The characteristic temperature of curing system was measured for calculating kinetic parameters and establishing curing reaction kinetic equations. The results show that activation energy (Ea) of uncatalyzed HTPB-TDI curing system is 51.29 kJmol-1, and TPB decreases Ea to 46.43 kJ'mol-1. Catalyst lowers reaction temperature and shortens curing time through decreasing ac- tivation energy of curing reaction and accelerating reaction rate. TPB can increase the reaction rate at 27 ℃ to the value of uncatalyzed system at 80 ℃. The catalytic activity reaches the maximum when concentration is 0.5 %.展开更多

The steric and highly electron-releasing nature of the catalyst was probably responsible for the resulting polymers with high molecular weight and narrow molecular weight distribution(Mw/Mn=1.25 to 1.36). The effects of polymerization conditions on the catalytic activity, molecular weight and stereo-regularity of the products were investigated in detail. Especially, the content of TMA in MAO used in polymerization of butene-1 had a profound influence on polymer microstructure. The structural properties of the polybutene-1 product were characterized by 13 C NMR, GPC, DSC and WAXD. The results indicated that the polybutene-1 was isotacticity-rich(at 0 ℃, [mmmm] reached up to 60.3%) and the relative content of methylene pentad sequences [mmmm] of the polymer increased with a decreasing temperature.展开更多

Herein, a novel hydrazine-bridged covalent triazine polymer(HB-CTP) was first designed and synthesized through simple polymerization of cyanuric chloride with 2,4,6-trihydrazinyl-1,3,5-triazine. The resultant HB-CTP exhibited good CO_2 capture capacity(8.2 wt%, 0 °C, and 0.1 MPa) as well as satisfactory recyclability after five consecutive adsorption-desorption cycles. Such a polymer was subsequently employed as a metal-free heterogeneous catalyst for the cyclo-addition of CO_2 with various epoxides under mild and solvent-free conditions,affording cyclic carbonates with good to excellent yields(67%–99%) and high functional-group tolerance. The incorporation of hydrazine linkages into HB-CTP's architecture was suggested to play the key role in activating epoxides through hydrogen bonding. Moreover, HB-CTP can be reused at least five times without significant loss of its catalytic activity.展开更多
