Metal Oxide Nanoparticles: An Effective Tool to Modify the Functional Properties of Thermally Stable Polyimide Films.

ABSTRACT: A series of polyimide/metal oxide (either ZrO₂ or TiO₂) nanocomposite films were fabricated based on two polymer matrices. The prepared films were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), and X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), and their thermal and mechanical properties were investigated with the use of thermogravimetric (TGA), differential thermal analysis (DTA), and thermomechanical analysis (TMA). We have found out that functional properties of the obtained materials are determined by a number of factors, not only the type, size, surface functionality, and concentration of the nanofiller, but also the chemical structure of the matrix polyimide. We have demonstrated some trends in the thermal and mechanical behavior of the materials depending on these features. The data could be of great interest in the areas where new materials with improved functional characteristics are needed.

Project description:Proteins are promising precursors to be used in production of sustainable materials with properties resembling plastics, although protein modification or functionalization is often required to obtain suitable product characteristics. Here, effects of protein modification were evaluated by crosslinking behavior using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), secondary structure using infrared spectroscopy (IR), liquid imbibition and uptake, and tensile properties of six crambe protein isolates modified in solution before thermal pressing. The results showed that a basic pH (10), especially when combined with the commonly used, although moderately toxic, crosslinking agent glutaraldehyde (GA), resulted in a decrease in crosslinking in unpressed samples, as compared to acidic pH (4) samples. After pressing, a more crosslinked protein matrix with an increase in β-sheets was obtained in basic samples compared to acidic samples, mainly due to the formation of disulfide bonds, which led to an increase in tensile strength, and liquid uptake with less material resolved. A treatment of pH 10 + GA, combined either with a heat or citric acid treatment, did not increase crosslinking or improve the properties in pressed samples, as compared to pH 4 samples. Fenton treatment at pH 7.5 resulted in a similar amount of crosslinking as the pH 10 + GA treatment, although with a higher degree of peptide/irreversible bonds. The strong bond formation resulted in lack of opportunities to disintegrate the protein network by all extraction solutions tested (even for 6 M urea + 1% sodium dodecyl sulfate + 1% dithiothreitol). Thus, the highest crosslinking and best properties of the material produced from crambe protein isolates were obtained by pH 10 + GA and pH 7.5 + Fenton, where Fenton is a greener and more sustainable solution than GA. Therefore, chemical modification of crambe protein isolates is effecting both sustainability and crosslinking behavior, which might have an effect on product suitability.
