This article contains data on the synthesis and mechanical characterization of polysiloxane-based urea-elastomers (PSUs) and is related to the research article entitled “Influence of PDMS molecular weight on transparency and mechanical properties of soft polysiloxane-urea-elastomers for intraocular lens application” (Riehle et al., 2018) [1]. These elastomers were prepared by a two-step polyaddition using the aliphatic diisocyanate 4,4′-Methylenbis(cyclohexylisocyanate) (H12MDI), a siloxane-based chain extender 1,3-Bis(3-aminopropyl)-1,1,3,3-tetramethyldisiloxane (APTMDS) and amino-terminated polydimethylsiloxanes (PDMS) or polydimethyl-methyl-phenyl-siloxane-copolymers (PDMS-Me,Ph), respectively. (More details about the synthesis procedure and the reaction scheme can be found in the related research article (Riehle et al., 2018) [1]).
Amino-terminated polydimethylsiloxanes with varying molecular weights and PDMS-Me,Ph-copolymers were prepared prior by a base-catalyzed ring-chain equilibration of a cyclic siloxane and the endblocker APTMDS. This DiB article contains a procedure for the synthesis of the base catalyst tetramethylammonium-3-aminopropyl-dimethylsilanolate and a generic synthesis procedure for the preparation of a PDMS having a targeted number average molecular weight of 3000 g mol−1. Molecular weights and the amount of methyl-phenyl-siloxane within the polysiloxane-copolymers were determined by 1H NMR and 29Si NMR spectroscopy. The corresponding NMR spectra and data are described in this article.
Additionally, this DiB article contains processed data on in line and off line FTIR-ATR spectroscopy, which was used to follow the reaction progress of the polyaddition by showing the conversion of the diisocyanate. All relevant IR band assignments of a polydimethylsiloxane-urea spectrum are described in this article.
Finally, data on the tensile properties and the mechanical hysteresis-behaviour at 100% elongation of PDMS-based polyurea-elastomers are shown in dependence to the PDMS molecular weight.
Das forschungsgetriebene Lehrformat "Projektorientiertes Lernen" wird im Masterprogramm der Fakultät Angewandte Chemie der Hochschule Reutlingen von uns seit nunmehr einer Dekade eingesetzt und stetig weiter entwickelt. Dieses Format hat sich besonders bewährt, um methodische und fachliche Kompetenzen nachhaltig zu vermitteln. Es war uns ein Anliegen, auch anderen an der praxisorientierten Ausgestaltung der Lehre Interessierten unsere Erfahrungen mitzuteilen und unsere Vorgehensweise konkret vorzustellen. Dazu haben wir unsere bisher verwendeten Dokumente und Veröffentlichungen zu diesem Thema redigiert und stellen sie in dem vorliegenden Buch vor. In diesem von uns als "Kurshandbuch" für Anwender gedachten Werk finden sich unsere über Jahre gesammelten Erfahrungen mit der Organisation eines solchen Lehr- und Lernformats.
Structural and functional thermosetting composite materials are exposed to different kinds of stress which can damage the polymer matrix, thus impairing the intended properties. Therefore, self-healing materials have attracted the attention of many research groups over the last decades in order to provide satisfactory material properties and outstanding product durability. The present article provides a critical overview of promising self-healing strategies for crosslinked thermoset polymers. It is organized in two parts: an overview about the different approaches to self-healing is given in the first part, whereas the second part focuses on the specific chemistries of the main strategies to achieve self-healing through crosslinking. It is attempted to provide a comprehensive discussion of different approaches which are described in the scientific literature. By comparison of the advantages and disadvantages, the authors wish to provide helpful insights on the assessment of the potential to transfer the extensive present knowledge about self-healing materials and methods to surface varnishing thermoset coatings.
This article provides a general overview of the most promising candidates of bio based materials and deals with the most important issues when it comes to their incorporation into PF resins. Due to their abundance on Earth, much knowledge of lignin-based materials has already been gained and uses of lignin in PF resins have been studied for many decades. Other natural polyphenols that are less frequently considered for impregnation are covered as well, as they do also possess some potential for PF substitution.
High quality decorative laminate panels typically consist of two major types of components: the surface layers comprising décor and overlay papers that are impregnated with melamine-based resins, and the core which is made of stacks of kraft papers impregnated with phenolic (PF) resin. The PF-impregnated layers impart superior hydrolytic stability, mechanical strength and fire-resistance to the composite. The manufacturing involves the complex interplay between resin, paper and impregnation/drying processes. Changes in the input variables cause significant alterations in the process characteristics and adaptations of the used materials and specific process conditions may, in turn, be required. This review summarizes the main variables influencing both processability and technological properties of phenolic resin impregnated papers and laminates produced therefrom. It is aimed at presenting the main influences from the involved components (resin and paper), how these may be controlled during the respective process steps (resin preparation and paper production), how they influence the impregnation and lamination conditions, how they affect specific aspects of paper and laminate performance, and how they interact with each other
(synergies).
Despite the significant potential offered by the powder coating process for finishing wood-based materials, until now it has been used almost exclusively for coating Medium Density Fiber Board (MDF). A research project aims to develop processes and substrate materials that will allow lightweight boards to be powder coated.
Comments on “Solubility parameter of chitin and chitosan”, Carbohydrate Polymers 36 (1998) 121–127
(2017)
Results on the solubility parameters of chitin and chitosan presented in the paper DOI: 10.1016/S0144-8617(98)00020-4 were recalculated and data evaluation was redone. A number of misprints, erroneous calculations and data evaluations were found with respect to Hansen as well as total solubility parameters as derived according to group contribution methods by Hoftyzer-Van Krevelen and Hoy’s system. Revised numerical data are presented.
Recycling of poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) is of crucial importance, since worldwide amounts of PETwaste increase rapidly due to its widespread applications. Hence, several methods have been developed, like energetic, material, thermo-mechanical and chemical recycling of PET. Most frequently, PET-waste is incinerated for energy recovery, used as additive in concrete composites or glycolysed to yield mixtures of monomers and undefined oligomers. While energetic and thermo-mechanical recycling entail downcycling of the material, chemical recycling requires considerable amounts of chemicals and demanding processing steps entailing toxic and ecological issues. This review provides a thorough survey of PET-recycling including energetic, material, thermo-mechanical and chemical methods. It focuses on chemical methods describing important reaction parameters and yields of obtained reaction products. While most methods yield monomers, only a few yield undefined low molecular weight oligomers for impaired applications (dispersants or plasticizers). Further, the present work presents an alternative chemical recycling method of PET in comparison to existing chemical methods.
In der vorliegenden Studie werden typische, kommerziell erhältliche und mit unterschiedlichen Lacksystemen beschichtete MDF für den Küchenbereich hinsichtlich ihres Emissionsverhaltens und deren Oberflächeneigenschaften verglichen: wasserlack-, lösungsmittellack- und pulverlackbasierte Oberflächen. Es zeigt sich, dass eine Pulverlackierung insgesamt zu höherwertigen Produkten führt, sowohl in Bezug auf Kratzbeständigkeit, Haftung und Beständigkeit gegen feuchte Hitze als auch insbesondere in Bezug auf VOC-Emissionen. Die Wasserlackoberflächen schnitten hinsichtlich ihres Emissionsverhaltens deutlich besser ab als die lösemittelbasierten Beschichtungssysteme und zeigten in Bezug auf die Oberflächeneigenschaften mit einer Ausnahme vergleichbare Kennwerte.
Block-copolyesters of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and polyethylene naphthalate (PEN) were synthesized via reactive extrusion. The influence of processing parameters on the material properties on a molecular scale like degree of trans-esterification, block length, and degree of randomness were investigated. The varied process factors were extrusion temperature and rotational speed. The effects of process parameter variation were investigated by 1H-NMR-spectroscopy. The experimental results show a clear dependence of the molecular properties on the processing conditions. By using statistical experimental design (DoE), it was possible to prepare defined copolyesters from PET and PEN without addition of further chemicals. With a degree of randomness between 0.05 and 0.5, the presence of an actual copolyester was confirmed when appropriate extrusion conditions were applied. The reactive extrusion process was confirmed to be suitable to produce defined block-copolyesters in a predictable and reproducible way. It was possible to produce designed sequence lengths, which could be adjusted within a range of 11–136 repeating units in the case of PET and, in the case of PEN, of 2.5–26. The produced materials can be used as barrier materials or barrier coatings to protect substrates against molecular oxygen and water vapour, e.g., in organic photovoltaic applications or food packaging. The described method is a one-pot alternative method to the previously described chemical recycling pathway.
