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。     

PEO／PBHE共混体系X射线散射研究

在聚环氧乙烷(PEO)/聚双酚A羟基醚(PBHE)共混体系中PEO是一个强质子受体,而PBHE是一个强质子给体,两者极易形成氢键,十分有利于形成互容对。笔者研究了PEO/PBHE共混体系的相容性,等温及非等温结晶动力学,本文根据Vonk提出的一维电子密度相关函数,分析了PEO/PBHE的SAXS现象,求得了共混体系的结晶度,片晶层厚度,过渡层厚度及长周期等结构参数。     

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.     

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。

聚L-乳酸/聚(天冬氨酸-co-乳酸)共混物的制备及其相容性研究

采用氯仿/乙醇共沸溶液浇铸法制备了混合均匀的聚L-乳酸/聚(天冬氨酸-co-乳酸)共混物(PLLA/PAL)体系.研究了PLLA/PAL共混体系的热性能、结晶行为、形态结构和力学性能,评价了PLLA和PAL之间的相容性.结果表明,PAL对PLLA的结晶行为和热性能产生了较大的影响,共混物的结晶度较低,共混体系中部分PAL会进入PLLA球晶的片晶而导致PLLA球晶结构不完善,熔点降低.PAL的含量小于20%的PLLA/PAL共混物的拉伸强度和断裂延伸率均高于纯PLLA.PLLA和PAL分子链相互缠结,产生的氢键使分子链间存在较强的相互作用,具有较好的相容性.     

聚氧乙烯／聚酚氧共混体系的结晶行为及相容性研究

对聚氧化乙烯/聚酚氧(PEO/PH)共混体系的研究表明,随共混体系中非晶组份PH含量的增加,Avrami指数n值由2.0～2.3变为1.5～2.0,体系的结晶由盘状生长转化为纤维状生长;成核方式由方式Ⅰ转化为方式Ⅱ.PEO/PH共混体系的平衡熔点随PH含量的增加而降低,相互作用能量密度B=-1.46cal/mol,说明体系是互容的。     

PEO分子量对POM/PEO晶/晶共混物溶液结晶的影响

以六氟异丙醇(HFIP)为聚甲醛(POM)与聚氧化乙烯(PEO)的共溶剂,通过溶液结晶研究了PEO分子量对POM/PEO 50/50晶/晶共混物结晶行为及结晶形态的影响。结果表明,PEO分子量越小,POM与PEO在结晶过程中相互干扰越大。当PEO分子量为4×103时,共混物中POM形成部分不完善晶体,出现明显的熔融双峰。SEM结果表明:含不同分子量PEO的共混晶体均无明显相分离,且低分子量PEO的共混物更易形成规整球晶,认为通过溶液结晶,POM/PEO 50/50共混物中POM与PEO形成了晶体相互穿插的结晶结构。     

聚氧化乙烯(PEO)/聚双酚A羟基醚(PBHE)共混体系的非等温结晶动力学

本文联系Avrami方程和Ozawa方程,得出一个适合于非等温结晶动力学过程的新的基本方程,由这个方程可获得描述非等温结晶动力学过程的某些参数,并用DSC方法,对PEO/PBHE共混体系的非等温结晶动力学进行了研究,对实验结果进行了讨论.     

聚(ε-己内酯)/苯乙烯-丙烯腈共聚物共混物的形态研究

本文研究了聚(ε-己内酯)(PCI/苯乙烯-丙烯腈共聚物(SAN)共混物的形态。采用差示扫描量热计(DSC)测量了PCL/SAN共混物中的PCL结晶度随着SAN含量的增加而下降;当SAN浓度达到60wt％。以上时,PCI的结晶度趋于零。通过偏光显微镜可以观察到在含高浓度PCI的共混物中,PCL是以球晶形式存在的。样品是由PCL球晶充满的,但是随着SAN含量的增加,PCL球晶半径减小,球晶结构逐渐变得不规整,而X-射线衍射测试了不同组成的PCL/SAN共混物中PCL的晶胞参数没有改变,说明SAN没有进入到PCL的晶胞内。以小角X-射线散射结果发现PCI片晶之间的距离随着SAN含量的增加而增大。以上说明SAN分子与没有结晶的PCL形成无定形相夹在PCL的片晶之间。     

聚环氧乙烷/聚乙基■唑啉共混体系结晶行为及相容性的研究

用偏光显微镜（ＰＬＭ）、ＤＳＣ、ＩＲ和ＷＡＸＤ等测试方法对聚环氧乙烷（ＰＥＯ）／聚乙基唑啉（ＰＥＯｘ）共混体系结晶行为及相容性进行了研究．结果表明，ＰＥＯ含量在３０％以上的共混体系中，几乎完全被球晶充满，非晶态ＰＥＯｘ作为微区分散在大球晶之间或之中；含量为２０％的共混体系照片上呈树枝状晶；含量低于１０％时则看不到结晶出现，体系形成单一的非晶相．对任何组成的共混物，均只出现单一的玻璃化转变温度（Ｔｇ），而且符合Ｆｏｘ方程揭示的规律；随ＰＥＯｘ组分含量的增加，共混体系的结晶度减小，熔点下降，并利用平衡熔点方程计算出ＰＥＯ与ＰＥＯｘ的相互作用能密度．非晶ＰＥＯ与ＰＥＯｘ热力学相容，其相容性是由于这两种分子间存在着特殊相互作用．ＰＥＯｘ的加入不会改变ＰＥＯ的晶胞参数．     

STUDIES OF THE CRYSTALLIZATION BEHAVIOR IN THE CRYSTALLINE/AMORPHOUS POLYMER BLENDS: POLY(ETHYLENE OXIDE)/POLY(METHYL METHACRYLATE) AND POLY(ETHYLENE OXIDE)/POLY(VINYL ACETATE)

The crystallization process of poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO)/poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA)and PEO/poly(vinyl acetate) (PVAc) blends has been characterized by Fourier Transform Infrared(FTIR) spectra in conjunction with Differential Scanning Calorimeter (DSC) measurements. Thecrystallinity of PEO varies consistently with PEO content in PEO/PVAc blends and the PEO/PMMAblends containing 50 wt% or less PMMA. For the PEO/PMMA blends containing 60 wt% ormore PMMA, the crystallinity of PEO decreases more than PEO content but develops with crystal-lization time. These results can be explained in terms of difference between the crystallization tem-perature (T_c) and glass transition temperature (T_g) of the blends as a function of content of amorphouscomponent.     

Miscible blends containing a crystallizable component: poly(vinyl alcohol)/poly(ethyleneimine)

Blends of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVAI) with poly(ethyleneimine) (PEI) were prepared by casting from a common solvent. All blends show a single, composition dependent glass transition temperature (T_g), indicating that the blends are miscible in the amorphous state and in the melt. The overall crystallization rate of PVAI in the blend decreases with increasing PEI content. The crystallinity index of PVAI in the blend does not decrease greatly with PEI content up to a composition of 70/30 PVAI/PEI, since the T_g of the crystallizable component PVAI is larger than that of the non-crystallizable component PEI. The T_g of the system PVAI/PEI decreases with increasing PEI content. The interaction parameter B of the two polymers in the melt was found to be −24 J/cm³.     

Phase behavior and crystallization of a poly(ethylene oxide)/cellulose acetate butyrate blend

The phase behavior of a partially miscible blend of poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) and cellulose acetate butyrate (CAB) and the crystalline microstructure of PEO in the blend were studied with differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), optical microscopy, and synchrotron small‐angle X‐ray scattering (SAXS) methods. PEO/CAB showed a lower critical solution temperature (LCST) of 168 °C at the critical composition of PEO of 60 wt %. All blend compositions showed a single glass‐transition temperature (T_g) when they were prepared at temperatures lower than the LCST. However, with increasing CAB content, T_g of the blend changed abruptly at 70 wt % CAB; that is, a cusp existed. Below 70 wt % CAB, the change in T_g with blend composition was predicted by the Brau–Kovacs equation, whereas this change was predicted by the Fox equation at higher CAB contents. A gradual but small depression of the melting point of PEO in the blend with an increasing amount of CAB suggested that the PEO/CAB blends exhibited a weak intermolecular interaction. From DSC and SAXS experiments, it was found that amorphous CAB was incorporated into the interlamellar region of PEO for blends with less than 20 wt % CAB, whereas it was segregated to exist in the interfibrillar region in PEO for other blends with larger amounts of CAB. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

A STUDY ON POLY (ETHYLENE OXIDE)/POLY(VINYL ACETATE)BLENDS

Melt blends of poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) and poly(vinyl acetate (PVAc) were prepared andstudied by Torsional Pendulum Analysis (TPA) and Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR). Two glasstransitions were found in these blends. The lower T_g corresponds to the segmental motion in thepure PEO. The dependence of the position and broadness of the higher T_g on composition of theblends indicates that the two components are compatible in the amorphous phase with micro-hetero-geneity. These T_g values observed from mixed PVAc/PEO phase are much higher than that calculatedfrom Fox equation. The comparison of the blends quenched and annealed from melt implies thatPVAc mixed with PEO at the segmental level on molten state and the deviation of T_g values fromFox equation could be due to variation of the blend's composition by crystallization of part of thePEO component. Further indication that the blends are compatible down to the level of chain segments and thatthere are specific interactions between PVAc and PEO molecules comes from the analysis of FTIRspectra of the blends and the solution of PVA in diethylene glycol dimethyl ether.     

聚（β－羟基丁酸酯）／聚双酚A羟基醚共混体系相容性及结构的研究

ＤＳＣ和ＦＴＩＲ测试表明，结晶／非晶共混体系聚（β－羟基丁酸酯）（ＰＨＢ）／聚双酚Ａ羟基醚（ＰＢＨＥ）是部分相容的．熔融结晶退火可以大大提高共混物的结晶度，增加其相容性，７５／２５组分ＰＨＢ相结晶度最大，５０／５０组分（０２０）、（１３０）晶面微晶尺寸最大．ＳＡＸＳ研究表明，纯ＰＨＢ的中间层约为１．５ｎｍ，片层厚约４．０ｎｍ；共混物的中间层在２．０ｎｍ左右，片层厚在５．０—７．２ｎｍ之间，５０／５０组分片层最厚．７５／２５组分晶相和非晶相的密度差最大．     

Specific interactions in blends of poly(ethylene oxide) and poly(bisphenol A-co-epichlorohydrin): FTIR and thermal study

Blends of poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) of high molecular weight with poly(bisphenol A-co-epichlorohydrin) (PBE) with high epoxy equivalent were studied spectroscopically, thermally and morphologically. As similar systems of low molecular weight, a single T_g was observed for all blends, indicating miscibility. A progressive decrease in the degree of crystallinity and in the size of the PEO spherulites as the PBE is added is also observed. Quantitative analysis from FTIR spectra provided determination of specific interactions between the constituents and their variation with PEO content. Simulations were performed utilising the spectra of the pure polymers to confirm that the observed changes in the experimental spectra of the blends were due to interaction between the polymers.     

Effect of PEO‐PPO‐PEO copolymer on the mechanical and thermal properties and morphological behavior of biodegradable poly (L‐lactic acid) (PLLA) and poly (butylene succinate‐co‐L‐lactate) (PBSL) blends

A blend of two biodegradable and semi‐crystalline polymers, poly (L‐lactic acid) (PLLA; 70 wt%) and poly (butylene succinate‐co‐L‐lactate) (PBSL; 30 wt%), was prepared in the presence of various polyethylene oxide‐polypropylene oxide‐polyethylene oxide (PEO‐PPO‐PEO) triblock copolymer contents (0.5, 1, 2 wt%). Mechanical, thermal properties, and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) analysis of the blends were investigated. It was found that the addition of copolymer to PLLA/PBSL improved the fracture toughness of the blends as shown by mode I fracture energies. It was supported by morphological analysis where the brittle deformation behavior of PLLA changed to ductile deformation with the presence of elongated fibril structure in the blend with copolymer system. The glass transition temperature (T_g), melting temperature (T_m) of PLLA, and PBSL shift‐closed together indicated that some compatibility exists in the blends. In short, PEO‐PPO‐PEO could be used as compatibilizer to improve the toughness and compatibility of the PLLA/PBSL blends. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Hydrogen‐Bonding Interaction and Crystalline Morphology in the Binary Blends of Poly(ε‐caprolactone) and Polyphenol Catechin

The specific intermolecular hydrogen‐bonding interaction between the ester carbonyl groups of poly(ε‐caprolactone) (PCL) and the phenolic hydroxyl groups of catechin has been studied by Fourier‐transform infrared spectroscopy (FT‐IR) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). According to quantitative curve‐fitting analysis of the FT‐IR spectra of PCL/catechin blends, it was found that the fraction of hydrogen‐bonded carbonyl groups of PCL increased with catechin content, while that of hydrogen‐bonded hydroxyl groups of catechin decreased. The calculated crystallinity of PCL in the binary blends, based on the curve‐fitting results, suggested that the crystallization of PCL was restrained in the blends with catechin. Only single glass transition temperature, T_g, was observed over the whole range of blend compositions, which was between those of the pure components. The melting point, T_m, depressed and T_g increased, indicating also the existence of strong intermolecular association. The blend composition dependence of T_g could be predicted very well by the Kwei equation with a positive ‘q’ value of 124. With the aid of small angle X‐ray scattering measurement, the segregation of catechin was investigated. It was found that the extent of extra‐lamellar segregation increased with catechin content. It was suggested that the crystal growth rate played the dominant role in the formation of morphology. With decreasing crystal growth rate of PCL component in the blends, enough time has been given to catechin molecules to diffuse into extra‐lamellar region.
