Thermal and mechanical properties of mandelic acid‐copolymerized poly(butylene succinate) and poly(ethylene adipate)

Phenyl side chains were introduced to poly(butylene succinate) and poly(ethylene adipate) by the polymerization of the respective monomers in the presence of mandelic acid. The increasing content of the phenyl side chains decreased the melting temperature and the crystallinity but increased the glass‐transition temperature of the aliphatic polyesters. The phenyl side branches reduced the crystallinity of poly(butylene succinate) more significantly than the ethyl or n‐octyl side branches did. The tensile strength, elongation, and tear strength of poly(ethylene adipate) decreased with an increase in the content of mandelic acid units. However, the increasing content of mandelic acid units enhanced the elongation and tear strength of poly(butylene succinate) considerably without a notable deterioration of tensile strength. The biodegradability of the copolyesters was increased as a result of the introduction of more mandelic acid units due to the decrease in the crystallinity. © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Melt drawing of ultra‐high molecular weight polyethylene: Comparison of Ziegler‐ and metallocene‐catalyzed reactor powders

The drawing behavior of the ultra‐high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMW‐PE) melts has been studied by comparing the stress/strain curves for two types of samples as polymerized using conventional Ziegler and newer metallocene catalyst systems. Two UHMW‐PE samples, having the same viscosity average molecular weight of 3.3 × 10⁶, but different molecular weight distribution, have been drawn from melt at special conditions. The sample films for drawing were prepared by compression molding of reactor powders at 180°C in the melt. Differences in the structural changes during drawing and resultant properties, ascribable to their broad or narrow molecular weight distribution, were estimated from tensile tests, SEM observations, X‐ray measurements and thermal analyses. The metallocene‐catalyzed sample having narrower molecular weight distribution, could be effectively drawn from the melt up to a maximum draw ratio (DR) of 20, significantly lower than that obtained for the Ziegler‐catalyzed sample, ∼ 50. The stress/strain curves on drawing were remarkably influenced by draw conditions, including draw temperature and rate. However, the most effective draw for both was achieved at 150°C and a strain rate of 5 min⁻¹, independent of sample molecular weight distribution. The efficiency of drawing, as evaluated by the resultant tensile properties as a function of DR, was higher for the metallocene‐catalyzed sample having narrower molecular weight distribution. Nevertheless, the maximum achieved tensile modulus and strength for the Ziegler sample, 50–55 and 0.90 GPa, respectively, were significantly higher than those for the metallocene sample, 20 and 0.65 GPa, respectively, reflecting the markedly higher drawability for the former than the latter. The stress/strain behavior indicated that the origin of differences during drawing from the melt could be attributed to the ease of chain relaxation for the lower molecular weight chains in the melt. © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Biodegradable aliphatic/aromatic copolyesters based on terephthalic acid and poly(L-lactic acid): Synthesis, characterization and hydrolytic degradation

<正>Biodegradable aliphatic/aromatic copolyesters,poly(butylene terephthalate-co-lactate)(PBTL) were prepared via direct melt polycondensation of terephthalic acid(TPA),1,4-butanediol(BDO) and poly(L-lactic acid) oligomer(OLLA). The effects of polymerization time and temperature,as well as aliphatic/aromatic moiety ratio on the physical and thermal properties were investigated.The largest molecular weight of the copolyesters was up to 64100 with molecular weight distribution index of 2.09 when the polycondensation was carried out at 230℃for 6 h.DSC,XRD,DMA and TGA analysis clearly indicated that the degree of crystallinity,glass-transition temperature,melting point,decomposition temperature, tensile strength,elongation and Young's modulus were influenced by the ratio between TPA and OLLA in the final copolyesters.Hydrolytic degradation results demonstrated that the incorporation of biodegradable lactate moieties into the aromatic polyester could efficiently improve hydrolytic degradability of the copolymer even though it still had many aromatic units in the main chains.     

Effects of stereo-defect distribution on the crystalline morphology and tensile behavior of isotactic polypropylene prepared by compression molding process

In this study, the aggregation morphology, tensile behavior, and morphology evolution during the tensile test of two isotactic polypropylene (iPP) samples with similar molecular weight and average isotacticity but different uniformities of stereo-defect distribution are investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), two-dimensional wide angle X-ray diffraction (2D-WAXD), and scanning electronic microscopy (SEM). The results revealed that the uniformity of stereo-defect distribution of iPP determines the crystalline structure and aggregation morphology, and further influences the tensile behavior and morphology evolution during the tensile test. For PP-A with less uniform stereo-defect distribution, its ability of crystallization is stronger compared with PP-B, resulting in smaller spherulite sizes, higher melting point and degree of crystallinity, and narrower distribution of lamellar thickness of the compression molding specimens. During the tensile test, mainly the inter-spherulite deformation takes place at the early stage for deformation, which further results in drastic deformation of lamellar and high degree of reorientation at the strain increases, exhibiting higher yield strength and elastic modulus, and lower elongation at break compared with PP-B; for PP-B with more uniform stereo-defect distribution, larger spherulite sizes, lower melting point and degree of crystallinity in its compression molding sample are observed. During the tensile test, intra-spherulite deformation mainly takes place, which can disperse the tensile stress more uniformly. As the strain increases, lower degree of crystalline destruction and reorientation of the crystallites take place. The yield strength and elastic modulus of PP-B is lower than PP-A, and its elongation at break is higher.     

A novel orientation technique for semi-rigid polymers. 2. Mechanical properties of cellulose acetate and hydroxypropylcellulose films

The networks of cellulose acetate and hydroxypropylcellulose prepared in the first part of this investigation were studied with regard to their mechanical properties. The quantities of particular interest were increases in tensile modulus and tensile strength obtained by drying the swollen films under strain, both uniaxial and equi-biaxial. These increases or improvements in mechanical properties were determined as a function of polymer concentration during cross-linking, polymer molecular weight, degree of cross-linking, and elongation during drying. In all cases, the improvements increased with increase in elongation during drying, and the largest increases were obtained in the case of the highest molecular weight polymer which had been lightly cross-linked in dilute (isotropic) solutions. The extent of ordering in these systems was gauged approximately by measurements of birefringence, which were correlated with their tensile moduli and tensile strengths.

Effects of dextran polydispersity on red blood cell aggregation

B 512 F dextran fractions of different polydispersities were prepared by fractionnal precipitation and preparative elution chromatography. By combination of low angle laser light scattering (LALLS) and gel permeation chromatography (GPC), absolute average molecular weights (MWs) and molecular weight distribution functions (MWDs) were determined. Static and thermodynamical properties in terms of polymer dimensions and second virial coefficient of dilute solutions of dextran in water have been investigated. The results indicate that dextran macromolecules in water are rather compact and impenetrable coils. Measuring the disaggregation shear stress of dextran-induced red blood cell aggregates by laser light reflectometry, the macromolecular bridging energy was shown to depend upon dextran sample polydispersity. This reflects the weak and reversible character of red blood cell aggregation by dextran chains in physiological saline solution.     

Thermal analysis and static strength of polyurethanes obtained from glycolysates

In this work thermal stability and tensile strength of polyurethanes obtained from glycolysates was investigated. The glycolysates were produced via glycolysis of waste polyurethane foam (PUR) in the reaction with 1,3-propylene glycol (PG). Polyurethanes were synthesized from the obtained intermediates by the prepolymer method using diisocyanate (MDI) and glycolysis product of molecular mass ranging from 700 to 1000, while 1,4-butylene glycol (BDO) was used as a chain elongation agent. The influence of NCO group concentration in prepolymer on tensile strength and elongation at break of polyurethanes was investigated using Zwick universal tensile tester. Thermal decomposition of the obtained glycolysates and polyurethanes was followed by TG coupled with FTIR spectroscopy. The main products of thermal decomposition have been identified.
