A Study on the Interfacial Compatibility, Microstructure and Physico-Chemical Properties of Polyimide/Organically Modified Silica Nanocomposite Membrane. Polymers (Basel) 2021; 13:1328. [PMID: 33919649 PMCID: PMC8072626 DOI: 10.3390/polym13081328] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/14/2021] [Revised: 04/06/2021] [Accepted: 04/11/2021] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Polyimide-silica (PI-Silica) composites are of tremendous research interest as high-performance materials because of their excellent thermal and mechanical properties and chemical resistance to organic solvents. Particularly, the sol-gel method of fabricating such composites is popular for manipulating their properties. In this work, PI-silica composite films are synthesized by the sol-gel method and thermal imidization from the solution mixtures of hydrolyzed tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) (or glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane (GPMS)) modified silica and an aromatic polyamic acid (PAA) based on 3,3',4,4'-biphenyl tetracarboxylic dianhydride (BPDA)-p-phenylenediamine (PDA). The phase morphology of composites is found to be controlled by the substitution of TEOS with GPMS. Solid-state NMR spectroscopy is used to confirm the structural components of silica and GPMS-modified silica, whereas FT-IR results confirm the complete imidization of polyimide and composite film and suggest successful incorporation of Si-O-Si bonds into polyimide. The thermal, optical transmittance, and dielectric constant characterizations of pure polyimide and composite films are also carried out. Thermal stability of pure polyimide is found to be increased significantly by the addition of silica, whereas the partial substitution of TEOS with GPMS decreases the thermal stability of the composite, due to the presence of the alkyl organic segment of GPMS. The optical transmittance and dielectric constant of the composite films are controlled by manipulating the GPMS content.

Abstract
This review paper examines the current state-of-the-art in fabrication of aligned fibers via electrospinning techniques and the effects of these techniques on the mechanical and dielectric properties of electrospun fibers. Molecular orientation, system configuration to align fibers, and post-drawing treatment, like hot/cold drawing process, contribute to better specific strength and specific stiffness properties of nanofibers. The authors suggest that these improved, aligned nanofibers, when applied in composites, have better mechanical and dielectric properties for many structural and multifunctional applications, including advanced aerospace applications and energy storage devices. For these applications, most fiber alignment electrospinning research has focused on either mechanical property improvement or dielectric property improvement alone, but not both simultaneously. Relative to many other nanofiber formation techniques, the electrospinning technique exhibits superior nanofiber formation when considering cost and manufacturing complexity for many situations. Even though the dielectric property of pure nanofiber mat may not be of general interest, the analysis of the combined effect of mechanical and dielectric properties is relevant to the present analysis of improved and aligned nanofibers. A plethora of nanofibers, in particular, polyacrylonitrile (PAN) electrospun nanofibers, are discussed for their mechanical and dielectric properties. In addition, other types of electrospun nanofibers are explored for their mechanical and dielectric properties. An exploratory study by the author demonstrates the relationship between mechanical and dielectric properties for specimens obtained from a rotating mandrel horizontal setup.

Abstract
Well-defined polymer brushes attached to nanoparticles offer an elegant opportunity for surface modification because of their excellent mechanical stability, functional versatility, high graft density as well as controllability of surface properties. This study aimed to prepare hybrid materials with good dispersion in different solvents, and to endow this material with certain fluorescence characteristics. Well-defined diblock copolymers poly (styrene)-b-poly (hydroxyethyl methyl acrylate)-co-poly (hydroxyethyl methyl acrylate- rhodamine B) grafted silica nanoparticles (SNPs-g-PS-b-PHEMA-co-PHEMA-RhB) hybrid materials were synthesized via surface-initiated activators regenerated by electron transfer atom transfer radical polymerization (SI-ARGET ATRP). The SNPs surfaces were modified by 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (KH-550) firstly, then the initiators 2-Bromoisobutyryl bromide (BIBB) was attached to SNPs surfaces through the esterification of acyl bromide groups and amidogen groups. The synthetic initiators (SNPs-Br) were further used for the SI-ARGET ATRP of styrene (St), hydroxyethyl methyl acrylate (HEMA) and hydroxyethyl methyl acrylate-rhodamine B (HEMA-RhB). The results indicated that the SI-ARGET ATRP initiator had been immobilized onto SNPs surfaces, the Br atom have located at the end of the main polymer chains, and the polymerization process possessed the characteristic of controlled/"living" polymerization. The SNPs-g-PS-b-PHEMA-co-PHEMA-RhB hybrid materials show good fluorescence performance and good dispersion in water and EtOH but aggregated in THF. This study demonstrates that the SI-ARGET ATRP provided a unique way to tune the polymer brushes structure on silica nanoparticles surface and further broaden the application of SI-ARGET ATRP.

Abstract
Bio-based polyamides with high transparency and low yellowness were synthesized using 4,4'-bis(trifluoroacetamido)-α-truxillic acid (ATA-F1) and 4,4'-bis(pentafluoropropionamido)-α-truxillic acid (ATA-F2) as a fluoroalkylated aromatic dicarboxylic acid, and various aromatic diamines. The introduction of fluorine side chains improved the transparency of the polyamide film, and suppressed its yellowness. On the other hand, water repellency, which should be a general characteristic of the fluorinated polymers, was not observed. By using ATA-F1 and various aromatic diamines, aromatic and fluorinated polyamides were obtained. In addition, these also demonstrated a high transparency and a low yellowness index. The heat resistance properties of all the obtained polyamides was over 250 °C, and the characteristics of the bio-based polyamides from 4-aminocinnamic acid derivatives were retained.
