Micro and macro analysis of physicochemical properties of bio-based semi-aromatic high temperature polyamide PA5T/56

In this paper, bio-based semi-aromatic high-temperature polyamide PA5T/56 was synthesized from bio-based monomer glutamine. The micro and macro physicochemical properties of PA5T/56 were studied by Materials Studio software, Universal Testing Machine and Impact Testing Machine and other software and instruments, and the effect of PA5T content on its properties was explored. The results showed that the Poisson’s ratio and modulus of PA56 molecule were the largest, PA5T molecule was the smallest, and PA56T molecule was between the two, indicated that the addition of PA5T molecule enhances the overall mechanical properties; With the increase in PA5T content, the tensile strength and bending strength of PA5T/56 increases, while the elongation at break and impact strength decreases, the density of PA5T/56 increases first and then decreases, and the oil absorption rate and water absorption rate of PA5T/56 decrease gradually; Moreover, PA5T/56 has excellent solvent resistance, it is insoluble in conventional organic solvents and only soluble in concentrated sulfuric acid and trifluoroacetic acid; With the extension of soaking time, the tensile strength and bending strength of PA5T/56 decrease, while the impact strength of PA5T/56 increases first and then decreases.
