聚左旋乳酸/聚消旋乳酸共混物的结晶行为

非晶态聚消旋乳酸(PDLLA)对PLLA的结晶行为有较大的影响。本文利用差示扫描量热仪(DSC)和偏光显微镜(POM)对不同分子量PLLA、PDLLA按不同比例制得的共混物结晶进行了系统研究。结果表明随PDLLA含量的增大PLLA冷结晶温度升高,且越接近熔融温度。PDLLA分子量较小时PLLA球晶特征被明显破坏,PDLLA分子量较大时PLLA更易形保持球晶特征且易形成环带球晶形貌,这与结晶速率与非晶组分的扩散速率匹配程度有关。低分子量的PDLLA使PLLA的最大生长速率对应的温度出现在较低温度。

聚己内酯/纳米二氧化硅复合体系环带球晶形貌及结晶行为研究

采用溶液浇铸的方法制备了聚己内酯(PCL)/疏水性纳米二氧化硅(R974)复合体系薄膜,利用偏光显微镜、差示扫描量热仪、扫描电镜等研究了R974对PCL环带球晶形貌及结晶行为的影响,并从微观层次探讨了PCL/R974环带球晶可能的形成机理。结果表明,PCL/R974环带球晶是由扭转生长的片晶构成。R974的加入可诱导PCL环带球晶的形成,拓宽环带球晶形成温度。R974含量越高,PCL形成环带温度越低,环带周期越小,环带结构越规整。等温结晶时,R974加入并未改变PCL异相成核机理,但会影响其结晶动力学。当R974含量≤4%(wt)时,其异相成核作用占主导,促进了PCL结晶过程;当R974含量4%(wt)时,其对于球晶生长的阻碍大于异相成核作用,最终抑制了PCL的结晶。     

利用光学显微镜研究溶剂诱导的梯形苯基聚倍半硅氧烷结晶

通过溶剂诱导结晶的方法研究了梯形苯基聚倍半硅氧烷(PPSQ)的球晶结构. 采用光学显微镜研究了溶液的浓度、溶剂的挥发时间以及温度等影响因素对梯形苯基聚倍半硅氧烷的球晶结构形貌的影响. 实验结果表明:稀释溶液浓度与提高结晶温度在改变球晶的形态方面具有相同的效果. 球晶的尺寸会随着溶液浓度的降低或者结晶温度的升高而增加. 这都归因于梯形苯基聚倍半硅氧烷在二甲苯中的溶解度的增加. 在不改变其它结晶条件的情况下,延长溶剂的挥发时间也会形成更大的球晶. 当在光学显微镜下旋转样品时球晶的结构不会发生改变,这表明球晶具有均一的晶体学取向结构. 负性球晶的特征也表明梯形苯基聚倍半硅氧烷的分子链是沿着球晶的切线方向排列. 考虑到梯形苯基聚倍半硅氧烷具有刚性的分子链,还提出了梯形苯基聚倍半硅氧烷可能的球晶结构模型.

利用原子力显微镜(AFM)的轻敲模式, 研究了聚 e-己内酯/聚氯乙烯(PCL/ PVC)(质量比90︰10)共混体系形成的环带球晶的表面形态和片晶结构. PCL/PVC环带球晶的表面由周期性高低起伏的环状结构组成, 其凸凹起伏的周期与球晶在偏光显微镜下的明暗交替的周期相对应. 这种周期性的凸凹起伏和明暗交替消光的原因是由不同取向的片晶交替排列造成的, 片晶在凹下环带区域的排列主要是Flat-on取向, 而凸起环带区域的片晶排列主要是Edge-on取向. 同时用原子力显微镜原位观察了PHB-co-HHx共聚物环带球晶生长时片晶的动态扭转过程, 初步的研究结果发现片晶的扭转不是均匀连续的, 而是出现在相对较窄的区域.

Crystallization and morphology of poly(vinylidene fluoride)/poly(3‐hydroxybutyrate) blends. I. Spherulitic morphology and growth by polarized microscopy

The development of the poly(3‐hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) morphology in the presence of already existent poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) spherulites was studied by two‐stage solidification with two separate crystallization temperatures. PVDF formed irregular dendrites at lower temperatures and regular, banded spherulites at elevated temperatures. The transition temperature of the spherulitic morphology from dendrites to regular, banded spherulites increased with increasing PVDF content. A remarkable amount of PHB was included in the PVDF dendrites, whereas PHB was rejected into the remaining melt from the banded spherulites. When PVDF crystallized as banded spherulites, PHB could consequently crystallize only around them, if at all. In contrast, PHB crystallized with a common growth front, starting from a defined site in the interfibrillar regions of volume‐filling PVDF dendrites. It formed by itself dendritic spherulites that included a large number of PVDF spherulites. For blends with a PHB content of more than 80 wt %, for which the PVDF dendrites were not volume‐filling, PHB first formed regular spherulites. Their growth started from outside the PVDF dendrites but could later interpenetrate them, and this made their own morphology dendritic. These PHB spherulites melted stepwise because the lamellae inside the PVDF dendrites melted at a lower temperature than those from outside. This reflected the regularity of the two fractions of the lamellae because that of those inside the dendrites of PVDF was controlled by the intraspherulitic order of PVDF, whereas that from outside was only controlled by the temperature and the melt composition. The described morphologies developed without mutual nucleating efficiency of the components. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Polym Sci Part B: Polym Phys 41: 873–882, 2003     

Rhythmic growth of ring‐banded spherulites in blends of liquid crystalline methoxy‐poly(aryl ether ketone) and poly(aryl ether ether ketone)

Rhythmic growth of ring‐banded spherulites in blends of liquid crystalline methoxy‐poly(aryl ether ketone) (M‐PAEK) and poly(aryl ether ether ketone) (PEEK) has been investigated by means of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), polarized light microscopy (PLM), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) techniques. The measurements reveal that the formation of the rhythmically grown ring‐banded spherulites in the M‐PAEK/PEEK blends is strongly dependent on the blend composition. In the M‐PAEK‐rich blends, upon cooling, an unusual ring‐banded spherulite is formed, which is ascribed to structural discontinuity caused by a rhythmic radial growth. For the 50:50 M‐PAEK/PEEK blend, ring‐banded spherulites and individual PEEK spherulites coexist in the system. In the blends with PEEK as the predominant component, M‐PAEK is rejected into the boundary of PEEK spherulites. The cooling rate and crystallization temperature have great effect on the phase behavior, especially the ring‐banded spherulite formation in the blends. In addition, the effects of M‐PAEK phase transition rate and phase separation rate on banded spherulite formation is discussed. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Formation of new banded spherulites in polyimides

The crystalline morphology and structural development of aromatic polyimides during an optimum continuous thermal imidization procedure were examined by means of polarized optical microscopy and X‐ray diffraction. During thermal imidization, 3,3′,4,4′‐benzophenonetetracarboxylic dianhydride/1,3‐diaminobenzene polyimide samples formed complicated spherulites, which, in addition to zigzag Maltese crosses, also showed concentric extinction rings, which are characteristic of banded spherulites. The factors affecting the formation of banded spherulites were studied. The initial imidization conditions dramatically affected the formation of the banded spherulite morphology: slow heating (0.5 °C/min) or fast heating (20 °C/min) led to relatively small polyimide spherulites and less identifiable extinction rings. The morphological features were also affected by the molecular weight of the polyimide: higher molecular weight samples showed typical banded spherulites, whereas low‐molecular‐weight samples formed degenerated banded spherulites. In all the spherulites formed in 3,3′,4,4′‐benzophenonetetracarboxylic dianhydride/1,3‐diaminobenzene polyimides, special zigzag Maltese crosses, instead of normal Maltese crosses, were observed. The relationship between the imidization procedure and the spherulite morphology formation was also studied. X‐ray and Fourier transform infrared together revealed that after several minutes of thermal treatment, the crystallization was nearly complete, with a 42.5% degree of crystallinity; meanwhile, only some poly(amic acid) converted to the corresponding polyimide, with a 27% degree of imidization. The crystalline morphology and structure formed in the initial stage of the imidization process were maintained during the following imidization processing at an elevated temperature. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Morphology and interference color in spherulite of poly(trimethylene terephthalate) copolyester with bulky linking pendent group

A novel phosphorus-containing copolyester (PTTP), poly(trimethylene terephthalate) (PTT) copolyester with a bulky linking pendent group of 9,10-dihydro-10-[2,3-di(hydroxycarbonyl) propyl]-10-phosphaphenanthrene-10-oxide (DDP) was prepared, and its crystallization, crystal morphology and interference color were investigated in this article for the first time. Differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) results showed that with the increase of DDP content, the melting point (T(m)) and crystallization ability of PTTP decreased. WAXD results suggests that the three samples share one crystal structure, however the crystallinity decreases with increasing DDP content. Polarized optical microscope (POM) observation indicated that the samples showed non-banded spherulites at a lower and higher temperature, and banded spherulites at the middle temperature range. From the micrographs obtained from scanning electronic microscopy (SEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM), ringed patterns with many defects could be found for samples with higher DDP contents, which crystallized at a lower temperature, and a transformation from square-shaped spherulites to circular spherulites was noted for samples with higher DDP contents, which crystallized at a higher temperature. The interference color of the spherulites was also studied and it was shown that with the increase of film thickness or decrease of DDP content, the spherulites became more colorful under POM observation, indicating that the hindering effect and randomness caused by incorporating the DDP monomer with a bulky pendent group into the PTT molecular chain exhibited a negative influence on the molecular mobility and crystallization ability of the copolyester, and led to the formation of the defective band morphology and the less colorful interference color of the PTTP spherulites.     

Synthesis,morphology, and nonisothermal crystallization behavior of poly(trimethylene terephthalate)/poly(propylene glycol) segmented random copolymers

Poly(trimethylene terephthalate)/poly(propylene glycol) (PTT/PPG) segmented random copolymers were synthesized by melt copolycondensation. The weight fraction of PPG blocks was ranged from 12.1 to 33.4 wt%, which was confirmed by ¹H NMR spectroscopy. The result of wide‐angle X‐ray diffractometer indicated that all copolymers had the same crystal structure of PTT homopolymer at room temperature. At a determined crystallization temperature, ring‐banded spherulites could be observed in all copolymers samples, and the band spacing increased with the increase of PPG content. Morphologies of copolymers after nonisothermal crystallization process were strongly depended on the cooling rate. Well‐defined ring‐banded spherulites can be observed only at moderate cooling (20°C/min), while it was really hard to be observed at too low (2.5°C/min) or too high (by air‐quenching) cooling rate. Moreover, the size of spherulites decreased with the increase of cooling rate. Finally, different nonisothermal crystallization kinetics were adopt to analyze this copolymer system, and only the Mo method was suitable to describe this copolymer system.

The banded spherulites of iPP induced by pressure vibration injection molding

Isotactic polypropylene(i PP) samples obtained by pressure vibration injection molding(PVIM) and conventional injection molding(CIM) were studied by polarized-light microscopy(PLM), respectively. It was found that the alternating bright and dark banded spherulites were generated in the transitional region of PVIM parts. It is the first time that the banded spherulites of isotactic polypropylene were observed in polymer processing. What's more, the banded spherulites were proved to be constituted of ?-form crystal by hot stage polarized-light microscopy(HT-PLM) and wide angle X-ray diffraction(WAXD). Morphology of the banded spherulites was also studied by scaning electronical microscopy(SEM).     

Unusual Spherulitic Morphology of Poly(propylene fumarate)

Spherulites are the most common crystalline morphology and thus the visual expression of crystal structures for polymers. The diversified patterns have provided intuitive morphology probes for various crystallization behaviors, while the correlations between them are still needed to be enriched. In this work, the complicated spherulitic morphology of poly(propylene fumarate)(PPF), which is sensitive to crystallization temperature, is investigated. PPF melt, respectively, crystallizes into rough spherulites, regularly banded spherulites, and spherulites containing both two kinds of morphology at low, high, and mediate temperatures. By systematically assaying, it is clear that the growth axis along the radial direction changes from a-axis to b-axis as the crystallization temperature increases, which leads to the formation of unique crystallization-temperature-dependent spherulites. Based on detailed characterization of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, the packing state of the specific hydrogen bonds of "C=C―H···O=C―C=C" in PPF crystal lattices is determined, and furthermore, the mechanism for temperature-dependent selection of growth axes for PPF spherulites in melt is reasonably speculated.     

Ring‐banded spherulites in PCL and PCL/MWCNT solution‐casting films and effect of compressed CO2 on them

The ring‐banded spherulites in poly(ε‐caprolactone) (PCL) solution‐casting films in the absence and presence of multi‐walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) are studied by atomic force microscopy (AFM), polarized optical microscopy (POM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and scanning electronic microscopy (SEM). The results indicate that birefringent ring‐banded spherulites of PCL can grow from solution below 50 °C, and the temperature is much lower than that from pure PCL melt. We also find out that the presence of MWCNT apparently widen the temperature range of forming ring‐banded structure. Furthermore, the mechanism for the ring‐banded structure forming is studied, and it is attributed to the twisting of lamellae crystals, and the driving force is suggested including the deflexion of lamellae bundles. In addition, effect of compressed CO₂ on the morphology of PCL and PCL/MWCNT solution‐casting film is also investigated, and the results reveal that both PCL and PCL/MWCNT films undergo recrystallization with the treatment of compressed CO₂ and accordingly, the related properties can be adjusted. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Morphological changes of BTDA/m‐PDA polyimide banded spherulites: The effect of solvent on banding

BTDA/m‐PDA polyimide banded spherulites with different band spacing were observed in the same sandwiched film. Atom force microscopy (AFM) analysis suggested that the banded structure was caused by periodic twisting of radial grown lamella bundles. Based on polarizing light microscopy (PLM) and AFM observation, it was found that spherulites grown near the center of the film exhibited bigger band spacing and consisted of wider lamellae compared with those grown near the fringe, which was suggested to be caused by different solvent amount during imidization and crystallization: the more solvent existed, the wider the lamella would grow and the bigger the band spacing would be. It was further proved by changing the film thickness and PAA solution concentration. SEM observation showed that when crystallized in the solution, the lamella became ultra thick and straight, and formed small particles. Powder X‐ray diffraction revealed that crystal structures of the banded spherulite and the small particle were identical or at least very similar. Another solvent with lower boiling point was used in sample preparation, however, under the same preparation conditions, the grown features of banded spherulites did not change. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
