We report a new sequence selective terpolymerisation in which three monomers (butylene oxide (BO) A, PhNCS B and phtalic thioanhydride (PTA) C) are selectively enchained into an (ABA′C)n sequence. PTA/PhNCS/BO ring-opening terpolymerisation ROTERP can be coupled with CS2 ROTERP to generate tetrapolymers and with εDL ROP in switchable catalysis for blockpolymer synthesis.
The impact of water released from boehmite nanoparticles during curing in epoxy-based nanocomposites
(2021)
The enhancing effect on mechanical properties of boehmite (γ-AlOOH) nanoparticles (BNP) in epoxy-based nanocomposites on the macroscopic scale encouraged recent research to investigate the micro- and nanoscopic properties. Several studies presented different aspects relatable to an alteration of the epoxy polymer network formation by the BNP with need for further experiments to identify the mode of action.
With FTIR-spectroscopic methods this study identifies interactions of the BNP with the epoxy polymer matrix during the curing process as well as in the cured nanocomposite. The data reveals that not the BNP themselves, but the water released from them strongly influences the curing process by hydrolysis of the anhydride hardener or protonation of the amine accelerator. The changes of the curing processes are discussed in detail.
The changes of the curing processes enable new explanation for the changed material properties by BNP discussed in recent research like a lowered glass transition temperature region (Tg) and an interphase formation.
We show that complex physical and chemical interactions between boehmite nanoparticles and epoxy drastically affect matrix properties, which in the future will provide tuning of material properties for further optimization in applications from automotive to aerospace. We utilize intermodulation atomic force microscopy (ImAFM) for probing local stiffness of both particles and polymer matrix. Stiff particles are expected to increase total stiffness of nanocomposites and the stiffness of polymer should remain unchanged. However, ImAFM revealed that stiffness of matrix in epoxy/boehmite nanocomposite is significantly higher than unfilled epoxy. The stiffening effect of the boehmite on epoxy also depends on the particle concentration. To understand the mechanism behind property alteration induced by boehmite nanoparticles, network architecture is investigated using dynamic mechanical thermal analysis (DMTA). It was revealed that although with 15 wt% boehmite nanoparticles the modulus at glassy state increases, crosslinking density of epoxy for this composition is drastically low.
Understanding the interaction between boehmite and epoxy and the formation of their interphases with different mechanical and chemical structures is crucial to predict and optimize the properties of epoxy-boehmite nanocomposites. Probing the interfacial properties with atomic force microscopy (AFM)-based methods, especially particle-matrix long-range interactions, is challenging. This is due to size limitations of various analytical methods in resolving nanoparticles and their interphases, the overlap of interphases, and the effect of buried particles that prevent the accurate interphase property measurement. Here, we develop a layered model system in which the epoxy is cured in contact with a thin layer of hydrothermally synthesized boehmite. Different microscopy methods are employed to evaluate the interfacial properties. With intermodulation atomic force microscopy (ImAFM) and amplitude dependence force spectroscopy (ADFS), which contain information about stiffness, electrostatic, and van der Waals forces, a soft interphase was detected between the epoxy and boehmite. Surface potential maps obtained by scanning Kelvin probe microscopy (SKPM) revealed another interphase about one order of magnitude larger than the mechanical interphase. The AFM-infrared spectroscopy (AFM-IR) technique reveals that the soft interphase consists of unreacted curing agent. The long-range electrical interphase is attributed to the chemical alteration of the bulk epoxy and the formation of new absorption bands.
Aluminium is still one of the most important contact metallisations for power electronic chips like MOSFETs or IGBTs. With a large difference in thermal expansion coefficients (CTEs) between aluminium and silicon and the temperatures generated in hot-spots during high power transients, these layers are prone to failure due to thermo-mechanical fatigue. Usually lifetime assessment is done by subjecting dedicated test specimens to standardised stress tests as e.g. active or passive thermal cycling. This paper proposes a novel method for accelerated stress testing and lifetime modelling of thin aluminium films in the high-cycle fatigue regime by isothermal mechanical loading. The proposed novel test method is suggested to complement or replace resource-demanding thermal cycling tests and allow simple in-situ monitoring of failure.
Force–distance curves have been acquired with an Atomic Force Microscope on polymethyl methacrylate with embedded glass spheres. The glass spheres provide a stiff substrate with an irregular and complex topography hidden underneath a compliant and even polymer film. This situation is a special case of a mechanical double-layer, which we examined in detail in previous experiments. Up to now uniform and non-uniform polymer films on an even substrate were examined. The film thickness on each point of the sample surface was known and force–distance curves could be averaged in groups according to the film thickness. In this way we were able to develop a semi empirical approach which allows describing the shape of averaged force–distance curves depending on the Youngs moduli of the involved materials and on the film thickness. In this experiment we reconstruct a hidden topography, i.e., we determine the polymer thickness on each point of the sample by analyzing single force–distance curves with our semi empirical equation. The accuracy reached by this approach permits to obtain a reconstruction of the shape and position of the embedded particles limited by a maximum detection depth. Single curves are also analyzed qualitatively in order to locate areas where the adhesion at the polymer/glass interface is weak or the two phases are detached.
Thermoplastic modified thermosets are of great interest especially due to their improved fracture toughness. Comparable enhancements have been achieved by adding different nanofillers including inorganic particles such as nanosized boehmite. Here, we present a nanomechanical study of two composite systems, the first comprising a polycarbonate (PC) layer in contact with epoxy resin (EP) and the second consisting of a PC layer containing boehmite nanoparticles (BNP) which is also in contact with an EP layer. The interaction between PC and EP monomer is tested by in situ Fourier transformed infrared (FT-IR) analysis, from which a reaction induced phase separation of the PC phase is inferred. Both systems are explored by atomic force microscopy (AFM) force spectroscopy. AFM force-distance curves (FDC) show no alteration of the mechanical properties of EP at the interface to PC. However, when a PC phase loaded with BNP is put in contact with an epoxy system during curing, a considerable mechanical improvement exceeding the rule of mixture was detected.
The trend of BNP to agglomerate preferentially around EP dominated regions and the stiffening effect of BNP on EP shown by spatial resolved measurements of Young's modulus, suggest the effective presence of BNP within the EP phase.
Forcedisplacement curves have been acquired with a commercial atomic force microscope on thin films of poly(n-butyl methacrylate) on glass substrates. Different film thicknesses, from 10 up to 430 nm, were chosen to examine in detail the so called mechanical double-layer topic, i.e., the influence of the substrate on the determination of the mechanical properties of thin films. Taking advantage of the Hertz theory we calculated for all films the contact radius between tip and sample as a function of the applied load. Further Young's modulus of the samples was derived from the experimental data as a function of the applied load and, alternatively, of the deformation. The results of this analysis for 10 different film thicknesses were fitted with several half empirical equations proposed by several researchers. The focus of this work is to evaluate such existing half empirical theories for mechanical double-layers and to show the need for an alternative consistent approach.
Force-displacement curves have been acquired with a commercial atomic force microscope on a thin film of poly(n-butyl methacrylate) on glass substrates. The film thickness is nonuniform, ranging in the measured area from 0 to 30 nm, and gives the possibility to survey the so-called "mechanical double-layer" topic, i.e., the influence of the substrate on the mechanical properties of the film in dependence of the film thickness. The stiffness and the deformation for each force-distance curve were determined and related to the film thickness. We were able to estimate the resolution of the film thickness that can be achieved by means of force-distance curves. By exploiting the data acquired in the present and in a previous experiment, a novel semiempirical approach to describe the mechanical properties of a mechanical double-layer is introduced. The mathematical model, with which deformation-force curves can be described, permits to calculate the Young's moduli of film and substrate in agreement with literature values and to determine the film thickness in agreement with the topography.
