PMMA—b—PTHF／PTHF共混体系中共聚物结晶能力的增强

结晶嵌段共聚物具有一般均聚物所没有的许多特殊结晶行为。虽然,人们很早就已开始对聚氧化乙烯/聚苯乙烯诸类嵌段共聚物的结晶行为进行研究,但对这类体系相分离规律及结晶行为的认识仍很不够。这主要是因为已研究的体系非常有限,此外,大都为对体系非平衡态结构的研究。所以,尽管Whitmore和Noolandi最近提出了结晶嵌段共聚物及其共混物的平衡形态理论,但缺乏实验数据与之比较。

聚苯乙烯溶胀聚苯乙烯－聚丁二烯－聚苯乙烯三嵌段共聚物微区的研究

嵌段共聚物/均聚物共混体系,各嵌段会形成各自的相,并且嵌段间的连接点一定在两相之间的界面上,这一要求极大地影响了嵌段共聚物/均聚物共混体系的链构象和相行为.     

官能化聚四氢呋喃-b-聚异丁烯-b-聚四氢呋喃三嵌段共聚物的合成与性能

采用2-氯-2,4,4-三甲基戊烷或对二枯基氯为引发剂和TiCl4或FeCl3为共引发剂,引发异丁烯(IB)可控/活性正离子聚合与官能端基转化,设计合成不同分子量及窄分子量分布的端基官能化聚异丁烯,如双端烯丙基溴官能化聚异丁烯(Br-PIB-Br)或双端烯丙基胺官能化聚异丁烯(H2N-PIB-NH2).采用烯丙基溴/高氯酸银体系引发四氢呋喃(THF)开环聚合,合成聚四氢呋喃活性链(PTHF+).进一步通过将IB可控/活性正离子聚合与THF可控/活性正离子开环聚合2种方法相结合,设计合成2种新型官能化聚四氢呋喃-b-聚异丁烯-b-聚四氢呋喃(PTHF-b-PIB-b-PTHF)三嵌段共聚物:(1)以上述Br-PIB-Br为大分子引发剂,在AgClO4作用下引发THF活性正离子开环聚合,采用水终止活性链端,设计合成双端为羟基的HO-PTHF-b-PIB-b-PTHF-OH三嵌段共聚物(简称:FIBF-OH);(2)以上述合成的PTHF+活性链与H2NPIB-NH2链端胺基发生高效亲核取代反应,设计合成中间链段连接点含―NH―官能基团的PTHF-b-HNPIB-NH-b-PTHF三嵌段共聚物(简称:FIBF-NH).在上述三嵌段共聚物中,极性PTHF链段与非极性PIB链段的热力学不相容,导致其呈现明显的微相分离,且微观形态与共聚组成相关.PTHF均聚物易结晶,在上述共聚物中由于PTHF链段单端受限致其结晶性减弱.三嵌段共聚物分子链的中间连接点含―NH―官能基团,具有更强的氢键作用,促进PTHF链段重排并结晶,易形成更紧密的超分子网络结构,导致即使在PTHF链段相对分子量为0.7 kg·mol^-1时仍具有较强的结晶性,且结晶熔融温度明显提高.此外,由于FIBF-NH中形成超分子网络结构,使材料具有优异的自修复性能,材料表面的切痕在常温下10 min后可以完全自愈合.本文设计合成的新型官能化PTHF-b-PIB-b-PTHF三嵌段共聚物兼具有PTHF与PIB的优良性能,在生物医用、智能修复等功能材料领域具有潜在的应用前景.

COMPUTER SIMULATION OF MISCIBILITY AND SELF-ASSEMBLY STRUCTURE FOR POLYMER-CONTAINING SYSTEMS WITH SPECIAL INTERACTIONS

The miscibility and structure of A-B copolymer/C homopolymer blends with special interactions were studied by aMonte Carlo simulation in two dimensions. The interaction between segment A and segment C was repulsive, whereas it wasattractive between segment B and segment C. In order to study the effect of copolymer chain structure on the morphologyand structure of A-B copolymer/C homopolymer blends, the alternating, random and block A-B copolymers were introducedinto the blends, respectively. The simulation results indicated that the miscibility of A-B block copolymer/C homopolymerblends depended on the chain structure of the A-B copolymer. Compared with alternating or random copolymer, the blockcopolymer, especially the diblock copolymer, could lead to a poor miscibility of A-B copolymer/C homopolymer blends.Moreover, for diblock A-B copolymer/C homopolymer blends, obvious self-organized core-shell smicture was observed inthe segment B composition region from 20% to 60%. However if diblock copolymer composition in the blends is less than40%, obvious self-organized core-shell structure could be formed in the B-segment component region from 10 to 90%.Furthermore, computer statistical analysis for the simulation results showed that the core sizes tended to increasecontinuously and their distribution became wider with decreasing B-segment component.     

CRYSTALLIZATION OF BLENDS OF AN ASYMMETRIC POLY（OXYETHYLENE）-b-POLY（OXYBUTYLENE） BLOCK COPOLYMER WITH POLY（OXYBUTYLENE）

An oxyethylene/oxybutylene block copolymer with asymmetric volume fraction (E115B103) was blended with oxybutylene homopolymer (Bh) at different volume fractions of the block (φE). Crystallization behavior of the blends was studied and was compared with that of the blends from a symmetric block copolymer (E114B56). It was found that the crystallization temperature of E115B103/B28 blend is lower than that of the blends from symmetric block copolymer. For the blend with φE= 0.30 breakout crystallization with an Avrami exponent n ≈ 3.0 is observed. At φE = 0.22 the blend exhibits a variable crystallization behavior: confined crystallization with n ≈ 1.0 at lower crystallization temperatures but breakout crystallization at high crystallization temperatures. For the blend with φE = 0.14 and sphere morphology confined crystallization occurs at all crystallization temperatures studied. When compared with the blends from symmetric block copolymer, confined crystallization occurs more easily in the E115B103/B28 blends. The SAXS results agree with the isothermal crystallization kinetics. Deformation of the confined crystalline block is observed in the blend with φE = 0.14 and mixed lamellar and cylinder morphologies in the blend with φE = 0.22.     

Dissipative particle dynamics study on the interfaces in incompatible A/B homopolymer blends and with their block copolymers

Dissipative particle dynamics, a simulation technique appropriate at mesoscopic scales, has been applied to investigate the interfaces in immiscible binary A/B homopolymer blends and in the ternary systems with their block copolymers. For the binary blends, the interfacial tension increases and the interface thickness decreases with increasing Flory-Huggins interaction parameter chi while the homopolymer chain length is fixed. However, when the chi parameter and one of the homopolymer chain length is fixed, increasing another homopolymer chain length will induce only a small increase on interfacial tension and slight decrease on interface thickness. For the ternary blends, adding the A-b-B block copolymer will reduce the interfacial tension. When the mole number of the block copolymer is fixed, longer block chains have higher efficiency on reducing the interfacial tension than the shorter ones. But for the block copolymers with fixed volume fraction, shorter chains will be more efficient than the longer ones on reducing the interfacial tension. Increasing the block copolymer concentration reduces interfacial tension. This effect is more prominent for shorter block copolymer chains.     

Influence of Phase Separation Behaviour on Toughness of Compression Moulded SBS Star Block Copolymer/Polystyrene Blends

The influence of homopolymer molecular weight and compression moulding on morphology formation and deformation behaviour of binary blends of polystyrene-polybutadiene based star block copolymer and polystyrene (PS) homopolymer was investigated. The samples used were a polystyrene-(polystyrene-co-polybutadiene)-polystyrene (S-S/B-S) star block copolymer and anionically prepared polystyrene (aPS). The techniques used were transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and uniaxial tensile testing. A wide range of segregation behaviour was observed depending on the ratio of the length of aPS chains relative to that of corresponding outer blocks of the block copolymer. For the first time, the formation of macrophase-separated ‘droplet-like’ morphology has been reported, which endows the block copolymer/polystyrene blends with higher toughness. The mechanical properties of blends are discussed in the light of micromechanical processes of deformation. The micromechanical mechanisms and their dependence with inter domain distance are similar to the mechanisms found in rubber network toughened systems.
