Herein, the performance of two kinds of polyimide films i.e. 3,3',4,4'-biphenyl dianhydride-p-phenylenediamine (BPDA-PDA) and pyromellitic dianhydride-4,4'-oxydianiline (PMDA-ODA) under vacuum ultraviolet (VUV, 172 nm) irradiation was studied. The failure behavior of the PI films was studied by tensile tests, thermogravimetry (TGA), thermomechanical analysis (TMA), electric breakdown, UV-visible transmittance and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) were used to analyze the molecular structure. The results indicated that the tensile strength of BPDA-PDA PI and PMDA-ODA PI films decreased by 10.4% and 7.4% under VUV irradiation, respectively; the breakdown strength and UV-transmittance also deteriorated. Besides, the surface morphology of the PI films showed a large number of microcracks after VUV irradiation, which we ascribe to the breakage of imide rings (C-N-C) and ether bonds (C-O-C) of the PI films. However, the thermal stability (residual weight) of both PI films remained constant compared to the initial level; this can be explained by the combined effect of bond breaking and cross-linking of the polyimide films.Keywords: Polyimide filmVacuum ultravioletProperty evolutionMolecular structureDisclaimerAs a service to authors and researchers we are providing this version of an accepted manuscript (AM).

In this paper, the influence of PB-g-Styrene-Acrylonitrile (SAN) concentration on the mechanical properties as well as the flow behavior of the ABS resin was studied. The notched impact strength of the ABS resin including 30 wt% PB-g-SAN was 18.7 kJ/m2, more than five times as high as that of neat SAN resin (3.8 kJ/m2). Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) examination confirmed that the primary reason of the improved toughness of the ABS resin was the shear yielding effect of the matrix. Additionally, a melt flow indexer, rotating rheometer, torque rheometer and dynamic mechanical analyzer (DMA) were utilized to analyze the influence of PB-g-SAN concentration on the ABS resin flow behavior. The results showed that the melt flow rate (MFR) of the ABS resin decreased linearly and the complex viscosity (η*) as well as the tensile plateau modulus (E’) values increased significantly with the growing concentration of PB-g-SAN. This indicated that the flow behavior of the ABS resin was negatively affected when excess PB-g-SAN concentration was added. The entanglement effect between the SAN copolymer on the PB particles surface and the matrix SAN molecular chains, as well as the PB particle volume effect, were suggested to be the main reasons of the negative effect. This research, we suggest, will provide profound scientific guidance for regulating the mechanical and processing characteristics of the ABS resin.Keywords: Polybutadiene-g-(Styrene-Acrylonitrile)Acrylonitrile-Butadiene-Styrene resinToughnessEntanglementFlow behaviorDisclaimerAs a service to authors and researchers we are providing this version of an accepted manuscript (AM).

However, due to the abundant hydroxyl groups on their surface, they are highly polar and have poor compatibility with polymers, making it difficult for them to disperse uniformly in polymers, thus limiting their application in rubber composites to a certain extent. In this paper, noncovalently modified HNTs filled with a natural rubber/chloroprene rubber/chloro-isobutylene-isoprene rubber (NR/CR/CIIR) blend system, using polydopamine（PDA） as a surface modifier, was investigated. and a green and high-performance PDA/HNTs/NR/CR/CIIR composite was prepared by mechanical blending. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) showed that the original HNTs had a hollow, multi-walled nanotube structure, and the outer surface of the PDA-modified halloysite nanotubes（PDA/HNTs）showed an obvious cladding layer. X-ray diffraction indicated that the modification experiments did not damage the halloysite crystal structure; the modifier only interacted on the outer surface of the HNTs. Zeta potential and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) further indicated the presence of interfacial interactions between PDA and HNTs, suggesting that PDA was successfully grafted to the surface of HNTs. In addition, the effects of PDA/HNTs on the mechanical properties, vulcanization properties and Rubber Process Analyzer (RPA analysis) of the NR/CR/CIIR blend were also investigated. The dispersion of HNTs in the NR/CR/CIIR blend was enhanced by the adsorption of PDA on the HNTs surface by non-covalent bonds, and the comprehensive properties of the composites were improved.Keywords: halloysite nanotubesdopaminecomposite materialsDisclaimerAs a service to authors and researchers we are providing this version of an accepted manuscript (AM).

The CoFs (coefficients of friction) of these coatings were lower than those of the copper alloy proposed to be replaced under dry sliding wear and water lubrication. The lowest CoF of 0.237 was achieved with 7.35 wt% WS2, and the highest CoF of 0.251 was observed for 4 wt% ZnO. However, the coating with 7.35 wt% WS2 had the lowest hardness and poorest load-bearing capacity under water lubrication. The coating with 4wt % ZnO had the best load-bearing capacity and the lowest wear rate. The agglomeration of the coating on the substrate was influenced by the content of ZnO. The CoF of the coating was influenced by both the transfer film formed by WS2 and the amount of ZnO floating on the surface of the coating. The embedding of sand into the coating surface during friction increased the surface roughness, which led to an increase in the CoF.Keywords: —Polymer coatingDry sliding wearWater lubricationSediment wearCoefficients of frictionDisclaimerAs a service to authors and researchers we are providing this version of an accepted manuscript (AM).

The optical analysis exposed that the direct and indirect band gap of the host blend decreased from 5.20 and 4.94 to 4.36 and 4.29 eV for 10 wt% of ZCO PNCs. The Urbach energy rose from 0.62 to 1.28 eV for 10 wt% of ZCO PNCs. The refractive index grew from 1.29 (bare blend) to 1.82 for 10 wt% of ZCO PNC at hν = 2.0 eV.
