    10. Effect of End Groups on the Melt Viscosity as a Function of Temperature This is the linear plot of the rheology. The melt viscosity of MHB-PI was much higher than PI with the other end-group. The melt viscosity rapidly degreased and at 70 oC, the melt viscosity was neally close to non-functionalized PI. This data may suppose to the dissociation temperature is 70deg.This is the linear plot of the rheology. The melt viscosity of MHB-PI was much higher than PI with the other end-group.

    16. Waterborne: Stabilization Faculty Members: Rick Davis (Chem E) 540-231-4578 K. Van Cott (Chem E) W. Ducker (Chemistry) Students J.L. Streeter, D.B. Henderson Sponsors ASCEF, NSF Objective: Develop new block copolymer steric stabilizers that will provide better control of colloid stabilization for waterborne adhesives than existing technology. Approach Using biodegradable polyamino acids from E. coli sources as block co-polymer steric stabilizers Current methods for colloid stabilization of particles in waterborne adhesive formulations have several disadvantages Insufficient stabilization leads to poor viscosity control Poor ability to disperse inorganic particles in waterborne adhesive formulations Current methods for colloid stabilization of particles in waterborne adhesive formulations have several disadvantages Insufficient stabilization leads to poor viscosity control Poor ability to disperse inorganic particles in waterborne adhesive formulations

    17. Structure-Rheology Relationships of Waterborne Adhesives Inorganic particle aggregation in water is more pronounced than aggregation of polymer colloids due to stronger attractive dispersion forces. Aggregation leads to the formation of a 3-D network that increases suspension viscosity, shear thinning, and can result in thixotropy.

    19. Steric Stabilization Gives the Lowest Possible Viscosity at the Highest Particle Volume Fraction

    20. Brush Forming Copolymers Make the Best Steric Stabilizers Anchoring requires strong binding of anchor block to substrate Tail block extension due to osmotic pressure requires solubility More efficient than homopolymer - lower concentration required Insensitive to plant or process related fluctuations in electrolyte concentration and pH It has been known for a number of years that brush-forming block copolymers in which the tail blocks are water-soluble and uncharged make the most efficient and effective particle stabilizers. The adsorbed layer thickness ? needs to be thick enough to overcome attractive van der waals forces between any two such coated surfaces, thereby keeping the particles dispersed, thus preventing them from aggregating. Our estimates of the thickness required to overcome the attractive van der waals forces comes from the well known DLVO theory. The brush layer thickness needed lies between 5-20 nm for particles most commonly used in waterborne adhesives.It has been known for a number of years that brush-forming block copolymers in which the tail blocks are water-soluble and uncharged make the most efficient and effective particle stabilizers.

    21. Adsorption Studies Show that Proline-Glutamic Acid Copolymers Should Be Efficient Steric Stabilizers We have shown that the nonionic but water-soluble PRO, when mixed with GLU in water, does not adsorb onto alumina particles whereas the negatively charged GLU adsorbs strongly with positively charged alumina particles at pH < 9. These results show that the PRO-GLU diblock copolymer should form the self-assembled brush layers (as shown in the figure) that will function as efficient steric stabilizers for alumina particles and other particles with related surface chemistries such as zinc oxide.We have shown that the nonionic but water-soluble PRO, when mixed with GLU in water, does not adsorb onto alumina particles whereas the negatively charged GLU adsorbs strongly with positively charged alumina particles at pH < 9.

    22. Biosynthesis of PRO-GLU Diblock and Advantages of Polyamino Acids We are working with Prof. Kevin Van Cott in the Chemical Engineering Department at VA Tech on making the PRO-GLU diblock copolymers using genetically engineered E.Coli bacteria. These polymers are made using well-known fermentation technology. After fermentation, the PRO-GLU diblock copolymer is recovered and purified using well-established techniques. With these engineered bacteria, we can control the structure of the copolymers with high accuracy and have the capability of making a variety of different copolymers that can be tailored to adsorb onto any particle surface.We are working with Prof. Kevin Van Cott in the Chemical Engineering Department at VA Tech on making the PRO-GLU diblock copolymers using genetically engineered E.Coli bacteria.

    23. Expectations of First Generation PRO-GLU Diblock Act similar to surfactants on latex Short tail block No foaming GLU block is soluble We expect that the PRO-GLU diblock currently under development: will be very water-soluble will not foam when solutions are shaken (meaning that the copolymers will not form micelles) should form adsorbed layers on alumina particles that are about 5 nm or more in thickness. This should be thick enough to at least partially stabilize alumina particles in water. One of our collaborators, Prof. Ducker in the Chemistry Department at VA Tech, has developed an atomic force microscope technique to measure the repulsive steric forces created the adsorption of the PRO-GLU diblock onto alumina.We expect that the PRO-GLU diblock currently under development: will be very water-soluble will not foam when solutions are shaken (meaning that the copolymers will not form micelles) should form adsorbed layers on alumina particles that are about 5 nm or more in thickness.
