DSC Study on Micro-phase Separation of RIM Polyurethane Urea- Effect of Hard Segment Structure and Content on Micro-phase Separation

1.Experimental part
1.1 Raw material
Ammonia ester modified liquefied MDI (U-MDI ), NCO%=28.4 %, functionality 2, ethylene oxide terminated polypropylene oxide polyether (PPO), ZS-2185, Mn=2000, [K+]<5ppm, primary hydroxyl content>70%  in DETDA, 2,4-isomer/2,6-isomer=80/20. MDA and catalyst dibutyltin dilaurate are chemical reagents, catalyst dosage: 2.0×10-1g cat./g PPO.


1.2 Sample preparation
The raw materials are kept at 40 ℃. PPO, diamine chain extender and catalyst (component a) and u-MDI (component b) are mixed by 200g in a 50ml plastic beaker and poured into a mold with a Beder stirrer (1600r/min), the materials react quickly in the mold and are molded, the samples are taken out after 1-2 mins, the post-curing conditions are 120 ℃/30 min, and then maintained at 60℃ for 7 days.


1.3 DSC test
Du Pont 1090 thermal analyzer and its matching thermal analysis crucible was heated at -120~250℃ and temperature raise at 20℃/min in N2 atmosphere, and the sample was ~10 mg.


2.Results and discussion
2.1 Kinetics and Thermal Analysis of Polymerization
Fig. 1 is a DSC spectrum of a raw material. The main transition quantity of -62.3℃ in PPO curve is T2 of cell [-(CH3)CH-CH2-O-].
Fig.2 Relations of gel time and hard segment concentration of RIM polyurethane urea (PUU)

The results of fig. 2 show that RTM PUU polymerization is extremely fast.


As can be seen from fig. 3, MDA/PPO and Tga are significantly higher than DETDA / PPO


The difference between the two hard segment structures lies in the different chain extender structures (fig.4).

2.2 Thermal analysis below 0℃
In Table 1, ΔCps is heat capacity change of unit weighted pure soft segment at Tgs, and ΔCp is heat capacity change of unit weighted RIM PUU at Tgs; SR =ΔCp /Ws/ΔCps , in which Ws is weight fraction of soft segment in copolymer.

2.3 Thermal analysis above 0℃
From the DSC spectra of MDA and de TDA chain-extended RIM PUU (fig.5), it can be seen that there is an endothermic process in the range of about 100℃ above room temperature, and the endothermic width of MDA series is wider than that of DETDA series.


As can be seen from fig.5 and fig.6, de-sequencing temperature Tdis, de-sequencing starting temperature TCdis and de-sequencing enthalpy ΔHdis of the PUU with MDA chain extension change just a little with the increase of Wh.

What is silicon carbide whiskers and its application

Silicon carbide whiskers are a kind of single-crystal fiber with a certain length-to-diameter ratio, which has very good high temperature resistance and high strength. It is mainly used in toughening applications where high temperature and high strength applications are required. Such as: aerospace materials, high-speed cutting tools. At present, it has a very high performance-price ratio. Silicon carbide whiskers are cubic whiskers, and diamonds belong to a crystal form. They are the whiskers with the highest hardness, the largest modulus, the highest tensile strength and the highest heat resistance temperature. It is both α-type and β-type, in which β-type performance is better than α-type and has higher hardness (Mohs hardness of 9.5 or more), better toughness and electrical conductivity, anti-wear, high temperature resistance, especially earthquake resistance Corrosion-resistant, radiation-resistant, has been applied to aircraft, missile casings and engines, high-temperature turbi...

We have already used titanium dioxide powder in our lives.

Titanium is a chemical element, chemical symbol Ti, atomic number 22, located in the fourth cycle of the chemical periodic table, group IVB. It is a silver-white transition metal characterized by light weight, high strength, metallic luster and resistance to wet chlorine gas. The most common compound of titanium is titanium dioxide, which can be used to make white pigments. In the past, people used to mine titanium ore, the main purpose is to obtain titanium dioxide. 1.The nature of titanium dioxide Titanium dioxide (chemical formula: TiO2) is a white or bulk amphoteric oxide with a molecular weight of 79.83.
