Abstract

The studies segmented polyester polyurethaneurea (PUU) elastomers based on 4,4'-diphenylmethane diisocyanate (MDI), ethylene diamine (ED) and polybutylene adipate(PBA) (M.W.1,975 and M.W.1,228) were studied by means of IR spectrascopy. The major IR bands of PUU were first assigned and the views were proposed for the bands at 1,600, 1,317, 1,520 and 1,230 cm-1 assigned by other authors. The reliable theoretical basis for the assignments of IR bands and the studies of hydrogen bonding in these elastomers has been proposed by use of deuteration and varying temperature. The results indicated that substantial hydrogen bonding mainly occurred in the aggregate region of hard segments, a small amount of hydrogen bonding can be formed at the interface between the soft and hard segments. It can be concluded from this work that the studied PUU materials were phase segregation.

Liquid crystalline elastomers: dynamics and relaxation of microstructure.

The equilibrium mechanical response of nematic elastomers can be soft or hard depending on the relation between the imposed strains and the nematic director, in particular, if the local nematic director is able to respond by rotating. The dynamical response proves to be equally unusual. We examine the linear dynamic mechanical response of monodomain nematic elastomers under shear and the aspects of time-temperature superposition of the dynamical data across phase-transition regions. In the low-frequency region of the master curves, one finds a dramatic reduction of rubber plateau modulus and the rise in internal dissipation: in the shear geometries compatible with dynamic soft elasticity. Power-law variation of the storage modulus with frequency G' proportional, variant omega(a) agrees very well with the results of static stress relaxation, where each relaxation curve obeys the analogous power law G' proportional, variant t(-a) in the corresponding region of long times and temperatures.

Effects of ligation type and method on the resistance to sliding of novel orthodontic brackets with second-order angulation in the dry and wet states.

Rectangular stainless steel (SS) archwires were coupled with four SS bracket designs: Mini Diamond Twin, which was a conventional twin bracket; VersaT, which had bumps along the slot floor and rounded slot walls; Shoulder, which had bosses outside the tie-wings to lift the ligation off the archwire; and Synergy, which had bosses between the outer and inner tie-wings, bumps along the slot floor, and rounded slot walls. For all designs, the values of resistance to sliding (RS) were measured at five normal forces and 32 second-order angulations in the dry and wet (saliva) states. RS values at these same angles and states were also measured for the following: Mini Diamond Twin brackets ligated with rings and SS ligature wires; VersaT brackets ligated with rings; Shoulder brackets ligated with rings in a figure-8 and a figure-O around the tie-wings; and Synergy brackets ligated with rings around the outer tie-wings and around the inner tie-wings. In both states, the coefficients of friction were similar for the Mini Diamond Twin, VersaT, and Synergy brackets; the values for the Shoulder brackets were slightly greater than for the other three designs. In the passive configuration, the features of the Shoulder and Synergy brackets reduced RS when the rings were not in contact with the archwires. In the active configuration, the binding behavioral patterns of the brackets were not influenced by ligation methods. Thus, these different ligation types and methods only affected the classical frictional component of RS in the passive configuration.
