1,2-丙二醇水溶液玻璃化转变与结构松弛

为了考察水含量对1, 2-丙二醇水溶液玻璃化转变和结构松弛参数的影响, 用差示扫描量热法(DSC), 测量了5种高浓度1, 2-丙二醇水溶液(60%、70%、80%、90%、100%, w)玻璃化转变区域的表观比热容. 用5种降温速率(1、2、5、10、20 K·min-1)和10 K·min-1的升温速率获得玻璃化转变的相关参数. 玻璃化转变温度分析结果表明, 虽然水含量增加能从总体上降低体系的玻璃化转变温度, 但与纯羟基类多元醇相比, 水对1, 2-丙二醇的增塑作用并不显著. 结构松弛活化能计算结果表明, 体系水含量的增加能明显降低结构松弛活化能. 脆度分析结果表明, 随着体系水含量增加, 动力学脆度逐渐降低, 但热力学脆度是先升高后降低, 在80%左右达到最大值. 结构松弛协同重排域计算结果表明, 当浓度由60%增加至100%时, 玻璃化转变特征长度由2.79 nm增加至3.57 nm.     

木糖醇玻璃焓松弛的量热分析

为了考察木糖醇的玻璃化转变和焓松弛行为,寻求碳链长度对线性多元醇玻璃化转变和焓松弛行为的影响,利用差示扫描量热(DSC)技术测定了不同降温速率下木糖醇在玻璃化转变温度(Tg)前后的比热容(Cp),通过曲线拟合获得了TNM(Tool-Narayanaswamy-Moynihan)模型参数,并和其他多元醇类已有研究结果进行对照.结果表明,尽管TNM模型可以很好地重现不同降温速率体系的实验比热容数据,但模型参数并不是材料常数,而是和热历史有关,不同的降温速率对应不同的模型参数.指前因子(A)、非线性参数(x)和非指数参数(β)均随着降温速率的增加而降低,松弛活化焓(△h*)的变化趋势刚好相反.几种线性多元醇玻璃化转变和TNM模型参数的对照表明,玻璃化转变温度,松弛活化焓和动力学脆度(m)都随着烷基碳链长度的增加而增加.虽然非线性参数、非指数参数随碳链长度的增加有降低的趋势,但木糖醇展现出反常变化的情形.     

退火条件对山梨醇玻璃焓松弛参数的影响

采用差示扫描量热法(DSC)测定山梨醇样品经历不同时间(t_a)等温退火后, 以10 K·min^-1速率进行升温时玻璃化转变温度(T_g)前后的比热容(C_p(T)). 将Gómez Ribelles (GR)提出的一种基于构型熵的现象学模型用于描述山梨醇玻璃的焓松弛行为, 考察GR模型能否适用于小分子玻璃体系. 结果表明, 单组GR模型参数拟合的曲线均能较好重现对应热历史条件下的山梨醇体系的实验所得C_p(T)曲线, 尽管并未找到不随热历史而变的一组参数作为材料常数, 但与其它现象学模型应用于小分子玻璃时, 其模型参数都随热历史变化而变化的特点相比, GR模型的某些参数基本保持不变. 且在较长退火时间下拟合得到的模型参数普适性较好. 同经历连续降温的山梨醇相比, 等温退火过程得到的松弛极限态参数(δ)的平均值与T_g处比热容增量(ΔC_p(T_g))的比值明显增大, 但仍小于聚合物的值, 表明GR模型提出的亚稳极限态对小分子玻璃的影响值得商榷.     

丙三醇浓溶液玻璃化转变与结构松弛参数DSC分析

In order to examine the effects of water contents and heating/cooling rates on the glass transition and the structure relaxation parameters of glycerol/water mixtures, five aqueous solutions (60%, 70%, 80%, 90% and 100%) were investigated using the differential scanning calorimetry. Four scanning rates (10, 15, 20, 25 K/min) were used to obtain the glass transition parameters. The fitting results of plasticization constants indicated that Gordon-Taylor relationship could not be used effectively without considering scanning rates and that point on calorimetric step was chosen as the glass transition temperature. The specific heat changes during glass transition processes were relative not only to water content but also to heating rates. With the increasing of water contents in glycerol aqueous solutions, the structure relaxation activation energies and dynamic fragilities were decreased. Since the thermodynamic fragilities were increased with the increasing of water content, so the dynamic fragility and thermodynamic fragility were changed inversely if the water contents were changed in glycerol/water mixtures.     

基于位形熵模型的山梨醇玻璃焓松弛的量热分析

利用DSC技术考察了无定形山梨醇体系的焓松弛行为, 在10 K•min^－1的升温速率下测定了经历不同降温速率(0.5～20 K•min^－1)的山梨醇在玻璃化转变(T_g)前后的比热容[c_p(T)]. 利用基于位形熵演变的焓松弛现象学模型(GR模型)模拟了实验数据. 不论是否假设松弛过程存在一个亚稳极限态, 模型参数均能很好地重现经历不同热历史体系的升温c_p(T)曲线. 在物理意义明确的模型参数组中, 除了非指数参数随降温速率的增加而增加外, 其余均不随热历史的变化而变化. 拟合较低降温速率下c_p(T)曲线获得的GR模型参数的预测力明显好于在较大降温速率下获得的结果. 由于松弛时间对拟合过程中选择的“固定参数”的取值很敏感, 因此模型能否预测体系的比热容不能看成确定松弛时间的唯一依据. 在利用GR模型分析无定形山梨醇体系的脆度时, 如果选择极限假想温度作为T_g, 会导致计算结果明显小于文献值.     

丙三醇水溶液玻璃结构松弛现象学研究

为了考察水含量对丙三醇水溶液玻璃体结构松弛行为的影响，利用差示扫描量热法(DSC)测量了五种高浓度丙三醇水溶液的玻璃化转变温度和玻璃化转变区域的比热容，利用TNM模型进行了结构松弛的现象学分析. 松弛时间的分析结果表明，水溶液玻璃中水含量越高，则松弛过程越快. TNM模型的计算结果表明，随着水含量的增加，玻璃体系的结构松弛活化能和非指数参数都有逐渐降低的趋势，而非线性参数和指前因子逐渐增加.

为考察不同链结构的聚乳酸在物理老化过程中聚集态结构的变化 ,分别在 0℃、2 5℃、37℃对聚 (D ,L 乳酸 ) (PDLLA)、非晶态的低左旋度聚 (L 丙交酯 ) (l PLLA)和左旋聚 (L 丙交酯 ) (PLLA)进行长达 6个月的物理老化 ,用温度调制式差示扫描量热法 (MDSC)研究了它们在物理老化过程中的玻璃化转变行为的变化 .结果表明 ,PDLLA和l PLLA对物理老化十分敏感 ,在一定老化温度下 ,它们的玻璃化转变温度 (Tg)随老化时间延长向高温移动 ,老化过程中产生的非可逆热焓 (ΔHnon)逐渐增加 ,这种趋势在老化 1w内变化明显 ,随后趋缓 ;而老化温度越高 ,Tg 升高和ΔHnon增加的速率都越快 .不同温度下老化 ,PDLLA和l PLLA的ΔHnon 与老化时间的对数都有较好的线性关系 ,ΔHnon的变化速率对温度的倒数作图 ,l PLLA的斜率绝对值比PDLLA的略大 ,说明有较高立构规整性的分子链形成物理缠结需要较高的活化能 .PLLA由于结晶度高而非晶相含量较低 ,未观察到明显的玻璃化转变及其在物理老化过程中的变化 .     

调制差示扫描量热法研究玻璃化转变温度

对比了DSC与MDSC试验技术的差别， 列举了MDSC的优点，MDSC不但可以给出普通DSC的所有信息，而且给出更多的普通DSC无法提供的信息。MDSC特别适合于复杂转变、弱的转变分析，可以寻找出隐藏在熔融及结晶过程中的玻璃化转变。MDSC对于试验条件的选择比较苛刻，在选择好基本的试验参数的前提下，还需要设置调制周期、调制振幅等参数。     

用DSC研究1,2-丙二醇及其水溶液的协同松弛行为

为了验证基于位形熵的非线性Adam-Gibbs协同松弛模型(AGV)能否用于描述小分子氢键液体的协同松弛行为, 利用差示扫描量热法(DSC)测量了连续升降温条件下1,2-丙二醇及其四种水溶液在115～230 K之间的比热容, 利用曲线拟合技术获得AGV模型参数. 结果表明, AGV模型可以重现体系的实验比热容数据. 1,2-丙二醇表现出与其水溶液明显不同的松弛行为, 但水含量的变化对松弛行为的影响并不明显. 利用AGV方法和Johari方法分别对协同重排活化能(Δμ')和协同重排域(CRR)尺寸(z*)作了分析. 只有选择比聚合物大得多的某一协同重排位形数, 以AGV方法得到的z*才不至于没有物理意义. Johari方法的分析结果表明, T_g温度下1,2-丙二醇的CRR内有约3个分子, 但对应的协同重排位形数(W*)却较聚合物高出很多. Donth的基于热力学温度波动理论的分析表明, 1,2-丙二醇及其水溶液的CRR尺寸随组分的变化趋势可与Δμ'和非指数参数的分析结果相吻合, 但得到的1,2-丙二醇的CRR内有约350个分子, 从而和Johari的分析结果产生巨大差别.     

Glass transition and enthalpy relaxation of ethylene glycol and its aqueous solution

Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and cryomicroscopy were employed to investigate the glass transition and enthalpy relaxation behaviors of ethylene glycol (EG) and its aqueous solution (50% EG) with different crystallization percent. Isothermal crystallization method was used in devitrification region to get different crystallinity after samples quenched below glass transition temperature. The DSC thermograms upon warming showed that the pure EG has a single glass transition, while the 50% EG solution has two if the solution crystallized partially. It is believed that the lower temperature transition represents the glass transition of bulk amorphous phase of EG aqueous solution glass state, while the higher one is related to ice inclusions, whose mobility is restricted by ice crystal. Cryomicroscopic observation indicated that the EG crystal has regular shape while the ice crystal in 50% EG aqueous solution glass matrix has no regular surface. Isothermal annealing experiments at temperatures lower than T_g were also conducted on these amorphous samples in DSC, and the results showed that both the two amorphous phases presented in 50% EG experience enthalpy relaxation. The relaxation process of restricted amorphous phase is more sensitive to annealing temperature.     

Calorimetric Studies on Enthalpy Relaxation in Maltitol Glass Transition Based on Phenomenological Models

To investigate the enthalpy relaxation behavior of maltitol glass system, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) was used to obtain the specific heat capacity[C_p(T)] near the glass transition temperature(T_g) at different coo- ling rates ranged between 1 and 20 K/min. Three phenomenological models of enthalpy relaxation, Tool-Narayanaswamy-Moynihan(TNM) model, Adam-Gibbs-Vogel(AGV) model and Gómez Ribelles(GR) model, were used to simulate the experimental data. The models’ parameters were obtained via a curve-fitting method. The results indicate that TNM and AGV models gave the almost identical prediction powers and can reproduce the curves of experimental C_p(T) very well. However, the prediction power of GR model evolved from configurational entropyapproach is not so good as those of TNM and AGV models. In particular, the metastable limit state parameter(δ) introduced by Gómez Ribelles has insignificant effect on the enthalpy relaxation of the small molecular hydrogen-bonding glass system.     

Enthalpy relaxation in an epoxy-cycloaliphatic amine resin

Enthalpy relaxation in a system containing the diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A (DGEBA) resin and a diamine, 1,3-bisaminomethylcyclohexane (1,3-BAC) as curing agent, has been investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Samples fully cured were annealed at temperature T_g–15 °C for periods of time from 1 h to a maximum of 168 h. The enthalpy relaxation is analyzed by the peak shift method, in which the sample is heated at 10 °C/min following cooling at various rates through the glass transition region. The key parameters of structural relaxation determined were the non-linearity parameter x=0.47 ± 0.02, the apparent activation energy Δh*=1264 ± 48 kJ/mol or Δh*/R=152 ± 6 kK and the non-exponentiality parameter β ≈ 0.3. The results, obtained by the same method, were compared with those for other systems based on fully cured DGEBA. The correlations among these parameters with the peak shift model should be considered with caution. However, the results show that a correlation between crosslink lengths and the value of Δh* can be considered. The relaxation process for DGEBA/1,3-BAC proves to be highly cooperative.

Glass transition investigated by a combined protocol using thermostimulated depolarization currents and differential scanning calorimetry

Relaxation times of bisphenol A polycarbonate around the glass transition temperature are estimated using the combination of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermostimulated depolarization currents (TSDC). These measurements are performed using samples with different thermal histories below and above the vitrification transformation. This protocol enables the extension of the range of equilibrium relaxation times measured by dielectric spectroscopy. By this mean we may recalculate the values of the Kauzmann temperature and fragility index.
