Morphology,thermal and mechanical performance of epoxy/polysulfone composites improved by curing with two different aromatic diamines

Epoxy/polysufone (PSF) composites cured with 4,4'-diaminodiphenyl sulfone (DDS) and 4,4'-diaminodiphenyl methane (DDM) were fabricated, and the effect of dual curing reaction of diamines with epoxy on morphology, mechanical, and thermal performance was investigated. DSC results indicated that DDM was more reactive than DDS and the activation energy decreased with the rising of DDM content. Structures with small domain size at the early stage of phase separation were fixed by the fast epoxy-DDM reaction. When the DDM content was elevated to a high level, large dual structures were changed to fine bicontinuous structures, which was favorable to improve the mechanical property. The mechanical performance of epoxy composites was enhanced and the maximum values were achieved when the DDM/DDS ratio was located at 75/25 (PSF/DDS0.25-DDM0.75). The flexural and tensile strength relative to epoxy/DDM system were enhanced more than those relative to epoxy/DDS, while the increase in toughness was the opposite. TGA measurement showed that thermal stability of epoxy/PSF composites was improved because of the restricting effect of continuous PSF domains on thermal motion of epoxy. DMA analysis exhibited two relaxation peaks for PSF/DDS0.25-DDM0.75, which could be attributed to the formation of phase separated morphology and epoxy network with different cross-link density.     

Subtle variations in the structure of crosslinked epoxy networks and the impact upon mechanical and thermal properties

Presented here is an investigation of the structure–property relationships of crosslinked networks using three bi-functional glycidyl ether aromatic epoxy resins, two bi-aryl and one tri-aryl, cured with bi- and tri-aryl amines. Subtle changes to the monomer chemistry including changing aromatic substitution patterns from meta to para, methylene to isopropyl and isopropyl to ether were explored. Changing an epoxy resin backbone from methylene to isopropyl enhances backbone rigidity thus increasing glass transition temperature (T_g), yield strength, and strain despite reducing modulus. Changing meta-substitution to para increases T_g and yield strain while leaving strength unaffected and reducing modulus. Changing isopropyl linkages to ether reduces modulus, strength, T_g, and yield strain reflecting increased molecular flexibility. Using three instead of two aromatic rings increases the molecular weight between crosslinks thereby decreasing T_g and yield strain while increasing modulus and strength. Despite the complexities of multiple systems for varying epoxy resins and amine hardeners, the effect upon network properties is explained in terms of short- and long-range molecular and segmental mobility, crosslink density, and equilibrium packing density. © 2020 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Effects of modified silica on the co-vulcanization kinetics and mechanical performances of natural rubber/styrene–butadiene rubber blends

Rubber blends are widely used for combining the advantages of each rubber component. However, to date, how to determine and distinguish the vulcanization kinetics for each single rubber phase in rubber blends during the co-vulcanization process is still a challenge. Herein, high-resolution pyrolysis gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (HR PyGC-MS) was employed for the first time to investigate the vulcanization kinetics of natural rubber (NR) and styrene–butadiene rubber (SBR) in NR/SBR blends filled with modified silica (SiO₂). The reaction rates of crosslinking of each rubber phase in NR/SBR were calculated, which showed that the crosslinking rates of NR were much lower than those of SBR phase in the unfilled blends and blends filled with unmodified and silane modified silica. Interestingly, the vulcanization rates of NR and SBR phase were approximately same in the vulcanization accelerator modified silica filled blends, showing better co-vulcanization. In addition, the vulcanization accelerator modified silica was uniformly dispersed and endowed rubber blends with higher mechanical strength compared to the untreated silica. © 2019 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
