MATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2024; 17:1583. [PMID: 38612097 PMCID: PMC11012343 DOI: 10.3390/ma17071583] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/22/2024] [Revised: 03/22/2024] [Accepted: 03/26/2024] [Indexed: 04/14/2024]
Abstract
Nonmetallic ionic liquids (ILs) exhibit unique advantages in catalyzing poly (ethylene terephthalate) (PET) glycolysis, but usually require longer reaction times. We found that exposure to UV radiation can accelerate the glycolysis reaction and significantly reduce the reaction time. In this work, we synthesized five nonmetallic dibasic ILs, and their glycolysis catalytic activity was investigated. 1,8-diazabicyclo [5,4,0] undec-7-ene imidazole ([HDBU]Im) exhibited better catalytic performance. Meanwhile, UV radiation is used as a reinforcement method to improve the PET glycolysis efficiency. Under optimal conditions (5 g PET, 20 g ethylene glycol (EG), 0.25 g [HDBU]Im, 10,000 µW·cm-2 UV radiation reacted for 90 min at 185 °C), the PET conversion and BHET yield were 100% and 88.9%, respectively. Based on the UV-visible spectrum, it was found that UV radiation can activate the C=O in PET. Hence, the incorporation of UV radiation can considerably diminish the activation energy of the reaction, shortening the reaction time of PET degradation. Finally, a possible reaction mechanism of [HDBU]Im-catalyzed PET glycolysis under UV radiation was proposed.

Abstract
The effects of nanopore confinement on the crystallization and vitrification of a low molecular weight organic material, tris(4-cumylphenol)-1,3,5-triazine, are investigated using differential scanning calorimetry. The material shows cold crystallization and subsequent melting in the bulk state. Under the nanoconfinement of controlled pore glasses (CPG), cold crystallization and melting shift to lower temperatures. Crystallization kinetics are hindered in nanoconfinement, and no crystallization occurs in 13 nm diameter pores over the course of a week. Using a traditional Avrami analysis, the restricted crystallization under nanopore confinement is quantified; for crystallization at 80 °C, the Avrami exponent decreases with decreasing pore size and the overall crystallization rate is approximately 30 times slower for material confined in 50 nm diameter pores than the bulk. When compared at the temperature at which the crystallization rate is a maximum, the Avrami exponent is higher in nanoconfined samples and the crystallization rate is approximately 10 times slower for material confined in 50 nm diameter pores. Under CPG nanoconfinement, the glass transition temperature also decreases and shows two values; interestingly, the T(g) values further decrease with increasing crystallinity.

Abstract
The surface dynamics of amorphous and semicrystalline polymer films have been measured using helium atom scattering. Time-of-flight data were collected to resolve the elastic and inelastic scattering components in the diffuse scattering of neutral helium atoms from the surface of a thin poly(ethylene terephthalate) film. Debye-Waller attenuation was observed for both the amorphous and semicrystalline phases of the polymer by recording the decay of elastically scattered helium atoms with increasing surface temperature. Thermal attenuation measurements in the specular scattering geometry yielded perpendicular mean-square displacements of 2.7•10(-4) Å(2) K(-1) and 3.1•10(-4) Å(2) K(-1) for the amorphous and semicrystalline surfaces, respectively. The semicrystalline surface was consistently ∼15% softer than the amorphous across a variety of perpendicular momentum transfers. The Debye-Waller factors were also measured at off-specular angles to characterize the parallel mean-square displacements, which were found to increase by an order of magnitude over the perpendicular mean-square displacements for both surfaces. In contrast to the perpendicular motion, the semicrystalline state was ∼25% stiffer than the amorphous phase in the surface plane. These results were uniquely accessed through low-energy neutral helium atom scattering due to the highly surface-sensitive and nonperturbative nature of these interactions. The goal of tailoring the chemical and physical properties of complex advanced materials requires an improved understanding of interfacial dynamics, information that is obtainable through atomic beam scattering methods.

Abstract
The driving force of density fluctuation of amorphous polymer films under annealing processes was evaluated synthetically in terms of thermodynamics on the basis of the logarithmic light intensity as a function of annealing time. The time dependence of ln(I) of polyethylene (terephthalate) (PET) as an example for characterizing an amorphous state was classified into three stages: the first stage (stage I), where ln(I) showed insignificant changes with time; the second stage (stage II), where ln(I) increased linearly; and the third stage (stage III), where the intensity deviated from the linear relationship and tended to level off. The density fluctuation by chain diffusion, termed quasi-spinodal decomposition, in stage II was analyzed in terms of an increase of trans-conformation of an amorphous chain in stage I. To provide conclusive evidence, the orientation function of chain segments was calculated by using a lattice model that accounts for entropic and energetic characters. The former character is associated with segmental orientation due to the effect of chain stiffness of Kuhn segments characterized by a rod with a relatively large length-to-width ratio x , whereas the latter is associated with thermotropic systems with anisotropic polarizabilities. By using the theoretical orientation function, Hv light scattering patterns were calculated by a statistical approach in which the optical axis of a PET chain segment was chosen along the direction perpendicular to the benzene ring. This selection was justified by comparison of the three principal refractive indexes of a PET chain. The calculated patterns provided a clear X-type lobe, when the correlation between optical elements concerning the rotational fluctuation became stronger. The calculated patterns were in good agreement with the patterns observed in stage III. The series of experimental and theoretical results indicated that the conversion from gauche- to trans-conformation plays an important role to derive the density fluctuation of amorphous polymer chains associated with the initiation of crystallization.
