Survey data on thermal properties of different hyperbranched polymers (HBPs) and on morphological and thermal analysis of the corresponding epoxy matrix nanocomposites.

ABSTRACT: The following data describe the thermal properties of two different typologies of Hyperbranched Polymers (HBPs): the first one is a polyester (HBPG - Hyperbranched Polymer Glassy) with a glass transition temperature (T_g) higher than room temperature (?90 °C) whereas the second one is a polyamide ester (HBPR - Hyperbranched Polymer Rubbery) characterized by T_g of about 20 °C. The nanocomposites manufactured using these HBPs as filler were characterized using Optical Microscopy and Differential Scanning Calorimetry. The raw data for the evaluation of fracture toughness properties are reported for the listed materials. This article provides data related to "The effect of Glassy and Rubbery Hyperbranched Polymers as Modifiers in Epoxy Aeronautical Systems" (Zotti et al.).

Molecular Mobility in Hyperbranched Polymers and Their Interaction with an Epoxy Matrix.

Project description:The molecular mobility related to the glass transition and secondary relaxations in a hyperbranched polyethyleneimine, HBPEI, and its relaxation behaviour when incorporated into an epoxy resin matrix are investigated by dielectric relaxation spectroscopy (DRS) and dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA). Three systems are analysed: HBPEI, epoxy and an epoxy/HBPEI mixture, denoted ELP. The DRS behaviour is monitored in the ELP system in three stages: prior to curing, during curing, and in the fully cured system. In the stage prior to curing, DRS measurements show three dipolar relaxations: γ, β and α, for all systems (HBPEI, epoxy and ELP). The α-relaxation for the ELP system deviates significantly from that for HBPEI, but superposes on that for the epoxy resin. The fully cured thermoset displays both β- and α-relaxations. In DMA measurements, both α- and β-relaxations are observed in all systems and in both the uncured and fully cured systems, similar to the behaviour identified by DRS.

Thermal and Flame Retardant Properties of Phosphate-Functionalized Silica/Epoxy Nanocomposites.

Project description:We report a flame retardant epoxy nanocomposite reinforced with 9,10-dihydro-9-oxa-10-phosphaphenantrene-10-oxide (DOPO)-tethered SiO2 (DOPO-t-SiO2) hybrid nanoparticles (NPs). The DOPO-t-SiO2 NPs were successfully synthesized through surface treatment of SiO2 NPs with (3-glycidyloxypropyl)trimethoxysilane (GPTMS), followed by a click reaction between GPTMS on SiO2 and DOPO. The epoxy nanocomposites with DOPO-t-SiO2 NPs as multifunctional additive exhibited not only high flexural strength and fracture toughness but also excellent flame retardant properties and thermal stability, compared to those of pristine epoxy and epoxy nanocomposites with a single additive of SiO2 or DOPO, respectively. Our approach allows a facile, yet effective strategy to synthesize a functional hybrid additive for developing flame retardant nanocomposites.

Membrane Functionalization with Hyperbranched Polymers.

Project description:Polymer membranes have been modified with hyperbranched polymers with the aim to generate a high density of hydrophilic functional groups at the membrane surface. For this purpose hyperbranched polymers containing amino, alcohol, and carboxylic acid end groups were used for membrane modification, respectively. Thus, surface potential and charges were changed significantly to result in attractive or repulsive interactions towards three different proteins (albumin, lysozyme, myoglobin) that were used to indicate membrane fouling properties. Our studies demonstrated that hydrophilization alone is not effective for avoiding membrane fouling when charged proteins are present. In contrast, electrostatic repulsion seems to be a general key factor.

Multiple-Responsive Dendronized Hyperbranched Polymers.

Project description:By combining topological structures of hyperbranched polymers with dendronized polymers, a series of hyperbranched poly(acylhydrazone)s pendanted with 3-fold branched dendritic oligoethylene glycol (OEG) units were efficiently prepared through A2 + B3 polycondensation. The constituents of these dendritic polymers can be mediated through dynamic covalent acylhydrazones. Owing to the dense OEG pendants, these dendronized hyperbranched polymers are biocompatible and thermoresponsive, and their cloud points (T cps) can be modulated by the branched architecture, solution pH, and addition of a third component. Cell viability in the presence of these hyperbranched poly(acylhydrazone)s can be maintained above 80%. Based on the unique dendritic architecture with rich acylhydrazine groups, dynamic hydrogels cross-linked via acylhydrazone linkages with good mechanical property were prepared, which inherit the characteristic thermoresponsive behavior of the polymer precursors and also show remarkable self-healing properties. This novel kind of topological polymers and their corresponding hydrogels with dynamic and multiple smart properties may have promising applications as biomaterials.

Growing hyperbranched polymers using natural sunlight.

Project description:In nature, a sapling can grow into a big tree under irradiation of sunlight. In chemistry, a similar concept that a small molecule only exposing to sunlight grows into a hyperbranched macromolecule has not been realized by now. The achievement of the concept will be fascinating and valuable for polymer synthesis wherein sunlight is inexpensive, abundant, renewable, and nonpolluting. Herein, we report a new strategy in which small monomers can directly grow into big hyperbranched macromolecule under irradiation of sunlight without any catalyst.

Effect of Ambient Plasma Treatments on Thermal Conductivity and Fracture Toughness of Boron Nitride Nanosheets/Epoxy Nanocomposites.

Project description:With the rapid growth in the miniaturization and integration of modern electronics, the dissipation of heat that would otherwise degrade the device efficiency and lifetime is a continuing challenge. In this respect, boron nitride nanosheets (BNNS) are of significant attraction as fillers for high thermal conductivity nanocomposites due to their high thermal stability, electrical insulation, and relatively high coefficient of thermal conductivity. Herein, the ambient plasma treatment of BNNS (PBNNS) for various treatment times is described for use as a reinforcement in epoxy nanocomposites. The PBNNS-loaded epoxy nanocomposites are successfully manufactured in order to investigate the thermal conductivity and fracture toughness. The results indicate that the PBNNS/epoxy nanocomposites subjected to 7 min plasma treatment exhibit the highest thermal conductivity and fracture toughness, with enhancements of 44 and 110%, respectively, compared to the neat nanocomposites. With these enhancements, the increases in surface free energy and wettability of the PBNNS/epoxy nanocomposites are shown to be attributable to the enhanced interfacial adhesion between the filler and matrix. It is demonstrated that the ambient plasma treatments enable the development of highly dispersed conductive networks in the PBNNS epoxy system.

Curing Behavior, Rheological, and Thermal Properties of DGEBA Modified with Synthesized BPA/PEG Hyperbranched Epoxy after Their Photo-Initiated Cationic Polymerization.

Project description:This paper investigates the photo-initiated cationic polymerization of diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A (DGEBA) modified with bisphenol A (BPA)/polyethylene glycol (PEG) hyperbranched epoxy resin. The relationship between curing behavior, rheological, and thermal properties of the modified DGEBA is investigated using photo-differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and photo-rheometer techniques. It is seen that the addition of the hyperbranched epoxy resin can increase UV conversion (αUV) and reduce gelation time (tgel). After photo-initiation polymerization (dark reaction) occurred, a second exothermic peak in the DSC thermogram takes place: namely, the occurrence of curing reaction owing to the activated monomer (AM) mechanism. Consequently, the glass transition temperature decreased, and at the same time, UV intensity increased which was due to the molecular weight between crosslinking points (Mc). Furthermore, the radius of gyration (Rg) of the network segment is determined via small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS). It is noted that the higher the Mc, the larger the radius of gyration proves to be, resulting in low glass transition temperature.

Synthesis of a Degradable High-Performance Epoxy-Ended Hyperbranched Polyester.

Project description:Degradation and recycling of cured thermosetting epoxy resins are major challenges to the industry. Here, a low-viscosity, degradable epoxy-ended hyperbranched polyester (DEHP) is synthesized by a reaction between epichlorohydrin and a carboxyl-ended hyperbranched polyester (DCHP) obtained from an esterification between citric acid and maleic anhydride. The chemical structures of DCHP and DEHP were characterized by Fourier transform infrared and 1H NMR. DEHP has a positive effect on reinforcing and toughening of the diglycidyl ether of bisphenol-A (DGEBA). With an increase in the content and molecular weight of DEHP, the mechanical performances of the cured DEHP/DGEBA composites, including the tensile, flexural, and impact strengths, increase first and then decrease. The improvements on the tensile, flexural, and impact strengths were 34.2-43.4%, 35.6-48.1%, and 117.9-137.8%, respectively. Moreover, the DEHP also promotes degradation of the cured DEHP/DGEBA composites. The degree of degradation of the cured DEHP/DGEBA composites increases with an increase of the DEHP content and molecular weight. The composites containing 12 wt % DEHP can be degraded completely in only about 2 h at about 90 °C, compared with the degradation degree (35%) of cured DGEBA, indicating good degradation and recycling properties of the DEHP.

Efficient Thermal Transport Highway Construction Within Epoxy Matrix via Hybrid Carbon Fibers and Alumina Particles.

Project description:Polymer composites with excellent thermal conductivity and superior mechanical strength are in high demand in the electrical engineering systems. However, achieving superior thermal conductivity and mechanical properties simultaneously at high loading of fillers will still be a challenging issue. In this work, a facile method was proposed to prepare the epoxy composite with carbon fibers (CFs) and alumina (Al2O3). This CF and Al2O3 hybrid structure can effectively reduce the interfacial thermal resistance between the matrix and the CFs. The thermal conductivity of epoxy composite with 6.4 wt % CFs and 74 wt % Al2O3 hybrid filler reaches 3.84 W/(m K), which is increasing by 2096% compared with that of pure epoxy. Meanwhile, the epoxy composite still retains outstanding thermal stability and mechanical performance at high filler loading. A cost-effective avenue to prepare highly thermally conductive and superior mechanical properties of polymer-based composites may enable some prospective application in advanced thermal management.

Hyperbranched Dynamic Crosslinking Networks Enable Degradable, Reconfigurable, and Multifunctional Epoxy Vitrimer.

Project description:Degradation and reprocessing of thermoset polymers have long been intractable challenges to meet a sustainable future. Star strategies via dynamic cross-linking hydrogen bonds and/or covalent bonds can afford reprocessable thermosets, but often at the cost of properties or even their functions. Herein, a simple strategy coined as hyperbranched dynamic crosslinking networks (HDCNs) toward in-practice engineering a petroleum-based epoxy thermoset into degradable, reconfigurable, and multifunctional vitrimer is provided. The special characteristics of HDCNs involve spatially topological crosslinks for solvent adaption and multi-dynamic linkages for reversible behaviors. The resulting vitrimer displays mild room-temperature degradation to dimethylacetamide and can realize the cycling of carbon fiber and epoxy powder from composite. Besides, they have supra toughness and high flexural modulus, high transparency as well as fire-retardancy surpassing their original thermoset. Notably, it is noted in a chance-following that ethanol molecule can induce the reconstruction of vitrimer network by ester-exchange, converting a stiff vitrimer into elastomeric feature, and such material records an ultrahigh modulus (5.45 GPa) at -150 °C for their ultralow-temperature condition uses. This is shaping up to be a potentially sustainable advanced material to address the post-consumer thermoset waste, and also provide a newly crosslinked mode for the designs of high-performance polymer.
