Effects of a Nd—Fe—B magnetic filler on the crystallization of poly(phenylene sulfide)

The crystallization of poly(phenylene sulfide) (PPS) in a polymer–magnetic Nd—Fe—B powder suspension was studied. Isothermal crystallization behavior was analyzed by way of differential scanning calorimetry, and the kinetics were described via the Avrami equation. The Avrami parameters and the crystallization times were strongly affected by both the particle size and the presence of a coupling agent coated on the filler particles. The small Nd—Fe—B particles exhibited long induction and half‐times, whereas the large particles tended to have short crystallization times. Particles ranging from 38 to 150 μ appeared to have similar crystallization times and to have no significant change in the value of Avrami index with melt crystallization temperature. As a result of these analyses, the dynamic mechanical properties were determined to correlate the fundamental polymer crystallization characteristics and the physical properties of the PPS binder. The enhancement of the wetting of the filler to the binder was promoted through the coupling agent, as confirmed by dynamic mechanical testing performed on the samples. The storage modulus typically decreased because of the presence of the uncoated small particles. Conversely, the loss modulus was enhanced because of the presence of the coated small particles in the PPS binder. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 83: 1091–1102, 2002

Modified Imidazoles: Degradation Inhibitors and Adhesion Promoters for Polyimide Films on Copper Substrates

Polyimide films on copper substrates that are exposed to elevated temperatures and an oxidizing environment will be subject to degradation. In order to halt this degradation without changing the properties of the system, a polymeric agent could be placed between the polyimide and the copper. This paper will investigate three such materials that will not only slow down the degradation of the polyimide and the oxidation of the copper, but will also improve adhesion within the system. Fourier transform infrared reflection-absorption spectroscopy (FTIR-RAS) will be used to investigate the polyimide/polymeric agent/copper system.     

硅烷交联超高分子量聚乙烯

采用硅烷对超高分子量聚乙烯(UHMWPE)进行交联改性，系统地研究了交联UHMWPE的凝胶率、熔点、结晶度、力学性能与耐磨性。结果表明，硅烷偶联剂导致了UHMWPE的交联，使UHMWPE的凝胶率提高。当硅烷含量较低时，UHMWPE的熔点增高、结晶度增大；当硅烷含量较高时，UHMWPE的熔点、结晶度呈下降的趋势；硅烷交联导致了UHMWPE材料的模量和强度提高，磨耗率降低；当硅烷含量较高时，交联UHMWPE材料的力学性能和磨耗率均变差；当硅烷含量为0．2份～0．4份时，交联UHMWPE材料的综合性能最佳。     

The Structure of the Irreversibly Bound Adhesion Promoter-Substrate Interfacial Layer of γ-Aminopropylsilanetriol on Crystalline Si, as Measured by XPS and FTIR

The irreversibly bound interfacial layer deposited by the γ-aminopropysilanetriol adhesion promoter onto a crystalline silicon substrate, which remains even after profuse washing, was found by XPS to have resulted from the fragmentation and rearrangement of the original γ-aminopropylsilanetriol molecule. A mechanism is proposed, involving the homolytic scission of the terminal N-C bond. One of the subsequent reactions is believed to involve hydrogen loss by abstraction and the formation of a terminal vinyl group, which bonds to the substrate. Support for this mechanism is found in IR spectroscopy of this layer.

The Effects of Phenyltrimethoxysilane Coupling Agents on the Properties of PTFE/Silica Composites

A study on PTFE reinforced with SiO₂ was described. This study included the manufactural process of SiO₂-reinforced PTFE and the effects of the content of silane (Z6124) on the properties of the composites material, such as thermal, dielectric properties, tensile strength and morphology, etc. PTFE/silica composites of 60 wt% SiO₂ loaded with a different coupling agent content were mixed by a high-speed dispersion machine and prepared by a two-roll milling machine. Our results show that the sample treated with 3 wt% silane has the highest tensile strength and optimum dielectric properties. Furthermore, the tensile strength and coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) increase, and the water absorption decreases, with an increasing silane content. These experiments reveal that silane treatment can reduce the overall hydrophilicity of the composites. Finally, predictions on dielectric and CTE properties are discussed. It has been found that experimental values of the dielectric constant agree well with those predicted by the rule of mixture.     

Effects of mixing conditions on the reaction of 3‐octanoylthio‐1‐propyltriethoxysilane during mixing with silica filler and natural rubber

The effects of mixing temperature and mixing time on the reaction of 3‐octanoylthio‐1‐propyltriethoxysilane (NXT silane) during mixing with precipitated silica and natural rubber (NR) were investigated. Results showed that the reaction between NXT silane and precipitated silica can proceed at temperatures above 130°C. Because of the blocking group of NXT silane, the silane–NR coupling reactivity is low, so that the reaction of NXT silane with NR occurs only during the curing period. There is no reaction between NXT silane and NR during mixing, which showed that the mixing time of silica‐filled NR compound containing NXT silane must be longer than 10 min at 150°C to obtain the desired silane coupling efficiency. With increasing mill temperature, the coupling efficiency increases. A high mixing temperature promotes improvement of silane–silica coupling efficiency, although the tensile strength, 100% modulus, 300% modulus, and hardness of NR vulcanizates decrease. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
