Abstract
Poly(N-vinyl pyrrolidone) (PVPy) chains were grafted onto the surfaces of barium titanate (BaTiO3) nanoparticles via the surface-initiated living/controlled radical polymerization of N-vinyl pyrrolidone. The PVPy-grafted BaTiO3 nanoparticles were then incorporated into a crosslinked polyhydroxyurethane (PHU) which was derived from bis(six-membered) cyclic carbonate and a triamine (i.e., Jeffamine T400). It was found that BaTiO3 nanoparticles were uniformly dispersed into the PHU matrix. The generation of nanocomposites resulted that the glass transition temperatures (Tg’s) and mechanical properties were significantly enhanced. In the meantime, the nanocomposites had the dielectric properties superior to control PHU; the shape memory properties of the materials were significantly improved in terms of response, fixity of transient shape and recovery of the original shapes. Thanks to transcarbamoylation of hydroxyurethane structural units, the crosslinked nanocomposites can be reprocessed at elevated temperature. It was found that dibutyltin dilaurate (DBTDL) was an effective catalyst to decrease the Arrhenius activation energy of the dynamic reaction; the reprocessing of the nanocomposites can be carried out at the temperature as low as 120 °C.
期刊介绍:
Reactive & Functional Polymers provides a forum to disseminate original ideas, concepts and developments in the science and technology of polymers with functional groups, which impart specific chemical reactivity or physical, chemical, structural, biological, and pharmacological functionality. The scope covers organic polymers, acting for instance as reagents, catalysts, templates, ion-exchangers, selective sorbents, chelating or antimicrobial agents, drug carriers, sensors, membranes, and hydrogels. This also includes reactive cross-linkable prepolymers and high-performance thermosetting polymers, natural or degradable polymers, conducting polymers, and porous polymers.
Original research articles must contain thorough molecular and material characterization data on synthesis of the above polymers in combination with their applications. Applications include but are not limited to catalysis, water or effluent treatment, separations and recovery, electronics and information storage, energy conversion, encapsulation, or adhesion.
