Interfacial shear strength of flax fibers in thermoset resins evaluated via tensile tests of UD composites
2012
Abstract A method of interfacial shear strength evaluation, based on the length distribution of fibers pulled out from the tensile fracture surface of an oriented flax-reinforced composite, is applied to composites with vinyl ester and acrylated epoxidized soy oil resin matrices. Two approaches for characterizing the strength of fibers with modified Weibull distribution, fiber fragmentation tests and fiber tension tests, are compared in the analysis of pull-out data. Interfacial shear strength is found to increase by a few percent when loading rate is increased from 1.33% to 8%/min.
CuO nanoparticle filled vinyl-ester resin nanocomposites: Fabrication, characterization and property analysis
2007
Abstract Both unmodified cupric oxide (CuO) nanoparticles and those functionalized with a bi-functional coupling agent methacryloxypropyl-trimethoxysilane (MPS) were used to fabricate vinyl-ester resin polymeric nanocomposites. The nanoparticle functionalization was observed to have a significant effect on the physical properties of the cupric oxide filled vinyl-ester resin nanocomposite. Thermal degradation study by thermo-gravimetric analysis (TGA) showed the increased thermo-stability in the functionalized-nanoparticle-filled vinyl-ester resin nanocomposites as compared with the unmodified-nanoparticle-filled counterparts. The more uniform particle dispersion and the chemical bond betwee…
Particle surface engineering effect on the mechanical, optical and photoluminescent properties of ZnO/vinyl-ester resin nanocomposites
2007
Zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles functionalized with a bi-functional coupling agent methacryloxypropyl-trimethoxysilane (MPS) were used to fabricate a vinyl-ester resin polymeric nanocomposite, which shows an improved interfacial interaction between the particle and matrix. As a result, in comparison to the unmodified particle-filled nanocomposites, the functionalized particle-filled composites possessed higher resistance to thermal degradation, and demonstrated improved UV shielding and enhanced photoluminescent properties. The more uniform particle dispersion, passivation of the particle surface with MPS and increased oxygen vacancies were justified to contribute to the increased thermal st…
Analyse von Copolymeren aus Vinylestern und Acrylestern
1978
Die Copolymeren aus Vinyl- und Acrylestern werden in abgeschmolzenen Ampullen durch 2 M NaOH verseift. Die aus den Vinylester-Grundbausteinen gebildeten Sauren werden durch potentiometrische Titration bestimmt; liegen verschiedene Vinylester nebeneinander vor, so wird das Mengenverhaltnis der Sauren gaschromatographisch ermittelt. Die bei der Verseifung aus den Acrylester-Grundbausteinen entstehenden Alkohole werden gaschromatographisch identifiziert und gegen tert-Butanol als internen Standard quantitativ bestimmt. Ein besonderer Vorteil der Methode besteht darin, das auch wasrige Dispersionen ohne vorherige Abtrennung des Copolymeren eingesetzt werden konnen. The copolymers from vinyl est…
Synthesis and Molecular Modeling Studies of Derivatives of a Highly Potent Peptidomimetic Vinyl Ester as Falcipain-2 Inhibitors
2012
Herein we report the synthesis of a set of constrained peptidomimetics endowed with an electrophilic vinyl ester warhead and structurally related to a previously identified lead compound, a potent and irreversible inhibitor of falcipain-2 (FP-2). FP-2 is the main hemoglobinase of the malaria parasite P. falciparum. The new compounds were evaluated for their inhibition against FP-2, and the results were rationalized on the basis of docking experiments. These studies underscore the pivotal role of both the ester function at the P1' site and the trifluoromethyl group of the P3 side chain in determining the correct orientation of the Michael acceptor warhead in the catalytic site, and as a cons…
