Authors: Hosseinpour Dariush , Guthrie James T. , Berg John C. 
Published: May 2006

AbstractThe study of the effect of interfacial interactions on the mechanical performance of a selected automotive topcoat system has been undertaken. The investigation concerned interactions that arise in acrylic‐melamine/pigment assemblies. The pigments were designed to have different surface treatments. Three types of TiO2 pigment, one type of C. I. Pigment Green 7, and a chrome oxide pigment were used in this research. Information regarding the surface characteristics of the pigments and also of the polymer was obtained by Inverse Gas Chromatography (IGC) technique. The pigments, at different particle volume concentrations, were dispersed into the polymeric matrix with the aid of their related additives. The cured coating samples were subjected to tensile stresses. The maximum stress that each sample withstood before breakage was recorded. Two different types of behavior were observed for coating composites that contained one of the pigment forms, at different particle volume concentrations. Finally, the data obtained from the IGC studies were used to support the results obtained from tensile testing. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 101: 2261–2268, 2006
Photografting of unable‐to‐be‐irradiated surfaces. I. Batch vapor‐phase process by one‐step method
Authors: Zhang Zhengdong , Kong Lingbing , Deng Jianping , Yang Peng , Yang Wantai 
Published: May 2006

AbstractSurfaces unable‐to‐be‐irradiated are those that could not be directly exposed to UV irradiation because of their irregular structure or instability under UV irradiation. It is difficult to conduct surface photografting on these kinds of surfaces with conventional photografting methods. Here, a novel one‐step surface photografting method is introduced, by which some monomers were smoothly grafted on the surface of polymer substrates located in a region out of the reach of UV radiation. The mechanism is that the photochemical reaction is separated into three events, absorbing UV light in one place, then transporting light energy to another place, and reacting there; in other words, the conventional photochemical reaction is separated by space and time, and the key point is that the substrate does not need to be exposed to UV irradiation. The occurrence of grafting polymerization was proved by UV–vis, ATR‐IR, SEM, XPS, and water contact angle measurements. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 101: 2269–2276, 2006
Two‐flux method for transient thermal analysis in a layer of polymer fiber
Authors: Sadooghi Parham , Aghanajafi Cyrus 
Published: May 2006

AbstractTransient radiative and conductive heat transfer in a translucent medium with isotropic optical properties is investigated. The radiative two‐flux equation is coupled with the transient energy equation and both equations are solved simultaneously. Transient solutions are obtained for a plane layer with refractive index equal to or larger than one, and with external convection and radiation at each boundary. Illustrative results obtained with the two‐flux method show the effects of changing parameters such as optical thicknesses, refractive index, conduction–radiation parameter, and scattering on the transient temperature distribution within the layer. Results are given at different instances during the transient, and the distribution for the largest time is at or very close to steady state. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Removal and recovery of cationic dyes from aqueous solutions using spherical sulfonic lignin adsorbent
Authors: Liu Ming‐Hua , Huang Jian‐Hui 
Published: May 2006

AbstractA novel spherical sulfonic lignin adsorbent, denoted as SSLA, was adopted to removal and recover the cationic dyes from aqueous solutions, e.g., Cationic Red GTL, Cationic Turquoise GB, and Cationic Yellow X‐5GL, and various affecting factors were optimized. It was found that the adsorption of cationic dyes on the adsorbent was initially concentration‐ and temperature‐dependent, and followed both the Freundlich and Langmuir isothermal adsorption. The positives values for ΔH indicated that the process was endothermic. The breakthrough adsorption capacities for GTL, GB, and X‐5GL were 536.0, 550.0, and 582.0 mg/g, respectively, which prevailed over the commercial powdered activated carbon and strongly acidic cation‐exchange resin R732 evidently. Additionally, the maximum recovery percentage could reach 93.2, 97.1, and 96.5% separately for GTL, GB, and X‐5GL, when a mixture of 3.0 mol/L HCl and alcohol with the volume ratio of 1 : 4 was adopted as eluant. Moreover, the results of the mobile desorption and recovery tests indicated that the maximum concentrations of GTL, GB, and X‐5GL in the eluants could reach 13,108, 13,980, and 13,520 mg/L, respectively. Only 6.3, 5.0, and 4.6% of adsorption capacities for GTL, GB, and X‐5GL decreases individually after 20 replicates of adsorption and desorption. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Influence of hydroxyl‐terminated polybutadiene additives on the poly(ether sulfone) ultra‐filtration membranes
Authors: Rana D. , Matsuura T. , Narbaitz R. M. , Khulbe K. C. 
Published: May 2006

AbstractHydroxyl‐terminated polybutadiene (HTPB) was blended into a poly(ether sulfone) (PES) casting solution used to prepare ultra‐filtration (UF) membranes via the phase inversion technique. The membranes were then characterized by contact angle (CA) measurements and UF experiments. The CA was increased with the addition of HTPB in the PES membrane and also by lowering the gelation bath temperature. It was observed that the CA was lower for membranes prepared with N‐methyl‐2‐pyrrolidinone (NMP) as the solvent than those using N,N‐dimethylacetamide (DMAc) as solvent. The flux values were higher for membranes made using a 4°C gelation bath when compared with the ambient temperature ((25 ± 1)°C) irrespective of the cast solvents, NMP or DMAc. The flux values were much higher and the solute separations were lower for the HTPB‐based PES membranes than for the pure PES membrane, when the membranes were cast with DMAc as a solvent. On the other hand, both flux and separation values were much lower for the HTPB‐based PES membranes than for the pure PES membrane, when the membranes were cast using NMP. Atomic force microscopy and scanning electron microscopy were used for morphological characterization and the correlation of topography/photography with the performance data was also examined. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Miniemulsion and conventional emulsion copolymerization of styrene and butadiene: A comparative kinetic study
Authors: Li Donghong , David Sudol E. , El‐Aasser Mohamed S. 
Published: May 2006

AbstractThe kinetics of conventional and miniemulsion copolymerizations of styrene and butadiene were compared using the Mettler RC1 calorimeter. A two‐step homogenization procedure was applied to obtain miniemulsions of these monomers with hexadecane as the costabilizer. The results indicated that the miniemulsion polymerizations proceeded mainly by nucleation in the monomer droplets, while in the conventional emulsion polymerizations, particle formation occurred by a combination of micellar and homogeneous nucleation. The overall rate of miniemulsion polymerization was faster than the corresponding conventional emulsion system if the surfactant concentration was below the critical micelle concentration (cmc) and slower if the surfactant concentration was above the cmc. The homogenization process is important for making stable miniemulsion systems, but had no effect on the conventional emulsion system (without hexadecane), most likely because of the second stage addition of the butadiene monomer. The dependencies of the rate of polymerization (heat of reaction) and number of particles on the surfactant concentration differed for the two types of polymerization systems. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Quaternization and anion exchange capacity of Sponge Gourd (Luffa cylindrica)
Authors: Hassan Mohammad L. 
Published: May 2006

AbstractGourd (Luffa cylindrica) was converted into an anion exchange material through its etherification using 2‐chloroethyldiethylamine hydrochloride (CEDA‐HCl) followed by crosslinking using epichlorohydrin. The effects of the different etherification reaction parameters (CEDA concentration, NaOH concentration, and temperature) on the extent of modification were followed up by elemental analysis of nitrogen to optimize the reaction. The effect of the etherification on the supramolecular structure was followed by the X‐ray diffraction. The ability of the crosslinked diethylaminoethylated luffa (DEAE‐luffa), after its quaternization with methyl iodide, to adsorb sulfate, nitrate, and phosphate anions was tested. The crosslinked DEAE‐luffa showed higher affinity toward phosphate anions followed by sulfate and nitrate. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 101: 2495–2503, 2006
Aging effects on the interface state density obtained from current–voltage and capacitance–frequency characteristics of polypyrrole/p‐Si/Al structure
Authors: Sağlam M. , Türüt A. 
Published: May 2006

AbstractA metallic polypyrrole film has been directly formed on a p‐type Si substrate by means of an anodization method under conditions of constant current density by an electrolyte being held at a constant temperature of 55°C that was composed of 0.40M pyrrole and 0.10M tetrabutylammonium tetrafluoroborate. An aluminum electrode was used as an ohmic contact. The polypyrrole/p‐Si/Al structure has clearly demonstrated rectifying behavior by the current–voltage curves studied at room temperature. The capacitance–voltage–frequency curves of the structure have been measured at different frequencies at room temperature in dark. To observe the effect of the aging, the measurements were also repeated 7, 15, 30, 60, and 90 days after fabrication of the polypyrrole/p‐Si/Al Schottky diode. During the whole measurement process, the probe of holder on sample was fixed to eliminate effects of surface inhomogeneity. The interface state density distribution curves of device have been obtained from forward bias current–voltage (I‐V) and capacitance–frequency (C‐f) characteristics as a function of aging time. From these curves, the exponential growth of the interface‐state density from midgap toward the top of the valence band is very apparent. The shape of the interface state density distribution curves from the forward bias I‐V characteristics are very similar to those obtained from C‐f. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Toughness and strength improvement of diglycidyl ether of bisphenol‐A by low viscosity liquid hyperbranched epoxy resin
Authors: Zhang Daohong , Jia Demin 
Published: May 2006

AbstractThis article reports on the use of low viscosity liquid thermosetting hyperbranched poly(trimellitic anhydride‐diethylene glycol) ester epoxy resin (HTDE) as an additive to an epoxy amine resin system. Four kinds of variety molecular weight and epoxy equivalent weight HTDE as modifiers in the diglycidyl ether of bisphenol‐A (DGEBA) amine systems are discussed in detail. It has been shown that the content and molecular weight of HTDE have important effect on the performance of the cured system, and the performance of the HTDE/DGEBA blends has been maximum with the increase of content and molecular weight or generation of HTDE. The impact strength and fracture toughness of the cured systems with 9 wt % second generation of HTDE are 58.2 kJ/m2 and 3.20 MPa m1/2, which are almost three and two times, respectively, of DGEBA performance. Furthermore, the tensile and flexural strength can be enhanced about 20%. The glass transition temperature and Vicat temperature, however, are found to decrease to some extent. The fracture surfaces are evaluated by using scanning electron microscopy, which showed that the homogeneous phase structure of the HTDE blends facilitates an enhanced interaction with the polymer matrix to achieve excellent toughness and strength enhancement of the cured systems, and the “protonema” phenomenon in SEM has been explained by in situ reinforcing and toughening mechanism and molecular simulation. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Authors: Bajpai A. K. , Choubey Jyoti 
Published: May 2006

AbstractGelatin (Type A) nanoparticles were prepared by a single W/O emulsion technique and characterized by infrared (IR) spectra, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and particle size analysis. The IR spectra clearly confirmed the presence of gelatin and cytarabine in the loaded nanoparticles while the scanning electron micrograph (SEM) image depicts smooth surface, spherical shape and uneven size of nanoparticles (100–300 nm). The prepared nanoparticles were loaded with cytarabine, a well‐known anticancer drug, and the release dynamics of entrapped drug was investigated as a function of various experimental factors, such as percent loading of the drug, chemical architecture of the nanocarriers, and pH, temperature, ionic strength, and nature of the release medium. The nanoparticles were also studied for their water sorption capacity by optical microscopic method taking advantage of the aggregation of nanoparticles. The drug release process was analyzed kinetically using Ficks power law, and a correlation was established between the quantity of released drug and swelling of the nanoparticles. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Fabrication and characterization of electrospun polybutadiene fibers crosslinked by UV irradiation
Authors: Choi S.‐S. , Hong J.‐P. , Seo Y. S. , Chung S. M. , Nah C. 
Published: May 2006

AbstractCrosslinked electrospun polybutadiene (BR) fibers were made using electrospinning and UV curing methods. The crosslinked BR fibers were obtained by irradiating UV light on the electrospun BR fibers containing a photoinitiator and a crosslinker. Although uncrosslinked electrospun BR fibers did not retain the fiber morphology at room temperature due to a cold flow resulting from the very low glass transition temperature (Tg) of BR (below −80°C), the crosslinked electrospun BR fibers retained the fiber morphology. The crosslink density increased with increase of the content of crosslinking agent. The crosslinked BR fibers had higher Tg than the raw BR. Tensile strength, modulus, and elongation at break of the electrospun BR fiber mats increased with increase of the crosslinker content. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Authors: Li Chuncheng , Xiao Yaonan , Guan Guohu , Liu Xiaoqing , Zhang Dong 
Published: May 2006

AbstractFrom in situ polycondensation, a poly(ethylene terephthalate)/Polyamide 6 copolymer/montmorillonite nanocomposite was prepared, after the treatment of montmorillonite (MMT) with a water soluble polymer. The resulting nanocomposites were characterized by X‐ray diffraction (XRD), differential scanning calorimeter (DSC), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The results of DSC, 1H NMR, and DMA proved that the nanocomposite synthesized was PET/PA6 copolymer/MMT nanocomposite, not the PET/PA6 blend/MMT nanocomposite. The results of XRD and TEM proved that the dispersion of MMT was improved observably after the introduction of PA6 molecular chain into PET. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Authors: Jin Chengyou , Yang Fenglin , Yang Weishen 
Published: May 2006

AbstractElectropolymerization and ion exchange properties of the polypyrrole film doped by para‐toluene sulfonate (PPy/pTS) were investigated in aqueous solutions. The film with a column‐like surface morphology was galvanostatically synthesized at 3 mA/cm2 during 1800 s. Cyclic voltammetric measurements of the PPy/pTS film in sodium para‐toluene sulfonate (NapTS), tetraethylammonium chloride ((C2H5)4NCl), and NaCl aqueous solutions showed a cation exchange property, an anion exchange property, and a combination of them, respectively. Moreover, the large ions could decrease the transport of the small ions coexisting in the same solution, and the redox processes were proved to be electrochemically irreversible and ion transport‐limiting reactions. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Published: May 2006

AbstractA novel polymerizable photoinitiator, 4‐[(4‐maleimido)phenoxy]benzophenone (MPBP) comprising the structure of N‐phenylmaleimide and benzophenone was used for the photopolymerization with N,N‐dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate (DMAEMA) as coinitiator. The ESR spectrum of this photoredox system was studied and compared with BP/DMAEMA; the results showed the same signals of them and verified that N‐phenylmaleimide does not generate radicals. The kinetics for photopolymerization of methyl methacrylate (MMA) using such system was studied by dilatometer. It was found that the polymerization rate was proportional to the 0.3172th power of the MPBP concentration, the 0.7669th power and the 0.1765th power of MMA concentration and DMAEMA concentration respectively; the overall apparent activation energy obtained was 31.88 kJ/mol. The polymerization kinetics of 1,6‐hexanediol diacrylate (HDDA) initiated by such system was studied by photo‐DSC. It showed that the increase in the MPBP concentration, light intensity, and temperature leads to increased polymerization rate and final conversion. The apparent activation energy was 11.25 kJ/mol. This polymerizable photoredox system was significantly favorable for reducing the migration of active species but owning high efficiency. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Published: May 2006

AbstractFlow behavior of latices is industrially important for the manufacturing of various latex goods. Rheology of latices having fillers can assist in the understanding and quantification of the matrix–filler interaction. The impact of layered silicates such as sodium bentonite and sodium fluorohectorite on the rheological behavior of natural rubber, carboxylated styrene butadiene rubber latices, and their blends was analyzed with special reference to shear rate, temperature, and filler loading. The layered silicates‐reinforced latex samples were characterized by X‐ray diffraction technique to analyze the extent of intercalation and exfoliation. In the presence of layered silicates, latex systems exhibited enhancement in viscosity due to the network formation. Because of the breaking of networks at higher temperature, the viscosity of all systems decreased with increase in temperature. Layered silicates‐reinforced latex systems showed pseudoplastic flow behavior and possesses enhanced zero shear viscosity and yield stress. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Published: May 2006

AbstractBisphenol‐C‐formaldehyde‐toluene‐2,4‐di isocyanate polyurethane (PU) has been synthesized at room temperature and used for the fabrication of jute and jute–rice husk/wheat husk hybrid composites. PU–jute and PU–jute–RH/WH composites were prepared under pressure of 30.4 MPa at room temperature for 8 h, while PU–jute–RH/WH composites were prepared under same pressure at 110°C for 5 h. PU–jute composite has good tensile strength and flexural strength (50–53 MPa), while PU–jute–RH/WH hybrid composites have moderate tensile strength (9–11 MPa) and a fairly good flexural strength (15–31 MPa). Composites possess 1.1–2.2 kV electric strength and 0.94–1.26 × 1012 ohm cm volume resistivity. Water absorption in PU–jute composite is different in water (9.75%), 10% HCl (12.14%), and 10% NaCl (6.05%). Equilibrium water uptake time in salt environment is observed 96 h, while in pure water and acidic environments it is 192 h. In boiling water equilibrium water content and equilibrium time are found to be 21.7% and 3 h, respectively. Water absorption increased 2.2 times in boiling water, whereas equilibrium time reduced 64 times. Thus, PU–jute composite has excellent hydrolytic stability against boiling water, 10% HCl, and 10% NaCl solutions. Fairly good mechanical and electrical properties and excellent hydrolytic stability of composites signify their usefulness for low cost housing units and in electrical and marine industries. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Published: May 2006

AbstractNovel hydrophobic monomer N‐(1‐pyrenebutyryl)–N′‐methacryloyl hydrazide (PyMAHy) was synthesized and copolymerized with N‐vinylpyrrolidone (NVP) to get a series of amphiphilic copolymers. FTIR, 1H NMR, TEM, gel permeation chromatography–multi‐angle laser light scattering, UV–vis spectroscopy, and fluorescence spectroscopy were used to characterize these polymers. Results of fluorescence measurements show that these copolymers have good recognition ability to CO32− anion and the fluorescence emission intensity was quenched linearly upon the addition of CO32− anion. The recognition for CO32− anion was also proved by the results of TEM for the significantly difference in the morphology of copolymer before and after adding CO32− anion into copolymer Tris–HCl buffer solution. Results suggest the potential of these amphiphilic copolymers as fluorogenic chemosensor materials. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 101: 2371–2376, 2006
