Poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) block copolymer is interesting because it is compatible with many polymers. A series of poly(methyl methacrylate)- b -poly( n -butyl acrylate) (PMMA- b -PnBA) diblock copolymers with various compositions was synthesized via reversible addition–fragmentation chain-transfer (RAFT) emulsion polymerization with the amphiphilic oligo(methacrylic acid 41 - b -methyl methacrylate 8 ) RAFT agent as both the polymerization mediator and surfactant. The molecular weights of the block copolymers agreed well with the theoretical prediction, although the polydispersity indices were relatively broad. The resulting core [poly( n -butyl acrylate)]–shell (PMMA) particles of PMMA- b -PnBA were found to be very effective impact modifiers for polycarbonate (PC). The diblock copolymer was well dispersed in 100–300-nm particles in the PC matrix, and the dispersed particle size was highly dependent on the block copolymer compositions. PMMA 250 - b -PnBA 550 (the subscripted number signifies the designed degree of polymerization), which was dispersed into 100-nm particles, presented the best capability for improving the impacting properties. Compared with the neat PC, the notched impact strength of PC toughened by 5 wt % PMMA 250 - b -PnBA 550 was increased by four times to 62.81 kJ/m 2 with the same yield strength, a slightly decreased modulus, an increased elongation at break, and an increased tensile strength. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

To take the advantage of reactivity of five-membered cyclic phosphorus compounds, 1,2,3-tri-phenyl-1,3,2-diazaphospholidine-2-oxide (TPDPO) was explored as a reactive flame retardant for epoxy resins (EPs). Through model compounds, it has been established that TPDPO selectively reacts with the secondary hydroxyl group and is inert toward both aryl amino groups and epoxide groups. The result of Soxhlet extraction supports that TPDPO is permanently bonded to the cured EPs. At a loading of only 8 wt % (0.74 wt % phosphorus), TPDPO enables the cured epoxy to achieve a UL-94 V0 rating. The thermogravimetric analysis–Fourier transform infrared analyses of the gaseous products suggest that the excellent flame retardancy of EP–TPDPO is partly due to the enhanced dehydration process of the epoxy. Also an increased char yield and the formation of a coherent char layer contribute to the good fire performance of EP–TPDPO. © 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym. Sci. 2020 , 137 , 47411.

Membrane-based technology is an attractive alternative in terms of CO 2 separation. Pebax-based membranes are regarded as potential candidates for CO 2 separation due to the favorable interaction between its poly (ethylene oxide) chains with CO 2 molecules and inorganic fillers. However, the separation performance for CO 2 /CH 4 mixture is still suffered from the moderate gas permeability and selectivity. To overcome this problem, in this work, amino-functionalized zeolite imidazolate framework (ZIF-7-NH 2 ) nanocrystals were used as fillers to blend with Pebax 1657 for fabricating mixed-matrix membranes (MMMs). XRD, Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET), scanning electron microscope, and 1 H nuclear magnetic resonance characterization indicated that ZIF-7-NH 2 with the highest crystallinity was synthesized. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and Young's modulus showed that it has good interfacial interaction. Gas separation test results showed that both the CO 2 permeability and CO 2 /CH 4 selectivity of the 31 wt% ZIF-7-NH 2 /Pebax MMMs increased by 80 and 170%, respectively. The improved performance is attributed to the addition of ZIF-7-NH 2 nanocrystals and the favorable interfacial interactions between the polymer and ZIF-7-NH 2 nanocrystals. Furthermore, the polyvinylidene fluoride supported hollow fiber composite membranes also exhibit the long-term stability for CO 2 /CH 4 separation.

To explore the application of shell powder (SP) in rubber, a dye-loaded SP (DSP) bio-filler based on SP and Congo red was incorporated into natural rubber (NR). The adsorption experiments demonstrated that the maximum monolayer adsorption capacity of Congo red onto SP was 69.3 mg/g. The effect of aluminate coupling agent and DSP was investigated by evaluating the cure characteristics, mechanical, thermal, and coloring properties of NR/DSP composites. It was suggested that the optimum amount of aluminate coupling agent was 2 wt %, and the best tensile strength (24.80 MPa) of vulcanizates was achieved at the DSP content of 20 phr, while other mechanical properties such as tear strength kept increasing with the addition of DSP. Furthermore, the improved thermal stability and uniform color distribution of the NR composites was obtained. The results indicate that DSP is promising to become a low-cost filler and pigment for rubber materials. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym. Sci. 2018 , 135 , 45750.

A novel mono-component intumescent flame retardant(m-IFR), called poly-(spirocyclic pentaerythritol bisphosphonate-1,3,5-triazine-O-bicyclic pentaerythritol phosphate) (PSTBP) was synthesized and characterized. PSTBP was used in polypropylene (PP) to obtain PP/PSTBP mixture whose flame retardancy, thermostability, and water resistance were studied by limiting oxygen index (LOI), vertical burning test (UL-94 V) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). In addition, flame-retardant mechanism of the PSTBP was investigated. The results showed that the residue of PSTBP reached 34.58% at 800°C and the volume of the PSTBP increased by dozens of times. When the content of PSTBP was 30.0 wt%, the PP/PSTBP mixture could achieve an LOI value of 32.5% and an UL-94 V-0 rating. Compared with PP/APP/PER system, PP/PSTBP mixture showed better water resistance. The TGA and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) results showed that PSTBP could generate free radicals and capture the free radicals of the thermal decomposition of PP, and form a dense, strong, and thick intumescent char on the substrate, thus effectively retard the degradation and combustion of PP.

Hyperbranched polymers have been found effective in controlling the dispersibility of carbon nanotubes in aqueous solutions. In this study, hyperbranched polylysine (HBPL) was synthesized using lysine and N,N ′-methylenebisacrylamide as precursors via Michael addition. The HBPL then was used to noncovalently modify multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) to prepare MWCNTs-HBPL. The obtained MWCNTs-HBPL composites were characterized using FTIR spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, and scanning electron microscopy. The results showed that the HBPL was successfully attached to the surface of MWCNTs via noncovalent interactions. The dispersibility of the MWCNTs-HBPL composites in aqueous solutions was investigated using digital photographs, ultraviolet–visible absorption spectroscopy, and zeta potential measurements. The results demonstrated that both the mass ratio of MWCNT to HBPL and the pH of the solution had a significant impact on the dispersibility of the MWCNTs/HBPL solution, suggesting that HBPL treatment is an effective method of controlling the dispersibility of MWCNTs in aqueous solutions. © 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Through one-step copolymerization of 4-(4-[1-morpholinyl]phenyl)-2,6-bis(4-aminophenyl)pyridine (MPAP), 9,9-bis(4-aminophenyl)fluorene (BAFL), and (4,4′-hexafluoroisopropylidene)diphthalic anhydride (6FDA), a series of polyimides containing morpholine group, pyridine ring, fluorene “cardo” pendant and hexafluoroisopropyl group are obtained. The synthesized polyimides have good thermal stability, high transparency, outstanding hydrophobicity and excellent solubility in not only high-boiling solvents but also low boiling-point solvents. Furthermore, polyimide films have large molecular chain spacing, which is consistent with the free volume calculated by molecular simulation. Consequently, polyimide membranes display better gas permeability values of CO 2 (up to 24.47 Barrer) and He (up to 45.04 Barrer), and good ideal gas selectivity values of CO 2 /N 2 (up to 15.33 Barrer) and He/N 2 (up to 23.89 Barrer), which also shows potential application of polyimide matrix materials in gas separation.

The cross-linking degree (crystallinity) and proton sources of conductors strongly impacts proton-conducting properties, but the attention is still limited, especially for covalent-organic frameworks. Here, we prepared a couple of cross-linking degrees of Schiff-Based Network by solvothermal (high surface specific area, SNW-S) and microwave-assisted (low cross-linking structure, SNW-M) strategies, respectively; subsequently, Brønsted acids (BAs)-entrapped Schiff-Based Network (SNW) composites as fillers are blended into polyvinyl pyrrolidone/poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PP) blends to form hybrid membranes. Varied crystalline degrees and microstructures of the SNWs are monitored by XRD, FTIR, and nitrogen adsorption, coupled with relevant conduction measurements like water uptake and proton conductivity (PC) for the composites and hybrid membranes. Structurally, under the aid of “acid–base pairs” between amine groups in Schiff-Based Network and Brønsted acids as proton carriers, the resulting H 2 SO 4 -incorporated SNW-M with poor cross-linking displays the high proton conductivity (4.96 × 10 −3 S/cm) with an activation energy of 0.13 eV, whereas H 2 SO 4 and H 3 PO 4 -incorporated SNW-S appear the relatively lower conductivities, imputable to the differences in the cross-linking degree of Schiff-Based Network and interactions between proton carriers and active sites in Schiff-Based Network. Additionally, the hybrid membranes also show σ values in the identical level of the composites, reaching to 8.02 × 10 −3 S/cm at 323 K.

A novel method was used to synthesis nanosilica/waterborne polyurethane (WPU) hybrids by in situ hydrolysis and condensation of tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) and/or 3-aminopropyltriethoxylsilane bonding at the end of the WPU molecular chain. The hybrid was characterized by scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), transmission electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The results showed that the nanosilica/WPU hybrids with well-dispersed nanosilica particles were synthesized, in which the particles had typical diameters of about 50 nm. In addition, XPS and FTIR analyses demonstrated that chemical interaction occurred between WPU and silica. The effects of TEOS on surface wettability, water resistance, mechanical strength, and thermal properties of the hybrid were also evaluated by contact angle measurements, water absorption tests, mechanical tests, and differential scanning calorimetry, respectively. An increase in advancing contact angles, water resistance, and tensile strength, as well as decrease in elongation at break and glass transition temperature, were obtained with the addition of TEOS. Water absorption decreased from 17.3 to 5.5%. The tensile strength increased to a maximum of 29.7 MPa, an increase of about 34%. Elongations at break of the hybrids decreased 191%. These results were attributed to the effects of the nanosilica and the chemical interaction between WPU and silica. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym. Sci., 2013

The continuously reinforced carbon nanotube woven film (CNWF) prepared via the floating catalytic chemical vapor deposition (FCCVD) was modified by mixed acid and vinyltrimethoxysilane (VTMS) respectively to obtain carbon nanotube woven film (CNWF@VTMS) grafted with CH 2 CH group. A series of novel self-supporting composite electrode materials (CNWF@VTMS/PANI) for supercapacitors were then prepared by in-situ chemical oxidative polymerization of aniline in the presence of the CNWF@VTMS film substrate as a conductive network framework. The results showed that CNWF@VTMS/PANI 14 flexible electrode with grape-clustered structure exhibited the highest specific capacitance of 531.3 F/g and the highest energy density of 26.5 Wh/kg at the current density of 1 A/g. It could maintain 75.1% of the initial value at a high current density of 10 A/g. The excellent electrochemical cycle and the structural stability have been confirmed on the condition of the higher capacitance retention of 96.6% after 2000 times of galvanostatic charge/discharge, and the almost unchanged electrochemical performances after 300 times of bending and twisting. Meanwhile, the stronger interfacial bonding between CNWF and PANI endowed a higher tensile strength of 129.2 MPa. In this article, CNWF@VTMS/PANI 14 composite electrode could be a potential application in the field of deformable supercapacitors.

Poly(ether ether ketone) with pendent sulfonimide groups (B-SPEEK) was prepared from poly(ether ether ketone), sulfuric acid, thionyl chloride, para -toluene sulfonate, and pyridine. The prepared B-SPEEK was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, 1 H-NMR, and thermogravimetric analysis. The swelling of the gels was examined in N,N -dimethylacetamide (DMAC), N,N -dimethylformamide (DMF), 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone (NMP), dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), and a DMSO/water mixture. The gel showed extremely high swelling in DMSO, DMF, DMAC, and NMP. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym. Sci. 130: 1058-1063, 2013

Activated carbon/chitosan composite has been used as an adsorbent to remove aniline and Cr(VI) ions from aqueous solutions simultaneously. The effects of preparation conditions such as the ratio of activated carbon to chitosan, crosslinking reagents, crosslinking time, and adsorption conditions including adsorbent dosage, pH value of solution, and contact time on simultaneous adsorption of aniline and Cr(VI) ion were investigated. Experimental results showed that epichlorohydrin was the proper crosslinking reagent, and the ratio of activated carbon to chitosan was kept at 1. When the adsorbent dosage was 4.0 g/L, and the concentrations of aniline and Cr(VI) were lower than 50 and 100 mg/L, respectively, both aniline and Cr(VI) were simultaneously removed at natural pH with high removals (>95%). The presence of Cr(VI) enhanced the adsorption of aniline, while the presence of aniline almost had no influence on the adsorption of Cr(VI). The adsorption processes of both aniline and Cr(VI) followed the pseudo-second-order kinetics model, but the sorption of Cr(VI) was preferential to that of aniline by this composite. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
