This is the case for polypropylene that behaves as a robust and efficient dielectric in capacitors as a result of its high melting temperature and very low dielectric dissipation factor. The current challenge is to increase its low permittivity, in order to improve energy density and, at the same time, to contribute to the reduction of production, thus progressively increasing the miniaturization of devices.</p><p>Low content functionalisation has been found to be an efficient route to rise the polypropylene (PP) permittivity, without compromising the mechanical and thermal stability of the material. Recent work has shown that decreasing chain mobility in the amorphous phase is key to maintaining dielectric loss into the low level of PP. This has been achieved by inserting carbazole or N-alkyl pyrrole groups. The former increases the T_g due to their characteristic π-π stacking interactions and both enable tailored crosslinking, UV and thermally activated respectively.</p><p>The present study analyses the synthesis and thermal and dielectric stabilities of poly-(propylene-<em>co</em>-9-(undec-10-en-1-yl)-9<em>H</em>-fluorene), with fluorene contents up to 3 mol%, as another example of PP grade that has both enhanced T_g and crosslinking potential under UV radiation. Initial results reveal that these materials have a relative permittivity (ɛ_r) up to 3 and dielectric losses under 0.005. As in the case of carbazole, the strong π-π stacking between fluorene units improves the thermal, mechanical and dielectric responses and also, that further improvement in stability would be possible under appropriate post-processing irradiation conditions.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":20916,"journal":{"name":"Reactive & Functional Polymers","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.5,"publicationDate":"2024-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1381514824002347/pdfft?md5=4ebd53de6e578a43d49ddeb9a8186238&pid=1-s2.0-S1381514824002347-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142271870","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Piperazine is a cheap cyclic diamine, which can regulate the skeleton stiffness of epoxy network and control the mechanical properties of epoxy materials. The tensile strength of cured epoxy resin reaches 103 MPa. In addition, the piperazine monomer contains two methyl substituents and an asymmetric aliphatic ring structure, which provides sufficient chain mobility to activate dynamic exchange reactions, and imparts highly dynamic properties to the conventional urea bond, allowing the urea bonds to possess both stability and dynamic properties. Consequently, the synthesized epoxy resin exhibits not only the excellent mechanical performance but also the remarkable self-healing, reprocessable, shape memory and shape reconfiguration capabilities. The epoxy samples with scratches can basically achieve self-healing within 10 min, and the mechanical properties recovery rate of welded splines is as high as 80 %. Furthermore, we also regulated the content of dynamic PA-HUBs and the cross-linking density of the resin network to examine their impact on the dynamic properties and mechanical performance. Further analysis showed that the higher dynamic bond content and lower cross-linking density increase the free volume of dynamic bond exchange and the stress relaxation rate, which further improves the exchange efficiency of dynamic bonds and endows the resin with better self-healing ability. This kind of piperazine-hindered urea bond, which is dynamically adjustable and has both mechanical stability and dynamic properties, introduces a novel approach for solving the balance problem between the mechanical and dynamic performance of thermosets and preparing dynamic polymer materials with excellent performance.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":20916,"journal":{"name":"Reactive & Functional Polymers","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.5,"publicationDate":"2024-09-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142271878","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here, we present a simple yet efficient strategy to create PCL-based thermadapt SMPs that possess a highly tunable structure and properties, as well as exceptional reconfigurability. The family of SMPs, called thermadapt shape memory AB copolymer networks (AB-CPNs), was synthesized by UV-initiated free radical polymerization between PCL diacrylate as crosslinker and 4-hydroxybutyl acrylate (HBA) as comonomer. The thermadapt AB-CPNs allow for significant structural alterations with 0 wt% to 70 wt% HBA while maintaining excellent shape memory and shape reconfigurability effects. The insertion of the polymer segment containing free hydroxyls not only promises tunable material properties but also makes network rearrangement easier since dynamic hydroxy-ester bonds are more active than dynamic ester-ester bonds.
