Effect of Added Poly (vinyl pyrrolidone) during Condensation on Properties of Poly(p-phenylene terephthalamide)Pulp

Poly(p-phenylene terephthalamide)(PPTA)pulp was prepared by polycondensation of the p-phenylene diamine(PPDA)with terephthaloyl chloride(TPC)in the completely anhydrous solvent system of N-methyl pyrrolidone(NMP)having calcium chloride,in the presence of poly(vinyl pyrrolidone)(PVP)having a viscosity average molecular weight lower than 40 000.It was confirmed that the polycondensation could be accelerated,the inherent viscosity of the polymer could be increased,and the polymers could be fibrillated more easily by the addition of the PVP.FTIR and X-ray spectra proved that PVP had not combined into molecular chains of the resultant PPTA pulps.The morphology of the resultant pulps,the effect of viscosity average molecular weight,amount and adding mode of PVP on inherent viscosity,specific surface area,and mean length of the resultant pulps were discussed in detail.And the friction and wear properties of the compound reinforced by the resultant pulps were simply investigated.

Mechanical Property and Crystal Structure of Poly(p-phenylene terephthalamide)(PPTA) Fibers during Heat Treatment under Tension

The relationship between property and structure of poly( p-phenylene terephthalamide)( PPTA) was investigated for the purpose of obtaining products with better performance. 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).

CRYSTAL STRUCTURE AND MORPHOLOGY OF NASCENT SAMPLES OF SYMMETRIC AROMATIC POLYESTERS——Ⅰ.POLY(P-PHENYLENE TEREPHTHALATE)

The morphology and crytal structure of poly(p-phenylene terephthalate) (PPT), prepared by confined thin filmmelt (CTFMP) and solution (CTFSP) and bulk solution polymerization, were characterized by transmission electronmicroscopy, electron dimaction and molecular modeling. The unit cell is monoclinic (P2_1/a space group) with parameters a =7.89, b = 5.49, c = 12.65 A, α=γ= 90°, β=100.33°, density = 1.48 g/cm^3, the a, b and β values differing slightly from thosereported previously in the literature. A degree of variation in relative intensities of hk0 reflections in, apparently, untilted[001] ED patterns was observed from a given sample, suggesting some variation in molecular packing. ED evidence wasfound for a second phase, with [001] appearing the same as for phase Ⅱ of the related poly(p-oxybenzoate) (PpOBA)polymer. CTFMP crystals polymerized above 220℃ (up to 370℃) and CTFSP crystals polymerized at 300℃ consisted oflamellae 100-200 A thick.

CRYSTAL STRUCTURE AND MORPHOLOGY OF NASCENT SAMPLES OF SYMMETRIC AROMATIC POLYESTERS——Ⅱ. POLY(p-PHENYLENE 2,6-NAPHTHALATE)

Confined thin film melt polymerization (CTFMP) of naphthalene chloride/hydroquinone (NCMQ, 1/1, molar)mixtures at polymerization temperatures (T_p) below ca. 300℃ resulted in relatively thick, elongated crystals. Polymerizationof NC/HQ above 300℃ between glass yielded well-formed lamellar crystals ca. 100 A thick. Phase Ⅰ and Ⅱ [001] EDpatterns were obtained for all T_p, the relative amount of phase Ⅰ increasing with T_p. Polymerization of naphthalenedicarboxylic acid/hydroquinione diacetate 1/1 mixtures at high T_p also yielded lamellar crystals that "curled up" off of thesubstrate. When the high temperature CTFMP polymerization was conducted between mica, aggregates of lamellae on-edgedeveloped but epitaxial growth did not occur. Epitaxial growth of lamellae between mica could be obtained, however, byconfined thin film solution polymerization, with both of the latter samples yielding apparently related ED patterns from adifferent unit cell than phase Ⅰ or Ⅱ. Fiber patterns, obtained from sheared samples, indicated considerably greater crystaldisorder than in the nascent crystals. Refinement of the phase Ⅰ unit cell parameters, based on the [001] and [01 1] EDpatterns, with modeling based on Cerius^2, suggests a monoclinic phase Ⅰ unit cell with a = 7.76, b = 5.71, c = 14.99 A, α = γ= 90°, β= 99.7°, ρ = 1.47 g/cm^3, space group P12_1/al.

Study on the behaviors of poly（p-phenylene benzobisoxazole） in coagulation

Poly（p-phenylene benzobisoxazole）（PBO） is a candidate of high performance materials for many applications. 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）.

ELECTRICALLY CONDUCTIVE COMPOSITE PREPARED BY ELECTROCHEMICAL POLYMERIZATION OF PYRROLE IN POLY-(p- PHENYLENE TEREPHTHALAMIDE) MATRIX

The preparation of PPy/PPTA conductive composite films by electrochemical method is presented.The first step is to cast a thin layer of poly (p-phenylene-terephthalamide) (PPTA) on a slice of Pt working electrode. The second step is to electrochemically polymerize pyrrole on the PPTA/Pt working electrode. Both of the electrical conductivity and the mechanical properties of the PPy/PPTA composite film are better than those of the pure PPy film, and the film has excellent flexibility at low temperature, even in liquid nitrogen.The SEM picture of the cross-section of PPy,/PPTA composite film showed that the two components were well mixed.Cyclic voltammograms of PPy,/PPTA film in aqueous solution showed that the conductive films could be reduced and reoxidized.

Molecular simulation technique was used in an examination of the possibilities of chain packing in the crystalline state for poly(ρ-phenylene benzobisthiazole).It has been found that one reason of hardly forming very ordered crystal of the polymer is the existence of so many stable positions of interchain interaction along chain axis.

Non-aqueous Suspension Polycondensation in NMP-Ca Cl_2/Paraffin System―A New Approach for the Preparation of Poly(p-phenylene terephthalamide)

A non-aqueous suspension polycondensation method was proposed to proceed the reaction ofp-phenylenediamine and terephthaloyl chloride for the preparation of poly（p-phenylene terephthalamide） （PPTA）. The system was operated with NMP-CaCI2 solution as the dispersed phase and inert liquid paraffin as the continuous phase. Each of NMP-CaCl2 solution microdroplet suspended in paraffin served as a microreactor where the polycondensation took place. According to the results of TGA, XRD, IR, SEM and EA, PPTA with good quality was obtained through this novel method, and a number of main factors influencing this process were investigated to determine the optimum condition for the preparation of PPTA. Besides, this two-phase polycondensation system brings many unique advantages compared to the conventional solution polycondensation method, including a sealed reaction environment keeping the reactants away from oxygen and water, easy removal of HCI to promote the reaction, well-controlled temperature and low viscosity which means less energy cost.

Kinetics Analysis on the Polycondensation Process of Poly(p-phenylene terephthalamide):Experimental Verification and Molecular Simulation

The conventional low-temperature method of solution polycondensation was developed to realize the reaction of p-phenylenediamin and terephthaloyl chloride for the preparation of poly（p-phenylene terephthalamide）（PPTA）. Some main factors influencing this process were investigated to determine the optimum condition for high molecular weight. Experiment showed significant slowing of the reaction and gradual deviation of second-order reaction kinetics due to diffusion control. These phenomena were studied theoretically via dynamic Monte Carlo simulation. A concise expression,n～c0^-0.88·t^0.37, was proposed to describe the diffusioncontrolled polycondensation process as a function of the monomer concentration and reaction time. The theoretical results provided a good description of diffusion-effected kinetics for the polycondensation process of PPTA, and demonstrated good agreement with the experimental data. Some differences of scaling relations between model and experiment results were also discussed.

Laser-induced Janus graphene/poly(p-phenylene benzobisoxazole)fabrics with intrinsic flame retardancy as flexible sensors and breathable electrodes for fire-fighting field

Conventional firefighting clothing and fire masks can protect firemen’s safety to a certain extent,whereas cannot perceive environmental hazards and monitor their physical status in real time.Herein,we fabricated two kinds of Janus graphene/poly(pphenylene benzobisoxazole)(PBO)fabrics by laser direct writing approach and evaluated their performance as intelligent firefighting clothes and fire masks.The results showed that the Janus graphene/PBO fabrics were virtually non-combustible and achieved the highest thermal protection time of 18.91 s ever reported in flame,which is due to the intrinsic flame-retardant nature of PBO fibers.The graphene/PBO woven fabrics-based sensor showed good repeatability and stability in human motion monitoring and NO_(2)gas detection.Furthermore,the piezoelectric fire mask was assembled with graphene/PBO nonwoven fabric as electrode layer and polyvinylidene fluoride(PVDF)electrostatic direct writing film as piezoelectric layer.The filtration efficiency of the fire mask reaches 95%for PM_(2.5)and 100%for PM_(3.0),indicating its effective filtration capability for smoke particles in fires.The respiratory resistance of the piezoelectric fire mask(46.8 Pa)was lower than that of commercial masks(49 Pa),showing that it has good wearing comfort.Besides,the piezoelectric fire mask can be sensitive to the speed and intensity of human breathing,which is essential for indirectly reflecting the health of the human body.Consequently,this work provides a facile approach to fabricate next-generation intrinsic flame-retardant smart textiles for smart firefighting.

Effect of Curing Poly(<i>p</i>-Phenylene Sulfide) on Thermal Properties and Crystalline Morphologies

Commercial poly(p-phenylene sulfide) (PPS) was thermally cured, which resulted in an increase of molecular weight due to cross-linking. Non-isothermal crystallization studies of samples cured for up to 7 days at 250?C showed a monotonous increase of crystallization temperature compared to pure PPS. However, a further increase of curing time decreased the crystallization temperature. The change in the half-crystallization time (t1/2) was similar to the crystallization temperature. Thus, the cross-linking of PPS affected crystallization behaviors significantly. To a certain extent, crosslinks acted as nucleation agents, but excessive cross-linking hindered the crystallization. Morphologies observed by polarized optical microscopy suggested that thermal curing for as little as 1 day contributed to the spherulitic structure having a smaller size, that was not observed with pure PPS.

The kinetics of mesophase formation of a lyotropic aromatic polyamide from isotropic state has been studied by means of depolarized light intensity. Avrami type analysis of the data gives an exponent close to 1, which suggests the nucleation followed by one-dimensional growth. No influence of blending flexible chain from nylon 6 to the aromatic polyamide on the kinetics of mesophase formation was observed.

RAMAN SPECTROSCOPIC STUDY ON THE CHAIN CONFORMATION OF ELECTROSYNTHESIZED POLY(ρ-PHENYLENE)FILMS

Poly（p-phenylene） （PPP） films have been electrochemically deposited on mirrorlike stainless steel （SS） electrode surfaces by direct oxidation of benzene in boron trifluoride diethyl etherate （BFEE） solutions at a constant applied potential of 1.7 V （versus Ag/AgCl）. The chain conformations of as-grown PPP films have been studied by Raman spectroscopy. The results demonstrated that high synthesis temperature favors the formation of planar PPP, and the conformation of planar PPP can be changed into torsional PPP by cooling treatment.

CONFORMATION AND CHAIN PACKING STRUCTURES OF POLY (ρ-PHENYLEN BENZOBISTHIAZOLE) BY MOLECULAR SIMULATION

The conformation, the chain packing stabilization and the unit cell modeling of poly(p-phenylene benzobisthiazole) have been investigated by using molecular simulation techniquein the present work. A coupling behaviour of σ-bond rotations at either side of the pheny-lene ring or the heterocyclic ring was found surely to exceed a length of the repeat unit ofthe polymer chain. For a single chain model, the stable torsion angle of the repeat resultedat 14°. In the crystalline cell minimization, the dihedral angle along the polymer chaincould even be stabilized in various values. It therefore indicates that the intermolecularinteraction does play a considerable role for this polymer forming the conformation. Ac-cording to cohesive energies calculated for these unit cell models, the torsion angle in themost stable crystalline cell is 0°. When the chains packing together, there exist so manyenergy stable wells along the chain axis 0.35--0.36nm apart from neighbouring chains.Most of the unit cells have quite closed cohesive energies. These factors thus cause thedifficulty of forming an unique perfect crystalline structure of the polymer. The presentstudy suggested a number of reasonable unit cells, and the most stable crystalline structurefor this polymer that is monoclinic, non-primitive unit cell.
