Examining the Influence of Anion Nucleophilicity on the Polymerisation Initiation Mechanism of Phenyl Glycidyl Ether.

ABSTRACT: The reaction of phenyl glycidyl ether (PGE) with 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium acetateand 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium thiocyanate to initiate the polyetherification reaction wasexamined using thermal and spectral analysis techniques. The influence of the nucleophilicity of theanions on the deprotonation of the 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium cation determined the reactionpathway. The thermal degradation of the ionic liquid liberated the acetate ion and led, subsequently,to the deprotonation of the acidic proton in the imidazole ring. Thus, polymerisation of PGEoccurred via a carbene intermediate. The more nucleophilic thiocyanate anion was not sufficientlybasic to deprotonate the 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium cation, and thus proceeded through directreaction with the PGE, unless the temperature was elevated and a competing carbene mechanismensued.

Modification of Kraft Lignin with Dodecyl Glycidyl Ether.

Project description:Kraft lignin (KL) is extensively produced in industry but is mainly burned as fuel. To broaden its use, KL was grafted with dodecyl glycidyl ether to alter its thermal properties. The reaction of KL with dodecyl glycidyl ether (DGE) was analyzed using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), Fourier infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and elemental analysis. Alternatively, KL was methylated to mask its phenolic hydroxy groups to investigate how phenolic hydroxy groups impact the grafting of the alkyl chain of DGE onto lignin (methylated Kraft lignin, MKL). The methylation facilitated the molecular weight enhancement and thermal stability reduction of Kraft lignin via grafting with DGE. The influence of grafting alkyl chains on the structural and thermal properties of KL and MKL was studied using thermogravimetric analysis and differential scanning calorimetry analysis. Our data suggest that, due to their high molecular weights and lower glass transition temperatures, the produced lignin derivatives may be promising feedstocks for composite production.

Examining the Initiation of the Polymerization Mechanism and Network Development in Aromatic Polybenzoxazines.

Project description:Three bis-benzoxazine monomers based on the aniline derivatives of bisphenol A (BA-a), bisphenol F (BF-a), and 3,3'-thiodiphenol (BT-a) are examined using a variety of spectroscopic, chromatographic, and thermomechanical techniques. The effect on the polymerization of the monomers is compared using two common compounds, 3,3'-thiodiphenol (TDP) and 3,3'-thiodipropionic acid (TDA), at a variety of loadings. It is found that the diacid has a greater effect on reducing the onset of polymerization and increasing cross-link density and Tg for a given benzoxazine. However, the addition of >5 wt % of the diacid had a detrimental effect on the cross-link density, Tg, and thermal stability of the polymer. The kinetics of the polymerization of BA-a were found to be well described using an autocatalytic model for which values of n = 1.64 and m = 2.31 were obtained for the early and later stages of reaction (activation energy = 81 kJ/mol). Following recrystallization the same monomer yielded values n = 1.89, m = 0.89, and Ea = 94 kJ/mol (confirming the influence of higher oligomers on reactivity). The choice of additive (in particular the magnitude of its pKa) appears to influence the nature of the network formation from a linear toward a more clusterlike growth mechanism.

1H-Benzimidazol-2-ylmethyl phenyl ether.

Project description:There are two mol-ecules in the asymmetric unit of the title compound, C(14)H(10)N(2)O: the dihedral angles between their aromatic ring planes are 47.4 (4) and 46.8 (3)°. In the crystal structure, mol-ecules are linked by N-H⋯N hydrogen bonds from the secondary nitro-gen N-H donor to the tertiary N-atom acceptor of a symmetry-related neighbour, resulting in hydrogen-bonded chains. The two independent chains both propagate in [100].

Sodium Hydroxide-Free Soy Protein Isolate-Based Films Crosslinked by Pentaerythritol Glycidyl Ether.

Project description:The soy protein isolate (SPI), sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate (SDBS) and pentaerythritol glycidyl ether (PEGE) were used to make biodegradable films in this study. Unlike the usual method that adding sodium hydroxide (NaOH) during the SPI-based film casting, SDBS was used as a surfactant playing the similar role as NaOH. Since NaOH is a chemical with corrosiveness and toxicity, the replacing of NaOH by SDBS might reduce the hazard threat during the utilization of SPI-based films in food packing application. Furthermore, the presentation of SDBS helped dispersing the hydrophobic PEGE into the hydrophilic SPI. PEGE is a crosslinking agent with multiple reactive epoxy groups. The chemical structures and micro morphologies of the fabricated films were investigated by means of FTIR, XRD, and SEM. The thermal stabilities of the films were examined by means of the thermo-gravimetric analysis. After the chemical crosslinking, the ultimate tensile strength of the film was significantly increased, meanwhile, the water absorption was dramatically decreased. It was concluded that the SPI-based film containing 4% PEGE achieved the optimal performance.

The short distance of 3.899 (5) Å between the centroids of the benzene rings of neighbouring mol-ecules indicate π-π inter-actions. The crystal structure is stabilized by a network of intermolecular C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds.

Improved Route to Linear Triblock Copolymers by Coupling with Glycidyl Ether-Activated Poly(ethylene oxide) Chains.

Project description:Poly(ethylene oxide) block copolymers (PEOz BCP) have been demonstrated to exhibit remarkably high lithium ion (Li+) conductivity for Li+ batteries applications. For linear poly(isoprene)-b-poly(styrene)-b-poly(ethylene oxide) triblock copolymers (PIxPSyPEOz), a pronounced maximum ion conductivity was reported for short PEOz molecular weights around 2 kg mol-1. To later enable a systematic exploration of the influence of the PIx and PSy block lengths and related morphologies on the ion conductivity, a synthetic method is needed where the short PEOz block length can be kept constant, while the PIx and PSy block lengths could be systematically and independently varied. Here, we introduce a glycidyl ether route that allows covalent attachment of pre-synthesized glycidyl-end functionalized PEOz chains to terminate PIxPSy BCPs. The attachment proceeds to full conversion in a simplified and reproducible one-pot polymerization such that PIxPSyPEOz with narrow chain length distribution and a fixed PEOz block length of z = 1.9 kg mol-1 and a Đ = 1.03 are obtained. The successful quantitative end group modification of the PEOz block was verified by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, gel permeation chromatography (GPC) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). We demonstrate further that with a controlled casting process, ordered microphases with macroscopic long-range directional order can be fabricated, as demonstrated by small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). It has already been shown in a patent, published by us, that BCPs from the synthesis method presented here exhibit comparable or even higher ionic conductivities than those previously published. Therefore, this PEOz BCP system is ideally suitable to relate BCP morphology, order and orientation to macroscopic Li+ conductivity in Li+ batteries.

Functionalized epoxy with adjustable fluorescence and UV-shielding enabled by reactive addition of 9-anthracenemethoxyl glycidyl ether.

Project description:Functionalized epoxies show unique advantages in some special applications. Herein, a fluorescent and UV-shielding dual-functional epoxy resin, epoxy-EAn, is prepared via synthesizing and incorporating a reactive additive, 9-anthracenemethoxyl glycidyl ether (EAn), into the resin system. The results show that EAn performs an outstanding migration resistance. The addition of a small amount of EAn (0.1%) enables epoxy-EAn to emit bright blue-violet fluorescence under UV light, making epoxy-EAn a feasible fluorescent adhesive for reconstruction and repair. The fluorescence emission intensity is adjustable by the treatment with UV light and heat. Correspondingly, the epoxy-EAn can serve as an information storage material to realize information input and decryption. In addition, epoxy-EAn also possesses the ability to shield UV radiation, and transmittance in the near ultraviolet and middle ultraviolet region (200-400 nm) can decrease to zero when the EAn concentration is 0.8%. Meanwhile, epoxy-EAn also shows excellent mechanical properties similar to that of the pure epoxy. This work paves a facile way to fabricate a multi-functional epoxy suitable for various occasions.
