纳米CaCO3改性对医用胶乳制品的影响

纳米CaCO3是20世纪80年代发展起来的一种新型超细固体材料。由于纳米CaCO3的超细微化，其晶体结构和表面电子结构发生变化，产生普通碳酸钙所不具有的量子尺寸效应、小尺寸效应、表面效应和宏观量子效应。也由于纳米CaCO3的超细微化，使其自身存在难以克服的缺点——附聚形成二次结构。如果附聚粒子最终不能被碾碎后分散，就会潜伏下来，成为应力集中点，最终导致改性材料性能的下降，欲充分发挥纳米CaCO3的纳米效应，有必要研究其填充改性的影响因素，从而确立纳米CaCO3填充改性的最佳参数。实验证明：纳米CaCO3表面状态、含量、表面处理剂用量、纳米CaCO3表面活化改性时搅拌时间都对纳米CaCO3填充改性的效果产生影响。     

以多孔CaCO3微球为模板制备聚乙烯超疏水表面

以聚苯乙烯磺酸钠（PSS）掺杂的多孔碳酸钙（CaCO3）微球层为模板,通过热压低密度聚乙烯（LDPE）并结合酸蚀刻的方法制得了具有多层粘联微球结构、而非常见蜂窝状多孔结构的LDPE稳定超疏水表面（接触角152.8±2.5°,滚动角约6°）。元素分析表明,表面粘联微球为纯LDPE而非LDPE包覆的CaCO3。将多孔CaCO3微球稀疏地撒在LDPE表面并加热熔融,发现微球会自发沉降到熔体内部,酸蚀刻后形成了类似莲蓬的表面微结构,即坑内包含小球。结合CaCO3微球生成原理和多孔结构,认为粘联微球结构和莲蓬结构均是由于LDPE熔融大分子自发沉积到多孔CaCO3微球内部,“反模”形成了LDPE微球所致。本发现为多孔CaCO3微球的应用开辟了新方向。

Structure,morphology, and properties of LDPE/sepiolite nanofiber nanocomposite

Sepiolite (SEP) nanofibers have been modified by grafting with poly(pentaerythritol diphosphonate dichloride‐hexamethylendiamine) (PSPHD) and compounded with low density polyethylene (LDPE) to form a nanocomposite. The various modified SEPs were characterized by X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and thermogravimetric analysis. The Fourier transform infrared and X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy tests show that covalent bonding exists between SEP fiber and modifiers. The nanoscale size and morphologies of SEP fiber and modified SEP nanofibers can be observed clearly by TEM. The thermogravimetric analysis results reveal that the multi‐step thermal degradation process of SEP fiber is changed by grafting modification. The various LDPE/SEP nanocomposites were characterized by scanning electron micrograph, TEM, dynamic mechanical analysis, and tensile test. The results suggest that a good interfacial modification effect has been obtained between PSPHD‐SEP and LDPE matrix. A particular improvement in tensile strength is reflected in tensile tests. Dynamic mechanical analysis shows that the storage moduli (E') of PSPHD‐SEP/LDPE nanocomposites are much higher than that of neat LDPE and a‐SEP/LDPE systems.

SYNERGISTIC MODIFICATION OF EPDM AND CROSSLINKING AGENT IN IMMISCIBLE BLENDS OF POLYVINYL CHLORIDE WITH LOW DENSITY POLYETHYLENE

The synergism of ethylene-propylene-diene monomer copolymer （EPDM） and dicumyl peroxide （DCP, a crosslinking agent） in low density polyethylene （LDPE）/poly（vinyl chloride） （PVC） blends was investigated. When EDPM and DCP are added to the blends simultaneously, the tensile properties could be improved significantly, especially for the blends with LDPE matrix. For example, incorporation of 10/1 （mass ratio） EPDM/DCP improves the tensile strength of the LDPE/PVC （mass ratio 80/20） blend from 7.9 MPa to 8.5 MPa and the elongation at break from 25% to 503%. Results from selective extraction, phase-contrast microscopy and thermal analysis reveal that the improvement in the tensile properties of the blends with LDPE matrix is principally due to the formation of a fine crosslinking network of the LDPE and EPDM phase. The outstanding modification effect of EPDM is explained by its dual functions： molecular entanglement with LDPE and the enhanced efficiency of DCP in the blends.     

Effect of sol-gel derived nano-silica and organic peroxide on the thermal and mechanical properties of low-density polyethylene/wood flour composites

The influence of nano-silica, synthesized and mixed with low-density polyethylene (LDPE) through a sol-gel process, on the thermal and mechanical properties of LDPE and LDPE/wood flour (WF) composites, prepared in the absence and presence of dicumyl peroxide, was investigated. Scanning electron microscopic (SEM) analyses show a uniform dispersion of silica nano-particles of size 10-50 nm in the matrix, and Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopic results indicated interaction between the nano-silica and the LDPE matrix, which seems to improve for samples prepared in the presence of dicumyl peroxide (DCP). WF and nano-silica, as well as the presence of DCP during sample preparation, substantially improve the thermal stability of the LDPE matrix. The tensile strength of the samples decreased with increasing wood flour content, while the tensile modulus substantially increased. The presence of nano-silica gave rise to lower values for both tensile strength and tensile modulus, while higher tensile strength (and an increase in tensile strength with WF content) is observed for samples prepared in the presence of DCP. The tensile modulus increases with increasing WF content, but is not substantially influenced by the presence of nano-silica or by sample preparation in the presence of DCP. The DMA results were in line with the tensile results.

Effect of crosslinking on the properties of composites based on LDPE and conducting organic filler

New types of composites were prepared using low-density polyethylene (LDPE) filled with modified organic filler, Canadian switch grass coated with polypyrrole (PPy). The grass surface was entirely covered when 10 wt.% of pyrrole was used for the modification, as confirmed by scanning electron microscopy and infrared spectroscopy. LDPE composites filled with modified grass were prepared by melt mixing and their properties were compared with the properties of the composites filled with unmodified grass. The influence of crosslinking, induced by 1 wt.% of peroxide, on mechanical, thermal and electrical properties of the composites was investigated. Crosslinking enhanced the tensile strength of the prepared composites in the entire range of the filler content. The Young’s modulus of the composites prepared by crosslinking is slightly lowered when compared with the uncrosslinked composites if the filler content is less than 60 wt.%, for higher filler content it is increased. The conductivity of the uncrosslinked composites containing 40 wt.% of grass modified by PPy was in the range 1 × 10⁻⁶ S cm⁻¹, which is a value by 5 orders of magnitude higher than the conductivity of the crosslinked materials. The presence of PPy on grass surface leads to a reduction of crosslinking of the LDPE matrix.     

Effects of epoxidized natural rubber as a compatibilizer in melt compounded natural rubber-organoclay nanocomposites

Nanocomposites containing natural rubber (NR) as matrix, epoxidized natural rubber (ENR) as compatibilizer and organophilic layered clay (organoclay) as filler were produced in an internal mixer and cured using a conventional sulphuric system. The effects of ENR with 25 (ENR 25) and 50 mol% epoxidation (ENR 50), respectively, were compared at 5 and 10 parts per hundred rubber (phr) concentrations. The organoclay content was fixed at 2 phr. Cure characteristics, clay dispersion, (thermo)mechanical properties of the nanocomposites were determined and discussed. Incorporation of ENR and organoclay strongly affected the parameters which could be derived from Monsanto MDR measurements. Faster cure and increased crosslink density were attributed to changes in the activation/crosslinking pathway which was, however, not studied in detail. The organoclay was mostly intercalated according to X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopic (TEM) results. The best clay dispersion was achieved by adding ENR 50. This was reflected in the stiffness of the nanocomposites derived from both dynamic mechanical thermal analysis (DMTA) and tensile tests. The tensile and tear strengths of the ENR 50 containing nanocomposites were also superior to the ENR 25 compatibilized and uncompatibilized stocks.     

Effects of Epoxidation Content of ENR on Morphology and Mechanical Properties of Natural Rubber Blended PVC

This research work has concerned a study on toughness of PVC/natural rubber (NR) blends compatibilized with epoxidized natural rubber (ENR). The aim of this work was to investigate the effect of degree of epoxidation on morphology and mechanical properties of the blends. Epoxidized natural rubber with a variety of epoxidation contents were prepared by reacting the NR latex with formic acid and hydrogen peroxide at various chemical contents. Chemical structure and epoxidation content of epoxidized natural rubber were evaluated by FTIR and ¹H-NMR techniques. After that, three grades of ENR with epoxidation contents of 15, 25 and 42 % (by mole) were further used for blending with PVC and NR in an internal mixer at 60 rpm and at 170 °C. From tensile and impact tests, it was found that tensile elongation and impact strength of the materials remarkably increased with degree of epoxidation. On the other hand, tensile strength and modulus of the materials rarely changed with the epoxidation content. An increase in toughness of the blends with epoxidation content was related to a better molecular interaction between PVC and ENR as suggested by torque-time curves of the materials.     

Investigation of polyethylene‐grafted‐maleic anhydride presence as a compatibilizer on various properties of nanocomposite films based on polyethylene/ethylene vinyl alcohol/ nanoclay

High oxygen barrier films were prepared based on low‐density polyethylene (LDPE)/ethylene vinyl alcohol (EVOH)/ nanoclay and polyethylene‐grafted‐maleic anhydride (LDPE‐g‐MA) as a compatibilizer. Box–Behnken statistical experiment design methodology was employed to study the effects of nanoclay, LDPE‐g‐MA, and EVOH presence and their contents on various properties of the final films. The R² parameter varied between 0.89 and 0.99 for all the obtained responses. The morphology of the samples was evaluated. Results of oxygen transfer rate (OTR) test indicated that the addition of EVOH up to 30 wt% to neat LDPE can decrease oxygen permeability significantly. The addition of nanoclay also decreased the permeability of resulting films but, LDPE‐g‐MA reduced the permeability of the films only at an optimal content. Elastic modulus was increased with the addition of nanoclay, EVOH, and LDPE‐g‐MA to the matrix. An increase in EVOH content in the samples improved the tensile strength. Effect of nanoclay on tensile strength was highly dependent on the presence of a compatibilizer. The addition of compatibilizer to the samples and increasing its content enhanced the tensile strength of the specimens. Incorporation of nanoclay, EVOH, and LDPE‐g‐MA to the LDPE matrix and increasing the amount of these components in the samples led to higher storage modulus, zero shear rate viscosity, and shear thinning exponent, but, lowered the terminal slope and the frequency of intersection point of storage modulus (G′) and loss modulus (G″). The only exception was that EVOH increment resulted in a lower shear thinning exponent. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
