Abstract
In this study, a phosphorus-containing monofunctional silicone (PMS) was synthesized through an epoxy ring-opening reaction between 1,3-bis(3-glycidoxypropyl)-1,1,3,3-tetramethyldisiloxane (MgoMgo) and (diphenylphosphino) benzoic acid (DPPBA). Subsequently, phosphino-modified MQ silicone resins (PSR) with tailored functionalization characteristics were synthesized utilizing the PMS, followed by systematic evaluation of their effect of shelf stability in liquid silicone rubber (LSR) curing systems. The influence of (1) phosphorus (P): platinum (Pt) ratio, (2) functionalization duration, and (3) M/Q ratio of PSR on platinum catalyst activity, along with the underlying mechanisms, were systematically investigated through Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy-energy dispersive spectroscopy (SEM-EDS), and electron probe microanalysis (EPMA). Experimental analyses demonstrate that adjustment of the previous three key parameters exerts precise control over the inhibitory properties within PSR, resulting in a highly tunable latency of the Pt catalysts. Thermogravimetric (TG) analysis revealed that the incorporation of PSR increased the residual rate of LSR by 18.99 % at 800 °C. TG-FTIR investigations further demonstrate that the PSR significantly promotes the organic-to-inorganic conversion of LSR. Characterization of the thermal stability of the Pt catalyst and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) of the LSR residues at 800 °C revealed that the PSR effectively stabilizes atomically dispersed Pt. This stabilization decelerates platinum aggregation at elevated temperatures through strong ligand bonding, thereby enhancing the catalytic efficiency of Pt at 800 °C.
期刊介绍:
Polymer Degradation and Stability deals with the degradation reactions and their control which are a major preoccupation of practitioners of the many and diverse aspects of modern polymer technology.
Deteriorative reactions occur during processing, when polymers are subjected to heat, oxygen and mechanical stress, and during the useful life of the materials when oxygen and sunlight are the most important degradative agencies. In more specialised applications, degradation may be induced by high energy radiation, ozone, atmospheric pollutants, mechanical stress, biological action, hydrolysis and many other influences. The mechanisms of these reactions and stabilisation processes must be understood if the technology and application of polymers are to continue to advance. The reporting of investigations of this kind is therefore a major function of this journal.
However there are also new developments in polymer technology in which degradation processes find positive applications. For example, photodegradable plastics are now available, the recycling of polymeric products will become increasingly important, degradation and combustion studies are involved in the definition of the fire hazards which are associated with polymeric materials and the microelectronics industry is vitally dependent upon polymer degradation in the manufacture of its circuitry. Polymer properties may also be improved by processes like curing and grafting, the chemistry of which can be closely related to that which causes physical deterioration in other circumstances.
