Preparation, characterization, and properties of fluorene-containing benzoxazine and its corresponding cross-linked polymer

JOURNAL OF POLYMER SCIENCE (IN TWO SECTIONS), Issue 18 2010
Ying-Ling Liu
Abstract A benzoxazine compound (FDP-FBz), which possesses a fluorene group and two terminal furan groups, and its corresponding cross-linked polymer (CR-FDP-FBz) have been prepared using 4,4,-(9-fluorenylidene)diphenol (FDP), furfurylamine, and formaldehyde as precursors. The chemical structure of FDP-FBz has been characterized with Fourier-transform infrared and 1H nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopies. FDP-FBz displays a melting point at about 173 °C and a processing window of 52 °C as well as good solubility in common organic solvents. As a result, FDP-FBz can be fabricated in both molten and solution processes. Under an excitation at 365 nm, FDP-FBz exhibits a photoluminescent (PL) emission at about 445 nm. The PL intensity of FDP-FBz is as high as sixfolds of the intensity recorded with FDP. CR-FDP-FBz displays a glass transition temperature of 215 °C, a high storage modulus of 3.1 GPa, a 10% weight loss at 384 °C, and a high char yield of 56 wt % (900 °C, in nitrogen). Moreover, CR-FDP-FBz has a high refractive index of about 1.65 as a result of incorporating fluorene groups to its structure. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Recent advancement on polybenzoxazine,A newly developed high performance thermoset

JOURNAL OF POLYMER SCIENCE (IN TWO SECTIONS), Issue 21 2009
Yusuf Yagci
Abstract Polybenzoxazine is a newly developed addition polymerized phenolic system, having a wide range of interesting features and the capability to overcome several shortcomings of conventional novolac and resole type phenolic resins. They exhibit (i) near zero volumetric change upon curing, (ii) low water absorption, (iii) for some polybenzoxazines Tg much higher than cure temperature, (iv) high char yield, (v) no strong acid catalysts required for curing, (vi) release of no byproduct during curing and also possess thermal and flame retarding properties of phenolics along with the mechanical performance. Though benzoxazine based materials possess several advantages, they have not yet became very attractive to the industries. To improve the mechanical properties and processibility several strategies have been reported including (i) synthesis of benzoxazine monomers with additional functionality, (ii) incorporation of benzoxazine in polymer chain, and (iii) benzoxazine based composites or alloys. In this article, we have discussed about the recent development of benzoxazine chemistry. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Polym Sci Part A: Polym Chem 47: 5565,5576, 2009 [source]

Preparation and properties of epoxy/phenol formaldehyde novolac/hexakis(methoxymethyl)melamine hybrid resins from in situ polymerization

JOURNAL OF APPLIED POLYMER SCIENCE, Issue 6 2008
Xinghong Zhang
Abstract Based on the self-condensation of hexakis(methoxymethyl)melamine (HMMM), the condensation between HMMM and phenol formaldehyde novolac resin (n-PF), and the addition reaction of diglycidyl ether of biphenyl A (DGEBA) and n-PF, a homogeneous, transparent hybrid thermoset was prepared via in situ polymerization of DGEBA, n-PF, and HMMM. No phase separations were observed even for the DGEBA/n-PF/HMMM hybrid thermoset containing 40 wt % HMMM. These hybrid thermosets had high glass-transition temperatures (98,127°C from differential scanning calorimetry and 111,138°C from dynamic mechanical analysis), excellent thermal stability with high 5 wt % decomposition temperatures (>322°C), high char yields (>24 wt %), and improved flame retardancy with high limited oxygen indices (>28.5). The excellent overall properties of these hybrid resins may lead to their applications in high-performance "green" electronic products. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci, 2008 [source]

Abstract Several novel aromatic poly(ether ketone)s containing pendant methyl groups and sulfone linkages with inherent viscosities of 0.62,0.65 dL/g were prepared from 2-methyldiphenylether and 3-methyldiphenylether with 4,4,-bis(4-chloroformylphenoxy)diphenylsulfone and 4,4,-bis (3-chloroformylphenoxy)diphenylsulfone by electrophilic Friedel,Crafts acylation in the presence of N,N -dimethylformamide with anhydrous AlCl3 as a catalyst in 1,2-dichloroethane. These polymers, having weight-average molecular weights in the range of 57,000,71,000, were all amorphous and showed high glass-transition temperatures ranging from 160.5 to 167°C, excellent thermal stability at temperatures over 450°C in air or nitrogen, high char yields of 52,57% in nitrogen, and good solubility in CHCl3 and polar solvents such as N,N -dimethylformamide, dimethyl sulfoxide, and N -methyl-2-pyrrolidone at room temperature. All the polymers formed transparent, strong, and flexible films, with tensile strengths of 84.6,90.4 MPa, Young's moduli of 2.33,2.71 GPa, and elongations at break of 26.1,27.4%. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
