增容剂对聚对苯二甲酸乙二酯/聚丙烯共混体系结构流变学的影响

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.     

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.

POE-g-PMAH反应性增容PA1010/PP共混物的性能研究

乙烯-辛烯共聚物-g-聚马来酸酐(POE-g-PMAH)作为反应性增容剂,采用熔体共混的方法制备了PA1010/PP共混物,通过扫描电镜(SEM)、力学性能、傅立叶变换红外光谱(FTIR)和示差扫描量热(DSC)测试,研究了POE-g-PMAH对PA1010/PP共混物的增容作用.结果表明,POE-g-PMAH的加入可以减小共混物的相区尺寸,当PA1010/PP/POE-g-PMAH=70/30/15时,分散相尺寸小而均匀;FTIR结果表明接枝在POE上的马来酸酐基团和PA1010在熔融共混期间发生了化学反应;DSC研究结果表明共混体系中PA1010和PP的结晶温度和结晶度随POE-g-PMAH的加入而降低,表明POE-g-PMAH的增容作用对PA1010和PP的结晶有抑制作用.力学性能测试结果表明随着POE-g-PMAH的增加,共混物的冲击强度逐渐增加,当POE-g-PMAH含量增加到15%时,干态冲击强度达到21.13 kJ/m2,是不加增容剂的3.1倍,而拉伸和弯曲强度可以保持较高水平.POE-g-PMAH的增容机理在于其支链中的马来酸酐能与PA1010中的胺基(NH2—)发生化学反应,而主链POE与PP有较好的亲和性,从而降低界面张力,减少相区尺寸,大幅度提高力学性能.     

SEP对PP/PS共混物的增容作用

Crystallization behavior of polypropylene/polycarbonate blends

Crystallization behavior and morphology of polypropylene (PP)/polycarbonate (PC) blends have been studied by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). In the study of non-isothermal crystallization of the blends, the phenomenon of multiple crystallization peaks of PP/PC blends was related to the blend morphology in which PP was the dispersed phase as small droplets in the PC matrix. The phenomenon of a single crystallization peak of the PP/PC blends was related to the blend morphology in which PP was a continuous phase; in that case the crystallization peak temperatures of the blends were higher than that of the PP. The isothermal crystallization kinetics of the PP and PP/PC (80/20) blend were described by the Avrami equation. The results showed that the Avrami exponent of the PP/PC (80/20) blend was higher than that of the PP, and the crystallization rate of the PP/PC (80/20) blend was faster than that of the PP. The crystallization rate of the PP and PP/PC (80/20) blend were calculated according to the Hoffmann theory. Both the PP and PP/PC (80/20) blend had maximum crystallization rates. The temperature at the maximum crystallization rate for the PP/PC (80/20) blend was higher than that of the PP.     

Effect of novel compatibilizers on the properties and morphology of PP/PC blends

A series of compatibilizers, including polypropylene (PP) grafted with 2‐tertbutyl‐6‐(3‐tertbutyl‐ 2‐hydroxy‐5‐methylbenzyl)‐4‐methylphenyl acrylic ester (BPA), glycidyl methacrylate (GMA), GMA/styrene (GMA‐st), and 2‐allyl bisphenol A (2A) were investigated for the purpose of improving the compatibility of PP/polycarbonate (PC) blends. PP‐g‐BPA shows a remarkable compatibilizing effect on PP/PC blends since it has similar group‐benzene ring with PC, and it is a sort of heat‐resistant antioxidant in the meantime, which can reduce the molecular degradation of PP during grafting and blending under high temperatures. Its compatibilizing effect was examined in terms of the mechanical, thermal properties, and morphologies. PP/PC blends show a decreasing and much more homogeneous size of dispersed PC particles through addition of a small amount of PP‐g‐BPA, and dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) reveals a noticeable approach of T_g between PP and PC, indicating the improvement of the compatibility of PP/PC blends. Furthermore, styrene‐ethylene‐butylene‐styrene (SEBS) as a toughening rubber and a compatibilizer was applied to PP/PC blends. Around 25 wt% SEBS and 20 wt% PC lead to high toughness and strength of PP. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Preparation and properties of PP/PC/POE blends

In order to develop PP (polypropylene)‐based blends with balanced toughness and rigidity, the poly‐blends of PP/PC (polycarbonate)/POE (ethylene–octene copolymer) were prepared by applying styrene–ethylene–propylene–styrene (SEPS) as the macromolecular compatibilizer. The compatibilizing effect was studied in terms of the mechanical, morphologies and thermal properties, and the compatibilized PP‐based blends presented remarkable improvement in impact toughness and balanced tensile strength due to the formed special morphology structure. Additionally, by preparing the pre‐blend of PC/SEPS, the melt viscosity of the PP matrix can match that of the dispersed phase PC and POE, which led to a further improvement in the mechanical property of the blends.

聚丙烯多相体系中β晶的研究进展

综述了近年来聚丙烯(PP)基多相体系,如PP/弹性体(橡胶)、PP/聚乙烯(PE)、PP/对苯二甲酸乙二脂(PET)、PP/聚酰胺(PA)等共混体系和PP/CaCO3、PP/滑石粉、PP/蒙脱土(MMT)以及PP与其它无机物的复合体系中聚丙烯β晶的研究进展,阐述了在这些聚丙烯基共混和复合体系中影响聚丙烯β晶生成的因素、聚丙烯β晶的生成机理以及聚丙烯β晶对多相体系结构和性能的影响,并对富含β晶的聚丙烯(PP)基多相体系的研究和应用的发展趋势进行了展望。     

PP-g-(GMA-co-St)对PA6/PC共混物的反应增容作用

用红外、扫描电镜、熔体流动速率和力学性能等测试方法,研究了甲基丙烯酸缩水甘油酯(GMA)和苯乙烯(St)多单体熔融接枝聚丙烯[PP-g-(GMA-co-St)]对PA6/PC共混物的反应增容作用.研究结果表明,在熔融共混过程中,PP-g-(GMA-co-St)中的环氧基与PA6的端氨基及PC的端羟基原位生成的接枝共聚物有效地降低了共混物相间的界面张力,明显提高了共混物相界面的粘着力.少量的PP-g-(GMA-co-St)就能使PA6和PC的相容性得到显著改善.当PP-g-(GMA-co-St)的质量分数为10%时,共混物分散相的相区尺寸细化到0.2μm,其力学性能也有较大提高.PA6/PC/PP-g-(GMA-co-St)共混物的力学性能均衡,达到了弹性体增韧体系难以达到的效果.即使PP-g-(GMA-co-St)组分含量为20%时,共混物仍能保持较好的力学性能,特别是在共混物的韧性得以提高的同时,其强度和伸长率也提高.     

Multiwalled carbon nanotube promotes crystallisation while preserving co-continuous phase morphology of polycarbonate/polypropylene blend

The influence of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) on phase morphology, lamellar structure, thermal stability, melting behaviour and isothermal crystallisation kinetics of polycarbonate/polypropylene (PC/PP) blend nanocomposites has been investigated. Both neat blends and PC/PP (60/40)/MWCNT nanocomposites were prepared by melt mixing method. Morphological analyses were performed by high-resolution X-ray micro-computed tomography and scanning electron microscopy. The co-continuous morphology of the blend was retained irrespective of MWCNT loading. In addition, a substantial refinement in the co-continuous structure was observed. Wide angle and small angle X-ray scattering studies were used to analyse the structural properties of the blend nanocomposites. The addition of MWCNT increases the long period of polypropylene. The influence of addition of MWCNT on the crystallisation temperature and equilibrium melting temperature (Tm°) of polypropylene was followed. The MWCNTs promote crystallisation rate of polypropylene in the blend nanocomposites.     

Thermal degradation and crystallisation studies of reactively compatibilised polymer blends

The thermal degradation and crystallisation behaviours of polyamide12/isotactic polypropylene (PA12/PP) blends were studied. Effects of blend ratio and compatibiliser concentration on the thermal degradation properties of the blends were analysed. The activation energy for degradation in compatibilised and uncompatibilised blends computed using Horowitz-Metzger equation was reported. The blend ratio as well as the presence of compatibiliser has significant effect on the thermal stability of the blends. Phase morphology was found to be one of the decisive factors that affected the thermal stability of both uncompatibilised and compatibilised blends. Melting and crystallisation behaviours of the blends in the presence and absence of compatibiliser were evaluated. It was observed that blending has no significant effect on the melting and crystallisation properties of PA12 and PP. Compatibilisation of 70/30 and 50/50 PA12/PP blends didn't affect the crystallisation and melting behaviours of PA12 and PP even though some discrepancies were observed.     

Properties of immiscible and ethylene-butyl acrylate-glycidyl methacrylate terpolymer compatibilized poly (lactic acid) and polypropylene blends

Poly(lactic acid) (PLA) and polypropylene (PP) blends of various proportions were prepared by melt-compounding. The miscibility, phase morphology, thermal behavior, and mechanical and rheological properties of the blends were investigated. The blends were immiscible systems with two typical morphologies, spherical droplet and co-continuous, and could be obtained at various compositions. Complex viscosity, storage modulus and loss modulus depend on the PP content. Thermal degradation of all blends led to two weight losses, for PLA and PP. The incorporation of PP improved the thermal stability of the blend. The effect of compatibilizer (ethylene-butyl acrylate-glycidyl methacrylate terpolymer, EBA-GMA) on the morphology and mechanical properties of 70/30 w/w PLA/PP blends was investigated. The tensile strength of these blends reached a maximum for 2.5 wt% EBA-GMA, and impact strength increased with increasing EBA-GMA content, suggesting that EBA-GMA is an effective compatibilizer for PLA/PP blends.     

IMPROVED PROPERTIES OF METALLOCENE-CATALYZED LINEAR LOW-DENSITY POLYETHYLENE/POLYPROPYLENE BLENDS DURING ULTRASONIC EXTRUSION

Metallocene-catalyzed linear low-density polyethylene/polypropylene （mLLDPE/PP） blends were prepared by ultrasonic extrusion in this work. Their extrusion processing behaviors were estimated by online measured data, such as the die pressure and flow rate. Crystallization and mechanical properties of the blends were also investigated. The results show that the addition of PP improves the processing behaviors of mLLDPE, but has little effect on its mechanical properties. On the other hand, the addition of mLLDPE improves the impact strength of PP, but has little effect on its processing behavior. The processing behaviors and mechanical properties of mLLDPE/PP blends get further improved due to the presence of ultrasonic oscillation during extrusion. Compared with PP-rich blends, the apparent viscosity drop of mLLDPE-rich blends is more sensitive to ultrasonic oscillation. The ultrasonic oscillation affects the crystal nucleation, while barely the other crystalline behaviors of the blends.     

Blends of polycarbonate and ethylene-1-octylene copolymer

The mechanical properties and morphology of polycarbonate/ethylene-1-octylene copolymer (PC/POE) binary blends and PC/POE/ionomer ternary blends were investigated. The tensile strength and elongation at break of the PC/POE blends decreased with increasing the POE content. The impact strength of the PC/POE blends showed less dependence on thickness than that of PC. And the low-temperature impact strength of PC was modified effectively by addition of POE. The morphology of the PC/POE blends was observed by scanning electron microscope. The PC/POE weight ratio had a great effect on the morphology of the PC/POE blends. For the PC/POE (80/20)/ionomer ternary blends, low content (0.25 and 0.5 phr) of ionomer could increase the tensile properties of PC/POE (80/20) blend and had little effect on the impact strength. And 0.5 phr ionomer made the dispersed domain distribute more uniformly and finely than the blend without it. But with high content of ionomer, the degradation of PC made the mechanical properties of the blends deteriorate. Blending PC and ionomer proved the degradation of PC, and the molecular weight decreased with increasing the ionomer content.
