STRUCTURE AND THERMAL MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF ORIENTED POLYIMIDE (PEI-E)

The strain induced crystallization behaviour in polyimide from 1,4-bis (3', 4'- dicarboxyphenoxy)benzene and 4,4'-oxydianiline (PEI-E)has been investigated by WAXD, DSC and FTIR. The results obtained show that crystallization in PEI-E did take place just after tensile yielding. Meanwhile, the effect of strain induced crystallization on the thermomechanical properties was studied by DMA and TMA, the results of which indicate that the crystallization and hot stretching have a certain influence on the dynamic mechanical properties, such as weakening the βrelaxation and decreasing the glass transition temperature. The TMA results confirm the shifting of glass transition temperature to lower temperature region after hot stretching. This phenomenon could be well explained by the effect of residual stress according to Eyring's theory.     

磺化间规聚苯乙烯的表征

间规聚苯乙烯(sPS)是一种新型结晶性工程塑料,熔点达270℃,具有结晶速度快、耐热性好、耐化学腐蚀性优良等特点,可广泛用于汽车、电子、机械等行业,极具开发意义,但是由于sPS脆性大,抗冲击性差,故通过化学改性在sPS的苯环上引入极性基团,用于制成共混合金与复合材料,是提高材料韧性,开拓sPS用途的重要途径。     

Preparation and characterization of biodegradable poly(l-lactide)/chitosan blends

In order to improve the properties of chitosan and obtain new fully biodegradable materials, blends of poly(l-lactide) (PLLA) and chitosan with different compositions were prepared by precipitating out PLLA/chitosan from acetic acid-DMSO mixtures with acetone. The blends were characterized by Fourier transform infrared analysis (FTIR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), ¹³C solid-state NMR and Wide-angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD). FTIR and XPS results showed that intermolecular hydrogen bonds existed between two components in the blends, and the hydrogen bonds were mainly between carbonyls of PLLA and amino groups of chitosan. The melting temperatures, cold crystallization temperatures and crystallinity of the PLLA component decreased with the increase in chitosan content. Blending chitosan with PLLA suppressed the crystallization of the PLLA component. Although the crystal structure of PLLA component was not changed, the crystallization of the blends was affected because of the existence of hydrogen bonds between two components, which was proved by WAXD results.

链解缠结聚对苯二甲酸乙二酯的结晶行为研究

采用冷冻萃取聚对苯二甲酸乙二酯(PET)溶液(0.1～10g/dL7种不同浓度,3种不同性能溶剂)的方法制备了解缠结PET试样.与链相互穿透且缠结的熔体骤冷试样相比,解缠结PET试样的结晶能力明显增强,且随着制样溶液浓度的降低,链间解缠结程度增加,PET的结晶能力逐渐增强,有序结构含量明显增加,但是如果制样溶液浓度太低,溶液中链间距离太大,则又不利于萃取过程中链间的有序堆砌而结晶.采用接触浓度c*附近的溶液,既可确保链间的有效解缠结又有利于链间的有序堆砌而结晶.PET的结晶能力甚至还受制样所用溶剂性能的影响,这是因为溶剂性能影响了溶液中链间的相互作用以及链的解缠结程度.     

烷基化程度对N-十八烷基化聚乙烯亚胺梳状高分子结构的影响

利用烷基化方法制备了烷基化取代程度(DS)介于47%～17.6%的N-十八烷基聚乙烯亚胺(PEI18C)梳状高分子.通过红外光谱、差示扫描量热法(DSC)、X-射线衍射和热失重分析等方法研究了PEI18C梳状高分子的结构、结晶行为和热稳定性,探讨了侧链烷基DS对C18侧链结晶及临界结晶行为的影响.结果发现,随DS的降低,PEI18C梳状高分子的结晶度由54.0%降至20.3%,可结晶碳原子数目由11.4个降到4.3个.受限于PEI骨架上C18烷基侧链的堆积排列模式并没有发生根本变化,仍以六方晶胞的形式进行排列.结果表明,侧链烷基DS或沿主链的侧链烷基分布密度对梳状高分子的结晶行为和临界结晶能力有明显的影响.从侧链结晶的角度,分析了侧链烷基取代度对梳状高分子结晶及热稳定性的影响.     

脂肪族聚酰胺热膨胀行为的研究

通过热膨胀测试,示差扫描量热分析(DSC)、广角X射线衍射(WAXD)与傅里叶变换红外光谱(FTIR)等方法研究了4种脂肪族聚酰胺玻璃化转变温度(Tg)、结晶行为以及氢键强度对热膨胀行为的影响,探索了影响脂肪族聚酰胺热膨胀的本质.DSC和X射线衍射结果表明,聚酰胺中结晶部分的热膨胀系数要低于无定形部分,但聚酰胺的熔融温度和结晶度对热膨胀的影响不够明确.相比较其它脂肪族聚酰胺,聚酰胺56(PA56)具有较高的玻璃化转变温度和较低的亚甲基/酰胺基(CH2/CONH)比例,表现出较低的热膨胀系数.研究发现,在相同条件下制备的脂肪族聚酰胺体系中,CH2/CONH比例或Tg与热膨胀系数具有明显的线性关系,随着CH2/CONH比例的降低或Tg的升高,热膨胀系数显著减小.FTIR的结果表明,聚酰胺分子链间的氢键密度和氢键强度随温度升高衰减的程度是影响其热膨胀行为的关键因素.     

Effects of functionalized graphenes on the isothermal crystallization of poly(L-lactide) nanocomposites

The effects of graphene oxide(GO) with polar groups and functionalized GO(f GO) with nonpolar groups on the isothermal crystallization of poly(L-lactide)(PLLA) were compared. Functionalized GO was obtained by grafting octadecylamine and characterized by FTIR, WAXD and TGA. Isothermal crystallization kinetics of PLLA/GO and PLLA/f GO nanocomposites were investigated by combining DSC data and Avrami equation. The results showed that f GO could improve PLLA crystallization rate more obviously than GO. By analyzing the morphology obtained from POM, SEM and TEM, it was found f GO with large layer space dispersed better in PLLA and supplied more nucleation sites than GO. Therefore, for the multilayer graphene, increasing the layer spaces is important to improve its dispersion in polymers, which will cause the crystal kinetics changing of polymers.     

拉伸对聚左旋乳酸结晶的影响

在成型加工过程中,拉伸是提高聚合物材料结晶能力的一种重要手段. 本文采用红外光谱、差示扫描量热分析、X射线衍射等方法系统研究了不同温度下拉伸对聚左旋乳酸（PLLA）结晶行为的影响. 结果表明,在合适的温度条件下,拉伸能迅速提高PLLA的结晶速度和结晶度. 对经过拉伸预处理但未结晶的PLLA样品进行等温及非等温结晶的研究发现,经过拉伸预处理的PLLA样品的结晶速率和结晶度都得到提高,这表明预拉伸会影响PLLA在后续过程中的结晶行为.     

取向非晶态聚对苯二甲酸乙二酯(PET)膜的结晶

采用小角和广角X-散射法比较了未拉和热拉PET膜在结晶性能方面的差别,热拉试样在分子链段的小尺度范围内基本上是无规取向,而在分子链的大尺度范围内却是高度取向的。研究结果表明:热拉PET膜的结晶诱导期较短,长周期发展得较快,结晶后小角X-线散射表现出明显的各向异性,在热处理过程中先出现显著的热收缩,随后又表现出结晶伸长现象,这些都和未拉试样有明显的差别。     

Morphological change of poly (ε‐caprolactone) with a wide range of molecular weight via formation of inclusion complex with α‐cyclodextrin

The effect of molecular weight of poly(ε‐caprolactone) (PCL) on the formation and stability of inclusion complexes (ICs) between α‐cyclodextrin (α‐CD) and PCL was investigated by FTIR, WAXD, and DSC measurements. ICs between α‐CD and PCLs with a wide range of number‐average molecular weight, M_n = 1.21 × 10⁴ – 1.79 × 10⁵, were prepared by mixing the aqueous solution of CD and acetone solution of PCL followed by stirring at 60 °C for 1h and at the room temperature for 1 day. FTIR, WAXD, and DSC measurement showed the PCL chains were included into the α‐CD cavity, and the crystallization of PCL was suppressed in the α‐CD cavity. Stoichiometry and yield of each IC varied with the molecular weight of guest PCL, and the effect of IC formation on the crystallization behaviour of guest polymer decreased with the increase of molecular weight of guest polymer. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Microporous membranes obtained from polypropylene blend films by stretching

Blends of two linear polypropylenes (PP, having different molecular weights) were prepared to develop microporous membranes through melt extrusion followed by stretching. The role of high molecular weight chains on the row-nucleated lamellar crystallization was investigated. The orientation of crystalline and amorphous phases was measured by wide angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD) and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR). Long period spacing was obtained using small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS). The effects of annealing temperature and applied elongation during annealing on the crystallinity of the films were studied using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). It was found that annealing at 140 °C contributed significantly to the perfection of the crystalline phase. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images of the membrane surface showed more pore density and uniform pore size as the amount of high molecular weight component increased. The addition of the high M_w PP improved the water vapor transmission rate (WVTR) of the membranes, indicating increased interconnectivity of the pores, which was also confirmed from cross-section SEM micrographs of the membranes. The surface area and pore dimensions of the microporous membranes were measured using the BET nitrogen absorption technique and mercury porosimetry, respectively. The influences of temperature and amount of stretching during cold and hot stretching on WVTR were also explored. Tensile properties in the machine and transverse directions (MD and TD, respectively) as well as puncture resistance in the normal direction (ND) were evaluated. As the high M_w PP was added, a slight reduction in the mechanical properties along MD and TD and no changes in ND were observed.     

Effect of PVDF characteristics on extruded film morphology and porous membranes feasibility by stretching

Three different polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) resins were selected to develop porous membranes through melt extrusion and stretching. The effect of the polymer rheology on chain elongation in the melt state was studied. The possibility of generating a row‐nucleated lamellar crystallization for precursor films was investigated. The arrangement and orientation of the crystalline phase were examined by wide angle X‐ray diffraction (WAXD) and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). The extrusion conditions and the blend compositions were adjusted to obtain uniform precursor films with appropriate morphology. Annealing, cold and hot stretching were consequently employed to generate and enlarge the pores. It was found that a proper crystalline structure of the precursor films was strongly dependent on molecular weight of PVDF and process conditions. Blending of two PVDF resins having low and high molecular weights improved the water vapor permeability of the obtained membranes. The tensile response was monitored during the stretching process for membrane development and the results revealed a distinct behavior for the membranes having low or high permeability. The membranes with low permeability did not show any significant strain hardening during stretching whereas for highly permeable membranes, a noticeable strain hardening behavior was observed. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

聚L-乳酸/4,4'-二羟基二苯硫醚共混物的分子间相互作用及结晶和熔融行为

利用红外吸收光谱(FTIR)研究了聚乳酸(PLLA)/4,4'-二羟基二苯硫醚(TDP)熔融共混物的分子间相互作用,结果表明,PLLA的羰基与TDP的羟基之间形成了分子间氢键.通过差示扫描量热(DSC)研究了共混物的玻璃化转变行为及非等温结晶和熔融行为.结果表明,样品的玻璃化转变温度(Tg)随TDP含量的增加呈线性下降.共混物的熔融结晶温度(Tc)、结晶焓(ΔHc)、熔融温度(Tm)及熔融焓(ΔHm)均随TDP含量的增加呈下降趋势,而冷结晶温度的变化趋势则相反.当TDP达到40%(质量分数)时,共混物的DSC曲线既未出现结晶峰,也未出现熔融峰,表明该样品已完全成为非晶态物质.广角X射线衍射(WAXD)分析结果表明,TDP的加入未改变PLLA的晶型,但导致其晶面间距变大,晶体结构变得松散.因此共混物熔点的下降归因于分子间氢键的形成降低了PLLA分子链的运动能力及晶体的紧密程度而非晶型的改变.

Synthesis and mesomorphic behaviour of hexacatenar di-hydrazine derivatives

A new series of hydrazide derivatives of N,N-bis(3,4,5-tris(heptyloxy)benzoyl) (T7 series) were designed and synthesised. Investigations on the liquid crystalline properties by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), wide-angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD) and polarising optical microscopy (POM) showed that the di-hydrazine derivatives exhibited different mesophases, which were ascribed to the different structure of T7 series. The rectangular columnar mesophases of T7-ben remained stable down to room temperature during cooling, T7-fuma was decomposed at 259°C in the first heating, while T7-mal showed simple cubic mesophase and crystalline phase at room temperature during cooling. Comparing Fourier-transformed infrared (FTIR) at room temperature of T7 series, some differences were found in the N–H stretching vibration and C = O stretching vibration bands, indicating that T7 series had some differences in intermolecular hydrogen bond strength, which were caused by the different linking unit of T7 series. Intermolecular hydrogen bonding between –C = O and –N–H groups in crystalline and liquid crystalline phases was confirmed by temperature FTIR spectroscopy and temperature ¹H NMR spectroscopy.     

Morphology and nonisothermal crystallization of in situ microfibrillar poly(ethylene terephthalate)/polypropylene blend fabricated through slit‐extrusion,hot‐stretch quenching

This study describes the morphology and nonisothermal crystallization kinetics of poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET)/isotactic polypropylene (iPP) in situ micro‐fiber‐reinforced blends (MRB) obtained via slit‐extrusion, hot‐stretching quenching. For comparison purposes, neat PP and PET/PP common blends are also included. Morphological observation indicated that the well‐defined microfibers are in situ generated by the slit‐extrusion, hot‐stretching quenching process. Neat iPP and PET/iPP common blends showed the normal spherulite morphology, whereas the PET/iPP microfibrillar blend had typical transcrystallites at 1 wt % PET concentration. The nonisothermal crystallization kinetics of three samples were investigated with differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Applying the theories proposed by Jeziorny, Ozawa, and Liu to analyze the crystallization kinetics of neat PP and PET/PP common and microfibrillar blends, agreement was found between our experimental results and Liu's prediction. The increases of crystallization temperature and crystallization rate during the nonisothermal crystallization process indicated that PET in situ microfibers have significant nucleation ability for the crystallization of a PP matrix phase. The crystallization peaks in the DSC curves of the three materials examined widened and shifted to lower temperature when the cooling rate was increased. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
