EPDM受热氧化与动态流变行为

采用动态流变学方法研究了三元乙丙橡胶(EPDM)高温氧化与动态粘弹响应之间的关系.在熔体状态下,EPDM的动态粘弹行为随温度升高而改变,呈现出非均相结构的流变响应特征;加入复合抗氧剂后,EPDM在一定的时间范围内,呈现均相体系的流变响应特征.这些结果表明,流变响应特征的改变与受热导致EPDM熔体氧化进而引起结构的改变密切相关.低频区域粘弹函数对EPDM结构变化具有敏感响应,2 0 0～2 2 0℃可明显观察到受热氧化导致EPDM结构的生成.     

HDPE/石墨复合体系动态粘弹行为与Mooney方程改进

由于小应变条件下,动态流变行为的测定不会对材料本身的结构造成影响或破坏,动态流变研究被认为是表征填充类聚合物体系填料颗粒的分散状态的有效方法[1～3].众所周知,窄分子量分布的均相聚合物体系在低频率(ω)区域的粘弹行为满足线性粘弹关系,而填充类聚合物基复合材料的流变行为表现出特殊的粘弹特征[4～8],即在低ω区域显示出非线性粘弹行为的特殊响应.特别是所谓的"第二平台(second plateau)"现象,被认为与体系形态结构密切相关[9].     

HDPE/PA6反应增容体系的形态演化与黏弹行为

采用扫描电子显微镜(SEM)与先进流变扩展系统(ARES),研究了马来酸酐接枝高密度聚乙烯(HDPE-g-MAH)对高密度聚乙烯/尼龙6(HDPE/PA6)共混体系形态结构和黏弹行为的影响.发现HDPE-g-MAH的加入可原位生成尼龙6-高密度聚乙烯接枝共聚物(HDPE-g-PA6),使基体与分散相间的相容性显著改善,且随其添加量的增加两者相容性更好,导致HDPE/PA6体系形态结构变化.研究结果表明,由ARES获得的体系黏弹行为参数随HDPE-g-MAH含量的变化可与由SEM所观察到的微观形貌演化很好关联,动态流变学方法可敏感表征增容剂的加入所引起的HDPE/PA6界面性质变化,且能够反映分子链间相互作用的变化及由此导致的分散相颗粒网络的形成.

多组分聚合物体系的动态流变行为与其相行为的关系

对多组分聚合物体系相行为所采用的常规研究方法都存在不可避免的缺陷。而用动态流变学方法研究具有独特的优点,其理论依据是：对具有临界相行为(LCST、UCST)或微相分离行为的多组分聚合物体系,在小应变状态下的动态流变行为对体系在相分离过程中形态和结构的形成与演化极其敏感,非均相结构的产生使体系在长时松弛区域表现出与均相聚合物体系不同的粘弹松弛行为,即弹性显著增加、松弛时问明显增长以及时-温叠加原理失效,偏离经典的线性粘弹理论模型。本文综述了用Han曲线、Cole-Cole曲线、时-温叠加失效和G′-T曲线等动态流变学方法对多组分聚合物体系相行为的研究进展。

Studies of modification of HDPE and interfacial interaction of its composites with sericite

Ultraviolet irradiation, which is environment friendly and without any chemical pollution, was used to functionalize high‐density polyethylene (HDPE) and to improve the interfacial interaction of its composites with sericite in this study. The oxygen‐containing groups of C?O, C‐O, and C(?O)O were quickly introduced onto molecular chains of HDPE by ultraviolet irradiation in ozone atmosphere and the contents of the introduced oxygen‐containing groups increased with increasing the modification time. It is important to note that the irradiation time greatly decreased compared to that in air or oxygen atmosphere. After modification, the molecular weight of the irradiated HDPE decreased and its distribution became wider. The irradiated HDPE in ozone was not crosslinked, which is an advantage over the same reaction in air or oxygen atmosphere. With increasing the irradiation time, the melting temperature of the irradiated HDPE lightly decreased, while its crystallinity, hydrophilicity, and fluidity increased. The composites of HDPE/sericite were prepared. The results showed that the dispersion of sericite in the matrix and the interfacial interaction of sericite with the matrix were markedly improved for the irradiated HDPE/sericite composites. As a result, the irradiated HDPE/sericite composites showed significantly increased tensile yield strength and notched impact strength. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Effect of compounding procedure on morphology and crystallization behavior of isotactic polypropylene/high‐density polyethylene/carbon black ternary composites

The effect of compounding procedure on morphology and crystallization behavior of isotactic polypropylene/high‐density polyethylene/carbon black (iPP/HDPE/CB) composite was investigated. iPP/HDPE/CB composites were prepared by four compounding procedures (A: iPP + HDPE + CB; B: iPP/HDPE + CB; C: HDPE/CB + iPP; D: iPP/CB + HDPE). Scanning electron microscopy observation showed that CB particles are mainly distributed in HDPE in all composites, and the phase morphology of composites was obviously affected by a compounding procedure. The size of the HDPE/CB domains in the composites prepared by procedures A and D decreased with the increase in CB content, whereas that of HDPE/CB in the composites prepared by procedures B and C rarely changed with the increase in CB content. The crystallization behaviors of the composites were significantly affected by their phase morphology, which resulted from the variation of compounding procedure. The isothermal crystallization rate of iPP in the composites prepared by procedures A and D was obviously increased, which may originate from the small HDPE/CB droplets dispersed in the iPP phase. The non‐isothermal crystallization curves of composites prepared by procedure D represented two peaks because the iPP component in these composites had the fastest crystallization rate, whereas the curves of composites prepared by other compounding sequences only exhibited one peak. Moreover, the crystallinity of HDPE almost increased by one time with the incorporation of only 1 phr CB because the CB particles selectively located in the HDPE phase, and the crystallinity of HDPE decreased with the further increase of CB content because of the strong restriction of CB on the HDPE chains.

Preparation of optical active single-handed helical barium titanate nanotubes and characterization of dielectric properties

Left and right-handed helical barium titanate nanotubes are prepared with the impregnation of Ba(OH)_2 into single-handed helical titania nanotubes.Wide angle X-ray diffraction pattern and transmission electron microscopy image indicate that they are constructed by nanoparticles with a partially crystalline structure.The diffuse reflertance circular dichroism spectra indicate that they exhibit optical activity which was proposed to originate from chiral defects on the inner surfaces of the nanotubes.Both the dielectric constant and tanδ decrease with increasing the frequency.At 10 and 100 Hz,one dielectric constant peak at 9.6℃ and one tanδ peak at 5.0℃ are observed at -120℃ to 180℃.     

Thermal analysis of the double-melting behavior of poly(L-lactic acid)

The melting and crystallization behavior of poly(L -lactic acid) (PLLA; weight-average molecular weight = 3 × 10⁵) was studied with differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). DSC curves for PLLA samples were obtained at various cooling rates (CRs) from the melt (210 °C). The peak crystallization temperature and the exothermic heat of crystallization determined from the DSC curve decreased almost linearly with increasing log(CR). DSC melting curves for the melt-crystallized samples were obtained at various heating rates (HRs). The double-melting behavior was confirmed by the double endothermic peaks, a high-temperature peak (H) and a low-temperature peak (L), that appeared in the DSC curves at slow HRs for the samples prepared with a slow CR. Peak L increased with increasing HR, whereas peak H decreased. The peak melting temperatures of L and H [T_m(L) and T_m(H)] decreased linearly with log(HR). The appearance region of the double-melting peaks (L and H) was illustrated in a CR–HR map. Peak L decreased with increasing CR, whereas peak H increased. T_m(L) and T_m(H) decreased almost linearly with log(CR). The characteristics of the crystallization and double-melting behavior were explained by the slow rates of crystallization and recrystallization, respectively. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Multiple melting behavior of poly(butylene succinate). I. Thermal analysis of melt‐crystallized samples

The multiple melting behavior of poly(butylene succinate) (PBSu) was studied with differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Three different PBSu resins, with molecular weights of 1.1 × 10⁵, 1.8 × 10⁵, and 2.5 × 10⁵, were cooled from the melt (150 °C) at various cooling rates (CRs) ranging from 0.2 to 50 K min^?1. The peak crystallization temperature (T_c) of the DSC curve in the cooling process decreased almost linearly with the logarithm of the CR. DSC melting curves for the melt‐crystallized samples were obtained at 10 K min^?1. Double endothermic peaks, a high‐temperature peak H and a low‐temperature peak L, and an exothermic peak located between them appeared. Peak L decreased with increasing CR, whereas peak H increased. An endothermic shoulder peak appeared at the lower temperature of peak H. The CR dependence of the peak melting temperatures [T_m(L) and T_m(H)], recrystallization temperature (T_re), and heat of fusion (ΔH) was obtained. Their fitting curves were obtained as functions of log(CR). T_m(L), T_re, and ΔH decreased almost linearly with log(CR), whereas T_m(H) was almost constant. Peak H decreased with the molecular weight, whereas peak L increased. It was suggested that the rate of the recrystallization decreased with the molecular weight. T_m(L), T_m(H), T_re, and T_c for the lowest molecular weight sample were lower than those for the others. In contrast, ΔH for the highest molecular weight sample was lower than that for the others. If the molecular weight dependence of the melting temperature for PBSu is similar to that for polyethylene, the results for the molecular weight dependence of PBSu can be explained. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Influence of fullerene on the kinetics of thermal and thermo-oxidative degradation of high-density polyethylene by capturing free radicals

The influence of fullerene (C₆₀) on the thermal and thermal-oxidative degradation of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) was studied using non-isothermal thermogravimetric analysis under nitrogen (N₂) and air atmosphere. Kinetic parameters of the degradation were evaluated using the Flynn–Wall–Ozawa method, which does not require the knowledge of the reaction mechanism. The results showed that the addition of C₆₀ enhanced the thermal stability of HDPE and increased the activation energy both in N₂ and air atmosphere and especially affected the initial stage of degradation. In N₂, C₆₀-trapped carbon-centered radical originated from the degradation of HDPE to improve the thermal stability and increase the activation energy. While in air, C₆₀ trapped the alkyl radicals and alkyl peroxide radicals to inhibit the hydrogen abstraction (especially the initial stage of thermo-oxidative degradation) and form more stable species, which improved the thermal stability and increased the activation energy during the thermal degradation of HDPE. Comparing with that of pure HDPE, the changes of activation energy for HDPE/C₆₀ nanocomposites were higher in air than in N₂, especially in the initial stage.     

Thermoplastic elastomer based on high‐density polyethylene/natural rubber blends: rheological,thermal, and morphological properties

Thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) comprising air‐dried sheet or natural rubber (ADS or NR) and high‐density polyethylene (HDPE) was prepared by a simple blending technique. NR and HDPE were mixed with each type of phenolic compatibilizer (HRJ‐10518 or SP‐1045) or liquid natural rubber (LNR) at 180°C in an internal mixer. The mixing torque, shear stress, and shear viscosity of the blends increased with increasing amounts of NR. Positive deviation blend (PDB) for the blends containing active hydroxyl methyl phenolic resin in HRJ‐10518 or dimethyl phenolic resin in SP‐1045 was obtained. PDB was not observed for the blends without the compatibilizers or with LNR. The blends with HRJ‐10518 or SP‐1045 were compatible or partially compatible while the LNR blends were incompatible. In the phenolic compatibilized blends, NR dispersed in the HDPE matrix was found in the NR/HDPE blends of 20/80, 40/60, and 50/50 ratios. HDPE dispersed in NR matrix was obtained in the NR/HDPE blend of 80/20 ratio, and the co‐continuous phase was accomplished in the NR/HDPE blend of 60/40 ratio. The NR/HDPE blend at 60/40 ratio compatibilized with HRJ‐10518 and fabricated by a simple plastic injection molding machine exhibited higher ultimate tensile strength and elongation at break (EB). Incorporation of parafinic oil caused a decreasing tendency in tensile strength with increases in EB. The TPNRs exhibited high elastomeric nature with low‐tension set.
