    Notes: The phase separation behavior and the morphology of polyetherimide (PEI)-modified diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A (DGEBA) epoxy resin were studied using scanning electron microscopy and light scattering. Reaction kinetics, cloud point and onset of gelation were determined by differential scanning calorimeter, optical microscope and physica rheometer, respectively. The mixture of partially cured epoxy and PEI showed bimodal upper critical solution temperature (UCST) behavior. For PEI content smaller than 10 wt%, the blends exhibited a sea-island morphology formed via nucleation and a growth mechanism. Above 25 wt% PEI content, the phase separation proceeded via a spinodal decomposition mechanism and a nodular structure was formed. With PEI content between 15 and 20 wt%, dual phase morphology was observed. This morphology was formed via primary spinodal decomposition and secondary phase separation within the dispersed phases and the matrix phases formed by the primary phase separation. This morphology was presumed to be formed in the reaction-induced phase separation mechanism with the mixture showing bimodal UCST behavior. The curing temperature had an effect on the final morphology, and the modulus of PEI-modified epoxy was influenced by the phase separation.

    Notes: In this article the morphology control of poly(ethyl acrylate)/poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) semi-interpenetrating polymer networks (IPNs) has been attempted either by changing reaction temperature or by adding the third component at the initial stage of phase separation. The morphological variation was followed via dynamic mechanical behavior and electron microscopy. It was found that raising the polymerization temperature of PMMA or adding linear PMMA to the initial mixture facilitates phase separation during the semi-IPNs formation process. However, the phase separation was further induced by annealing, which indicates that kinetically controlled morphology was not at its equilibrium state. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: It is well established that both molecular weight (M) and its distribution (MD) affect many polymer properties such as mechanical behavior. Thus studies have shown that fatigue life is enhanced by increases in M. Research here has shown that with notched specimens fatigue crack propagation (FCP) rates are dramatically decreased by increasing M, even when the M is high enough that the static fraeture energy has essentially reached its asymptotic limit. In this study, specimens of poly(methyl methacrylate) containing either high- or low-M tails were prepared and characterized. The earlier finding that FCP rates are inversely related to average M was confirmed, but specific effects of M distribution were observed. At constant Mn, a low-M tail had little effect on FCP resistance, while a high-M tail improved FCP resistance of polymers whose average M was too low for effective entanglements. Thus with high-M tails, it was possible to test specimens whose average M's were too low to permit machining. It is proposed that the effects noted are due to relative stabilization or destabilization of crazes ahead of the crack.

    Notes: Two component interpenetrating polymer networks (IPN) of the SIN type (simultaneous interpenetrating networks), composed of a polystyrene network (crosslinked with divinyl benzene) and a polyester-polyurethane network (crosslinked with trimethylolpropane), were made. Electron microscopy and glass-transition measurements showed that phase separation had resulted with some interpenetration, presumably occurring at the boundaries. At a composition of about 75 percent polyurethane, a phase inversion occurred, the continuous phase being polystyrene at polyurethane compositions of less than 75 percent. The stress-strain properties and hardness measurements agreed with these results. Enhanced tensile strength was observed in the IPN's in a concentration range where modulus reinforcement was not evident. A small enhancement in tear strength and thermal stability was also noted.

    Notes: In spite of the importance of fatigue behavior in engineering plastics, relatively few fundamental studies have been made of the effects of polymer structure, molecular weight, composition, and morphology on fatigue crack propagation (FCP). As, part of a broad program for the study of such effects, the role of molecular weight and internal plasticization has been studied in poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) which had been specially prepared and characterized with respect to molecular weight, dynamic mechanical behavior, and, in some cases, stress-strain response. As expected, values of fracture toughness, Kc, varied considerably as the molecular weight was rai ed, from 0.7 MPa, √m at Mv = 1.0 × 105 to 1.1 at Mv, = 4.8 × 106. However, a specific effect of fatigue was noted: over the same range of Kc, values of FCP rate decreased by two orders of magnitude as molecular weight was; increased. It is proposed that this high sensitivity is due to differences in the degree of chain disentanglement effected by the cyclic loading, with consequent differences in the strength of the craze preceding the crack. With PMMA plasticized internally with a low level (10 percent) of n-butyl acrylate (nBA), the FCP rate and Kc, were similar to those of controls, with very high rates shown. At higher nBA levels (up to 30 percent), the sensitivity of FCP rate to stress intensity factor range decreased considerably, Kc, increased by 30 percent and the pre-exponential constant in the growth rate law increased. Plasticization weakens the polymer but at high degrees leads to enough hysteretic heating to induce local creep and crack blunting.

    Notes: Glassy shell-rubbery core polymer particles, 0.1 to 0.2 μm in diameter, increase the plane strain JIC values of 3.175 mm thick polycarbonate from 3.05 kJ/m2 (no particles) to 9.5 kJ/m2 (7.5 phr particles) at 23°C. Some modest decreases in these values are caused by tests at -20°C in samples 9.525 and 3.175 mm thick. If only the particle concentration is varied, JIC increases monotonically to 7.5 phr (by wt), then levels off or decreases slightly at 10.0 phr. The total volume of 1 to 2 μm diameter cavities formed in the matrix by the apparently unbonded particles behaves similarly; cavity volume and JIC are directly related. With increasing particle concentration the tensile modulus is unchanged, the yield stress and strain decrease modestly, the strain at fracture decreases appreciably, and the heat recoverable orientation in the fractured samples decreases. Few cavities are formed. The particles reduce the extent of shear deformation in the tensile samples.

    Notes: The JIC values for core-shell-particle-toughened polycarbonate were determined at different temperatures and at 0, 2.5, 5.0, 7.5, and 10.0 phr particle content by six similar methods, using compact tensile specimens. At the 2.5 phr toughener level, the JIC values ranged from 2878 to 6100 J/m2, and at 7.5 phr, they ranged from 6125 to 10,760 J/m2, dependent only upon how the same JI-Δ a data were interpreted. This indicates that more work will be required before a reliable method of JIC measurement that can be applied to tough polymers is achieved.

    Notes: Although crosslinked networks are commonly used as adhesives and composite matrixes, structure-property relationships are not as well established as with thermoplastics. For this reason, an extensive study was begun to systematically examine effects of stoichiometry, morphology, and distribution of crosslink density on viscoelastic behavior and ultimate properties. The system selected was based on a bisphenol-A-type epoxy cured with methylene dianiline. This paper describes and discusses results obtained for resins in which the amine/epoxy ratio ranged between 0.7 and 2.2. In agreement with reports by others, the tensile strength, modulus, and ultimate elongation were relatively insensitive to stoichiometry but did not show slight maxima or minima when the amine was somewhat in excess. Impact strengths, tensile energies-to-break and fracture toughness were, in contrast, quite sensitive, though the patterns of each differed significantly. Both fracture toughness and the stress intensity factor required to drive the crack at a given rate varied directly with the amine/epoxy ratio, as did estimates of the characteristic flaw size. Fatigue striations were observed on the fracture surfaces and corresponded to the incremental advance of the crack in one loading cycle.

    Notes: Using immobilized glucose isomerase, the effects of superficial velocity of the reaction solution flowing through a packed-bed reactor on the apparent kinetic constants of reversible reaction system were studied. The results showed that the apparent kinetic constants, both Vm″ and Km″, of the forward reaction varied significantly as the superficial velocity is changed, whereas those of the reverse reaction varied only slightly. Using the kinetic data determined experimentally, computer simulation of the enzyme reactor performance was carried out, and the importance of the external mass transfer in the proximity of immobilized-enzyme particles was recognized. The reactor performance, expressed in terms of productivity, was examined as a function of the reactor height-to-diameter ratio, H/D. The productivity of the reactor system goes through a maximum value at a H/D ratio of about 1.6. and decreases as the H/D ratio increases. Theoretical analysis of the reaction kinetics of immobilized-enzyme system that has reversible reaction kinetics is also presented. The experimental results showed good agreement with the results found from the theoretical analysis and the computer simulation studies. Based on the principles of the methods and the results presented in this paper, it is anticipated that one can predict the optimal design and operating conditions for the glucose isomerase reactor system and that application of the results could be extended to other enzyme systems with reversible reaction kinetics.
