Adhesion of amorphous polymers as a function of temperature probed with AFM force-distance curves
(2005)
Forcedisplacement curves have been obtained with a commercial atomic force microscope at different temperatures and probe rates on a thick film of poly(n-butyl methacrylate) and on two films of polystyrene with different molecular weight. In a previous publication [B. Cappella, S.K. Kaliappan, H. Sturm, Macromolecules 38 (2005)1874] the analysis of forcedisplacement curves has been focused on the stiffness and on the Young's modulus of the samples. In the present publication we consider the temperature dependence of the work of adhesion. We have obtained master curves of the work of adhesion at fixed maximum loads and, by comparing the results of the two analysis, we show that the work of adhesion follows the WilliamsLandelFerry equation with the same coefficients previously found for the Young's modulus. Furthermore, we show that the temperature dependence of the work of adhesion of the polymers is a consequence of the temperature dependence of the tipsample contact area and in the end of the temperature dependence of the stiffness and of the elasticplastic properties of the samples.
A stoichiometric amineepoxy formulation was cured in the presence of a thermoplastic, namely poly(vinylpyrrolidone) (PVP). The epoxy system consisted of the resin diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A (DGEBA) and the aromatic curing agent 4,4'-diaminodiphenylsulfone (DDS). As shown for this system in a former study by Oyama et al. [Oyama HT, Lesko JJ, Wightman JP. J Polym Sci B 1997;35:33146. [36]], preferential absorption of amine molecules by PVP can occur. In the present study, the focus is on the variations of local elastic properties within the epoxy interphase adjacent to the PVP layer. The curing was performed close to the glass transition temperature, Tα, of the PVP film, namely at 170 °C. Variations of the local amine concentration were tracked using energy-dispersive analysis of X-rays (EDX), by taking benefit of the sulfur contained in DDS. Using temperature-dependent dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA), a series of epoxy reference samples of different amineepoxy concentration ratios, r, was investigated in order to work out the relationship between r and the epoxy storage modulus at room temperature. In the excess-epoxy regime, r<1, the modulus is observed to increase with departure from the stoichiometric ratio, r=1. Considering the respective suppression of the ß-transition, the observed characteristic can be explained by an antiplasticisation effect. Depth-sensing indentation (DSI) experiments across the epoxy/PVP interphase provided evidence for strong modulus variations. In consistency with the EDX and the DMA data, in the vicinity of the PVP layer the local epoxy modulus is increased. The total change of the epoxy Young's modulus is ~1.1 GPa. However, the total width of the modulus decay of ~175 µm is ~2.5 times larger than the one of the DDS concentration gradient. This finding is discussed in terms of additional spatial variations of the DGEBA concentration as well as long-range diffusion currents of DDS induced by the interdiffusion processes and their effect on the final network of crosslinks.
