This air-plasma-grafting-epoxy method yielded a noticeable enhancement in the interfacial adhesion between PBO fiber and thermoplastic matrix resin, with the interlaminar shear strength of the resulting composites increased by 66.7%. DSC and FTIR analyses were then used to study the curing behavior of epoxy coating on PBO fiber surface, deduce the possible grafting reactions and investigate the grafting mechanism. More importantly, TGA measurement showed that the grafting of epoxy onto PBO fiber had almost no effect on the composite heat resistance, and there was more thermoplastic matrix resin adhering to the fiber surface; the latter could also be clearly found in the SEM photos. Thereby, the air-plasma-grafting-epoxy treatment was proved to be an effective method for the improvement of continuous PBO fiber surface adhesive properties.展开更多

PLA was blended with poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ether acrylate(PEGA) and poly[poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ether acrylate](PPEGA, a comb-like copolymer), respectively. The results measured from phase contrast optical microscopy(PCOM) and differential scanning calorimetry(DSC) indicate that PLA and PEGA components are miscible, whereas PLA and PPEGA components are immiscible. The study of crystallization kinetics for PLA/PEGA and PLA/PPEGA blends by means of polarized optical microscopy(POM) and DSC indicates that both PEGA and PPEGA significantly increase the PLA spherulitic growth rates, G, although PLA/PPEGA blends are immiscible and the glass transition temperatures of PLA only have slight decreases. PPEGA component enhances nucleation for PLA crystallization as compared with PEGA component owing to the heterogeneous nucleation effect of PPEGA at the low composition of 20 wt%, while PLA crystallization-induced phase separation for PLA/PEGA blend might cause further nucleation at the high composition of 50 wt%. DSC measurement further demonstrates that isothermal crystallization kinetics can be relatively more enhanced for PLA/PPEGA blends than for PLA/PEGA blends. The "abnormal" enhancement in G for PLA in its immiscible blends can be explained by local interfacial interactions through the densely grafted PEGA side chains in the comb-like PPEGA, even though the whole blend system(PLA/PPEGA blends) represents an immiscible one.展开更多
