This PFI: AIR Technology Translation project focuses on translating polymeric materials research into the creation of higher value, higher performance nylons based on renewable raw materials. The development of these materials is important because bio-based nylons with tunable chemical and mechanical properties are highly desired in the automotive and packaging industries. The project will result in a prototype polyamide material for which the desired properties will be introduced through the use of 3-hexenedioic acid (3HDA), a bio-derived unsaturated diacid monomer. This material has the following unique features: elevated modulus, impact strength, flexibility, increased solvent resistance, and tunable hydrophobicity. These features provide advantages such as a larger window of operation and access to new properties when compared to the leading polyamides in the market place. This project addresses the following technological gaps as it translates from research discovery toward commercial application. The chemistry of 3HDA when embedded in a polymeric structure needs to be further studied in order to identify and implement efficient cross-linking and derivatization techniques. In addition, variables such as 3HDA concentration, nature of the cross-linker or derivatization agent, and polymerization and curing conditions need to be investigated. The impact of these variables on average molecular weight, polydispersity, melting temperature, and mechanical properties needs to be understood to achieve the level of control expected for performance plastics.In addition, personnel involved in this project, including one graduate student and one postdoctoral researcher, will receive innovation and technology translation experiences through developing a functional prototype that meets the needs of potential customers and catalyzes discussions with potential industrial partners.This project is jointly funded by the Division of Industrial Innovation and Partnerships and the Division of Engineering Education and Centers; reflecting the alignment of this project with the respective goals of the two divisions and their programs.

该PFI：空气技术翻译项目的重点是将聚合物材料研究转化为基于可再生原材料的更高价值，高性能尼龙的创建。这些材料的开发很重要，因为具有可调化学和机械性能的生物基尼龙在汽车和包装行业中是高度期望的。该项目将产生一种原型的聚酰胺材料，通过使用3-己二烯酸（3HDA）（一种生物衍生的不饱和二肽单体）引入所需特性。该材料具有以下独特的特征：升高模量，冲击强度，柔韧性，溶剂耐药性增加和可调节疏水性。与市场领先的聚酰胺相比，这些功能提供了更大的操作窗口和访问新物业的优势。该项目解决了以下技术差距，因为它从研究发现转化为商业应用。需要进一步研究3HDA的化学，以识别和实施有效的交联和衍生技术。此外，需要研究诸如3HDA浓度，交联或衍生物剂的性质以及聚合和固化条件之类的变量。这些变量对平均分子量，多分散性，融化温度和机械性能的影响需要了解以达到绩效塑料期望的控制水平。此外，该项目所涉及的人员，包括一名研究生和一名研究生，包括一名研究生，将获得潜在的项目和纽约的潜在项目，以培养潜在的项目，并努力地培养各种项目，并努力地讨论各种项目，并努力地努力努力，并努力地努力竞争，并努力地努力努力，并努力地努力竞争，并努力竞争，纽约由工业创新和合作伙伴关系部以及工程教育和中心部共同资助；反映了该项目与两个部门及其计划的各个目标的一致性。
