, a*, b*, C*, H*, E*) were calculated between untreated standard and structurally modified samples. The dyeability of PA 6 fibers depended mainly on the way in which crystallinity had been achieved, i.e. on the material's history. Different crystalline modifications caused different sorption properties and fiber dyeability. Smaller increases (app 20%) of crystallinity degree caused a decrease in diffusion coefficients. Contrary to expectations, the significant increase of crystallinity degree (app 50%) had an influence on the increase of dyeability, presumably owing to the formation of larger empty spaces in the structure. The results achieved by colorimetry were in good correlation with dye absorption measurements. The colorimetry of dyed fiber samples was sensitive enough to detect even small differences in the quantities of absorbed dyestuff.
