聚乙烯原生态颗粒样品相结构的宽线氢谱分析

本文测定了原生态聚乙烯粒子样品的固体核磁宽线氢谱，并应用三组分（晶相、无定形相以及两者的界面相）分析的方法对谱图进行了分解，从而得到各相质量分率以及相区内分子运动性的信息。对谱图进行三组分解析的依据是：1）结晶相内大分子链运动受阻，对谱线的贡献可用高斯函数描述；2）无定形相内分子运动具有类似液体中的性质因而对谱线的贡献用洛仑兹函数描述；3）两者的界面相内亚甲基绕C-C键的转动部分受阻，用高斯和洛仑兹函数的组合函数进行描述。所选取的聚乙烯粒子包括改变聚合条件的系列单峰线性高密度聚乙烯、双峰高密度聚乙烯以及双峰线性低密度聚乙烯。研究发现，核磁结晶度与WAXD方法所测得的结晶度较为吻合并大大高于DSC方法所测得的结晶度，表明核磁结晶度中仍包含非晶区分子链的贡献。对于改变聚合条件所得到的同一组系列线性高密度聚乙烯，其固体核磁相结构受聚合条件的影响不大，然而核磁结晶相中的“缺陷区”含量受到聚合条件的影响较大。通过单峰线性高密度聚乙烯和双峰高密度聚乙烯的三相结构对比，发现核磁界面相的性质与晶区间系带分子的含量联系紧密，因此将对聚合物的力学性能产生重要影响。

双峰聚合物分子刷的层化机理

建立了用于模拟双峰聚合物分子刷相结构的自洽场理论. 模拟结果表明, 良溶剂条件能够促使双峰聚合物分子刷裂分为内外两个亚分子层, 其中短链居于内分子层, 而长链伸展到外分子层. 体系溶解性的加强不仅使聚合物的密度分布逐渐趋近强分凝理论的解析结果, 而且加大了分子链的伸展和链段的局部取向程度. 分子链接枝密度的增加能够促使分子刷的层化, 并且在良溶剂区域, 不同接枝密度的分子链密度分布可以回归到同一条主线. 在良溶剂条件下, 长链的聚合度对短链的密度分布影响不大, 但能够导致长链向外分子层扩展.

DC electrorheological response of polyethylene/organically modified layered silicate nanocomposites

The present work reports the electrorheological (ER) response of high‐density polyethylene (HDPE)/organically modified silicate layers nanocomposites based on four commercially available HDPE matrices. Two single‐site catalyzed bimodal resins, one single‐site catalyzed unimodal resin and one Ziegler–Natta catalyzed unimodal resin are studied. It is revealed that the distinct separation of the two modes of the bimodal HDPE resins significantly enhances the ER response. It is proposed that the slower structural relaxation modes introduced by higher molecular weight species in the bimodal HDPE matrices enhance the ER response of the nanocomposites. This is ascribed to the longer induction time for leaking current density, which is an indicator of mobility and release of immobilized cationic surfactants at the silicate layers surface induced by field exposure. It is found that the screening effect of prematurely released cationic surfactants leads to a weaker ER response in nanocomposites whose matrices have faster relaxation modes. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Modification of epoxy-amine compositions on the basis of water-soluble resin

Water-soluble epoxy-amine compositions have been synthesized. The possibility of modification of water-soluble hydantoin-containing epoxy resin marketed under the brand name SEG-6 with such products as medium-molecular-weight epoxy resin under the brand name Epofom-1s and high-molecular-weight polymers, namely, petropolymeric resin under the brand name Quintone C200S and CSPE-MK chlorosulfonated polyethylene, is studied. It is shown that the compositions produced as a result of such modification are water-soluble and exhibit a long lifetime, and the materials obtained on their basis are characterized by high elastic-deformation and adhesive properties in comparison with polymers on the basis of SEG-6 resin.

Synthesis of polyethylene with bimodal molecular weight distribution by supported iron‐based catalyst

Through immobilization of two iron‐based complexes, [((2,6‐MePh)N = C(Me))₂C₅H₃N]FeCl₂ ( 1 ) and [((2,6‐iPrPh)N = C(Me))₂C₅H₃N]FeCl₂ ( 2 ), on SiO₂ pretreated with tetraethylaluminoxane (TEAO), two supported iron‐based catalysts, 1 /TEAO/SiO₂ ( 3 ) and 2 /TEAO/SiO₂ ( 4 ), were prepared. These two supported catalysts 3 and 4 could be used to catalyze ethylene polymerization with moderate polymerization activity and prepare linear high‐density polyethylene with bimodal molecular weight distribution (MWD). It was demonstrated that immobilization of catalyst could significantly improve molecular weight (MW) of high‐MW fraction of the resultant polyethylene, as well as maintain bimodal MWD of polyethylene produced by the corresponding homogeneous catalysts. Such bimodal MWD of polyethylene produced by supported iron‐based catalysts could be well tailored by varying polymerization conditions, such as ethylene pressure and molar ratio of Al to Fe. It has been proven that TEAO is an efficient activator for both homogeneous and heterogeneous iron‐based catalysts for producing polyethylene with bimodal MWD. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Improved interfacial properties of carbon fiber/UHMWPE composites through surface coating on carbon fiber surface

Carbon fibers were coated in an attempt to improve the interfacial properties between carbon fibers and ultra‐high molecular weight polyethylene resin matrix. Atomic force microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy were performed to characterize the changes of carbon fiber surface. Atomic force microscopy results show that the coating of carbon fiber significantly increased the carbon fiber surface roughness. X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy indicates that silicon containing functional groups obviously increased after modification. Interlaminar shear strength was used to characterize the interfacial properties of the composites.

The Influence of Ethyl Branch on Formation of Shish-Kebab Crystals in Bimodal Polyethylene under Shear at Low Temperature

Formation of shish-kebab crystals using a bimodal polyethylene system containing high molecular weight(HMW)component with different ethyl branch contents was investigated.In situ small-angle X-ray scattering(SAXS)and wide-angle X-ray diffraction(WAXD)techniques were used to monitor the formation and evolution of shish-kebab structure sheared at low temperature in simple shear mode and low rate.Only the bimodal PE with no branch formed shish-kebab crystals at the shear temperature of 129℃,and the shish length increased with the crystallization time,while bimodal PE with branch has no observable shish under the same conditions.The degree of crystallization for bimodal PE with no branch increased with time up to above 7％,while those with ethyl branch increased continually up to above 23％.Furthermore,bimodal PE's Hermans orientation factor with no branch increased to 0.60,while those with ethyl branch only increased to a value below 0.15.This study indicated that the shish-kebab crystal formed at the low temperature of 129℃is due to the stretch of entangled chains under shear for the bimodal PE with no branch.Only partly oriented lamellar crystals were formed for the bimodal PE with ethyl branch.All the results at the shear temperatures higher,closed to,and lower than the melting point,the modulation of shish crystals formation owing to different mechanisms of the coil-stretch transition and the stretched network by changing shear temperature was achieved in the bimodal PE samples.
