Abstract
An original method is proposed for preparing highly concentrated solutions of PAN copolymer in N-methylmorpholine-N-oxide (NMMO) and forming membranes for nanofiltration from these solutions. The high activity of the solvent with respect to the polymer provides short preparation time of spinning solutions in comparison with PAN solutions obtained in other solvents. The use of the rheological approach made it possible to find the optimal concentration for obtaining membranes. The formation of PAN membranes from the obtained solutions is proposed by the rolling method. The morphology of the formed membranes depends on the method of removing the precipitant from the sample. The features of the formed morphology of PAN membranes were studied by scanning electron microscopy. It was revealed that the use of water as a rigid precipitant leads to the formation of a homogeneous and symmetric morphology in the membrane. The average pore sizes in the membrane have been obtained by porosimetry. The study of the separating properties of PAN membranes revealed noteworthy values of the permeability and rejection for the anionic dyes Orange II and Remazol Brilliant Blue (74 and 97%, respectively). The mechanical properties of PAN membranes from solutions in NMMO are not inferior to analogs formed from commercially used direct solvents.

Improving Transverse Compressive Modulus of Carbon Fibers during Wet Spinning of Polyacrylonitrile. FIBERS 2022.

Abstract
The performance of carbon fibers depends on the properties of the precursor polyacrylonitrile (PAN) fibers. Stretching of PAN fibers results in improved tensile properties, while potentially reducing its compressive properties. To determine optimization trade-offs, the effect of coagulation conditions and the stretching process on the compressive modulus in the transverse direction (ET) was investigated. A method for accurately determining ET from polymer fibers with non-circular cross-sectional shapes is presented. X-ray diffraction was used to measure the crystallite size, crystallinity, and crystallite orientation of the fibers. ET was found to increase with decreasing crystallite orientation along the drawing direction, which decreases the tensile modulus in the longitudinal direction (EL) proportionally to crystallite orientation. Stretching resulted in greater crystallite orientation along the drawing direction for fibers formed under the same coagulation conditions. Increasing the solvent concentration in the coagulation bath resulted in a higher average orientation, but reduced the impact of stretching on the orientation. The relationship between ET and EL observed in the precursor PAN fiber is retained after carbonization, with a 20% increase in ET achieved for a 2% decrease in EL. This indicates that controlled stretching of PAN fiber allows for highly efficient trading off of EL for ET in carbon fiber.

The Role of Structure in Polymer Rheology: Review. Polymers (Basel) 2022; 14:polym14061262.

Abstract
The review is devoted to the analysis of the current state of understanding relationships among the deformation-induced structure transformations, observed rheological properties, and the occurrence of non-linear effects for polymer liquids (melts, solutions, and composites). Three levels of non-linearity are the base for consideration. The first one concerns changes in the relaxation spectra of viscoelastic liquids, which are responsible for weak non-linear phenomena. The second one refers to the strong non-linearity corresponding to such changes in the structure of a medium that leads to the emergence of a new relaxation state of a matter. Finally, the third one describes the deformation-induced changes in the phase state and/or the occurring of bifurcations and instability in flow and reflects the thermodynamic non-linear behavior. From a structure point of view, a common cause of the non-linear effects is the orientation of macromolecules and changes in intermolecular interaction, while a dominant factor in describing fluid dynamics of polymer liquids is their elasticity. The modern understanding of thixotropic effects, yielding viscoplastic materials, deformation-induced phase transition, and the experimental observations, demonstrating direct correlations between the structure and rheology of polymer liquids, are the main objects for discussion. All these topics are reviewed and discussed mainly on the basis of the latest five-year publications.

Abstract
A series of model experiments were carried out on drops of poly-(o-aminophenylene)naphthoylenimide (PANI-O) solutions in N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) surrounded by a coagulant of different compositions as starting points of defect-free fibers spinning by the wet method. An influence of compositions of dopes and multicomponent coagulants on the diffusion kinetics and drop morphology during coagulation has been investigated. It is shown that the defining parameters of the coagulation process are viscoelastic properties of the polymer solution and the diffusion activity of the coagulant, meaning not only the rate of coagulation but also the presence/absence of macro defects in the resulting fiber. The optimal morphology of as-spun fibers is obtained by coagulation of solution in a three-component mixture containing solvent and two precipitants of different activity (water and ethanol). The chosen coagulating mixture was used for the fiber spinning of PANI-O with different molecular weights dopes, and fibers with sufficiently high strength (~250 MPa), moduli (~2.1 MPa), and elongation at break (50%) were obtained.

Abstract
This study focuses on the preparation of carbon fiber precursors from solutions of cellulose in N-methylmorpholine-N-oxide with the addition of bis(trimethylsilyl)acetylene, studying their structural features and evaluating thermal behavior. The introduction of a silicon-containing additive into cellulose leads to an increase in the carbon yield during carbonization of composite precursors. The type of the observed peaks on the differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) curves cardinally changes from endo peaks intrinsic for cellulose fibers to the combination of endo and exo peaks for composite fibers. For the first time, coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) values were obtained for Lyocell fibers and composite fibers with bis(trimethylsilyl)acetylene (BTMSA). The study of the dependence of linear dimensions of the heat treatment fibers on temperature made it possible to determine the relation between thermal expansion coefficients of carbonized fibers and thermogravimetric curves, as well as to reveal the relationship between fiber shrinkage and BTMSA bis(trimethylsilyl)acetylene content. Carbon fibers from composite precursors are obtained at a processing temperature of 1200 °C. A study of the structure of carbon fibers by X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, and transmission electron microscopy made it possible to determine the amorphous structure of the fibers obtained.

Abstract
The effect of temperature and storage time at a constant temperature on the stability of poly-(o-aminophenylene)naphthoylenimide solutions in N-methylpyrrolidone has been analyzed using rotational rheometry. A temperature–time window beyond which an irreversible change in the viscoelastic properties of solutions due to cumulative reactions of continuous polymerization and possible intramolecular cyclization has been detected. The influence of polymer concentration and its molecular weight on the rheological properties of solutions determining the choice of methods for their processing into fibers and films has been investigated. The effect of non-solvents (water and ethanol) additives on the rheological properties of solutions and the kinetics of their coagulation has been studied. Dosed addition of non-solvent into the solution promotes a significant increase in the viscoelasticity up to gelation and phase separation. Non-solvent presence in the polymer solutions reduces the activity of the solvent, accelerates the movement of the diffusion front at coagulation, and minimizes the number of macro defects. The combination of parameters under investigation renders it possible for the first time to develop new principles modifying dopes for wet spinning into aqueous or ethanol coagulation bath and finally to obtain a heat- and fire-resistant polynaphthoylenebenzimidazole fibers.

Abstract
Replacing the aqueous coagulation bath with an alcoholic one during spinning cellulose fibers (films) from solutions in N-methylmorpholine-N-oxide leads to a radical restructuring of the hydrogen bonds net of cellulose and, as a result, to a change in the structure and properties of the resulting material. By the method of optical interferometry, it was possible to identify the intrinsic features of the interaction of the solvent and isomeric alcohols and to construct phase diagrams of binary systems describing the crystalline equilibrium. Knowledge of the phase states of the system at different temperatures renders it possible to exclude the process of solvent crystallization and conduct the spinning in pseudo-homogeneous conditions. The structure and morphology of samples were studied using X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy methods for a specific coagulant. When the solution under certain conditions is coagulated at contact with alcohol, the solvent may be in a glassy state, whereas, when at coagulation in water, an amorphous-crystalline structure is formed. The structural features of cellulose films obtained by coagulation of solutions with water and alcohols help to select potential engineering or functional materials (textile, packaging, membranes, etc.), in which their qualities will manifest to the best extent.

Abstract
The influence of introducing acrylic acid (AA) into the reaction mixture with acrylonitrile at the synthesis of copolymers by free-radical polymerization (FRP) and radical polymerization with reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) on the rheological properties of their solutions in dimethyl sulfoxide, as well as on the capability to spin fibers by the mechanotropic method, is analyzed. The influence of AA dosing conditions on the rheological properties of the solutions in the concentration range above the crossover point was not revealed. In the case of RAFT synthesis, the rheological properties differ distinctively in the high concentration region that is expressed by unusual viscoelastic characteristics. Dilute solution viscometry revealed the influence of the comonomer loading order on the interaction intensity of the copolymer macromolecules with a solvent, which is more pronounced for samples synthesized by FRP and can be associated with the copolymers' molecular structure. Fiber spinning from solutions of polyacrylonitrile and its copolymers (PAN) synthesized by the RAFT method was not able to achieve a high degree of orientation drawing, while for polymers with a wider molecular weight distribution synthesized by FRP, it was possible to realize large stretches, which led to high-quality fibers with strength values up to 640 MPa and elongation at a break of 20%.

Abstract
This research examines the possibilities of regulating the structure of cellulose precursor fibers spun from solutions in N-methylmorpholine-N-oxide when replacing aqueous coagulation baths with thermodynamically softer alcohol baths at different temperatures. The fibers were spun by the dry jet–wet method in isobutanol coagulation baths with a temperature of 25 °C and 70 °C. The study of the phase state of the solvent–coagulant system using viscometry and point cloud methods revealed the temperature-concentration regions of the single-phase and two-phase states of the system. Using elemental analysis, DSC (differential scanning calorimetry) and XRD (X-ray diffraction) methods, it was shown that just spun fibers, due to the presence of a residual amount of solvent and coagulant in them, regardless of the temperature of the precipitator, have an amorphous structure. Additional washing with water completely washed away the solvent and coagulant as well, however, the structure of cellulose changes slightly, turning into a defective amorphous-crystalline one. A relationship was found between the phase composition, structure, and properties of just spun fibers and precursors washed with water. Thus, the loss of structural ordering of both just spun and washed cellulose fibers leads to a decrease in strength characteristics and an increase in deformation. The thermal behavior of the fibers is determined by their phase composition. Fibers just spun into hot alcohol containing a coagulant and traces of solvent acquire thermal stability up to 330 °C. During the pyrolysis of the obtained precursors up to 1000 °C, the value of the carbon yield doubles. The amorphized structure of the obtained fibers allows us to consider it as a model when analyzing the transformation of the structure of precursors during thermolysis.

Compositions Based on PAN Solutions Containing Polydimethylsiloxane Additives: Morphology, Rheology, and Fiber Spinning. Polymers (Basel) 2020; 12:polym12040815. [PMID: 32260347 PMCID: PMC7240589 DOI: 10.3390/polym12040815] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/19/2020] [Revised: 03/31/2020] [Accepted: 03/31/2020] [Indexed: 11/20/2022] Open
Abstract
The effect of additives of polydimethylsiloxanes (PDMS) with various molecular weights on the morphology and rheological behavior of polyacrylonitrile (PAN) solutions in dimethyl sulfoxide has been analyzed. It was shown that only partial compatibility of the PDMS with the lowest molecular weight member of the homologous series studied—hexamethyldisiloxane—with PAN solution takes place. All other PDMS samples form emulsions with PAN solutions. The coalescence rate of PDMS drops depends on the viscosity ratio of the disperse phase and the continuous medium, which determines both the duration of dispersion preparation and the conditions for processing emulsions into fibers and films. An anomalous change in viscosity for a series of emulsions with different concentrations of additives, associated with the slippage, was detected. The relaxation properties of emulsions “feel” macro-phase separation. Modeling of the wet spinning process has shown that the morphology of the deposited solution drop reflects the movement of the diffusion front, leading to the gathering droplets in the center of the deposited formulation drop or to their localization in a certain arrangement. It was shown that the emulsion jets upon stretching undergo phase separation.

Films of Bacterial Cellulose Prepared from Solutions in N-Methylmorpholine-N-Oxide: Structure and Properties. Processes (Basel) 2020.

Abstract
In the present study, one of the possible methods of the bacterial cellulose processing is proposed via its dissolution in N-methylmorpholine-N-oxide using the stage of mechano-chemical activation of the solid polymer–solvent system. Preliminary solid-phase activation is apparently a decisive factor affecting the dissolution rate of bacterial cellulose in N-methylmorpholine-N-oxide. The effects of bacterial cellulose concentration, solvent nature, degree of polymerization and temperature on dissolution time were studied. The rheological behavior of the solutions does not change at 120 °C for at least half an hour that allowed us to process such solutions for films preparation. The films from these solutions by means of dry-wet jet spinning in aqueous coagulant were formed. The structure of the nascent cellulose and formed films was tested by the X-ray diffraction method and SEM. The thermal behavior of the films revealed an increase in the carbon yield for the formed films compared to the nascent bacterial cellulose. The process of film pyrolysis is accompanied by exothermic effects, which are not typical for wood cellulose. Some reasons of such thermal behavior are considered.

MATERIALS 2019; 12:ma12213490. [PMID: 31731389 PMCID: PMC6862234 DOI: 10.3390/ma12213490] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/27/2019] [Revised: 10/17/2019] [Accepted: 10/22/2019] [Indexed: 11/18/2022]
Abstract
A new approach to the synthesis of polynaphthoylenebenzimidazoles and heat resistant fiber spinning has been developed using an environmentally friendly and energy efficient method, which operates with solutions of pre-polymers based on 3,3’,4,4’-tetraaminodiphenyl ether and 1,4,5,8-naphthalenetetracarboxylic acid dianhydride in N-methylpyrrolidone. Rheological properties of polymer reaction solutions and appropriate coagulant mixtures were investigated for further wet spinning process. The coagulation process was investigated through microscopic observation of solution droplets which imitate jet/fiber cross section surrounded with coagulants of different composition. For the case of the most optimal viscoelastic properties of dopes the best coagulant was found to be a ternary mixture ethanol/water/NMP (20/10/70). Fibers were prepared through the wet spinning from pre-polymers of various molecular weight characterized by intrinsic viscosity. As a result, complex yarns were spun, and their morphology was characterized and mechanical properties were measured. The strength of ~300 MPa and elastic modulus of ~2 GPa and elongation at break of ~20% were reached for the best fibers at average diameter of ~20 µm. After heat treatment “Lola-M” fibers do not burn and do not support combustion in open flame.

Abstract
Comparative studies of the structure and thermal behavior of cellulose and composite precursors with additives of silyl-substituted acetylene and alkoxysilanes were carried out. It is shown that the introduction of silicon-containing additives into the cellulose matrix influenced the thermal behavior of the composite fibers and the carbon yield after carbonization. Comparison of the activation energies of the thermal decomposition reaction renders it possible to determine the type of additive and its concentration, which reduces the energy necessary for pyrolysis. It is shown that the C/O ratio in the additive and the presence of the Si–C bond affected the activation energy and the temperature of the beginning and the end of the pyrolysis reaction.
