Study on phase behavior–impact strength relationship of unsaturated polyester/polyurethane hybrid polymer network

The phase behavior of a hybrid polymer network (HPN) composed of poly[(propylene glycol maleate)-co-(propylene glycol phthalate)] crosslinked with styrene and polyester–urethane crosslinked with methylene-bis-ortho-chloroaniline was examined. The correlation between phase separation and impact strength of the HPNs is discussed. The composition of HPNs has an effect on their properties.

Electrochemical,FTIR and morphological study of polypyrrole—Polystyrenesulphonate conducting films

The electrochemical behaviour, FTIR spectrum and the morphology of polypyrrole-polystyrenesulphonate (PPy-PSS) films obtained potentiostatically at 0.6 V in a 0.05m Py + 1.7 × 10^?2m NaPSS medium have been analysed. Different electrochemical parameters have been modified in order to establish the first polaron formation, the reversibility of the redox process and the doping mechanism. The FTIR spectrum confirms the existence of C?O groups in the film structure and two possible explanations are suggested. SEM reveals a higher homogeneity in these films than in PPy films doped with smaller counterions.     

Carbon fibre composites based on polyimide/silica ceramers: aspects of structure-properties relationship

Polyimide/silica ceramers, based on the products of the hydrolysis of tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) and a commercial poly(amic acid) solution, were used to fabricate unidirectional carbon fibre composites, which were subsequently evaluated with respect to thermal and mechanical properties. There is evidence to suggest that the silica component of these ceramers is present as dispersed discrete particles at low silica concentration (i.e. 7 wt%) and as fine interconnected domains trapped within the polyimide matrix at higher silica content (i.e. 14 wt%). The dimensions of the silica domains were in the region of 7–20 nm. Carbon fibre composites produced from ceramer solutions (CF/ceramers) were found to exhibit lower thermal expansion and a greater retention of flexural and interlaminar shear properties at elevated temperature than the corresponding polyimide-matrix composites (CF/polyimide). The properties of CF/ceramers were generally better for systems containing the higher amount of silica and were improved further by lowering the pH value of the precursor ceramer solution. This is believed to have resulted from the enhanced fluidity of the ceramer gel within the pre-impregnated fibres, giving rise to a higher packing density of the fibres and a more homogeneous distribution of fibres. CF/ceramers were also found to exhibit a better thermal oxidative stability at 350°C than the corresponding CF/polyimide, although a substantial amount of porosity developed in the case of ceramers with the higher silica content.

A spectroscopic study of the self-association and inter-molecular aggregation behaviour of pH-responsive poly(l-lysine iso-phthalamide)

The pH mediated intra-molecular association and inter-molecular aggregation of a range of amphiphilic poly(l-lysine iso-phthalamide) polymers have been investigated in aqueous solution over a range of pH values and concentrations. The desired functionality of these novel bioresponsive amphiphilic polymers was achieved by incorporating pendant hydrophilic carboxyl groups along the polymer backbone, via the l-lysine moiety, balanced by a degree of hydrophobicity introduced via the iso-phthaloyl moiety. Incorporation of low levels of bis-functional Cy3 (poly-Cy3) and/or Cy5 dye (poly-Cy3/5 or poly-Cy5) co-monomers in the responsive polymer backbone allowed detailed probing of the pH mediated hydrophobic association using a combination of optical spectroscopic techniques. Both steady-state fluorescence spectroscopy and fluorescence lifetime measurements of poly-Cy3 revealed a conformational transition at pH 4.5. Thus, below a critical pH the polymer collapsed into a compact globular structure (hypercoil) bringing the fluorophore molecules into close proximity with one another. This resulted in a dramatic reduction in fluorescence intensity and fluorescent lifetime in the single fluorophore systems (poly-Cy3) accompanied by a red shift in the maximum emission wavelength. Observed redshifts in the emission maxima and enhancements of fluorescent lifetimes with increasing polymer concentration suggested the formation of polymer aggregates. Fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) was measured in mixtures of single fluorophore containing poly-Cy3 (donor) and poly-Cy5 (acceptor) and dual fluorophore containing poly-Cy3 (donor)/Cy5 (acceptor) in an effort to distinguish between intra-molecular versus inter-molecular association. The relevance of the results with respect to potential in vivo applications (drug delivery and biodiagnostics) is discussed.     

Factors influencing the efficacy of an interfacial modifier for the interface in an immiscible polymer blend

The modification of the interface in immiscible polymer blends is critical in order to optimize physical properties. Despite the great commercial importance of polymer blends, many aspects of the emulsification process remain unclear In this paper, it will be shown that an emulsification curve can be used to estimate the influence of the architecture molar mass of styrene/hydrogenated butadiene block copolymer interfacial modifiers on the emulsifion of polystyrene/ethylene-propylene rubber blends under melt processing conditions. An expression for eing the critical amount of copolymer to saturate the interface, as well as aspects concerning the localisation of the modifier in the blend system will also be addressed.
