PBO materials＇ properties are considered to be closely related to their fabrication process, especially coagulation. In this paper, the coagulation effect on the chemical and microstructure of PBO was investigated with the help of a PBO model compound, 2, 2＇-（ 1,4-phenylene） bis （5-amino-6-benzoxazolole）. During coagulation, the hetero-cyclic ring of the PBO structure was experienced cleavage and even being broken down completely under some extreme conditions. Wide-angle X-ray diffraction （WAXD） analysis showed that different coagulants could cause the microstructure difference in PBO materials. In a slow coagulation process, PBO molecular chains aligned more orderly in the side-by-side direction （200）.展开更多

PPTA fiber subjected to heat treatment under different conditions was intensively studied. Simultaneous wide-angle X-ray diffraction( WAXD) technique was introduced to study the changes of crystal structure. It was found that the tensile modulus was strongly sensitive to the levels of temperature and tension. The structure parameters including crystal size and crystal orientation after heat treatment evolve similarly to the tensile modulus,indicating a direct structure-property relationship. The lattic c-dimension increases after heat treatment and is greatly affected by the tension. An optimal temperature can be found around 400 ℃,where big change can happen in the crystal structure due to α-relaxation in the crystal region as supported in dynamic mechanical analysis( DMA).展开更多

The results indicated that the contact angle decreased remarkably from 84.7 to 63.5 after 3 min O 2 /Ar plasma treatment. SEM and AFM images showed that the surface of the treated PBO fibers became rather rough. In addition, XPS results suggested that the polar functional group （O=C- O） was introduced on the surface of the treated PBO fiber. The interfacial adhesion test showed that the interfacial shear strength （IFSS） and the interlaminar shear strength （ILSS） increased significantly by 63.54% and 130%, respectively. Moreover, the excellent tensile property of the PBO fibres was well preserved.展开更多
