Abstract
In this research, diglycidyl ethers of bisphenol-A (BADGE) and polyethylene glycol (PEGDGE) were binarily cured with a mixture of diamine curing agents including isophorone diamine and polyethylene glycol diamine (PEGDA) in the absence/presence of aminated graphene oxide nanoplatelets (AGNPs, 0.5 wt.%). Four molar ratios of diglycidyl ethers and curing agents were used stoichiometrically in isothermal curing systems. The films prepared from the epoxy networks were entirely strong and pliable. All epoxy thermosets were evaluated using field emission-scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), and diffuse reflectance-ultraviolet/visible spectroscopy (DR-UV/vis). The absorption coefficients of the epoxy and AGNPs-loaded epoxy materials decreased with increasing the molar ratio of PEGDGE resin and polyethylene glycol diamine curing agent. According to dynamic mechanical analysis no phase heterogeneity occurred in the structure of the prepared thermostats. When the thermoset materials were loaded by AGNPs filler, the peaks associated with alpha relaxations shifted to higher temperatures. Moreover, thermogravimetric analysis demonstrated that the thermal stability of the prepared epoxy thermosets slightly increased after the addition of the nanoplatelets. In addition, the thermal resistance of the prepared thermosets decreased to some extent by increasing the participation rate of monomers containing polyoxyethylene. Graphical Abstract
期刊介绍:
Health Services Management Research (HSMR) is an authoritative international peer-reviewed journal which publishes theoretically and empirically rigorous research on questions of enduring interest to health-care organizations and systems throughout the world. Examining the real issues confronting health services management, it provides an independent view and cutting edge evidence-based research to guide policy-making and management decision-making. HSMR aims to be a forum serving an international community of academics and researchers on the one hand and healthcare managers, executives, policymakers and clinicians and all health professionals on the other. HSMR wants to make a substantial contribution to both research and managerial practice, with particular emphasis placed on publishing studies which offer actionable findings and on promoting knowledge mobilisation toward theoretical advances. All papers are expected to be of interest and relevance to an international audience. HSMR aims at enhance communication between academics and practitioners concerned with developing, implementing, and analysing health management issues, reforms and innovations primarily in European health systems and in all countries with developed health systems. Papers can report research undertaken in a single country, but they need to locate and explain their findings in an international context, and in international literature.
