硅氧烷液晶共聚物作为β晶成核剂对等规聚丙烯结晶结构与形态的影响

采用广角X射线衍射(WAXD)与偏光显微镜(POM)等手段研究了硅氧烷液晶共聚物(LCP-O2)作为新型成核剂对聚丙烯(PP)共混样品结晶结构与形态的影响.结果表明,低浓度的LCP-O2在PP共混体系中起到异相成核的作用,使PP的晶核数目增多,球晶细化,并提高了结晶速度,同时也诱导出了β晶的形成.LCP-O2的成核效果主要依赖于其在PP中的相对含量、液晶的分子结构与结晶的热处理过程,且随着结晶温度或成核剂含量的增加,对应PP试样的β晶含量(Kβ)呈现先增加,后降低的趋势.当LCP-O2质量分数为1.0%,在130℃等温结晶1h,对应PP试样的Kβ最大,为58%.此外,属于单斜晶的α球晶呈现黑白颜色,晶束呈放射状生长,边界清晰;而属于三方晶的β球晶亮度要高于α球晶,其颜色艳丽多彩,束状晶片聚集体呈支化生长,内部排列比α晶疏散,边界相对模糊,且β晶与α晶的形态分别在157和171℃完全消失.     

向列相液晶共聚物作为β晶成核剂对等规聚丙烯结晶结构与热性能的影响

采用接枝聚合的方法,合成了一种新型聚硅氧烷类向列相液晶共聚物(LCP-H4),然后将LCP-H4与PP在一定工艺条件下密炼共混,得到了一系列的共混样品,采用WAXD、POM与DSC等研究了LCP-H4作为成核剂对PP样品结晶结构、形态与热性能的影响.结果表明,具有独特"液晶"性能的LCP-H4为PP结晶提供了更多的带自由能的晶核与较多的活性点,起到了异相成核的作用,既提高了PP的结晶速度、结晶温度和结晶度,又减小了球晶的尺寸,同时也改变了PP的结晶结构、形态及热力学与动力学,诱导出了β晶.此外,随着增加LCP-H4的含量及结晶温度,对应PP试样的β晶含量(Kβ)呈现先增加后降低的趋势,当LCP-H4含量为0.9%,在128℃等温结晶1h,对应成核PP的Kβ最大,为54%.     

PP-g-MAEu离聚物的合成与表征

以过氧化二异丙苯(DCPO)为引发剂,将马来酸铕(MAEu)熔融接枝到聚丙烯上,合成不同接枝率的PP-g-MAEu离聚物,考察了反应时间、引发剂浓度、单体用量对接枝率的影响,在离聚物的1540～1643 cm-1之间的宽峰说明MAEu与PP发生了接枝反应;利用WAXD, POM和DSC考察了PP及其接枝物的结晶行为, PP-g-MAEu能促进β-型结晶的形成,接枝物的起始结晶温度移向高温,结晶速率加快,接枝物形成的球晶尺寸变小,而且球晶不规整;荧光光谱的结果表明PP-g-MAEu离聚物是一种单色性好、亮度高的稀土高分子光致发光材料.     

丙烯酸及其接枝物对纳米CaCO3/PP结晶与熔融行为的影响

制备了丙烯酸(AA)及其接枝聚丙烯(PP—g-AA)改性的纳米CaC03／PP复合材料。用DSC研究了纳米CaCO3对PP、PP-g-A和AA对纳米CaCO3／PP中PP结晶与熔融行为的影响。结果表明：随纳米CaCO3用量增加，PP结晶与熔融温度提高，PP—g—AA加入使PP结晶温度进一步提高，PP的结晶温度也随从用量增加而提高；在过氧化二异丙苯(DCP)存在下，少量AA能明显提高PP的结晶温度，但增加从用量对结晶温度的影响较小；WAXD证实纳米CaCO3／PP复合材料中存在β晶。     

剪切应力场中聚丙烯熔体在近熔点处冷却结晶的晶体结构研究

通过自主设计的动态保压注塑成型装置研究剪切应力场下聚丙烯(PP)熔体在近熔点处冷却结晶的晶体结构.用扫描电子显微镜(SEM)、示差扫描量热法(DSC)和广角X射线衍射(WAXD)分析了PP试样在近熔点处冷却后从表层到剪切层的结晶结构的变化.SEM研究表明,与传统注塑成型样品(SL)和剪切力场中高熔体温度下冷却得到的试样(DH)相比,近熔点附近冷却得到的PP试样(DL)从表层到剪切层的结晶结构和形态有明显变化.DL从表层到剪切层均生成了尺寸较大的取向结晶结构,无明显的串晶产生.DSC研究表明,与SL和DH相比,DL剪切层无脊纤维晶熔融峰且晶片熔融温度较高,证明其样品内部晶片尺寸较大.WAXD进一步研究显示,DL内部主要晶面(110,040和130)的结晶尺寸与SL和DH相比并没有发生明显改变.     

聚丙烯催化合金(PP-c)的晶体结构及其影响因素

用差示扫描量热法(DSC)和广角X射线衍射(WAXD)研究了两种乙烯含量不同的聚丙烯反应合金(PP-c)等温结晶下的晶体结构及PPβ晶含量的影响因素.结果表明,在通常的等温结晶条件下,乙烯含量较高的试样(PEP40)的熔融曲线出现双熔融峰.WAXD分析证明,其熔融双峰分别代表均聚聚丙烯(PP)的α晶和β晶.计算结果表明,PEP40中β晶含量与结晶温度有关,124℃结晶时β晶含量最高.在220℃对PP-c熔体进行热处理可显著提高PEP40中β晶的含量;在相同温度下热处理后,较低乙烯含量的试样(PEP20)也出现晶型异构.比较200℃与220℃下热处理对PEP20等温结晶的结晶形态的影响,发现后者使微晶尺寸明显变小,并呈现较完善的β球晶形态.     

链拓扑结构对嵌段共聚物结晶行为的影响

通过等量的聚乙二醇(PEG)和聚苯乙烯(PS)合成了H型(PS)2-PEG-(PS)2(PEG链接在PS链的中间)和线型PS-PEG-PS(PEG链接在PS链的一端)三嵌段共聚物,并通过X射线小角散射(SAXS)、X射线广角衍射(WAXD)、示差扫描量热仪(DSC)和偏光显微镜(POM)等手段研究了其结晶行为,结果表明2种共聚物中PEG的晶型相同,但是H型比线形结晶温度更低,PEG片晶厚度更小,在相同温度下PEG结晶速度更慢,这是由于H型分岔结构引起空间位阻较大所致.     

多组分单体接枝聚丙烯/尼龙6反应共混物结晶行为研究

预辐射聚丙烯反应挤出接枝丙烯酸的研究

利用电子束(EB)预辐照方法和反应挤出技术制备了聚丙烯接枝丙烯酸共聚物PP-g-AA. 采用化学滴定、红外光谱、偏光显微镜(PLM)、DSC和广角X射线衍射(WAXD)对接枝产物进行了表征. 研究结果表明, 接枝率随辐照剂量增加而增大并逐渐达到平台值, 但随单体浓度增大而表现为线性增加, 接枝链能起到异相成核作用, 从而提高了结晶速率并细化了球晶. 同时, 熔体流动速率(MFR)和力学性能测试结果表明, 预辐射和挤出过程造成了PP严重降解, 据此可认为接枝反应主要发生在聚丙烯断裂分子链的末端.     

由N—催化剂催化聚合的聚丙烯结晶行为研究

用小角X-射线散射法(SAXS),广角X-射线衍射法(WXAD)和差示扫描量热法(DSC)对由N-催化剂催化聚合的聚丙烯结晶行为进行探讨。发现这种聚丙烯结晶中有β晶型存在,且其含量随结晶时间增加而增加随结晶温度升高而降低;β晶含量增加,聚合物的长周期也会增加,β晶对长周期的影响比α晶更大。乙烯共聚改性后的聚丙烯因分子链规整性下降而阻止了β晶的形成。在熔融状态下结晶时,β晶的形成要求聚丙烯的分子链具有更高的规整性。这些实验结果均从分子链段结晶机理得到了解释。

Due to the presence of fluorescence, we report their prime application metal sensor as off/on switching in ferric ions.     

α-Amino acid derived enaminones and their application in the synthesis of N-protected methyl 5-substituted-4-hydroxypyrrole-3-carboxylates and other heterocycles

A new and simple synthesis of novel N-protected methyl 5-substituted-4-hydroxypyrrole-3-carboxylates, which exist in equilibrium with their 4-oxo tautomers, has been developed in two steps starting from N-protected α-amino acids. The key intermediates are enaminones, which can also be isolated, characterized, and used for the construction of other functionalized heterocycles, before they spontaneously decompose to pyrrole products. 4-Hydroxypyrroles are prone to partial aerial oxidation but can be efficiently alkylated or reduced to stable polysubstituted pyrrolidine derivatives.     

Specific intramolecular aromatic CH insertion of diazosulfonamides

The chemoselectivity in the intramolecular CH insertion of various diazosulfonamides has been experimentally studied. The results reveal that the aliphatic 1,4-, 1,5-, or 1,6-C(sp³)?H insertions of diazosulfonamides are not accessible, while the aromatic 1,5-C(sp²)?H insertion can be realized specifically by adjusting the diazo-adjacent group. In addition, the general chemoselectivities in the intramolecular CH insertions of diazosulfonyl compounds are summarized. Generally, diazosulfones undergo both aromatic 1,5-C(sp²)?H and aliphatic 1,5- and 1,6-C(sp³)?H insertions, while diazosulfonates undergo aliphatic 1,5- and 1,6-C(sp³)?H insertions. However, diazosulfonamides only undergo aromatic 1,5-C(sp²)?H insertion.

Understanding the Diels-Alder reactivity of 1,2-azaborine analogues

The Diels-Alder reactivity of 1,2-heteroborines (H₄C₄B(H)X, X?=?NH, PH, AsH; O, S, Se) has been computationally explored by means of Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations. The influence of the HB?=?X fragment on the reactivity of the system has been quantitatively analyzed in detail by means of the so-called Activation Strain Model (ASM) of reactivity. It is found that the interaction between these species and the dienophile is significantly stronger than that computed for their all-carbon isoelectronic counterpart, benzene. In addition, the strain energy plays a key role in the observed reactivity trends. The role of the aromaticity strength of these heteroarenes on the reactivity is also assessed.     

Synthesis of N-substituted carbazolones from α-iodo enaminones via Pd(0)-catalyzed intramolecular coupling under microwave irradiation

A variety of N-aryl and N-alkyl carbazolones were conveniently achieved in good to high yields via Pd₂(dba)₃-mediated intramolecular coupling of N-substituted α-iodo enaminones under microwave irradiation. The Pd(0)-catalyzed cyclization was found to proceed favorably with the more electron-deficient phenyl ring during the reactions involving unsymmetrical N,N-diaryl α-iodo enaminones. This unique property enables the construction of carbazolone skeleton containing nitro substituted benzenoid ring.     

Iodine-mediated oxidative Pictet-Spengler reaction using terminal alkyne as the 2-oxoaldehyde surrogate for the synthesis of 1-aroyl-β-carbolines and fused-nitrogen heterocycles

An efficient iodine-mediated oxidative Pictet-Spengler reaction in dimethyl sulphoxide (DMSO) using terminal alkynes as the 2-oxoaldehyde surrogate for the synthesis of aryl (9H-pyrido[3,4-b]indol-1-yl)methanones is described. The scope of the protocol includes the total synthesis of Fascaplysin, Eudistomins Y₁ and Y₂. The methodology is extended for preparing pyrrolo[1,2-a]-quinoxaline and indolo[1,5-a]quinoxaline derivatives. The utility of 1-aroyl-β-carbolines was demonstrated by performing palladium-catalyzed β-carboline directed ortho-C(sp2)-H functionalization of the phenyl ring with thiomethyl (SMe) group using DMSO as source and for accessing 4-aryl-canthin-6-ones.     

Synthesis of substituted 2,4,5,6-tetrahydrocyclopenta[c]pyrazoles and 2,4,5,6-tetrahydropyrrolo[3,4-c]pyrazoles by intramolecular nitrilimine cycloaddition

Both substituted 2,4,5,6-tetrahydrocyclopenta[c]pyrazoles and 2,4,5,6-tetrahydropyrrolo[3,4-c]pyrazoles have been synthesized by the 3+2 intramolecular dipolar cycloaddition of nitrilimines to alkynes. This cyclization has been extended to more versatile 3-bromo derivatives by the use of alkynylbromides as dipolarophiles.     

Facile synthesis of bicyclic 1-arylpyrazol-5-ones

In this Letter, we described a facile method for constructing fused bicyclic 1-arylpyrazol-5-one ring system. We employed various methylene-containing carboxylic acids as the substrates and proved that the pyrazolone ring closure requires activated methylene group in intermediate II. Accordingly, a series of structurally diversified, fused bicyclic 1-arylpyrazol-5-ones was prepared in moderate to high yields using the requisite substrates.
