ACS OMEGA 2024; 9:36398-36410. [PMID: 39220507 PMCID: PMC11360024 DOI: 10.1021/acsomega.4c03904] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/23/2024] [Revised: 08/05/2024] [Accepted: 08/07/2024] [Indexed: 09/04/2024]
Abstract
One-component epoxy resins (OCERs) with improved stability (shelf life) and controlled curing temperatures were prepared using epoxy resins and polyoxazoline-imidazole (POZ-Im) based thermal latent curing agents (TLCs). POZ homopolymers with molar masses of 1000, 2000, and 5000 g/mol were obtained via cationic ring-opening polymerization (CROP) of 2-ethyl-2-oxazoline, 2-propyl-2-oxazoline, 2-pentyl-2-oxazoline, and 2-phenyl-2-oxazoline. TLCs were prepared by physically entrapping imidazole, the curing agent, in the POZ matrix at the homopolymer/Im (HP/Im) ratios of 1:1 and 5:1 and characterized by FTIR and TGA. TLCs were then mixed with bisphenol A diglycidyl ether (DGEBA) to obtain OCERs with Im concentrations of 1, 3, and 5 wt %. Dynamic DSC tests were performed to determine the effect of the pendant group and molar mass of POZ, the POZ/Im ratio, and Im concentration on the curing behavior of the OCERs, whereas isothermal DSC tests were carried out to examine their thermal stability and optimal curing temperatures. Optical microscopy was performed to study the compatibility of the TLCs with DGEBA. This study showed that the dispersion quality of TLCs is highly associated with the compatibility of POZs and DGEBA, which affected the release of Im, thus left limit temperatures of curing. In addition, higher left limit temperatures were obtained when the POZ/Im ratio increased. Isothermal DSC results conformed to the improved stability and better thermal latency of the samples with a POZ/Im ratio of 5:1. Moreover, the higher left limit temperatures were obtained with the lowest molar mass of POZ due to the better interaction between the -OH end group of POZ and Im. The shelf life of PEOZ 1K-Im 5:1 1% OCER was predicted at -20, 0, and 20 °C, with an estimated 15.3 days at 20 °C using isothermal DSC and rheology at 50, 60, and 70 °C. Overall, this research contributes to the development of OCERs by introducing POZ-Im complexes as novel TLCs. The findings shed light on the importance of compatibility in achieving optimal dispersion and release of Im and the role of the POZ/Im ratio and POZ molar mass in controlling left limit temperatures, ultimately influencing the curing behavior of OCERs.

Abstract
This review focuses on recent advances in concrete durability using graphene oxide (GO) as a nanomaterial additive, with a goal to fill the gap between concrete technology, chemical interactions, and concrete durability, whilst providing insights for the adaptation of GO as an additive in concrete construction. An overview of concrete durability applications, key durability failure mechanisms of concrete, transportation mechanisms, chemical reactions involved in compromising durability, and the chemical alterations within a concrete system are discussed to understand how they impact the overall durability of concrete. The existing literature on the durability and chemical resistance of GO-reinforced concrete and mortar was reviewed and summarized. The impacts of nano-additives on the durability of concrete and its mechanisms are thoroughly discussed, particularly focusing on GO as the primary nanomaterial and its impact on durability. Finally, research gaps, future recommendations, and challenges related to the durability of mass-scale GO applications are presented.

Abstract
One-component epoxy resins (OCERs) are proposed to overcome the energy inefficiency and processing difficulties of conventional two-component epoxy resins by employing latent curing agents, specifically thermal latent curing agents (TLCs). Despite recent progress, the need for TLCs with a simple preparation method for different curing agents, epoxy resins, and process conditions remains. Here, tailorable TLCs were prepared by forming complexes between imidazole (Im) and amphiphilic polyoxazoline copolymers with tunable structures and properties by a solvent evaporation method. The obtained TLCs were manually mixed with DGEBA to prepare OCERs. The miscibility of the complexes with DGEBA was studied, considering the functionalities of copolymers. The curing behaviors of TLCs were compared using dynamic Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) studies considering the side chain and composition of the copolymers, copolymer:Im ratio, and concentration of Im in DGEBA. The curing behavior of the promising OCERs was studied by isothermal DSC studies to investigate their stability at different temperatures and curing rate at elevated temperatures revealing the stability of these OCERs.

Abstract
Poly(2-oxazoline)s (POZs) are widely investigated for their applications in various fields due to their unique properties. To exploit and combine different characteristics of the POZ family, 2-oxazoline monomers can be copolymerized to prepare tailor-made copolymers with the desired glass transition temperature (T g), melting temperature (T m), amphiphilicity, and functionality. Here, we report the synthesis and characterization of 2-oxazoline monomers and a range of POZ copolymers produced, thereof. 2-Propyl-2-oxazoline (PrOZ) and 2-pentyl-2-oxazoline (PeOZ) monomers were synthesized by two different methods starting from nitriles or carboxylic acids. A number of POZ copolymers were synthesized by copolymerization of 2-ethyl-2-oxazoline (EOZ) with either one of PrOZ, PeOZ, or 2-phenyl-2-oxazoline (PhOZ) at three different compositions (25:75, 50:50, and 75:25) and three molecular weights (1000, 2000, and 5000 Da). The successful synthesis of the monomers and copolymers was demonstrated through their structural analysis by 1H NMR and FTIR. SEC results confirmed the targeted molar masses of the copolymers and living nature of the polymerization by showing low dispersity values. Thermal properties of the copolymers were studied using DSC and TGA. DSC studies revealed the amorph and random state of the copolymers with obtained T g values for the copolymers in the range of -3 to 84 °C depending on their molecular weight and type of the side chain. While the presence of longer aliphatic side chains resulted in lower T g values, the presence of 2-phenyl substituents on the polymer led to higher T g values. The decomposition temperatures determined by TGA were in the range of 328 to 383 °C depending on the molecular weight, composition, and side chain of the copolymers. It was observed that higher molecular weights led to higher T g values and decomposition temperatures. While copolymers with aliphatic side chains exhibited a single-step decomposition profile, the decomposition of copolymers having aromatic side chains occurred in multiple steps. The variations in the molecular weight, composition, and side chains of the copolymers resulted in a library of tailorable amphiphilic copolymers suitable for multiple applications ranging from biomedical applications to composite manufacturing.
