聚对苯二甲酸乙二酯非晶态膜片单轴热——拉伸中的结晶与松弛

用动态力学损耗温度谱作为测试手段,研究了非晶态PET膜片在78—112℃温度范围内的单轴拉伸。实验结果说明,在较低温度下所得结晶的拉伸试样,完全由于应变诱发结晶,发生在应力-应变曲线的屈服后应力开始上升的阶段。在较高温度下(90℃或更高)拉伸可得非晶态而且光学各向同性的试样,是由于分子链的小尺度取向在拉伸过程中已完全热松弛所致,而分子链的大尺度取向要通过高弹态流动而松弛,其速率较慢,用拉伸后试样两端固定时的应力松弛进行了观察。在较低温度下应力松弛后仍为非晶态,在较高温度下应力松弛到起始应力的1O％下才开始结晶。FTIR研究表明在这种状态下的结晶有一结晶诱导期,其时间尺度与应力松弛阶段相当。     

自增强高性能聚合物的成型工艺同力学性能间相关性研究——1.超高分子量聚乙烯的应力诱导结晶理论和其自增强作用

本文发展了一种高分子量聚合物熔融体的应力诱导结晶结构形态模型,它是由微晶聚集体(以下简称微区)-高分子链组网和缠结网的网络结构组成。基于上述模型,把二种网中的单个链组作为独立的统计单元和形变单元,计算了二种网中单个链组的末端距分布函数,进一步计算了二种网和总网的形变自由能。在此基础上,讨论了诱导结晶结晶机理和自增强聚合物网络自由能的依赖性,并着重地研究了超拉伸高聚物的起始熔点拉伸比间的关系。用超高分子量聚乙烯膜和超取向高密度聚乙烯纤维的起始熔点和拉伸比的实验数据进行处理,得到理论予期的近似直线关系,初步验证了聚合物网应力诱导结晶理论。     

冰点下降法研究交联网络结构对天然橡胶力学性能的影响

通过溶胀硫化胶的溶剂冰点下降法研究了3种不同促进剂体系天然橡胶硫化胶交联网络结构对力学性能的影响.交联密度研究表明,加入TU或STU硫化胶的交联密度与单独使用CZ促进剂硫化胶的基本一致.溶胀硫化胶溶剂冰点DSC研究结果发现,添加了STU硫化胶的溶剂冰点下降幅度最小,而溶剂冰点下降峰的半峰宽(FWHM)值最大,表明了STU的加入有利于在硫化胶中形成了一个网格尺寸较大和更加不均匀交联键分布的结构.同时,XRD结果表明所有硫化胶的应变诱导结晶总结晶指数相同,即可以忽略其对力学性能的影响.力学性能结果表明添加了STU硫化胶的拉伸强度和断裂伸长达到了最大值,这主要是因为在外力作用下,较大网格尺寸和交联键稀疏区域有利于应力松弛,分散了应力集中,使得橡胶分子链和交联键稠密区的结晶束得到有效取向和松弛,提高了STU硫化胶的拉伸强度和断裂伸长.     

异戊橡胶微观序列结构与结晶性能研究

天然橡胶特有的应变诱导结晶能力赋予其优异的力学性能.异戊橡胶作为唯一能够替代天然橡胶的合成橡胶品种,其应变诱导结晶能力受到关注.本文对3种异戊橡胶的微观序列结构进行了分析,并研究了其结晶性能.核磁分析结果表明:3种异戊橡胶的顺-1,4-结构含量差别不大;从1,4-结构单元的键接方式(序列结构)看,SKI-5和YS-IR分子链中顺-1,4-结构单元均以头-尾相接的方式沿分子链排列,不存在头-头键和尾-尾键接方式;SKI-3中约有0.4%~0.5%的1,4-单元采取头-头键接方式,约有0.3%~0.6%的1,4-单元采取尾-尾键接方式;根据定量计算结果,从分子链上1,4-结构单元的序列分布来看,SKI-3的规整性与SKI-5、YS-IR相近或略高.XRD研究结果表明:炭黑填充的天然橡胶硫化胶拉伸至400%以上时发生取向结晶;而炭黑填充的异戊橡胶硫化胶需拉伸至500%以上时才发生取向结晶.基本物理机械性能研究表明:3种异戊橡胶的性能相当,拉伸强度和撕裂强度明显低于天然橡胶;由于结构和组成上的差异,异戊橡胶的结晶能力较天然橡胶差.     

拉伸温度对α’-型聚乳酸结构与性能的影响

α’-晶型聚乳酸(PLA)膜被制备和单轴拉伸.通过凝胶渗透色谱仪(GPC)、全反射红外光谱(ATR-IR)、差示扫描量热仪(DSC),X射线衍射(XRD)及Raman光谱等测试技术研究了拉伸温度梯度变化对α’-晶型PLA膜的分子量及其分布、分子链构象、结晶度、晶型转变和取向行为的影响.在恒定拉伸速度与应变下,拉伸温度对PLA膜的应力-应变曲线,特别是屈服强度、拉伸模量产生了较大的影响,其值随拉伸温度的增加而降低.GPC测试结果表明,在不同的温度下拉伸后,PLA会发生一定程度的降解,分子量降低;ATR-IR,XRD,DSC和Raman光谱测试结果表明,在不同的温度下拉伸后α’-型PLA没有发生晶型的转变,即没有由α’-晶体转变为α-或β-晶体.结果表明PLA的结晶度、分子链取向程度强烈依赖于拉伸温度:当拉伸温度低于100℃时,α’-型PLA膜的结晶度与沿着拉伸方向的变形程度随拉伸温度的增加而增加,分子链的高度取向诱导了PLA结晶;当拉伸温度超过100℃后,PLA的分子链沿着拉伸方向上的有序度与结晶度将降低.     

快压法制备非晶聚醚醚酮的应变诱导结晶行为

利用快速增压和淬火2种方法分别制备了非晶聚醚醚酮(PEEK), 并利用二维广角X射线衍射(WAXD)研究了2种非晶样品在不同拉伸温度(T_d)和不同应变速率(v)条件下的结晶行为. 结果表明, 在相同拉伸温度及应变速率条件下, 快压样品的临界结晶应变明显低于淬火样品; 随着拉伸温度和应变速率的升高, 2种样品的临界结晶应变均逐渐降低; 在相同应变条件下, 拉伸温度对PEEK材料结晶度的影响很大, 而应变速率对其影响较小.

剪切均匀性对流动诱导等规聚丙烯结晶的影响

固定应变和最终应变速率,采用瞬时和缓慢2种电机加速方式对样品施加剪切,研究了流场加载模式对样品流变和结晶行为的影响.实验结果显示缓慢加速能够消除剪切过程中流场的非均匀性,使样品取向度增加,提高流场对聚合物熔体的作用效果.同时,流动诱导结晶对于加速时间有依赖性.对于速率为17.7 s-1的剪切,加速时间为1 s时,熔体流动均匀且流动诱导的晶体取向最强,短加速时间(0.5 s)和长加速时间(1.5 s)样品的流动诱导结晶效果都弱于加速时间为1 s的样品.但是,对于不同剪切速率,其对应的最优加速时间不同.对于流动诱导结晶来说,加速时间应当作为一个重要参数来考虑,其背后的真实物理含义还需要进一步研究来说明.

复合应力场剪切诱导成型PP-R自增强管材的结构与性能研究

利用自行设计制造的剪切拉伸双向复合应力场挤管装置生产出了双向自增强的无规共聚聚丙烯(PP-R C180)管材,研究分析了该双向应力场的剪切诱导效应对PP-R C180管材的结晶熔融、取向和拉伸强度的影响.结果表明,剪切拉伸双向复合应力场的引入所带来的剪切诱导效应促进了PP-R C180分子有序性的增加,使PP-R C180体系分子更容易形成分别沿管材周向和轴向方向的取向,因而保持甚至提高了耐热性与结晶速率,降低了结晶度,改变了PP-R C180的结晶结构与形态,诱导出了全新的β晶,进而改善了管材的强度性能.与常规管材相比,自增强管材在保持其熔点不降低的前提下,使结晶度从常规管材的44.96%降至40.03%,降低了4.93%;轴向强度从常规管材的23.35 MPa最高增强到25.49 MPa,提高了9.2%;周向强度从常规管材的22.71 MPa最高增强到26.54 MPa,提高了16.9%,且增强之后管材的周向强度已经高于了轴向强度,更优化地配置了聚合物材料的性能,更充分地满足了受内压管材使用的现实需求.     

Features of crystallization behavior of natural rubber/halloysite nanotubes composites using synchrotron wide-angle X-ray scattering

The correlation between the mechanical strength and the crystallization behavior of natural rubber (NR)/halloysite nanotubes (HNT) composites is discussed. The tensile strength of NR is improved with the addition of HNT. This improvement is attributed to the unique structure of HNT, which facilitates good dispersion and strong interfacial interaction. HNT also play an important role in assisting the strain-induced crystallization of NR. Crystallization under strain is observed using synchrotron wide-angle X-ray scattering. The stress–strain curves and the corresponding degree of crystallinity after straining provide further evidence. Based on these analyses, a mechanistic model for strain-induced crystallization and the evolution of the orientation of the network structure is proposed.     

Rheo-optical Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy of polymers

Rheo-optical FTIR spectroscopy has been applied to monitor the onset, progress and decay of strain-induced crystallization in loading-unloading cycles of sulfur-crosslinked natural rubber at 300 K and 343 K. From the short-time spectroscopic data conclusions were also drawn with respect to the orientation of the average polymer and the polymer chains in the strain-induced crystal phase.     

Crystallization kinetics of biaxially stretched natural rubber

The isothermal crystallization of natural rubber was investigated under biaxial stretching. A marked planar orientation of crystals occurs in such a way that the (010) plane orients parallel to the film plane. The rate of crystallization increases with the biaxial stretching ratio, and the Avrami exponent n decreases. At the highest extension, n becomes less than unity. The equilibrium degree of crystallinity decreases with the stretching ratio. The crystallinity was less than 10% for the highest extension. The melting behavior is similar to that in uniaxial stretching.     

不同结晶速率的PET薄膜在拉伸过程中的结晶与取向

用多种方法对两个结晶速率不同的PET样品在拉伸过程中的结晶和取向进行了研究。结果表明在同样的拉伸条件下,结晶速率较快的样品的结晶度和取向程度均比另一样品要高得多,这种结构变化上的差别说明把拉伸行为的差别归因于结晶速率的不同是合理的。     

Orientation of the α- and γ-modification of elastic polypropylene at uniaxial stretching

New metallocene catalysts applied to propylene polymerization expand the range of properties of polypropylene (PP), resulting in semi-crystalline materials having crystallinities below 60% up to X-ray amorphous highly elastic ones. To date the origin of the unique elastic mechanical behavior of such low crystalline PP is not completely understood. Therefore, the microscopic orientation of those PPs due to uniaxial stretching was investigated using wide-(WAXS) and small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS). The aim of this study was to correlate these orientations or changes in the developed fiber textures with the macroscopic stress-strain behavior. This includes efforts to come closer to the main question of the nature of the physical cross-links in these not chemical cross-linked homopolymers, which is the reason for the high elastic behavior. Therefore, high molecular weight metallocene PPs showing different crystallinities (0-36%) were stretched to several elongations and the structural changes during the deformation were recorded by X-ray scattering. Stress-strain measurements show the great potential of these PPs as a thermoplastic rubber material. For quantitative analysis and discussion of the polymer chain orientations, the orientation functions were calculated. Correlations between the orientation functions and the stress-strain curves allow an interpretation of the macroscopic behavior on a microscopic scale. A higher cross-linking density in elongated samples indicates that the network, which is responsible for the elasticity, mainly built up by strain-induced morphology changes and chain orientations.     

碳纳米管改性聚苯硫醚熔纺纤维的结构与性能研究

将多壁碳纳米管(MWCNTs)和聚苯硫醚(PPS)经过熔融挤出后制备成复合材料切片,并采用熔融纺丝法制得碳纳米管改性聚苯硫醚复合纤维.采用扫描电镜(SEM)、拉曼光谱、示差扫描量热分析(DSC)、动态机械分析(DMA)以及力学性能测试等表征手段研究了复合纤维中碳管的分散状态,与基体的界面作用,复合纤维的结晶性能以及力学性能,从而探讨了聚苯硫醚/碳纳米管复合纤维体系的微观结构与宏观性能之间的关系.研究表明,聚苯硫醚分子结构与碳纳米管之间具有的π-π共轭作用使碳管较为均匀的分散在基体中,界面结合较为紧密.同时熔融纺丝过程中的拉伸作用使碳管进一步解缠并使碳管沿纤维拉伸方向取向.另一方面,拉曼光谱显示拉伸作用有效地增强了界面作用,有利于外界应力的传递.碳管的良好分散以及强的界面作用使复合纤维力学性能得到大幅度的提高,当碳管含量达到5 wt%时,复合纤维的模量有了明显的提高,拉伸强度较纯PPS纤维提高了近220%.     

MULTIPLE MELTING TRANSITIONS IN POLYURETHANE-UREA ELASTOMERS UNDER EXTENSION

Two melting transitions were observed in linear segmented polyurethane-urea elastomers underextension using thermal, mechanical and X-ray diffraction techniques, and the results are compared.These data indicate both strain-induced and temperature-induced crystallization in the stretchedclastomers, which may result from two different types of crystallites with different melting tempera-tures. These have been assigned as type 1 appearing around 60℃, and type 2 around 30℃. Thetype 1 crystallization can be induced by stretching at room temperature to large strain, and is mechani-cally reversible, but the type 2 crystallization is mainly induced by cooling below its crystallizationtemperature. These two crystalline structures are interchangeable under suitable conditions. Atelongations greater than 300%, the low temperature peak observed on fusion thermograms disappearsor combines with the high temperature peak. When the temperature of the sample is over the meltingpoint of the type 1 crystal, irreversible melting occurs and only the type 2 crystal develops on cooling.The results of stress-strain and stress hysteresis experiments at different temperatures indicate therelative importance of strain-induced and temperature-induced crystallization on the mechanicalproperties of these materials.
