聚丙烯釜内合金的相态研究

聚丙烯釜内合金具有良好的刚韧平衡性能,历经30多年的发展,在包装、汽车和建筑等领域已得到广泛的应用。其优异的性能及复杂的多相、多组分结构更是引起了相关领域研究者的高度关注。聚丙烯釜内合金是一种在聚合釜内直接合成的多相、多组分聚合物体系,其初始产品常以粉末或球型颗粒的状态存在,具有非常复杂的相形态,并且在加工成型过程中,由于相形态的演变会形成更加丰富的微结构,从而对聚丙烯釜内合金最终的力学性能产生决定性的影响。目前对于聚丙烯釜内合金体系的分子链结构-聚集态结构-产品性能之间的构效关系仍然有很多问题亟待解决。近期研究表明在某些情况下,聚丙烯釜内合金体系中增韧相形成“核-壳”型结构(或多重“核-壳”型结构)时,可以实现最佳的刚性与韧性的平衡,但对于这些“核-壳”结构形成条件的控制及结构成分的精确测定仍有不足。本文主要总结了近年来聚丙烯釜内合金相态研究的进展,展望了该领域可能的发展方向。

Preparation and characterization of spherical PP/PB alloys with MgCl2-supported Ziegler-Natta catalyst

Polypropylene（PP）/polybutene-1（PB） alloys within reactor were prepared by MgCl₂-supported Ziegler-Natta catalyst with sequential two-stage polymerization technology.First,propylene homo-polymerizations were carried out to form isotactic polypropylene（iPP） particles containing active catalyst.Then,butene-1 was subsequently polymerized to form polybutene-1 phase inside the iPP particles.Finally,iPP/PB alloys with spherical shape and adjustable PB content were synthesized.The catalytic activity and catalytic stereospecificity of the Z-N catalyst in the two-stage polymerization process are discussed.The composition and physical properties of the PP alloys were characterized by FT-IR,¹³C-NMR,SEM,DSC and XRD.It was found that the in-reactor PP alloys are mainly composed of PP and PB with a little amount of poly（butene-co -propylene） random copolymers and poly（butene-block-propylene） block copolymers.SEM measurements verified that the PB phases with size in the range of 300-400 nm dispersed in the PP matrix uniformly.The incorporation of PB upon the PP matrix affects the properties of final products greatly.     

Morphology and Properties of PP In-reactor Alloys Prepared with a MgCl2/TiCl4/Diisobutyl Phthalate/Phosphate Tris-methylphenyl Ester Catalyst System

A series of polypropylene(PP)/poly(ethylene-co-propylene) in-reactor alloys with different ethylene contents was prepared through a two-stage polymerization process using a MgCl₂/TiCl₄/diisobutyl phthalate/phosphate tris-methylphenyl ester catalyst system. The ethylene content, particle shape, fractured surface, and glass-transition temperature(T_g) of the obtained PP in-reactor alloys were characterized by means of nuclear magnetic resonance, scanning electron microscopy(SEM), and dynamic mechanical analysis(DMA). The ethylene content of the PP alloys increased from 2.34% to 26.69% when the propylene/ethylene feed ratio was increased from 66/34 to 54/46(molar ratio). Morevoer, the increment in ethylene content increased the notched Izod impact strength of the resulting PP alloys. The impact strength of the PP alloy with an ethylene content of 26.69% was 55.8 kJ/m², which is 12.7 times that of isotactic polypropylene. The results of DMA and SEM analysis reveal that ethylene-propylene random copolymer(EPR) in the PP alloy has a low T_g of ca. -50 ℃ and a high interface compatibility with the PP matrix. The excellent impact performance of the PP alloy can be attributed to the uniform dispersal of EPR in the alloy particles and PP matrix.

GRAFTING OF PEROXIDE-INITIATED MALEIC ANHYDRIDE ON SPHERICAL PE／PP IN-REACTOR BLEND GRANULES

Spherical polyethylene/polypropylene (PE/PP) in-reactor blend granules with various ethylene/propylene molar ratios and high porosity were synthesized using a high yield TiCl4/MgCl2 supported catalyst. A solution of benzoyl peroxide (BPO)/maleic anhydride (MAH)/xylene (interfacial reagent) or BPO/MAH/St (comonomer) was absorbed onto the PE/PP inreactor blend granules, and solid phase gratt polymerization of MAH on PE/PP was conducted. The amount of grafted MAH on PE/PP was measured through chemical titration. The results showed that solid phase graft polymerization of MAH in PE/PP in-reactor blend granules produced graft copolymer with high amount of grafted MAH, and the amount of grafted MAH was raised slightly when St was introduced as comonomer. The graft in-reactor blend was fractionated into five fractions through temperature-gradient extraction fractionation (TGEF), and the fractions were analyzed by FTIR. The results revealed that MAH is mainly grafted on the PE segments, whereas MAH was predominantly grafted on the PP segments when St was present in the graft polymerization system. In addition, the final product is still in the form of regular spherical granules, which is beneficial for industrial processing.

SYNTHESIS AND CHARACTERIZATION OF POLYPROPYLENE/MONTMORILLONITE NANOCOMPOSITES VIA AN in-situ POLYMERIZATION APPROACH

Polypropylene/montmorillonite (PP/MMT)nanocomposites were prepared by in-situ polymerization using aMMT/MgCl_2/TiCl_4-EB Ziegler-Natta catalyst activated by triethylaluminum(TEA). The enlarged layer spacing of MMT wasconfirmed by X-ray wide angle diffraction (WAXD), demonstrating that MMT were intercalated by the catalyst components.X-ray photoelectron spectrometry (XPS) analysis proved that TiCl_4 was mainly supported on MgCl_2 instead of on the surfaceof MMT The exfoliated structure of MMT layers in the PP matrix of PP/MMT composites was demonstrated by WAXDpatterns and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) observation. The higher glass transition temperature and higher storage modulus of the PP/MMT composites in comparison with pure PP were revealed by dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA).     

Forty years of industrial developments in the field of isotactic polyolefins

The interest for the stereospecific polymerization of olefins discovered by prof. Natta in 1954 was so high that only a few years elapsed between the discovery and the commercialization of polypropylene. The polypropylene discovery generated a tremendous scientific and technological effort for the development of the catalyst, the process, the products. The fundamental achievements in the polypropylene technology had a significant impact over the polyolefin technology in general. Thanks to it, polyolefinic polymers, copolymers and rubbers, polyefinic based materials and alloys via heterogeneous Ziegler-Natta catalyst polymerization are today largerly the most important family of plastic materials. The ability to vary melt flow and the broad properties range of these materials, the excellent thermal and physical-mechanical properties of isotactic polyolefins together with the favorable economics and their full and easy recyclability widen the concept of monomaterial application fuelling their dynamic expansion since the early sixties.     

Polymerization Kinetics of Propylene with the MgCl_2-Supported Ziegler-Natta Catalysts——Active Centers with Different Tacticity and Fragmentation of the Catalyst

The catalytic activity and stereospecificity of olefin polymerization by using heterogeneous TiCl_4/MgCl_2 Ziegler-Natta(Z-N) catalysts are determined by the structure and nature of active centers, which are mysterious and fairly controversial. In this work, the propylene polymerization kinetics under different polymerization temperatures by using Z-N catalysts were investigated through monitoring the concentration of active centers [C*] with different tacticity. SEM was applied to characterize the catalyst morphologies and growing polypropylene(PP) particles. The lamellar thickness and crystallizability of PP obtained under different polymerization conditions were analyzed by DSC and SAXS. The PP fractions and active centers with different tacticity were obtained with solvent extraction fractionation method. The catalytic activity, active centers with different tacticity and propagation rate constant k_p, fragmentation of the catalyst, crystalline structure of PP are correlated with temperature and time for propylene polymerizations. The polymerization temperature and time show complex influences on the propylene polymerization. The higher polymerization temperature(60 ℃) resulted higher activity, k_p and lower [C*], and the isotactic active centers C_i* as the majority ones producing the highest isotactic polypropylene(iPP) components showed much higher k_p when compared with the active centers with lower stereoselectivity. Appropriate polymerization time provided full fragmentation of the catalyst and minimum diffusion limitation. This work aims to elucidate the formation and evolution of active centers with different tacticity under different polymerization temperature and time and its relations with the fragmentation of the PP/catalyst particles, and provide the solutions to the improvement of catalyst activity and isotacticity of PP.
