双核单茂钛催化苯乙烯间规聚合反应

二十世纪八十年代,Ishihara等人首次使用钛/甲基铝氧烷(MAO)催化体系成功地制备了间规聚苯乙烯(sPS)[1].此后,由于sPS具有结晶速度快,熔点达270℃,赋予了sPS不同于一般聚苯乙烯的优良性能,因此研制新型的苯乙烯间规聚合催化剂成为国内外的研究热点之一.以往的研究主要集中于催化剂活性的提高,因为单核催化剂只是单一的活性中心,所以只能制备窄分子量分布(MWD)的sPS.近年来,为了提高sPS的加工性能和拓宽sPS的分子量分布,人们使用了不同的茂金属混合物[2,3]或者Z iegler-Natta催化剂的氢化物和单一的茂金属进行了诸多尝试[4,5].至今,…     

sPS/PET/SsPS-H共混体系的研究

Mechanical and thermal properties of syndiotactic polystyrene blends with poly(p-phenylene sulfide)

Melt blends of syndiotactic polystyrene (sPS) and poly(p-phenylene sulfide) (PPS) have been prepared by using an internal mixer at 300 °C. The thermal, mechanical and morphological properties of binary blends of sPS with PPS have been investigated in this paper. The thermal and morphological properties show the immiscible binary blend evidences, which have a clear phase separation between the components at all compositions and a lack of adhesion at the interface. According to the X-ray diffraction patterns of blends, the crystalline structure of sPS in the blend is not altered from α form to β form. Indeed, the results for tensile test reveal that there is no synergism of the modulus of elasticity for sPS/PPS blend system.     

Phase morphology, crystallisation behaviour and mechanical properties of isotactic polypropylene/high density polyethylene blends

The phase morphology, crystallisation behaviour and mechanical properties of isotactic polypropylene (iPP)/high density polyethylene (HDPE) blends were investigated. It was found that the properties are intimately related to each other. The morphology of the blends showed a two phase structure in which the minor phase was dispersed as domains in the major continuous matrix phase. The domain size of the dispersed phase increased with increasing concentration of that phase due to coalescence. It was also found that the domain size of the dispersed phase depends on the viscosity difference between the two phases. For a given HDPE/iPP blend, where HDPE is the matrix and iPP is the dispersed phase, the iPP domains were smaller than HDPE domains of the corresponding iPP/HDPE blend where iPP is the matrix and HDPE is the dispersed phase. A co-continuous morphology was observed at 50/50 PP/HDPE composition. Crystallinity studies revealed that blending has not much effect on the crystalline melting point of polypropylene and high density polyethylene. The crystallisation enthalpy and heat of fusion values of HDPE and PP in the blend were decreased as the amount of the other component increased. The variation in percent crystallinity of HDPE and PP in the blend was found to depend on the morphology of the blend. All the mechanical properties except Young's modulus and hardness showed negative deviation from the additivity line. This is due to the incompatibility of these blends.     

Polymer blends of sPS/PA6 compatibilized by sulfonated syndiotactic polystyrene

Syndiotactic polystyrene (sPS) and polyamide-6 (PA6) are immiscible and incompatible and have been recognized. In this study, sulfonated syndiotactic polystyrene (SsPS-H) is employed as compatibilizer in the blend of sPS/PA6. During melt blending, the sulfonic acid groups of the SsPS-H can interact strongly with the amine end-groups of PA6 through acid-base interaction. In addition, SsPS-H is miscible with sPS when SsPS-H content is less than 20 wt.%. Therefore, the addition of SsPS-H to sPS/PA6 blends reduces the dispersed phase size and improves the adhesion between the phases. The glass transition temperatures of the PA6 component in the compatibilized blends shift progressively towards higher temperature with the content of SsPS-H-12 increase, indicating enhanced compatibility. On the other hand, the progressive lowering of the melting point and crystallization temperatures of PA6 in the blends with increasing SsPS-H contents compared to the incompatibilized blend, provide some insight into the level of interaction between the PA6 and SsPS-H. The compatibilized blends have significantly higher impact strength than the blends without SsPS-H. The best improvement in the impact strength of the blends was achieved with the content of the SsPS-H (11.9 mol%) about 5 wt.%.     

Blends of isotactic polypropylene and natural terpene resins. I. Phase structure,thermal, and dynamic‐mechanical properties

This article discusses the influence of two natural terpene resins (NTR), poly(α‐pinene) (PαP A115) and poly(d‐limonene) (PL C115), on morphology, miscibility, thermal, and dynamic‐mechanical properties of their blends with isotactic polypropylene (iPP). The NTR have interesting physical and chemical properties, and they are approved for food contact application. From the results of differential scanning calorimetry and dynamic‐mechanical thermal analysis it was deduced that both the resins were completely miscible with the amorphous iPP up to the composition investigated here (70/30 wt %). Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis instead showed that the 70/30 iPP/PαP A115 blend and 80/20 and 70/30 iPP/PL C115 blends contained very small domains homogeneously distributed into the matrix. It is hypothesized that the domains are likely formed by the terpene‐rich phase, and the matrix by the iPP‐rich phase (besides the crystallized iPP phase). The iPP‐rich phase and the NTR‐rich phase would have the glass transition temperatures so close that they cannot be resolved by DSC and DMTA. Finally, for the iPP/PαP A115 system an upper critical solution temperature (UCST) is proposed. © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Polym Sci B: Polym Phys 37: 867–878, 1999     

Morphology and properties of isotactic polypropylene/poly(ethylene terephthalate) in situ microfibrillar reinforced blends: Influence of viscosity ratio

In situ microfibrillar reinforced blends based on blends of isotactic polypropylene (iPP) and poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) were successfully prepared by a “slit extrusion-hot stretching-quenching” process. Four types of iPP with different apparent viscosity were utilized to investigate the effect of viscosity ratio on the morphology and mechanical properties of PET/iPP microfibrillar blend. The morphological observation shows that the viscosity ratio is closely associated to the size of dispersed phase droplets in the original blends, and accordingly greatly affects the microfibrillation of PET. Lower viscosity ratio is favorable to formation of smaller and more uniform dispersed phase particles, thus leading to finer microfibrils with narrower diameter distribution. Addition of a compatibilizer, poly propylene-grafted-glycidyl methacrylate (PP-g-GMA), can increase the viscosity ratio and decrease the interfacial tension between PET and iPP, which tends to decrease the size of PET phase in the unstretched blends. After stretched, the aspect ratio of PET microfibrils in the compatibilized blends is considerably reduced compared to the uncompatibilized ones. The lower viscosity ratio brought out higher mechanical properties of the microfibrillar blends. Compared to the uncompatibilized microfibrillar blends, the tensile, flexural strength and impact toughness of the compatibilized ones are all improved.     

Phase morphology and mechanical properties of iPP/SEP blends

The effects of the addition of diblock copolymer poly(styrene‐b‐ethylene‐co‐propylene) (SEP) to isotactic polypropylene (iPP) on the morphology and mechanical properties were investigated. Phase morphologies of iPP/SEP blends up to a 70/30 weight ratio, prepared in Brabender Plasticoder, were studied with optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and wide‐angle X‐ray diffraction. The addition of 2.5 wt % SEP caused a nucleation effect (by decreasing the crystallite and spherulite size) and randomization of the crystallites. With further SEP addition, the crystallite and spherulite size increased because of prolonged solidification and crystallization and achieved the maximum in the 80/20 iPP/SEP blend. This maximum was a result of the appearance of β spherulites and the presence of mixed α spherulites in the 80/20 iPP/SEP blend. Dispersed SEP particles were irregular and elongated clusters consisting of oval and spherical core–shell microdomains or SEP micelles. SEP clusters accommodated their shapes to interlamellar and interspherulitic regions, which enabled a well‐developed spherulitization even in the 70/30 iPP/SEP blend. The addition of SEP decreased the yield stress, elongation at yield, and Young's modulus but significantly improved the notched impact strength with respect to the strength of pure iPP at room temperature. Some theoretical models for the determination of Young's modulus of iPP/SEP blends were applied for a comparison with the experimental results. The experimental line was closest to the Takayanagi series model. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Polym Sci B: Polym Phys 39: 566–580, 2001     

Crystallization and phase morphology of injection‐molded isotactic polypropylene (iPP)/syndiotactic polypropylene (sPP) blends

The crystallization and phase morphology of the injection‐molded isotactic polypropylene (iPP)/syndiotactic polypylenen (sPP) blends were studied, focusing on the difference between the skin layer and core layer. The distribution of crystallinity of PPs in the blends calculated based upon the DSC results shows an adverse situation when compared with that in the neat polymer samples. For 50/50 wt % iPP/sPP blend, the SEM results indicated that a dispersed structure in the skin layer and a cocontinuous structure in the core layer were observed. A migration phenomenon that the sPP component with lower crystallization temperature and viscosity move to the core layer, whereas the iPP component with higher crystallization temperature and viscosity move to the skin layer, occurred in the iPP/sPP blend during injection molding process. The phenomenon of low viscosity content migrate to the low shear zone may be due to the crystallization‐induced demixing based upon the significant difference of crystallization temperature in the sPP and iPP. This migration caused the composition inhomogeneity in the blend and influenced the accuracy of crystallinity calculated based upon the initial composition. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Effects of the oriented mesophase on the cold crystallization of syndiotactic polystyrene and its blend with poly(2,6‐dimethyl‐1,4‐phenylene oxide)

The effects of molecular orientation on the crystallization and polymorphic behaviors of syndiotactic polystyrene (sPS) and sPS/poly(2,6‐dimethyl‐1,4‐phenylene oxide) (PPO) blends were studied with wide‐angle X‐ray diffraction (WAXD) and differential scanning calorimetry. The oriented amorphous films of sPS and sPS/PPO blends were crystallized under constraint at crystallization temperatures ranging from 140 to 240°C. The degree of crystallinity was lower in the cold‐crystallized oriented film than in the cold‐crystallized isotropic film. This was in contrast to the case of the cold crystallization of other polymers such as poly(ethylene terephthalate) and isotactic polystyrene, in which the molecular orientation induced crystallization and accelerated crystal growth. It was thought that the oriented mesophase was obtained in drawn films of sPS and that the crystallization of sPS was suppressed in that phase. The WAXD measurements showed that the crystal phase was more ordered in an sPS/PPO blend than in pure sPS under the same annealing conditions. The crystalline order recovered in the cold‐crystallized sPS/PPO blends in comparison with the cold‐crystallized pure sPS because of the decrease in the mesophase content. The crystal forms depended on the crystallization temperature, blend composition, and molecular orientation. Only the α′‐crystalline form was obtained in cold‐crystallized pure sPS, regardless of molecular orientation, whereas α′, α″, and β′ forms coexisted in the cold‐crystallized sPS/PPO blends prepared at higher crystallization temperatures (200–240°C). The β′‐form content was much lower in the oriented sPS/PPO blend than in the isotropic blend sample at the same temperature and composition. It was concluded that the oriented mesophase suppressed the crystallization of the stable β′ form more than that of the metastable α′ and α″ forms during the cold crystallization of sPS/PPO blends. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
