Applications and microwave assisted synthesis of poly(ethylene glycol) modified Merrifield resins

Siu, Wing Kwan May, 1979- January 2004 (has links)
A microwave assisted methodology was developed to modify Merrifield resins (1-2% cross-linked containing 1.0-3.5 mmol Cl-/g) with different nominal molecular weights PEG (200-1000). The synthesis was also carried out by conventional heating to assess the differences between the two procedures. The most efficient synthesis was achieved by using microwave and by using PEG with molecular weight 200 and MR 2% crosslinked containing 1.25 mmol Cl -/g. The structural elucidation was carried out using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and elemental analyses. Upon pyrolsis-GC/MS analysis of the PEGylated MR, the PEG showed the tendency to undergo thermal degradation by the loss of a smaller PEG fragments. This observed degradation of PEG was less prominent during microwave assisted synthesis compared to conventional heating, in addition to faster reaction rates and higher yields. As expected, the PEGylated MR showed improved swelling properties in polar solvents. The chemical reactivity of the PEGylated Merrifield resin was confirmed by the esterification with pyruvic acid and by the substitution of hydroxyl group using thionyl chloride. In addition, the PEGylated MR was converted into (1) polymer-supported acid/base or redox indicator by the attachment of a blue organic dye - 2,6-dichloroindophenol (DCIP) through a nucleophilic substitution reaction and (2) beta-cyclodextrin trap, a water insoluble inclusion-complex, by immobilization of beta-cyclodextrin through cross-linking with 1,6-hexamethylene diisocyanate reagent.

No. of bitstreams: 1 Fernandes_FredericoSilvadeFreitas_D.pdf: 739091 bytes, checksum: 727731c2061dd20f60d28b6f01753ccf (MD5) Previous issue date: 2011 / Resumo: Os limpadores químicos de prótese têm sido bastante indicados para o controle do biofilme formado sobre próteses removíveis de pacientes com comprometimento motor. Apesar de estudos prévios terem mostrado que uma única imersão nesses agentes é capaz de reduzir os níveis de Candida albicans do biofilme formado sobre próteses removíveis, pouco se sabe sobre o efeito do uso diário desses limpadores sobre o biofilme residual de Candida. Assim, o objetivo desse estudo foi avaliar a eficácia do uso diário de um limpador químico enzimático sobre o biofilme de C. albicans formado sobre a superfície de materiais para confecção de próteses removíveis; bem como a atividade enzimática das células de Candida desse biofilme após exposições diárias a esse limpador de prótese. Foram confeccionados espécimes de resina de polimetilmetacrilato (PMMA) e resina de poliamida, nos quais foi realizada, inicialmente, a padronização da rugosidade de superfície (0,34 ± 0,02 ?m). Após a formação da película adquirida, os espécimes foram divididos aleatoriamente em 12 grupos (n=9) para formação do biofilme de C. albicans por 72 horas. Após esse período, os espécimes foram tratados por 1, 4 ou 7 dias, sendo realizado um tratamento por dia, com um limpador químico enzimático (Polident 3 Minutes) ou com água destilada (controle negativo). Após os respectivos períodos de tratamento, os microrganismos remanescentes foram removidos da superfície dos espécimes por meio de ondas ultra-sônicas (7W por 30s). Em seguida, as unidades formadoras de colônia (UFC) foram calculadas e a atividade enzimática das células remanescentes foi avaliada. Os dados foram submetidos à ANOVA um fator ou dois fatores, seguido do teste de Tukey-Kramer. O biofilme de Candida albicans formado sobre a resina de poliamida apresentou maiores níveis de Candida e uma maior atividade fosfolipásica que o biofilme formado sobre a resina de PMMA (p<0,001). O limpador químico enzimático reduziu significantemente os níveis de Candida albicans em todos os períodos avaliados (p<0,001), entretanto os níveis desse microrganismo aumentaram com o tempo, sendo observada diferença estatisticamente significante entre os períodos avaliados (p<0,001). As exposições diárias a esse limpador químico aumentaram a virulência das células de Candida, no que diz respeito à atividade fosfolipásica. Nas condições desse estudo, conclui-se que o uso diário do limpador químico enzimático não foi capaz de impedir a proliferação de Candida albicans no biofilme residual, apesar de ter interferido no crescimento desse biofilme. / Abstract: Chemical cleansing with immersion in denture cleansers has been indicated for denture biofilm control in patients with limited motor capacity. Although previous studies have shown that a single immersion in those agents is able to substantially reduce Candida albicans biofilm levels, the effect of the routine use of denture cleansers on the Candida residual biofilm is poorly understood. This study evaluated the efficacy of daily use of an enzymatic denture cleanser on C. albicans biofilm formed on denture base materials; and the enzymatic activities of Candida biofilm cells after daily exposure to this cleanser agent. Polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) and polyamide resins specimens were prepared (n=54), and their surface roughness was standardized (0.34 ±0.02 ?m). Saliva-coated specimens were randomly divided by lottery into 12 groups (n=9) for biofilm assay. C. albicans biofilm was formed for 72 hours, and then specimens were treated for 1, 4 or 7 days, once a day, with an enzymatic cleanser (Polident 3 Minutes), or distilled water (negative control). Remaining adherent microorganisms were removed from the treated specimens by ultrasonic waves at 7 watts for 30 seconds, and then colony-forming units (CFU) were calculated and remaining cells enzymatic activities were determined. Data were analyzed by 1-way or 2-way ANOVA followed by the Tukey-Kramer test. C. albicans biofilm formed on polyamide resin showed significantly higher Candida levels and phospholipase activity (p<0.001) than biofilm formed on PMMA resin. The enzymatic cleanser significantly reduced C. albicans levels in all evaluated periods (p<0.001); however, the number of this microorganism increased with time, showing statistical difference among the treatment periods (p<0.001). The daily exposure to the denture cleanser increased Candida cells virulence, with regard to phospholipase activity. Our study has shown that the enzymatic cleanser daily use did not prevent C. albicans proliferation in residual biofilm; however, this agent reduced this fungus rate of growth. / Doutorado / Protese Dental / Doutor em Clínica Odontológica

Interfacial strength development in thermoplastic resins and fiber-reinforced thermoplastic composites

Howes, Jeremy C. January 1987 (has links)
The objective of this study was to develop tests that could be used to characterize autohesive strength development in amorphous thermoplastic resins and fiber-reinforced thermoplastic prepregs. All tests were performed using polysulfone P1700 thermoplastic resin and AS4/P1700 graphite-polysulfone prepreg. Two test methods were examined to measure autohesion in neat resin samples. These included an interfacial tension test based on the ASTM tensile adhesion test (ASTM D897) and a fracture toughness test using a compact tension (CT) specimen (based on the ASTM toughness test for metals ASTM E399-83). The interfacial tensile test proved to be very difficult to perform and with an unacceptable amount of data scatter. The data obtained using the compact tension test were repeatable and could be correlated with temperature and contact time. Autohesive strength development in fiber-reinforced prepreg samples was measured using a double cantilever beam (DCB) interlaminar fracture toughness test. The fracture mechanisms were determined to be different in the healed DCB specimen than the virgin specimen due to resin flow at the crack plane during the healing tests. The CT test was found suitable for use in determining the autohesive properties and self-diffusion coefficient of neat resin. The DCB test, although not suitable for autohesive testing, indicated that repair of thermoplastic matrix composites is possible; however, the repair will not be as tough as the virgin material. / Master of Science

Reciclagem de PETpc na incorporação da formulação de uma tinta em pó

Rodrigues, Karen da Silva 22 July 2016 (has links)
A crescente utilização de embalagens de PET tem como conseqüência elevada geração de resíduos sólidos. A reciclagem é uma alternativa para a reutilização deste material polimérico. Este trabalho tem como objetivo avaliar a influência da incorporação de 2,5, 5 e 7,5% (m/m) de pó de PETpc em substituição à carga mineral sulfato de bário (BaSO4) em uma tinta em pó base resina poliéster de formulação comercial. Foram utilizados dois processos de obtenção da tinta: no processo 1, a tinta foi processada na extrusora dupla rosca (processo convencional) e no processo 2, primeiramente a resina e o PETpc foram extrusados na extrusora mono rosca e após todos os componentes da tinta foram homogeneizados na extrusora dupla rosca. As tintas foram aplicadas em corpos de prova de aço carbono AISI 1005 de dimensões 70 mm x 120 mm x 0,75 mm submetidos ao pré-tratamento de fosfatização de zinco. O pó de PETpc, o PET flake e as tintas em pó obtidas foram caracterizadas a partir de análise granulométrica, espectroscopia de infravermelho por transformada de Fourier (FTIR), análise termogravimétrica (TGA) e calorimetria exploratória diferencial (DSC). O efeito da incorporação do pó de PETpc nas propriedades mecânicas e de desempenho à corrosão das tintas foi avaliado com ensaios de medida de brilho, aderência, flexibilidade, resistência ao impacto, ângulo de contato, exposição à névoa salina (NS), espectroscopia impedância eletroquímica (EIE) e análises de microscopia eletrônica de varredura por emissão de campo (MEV/FEG). Os resultados evidenciaram que a incorporação do pó de PETpc na tinta em pó não interferiu no comportamento térmico das tintas obtidas com o processo 1, porém reduziu o brilho e visualizou-se trincas na concentração de 2,5% de pó de PETpc. Nas tintas obtidas a partir do processo 2, observou-se alteração no comportamento térmico das tintas verificado nos ensaios de TGA e DSC, bem como alterações no filme de tinta com aumento do brilho e também no ensaio de flexibilidade que com 5% de pó de PETpc apresentou melhor resultado. Nos ensaios de impacto, névoa salina, ângulo de contato e aderência, não houve alteração nos resultados obtidos com os dois processos utilizados. No ensaio de EIE as tintas com adição superior a 2,5% de pó de PETpc não apresentaram corrosão. Desta forma, os resultados indicam que a incorporação de pó de PETpc em uma tinta em pó base resina poliéster pode ter uma utilização promissora, pois melhora as propriedades da tinta e ainda pode ser uma alternativa para a utilização dos resíduos de PETpc. / Submitted by Ana Guimarães Pereira (agpereir@ucs.br) on 2016-11-24T15:47:54Z No. of bitstreams: 1 Dissertacao Karen da Silva Rodrigues.pdf: 234450 bytes, checksum: 270516cdc01e6f28c7e01cf88b148acf (MD5) / Made available in DSpace on 2016-11-24T15:47:54Z (GMT).

Recycling is an alternative For a polymeric material this reuse. This study aims to evaluate the influence of incorporation of 2.5, 5 and 7.5% (m/m) of PETpc powder to replace the mineral filler barium sulfate (BaSO4) in a coating base polyester resin. Two coatings obtain procedures were used: method 1 coating was processed in twin screw extruder (conventional method) and the method 2, first resin and PETpc were extruded in the single extruder thread and after all coatings components were homogenised in twin screw extruder. The coatings were applied on carbon steel AISI 1005 samples of 70 mm x 120 mm x 0.75 mm dimensions with prephosphating treatment were used. The PETpc powder, the PET flake and powder coatings obtained were characterized from thermal analysis, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The effect of incorporating of PETpc powder on mechanical properties and corrosion resistance of the coatings were evaluated by gloss measurement tests, adhesion, flexibility, impact resistance, exposure to salt spray (NS) electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and analysis of scanning electron field emission (SEM/FEG). The results showed that the incorporation of PETpc powder in the powder coatings did not affect the thermal behavior of the coatings obtained by the process 1, but reduced gloss and in the flexibility test visualized cracks in the concentration of 2.5% PETpc powder. In the coatings obtained from the process 2 was observed change in the thermal behavior of the coatings seen in the TGA and DSC testing, as well as changes in the coatings film with increase in the gloss and also in the flexibility test as with 5% PETpc powder showed the better results. Impact tests, salt spray, contact angle and grip there was no change in the results obtained with the two processes used. In test EIS powder coatings adding more than 2.5% PETpc powder showed no corrosion. Thus, the results indicate that the incorporation of PETpc powder on powder coating based polyester resin may be a promising use for improving the properties of the coating and may also be an alternative to the use of waste PETpc.
