橡胶接枝苯乙烯本体共聚合全程动力学研究(Ⅰ)--接枝行为

橡胶接枝苯乙烯本体聚合的研究目前主要集中于预聚阶段接枝动力学和聚合条件对相转变的影响[1]. 对于后聚阶段, 即相转变后的接枝行为, 尤其是接枝率与橡胶相内包容物的关系、接枝率与高转化率聚合动力学的关系, 接枝率与橡胶相结构的关系等则研究很少. 这些因素对最终聚合物的性能起着至关重要的作用, 因此, 研究橡胶接枝苯乙烯本体聚合相转变以后接枝率的变化, 并找出橡胶相形态演绎过程的规律很有意义.     

Synthesis and characterization of chitosan-graft-polycaprolactone copolymers

The graft copolymers of chitosan with polycaprolactone (PCL) were prepared through a protection-graft-deprotection route using phthaloylchitosan as intermediate. PCL macromonomers terminated with isocyanate groups reacted with hydroxyl groups of phthaloyl-protected chitosan regioselectively, and then phthaloyl groups were deprotected to give the free amino groups. The graft reaction was carried out in homogeneous system and yielded copolymers with high grafting content due to solubilization. FTIR, NMR and XRD were detected to characterize the resultant chitosan-graft-PCL copolymers.     

沉淀法制备EPDM-g-MAH/CaCO_3复合材料及其性能的表征

提供了三元乙丙橡胶(EPDM)交联的一种方法.以二甲苯为溶剂,溶液法制备马来酸酐(MAH)接枝EPDM,然后向溶液中加入适量碳酸钙(CaCO3),与已接枝的马来酸酐(MAH)反应.待反应完全后,滴加丙酮作为沉淀剂,沉淀物真空干燥,制得EPDM-g-MAH/CaCO3弹性体复合材料.溶解、溶胀及拉伸性能测试结果表明,复合材料样品已形成有效的交联,且材料的抗张强度、断裂伸长率和模量均得到较大幅度的提高,当CaCO3含量达到体系总重的20%时,复合材料呈现最佳力学性能.上述实验结果是因为碱性的CaCO3的Ca2+可以与接枝在EPDM上的MAH发生配合反应,进而成为EPDM的交联中心,形成有效交联,从而促进了EPDM机械性能的提高,ATR-FTIR和TGA的测试结果被用于证实上述观点.     

Study and characterization of virgin and recycled LDPE/PP blends

Recycling of mixed plastic wastes composed of low-density polyethylene (LDPE) matrix and polypropylene (PP) was carried out by compounding using single-screw or twin-screw extruders. Blends of virgin polymers have been prepared to compare mechanical properties of both virgin and regenerated materials. First, a model composition of virgin LDPE/PP blend was prepared to study the effect of process parameters and that of different types of compatibilizers. Second, the results were applied to plastic wastes coming from industrial post-consumer plastic wastes. By adding compatibilizing agents such as ethylene-propylene-diene monomer, ethylene-propylene monomer, or PE-g-(2-methyl-1,3-butadiene) graft copolymer, elongation at break and impact strength were improved for all blends. The effect of these various copolymers is quite different and is in relation with their chemical structure. The recycled blends exhibit suitable properties leading to applications that require good mechanical properties.     

PREPARATION AND SWELLING PROPERTIES OF SUPER-ABSORBENT POLYMER

A super-absorbent polymer is prepared by graft polymerizing acrylamide (AM) ontopotato starch using ceric ammonium nitrate (CAN) and N, N′-methylene-bis-acrylamide(bisAM) as an initiator and cross-linking agent respectively, and then subjecting the potatostarch-poly(acrylamide) (PAM) graft copolymer (SPAM ) to alkaline saponification. Thewater absorbency (WA) of the sample is nearly 5000 g H_2O/g for dry sample in 24 hat room temperature and is far larger than that of reported in the literature. Thevariables affecting the WA were investigated and optimized, they were: concentrations ofpotato starch, AM, CAN and bisAM were 26.3 g/L, 1.14 mol/L, 10.3 mmol/L and 0.53mmol/L, respectively. The amount of sodium hydroxide was 15 g and the temperatures ofgraft copolymerization and saponification reactions were 60℃ and 95℃. The time of graftcopolymerization and saponification reactions was 2 h, respectively.

Rheological,mechanical and morphological properties of thermoplastic vulcanizates based on NR‐g‐PMMA/PMMA blends

Graft copolymer of natural rubber and poly(methyl methacrylate) (NR‐g‐PMMA) was prepared using semi‐batch emulsion polymerization technique via bipolar redox initiation system. It was found that the grafted PMMA increased with the increase of methyl methacrylate (MMA) concentration used in the graft copolymerization. The NR‐g‐PMMA was later used to prepare thermoplastic vulcanizates (TPVs) by blending with PMMA through dynamic vulcanization technique. Conventional vulcanization (CV) and efficient sulphur vulcanization (EV) systems were studied. It was found that the CV system provided polymer melt with lower shear stress and viscosity at a given shear rate. This causes ease of processability of the TPVs via extrusion and injection molding processes. Furthermore, the TPVs with the CV system showed higher ultimate tensile strength and elongation. The results correspond to the morphological properties of the TPVs. That is, finer dispersion of the small vulcanized rubber particles were observed in the PMMA matrix. Various blend ratios of the NR‐g‐PMMA/PMMA blends using various types of NR‐g‐PMMA (i.e. prepared using various percentage molar ratios of NR and MMA) were later studied via dynamic vulcanization by a conventional sulphur vulcanization system. It was found that increasing the level of PMMA caused increasing trend of the tensile strength and hardness properties but decreasing level of elongation properties. Increasing level of the grafted PMMA in NR molecules showed the same trend of mechanical properties as in the case of increasing concentration of PMMA used as a blend component. From morphological studies, two phase morphologies were observed with a continuous PMMA phase and dispersed elastomeric phase. It was also found that more finely dispersed elastomeric phase was obtained with increasing the grafted PMMA in the NR molecules. Copyright © 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Amphiphilic Graft Copolymers of Hydroxypropyl Cellulose Backbone with Nonpolar Polyisobutylene Branches

The novel amphiphilic graft copolymers with hydrophilic hard polar hydroxypropyl cellulose(HPC) backbone and hydrophobic soft nonpolar polyisobutylene(PIB) branches have been successfully synthesized through nucleophilic substitution reaction of living PIB chains carrying oxonium ions with the-OH groups along HPC backbone. The PIB branch length in the graft copolymers could be designed by living cationic polymerization and the grafting density could be adjusted by PIB~+/-OH molar ratio. The living PIB chains carrying oxonium ion were prepared by transformation of allyl bromide end groups in the presence of AgClO_4 and silver nanoparticles(3.2±0.3 nm, 0.7 wt%-1.8 wt%)generated in situ from AgBr. The phase-separation morphology was formed in the graft copolymers due to their incompatibility between backbone and branches. The hydrophilicity on the surface of graft copolymer films could be turned to hydrophobicity by increasing grafting density or/and length of PIB branches. The soft PIB segments in graft copolymers provided an unique surface via self-assembly for anti-protein adsorption against bovine serum albumin. A small amount of Ag nanoparticles in the copolymers contributed to good antibacterial activities against Staphylococcus aureus or Escherichia coli.     

Influence of thermal history upon physical properties of PVC

The physical properties of PVC depend on two fundamental parameters, which are influenced by thermal history: free volume and crystallinity. This is demonstrated by DSC, sorption, low strain and ultimate mechanical properties.     

Design,Synthesis, and Properties of Substituted Polyacetylenes

This article reviews recent topics on the polymerization of substituted acetylenes, focusing on the synthesis of poly(diphenylacetylenes) and the living polymerization of phenylacetylenes. Diphenylacetylene (DPA) polymerizes with TaCl_s-n-Bu₄Sn to give a polymer which is thermally very stable but insoluble in any solvents. DPAs with various groups (e.g.,p-Me₃Si,m-Me₃Ge, p-t-Bu,and_p-PhO) polymerize similarly. These polymers are soluble and their M¯_w's reach 1 × 10⁶ to 3 × 10⁶. Some of them are more gas-permeable than poly(dimethylsiloxane). Several acetylenes (e.g., ClC -n-C₆H₁₃ and HCUC-t-Bu) have been found to undergo living polymerization with MoOCl₄-n-Bu₄Sn-EtOH. Whereas phenylacetylene (PA) does not polymerize in a living fashion, ortho-substituents in PA more or less suppress termination and chain transfer. PAs with bulky ortho groups (e.g., CF₃ and Me₃Ge) especially undergo virtually ideal living polymerization.
