Crystallization and melting behaviors of polypropylene admixed by graphene and β-phase nucleating agent

In this work, the crystallization and melting behaviors of different polypropylene (PP) materials containing a certain amount of graphene, β-phase nucleating agent (β-NA), and their mixture, respectively, were comparatively investigated. The results showed that graphene exhibited the typical sheet structure in the PP matrix, and the presence of β-NA did not change the dispersion of graphene apparently. Both graphene and β-NA exhibited great nucleating effect for the crystallization of PP. However, the nucleation efficiency of β-NA was much larger than that of graphene. With the simultaneous presence of graphene and β-NA, the crystallization ability of PP matrix was greatly improved, which indicated that there was a synergistic effect between graphene and β-NA in accelerating crystallization of PP matrix. Furthermore, it was proved that the synergistic effect was greatly dependent upon the crystallization conditions. The higher the isothermal crystallization temperature or the bigger the cooling rate, the more apparent the synergistic effect was.     

Isothermal crystallization kinetics of polypropylene latex–based nanocomposites with organo‐modified clay

The effect of organo‐modified clay (Cloisite 93A) on the crystal structure and isothermal crystallization behavior of isotactic polypropylene (iPP) in iPP/clay nanocomposites prepared by latex technology was investigated by wide angle X‐ray diffraction, differential scanning calorimetry and polarized optical microscopy. The X‐ray diffraction results indicated that the higher clay loading promotes the formation of the β‐phase crystallites, as evidenced by the appearance of a new peak corresponding to the (300) reflection of β‐iPP. Analysis of the isothermal crystallization showed that the PP nanocomposite (1% C93A) exhibited higher crystallization rates than the neat PP. The unfilled iPP matrix and nanocomposites clearly shows double melting behavior; the shape of the melting transition progressively changes toward single melting with increasing crystallization temperature. The fold surface free energy (σ_e) of polymer chains in the nanocomposites was lower than that in the PP latex (PPL). It should be reasonable to treat C93A as a good nucleating agent for the crystallization of PPL, which plays a determinant effect on the reduction in σ_e during the isothermal crystallization of the nanocomposites. The activation energy, ΔE_a, decreased with the incorporation of clay nanoparticles into the matrix, which in turn indicates that the nucleation process is facilitated by the presence of clay. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Crystallization and melting behavior of isotactic polypropylene nucleated with individual and compound nucleating agents

In this study, α-phase nucleating agent (NA) 1,3:2,4-bis(3,4-dimethylbenzylidene) sorbitol (DMDBS), β-phase rare earth NA (WBG), and their compound NAs were introduced into isotactic polypropylene (iPP) matrix, respectively. Crystallization kinetics and subsequent melting behavior of the nucleated iPPs were comparatively studied by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) under both isothermal and nonisothermal conditions. For the isothermal crystallization process, it is found that the Avrami model successfully described the crystallization kinetics. The active energy of nonisothermal crystallization of iPP was determined by the Kissinger method and showed that the addition of nucleating agents increased the activation energy. Melting behavior and crystalline structure of the nucleated iPPs are dependent on the nature of NAs and crystallization conditions. Higher proportion of β-phase can be obtained at higher content of β-nucleating agent and lower crystallization temperature or lower cooling rate.     

Crystallization,melting behavior,and morphology of PP/Novolac blends

The crystallization, melting behavior, and morphology of Polypropylene (PP) and PP/Novolac blends were studied by scanning electron microscopy, wide angle X‐ray diffraction, differential scanning calorimetry, and polarized optical microscope. The results showed that the crystallization of PP in PP/Novolac blends was strongly influenced by crystallization temperature, particles size of Novolac, crosslinking, and compatibilizer maleic anhydride‐grafted PP. The Novolac resin could not only affect the crystal structure, but also acted as effective nucleating agents, accelerating the crystallization of PP in the PP/Novolac blends. And the smaller the Novolac particles were, the more effective were the nucleating agent for PP crystallization. Avrami equation was used to analyze the isothermal crystallization kinetics of PP and PP/Novolac blends. The influences of curing and compatibilizer on the crystallization behavior of PP were rather complicated. The crystallization thermodynamics were estimated using the Hoffman theory. The incorporation of cured Novolac and compatibilizer evidently decreased the chain folding energy of PP. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Polym Sci Part B: Polym Phys 44: 3288–3303, 2006     

The influence of wood flour and compatibilizer (<Emphasis Type="Italic">m</Emphasis>-TMI-<Emphasis Type="Italic">g</Emphasis>-PP) on crystallization and melting behavior of polypropylene

Wood flour/polypropylene composites (WPC) were prepared by melt extruding with different wood flour (WF) loadings. The non-isothermal crystallization and melting was studied with different WF loadings, for W40P60 and W40P60M6, the melting was investigated after non-isothermal and isothermal crystalline. Comparing with neat polypropylene, the melting behavior of the composites, both non-isothermally and isothermally, was investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The results showed that WF was an effective heterogeneous nucleating agent, as evidenced by an increase in the crystallization temperature and the crystallinity for melt crystallization of PP with increasing WF content. For the non-isothermal samples, the origins of the double melting behaviors were discussed, based on the DSC results of PP. The XRD measurements confirmed that no crystalline transition existed during the non-isothermal crystallization process. With m-TMI-g-PP adding, due to compatibilization phenomenon were probably responsible for decreasing T _m, X _c. In the DSC scan after isothermal crystallization process, the single melting behaviors were found and each melting endotherm had a different origin.     

Isothermal crystallization kinetics of PP in PP/Mg(OH)2 composites

The crystallization and melting behavior of PP/Mg(OH)₂ composites was investigated, and the crystallization kinetic parameters and thermal characteristics were investigated according to the Avrami method. Optical polarizing microscope (POM) analysis suggested that the presence of Mg(OH)₂ particles gave rise to an increase in the number of nuclei and a decrease in PP spherulitic size. The Avrami exponent n of the PP and composites increased with increasing crystallization temperature, and markedly deceased with the addition of low Mg(OH)₂ content. A significant increase in crystallization kinetic constant, and a decrease in crystallization half time of PP were observed in the presence of Mg(OH)₂ particles, indicating a heterogeneous nucleating effect of Mg(OH)₂ upon crystallization of PP. The melting temperature and equilibrium melting temperature of PP in the composites decreased with increasing the Mg(OH)₂ content, which is directly related to the size of the PP crystals. The difference of PP melting enthalpies in the PP and composites demonstrated that the presence of Mg(OH)₂ can effectively enhance the crystalline of PP. The crystallization thermodynamics of PP and composites were studied according to the Hoffman theory. Surface free energy of PP chain folding for crystallization of PP/Mg(OH)₂ composites was lower than that of PP, confirming the heterogeneous nucleation effect of Mg(OH)₂. However, the evaluation of the nucleation activation energy of PP suggested the presence of a large amount of Mg(OH)₂ particles in the PP matrix reduced the mobility of PP segments and restricted the development of PP nucleation. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Crystallization kinetics and crystalline morphology of poly(ε-caprolactone) in blends with grafted rubber particles

The crystallization behavior of pure PCL and PCL in blends with crosslinked rubber particles was studied under (non)isothermal crystallization conditions, where the rubber particles were grafted with PCL chains via hydrogen abstraction of the aliphatic moieties in PCL. The crystal growth and the organization of crystals into spherulitic superstructures are significantly influenced by the presence of the grafted rubber particles, which act as an excellent nucleating agent for PCL. The nucleating efficiency shows an exponential dependency on the PCL grafting density and, according to an Avrami analysis, an increased PCL grafting density increases the overall crystallization rate of the PCL matrix. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Characterization of polypropylene/layered silicate nanocomposites prepared by single-step method

The extent of organo-modified clay (C93A) platelets dispersion in polymer matrix and crystallization and melting behavior of iPP-based nanocomposites prepared by a single-step melt-mixing method were investigated by wide-angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD), transmission (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). WAXD patterns revealed exfoliated structure of nanocomposites containing 1 wt% clay, and mixed intercalated/exfoliated structure at higher concentration of nanoclay. The isothermal crystallization proceeds faster in the matrix polymer (iPP/PP-g-MA) than in nanocomposite samples. The results obtained for T _m ^o suggest that the presence of nanoclay has induced a perfection of the formed crystals. The presence of C93A particles in PP leads to increase in crystallization peak temperature implying nucleating ability of clay particles, which was more pronounced in exfoliated than in mixed intercalated/exfoliated system.
