    Notes: A high-temperature radical scavenger, 2,2-diphenyl-l-picryl hydrazyl (DPPH), has been used to study the reaction mechanisms of polyacrylonitrile (PAN) on thermal treatment. The effect of DPPH on the cyclization reaction of PAN in both air and nitrogen, investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), helped to verify the proposed reaction mechanisms, i.e., the free radical and the ionic ones. For PAN homopolymer, the peak temperature of the reaction exotherm shifted to higher temperatures and the heat of reaction was decreased with increasing DPPH concentration. For PAN copolymer with methylacrylate and itaconic acid, however, the effects of DPPH on DSC thermograms were insignificant. The effects of IPPH suggest that the reaction of the nitrile groups proceeds by free radicals for the homopolymer while by ions for the copolymer. The activation energies for the thermal reactions of PAN in both air and nitrogen were also estimated by the dynamic DSC method, and they proved to be highly dependent on reaction mechanism, environment of thermal treatment, and DPPH concentration.

    Notes: Systematic changes of drying conditions of poly(acrylic acid) were tested to study their effect on the glass transition of the material. The materials were synthesized in two different mediums of water and benzene, respectively. The glass transition temperatures of the samples were determined by thermal analysis using DSC. The samples were also characterized by IR spectra. The glass transition of poly(acrylic acid) was found to be significantly dependent on the drying conditions and also dependent on the medium in which poly(acrylic acid) was prepared. The anhydride formation in poly(acrylic acid) was increased as the drying temperature was raised, resulting in the increase of the glass transition temperature. The “bound” water involved in the preparation of poly(acrylic acid) in water medium could affect significantly the glass transition of the sample. A significant discrepancy in the previously reported values of the glass transition temperature of poly(acrylic acid) seems to be due to the differences in the drying conditions of the materials.

    Notes: Nucleation effects of two sorbitol derivatives on the crystallization of isotactic polypropylene (iPP) were studied by means of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and polarized optical microscopy (POM). A nonisothermal crystallization kinetic equation was employed to analyze the crystallization characteristics of iPP with or without the nucleating agents from DSC crystallization thermograms. The equilibrium melting temperature of iPP necessary for the kinetic study was obtained by the extrapolation method to be 209°C. The nonisothermal crystallization kinetic analysis for the unnucleated iPP at different cooling rates was possible by assuming the spherulite growth initiated simultaneously by heterogeneous and homogeneous nucleation. On the other hand, the crystallization kinetics of the nucleated iPP could be described by the heterogeneous nucleation and growth process alone. The addition of the nucleating agents up to their saturation concentrations in iPP increased the crystallization peak temperature by 17°C, and the number of effective nuclei by three orders of magnitude. A high concentration of the nucleating agents caused agglomeration of the agents to lower the number of effective nuclei.

    Notes: The temperature dependence of the nucleation effect of three sorbitol derivatives on the crystallization of isotactic polypropylene (iPP) was studied by means of isothermal crystallization kinetic analysis. Isothermal crystallization thermograms obtained by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) were analyzed based on the Avrami equation. The Avrami analysis for the nucleated iPP was carried out with DSC data collected to 35% relative crystallinity, and the rate constants were corrected assuming the heterogeneous nucleation and three dimensional growth of iPP spherulites. A semi-empirical equation for the radial growth rate of iPP spherulites was given as a function of temperature and was used to determine the number of effective nuclei at different temperatures. The number of effective nuclei in the nucleated samples was estimated to be 3 × 102 ∽ 105 times larger than that in the neat iPP. The logarithmic numbers of the effective nuclei decreased linearly with decreasing degree of supercooling in the range of crystallization temperatures tested. The temperature dependence of the effect of the nucleating agents on iPP crystallization was given quantitatively in terms of the deactivation factor defined as a fraction of the particles that are active at a particular temperature but inert at the temperature one degree higher. The nucleation activity and its temperature dependence are considered to be cooperative effects of many factors, including the dispersion and the physical or chemical nature of the agent as well as the interaction between the agent and the polymer. It is suggested that the temperature dependence of the effect of a nucleating agent should be treated as a characteristic of a given polymer/ nucleating agent mixture.

    Notes: An engineering analysis of reaction injection molding (RIM) process of epoxy resin was carried out through numerical simulation and actual experiment. In order to simulate the RIM process, and reaction kinetics and the viscosity function of the epoxy system were obtained from thermal analysis and rheological measurement, and the balance equations of the chemical species, momentum, and energy within a mold cavity were set up in cylindrical coordinates. As the result of the simulation, the temperature and conversion profiles within a disc type mold were obtained and a moldability analysis was made to find the optimum molding conditions. The temperature change during the curing reaction, at a fixed point within the mold cavity, was measured through the actual RIM experiment on a small scale, and was compared with the simulated results.

    Notes: The curing and vitrification effect during the reaction of ATBN modified epoxy resin was studied through the dynamic differential scanning calorimetry method and a new reaction kinetic equation containing generalized WLF equation was developed to describe the reaction rate at both glassy and rubbery state. An autocatalytic mechanism was found to describe adequately the cure kinetics of the rubber modified epoxy resin and the overall order of reaction was assumed to be 2. The kinetic parameters were determined from the DSC data through the Marquardt's multivariable nonlinear regression method and Runge-Kutta integration technique. The presence of rubber indicated minor effect on the cure kinetics of epoxy resin. The Arrhenius type viscosity function was employed to establish a relationship between viscosity data measured by RMS and chemical conversion calculated from the reaction kinetic equation.

    Notes: The control of miscibility for isotactic polypropylene (PP) and ethylene-propylene-diene terpolymer (EPDM) has been attempted by adding poly(ethylene-comethacrylic acid) (EMA) ionomers and by applying dynamic vulcanization. The rheological properties, crystallization behavior, and morphology of the dynamically vulcanized EPDM/PP/ionomer ternary blends were investigated with a Rheometrics dynamic spectrometer (RDS), a differential scanning calorimeter (DSC), and a scanning electron microscope (SEM). Two kinds of EMA ionomers neutralized with different metal ions (Na+ and ZN++) were investigated. Blends were prepared on a laboratory internal mixer at 190°C. Blending and curing were performed simultaneously, i.e., EPDM was vulcanized with dicumyl peroxide (DCP) in the presence of PP/ionomer. The composition of PP and EPDM was fixed at 50/50 by wt% and the contents of EMA ionomer were vaired from 5 to 20 parts based on the total amount of PP and EPDM. It was found that the addition of ionomers and the application of the dynamic vulcanization were effective in enhancing the miscibility of PP and EPDM. The structure of the blends was controlled by the following three component phases, i.e., the phase of the dynamially valcanized EPDM, PP, and Zn-neutralized ionomer. The ternary blends showed more miscibility than the PP/EPDM binary blend. This is due to the thermoplastic interpenetrating polymer network (IPN) of the ternary blends. The structure and properties of the ternary blends differed, depending on the types and contents of ionomer, i.e., the ternary blend containing Na-neutralized ionomer did not show a thermoplastic IPN structure clearly, even though the blend was prepared by dynamic vulcanization. The ternary blend containing Zn-neutralized ionomer clearly showed the behavior of a thermoplastic IPN when the contents of ionomer and DCP were 15 parts and 1.0 part, respectively.

    Notes: A computer simulation model was developed to analyze the reaction injection molding (RIM) process of polyurethane and unsaturated polyester blends. The reaction kinetics and viscosity functions of each component were obtained through actual experiments, and a mathematical scheme for numerical calculation was set up in cylindrical coordinates to predict the temperature and conversion profiles within a disc-type mold. The temperature change calculated from the simulation was compared with the temperature rise measured in actual RIM experiments. The effects of the feed temperature, wall temperature, and catalyst levels on the maximum exothermic temperature and the demolding time were evaluated in a search for the optimum processing conditions.

    Notes: The mechanical properties of polyurethane-unsaturated polyester interpenetrating polymer networks (IPNs) that were prepared by reaction injection molding (RIM) process were measured with variations In composition, cross-link density, and relative reaction rate. From dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA), it was found that the two component polymers had a good compatibility over the whole composition range. The tensile strengths of the blends were greater than those of the pure components and had a maximum value at 50/50 composition. The modulus of elasticity and surface hardness decreased and the impact strength increased as the polyurethane content was increased, but the changes were not high at low polyurethane content, below 50%. For higher cross-link density, the compatibility was enhanced and the mechanical properties were improved. When the reaction rates of the components were different, some extent of phase separation was found in DMA and the properties were affected adversely.

    Notes: Binary blends of ethylene vinyl alcohol copolymers, containing 62 (EVOH-62) and 71 (EVOH-71) mole percent vinyl alcohols, with nylons (nylon-6, nylon-6/12, and nylon-12) have been prepared from melt mixing in a twin screw compounding machine. Morphological, thermal, rheological, and mechanical properties were determined. EVOH-62/nylon-6 and EVOH-71/nylon-6 blends showed homogeneous phase morphologies in the nylon-6-rich region, and fine phase separations (c.a. 2 × 10-7 m) in the EVOH-rich region. Melting point depression, positive deviations in viscosity and flexural modulus, and negative deviation in impact strength from the simple additive rule were generally observed. And the results were possibly interpreted in terms of compatibility and increased nylon/EVOH interactions over the nylon/nylon interactions. On the contrary, clean phase separations in large domains were observed from EVOH-71/nylon-6/12 and EVOH-71 /nylon-12 blends. Fibrillation was also obtained from EVOH rich blends. Probably due to the incompatible nature of these blends, yield at low rate of shear and a mechanical property drop were also observed.
