聚砜酰胺的分子量对其超滤膜性能的影响——Ⅲ.热性能

对不同分子量的PSA 材料和由其制成的超滤膜的TGA、DSC 及FTIR 研究表明,PSA 会以氢键的形式吸附水份,被吸附的水份主要以单分子形式存在,双聚或多聚的也有,但较少;并且在温度升到40℃左右将全部游离出来,在120℃左右则全部气化离开PSA。PSA 材料在400℃以上才开始分解,其耐热性能随分子量的增大而降低。凝胶浴不同对PSA 膜的晶态影响不大。     

Epoxy-Polysulfone Networks as Advanced Matrices for Composite Materials

Compatibility between polysulfone (PSF) and epoxy oligomers in the melt state as well as the morphology and properties of alloys obtained were studied as a function of composition. The compatibility depends on the length and structure of epoxy molecules, and is best in the case of epoxysulfone oligomers (ESO).

The properties of hybrid matrices are determined by their composition and morphology. The most pronounced effects are observed in the regions of small concentrations of either component. A small quantity of PSF significantly improves thermal stability and heat resistance of the epoxy resin as well as its impact strength. On the other hand, on addition to PSF of small amounts of epoxysulfone oligomers, the processability of the matrix can be substantially improved. In particular, the melt viscosity decreases, and wetting and impregnation of fibrous reinforcement is facilitated. Besides, the matrix adhesion to fibers is increased.

Powdered PSF/ESO/curing agent mixtures are good for application in solvent-free technological processes of fibrous composites production, e.g. in electrostatic deposition of matrix particles onto a reinforcing fabric. Plastics based on hybrid matrices are distinguished by improved strength.     

Ultrafiltration of Myoglobin using Surface-Sulfonated Polysulfone Hollow Fiber

The usage of ionic polysulfone (PSF) hollow fiber for the ultrafiltration of protein was investigated. The surface of polysulfone hollow fiber was sulfonated through the Blanc chloromethylation reaction to become anionic. Characterization of the modified hollow fiber was performed including ion exchange titration, pure water permeation, and molecular sieving measurement. The performance of ultrafiltration of protein was evaluated using myoglobin at various pH values. The results show that the water contact angles and hydraulic resistance are markedly decreased, indicating that the surface-modified PSF hollow fibers are more hydrophilic. In addition, the retention of myoglobin depends on the pH of the solution. At a pH higher than the isoelectric point of myoglobin, both hollow fiber and the protein have the same charge sign, and both the flux of the solution and the retention are the highest. The sulfonated PSF hollow fiber may be used as a biomaterial for protein separation and purification.     

Phase behavior and density of polysulfone in binary fluid mixtures of tetrahydrofuran and carbon dioxide under high pressure: Miscibility windows

Mixtures of tetrahydrofuran (THF) and carbon dioxide (CO₂) were identified as new solvent systems for polysulfone. The miscibility and density of polysulfone in binary fluid mixtures of THF and CO₂ were investigated from 300 to 425 K at pressures up to 70 MPa. The influence of the CO₂ and polysulfone concentrations was studied, with the concentrations of the other two components kept constant. At a 4.5 wt % polymer concentration, the demixing pressures in a 10 wt % CO₂ and 90 wt % THF mixture increased with temperature (310–425 K) from 15 to 40 MPa. With increasing CO₂ concentration (from ca. 10 to 14 wt %), a significant increase (from 15 to 70 MPa at 310 K) was observed in the demixing pressures. Furthermore, with an increasing amount of CO₂, the nature of the phase boundary shifted from lower critical solution temperature behavior to upper critical solution temperature behavior. The influence of the polymer concentration was studied in the 0–5 wt % range at two CO₂ levels, with solvent compositions of 10 wt % CO₂ and 90 wt % THF and 13 wt % CO₂ and 87 wt % THF. The system with a higher level of CO₂ (13 wt %) showed highly unusual phase behavior: on pressure–composition and temperature–composition diagrams, the system displayed two distinct regions of miscibility. In the system with 10 wt % CO₂, the distinct regions of miscibility that were observed in the system with 13 wt % CO₂ partially overlapped and led to a W‐shape phase boundary. The densities of the polymer solutions were measured from the one‐phase region through the demixing point into the two‐phase region at a constant temperature. No significant change in density was found around the phase boundary; this indicated that the coexisting phases had similar densities, as is often the case with liquid–liquid phase separation in polymer solutions under high pressure. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Fabrication of polysulfone asymmetric hollow‐fiber membranes by coextrusion through a triple‐orifice spinneret

Polysulfone (PSf) asymmetric hollow‐fiber membranes, which have a dense outer layer but a loose inner layer, were tentatively fabricated by coextrusion through a triple‐orifice spinneret and a dry/wet‐phase inversion process. Two simple polymer dopes were tailored, respectively, for the dense outer layer and the porous inner layer according to the principles of the phase‐inversion process. By adjusting the ratio of the inner/outer extrusion rate, the hollow‐fiber membranes with various thicknesses of outer layers were achieved. The morphology of the hollow‐fiber membranes was exhibited and the processing conditions and the water permeability of the membrane were investigated. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

β-C位引入供电子羟基增强季铵化聚砜膜的热碱稳定性

以氯甲基化的聚砜(CMPSf)为基材,与N-甲基二乙醇胺和N,N-二甲基乙醇胺反应,分别制备了β-C具有供电子羟基的N-甲基二乙醇胺季铵化聚砜膜(PSf-MDOH)和N,N-二甲基乙醇胺季铵化聚砜膜(PSf-DMOH)。在60℃、1 mol/L的KOH溶液中浸泡6 h后,β-C具有供电子羟基的PSf-DMOH膜和PSf-MDOH膜的离子传导率略有下降,但仍保持了良好的膜尺寸稳定性,而β-C无羟基的三乙胺季铵化聚砜膜发生破碎,完全丧失膜形态,表明供电子羟基的引入显著提高了膜的热碱稳定性。同时,2种膜的性能比较发现,低离子交换容量(IEC)时,PSf-MDOH膜的离子传导率高于PSfDMOH膜,但随着IEC的升高,PSf-MDOH膜吸水率急剧增加,膜内有效离子浓度下降,离子传导率低于PSf-DMOH膜。     

Thermal and Barrier Properties of Organoclay-filled Polysulfone Nanocomposites

Organo-modified fluorohectorite (OFH) clay-filled polysulfone (PSf) nanocomposites were prepared by a solution casting method. The dispersion of OFH clay in PSf nanocomposites was investigated using X-ray diffraction (XRD), atomic force microscopy (AFM), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Thermal analysis revealed that incorporation of organoclay increased the thermal stability and glass transition temperature (T_g) of nanocomposites. The barrier properties of the nanocomposites studied were found to be significantly improved. It is worth mentioning that the improved thermal stability and barrier performance of these nanocomposites with the addition of organoclay in PSf matrix obviously offers immense potential in industrial and automobile applications.
