| Abstract | The aramid fiber made from poly(p-phenyleneterephthalamide) PPTA has high strength and high modulus due to a perfect orientation of rigid macromolecular chains. Many attempts to improve the mechanical performance of the aramid fiber were proposed during the last decade; however, simultaneously improving the strength and modulus of the aramid fiber is still a great challenge as most methods can only improve the modulus at the expense of reducing the tensile strength. The mechanism of broken aramid fibers indicates that the weak point of the aramid fiber is at amorphous phase. Therefore, if the amorphous phase can be enhanced, the mechanical performance of PPTA fibers would be improved. Here a novel method is reported to enhance the amorphous phase of PPTA fibers by treating the aramid fiber in supercritical carbon dioxide (ScCO2) with or without hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI). In this new process, the ScCO2, with or without the crosslinker HDI in ScCO2, is diffused into the amorphous phase of PPTA fibers and the amorphous phase is enhanced by re-arrangement of molecular segments or HDI reacting with the groups (–NH2, –COOH, and –NHCO–) of PPTA fibers. This is done without breaking the crystalline structure and orientation by carefully controlling the reaction temperature, pressure and time. The results showed that the tensile strength and modulus had simultaneously increased. Molecular weight could be increased under appropriate treatment, while the crystalline structures of PPTA fibers were almost unchanged. Dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) and thermomechanical analysis (TMA) showed that the glass-transition temperature had increased. All the results implied the chain crosslinking mainly took place in the amorphous phase of the PPTA fibers and the performance improvement was attributed to the amorphous enhancement. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
