Sulfonated poly(ether ether ketone)/poly(vinylpyrrolidone) acid–base polymer blends for direct methanol fuel cell applicationJournal of Polymer Science, Part B: Polymer Physics - Tập 44 Số 3 - Trang 565-572 - 2006
Han‐Lang Wu, M. Chen‐Chi, Hsu‐Chiang Kuan, Chung‐Hao Wang, Chih‐Yuan Chen, Chin‐Lung Chiang
AbstractAcid–base polymer blends for polymer electrolyte membranes have been
prepared by blending sulfonated poly(ether ether ketone) (SPEEK) with
poly(vinylpyrrolidone) (PVP) to reduce methanol uptake and to decrease methanol
permeability while maintaining high proton conductivity. The acid‐base
interaction occurring on the sulfonic acid group and on the tertiary amide group
was characterized by ... hiện toàn bộ
Effect of flocculated structure on rheology of poly(butylene terephthalate)/clay nanocompositesJournal of Polymer Science, Part B: Polymer Physics - Tập 43 Số 19 - Trang 2807-2818 - 2005
Defeng Wu, Chixing Zhou, Wei Yu, Fan Xie
AbstractThe microstructure and rheological property of poly(butylene
terephthalate) (PBT)/epoxy/montmorillonite nanocomposites (PCNs) were
investigated. For the study, PCNs were prepared by melt intercalation in clay
content of 4 wt % and, epoxy loadings were varied from 2 to 4 wt %. The
intercalated PCNs are characterized by different techniques such as transmission
electron microscopy, Fourier t... hiện toàn bộ
FTIR analysis of hydrogen bonding in amorphous linear aromatic polyurethanes. II. Influence of styrene solventJournal of Polymer Science, Part B: Polymer Physics - Tập 32 Số 8 - Trang 1315-1320 - 1994
Fu Cai Wang, M Feve, T. M. Lam, Jean‐Pierre Pascault
AbstractFourier‐transform infrared (FTIR) spectral studies were carried out on a
polyurethane in styrene solutions at styrene concentrations from 30 to 90%
(w/w). NH vibrations were studied in the stretching and bending regions. The
results demonstrated that the NH groups of the polyurethane can hydrogen bond
not only with the CO groups but also with other groups in this system. The

Effect of acidification treatment and morphological stability of sulfonated poly(arylene ether sulfone) copolymer proton‐exchange membranes for fuel‐cell use above 100 °CJournal of Polymer Science, Part B: Polymer Physics - Tập 41 Số 22 - Trang 2816-2828 - 2003

AbstractDirectly copolymerized wholly aromatic sulfonated poly(arylene ether
sulfone) copolymers derived from 4,4′‐biphenol, 4,4′‐dichlorodiphenyl sulfone,
3,3′‐disulfonated, and 4,4′‐dichlorodiphenyl sulfone (BPSH) were evaluated as
proton‐exchange membranes for elevated temperature operation (100–140 °C).
Acidification of the copolymer from the sulfonated form after the nucleophilic
step (conden... hiện toàn bộ
Influence of chemical composition and sequence length on the transport properties of proton exchange membranesJournal of Polymer Science, Part B: Polymer Physics - Tập 44 Số 16 - Trang 2226-2239 - 2006

AbstractOne of the integral parts of the fuel cell is the proton exchange
membrane. Our research group has been engaged in the past few years in the
synthesis of several sulfonated poly(arylene ether) random copolymers. The
copolymers were varied in both the bisphenol structure as well as in the
functional groups in the backbone such as sulfone and ketones. To compare the
effect of sequence length... hiện toàn bộ
Molecular design of functional polymer surfacesJournal of Polymer Science, Part B: Polymer Physics - Tập 42 Số 16 - Trang 2942-2956 - 2004
Jeffrey T. Koberstein
AbstractThree design principles are presented that allow for the molecular
design of functional polymer surfaces: surface segregation, surface structure,
and surface reorganization. These design principles are illustrated by a
description of the behavior of model end‐functional polymers that accurately
reflect the general behavior of essentially all possible linear functional
polymer architectures... hiện toàn bộ
Annealing induced microstructure and fracture resistance changes in isotactic polypropylene/ethylene‐octene copolymer blends with and without β‐phase nucleating agentJournal of Polymer Science, Part B: Polymer Physics - Tập 48 Số 20 - Trang 2108-2120 - 2010
Xiaoxi Li, Haiyan Wu, Liang Han, Ting Huang, Yong Wang, Hongwei Bai, Zuowan Zhou
AbstractPrevious work showed that annealing induced the great improvement of
fracture resistance of β‐iPP, relating to the decreased number of chain segments
in the amorphous region. To further prove the rationality of this observation,
in this work, the ethylene‐octene copolymer (POE) toughened isotactic
polypropylene (iPP) blends with or without β‐phase nucleating agent (β‐NA) were
adopted and t... hiện toàn bộ

AbstractThe IPI‐POSS‐modified epoxy resin (IPEP) was prepared from
isocyanato‐propyldinethylsilyl‐isobutyl‐POSS (IPI‐POSS) and diglycidyl ether of
bisphenol A epoxy resin. The steric hindrance of the IPEP bulky POSS side chain
improved the curing activation energies. The POSS particles sizes were about 2–3
nm and dispersed uniformly. At lower IPEP concentration (POSS < 12 wt %), the
