紫外光交联聚乙烯的结晶行为

采用熔融共混法制备了高密度聚乙烯(HDPE)/光引发剂(BDK)/交联剂 (TAIC) 共混物,在高压汞灯辐照下制备了一系列不同交联程度的样品. 通过广角X射线衍射(XRD)与差示扫描量热法(DSC)等测试技术研究了紫外光交联对HDPE的晶体结构及非等温结晶动力学行为的影响. 结果表明,紫外光交联不改变HDPE晶型. 随着光交联时间的增加,结晶峰的强度下降,晶粒尺寸变小. 随着降温速率的增加,HDPE与交联HDPE(XLPE)的结晶峰变宽,结晶温度(Tp)向低温方向移动,结晶速率变快,结晶度(Xc)下降. 相比较而言,XLPE的Tp较低,F(T)较大,Xc较小,结晶活化能(ΔE)较高,表明紫外光交联抑制了HDPE的结晶.     

不同分子量的高密度聚乙烯与茂金属线型低密度聚乙烯的相容性

采用动态流变学测试和结晶动力学的方法研究了两种分子量的高密度聚乙烯(HDPE)与茂金属线型低密度聚乙烯(m-LLDPE)共混体系的相容性.流变学研究表明,HDPE/m-LLDPE共混物在低ω区域lgG′-lgω关系曲线偏离线性规律,在熔融态为非均相体系.DSC分析发现HDPE/m-LLDPE共混物体系中HDPE的熔点随着m-LLDPE含量的增多而逐渐下降,说明HDPE与m-LLDPE二者具有机械相容性.当HDPE在m-LLDPE的熔体中等温结晶,分子量较高的HDPE结晶速率与纯HDPE相近,m-LLDPE的含量变化对Avrami指数n的影响不大;分子量较低的HDPE指数n和半结晶时间t1/2随m-LLDPE含量的增加逐渐增大,结晶速率随着m-LLDPE含量的增加逐渐下降,表明熔融态的m-LLDPE和HDPE存在着较强的分子间相互作用,二者具有一定的相容性.

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.

Thermal decomposition kinetics of multiwalled carbon nanotube/polypropylene nanocomposites

In this study, non-isothermal crystallization of neat high density polyethylene (HDPE) and HDPE/titanium dioxide (TiO₂) composite was studied using differential scanning calorimetry. Non-isothermal kinetic parameters were determined by Jeziorny approach and Mo’s method. Polarized optical microscopy and wide angle X-ray diffraction were applied to observe the crystal morphology and investigate the crystal structure, respectively. It was found TiO₂ particles could act as nucleating agent during the crystallization process and accelerate the crystallization rate. The Avrami index indicated nucleating type and growth of spherulite of HDPE was relatively simple. The result of activation energy indicated it was more and more difficult for the polymer chains to crystallize into the crystal lattice as the crystallization progressed. HDPE/TiO₂ composites exhibited lower ΔE values, suggesting TiO₂ particle could make the crystallization of HDPE easier. HDPE/TiO₂ composites had much smaller spherulite size than that of neat HDPE. HDPE formed more perfect crystal when TiO₂ particles were added into its matrix without changing the original crystal structure of HDPE.     

Structure,thermal stability,and photocrosslinking characterization of HDPE/LDH nanocomposites synthesized by melt‐intercalation

Structure, thermal properties, and influence of layered double hydroxide (LDH) fillers on photocrosslinking behavior of high‐density polyethylene (HDPE)/LDH nanocomposites have been studied in the present article. The X‐ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy analysis demonstrate that the completely exfoliated HDPE/LDH nanocomposites can be obtained by controlling the organomodified LDH loading via melt‐intercalation. The data from the thermogravimetric analysis show that the HDPE/LDH nanocomposites have much higher thermal stability than HDPE sample. When the 50% weight loss was selected as a comparison point, the decomposition temperature of HDPE/LDH sample with 5 wt % LDH loading is ～40 °C higher than that of HDPE sample. The effects of UV‐irradiation on the HDPE/LDH nanocomposites show that the photoinitiated crosslinking can destroy the completely exfoliated structure to form the partially exfoliated structure, which decreased the thermal stability of the nanocomposites. However, the thermal stability of photocrosslinked samples can increase with increasing the UV‐irradiation time. The effect of LDH loading on the gel content of UV‐irradiated nanocomposites shows that the LDH materials can greatly absorb the UV irradiation and thus decrease the crosslinking efficiency. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Quadruple‐shape‐memory effect of TPI/LDPE/HDPE composites

Shape‐memory polymers are important smart materials with potential applications in smart textiles, medical devices, and sensors. We prepared trans‐1,4‐polyisoprene, low‐density polyethylene (LDPE), and high‐density polyethylene (HDPE) shape‐memory composites using a simple mechanical blend method. The mechanical, thermal, and shape‐memory properties of the composites were studied. Our results showed that the shape‐memory composites could memorize 3 temporary shapes, as revealed by the presence of broad melting transition peaks in the differential scanning calorimetry curves. In the trans‐1,4‐polyisoprene/LDPE/HDPE composites, the cross‐linked network and the crystallization of the LDPE and HDPE portions can serve as fixed domains, and all crystallizations can act as reversible domains. We proposed a schematic diagram to explain the vital role of the cross‐linked network and the crystallization in the shape‐memory process.

FRACTIONATED CRYSTALLIZATION OF HDPE IN PS/POE/HDPE/SBS BLENDS

The fractionated crystallization behavior of the minor dispersed HDPE phase in PS/POE/HDPE/SBS quaternary blends was investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC).Interestingly,we found that the fractionated crystallization behavior of HDPE was molecular weight dependent.At a fixed composition,HDPE with lower molecular weight showed more obvious fractionated crystallization behavior than HDPE with higher molecular weight.This was ascribed to a finer dispersion of HDPE with lower molecular weigh...     

Non-isothermal crystallization behavior of Styrene butadiene rubber/high density polyethylene binary blends

The thermal and crystallization behavior of the blends are studied by differential scanning calorimetry and XRD. The presence of the amorphous component in the blend is found to influence the non-isothermal crystallization of HDPE. The addition of small quantities of SBR resulted in an increase in the rate of crystallization whereas nucleation is delayed. As compared to HDPE, larger crystallite size, a narrower size distribution, were observed in low SBR (~up to 30?wt%) content blends. The half time of crystallization also found to reduce as the SBR content in the blend increased. However, a lower degree of crystallinity was observed in these blends. The results thus show that incorporation of SBR in HDPE, while accelerating the rate of crystallization, lower the degree of crystallization. The reduction in the overall crystallization rate at high-SBR content is attributed to a decrease in the growth rate in the later stages of crystallization. It is observed that in dynamically cross-linked blends, the presence of crosslinked SBR that can acts as heterogeneous nuclei facilitated the nucleation of HDPE. However, the crystal growth may be impeded. As a result the overall crystallinity of the crosslinked blends found to decrease. From XRD profiles it had seen that addition of SBR and dynamic crosslinking does not exert an effect on the crystalline structure of HDPE. The dynamic vulcanization of SBR/HDPE blends enhanced the process of crystallization of HDPE phase. These conclusions are supported by the thermal characterization (DSC) results also.
