Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) were used to investigate the thermal behavior of glycidyl azide polymer (GAP) and GAP-based binders, which are of potential interest for the development of high-performance energetic propellants. The glass transition temperature (T-g) and decomposition temperature (T-d) of pure GAP were found to be -45 and 242 degrees C, respectively. The energy released during decomposition (Delta H-d) was measured as 485 cal/g. The effect of the heating rate on these properties was also investigated. Then, to decrease its T-g, GAP was mixed with the plasticizers dioctiladipate (DOA) and bis-2,2-dinitropropyl acetal formal (BDNPA/F). The thermal characterization results showed that BDNPA/F is a suitable plasticiser for GAP-based propellants. Later, GAP was crosslinked by using the curing agent triisocyanate N-100 and a curing catalyst dibuthyltin dilaurate (DBTDL). The thermal characterization showed that crosslinking increases the T-g and decreases the T-d of GAP. The T-g of cured GAP was decreased to sufficiently low temperatures (-45 degrees C) by using BDNPA/F. The decomposition reaction-rate constants were calculated. It can be concluded that the binder developed by using GAP/N-100/BDNPA/F/DBTDL may meet the requirements of the properties that makes it useful for future propellant formulations.

Thermal and dynamic mechanical properties of microwave and heat-cured poly(methyl methacrylate) used as dental base material Muhtarogullari, IY; Dogan, A; Muhtarogullari, M; Usanmaz, Ali (Wiley, 1999-12-13) In this study, the particle size distribution, molecular weight, thermal analysis (TGA) differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermogravimetric analysis, and dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) of poly(methyl methacrylate) used as dental base material were investigated. The commercial raw material used were prepared for microwave curing, and they were cured by microwave and conventional heat methods. The average particle size of the powder studied (103.1 mu m) were much larger than that of the commercia...
Thermal stability and decomposition mechanism of poly(p-acryloyloxybenzoic acid and poly(p-methacryloyloxybenzoic acid) and their graft copolymers with polypropylene, Part II Cetin, S.; Tincer, T. (Wiley, 2008-04-05) Thermal stability and decomposition mechanism of poly(p-acryloyloxybenzoic) acid (PABA), p-methacryloyloxybenzoic acid (PMBA), and their graft coproducts of PP were studied by differential scanning calorimetry, direct pyrolysis mass spectrometry, and TG/IR system, combined thermogravimetric analyzer, and FTIR spectrometer. The homopolymers and corresponding grafts were found to be stable in nitrogen atmosphere but started to decompose under atmospheric conditions when heated above 230 degrees C. PABA and PA...
Simultaneous novel synthesis of conducting, nonconducting, and crosslinked polymers by microwave initiation Çelik, Güler (Wiley, 2006-12-15) A novel synthesis of poly(dibromophenylene oxide) (P), conducting polymer (CP), and/or crosslinked polymer (CLP), and/or radical ion polymers (RIP) was achieved simultaneously from sodium 2,4,6-tribromophenolate by microwave energy in a very short-time interval. The synthesized polymers were characterized via elemental analysis, FTIR, H-1 NMR and C-13 NMR, X-ray diffraction spectroscopy, SEM, DSC, TGA, ESR, GPC, conductivity measurement, and light scattering. It was found that polymerization proceeds throug...
Physical Characterization of Inclusion Complexes of Triphenyl Phosphate and Cyclodextrins in Solution. Zhang, N; Zane, CP; Chen, Y; Yıldırım, Erol; Hinks, D; Tonelli, AE; Vinueza, NR; Pasquinelli, MA (American Chemical Society (ACS), 2020-01-16) The goal of this work is to provide physical insights into the formation and stability of inclusion complexes (ICs) in aqueous solution between cyclodextrins (CDs) and a common flame retardant, triphenyl phosphate (TPP). Quantum chemistry calculations reveal the possible energetically favorable geometries of TPP in their 1:1 IC form with α-, β-, and γ-CDs as well as their associated complexation, conformational, and interaction energies. High-resolution mass spectrometry (MS) and tandem MS were used with el...
Indium tin oxide nanoparticles as anode for light-emitting diodes Çırpan, Ali (Wiley, 2006-02-15) Thin films of indium tin oxide (ITO) nanoparticles have been investigated as anode materials for polymer light-emitting diodes. A luminance efficiency (0.13 cd/ A), higher than that (0.09 cd/A) obtained in a control devices fabricated on conventional commercial ITO anodes were found. The thin films were made by spin coating of a suspension followed by annealing. The ITO nartoparticle films have a stable sheet resistance of 200 ohm/sq, and an optical transmittance greater than 86% over the range of 400-1000 ...
