ESPUR researches a novel procedure for the synthesis of polycarbonate and copoly (carbonate urethane) (CPCU) materials. These polymers are being investigated for in-space additive manufacturing applications. Two epoxy microparticle types using a furan and a maleimide functionalized CPCU coating would be used to generate a recyclable feedstock for 3D printing. A two-stage polycondensation reaction between 2,2 Dimethyl-1,3-propanediol and Dimethyl carbonate with 1,5,6-Triazabicyclo[4.4.0]dec-5-ene as a catalyst was used to synthesize the polycarbonate. The resulting polycarbonate oligomer was then analyzed via nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy to determine the material’s degree of polymerization and molecular weight. The polycarbonate oligomer was used in a synthesis with m-Xylylenediamine to obtain the resulting CPCU material. The CPCU materials were characterized through infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, differential scanning calorimetry, and rheology. Type V dogbone mechanical test articles were cast from the CPCU materials, however no mechanical testing was completed on these materials because they did not display desirable properties. Two syntheses for generating a maleimide-functionalized CPCU and furan-functionalized CPCU were conducted, which will be used in a “Diels-Alder click chemistry” reaction in future research. Throughout the spring internship session, 19 polycarbonate and CPCU syntheses were conducted as well as several side experiments. Through the research of these materials, a broad spectrum of material coating properties was achieved from the same base chemical reactions. Further experimentation revealed improvements to the polymer synthesis process and 1H NMR spectra analysis procedure. These discoveries will allow the future research team to better arrive at a finalized coating.
