GMA和共单体对聚乙烯木塑复合材料的直接反应增容

通过甲基丙烯酸缩水甘油酯(GMA)、聚乙烯(PE)、木粉和其它助剂的熔融挤出,实现了GMA及GMA与共单体对PE和木粉的直接反应增容.通过扫描电镜(SEM)观测了PE基木塑复合材料(WPC)的冲击断面形貌.测试了WPC经抽提后所得木粉的傅立叶变换红外光谱(FTIR)和WPC的力学性能及热变形温度(HDT).研究了共单体苯乙烯(St)和抑交联剂亚磷酸三苯酯(TPP)对反应增容的影响.结果显示,经GMA和引发剂反应增容后,有部分PE分子键合到了木粉粒子上,从而增强了木塑两相的结合力;St的加入有利于提高GMA的接枝率,导致更多PE分子键合到了木粉粒子上,而TPP的加入则使GMA的接枝率有所下降.经GMA和引发剂直接反应增容后,WPC的力学性能和HDT均明显改善;St的加入有助于抑制PE的交联,但并未造成WPC力学性能和HDT的明显劣化;同时加入St和TPP后,WPC的HDT有所下降,而断裂伸长率和冲击强度则明显提高.

Grafting of glycidyl methacrylate onto polypropylene using supercritical carbon dioxide

Free-radical grafting of glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) onto polypropylene (PP) films has been studied using supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CO₂) as a solvent and a swelling agent. As the reaction temperature was below the melting point, PP was modified in the solid phase. The PP film was first soaked with the monomer GMA and benzoyl peroxide (BPO) as an initiator using SC-CO₂ at different experimental conditions of pressure, temperature, and thermal treatment time. After releasing CO₂, film GMA molecules were grafted onto PP in different times. Using this method, the degree of grafting and the morphology could be controlled through the combination of pressure, temperature, and soaking time. FTIR spectra confirmed that GMA had been grafted onto PP and that polypropylene-graft-glycidyl methacrylate (PP-g-GMA) presented a high surface reactivity for conductive polyaniline anchoring. DSC measurements and TG analyses showed that the thermal profiles of the graft copolymer and virgin PP are quite similar and that the graft PP does not exhibit changes in terms of thermal degradation profile and melting temperature, respectively. X-ray data showed that a high degree of grafting leads to a lower degree of crystallinity of polypropylene.     

Styrene-assisted melt free radical grafting of glycidyl methacrylate onto polypropylene

The free radical grafting reactivity of glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) onto polypropylene (PP) in the molten state is low. This article shows that adding styrene as a second monomer (or comonomer) increases both the rate and yield of GMA grafting and reduces PP chain scission. The proposed mechanism is that when St is added to the PP/GMA/peroxide grafting system, St reacts first with PP macroradicals to form stable styryl macroradicals. These latter then react (or copolymerize) with GMA to form GMA grafted PP. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Polym Sci A: Polym Chem 36: 1053–1063, 1998

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.     

Reactive compatibilization of blends of PET and PP modified by GMA grafting

The melt radical grafting of glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) onto isotactic polypropylene (PP) was carried out in Brabender internal mixer and the influence of reaction procedure, radical initiator concentration and addition of co-monomer (styrene) on the grafting efficiency was examined. The viscosity, the thermal behaviour and melt rheology of PP-g-GMA samples was then analysed as a function of grafted GMA content. Blends of poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) with PP and PP-g-GMA (5.2 wt% GMA), prepared in internal mixer, were characterised by SEM, DSC and melt viscosimetry. The morphological analysis of PET/PP-g-GMA blends (80/20, 50/50 w/w) pointed out a marked improvement of phase dispersion (with particle size of about 0.6 μm for 80/20 blend) and interfacial adhesion, as compared to non-compatibilized PET/PP blend. The results of mixing torque and thermal analysis supported the occurrence of in-situ compatibilization reaction between epoxy groups of GMA modified PP and carboxyl end-groups of PET in the melt.     

Reactive processing of polymers: Effect of bifunctional and tri-functional comonomers on melt grafting of glycidyl methacrylate onto polypropylene

Two reactive comonomers, divinyl benzene (DVB) and trimethylolpropane triacrylate (TRIS), were evaluated for their role in effecting the melt free radical grafting reaction of the monomer glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) onto polypropylene (PP). The characteristics of the GMA-grafting systems in the presence and absence of DVB or TRIS were examined and compared in terms of the yield of the grafting reaction and the extent of the main side reactions, namely homopolymerisation of GMA (poly-GMA) and polymer degradation, using different chemical compositions of the reactive systems and processing conditions. In the absence of the comonomers, i.e. in a conventional system, high initiator concentrations of peroxides were typically required to achieve the highest possible GMA grafting levels which were found to be generally low. Concomitantly, both poly-GMA and degradation of the polymer by chain scission takes place with increasing initiator amounts. On the other hand, the presence of a small amount of the comonomers, DVB or Tris, in the GMA-grafting system, was shown to bring about a significant increase in the grafting level paralleled by a large reduction in poly-GMA and PP degradation. In the presence of these highly reactive comonomers, the optimum grafting system requires a much lower concentration of the peroxide initiator and, consequently, would lead to the much lower degree of polymer degradation observed in these systems. The differences in the effects of the presence of DVB and that of TRIS in the grafting systems on the rate of the GMA-grafting and homopolymerisation reactions, and the extent of PP degradation (through melt flow changes), were compared and contrasted with a conventional GMA-grafting system.     

Styrene-assisted free radical grafting of glycidyl methacrylate onto polyethylene in the melt

Glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) is a very useful monomer as it bears an epoxy group which is capable of reacting with various other functional groups. However, its melt free radical grafting reactivity onto a polymer backbone is low. In this study, we show that the use of styrene (St) as a comonomer greatly promotes both GMA's grafting yield and grafting rate onto polyethylene (PE). It is proposed that, in the presence of St, the dominant mechanism of the free radical grafting of GMA onto PE is that St reacts first with PE secondary macroradicals and the resulting styryl macroradicals then copolymerize with GMA leading to grafted GMA. We also show that the contribution of St is not related to an improved solubility of GMA in the molten PE. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Polym Sci A: Polym Chem 36: 2763–2774, 1998     

Graft copolymerization of maleic anhydride/styrene onto isotactic polypropylene using supercritical CO2

The free‐radical grafting of maleic anhydride (MAH) and styrene (St) onto isotactic polypropylene (iPP) was studied by thermal decomposition of dicumyl peroxide (DCP) using supercritical CO₂ as a solvent and swelling agent. Several effects of molar ratio of monomer, soaking temperature and time, reaction time, and reaction pressure on the graft degree were discussed. It was found that the addition of St to the grafting system as a comonomer could significantly enhance the graft degree of the grafted PP. Under the optimal reaction condition, the maximum of iPP grafting MAH and St in supercritical CO₂ medium was 10.58%. The chemical structures and properties of grafting copolymers were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The results showed that the supercritical CO₂ method had noticeable advantages over the existed method when compared, such as a lower temperature, a higher graft degree, easy separation, and environmentally benign.
