Crystallization behavior and morphology of one-step reaction compatibilized microfibrillar reinforced isotactic polypropylene/poly(ethylene terephthalate) (<Emphasis Type="Italic">i</Emphasis>PP/PET) blends

One-step reaction compatibilized microfibrillar reinforced iPP/PET blends(CMRB) were successfully prepared through a "slit extrusion-hot stretching-quenching" process.Crystallization behavior and morphology of CMRB were systematically investigated.Scanning electronic microscopy(SEM) observations showed blurry interface of compatibilized common blend(CCB).The crystallization behavior of neat iPP,CCB,microfibrillar reinforced iPP/PET blend(MRB) and CMRB was investigated by differential scanning calorimetry(DSC) and polarized optical microscopy(POM).The increase of crystallization temperature and crystallization rate during nonisothermal crystallization process indicated both PET particles and microfibrils could serve as nucleating agents and PET microfibrils exhibited higher heterogeneous nucleation ability,which were also vividly revealed by results of POM.Compared with MRB sample,CMRB sample has lower crystallization temperature due to existence of PET microfibrils with smaller aspect ratio and wider distribution.In addition, since in situ compatibilizer tends to stay in the interphase,it could also hinder the diffusion of iPP molecules to the surface of PET phase,leading to decrease of crystallization rate.Two-dimensional wide-angle X-ray diffraction(2D-WAXD) was preformed to characterize the crystalline structure of the samples by injection molding,and it was found that well-developed PET microfibrils contained in MRB sample promoted formation ofβ-phase of iPP.     

Nonlinear current-voltage characteristics of conductive polyethylene composites with carbon black filled pet microfibrils

Current-voltage electrical behavior of in situ microfibrillar carbon black (CB)/poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET)/polyethylene (PE) (m-CB/PET/PE) composites with various CB concentrations at ambient temperatures was studied under a direct-current electric field. The current-voltage (I-V) curves exhibited nonlinearity beyond a critical value of voltage. The dynamic random resistor network (DRRN) model was adopted to semi-qualitatively explain the nonlinear conduction behavior of m-CB/PET/PE composites. Macroscopic nonlinearity originated from the interfacial interactions between CB/PET micro fibrils and additional conduction channels. Combined with the special conductive networks, an illustration was proposed to interpret the nonlinear I-V characteristics by a field emission or tunneling mechanism between CB particles in the CB/PET microfibers intersections.

Formation of Poly（L-lactide） Mesophase and Its Chain Mobility Dependent Kinetics

In the present work, the PLLA mesophase formation and its kinetics at the advent of a chain mobility accelerator （polyethylene glycol （PEG）） are investigated by wide angle X-ray diffraction （WAXD） and time-resolved Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy （FTIR）. It is interestingly found that the presence of PEG could accelerate the formation of PLLA mesophase notably due to the enhanced chain mobility, giving rise to a substantially reduced half time （t0.5） of PLLA mesophase formation from 129 min to 8 min. The Avrami exponents （n） for the kinetics of mesophase formation are -0.5 for neat PLLA and 1 for PLLA/PEG, respectively, indicating that 1D-rod growth through heterogeneous nucleation occurs during formation of PLLA mesophase. Tensile testing demonstrates that PLLA mesophase could increase the tensile strength and modulus but decrease the elongation at break.

Non-isothermal crystallization of ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer containing a high weight fraction of graphene nanosheets and carbon nanotubes

The effect of the different geometrical dimensionality of two dimensional graphene nanosheets(2D GNSs) and one dimensional carbon nanotubes(1D CNTs) on the non-isothermal crystallization of an ethylene-vinyl acetate(EVA) copolymer at high loading(5 wt%) was studied.Transmission electron microscopy indicated a homogeneous dispersion of GNSs and CNTs in EVA obtained by a solution dispersion process.Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy and differential scanning calorimetry measurements showed that 1D CNTs and 2D GNSs acted as effective nucleating agents,with a noticeably increased onset crystallization temperature of EVA.A high weight fraction of nano-fillers slowed the overall crystallization rate of composites.At the same crystallization temperature,the crystallization behavior of GNS/EVA composites was slowed compared to that of the CNT/EVA ones owing to larger nucleus barrier and activation energy of diffusion.Dynamic mechanical relaxation and rheology behavior of CNT/EVA and GNS/EVA composites demonstrated that the planar structure of the GNSs had an intensively negative effect on EVA chain mobility due to interactions between nanofillers and polymer chains,as well as spatial restriction.
