[Research on structure of MC-nylon 6/aramid composites by spectroanalysis method].

The Kevlar fiber, treated with toluene-2,4-diisocyanate and caprolactam, was used to reinforce MC nylon 6. XPS showed the change in chemical components and spectra after fiber was treated. IR showed that the spectra of Kevlar fiber and MC-nylon 6 were incorporated purely when they were mixed, while the treated Kevlar fiber provided the activation in the ring-opening polymerization of caprolactam, and the amide groups of graft chains could form strong hydrogen bonds with matrix. These graft chains and hydrogen bonds would contribute to improving interfacial bonding between MC-nylon 6 and Kevlar fiber. XRD indicated that the induction of Kevlar fiber had no effect on the cryastalline style of MC-nylon 6 obviously, however, the crystals had better seasonal structure. The crystals of MC-nylon 6/Kevlar fiber composites were more perfect than that of MC-nylon 6/Kevlar untreated fiber composites with the same amount of Kevlar fiber. The increase of Kevlar fiber contributed to forming perfect a spherulite when the mass concentration of Kevlar fiber was less than 2%, however, the more the Kevlar fiber, the less the content of a spherulite when the mass concentration of Kevlar fiber was more than 2%.

[FTIR research on the modification of plant oil pitch binders by polyester waste].

Various plant oil pitchs (cottonseed pitch, bean oil pitch, and mixed plant oil pitch) were used to prepare the plant oil pitch binders for casting. They were treated by polyester waste and processed by several technics such as esterifying. In the mean time, FTIR and TG were adopted to learn the structure, property, and sclerous mechanism of the binders. From the comparison with synthetic fat binder, the authors can see that the treated binders have similar components. They also have many excellent properties such as higher dry tensile strength and slower deflation velocity, which equal to or even exceed the properties of synthetic fat binder. Therefore, the treated binders, which were cheaper, can be used to make class I mold and core binders.

[Research on the modification of Kevlar fiber by polypropylene glycol and cis-2-butene-1,4-diol].

The mechanism of the modification of Kevlar fiber by polypropylene glycol(PPG) and cis-2-butene-1, 4-diol was studied in the paper, the authors learned the esterification of toluene-2, 4-diisocyanate (TDI) onto Kevlar fiber by infrared spectrum. In the mean time, the infrared spectrograms of the productions which steadily disposed by PPG and butendiol were analysed respectively, the result showed that the intensity of the bands was reinforced at about 1700-1720 cm(-1) after the samples were steadily disposed, that is to say, the group of --NCO has been stabilized into --NHCO group, the effect of steady disposal was obvious; but the disposal effect of butendiol was apparently better than PPG's at the same condition. Finally, the authors compared the influence of different mol rates between TDI and butendiol on the productions. Based onthe consequence, excessive butendiol would prevent the Kevlar fiber from farther reaction, therefore, the mol rate between TDI and butendiol should approach 1:1.

[Study on the modification of short chain phoshate ammonium salt of bentonites].

The Organobentonites were synthesized by means of the ionexchange reaction of Na+ between tetramethylammonium chloride and tetrabutylammonium chloride quaternary ammonium salts, and sodium base bentonites. The authors used FTIR, X-ray diffraction diagram and DSC thermograms to characterize the structure of the modified bentonites, and discussed the effect of different quaternary ammonium salt on the properties of organobentonites. The results showed that ions of the surfactants had entered into the chip layer of the bentonites, changed the hydrophilic environment of the chip layer into a hydrophobic environment, increased the distance among the chip layers, and improved the compatibility between montmorillonite andthe organic phases. All of these have laid a base for the preparation of nanometer composite material of high polymer/bentonite.

[Surface grafting modification and stabilization of Kevlar fiber].

Chemical disposal was used to bring the activity group onto the surface of Kevlar fiber for the purpose of surface grafting modification. The interfacial constitution of the grafting of toluene-2,4-diisocyanate (TDI) onto Kevlar fiber was determined by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. In the mean time, hexyl-lactam stabilization and poly-glycol (400, PEG) stabilization on the grafted product were also studied. The effects of different nTDI:nPEG ratios on the production's interfacial constitution was analysed. It is concluded that the stabilization took place on the surface. The intensity of the bands relented at about 3300 cm(-1) and was reinforced at about 1700-1720 cm(-1) when the ratio of nTDI:nPEG = 1:3, but when the ratio is 1:1 and 1:2, the bands at about 3 300 and 1700-1720 cm(-1) are almost the same.

[Research of FTIR and XRD study on the organic modification of bentonites].

Organobentonites were prepared to improve the compatibility between bentonites and organic phase. The change of lamellar structure after organic modification was observed. Na+ -bentonites and octadecylamine were used to exchange the Na+ which is in the layers of bentonites, and the organobentonites were obtained. Both FTIR and DTA-TG proved that octadecylamine entered the layers of bentonites, and XRD showed that the lamellar distance increased from 1.4 nm to 4.3 nm. Based on the experiment, most of the properties of Na+ -bentonites such as the ethylene blue adsorbed by bentonites, cation exchange capacity and the like are better than Ca2+ -bentonites'. The bentonites modified by octadecylamine improved the hydrophobic ability and widened the lamellar distance of bentonites, which contributes to enhancing the whole properties of composites.

[The research on the surfacial modification of organic high-performance Kevlar fiber].

In the paper the authors tried to use chemical disposal to bring the activity mass onto the surface of Kevlar fiber with the purpose of surface graft modification. In the paper the authors used the FTIR spectra to discuss the graft of toluene-2, 4-diisocyanate onto Kevlar fiber. The authors studied and analysed the effect of hydrolytic time on the content of -O-H group of the production, and the effect of hydrolyzation and hexyl-lactam steadily disposing on the graft reaction. The result showed that the content of -O-H group increased after hydrolyzation, it's helpful for the graft reaction, and hexyl-lactam steadily disposing made the graf product more stable. Through the research the authors came to the conclusion that by bringing some activity masses onto the fiber surface the authors can improve the interface of fiber/resin effectively.
