摘要:
A novel poly(ester-ether-imide) (PEEI) based on N,N-bis(2-hydroxyethyl)-pyromellitimide unit was synthesized via a conventional two-stage procedure with 1,4-butanediol (BD), dimethyl terephthalate (DMT) and poly(tetramethylene glycol) (PTMG1000). The structures of imide dihydric alcohol and PEEI were confirmed by FT-IR and H-1-NMR spectra, respectively. The thermal properties and mechanical properties were investigated. The results show PEEI possesses good mechanical properties and excellent thermal stability with the 5% weight loss temperature of the PEEI at 367.3 degrees C, and melting temperature of hard segments (T-mh) at 209.7 degrees C. In addition, the kinetic parameters of thermal degradation of the PEEI were studied by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) at different heating rates. The activation energy of the solid-state process was determined to be 174.83 and 175.83 kJ/mol using Kissinger and FlynnWallOzawa methods, respectively. The degradation mechanism model of PEEI was determined bythe Coats-Redfern method. Compared with the values obtained from the Kissinger and FlynnWallOzawa methods, the actual reaction mechanism of the novel PEEI is a F-1 type (Random nucleation with one nucleus on the individual particle nucleation) and growth model with integral g(a)=ln(1a)).
