钴系丁二烯苯乙烯共聚合及共聚物序列结构的研究

<正> 高顺式丁苯胶的合成研究已有二、三十年的历史。除了存在共聚物的苯乙烯结合量偏低以及混有一定量的均聚苯乙烯等问题外,共聚物分子链上各结构单元偏离无规分布可能是一个重要原因。 1983年古川淳二等曾用C-NMR方法对镍系高顺式丁苯共聚物分子链上顺-1,4(C)、反-1,4(T)、1,2结构(V)、苯乙烯(St)四种结构单元的键接几率做过分析。例如,     

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.     

原位接枝炭黑/天然橡胶复合材料的制备及性能

采用原位固相接枝方法,使在高温和强剪切作用下降解的天然橡胶接枝到炭黑表面.通过对接枝前后炭黑填充天然橡胶的性能对比发现,原位接枝炭黑不但能提高天然橡胶的硫化速度,还能提高拉伸强度,定伸应力和撕裂强度等;动态力学性能的测试结果表明接枝炭黑填充的天然橡胶中接枝炭黑网络化程度较低,这些结果主要归因于接枝炭黑在橡胶基体中分散性的改善及炭黑与橡胶之间作用力的增加.     

~(13)C-NMR研究3,4-聚异戊二烯的序列分布

Fe(acac)_3-Phen-AlEt_3 催化体系可使异戊二烯聚合成以 3,4-链节为主具有一定结晶性能的聚异戊二烯。本文对该聚合物的~(13)C-NMR 谱进行了全分析,研究了序列分布、微观结构。结果表明不同方法求得的微观结构含量很好地一致,说明对~(13)C-NMR 谱峰归属的正确性。并指出顺-1,4/3,4-序列中存在着头-头,尾-尾的连接方式,3,4-嵌段链节不足够长及存在反节可能是结晶度不太高的主要原因。     

天然橡胶在单向拉伸下的结晶与取向

<正> 从研究聚乙烯由球晶结构转变到纤维结构的过程得知,聚乙烯纤维由一束平行排列的细纤维(microfibril)组成,细纤维则由垂直于纤维轴互相平行排列的折迭链块(foldedchain block)组成,折迭链块之间有链段相连.处于高弹态的天然橡胶(-78°—28℃),进行单向拉伸,可发生取向并同时结晶,形成纤维,但是它与聚乙烯的起始态不同,为阐明天然橡胶拉伸后是否也有类似聚乙烯纤维的结构单元,本文采用透射式电子     

稀土高顺式聚丁二烯等温结晶动力学及结晶形态的研究

通过稀土催化丁二烯配位聚合制备了一系列不同分子量、分子量分布及顺-1,4结构含量的稀土高顺式聚丁二烯(cis-PB),采用扫描示差量热仪法(DSC)研究了cis-PB在-18~-27℃范围内等温结晶过程,采用配有在线冷热台的偏光显微镜(POM)观测结晶形态.结果表明,在cis-PB等温结晶过程中,Avrami指数(n)在2.0~3.0之间,呈现三维球晶的生长方式,与微观结构参数及结晶温度无关,但其球晶尺寸与微观结构有关,并随着顺-1,4结构含量升高而增大;当顺-1,4结构含量小于98.4%时,半结晶期(t1/2)随其含量增加而缩短,结晶速率加快,但若其含量继续增加至99.0%左右时,结晶速率反而有所降低;若同时提高聚合物分子量及顺-1,4结构含量或者在分子量及顺-1,4结构含量相近的前提下使分子量分布变窄,均有利于提高结晶速率;随顺-1,4结构含量增加,过冷度(ΔT)增加,结晶驱动力增大;结晶活化能(ΔE)为负值,降低结晶温度有利于提高结晶速率,当顺-1,4结构含量大于98.2%时,ΔE值接近(~-137 k J/mol),结晶速率对温度的依赖程度相近.     

硫化天然橡胶的本征自修复与固相回收加工

通过小分子模拟试验和应力松弛,发现甲基丙烯酸铜(MA-Cu)比氯化铜(CuCl_2)更适合用作硫化天然橡胶中二硫键交换反应催化剂,并且硫化天然橡胶中的二硫键交换反应需要在高于120°C的温度下才能高效进行,这保障了相关制品在较低温工作时的结构与性能稳定.进一步的实验结果表明,硫化天然橡胶在MA-Cu辅助作用下获得了多次自修复与固相回收加工性能,损伤自修复后的硫化天然橡胶与固相回收加工的再生硫化天然橡胶,其拉伸强度均可恢复到原始材料强度的80%左右.

基于天甲橡胶的高性能生物基弹性体制备及性能研究

天甲橡胶(MGNR)是生物基高分子材料天然橡胶(NR)的一种改性产品,较高的门尼黏度导致MGNR作为橡胶制品主要成分的研究鲜见报道.本文将极性的MGNR与非极性的NR并用,NR分子链较高的柔顺性使MGNR的门尼黏度得到有效降低,改善了MGNR的加工性能.进而添加表面具有硅羟基的气相法白炭黑,一方面,白炭黑与MGNR、NR形成结合胶;另一方面,白炭黑表面的硅羟基与MGNR的侧链甲基丙烯酸甲酯形成较强的相互作用,白炭黑作为"桥梁"改善了MGNR与NR之间的相容性.随着白炭黑含量的提高,MGNR/NR(40/60)硫化胶的拉伸强度与断裂伸长率均逐渐增大.当白炭黑的填充量为10 phr时,硫化胶的拉伸强度为31.2 MPa,断裂伸长率为605%.相比于未填充白炭黑的硫化胶分别提高了42.4%和28.9%,相比于纯MGNR分别提高了55.2%和93.9%.     

Mechanical characteristics of hydrogenated natural rubber vulcanizates

Mechanical properties of partially hydrogenated natural rubber (HNR) vulcanizates were evaluated regarding their chemical structure and crystallizable nature of HNR, and are reported here, to the best of our knowledge, for the first time. HNRs of three levels of hydrogenation (20.6, 29.0, and 40.6 mol%) were successfully prepared by the chemical modification of natural rubber (NR) latex using N₂H₄ and H₂O₂ as reagents, in a sufficient amount for preparing sulfur‐crosslinked samples to be subjected to mechanical and structural measurements. The three HNR vulcanizates were found to be crystallizable upon stretching; it is noted that even 40.6 mol% hydrogenation did not prevent HNR vulcanizates from crystallization upon stretching, while their onset strain of crystallization was higher than that of NR vulcanizate. The hysteresis loss and residual strain up to a stretching ratio of 2 for the HNR vulcanizates tended to become larger with the increase in the degree of the hydrogenation. Tensile and dynamic mechanical properties of 20.6 mol% hydrogenated HNR vulcanizate were comparable to those of NR vulcanizate. From differential scanning calorimetry and temperature dispersion of dynamic modulus or loss, the glass transition temperatures of HNR vulcanizates were found to be almost the same as that of NR vulcanizate, which is also notable. The thermal stability of HNR vulcanizates was better than that of NR vulcanizate. Thus, this chemical modification seems to give a promising NR derivative whose properties can be equivalent or even better than the mother polymer. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

The Relationship between Pendant Phosphate Groups and Mechanical Properties of Polyisoprene Rubber

It is still a great challenge to mimic the structure and function of natural rubber by introducing polar components into synthetic polyisoprene. In order to explore the function of phosphate groups on the mechanical properties of polyisoprene rubber, a terminally functionalized compound(PIP-P) containing phosphate groups was synthesized and further vulcanized to prepare the model compound V-PIP-P.Through analyzing the test results, it was found that these phosphate groups formed polar aggregates in non-polar polyisoprene rubber matrix,serving as an additional dynamic cross-linking sites, which increases the cross-linking density and improves mechanical properties. The influence of the phosphate groups on the strain-induced crystallization(SIC) was further investigated via synchrotron wide-angle X-ray diffraction(WAXD)experiment. These phosphate group aggregates not only reduced the onset strain of SIC, but also slowed down the molecular chain mobility,which hinder the crystal lateral growth. The above results help us to gain a deeper understanding for the function of phosphate groups in the formation of "naturally occurring network" and guide the molecular design of next generation polyisoprene rubber.

Effect of mineral fillers on thermal properties and flammability ofcis-1,4-polyisoprene vulcanizates

The effect of mineral fillers such as Ultrasil VN-3, Ze?O?Sil P-45, Aerosil 200, Frantex 8, Kaolin and precipitated calcium carbonate on the thermal properties sulphur vulcanizates ofcis-1,4-polyisoprene were studied by means of thermal analysis. It was found that the addition of a mineral filler did not change the nature of the thermal processes in isoprene vulcanizates essentially, but it distinctly affected the positions of the peaks recorded in the DTA curves. The mineral fillers affected the temperatures and rates of degradation and destruction of polyisoprene cross-linked with sulphur. The presence of a mineral filler brought about a decrease in the flammability ofcis-1,4-polyisoprene sulphur vulcanizates.     

Structural developments in synthetic rubbers during uniaxial deformation by in situ synchrotron X‐ray diffraction

The molecular orientation and strain‐induced crystallization of synthetic rubbers—polyisoprene rubber, polybutadiene rubber, and butyl rubber [poly(isobutylene isoprene)]—during uniaxial deformation were studied with in situ synchrotron wide‐angle X‐ray diffraction. The high intensity of the synchrotron X‐rays and the new data analysis method made it possible to estimate the mass fractions of the strain‐induced crystals and amorphous chain segments in both the oriented and unoriented states. Contrary to the conventional concept, the majority of the molecules (50–75%) remained in an unoriented amorphous state at high strains. Each synthetic rubber showed a different behavior of strain‐induced crystallization and molecular orientation during extension and retraction. Our results confirmed the occurence of strain‐induced networks in the synthetic rubbers due to the inhomogeneity of the crosslink distribution. The strain‐induced networks containing microfibrillar crystals and oriented amorphous tie chains were responsible for the ultimate mechanical properties. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Effects of Binding Energy of Bioinspired Sacrificial Bond on Mechanical Performance of cis-1,4-Polyisoprene with Dual-crosslink

Although bioinspired sacrificial bonds have been demonstrated to be efficient in improving the mechanical properties of polymer materials, the effect of binding energy of a specific dynamic bond on the ultimate mechanical performance of a polymer network with dual-crosslink remains unclear. In this contribution, diamine and sulfur curing package are introduced simultaneously into a sulfonated cis-1,4-polyisoprene to create dually-crosslinked cis-1,4-polyisoprene network with sulfonate-aminium ionic bonds as the sacrificial bonds. Three diamines(primary, secondary and tertiary) with the same spacer between the two nitrogen atoms are used to create the ionic bonds with different binding energies. Although the binding energy of ionic bond does not affect the glass transition temperature of cis-1,4-polyisoprene(IR), it exerts definite influences on strain-induced crystallization and mechanical performance. The capabilities of diamine in dissipating energy, promoting strain-induced crystallization and enhancing the mechanical performance are in the same order of secondary diamine primary diamine tertiary diamine. The variations in mechanical performances are correlated to the binding energy of the ionic bond, which is determined by p Ka values.     

TBIR应用于航空胎侧胶的热氧老化性能

研究了反式-1,4-丁二烯-异戊二烯共聚橡胶(TBIR)应用于航空轮胎胎侧胶[天然橡胶(NR)/顺丁橡胶(BR)/TBIR]的耐热氧老化性能. 结果表明, 与NR/BR硫化胶相比, 10~20份质量的TBIR取代BR后, NR/BR/TBIR硫化胶的交联密度明显提高, 压缩温升降低2.2~3.4 ℃, 耐屈挠疲劳性能提高约100%, 填料分散性改善, 填料团聚体体尺寸减小, 拉伸性能基本不变. 随热氧老化时间延长, 硫化胶的交联密度先增加后降低, 并用TBIR的硫化胶交联密度在老化48 h后趋于平缓. 与NR/BR相比, 老化后的NR/BR/TBIR硫化胶生热最低, 耐屈挠疲劳性最高.     

Effect of carbon black on the thermal properties and flammability of cis-1,4-polyisoprene vulcanizates

The effect of carbon black with various particle sizes and specific surfaces on the thermal properties of the sulphur vulcanizates ofcis-1,4-polyisoprene was studied by means of thermal analysis. It was found that the addition of carbon black does not change the nature of the thermal processes in isoprene rubber vulcanizates essentially, but it distincly affects the positions of the peaks recorded in the DTA curves. The specific surface of carbon black affects the temperature of the first exothermic process and the temperature and rate of destruction of cross-linked polyisoprene. The presence of carbon black brings about a reduction in the flammability ofcis-1,4-polyisoprene vulcanizates. The specific surface of carbon black influences the value of the oxygen index OI.

Zusammenfassung Mittels Thermoanalyse wurde der Einfluß von Ruß mit unterschiedlicher Partikelgröße und unterschiedlicher spezifischer Oberfläche auf die thermischen Eigenschaften von Schwefelvulkanisaten von cis-1,4-Polyisopren untersucht. Es wurde festgestellt, daß die Zugabe von Ruß die thermischen Vorgänge in Isoprengummivulkanisaten nicht wesentlich verändert, daß jedoch die Lage der in den DTA-Kurven aufgezeichneten Peaks eindeutig beeinflußt wird. Die spezifische Oberfläche von Ruß beeinflußt die Temperatur des ersten exothermen Vorganges sowie Temperatur und Geschwindigkeit von Abbau des vernetzten Polyisoprenes. Die Gegenwart von Ruß führt eine Verminderung der Entflammbarkeit voncis-1,4-Polyisopren-Vulkanisaten herbei. Die spezifische Oberfläche von Ruß beeinflußt den Wert der Sauerstoffzahl.

     

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.
