Properties of compatibilized nylon 6/ABS polymer blends

Nylon 6/poly(acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene)(ABS) blends were prepared in the molten state by a twin-screw extruder. Maleic anhydride-grafted polypropylene (MAP) and solid epoxy resin (bisphenol type-A) were used as compatibilizers for these blends. The effects of compatibilizer addition to the blends were studied via tensile, torque, impact properties and morphology tests. The results showed that the additions of epoxy and MA copolymer to nylon 6/ABS blends enhanced the compatibility between nylon 6 and ABS, and this lead to improvement of mechanical properties of their blends and in a size decrease of the ABS domains.

Efficient synthesis of aryl hydroxylactams by reducing imides with activated zinc dust

A series of aryl hydroxylactams (2a, 2b, 2d-2g, 2i-2k, 2m, and 2n) was synthesized by partially reducing aryl cyclic imides in moderate to excellent yields with activated zinc dust alone in acetic acid. This method was regiospecific and can be employed as an alternative for reported methods to partially reduce aryl cyclic imides.

Structure of Cyclic Aryl Thioester Dimer Based on o-Phthaloyl Dichloride and Bis(4-mercaptophenyl) Sulfide

A cyclic aryl thioester dimer was prepared by the reaction of o-phthaloyl dichloride and his (4-mercaptophenyl) sulfide in good yield under pseudo-high dilution conditions via interfacial polycondensation. The structure of the cyclic dimer was confirmed by a combination of MALDI-TOF-MS, FTIR, gel permeation chromatography and MM analyses. The X-ray diffraction study of the single crystal of cyclic thioester dimer obtained from two solutions reveals no severe internal strain on the cyclic structure.

Systematic study of the transfer of amino acids across the water/1,2-dichloroethane interface facilitated by dibenzo-18-crown-6

Facilitated ion transfer reactions of 20 amino acids with di.benzo-18-crown-6 (DB18C6) at the water/1,2-dichloroethane (W/DCE) interfaces supported at the tips of micro- and nano-pipets were investigated systematically using cyclic voltammetry. It was found that there were only 10 amino acids, that is, Leu, Val, Ile, Phe, Trp, Met, Ala, Gly, Cys, Gln (in brief), whose protonated forms as cations can give well-defined facilitated ion transfer voltammograms within the potential window, and the reaction pathway was proven to be consistent with the transfer by interfacial complexation/dissociation (TIC/TID) mechanisms. The association constants of DB 18C6 with different amino acids in the DCE (beta(0)), and the kinetic parameters of reaction were evaluated based on the steady-state voltammetry of micro- or nano-pipets, respectively The experimental results demonstrated that the selectivity of complexation of protonated amino acid by DB18C6 compared with that of alkali metal cations was low, which can be attributed to the vicinal effect arising from steric hindrance introduced by their side group and the steric bulk effect by lipophilic stabilization.

Compatibilization of polyamide-6/syndiotactic polystyrene blends using styrene/glycidyl methacrylate copolymers

Blends of polyamide-6 (PA6) with syndiotactic polystyrene (sPS) were prepared using a series of styrene/glycidyl methacrylate (SG) copolymers as compatibilizers. These copolymers are miscible with sPS, and the epoxide units in SG are capable of reacting with PA6 end groups. These copolymers thus have the potential to form SG-g-PA6 graft copolymers at the PA6/sPS interface during melt processing. This study focuses on the effects of functionality and concentration of the compatibilizer on the morphological, mechanical and crystallization behaviors of the blends.. In general, SG copolymers are effective in reducing the sPS domain size and improving the interfacial adhesion. About 5 wt% glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) is the optimum content in SG copolymer that produces the best compatibilization. Both the strength and modulus of the blend have been improved on addition of the SG copolymers, accompanying a loss in toughness when higher concentration copolymer is added. Incorporation of SG compatibilizers to PA6/sPS blend has little influence on the crystallization behavior of PA6 component but resulted in a steady reduction in intensity of crystallinity peak of sPS and simultaneous crystallization of sPS with PA6 is observed.

Reactive compatibilization of polyamide 6 with isocyanate functionalized ethylene-propylene copolymer

Reactive compatibilization of ethylene-propylene copolymer functionalized with allyl (3-isocyanato-4-tolyl) carbamate (TAI) isocyanate (EPM-g-TAI) and polyamide 6 (PA6) was investigated in this paper, FTIR analysis revealed the evidence of a chemical reaction between the end groups of PA6 and EPM-g-TAI. Thermal, rheological, morphological, and mechanical properties of the resultant system were examined, DSC analysis indicated that the crystallization of PA6 in Pa6/EPM-g-TAI blends was inhibited, due to the chemical reaction that occurs at the interface of PA6 and EPM-g-TAI. Rheological measurement showed that complex viscosity and storage modulus of PA6/EPM-g-TAI were both dramatically enhanced compared to those of PA6/EPM at the same blending composition. After examining the morphology of both blending systems, smaller particile sizes, more homogeneous distribution of domains and improved interfacial adhesion between matrix and domains were observed in the compatibilized system. Mechanical properties such as tensile strength. Young's modulus, flexural strength and modulus, as well as notched and un-notched impact strength of PA6/EPM-g-TAI blends were also found to improve gradually with increasing the content of grafted TAI.
