[Research on the modification of Kevlar fiber by polypropylene glycol and cis-2-butene-1,4-diol].

The mechanism of the modification of Kevlar fiber by polypropylene glycol(PPG) and cis-2-butene-1, 4-diol was studied in the paper, the authors learned the esterification of toluene-2, 4-diisocyanate (TDI) onto Kevlar fiber by infrared spectrum. In the mean time, the infrared spectrograms of the productions which steadily disposed by PPG and butendiol were analysed respectively, the result showed that the intensity of the bands was reinforced at about 1700-1720 cm(-1) after the samples were steadily disposed, that is to say, the group of --NCO has been stabilized into --NHCO group, the effect of steady disposal was obvious; but the disposal effect of butendiol was apparently better than PPG's at the same condition. Finally, the authors compared the influence of different mol rates between TDI and butendiol on the productions. Based onthe consequence, excessive butendiol would prevent the Kevlar fiber from farther reaction, therefore, the mol rate between TDI and butendiol should approach 1:1.

[Preparation and properties of organobentonites].

The chemistry organobentonites were synthesized by means of the ionexchange reaction between single-octadecyl trimethyl ammonium chloride(SOAC), di-octadecyl dimethyl ammonium chloride (DOAC) , tri-octadecyl methylammonium chloride (TOAC) quaternary ammonium salts and sodium base bentonies, respectively. The authors used FTIR, X-ray diffraction diagram and DSC thermograms to characterate the structure of the modified bentonites, and discussed the effect of different quaternary ammonium salt on the properties of organobentonites. The results showed that ion of the surfactants had entered into the chip layer of the bentonites, and changed the hydrophilic environment of the chip layer into hydrophobic environment and increased the distance among the chip layer, all of these had laid a base for the preparation of the nanometer composite material of high polymer/bentonite.

[Surface grafting modification and stabilization of Kevlar fiber].

Chemical disposal was used to bring the activity group onto the surface of Kevlar fiber for the purpose of surface grafting modification. The interfacial constitution of the grafting of toluene-2,4-diisocyanate (TDI) onto Kevlar fiber was determined by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. In the mean time, hexyl-lactam stabilization and poly-glycol (400, PEG) stabilization on the grafted product were also studied. The effects of different nTDI:nPEG ratios on the production's interfacial constitution was analysed. It is concluded that the stabilization took place on the surface. The intensity of the bands relented at about 3300 cm(-1) and was reinforced at about 1700-1720 cm(-1) when the ratio of nTDI:nPEG = 1:3, but when the ratio is 1:1 and 1:2, the bands at about 3 300 and 1700-1720 cm(-1) are almost the same.

[The research on the surfacial modification of organic high-performance Kevlar fiber].

In the paper the authors tried to use chemical disposal to bring the activity mass onto the surface of Kevlar fiber with the purpose of surface graft modification. In the paper the authors used the FTIR spectra to discuss the graft of toluene-2, 4-diisocyanate onto Kevlar fiber. The authors studied and analysed the effect of hydrolytic time on the content of -O-H group of the production, and the effect of hydrolyzation and hexyl-lactam steadily disposing on the graft reaction. The result showed that the content of -O-H group increased after hydrolyzation, it's helpful for the graft reaction, and hexyl-lactam steadily disposing made the graf product more stable. Through the research the authors came to the conclusion that by bringing some activity masses onto the fiber surface the authors can improve the interface of fiber/resin effectively.
