采用马来酸酐接枝聚丙烯(PP-g-MAH)对聚丙烯/聚对苯二甲酸乙二酯(PP/PET)共混体系进行增容,研究了增容前后复合体系的相形态和流变行为的变化.结果表明,共混体系中当PP组分为分散相时,增容剂能够显著减小PP液滴尺寸,使其形状松弛时间减小,变形与破裂的剪切敏感性降低;当共混体系两组分配比处于临界相反转点周围时,增容剂则会导致其内部部分双连续与“海-岛”结构共存的复杂相形态消失,低频区模量频率依赖性的增加表明体系内部界面结合程度的增加;而当共混体系中的PET组分为分散相时,增容剂的引入对体系结构流变学影响较小,表明增容效果不大.     

振荡剪切流场下PS/PVME/SiO2复合物的相行为

利用光学显微镜-剪切台联用系统研究了振荡剪切流场下聚苯乙烯（PS）/聚甲基乙烯基醚（PVME）/二氧化硅（SiO₂）纳米粒子复合物的热力学稳定性. 结果表明,小振幅振荡剪切可导致PS/PVME共混物出现类似在稳态流场下的剪切诱导相容及剪切诱导相分离现象. 共混体系存在临界振荡频率ω_c,当振荡频率低于ω_c时,发生剪切诱导相分离（SID）行为,反之发生剪切诱导相容（SIM）行为. SiO₂纳米粒子的加入使复合体系的相容性提高. 存在一个临界SiO₂纳米粒子含量φ_c,当SiO₂纳米粒子含量高于φ_c时,复合体系中不存在临界振荡频率ω_c,低振荡频率下的剪切诱导相分离得到抑制. 此外,复合体系的上述行为与升温速率和共混物组成密切相关.

采用熔体共混的方法制备了两种增容剂增容的聚酰胺1010/聚丙烯(PA1010/PP)共混物,通过扫描电镜(SEM)、力学性能和差示扫描量热(DSC)测试,对动态保压注射成型(动态)和普通注射成型(静态)中增容剂POE-g-MAH(马来酸酐接枝乙烯-辛烯共聚物)和PTW(乙烯-丙烯酸丁酯-甲基丙烯酸缩水甘油酯共聚物)对PA1010/PP共混物的增容作用进行了比较研究.研究结果表明,普通注射成型中,PTW增容体系具有更小的分散相粒子,在DSC测试中出现两个结晶峰,即出现异相成核结晶和均相成核结晶,具有更好的拉伸和冲击性能,增容作用更佳.动态保压注射成型中施加剪切可以提高所有共混物的拉伸强度、拉伸模量和缺口冲击强度,PTW和POE-g-MAH两种增容剂增容体系冲击性能相近,但POE-g-MAH增容体系的分散相相区尺寸减小明显、分布均匀性显著增加,材料冲击强度增加幅度更大,表明剪切更有利于POE-g-MAH增容作用的进行.两种增容剂增容作用的不同源于它们化学组成的不同引起的材料形态差别.

PP/PMMA/PP-g-MAH共混物的结晶和相形态研究

采用偏光显微镜和相差显微镜详细研究PP/PMMA不相容聚合物共混物体系和PP/PMMA/PP-g-PMMA增容共混体系的结晶和相形态.偏光显微照片的研究结果表明,增容剂PP-g-MAH中PP结晶需要克服更多的能垒,导致PP结晶形态变得不完善,球晶尺寸变小.比较PP/PMMA和PP/PMMA/PP-g-MAH的相差显微照片可以看出,由于增容剂的加入,PP与PMMA相之间的界面变得模糊,两相的相容性变好.随着PP-g-MAH中MAH接枝率的增加,PMMA分散相的尺寸减小且变得均匀;当增容剂的接枝率为2.41%,添加的质量分数为4.71%,PP/PMMA共混体系中PMMA分散相的相?尺寸可达最小.PP-g-MAH作为反应型增容剂,一方面与PP在界面区域产生共晶;另一方面,MAH极性基团与PMMA的极性基团间产生的强的化学键合作用,使得界面区域的PP-g-MAH分子采取有利于降低构象熵的构象来起到增容作用.PP/PMMA共混物在130℃等温结晶的结果显示,PMMA相对PP的结晶形态的影响较小,PP结晶呈现典型的均相成核特征.PP/PMMA共混体系中加入PP-g-MAH,PP结晶尺寸减少.与非等温结晶相比,等温结晶的PP/PMMA共混物中PMMA相区尺寸明显偏大.

Mesoscopic dynamics of inhomogeneous polymers based on variable cell shape dynamic self-consistent field theory

In this paper, we combine variable cell shape method with dynamic self-consistent field theory and extend to study structure and dynamics under shear for triblock copolymer melts. Due to shear, the calculation cell shape is variable and no longer orthogonal. Pseudospectral method is employed to solve the diffusion equation for chain propagator on the nonorthogonal coordinate and the shear periodical condition can be easily designed in terms of the variable cell shape method. By using this strategy, the shear induced morphology evolution is investigated for topologically complex polymeric systems such as linear and star triblock copolymers; the morphology of linear ABC triblock copolymers is more shear sensitive than that of star triblocks. In particular, once the chain propagator is obtained, the microscopic elastic stress and spatial stress distribution can be derived and thus the dynamic mechanical property can be calculated under shear. By imitating the dynamic storage modulus G' corresponding to any given morphology in the oscillatory shear measurements, we explore the relationship between the morphology and the storage modulus G' and extend to study the mechanism of phase separation dynamics as well as order-disorder transition (ODT) for linear and star triblock copolymers. The results show that the chain architecture can be easily distinguished by investigating the ODT, though the systems such as AB symmetric diblock and ABA triblock copolymers by coupling AB precursors almost exhibit similar microstructures. In addition, the storage modulus G' and loss modulus G" can be simultaneously determined in frequency sweeps of oscillatory shear measurements and the dependence of the moduli on phase separated patterns and the chain topology is investigated. The simulation findings are in qualitatively agreement with the experimental results.     

Effect of hydrodynamic interactions on the evolution of chemically reactive ternary mixtures

We investigate the structural evolution of an A/B/C ternary mixture in which the A and B components can undergo a reversible chemical reaction to form C. We developed a lattice Boltzmann model for this ternary mixture that allows us to capture both the reaction kinetics and the hydrodynamic interactions within the system. We use this model to study a specific reactive mixture in which C acts as a surfactant, i.e., the formation of C at the A/B interface decreases the interfacial tension between the A and B domains. We found that the dynamics of the system is different for fluids in the diffusive and viscous regimes. In the diffusive regime, the formation of a layer of C at the interface leads to a freezing of the structural evolution in the fluid; the values of the reaction rate constants determine the characteristic domain size in the system. In the viscous regime, where hydrodynamic interactions are important, interfacial reactions cause a slowing down of the domain growth, but do not arrest the evolution of the mixture. The results provide guidelines for controlling the morphology of this complex ternary fluid.     

Reactive compatibilization of polyamide‐6 (PA 6)/polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) blends by a multifunctional epoxy resin

A multifunctional epoxy resin has been demonstrated to be an efficient reactive compatibilizer for the incompatible and immiscible blends of polyamide‐6 (PA 6) and polybutylene terephthalate (PBT). The torque measurements give indirect evidence that the reaction between PA and PBT with epoxy has an opportunity to produce an in situ formed copolymer, which can be as an effective compatibilizer to reduce and suppress the size of the disperse phase, and to greatly enhance mechanical properties of PA/PBT blends. The mechanical property improvement is more pronounced in the PA‐rich blends than that in the PBT‐rich blends. The fracture behavior of the blend with less than 0.3 phr compatibilizer is governed by a particle pullout mechanism, whereas shear yielding is dominant in the fracture behavior of the blend with more than 0.3 phr compatibilizer. As the melt and crystallization temperatures of the base polymers are so close, either PA or PBT can be regarded as a mutual nucleating agent to enhance the crystallization on the other component. The presence of compatibilizer and in situ formed copolymer in the compatibilized blends tends to interfere with the crystallization of the base polymers in various blends. © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Morphology evolution and location of ethylene–propylene copolymer in annealed polyethylene/polypropylene blends

Binary blends of linear low density polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP), and ternary blends of PE, PP, and EP copolymer (EPR) were prepared in a finely mixed state. In all blends the ratio of PP to PE was 85/15. In some of the blends, the PE component was labeled with a fluorescent dye; in other blends, the EPR component was labeled. These blends were investigated by laser scanning confocal fluorescence microscopy [LCFM] as a function of annealing time as well as EPR compatibilizer content. In this way we were able to follow the evolution of sample morphology and the location of the EPR in the blends. The presence of EPR in the blends retards the growth of droplets of the dispersed PE phase. When EPR was added in amounts up to 5 wt %, it tended to cover the PE droplets in patches rather than form a true core-shell structure. In the LCFM images, the EPR/PP interface appeared sharper than the EPR/PE interface. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Polym Sci B: Polym Phys 35 : 979–991, 1997

Nematic-amorphous polymer interfaces in the presence of a compatibilizer

We introduce and apply a variant of a dynamic self-consistent field simulation in two dimensions to predict the structure of interfaces between a nematic and an amorphous polymer compatibilized by a diblock copolymer. First, we investigate the effect of the nematic order on the polymer polymer interface without compatibilizer. Then we include the compatibilizer and consider two interfacial setups previously used in experiments, i.e., the bilayer setup and the trilayer setup. In the bilayer setup the diblock copolymer is mixed into the amorphous homopolymer and migrates to the interface in the course of the simulation forming a layered structure. We compare the amount of copolymer at the interface for initial concentrations of the copolymer below and above the critical micelle concentration. In the trilayer setup the initial thickness of the diblock copolymer is varied. The resulting interfacial morphology evolves in the competition between the lamellar structure induced by the interface and a micellar structure, which is intrinsic to the copolymer.     

Facile One‐Pot Synthesis of Functional Giant Polymeric Vesicles Controlled by Oscillatory Chemistry

We introduce a novel application of an oscillatory chemical reaction to the synthesis of block copolymers. The Belousov–Zhabotinsky (B‐Z) reaction is coupled with the polymerization of an amphiphilic block copolymer. Radicals generated in the B‐Z reaction initiate the polymerization between a polyethylene glycol (PEG) macroreversible addition‐fragmentation chain‐transfer agent and butyl acrylate monomers. The attachment of a hydrophobic block on PEG leads to self‐assembly and formation of spherical micelles. The nanoscale micelles transform into submicrometer vesicles and grow to giant vesicles as a consequence of the oscillatory behavior of the B‐Z reaction. The one‐pot synthesis of an amphiphilic di‐block copolymer and retention of oscillatory behavior for the B‐Z reaction with the formation of giant vesicles bring a new insight into possible pathways for the synthesis of active functional microreactors in the range from hundreds of nanometers to tens of micrometers.
