Waterborne polyurethane emulsions were synthesized with isophorone diisocyanate(IPDI), dihydromethyl propionic acid(DMPA) and poly-ε-caprolactone glycol(PCL), and then reacted with hydroxy-ethyl acrylate(HEA) and 3-aminopropyltriethoxylsilane(APTES) to cap the terminal -NCO groups. The polyurethane emulsions were used to copolymerize with acrylates to synthesize the modified waterborne polyurethane-acrylate hybrid emulsions. The structure, thermal stability and crystallinity of modified polyurethane were studied by FTIR, TG, XRD and the mechanical properties of modified polyurethane films was also investigated. The results show that crystallization of the modified waterborne polyurethane decreases and thermal stability is improved. When the mass fraction of acrylate is 20% and APTES content is 15%, tensile strength of the modified polyurethane films can reach 23.9MPa and elongation at break is 247%.

In order to improve the mechanical properties and water resistance of thermoplastic starch (TPS), a novel reinforcement of dialdehyde lignocellulose (DLC) was prepared via the oxidation of lignocellulose (LC) using sodium periodate. Then, the DLC-reinforced TPS composites were prepared by an extrusion and injection process using glycerol as a plasticizer. The DLC and LC were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and the effects of DLC content on the properties of the DLC/TPS composites were investigated via the evaluation of SEM images, mechanical properties, thermal stability, and contact angles. XRD showed that the crystallinity of the DLC decreased due to oxidation damage to the LC. SEM showed good dispersion of the DLC in the continuous TPS phase at low amounts of DLC, which related to good mechanical properties. The tensile strength of the DLC/TPS composite reached a maximum at a DLC content of 3 wt.%, while the elongation at break of the DLC/TPS composites increased with increasing DLC content. The DLC/TPS composites had better thermal stability than the neat TPS. As the DLC content increased, the water resistance first increased, then decreased. The highest tensile strength and elongation at break reached 5.26 MPa and 111.25%, respectively, and the highest contact angle was about 90.7°.

Thermoplastic vulcanizates (TPVs) based on epoxidized natural rubber (ENR) and polypropylene (PP) were prepared in an internal mixer at 180°C. The effects of curing systems (i.e., sulfur and peroxide) on morphological, rheological, thermal and mechanical properties were studied. It is found that the sulfur cured TPVs show higher tensile strength, tear strength and elongation at break than those cured with the DCP systems. The rheological analysis indicates that TPVs cured with DCP system show lower apparent shear viscosity than those with sulfur system. SEM studies show that TPVs vulcanized with DCP system exhibit smaller and finely dispersed rubber domains, which provides it higher thermal stability than sulfur cured TPVs.

Cellulose-based composites packaging films containing various amounts of modified nano-SiO2 were prepared by utilizing hardwood pulps as natural cellulose resource through NMMO-technology to improve the mechanical properties, permeability for oxygen and water vapor etc. The tensile strength, elongation at break, thermal stability and permeability of the cellulose composites films as a function of the content of modified nano-SiO2 were studied. The investigation suggested that the capabilities of composites films with 2 wt.% modified nano-SiO2 added were improved largely, compared to pure cellulose films, when the diameter of particles is 30nm. The tensile strength was increased from 8.95 to 17.37 MPa and the elongation at break of the cellulose composites films was improved from 41.11% to 58.34%. The composites films with rational mechanical properties have adjustable oxygen permeability (7.90×10-15-72.18×10-15 cm3·cm/cm2·s·Pa) and water vapor permeability (7.12×10-13-5.32×10-13g·cm/cm2·s·Pa). And thermal stability of the composites films was advanced through adding modified nano-SiO2.

In this study, we fabricated para-aramid flexible angle-ply-laminated hybrid composites based on weft-knitted reinforcements. Here, four kinds of weft-knitted reinforcements with rib, interlock, punto di roma, and two-thread fleecy were prepared using para-aramid spun yarn. They were then compounded with silicone rubber and waterborne polyurethane–acrylate using the coating method. The layers were angle-plied to produce stab-resistant, weft-knitting-reinforced, flexible laminated hybrid composites. Tensile and tearing strengths of the para-aramid-knitted reinforcements were investigated. Relevant response analyses were chosen to evaluate the influence of three independent variables, including weft-knitted structures, matrix types, and ply orientations. The results showed that the mechanical properties of the composites were dependent on weft-knitted structures and matrix types. The fabric with high strength and the degree in approximate isotropy of stress in all composites was most suited for the reinforcement of the flexible stab-resistant composite. The optimum design with the best stab-resistant property was punto di roma/waterborne polyurethane–acrylate with a ply orientation angle of [0°/0°/0°/0°]. The interlaminar adhesion of flexible stab-resistant composite based on waterborne polyurethane–acrylate can be improved by increasing the surface roughness of fabric structure or modifying its surface.

Biopolymer cassava starch(ST)-chitosan(CS)/montmorillonite(MMT) nanocomposites were prepared in which MMT was used as nanofiller and diluted acetic acid was used as solvent for dissolving and dispersing cassava starch, chitosan and MMT. XRD and TEM results indicated the formation of an exfoliated nanostructure of ST-CS/MMT nanocomposites. Mechanical properties testing revealed that at the range of the MMT content from 1wt% to 5wt%, tensile strength of the composites increased from 30MPa to 37.5MPa. But the elongation at break fall from 28% to 22% with the increasing of MMT. Obviously, MMT had an enforced effect to the composites. TGA results showed that the nano-dispersed MMT improved the thermal stability of the matrix systematically with the increasing of MMT.

PI/nano-Al2O3hybrid films were prepared by ultrasonic-mechanical method. Before addition, nano-Al2O3particles were firstly modified with different coupling agents. The micromorphology, thermal stability, mechanical properties, and electric breakdown strength of hybrid films were characterized and investigated. Results indicated that nano-Al2O3particles were homogeneously dispersed in the PI matrix by the addition of coupling agents. The thermal stability and mechanical properties of PI/nano-Al2O3composite films with KH550 were the best. The tensile strength and elongation at break of PI composite film were 119.1 MPa and 19.1%, which were 14.2% and 78.5% higher than unmodified PI composite film, respectively.

The focus of this study is to investigate the influences of ethylene octene copolymer (EOC) and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) on the mechanical properties (tensile and flexural properties) and thermal stability of polypropylene (PP)-based thermoplastic elastomer nanocomposites. The PP/EOC blends were prepared at two different weight ratios, 80/20 and 70/30 (w/w) PP/EOC, and each blend was compounded with a very low loading of CNTs (0.5-2 parts by weight per hundred of the PP/EOC resin). Both PP/EOC blends exhibited a higher elongation at break but a lower tensile strength, Young’s modulus and flexural strength as compared with those of the neat PP. However, the addition of CNTs caused a slightly change in the tensile strength and flexural strength but a more significant change in the Young’s modulus and elongation at break. The Young’s modulus and elongation at break of the PP/EOC blends were improved by filling with the appropriate loading of the CNTs. Thus, the combined use of EOC and CNTs can provide the balanced mechanical properties to the PP. Moreover, thermogravimetric analysis showed an improvement in the thermal stability of PP by the presence of both EOC and CNTs.
