高低分子量聚环氧乙烷及其共混物的冷结晶行为研究

通过溶液共混法制备了不同重量比的相对分子质量为10000g/mol(10k)和200000g/mol(200k)的聚环氧乙烷(PEO)的共混物,并利用偏光显微镜(POM)、广角X光衍射(XRD)、原子力显微镜(AFM)研究了PEO及其共混物的冷结晶现象。结果表明,PEO共混物在冷结晶的过程中,偏光显微镜图中同一球晶的内外部分亮度不同,即形成内外双折射明显的球晶,研究发现这种现象并不是因为晶型变化引起的,推断是由于共混物在淬冷后升温至20℃的过程中就开始结晶,低温形成的片晶较薄,在20℃等温结晶时形成的片晶较厚,厚度的差别导致了双折射现象。共混物中分子量为200k的PEO提供了结晶成核点,10kPEO起到了溶剂化作用,有利于晶体的成核与生长,所以共混物中大球晶出现的比例比纯物质高。而且随着共混物中10kPEO含量的增加,升温过程中样品结晶的比例增大,球晶中暗处的半径增大。     

高氯酸锂对PEO结晶结构和结晶行为的影响

利用配备热台的偏光显微镜(POM)、红外光谱仪(FTIR)和示差扫描量热器(DSC)等实验方法研究了高氯酸锂(LiClO4)与聚氧化乙烯(PEO)之间的络合作用对PEO结晶行为和结晶形态的影响.DSC测试结果表明在LiClO4/PEO二元共混体系中,PEO的熔融温度、结晶温度随着锂盐含量的增加出现先增加后降低的现象;而结晶度则是先不变后降低.FTIR结果表明LiClO4影响聚合物结晶性能的原因是Li+能和PEO中的醚基的络合作用.POM观察结果发现LiClO4/PEO共混体系中存在聚合物的球晶,共混体系中聚合物的球晶生长速率都随着结晶温度的升高而下降,并且球晶生长速率还随着体系中随LiClO4含量的增加而减小.     

交联共聚物（ER—PEO）及其与NaSCN络合物的结构研究

环氧树脂(ER)与聚环氧乙烷(PEO)的共混物经水/乙醇萃取后的剩余物为交联ER-PEO非晶共聚物。萃取分析表明,ER/PEO中约有50wt·％的PEO与ER形成ER-PEO交联共聚物。ER/PEO与NaSCN络合后,由于Na~ 的配位络合作用,使结晶能力进一步降低。     

聚左旋乳酸/聚氧化乙烯共混物的拉伸行为及结构转变

采用熔融共混方法制备了聚左旋乳酸(PLLA)和超高分子量聚氧化乙烯(PEO)共混物, 通过差示扫描量热(DSC)、 扫描电子显微镜(SEM)和二维广角X射线散射(2D-WAXS)等方法系统研究了PEO的加入对不同温度下PLLA拉伸行为及拉伸过程中微观结构变化的影响. 结果表明, PLLA/PEO共混物为非均相体系, PEO粒子均匀分布在PLLA中形成两相结构. PEO的加入能够显著降低PLLA的玻璃化转变温度(T_g), 在25～60 ℃范围内显著提高PLLA的拉伸性能. 在60 ℃拉伸时, PEO的加入提高了PLLA在拉伸过程中的结晶和形变能力. 在80 ℃拉伸时, 共混物的拉伸断裂伸长率下降, 但共混物的结晶速度仍高于纯PLLA样品.     

聚苯乙烯嵌段对左旋聚乳酸/聚苯乙烯-b-右旋聚乳酸立构复合晶结晶行为的调控

聚乳酸较差的耐热性和较慢的结晶速率限制了其应用范围的扩展,左旋聚乳酸(PLLA)和右旋聚乳酸(PDLA)共混后形成的立构复合晶(SC)能够促进PLA均质晶(HC)的成核并提高其热稳定性,在改性PLA方面有着巨大应用前景.本研究通过可逆加成-断裂链转移聚合(RAFT)和开环聚合(ROP)法,制备了一系列不同聚苯乙烯(PS)分子量的PS-b-PDLA嵌段共聚物,并将其与PLLA共混,探究了嵌段共聚物及共混物的组成与结晶性能之间的关系.研究结果表明,分子运动性较差的PS嵌段的引入使共混物的结晶更加困难,而低分子量的PS嵌段由于抑制了均质晶(HC)的形成,反而有利于大量立构复合晶(SC)的形成,进而提高了共混物的结晶速率.     

铜离子配位下的聚氧乙烯受限结晶行为研究——缺陷引起的熔点下降

利用铜离子(Cu2+)对聚氧乙烯(PEO)的配位作用所形成的对分子链运动的束缚,研究了链段受限下PEO的结晶和熔融行为.首先利用宽频介电松弛谱(BDS)对受限条件下PEO的松弛行为进行表征,结果表明,加入铜离子后PEO的β-过程和γ-过程的特征松弛时间都变长,说明PEO的链段协同运动和主链扭转运动都变得更加困难;松弛时间为评价受限程度提供了定量的依据.DSC的测试结果表明,受限条件下PEO的玻璃化转变温度(Tg)升高,同时出现冷结晶现象,说明Cu2+配位作用确实对PEO的链段运动产生了束缚作用;同时PEO的结晶度和熔点都随着铜离子含量的提高而降低.WAXD结果表明,CuBr2在共混物中没有发生结晶,同时PEO的晶型没有发生改变.利用AFM进一步研究了PEO/CuBr2共混物薄膜的结晶形貌,发现在不同Cu2+含量的共混物中PEO都形成伸直链晶体,片晶厚度没有变化,说明熔点的降低并非是片晶厚度变化所导致.但是AFM的结果却显示螺位错晶体的数量随着Cu2+含量的提高明显增加.可以认为,在Cu2+配位受限下的PEO体系中,晶体缺陷应是引起熔点下降的主要原因,和金属等其它晶体材料的情况有着类似效应.     

聚环氧乙烷(PE0)与聚双酚A羟基醚(PBHE)共混体系的研究

用偏光显微镜(PLM)、扭辫(TBA)、IR及WAXD对PEO/PBHE共混体系结晶形态进行了研究。结果表明,PEO含量在50％以上的共混体系,几乎完全被PEO球晶充满,非晶态PBHE作为微区分散在大球晶之间或球晶之中。PEO含量为40％和30％的照片上呈现树枝晶。PEO含量为20％以下时照片中不再看到结晶出现,PEO与PBHE形成单一非晶相。PEO/PBHE共混体系的组分之间存在着氢键相互作用,这种作用强于PBHE分子间的氢键作用。共混体系的结晶度及T_g随PBHE组分含量的增加,前者减小后者增加并符合FOX方程揭示的规律。PEO与PBHE具有很好的相容性。     

酚醛树脂的增容作用对聚甲醛/丁腈橡胶共混物的韧性、结晶形态和亚微相态的影响

考察了酚醛树脂(Novolak)的增容作用对聚甲醛(POM)/丁腈橡胶(NBR)共混物的韧性、结晶形态和亚微相态的影响.实验结果表明,POM与NBR不相容,直接共混不能提高POM的韧性;添加Novolak后,当NBR质量分数为40%时共混物发生“脆-韧”转变.POM/NBR共混物中POM球晶尺寸大,易形成应力集中点,导致增韧效果不佳;Novolak可通过与POM的分子链间相互作用,改变POM分子链固有的规程和排列方式,使球晶显著减小.亚微相态显示,POM/NBR呈现“海-岛”结构相态,NBR在基体中分散性很差;添加Novolak可提高NBR在基体中的分散性;当NBR质量分数达到40%时,NBR在基体中呈现带状网络结构.网带结构能够终止受外力作用而在基体中产生的银纹和剪切屈服,增加了共混物的破裂能,从而使共混物的韧性显著提高.     

聚环氧乙烷(PE0)与聚双酚A羟基醚(PBHE)共混体系的研究

Crystallization behavior of disproportionately high and low molecular weight PEO blends

The crystallization behavior of PEOs with molecular weight of 1 Ok and 200k as well as their blends was studied in details. The results show that the lower molecular weight PEO crystallizes with faster crystallization rate as judged from a shorter time for completing the crystallization. On the other hand, the higher molecular weight PEO crystallizes at relatively higher temperature, indicating an early start of crystallization compared with the lower molecular weight one. The blends of these two PEOs with different blend ratios always cocrystallize during the cooling processes. It is confirmed that mixing of the 10k PEO with the 200k one is in favor of the crystallization of the system. This is not only demonstrated by the early start of the crystallization at higher crystallization temperature, and also a faster crystal growth of the blend with respect to the 200k PEO. The crystallization of the blends at higher temperature is caused by an early start of nucleation and an increment of nucleus density. This may originate from the density fluctuation of the blend and a reduction in energy barrier for nucleation. Moreover, it is found that the crystallinity of the 1 Ok PEO rich blends increases with increasing concentration of the 10k PEO. This is caused by the solvent effect of the 10k PEO toward the 200k PEO. On the other hand, the crystallinity of the 30/70 （10k/200k） PEO blend is decreased a little bit. This may be a balanced result of the improved crystallization of the 200k PEO at the expense of the high crystallization ability of the 1 Ok PEO.

Crystallization behavior and toughening mechanism of poly(ethylene oxide) in polyoxymethylene/poly(ethylene oxide) crystalline/crystalline blends

In this study, the unique crystallization behavior of poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) in polyoxymethylene (POM)/PEO crystalline/crystalline blends was examined in detail. This study was the first to report the typical fractionated crystallization of PEO in POM/PEO blends when PEO is fewer than 30 wt.%. The delayed crystallization temperature of PEO was confirmed at about 5°C to 14°C by using differential scanning calorimetry and perturbation–correlation moving‐window 2D correlation IR spectroscopy. Wide‐angle X‐ray diffraction indicates that no new crystal structures or co‐crystals were generated in POM/PEO. The statistical calculations of scanning electron microscopy photos show that the average diameter of PEO particles is 0.227 µm to 1.235 µm and that the number of small particles is as many as 10⁹ magnitudes per cm³. Theory analysis establishes that the delayed crystallization of PEO is a heterogeneous nucleation process and not a homogeneous nucleation process. A significant toughening effect of PEO to POM was also observed. The impact strength of POM/PEO acquires a maximum of 10.5 kJ/m² when PEO content is 5%. The impact strength of the blend increases by 78.0% compared with pure POM. To improve the toughening effect, the best particle size is established between 0.352 and 0.718 µm, with a PEO particle spacing of 0.351 µm to 0.323 µm. The number of corresponding particles was 0.887 × 10⁹ per cm3 to 3.240 × 10⁹ per cm³. A PEO toughening model for POM was proposed to provide a new and effective way to solve the problem of POM toughening. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Fractional crystallization behavior of PCL and PEG in blends

The crystallization behavior of poly(e-caprolactone)/poly(ethylene glycol) (PCL/PEG) blend was investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and polarized microscopy (POM). Individual phase transition peaks in the DSC curves for both PEG and PCL in all the polymer blends with different PCL contents were observed. The crystallization and melting peak temperatures of PEG were at 41 and 65°C, respectively; while the crystallization and melting temperatures of PCL located at 28 and 56°C, respectively. In-situ POM results demonstrated that spherulites crystalline morphology was formed for both PCL and PEG homopolymers. In PEG/PCL blend, however, both the phase separation morphology and spherulitic morphology can be observed. In blends with 30 or 50 wt % PCL, the PCL component formed dispersed phase and crystallized at lower temperature. However, in blends with 70% PCL, the phase inversion behavior occurred. The continuous PCL phase crystallized at 35°C, while the PEG dispersed phase crystallized at a lower temperature. Fractional crystallization behavior of PEG and PCL was controlled by temperature. The spherulites growth rate of PEG was greatly influenced by temperature, instead of the content of PCL component in the PCL/PEG blends.

Novel biodegradable poly(butylene succinate)/poly(ethylene oxide) blend film with compositional and spherulite‐size gradients

Biodegradable poly(butylene succinate) (PBS)/poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) polymer blend film with compositional gradient in the film thickness direction was prepared using a method of interdiffusion across the interface between the PBS and PEO layers at a temperature above the melting points of both the component polymers. The miscibility between PBS and PEO was confirmed by observation of the glass transition temperature by differential scanning calorimetry. The compositional gradient structure of PBS/PEO was characterized by microscopic mapping measurement of Fourier transform infrared spectra and dynamic mechanical thermal analysis. Furthermore, a new method for confirming the crystalline/crystalline compositional gradient structure through observing the crystallization behavior by POM (polarized optical microscopy) was put forward. A continuous gradient of the spherulite size along the film thickness direction was succeessfully generated in the PBS/PEO blend film. The compositional gradient blend was found to have significantly improved physical properties that cannot be realized for pure PBS, pure PEO, and even their homogeneous miscible blend system. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Blends of POSS-PEO(n=4)(8) and high molecular weight poly(ethylene oxide) as solid polymer electrolytes for lithium batteries

Solid polymer electrolyte blends were prepared with POSS-PEO(n=4)8 (3K), poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO(600K)), and LiClO4 at different salt concentrations (O/Li = 8/1, 12/1, and 16/1). POSS-PEO(n=4)8/LiClO4 is amorphous at all O/Li investigated, whereas PEO(600K) is amorphous only for O/Li = 8/1 and semicrystalline for O/Li = 12/1 and 16/1. The tendency of PEO(600K) to crystallize limited the amount of POSS-PEO(n=4)(8) that could be incorporated into the blends, so that the greatest incorporation of POSS-PEO(n=4)(8) occurred for O/Li = 8/1. Blends of POSS-PEO(n=4)(8)/PEO(600K)/LiClO4 (O/Li = 8/1 and 12/1) microphase separated into two amorphous phases, a low T(g) phase of composition 85% POSS-PEO(n=4)(8)/15% PEO(600K) and a high T(g) phase of composition 29% POSS-PEO(n=4)(8)/71% PEO(600K). For O/Li = 16/1, the blends contained crystalline (pure PEO(600K)), and two amorphous phases, one rich in POSS-PEO(n=4)(8) and one rich in PEO(600K). Microphase, rather than macrophase separation was believed to occur as a result of Li(+)/ether oxygen cross-link sites. The conductivity of the blends depended on their composition. As expected, crystallinity decreased the conductivity of the blends. For the amorphous blends, when the low T(g) (80/20) phase was the continuous phase, the conductivity was intermediate between that of pure PEO(600K) and POSS-PEO(n=4)(8). When the high T(g) (70/30, 50/50, 30/70, and 20/80) phase was the continuous phase, the conductivity of the blend and PEO(600K) were identical, and lower than that for the POSS-PEO(n=4)(8) over the whole temperature range (10-90 degrees C). This suggests that the motions of the POSS-PEO(n=4)(8) were slowed down by the dynamics of the long chain PEO(600K) and that the minor, low Tg phase was not interconnected and thus did not contribute to enhanced conductivity. At temperatures above T(m) of PEO(600K), addition of the POSS-PEO(n=4)(8) did not result in conductivity improvement. The highest RT conductivity, 8 x 10(-6) S/cm, was obtained for a 60% POSS-PEO(n=4)(8)/40% PEO(600K)/LiClO4 (O/Li = 12/1) blend.
