A mono-component intumescent flame retardant named ethylenediamine-modified ammonium polyphosphate (MAPP) is used in polyethylene-octene elastomer (POE). Insight into the flame-retardant mechanisms of the MAPP is provided from a new perspective. The fire performance of POE/MAPP composites is investigated by oxygen index (OI) and vertical burning (UL-94) tests. POE Composite containing 35 wt% MAPP achieves a V-0 rating, and its OI is 29.3 vol%. The thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA) and Fourier transform infrared spectra (FTIR) confirm that the incorporation of ethylenediamine changes the thermal decomposition of APP, mainly resulting in the formation of char layer with a thermally stable structure. Cone calorimeter analysis revealed the flame-retardant modes of action of MAPP in POE under forced-flaming conditions. Quantitative analysis illustrates that both the residue due to charring and the fuel dilution/flame Inhibition resulting from the release of incombustible products/ phosphorus species decrease the total heat release (fire load) by 20e28%. The residue increases linearly with increasing MAPP content, whereas the reduction in effective heat of combustion levels off. Moreover, the flame-retardant effect resulting from the protective properties of the char is discovered to be the dominant mode of action (up to 85% reduction) with respect to the peak heat release rate, leading to the excellent flame retardancy of POE/MAPP.
Polymers of intrinsic microporosity (PIMs) are promising candidates for the active layer in gas separation membranes due to their high permeability and reasonable permselectivity. These appealing properties originate from a microporous structure as a result of inefficient segment packing in the condensed state due to a combination of a ladder-like rigid backbone and sites of contortion. However, this class of polymers suffers from a significant decrease in the permeability with time due to physical aging, whereby typically, the permselectivity increases. The initial microporous structures approach a denser state via local rearrangements, leading to the reduction of the permeability. Hence, a detailed characterization of the molecular mobility in such materials can provide valuable information on physical aging. In this work, the dielectric behavior of PIM-1 films and their behavior upon heating (aging) were revisited by isothermal frequency scans during different heating/cooling cycles over a broad temperature range between 133 and 523 K (−140 to 250 °C). In addition, the obtained results were compared with data of samples that were annealed at ambient temperatures over different time scales. Multiple dielectric processes were observed: several relaxation processes due to local fluctuations and a Maxwell−Wagner−Sillars polarization effect related to the microporosity. The temperature dependence of the rates of all processes follows the Arrhenius law where the estimated activation energy depends on the nature of the process. The influence of the thermal history (aging) on the processes is discussed in detail.
Specific heat spectroscopy was used to study the dynamic glass transition of ultrathin poly(2-vinyl pyridine) films (thicknesses: 405–10 nm). The amplitude and the phase angle of the differential voltage were obtained as a measure of the complex heat capacity. In a traditional data analysis, the dynamic glass transition temperature Tg is estimated from the phase angle. These data showed no thickness dependency on Tg down to 22 nm (error of the measurement of ±3 K). A derivative-based method was established, evidencing a decrease in Tg with decreasing thickness up to 7 K, which can be explained by a surface layer. For ultrathin films, data showed broadening at the lower temperature side of the spectra, supporting the existence of a surface layer. Finally, temperature dependence of the heat capacity in the glassy and liquid states changes with film thickness, which can be considered as a confinement effect.
Aerosol-based DBD - A simple way to provide polymers with functional groups for adhesion promotion
(2013)
Polypropylene (PP) foils were exposed to the plasma of an atmospheric dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) in presence of different aerosols. Pure liquids such as water, ethanol, and 1/1 mixtures ethanol/water (v/v) or aqueous Solutions of acetic acid, poly(acrylic acid), poly(vinyl alcohol), and ethylene glycolpoly(vinyl alcohol) copolymer were introduced into the DBD. Surface composition, the number of functional groups per 100 C atoms, and water contact angles were correlated with the energy density of DBD plasma exposure.
The wettability of the treated surfaces was investigated for different storage times. Peel strength of the thermally deposited aluminum layer to modified polymer surfaces revealed that the aerosol introduction strongly improves the adhesion between aluminum and polypropylene.
Das Ziel des Forschungsvorhabens war die Untersuchung der Wirkungsweise von halogenfreien Flammschutzmitteln in WPC.
Eine große Anzahl verschiedener Flammschutzmittel wurde hinsichtlich ihrer Wirkmechanismen umfassend untersucht, um ein Verständnis für die ablaufenden Prozesse zu entwickeln. Hierbei wurden verschiedene Brandtests eingesetzt, um die Materialien bezüglich verschiedener Applikationen (E&E, Transportwesen, Bauwesen) zu beleuchten.
Die verschiedenen Untersuchungen liefern aber auch ein umfassendes Bild vom Brandverhalten in den verschiedenen Eigenschaften, wie Entflammbarkeit und Brandausbreitung.
Die prinzipiellen Ansätze wurden anhand von verschiedenen Flammschutzmitteln beleuchtet, ihre Pyrolyse und ihre Performance in verschiedenen Brandtests gegenübergestellt. Bei der angestrebten geringen Zusatzmenge ist durch den Zusatz eines einzigen Flammschutzmittels keine zufriedenstellende Reduktion der Brandeigenschaften zu erwarten. Multikomponentensysteme zur Steigerung der Effizienz sind angezeigt. Einige prinzipielle Kombinationsmöglichkeiten wurden für alle Hauptflammschutzmittel durchgespielt. Die teilweise deutlichen Verbesserungen zeigen Wege zur erfolgreichen Produktentwicklung auf. So konnten bei den Spritzgießcompounds Eigenschaften erzielt werden, die eine UL 94 V0 Klassifizierung ermöglichen.
Ein Einsatz der im Forschungsvorhaben hergestellten Compounds als Baustoff ist aufgrund des Brandverhaltens in den baustoffspezifischen Prüfungen nicht möglich. Hier sind weitere Flammschutz-Konzepte zu erproben.
Gleitmittel nehmen bei den untersuchten Extrusionscompounds keinen Einfluss auf das Brandverhalten. Haftvermittler nehmen ebenfalls keinen signifikanten Einfluss auf das untersuchte Brandverhalten, können aber zu einer veränderten Verteilung der Füllstoffe
und damit zur Ausbildung einer effektiveren Schutzschicht führen.
Feinere Holzpartikel schneiden bei den Brandprüfungen besser ab als grobe Holzpartikel.
Bei Einsatz von grobem Holz wird eine schlechtere Rückstandsstruktur ausgebildet, was das Brandverhalten negativ beeinflusst. Der Einsatz von vorbehandeltem Holz
brachte nicht die erwartete Verbesserung.
Die neu konzipierte Aufbereitungsanlage auf Basis des Planetwalzenextruders konnte erfolgreich in Betrieb genommen werden. Vergleichende Versuche mit dem Doppelschneckenextruder zeigten, dass der PWE-Aufbau eine gute Alternative zur etablierten DSE-Aufbereitung darstellt.
Zusätzlich wurden an Compounds vielversprechender Flammschutzansätze weitere Materialprüfungen (Biegeversuch, Schlagversuch, Wasseraufnahme) durchgeführt, um den Einfluss der FSM auf die spezifischen Eigenschaften der WPC zu beleuchten.
Polymeric membranes represent a cost- and energy efficient solution for gas separation. Recently superglassy polymers with high free volume outperform many conventional dense polymers in terms of gas permeability and selectivity. However, such materials with a high fractional free volume (FFV) are prone to pronounced physical aging. The initial microporous structures approach a denser state via local chain rearrangements which results in a dramatic reduction in the gas permeability. For the first time, dielectric spectroscopy with state-of-the-art high-resolution analyzers was employed to investigate the molecular mobility and physical aging of two representative groups of superglassy polymers: PIMs (PIM-1 & PIM-EA-TB) and Si-containing polynobornenes (PTCNSi1 & PTCNSi2). The dielectric behavior of the solution-cast polymeric films was measured by isothermal frequency scans during the different heating cycles in a broad temperature range. Structural relaxation of the films was observed during the measurements. Multiple dielectric processes following Arrhenius behavior were observed for all the investigated polymers. Moreover, they all showed conductivity in the glassy state. The significant increase in the conductivity with increasing temperature especially for PIMs is explained in terms of the formation of local intermolecular agglomerated structures due to interaction of π-electrons in aromatic moieties of the polymer backbone.
Thermal and dynamic glass transition of ultrathin films of homopolymers and a miscible polymer blend
(2017)
Despite the decade long controversial discussion on the effect of nanometer confinement on the glass transition temperature (Tg) of ultrathin polymer films, there is still no consistent picture. Here, the dynamic calorimetric glass transition of ultrathin films of a blend, which is miscible in the bulk, is directly investigated by specific heat spectroscopy. By a self-assembling process, a nanometer thick surface layer with a higher molecular mobility is formed at the polymer/air interface. By measuring the dynamic calorimetric Tg in dependence on the film thickness, it was shown that the Tg of the whole film was strongly influenced by that nanometer thick surface layer, with a lower Tg. Since the observed thickness dependence of the dynamic Tg is similar to the thickness dependence of the Tg for thin films of homopolymers, it is concluded that also for homopolymer a highly mobile surface layer is relevant for the widely observed Tg depression.
Super glassy polymers such as poly(trimethylsilylpropyne) (PTMSP) or polymers with intrinsic microporosity (PIMs) play an important role in the current development of membrane materials for gas separation because of their high permeability and selectivity. Unfortunately, such materials which have a high fractional free volume (FFV) are prone to pronounced physical aging. The initial microporous structures approach a more dense state via local chain rearrangements which results in a dramatic reduction in the gas permeability. For the first time, broadband dielectric spectroscopy was employed to investigate the molecular dynamics of two representative groups of super glassy polymers: PIMs (PIM-1 & PIM-EA-TB) and Si-containing polynobornenes (PTCNSi1 & PTCNSi2). The dielectric behavior of the solution-cast polymeric films was measured by isothermal frequency scans during the different heating cycles in a broad temperature range. Structural relaxation of the films was observed during the measurements. Molecular relaxation processes following Arrhenius behavior with unusually high activation energies were observed for all the investigated polymers. The PIMs showed furthermore a significant conductivity in the glassy state which is explained with the formation of local intermolecular agglomerated structures due to interaction of π-electrons in aromatic moieties of the polymer backbone.
Polymeric membranes represent a low-cost, energy efficient solution for gas separation. Recently polymers of intrinsic microporosity (PIMs) have emerged as prestigious membrane materials featuring a large concentration of pores smaller than 1 nm, a BET surface area larger than 700 m2/g and high gas permeability and selectivity. Unusual chain structure combining rigid segments with sites of contortion gives rise to the intrinsic microporosity. However, this novel class of glassy polymers are prone to pronounced physical aging. The initial microporous structures approach a denser state via local small scale fluctuataions, leading to a dramatic reduction in the gas permeabilities. For the first time, dielectric relaxation spectroscopy with state-of-the-art high-resolution analyzers was employed to investigate three representative PIMs with a systematic change in chain rigidity: PIM-EA-TB 〉 PIM-1 〉 PIM-MDPH-TB. The molecular mobility, the charge transport and their response upon heating (aging) in the polymers were measured in a broad temperature range through isothermal frequency scans during different heating / cooling cycles. Multiple dielectric processes following Arrhenius behavior were observed for the investigated polymers. Local fluctuations, Maxwell-Wagner-Sillars (MWS) polarization and structural relaxation phenomena were discussed and attempted to be correlated with the structural features of PIMs. Moreover, all PIMs showed conductivity in the glassy state. The significant increase in the conductivity with increasing temperature far below the glass transition temperature of PIMs is explained in terms of the loosely packed microporous structure and the formation of local intermolecular agglomerates due to interaction of π-electrons in aromatic moieties of the polymer backbone.
High performance polymers of intrinsic microporosity (PIMs) have emerged as novel materials with broad applications from gas separation to electronic devices. Sufficiently rigid, even contorted polymer chains show only limited molecular mobility, therefore undergo inefficient packing and give rise to intrinsic microporosity with pore size generally smaller than 1 nm and BET surface areas larger than 700 m2/g. Further performance optimization and long-term stability of devices incorporating PIMs rely on our understanding of structure-processing-property relationships and physical aging, in which glass transition plays a key role. Up to now no glass transition temperature (Tg) of PIMs could be detected with conventional thermal analysis techniques before degradation. Decoupling the time scales responsible for the glass transition and the thermal decomposition is a reliable strategy to overcome this. This was achieved by employing fast scanning calorimetry (FSC) based on a chip sensor, which is capable to heat and cool a small sample (ng-range) with ultrafast rates of several ten thousand K/s. FSC provides definitive evidence of glass transition of a series of PIMs with a special consideration on the chain rigidity. The determined glass transition temperature of these PIMs follows the order of the rigidity of their backbone structures. FSC provides the first clear-cut experimental evidence of the glass transition of PIM-EA-TB with a Tg of 663 K, PIM-1 of 644 K and PIM-DMDPH-TB of 630 K at a heating rate of 1Χ104 K/s. Local fluctuations are featured in glass transition of highly rigid PIMs. As conformational changes are prevented by the backbone rigidity, the glass transition must rather be assigned to local small scale fluctuations.
