Surface functionalized colloidal silica particles from an inverse microemulsion sol gel process

Colloidal silica particles are prepared via a sol gel technique carried out in an inverse microemulsion of water in a toluene solution of tetraethoxysilane (TEOS), stabilized by either an anionic surfactant AOT or isopropanol. Functionalized material was obtained using a functional coupling agent (RO)₃Si(CH₂)₃ X, X being a functional group such as methacryloyl, thiol, vinyl, amino group, or a chlorine atom. Functionalization can be carried out either directly via the direct copolycondensation of TEOS and the coupling agent, or in a two-step process involving a core-shell polycondensation of the coupling agent onto preformed silica particles. Kinetic studies of the copolycondensation are carried out using either²⁹Si NMR analysis or liquid chromatography. They show that the consumption of TEOS is more rapid than that of the coupling agent. The materials are characterized both chemically (elemental analysis, FTIR,¹³C and²⁹Si NMR CPMAS analysis), and by their particle size. The silica functionalized with a polymerizable methacryloyl group is encapsulated by a polymer layer in an inverse emulsion polymerization of acrylic acid. After inversion of the emulsion in water, the resulting material is covered with a layer of hydrophobic polymer in a conventional emulsion polymerization.

Effects of perfluoroether concentration and curing protocol on morphology and mechanical properties of toughened TGDDM/MNA resin systems

Previous published work has shown that hydroxyl terminated perfluoroether oligomers can be suitably modified and functionalised to make them miscible with epoxy resins in the uncured state. The reaction conditions can adjusted to induce phase separation either through spinodal decomposition to produce an IPN type morphology, or by nucleation and growth if a dispersed-particle microstructure is required.In the present work we examine the relative toughening enhancement efficiency of the two possible heterophase morphologies. Both systems show a sigmoidal increase in fracture toughness, with increasing concentration of the perfluoroether modifier. However, this takes place at much lower modifier concentrations for the systems with a particulate morphology (about 3.5% w/w) than for IPN systems (about 7.5% w/w). The maximum fracture toughness achievable for the two systems, on the other hand, is very similar and coincides with the concentration at which co-continuous phases are formed.These differences in morphology, however, are not reflected in the variation of modulus and compressive yield strength with increasing concentration of perfluoroether modifier, in so far as both systems exhibit a gradual and small reduction in property with increasing concentration. Furthermore, the dynamic mechanical spectra of the two systems are very different, but the changes resulting from increasing the concentration of toughening agent are relatively small in either case.Nanoindentation tests indicate that it is the local plasticity, brought about by the presence of the softer perfluoroether phase, which is responsible for the enhancement of fracture toughness. This is corroborated by AFM examinations, which reveal local plastic deformations in the regions surrounding the softer particles.

Effect of randomization on the oxidative stability of corn oil

Randomized corn oil TAG oxidized much faster than natural oil, but after purification with alumina, they oxidized at the same rate. We showed that this effect could not be attributed to a difference, in total tocopherols in the randomized and natural oils. Polar material recovered from the alumina treatment was fractionated by TLC, and a pro-oxidant effect was found in the fractions containing MAG and DAG. However, MAG and DAG, although mild pro-oxidant could not account for the pro-oxidant effect generated by randomization. No other compounds could be detected in the MAG fraction by MS. The pro-oxidant effect of randomized oil disappeared when EDTA or citric acid was added in sufficient amounts. The pro-oxidant effect of randomized corn oil was increased by the incorporation of additional copper or iron at a concentration that did not catalyze oxidation of the purified oil. Treatment of corn oil with ascorbic acid, ascorbyl-6-palmitate, ethyl acetoacetate, ethyl diacetoacetate, and acetylacetone did not reproduce the effect of the unknown pro-oxidant. Although the identity of the pro-oxidant is still unknown, we have confirmed that it is produced during randomization; it does not have pro-oxidant activity alone, but it facilitates the catalytic activity of the transition metal ions.

Natural fiber composites of high‐temperature thermoplastic polymers: Effects of coupling agents

Our earlier paper (Jana, S.C.; Prieto, A. J Appl Polym Sci 2002, 86, 2159) on the development of natural fiber composites of high‐performance thermoplastic polymers described a new methodology for the manufacturing of composite materials of a high‐temperature thermoplastic polymer, poly(phenylene ether) (PPE) and wood flour, a cellulosic natural filler. A thermosetting epoxy, used as a reactive solvent, reduced the processing temperature of PPE/epoxy blends to well below the decomposition temperature of natural fillers. In addition, the epoxy component, upon polymerization, formed coating layers around the filler particles to provide resistance against moisture diffusion and attacks by acids and alkali. This article describes the results of an investigation on two outstanding issues: (1) the influence of cellulosic wood particles and coupling agents on the speed of epoxy curing and reaction‐induced phase separation and (2) the effects of coupling agents on the morphology of crosslinked epoxy at the surfaces of natural fillers and mechanical properties of the composites. It was found that wood particles expedited epoxy curing in the composites; the extent of epoxy curing, however, was reduced in the presence of coupling agents. Also, the coupling agents promoted complete coverage of wood flour particles by polymerized epoxy, although the mechanical properties deteriorated over systems without coupling agents. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Fundamental foaming mechanisms governing the volume expansion of extruded polypropylene foams

This article describes the fundamental foaming mechanisms that governed the volume expansion behavior of extruded polypropylene (PP) foams. A careful analysis of extended experimental results indicated that the final volume expansion ratio of the extruded PP foams blown with butane was governed by either the loss of the blowing agent or the crystallization of the polymer matrix. A charge coupling device (CCD) camera was installed at the die exit to carefully monitor the shape of the extruded PP foams. The CCD images were analyzed to illustrate both mechanisms, gas loss and crystallization, during foaming at various temperatures, and the maximum expansion ratio was achieved when the governing mechanism was changed from one to the other. In general, the gas loss mode was dominant at high temperatures and the crystallization mode was dominant at low temperatures. When the gas loss mode was dominant, the volume expansion ratio increased with decreasing temperature because of the reduced amount of gas lost. By contrast, when the crystallization mode was dominant, the expansion ratio increased with increasing temperature because of the delayed solidification of the polymer. The processing window variation with the butane concentration, the change in the temperature ranges for the two governing modes, and the sensitivity of melt temperature variations to the volume expansion ratio are discussed in detail on the basis of the obtained experimental results for both branched and linear PP materials. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
