Effect of Molecular Weight on the Properties of Poly（butylene succinate）

Poly（butylene succinate） （PBS） with different molecular weight was synthesized from 1, 4-butanediol and succinic acid by direct melt condensation. The synthesized PBS was identified by IH-NMR and FTIR spectrometry. The molecular weight was calculated from the intrinsic viscosity, and its value was between 20000 and 70000. The crystallization behavior and crystal morphology as function of molecular weight were investigated by DSC and PLM, respectively. The mechanical properties and hydrolytic degradation behaviors related with change of molecular weight were also studied in this work. The results demonstrated that the properties of PBS were determined by both molecular weight and crystallization properties （crystallinity as well as crystal morphology）. Our work is important for the design and preparation of PBS with proper molecular weight for its practical application.

Degradation of poly(ethylene terephthalate)/clay nanocomposites during melt extrusion: Effect of clay catalysis and chain extension

Organoclays with various contents of hydroxyl groups and absorbed ammonium were prepared and compounded with poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET), forming PET/clay nanocomposites via melt extrusion. Dilute solution viscosity techniques were used to evaluate the level of molecular weight of PET/clay nanocomposites. Actually, a significant reduction in PET molecular weight was observed. The level of degradation depended on both the clay structure and surfactant chemistry in organoclays. The composites, based on clay with larger amount of hydroxyl groups on the edge of clay platelets, experienced much more degradation, because the hydroxyl groups acted as Brønsted acidic sites to accelerate polymer degradation. Furthermore, organoclays with different amounts of absorbed ammonium led to different extents of polymer degradation, depending upon the acidic sites produced by the Hofmann elimination reaction of ammonium. In addition, the composite with better clay dispersion state, which was considered as an increasing amount of clay surface and ammonium exposed to the PET matrix, experienced polymer degradation more seriously. To compensate for polymer degradation during melt extrusion, pyromellitic dianhydride (PMDA) was used as chain extender to increase the intrinsic viscosity of polymer matrix; more importantly, the addition of PMDA had little influence on the clay exfoliation state in PET/clay nanocomposites.

4-乙烯基吡啶(4-VP)与1,3-丙烷磺内酯在80℃下反应20h,合成了4-乙烯基-1-(3-磺丙基)吡啶内嗡盐(4-VPPS);并在水溶液中与丙烯酰胺(AM)单体进行自由基共聚合,获得了同时含正负离子基团的磺酸甜菜碱两性离子共聚物P((AM-co-VPPS));采用红外光谱和1H-NMR对共聚物结构和组成进行了表征;进而考察了单体组成、引发剂用量、单体总浓度及反应温度对两性离子共聚物特性黏数的影响.通过考察单体投料比与共聚物组成的关系,利用Finemann-Ross和Kelen-Tudos方法,获得AM和4-VPPS单体对的竞聚率分别为2.01、8.71和1.99、8.44.共聚物溶液性质研究结果表明,P(AM-co-VPPS)在含NaCl和CaCl2的水溶液中的特性黏数都比纯水中的大,表现出明显的反聚电解质行为.特性黏数增加的程度随共聚物中4-VPPS单元的含量和水中盐浓度增加而增大;当共聚物中4-VPPS摩尔含量为10.2%时,其在1mol/LNaCl、2mol/LNaCl和2mol/LCaCl2水溶液中特性黏数与在纯水中相比,分别增加47.3%、56.7%和56.8%.     

Effect of Organic Nano Carboncapsule Incorporated Modified Clay on Fire‐Retardancy of PMMA Nanocomposites

Here we investigate a new type of highly flame retardant poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) nanocomposite by bulk polymerization of methyl methacrylate (MMA) in the presence of organic nano carboncapsule (OCNC/NCNC)‐incorporated modified montmorillonites (CL120, CL42). The morphology of the modified clay was confirmed by X‐ray diffraction (XRD), and Fourier transform infrared (FT‐IR) spectroscopy was used to identify the functional groups in the clay. The nano morphological characterization of the clay in the PMMA matrix was confirmed by XRD and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The thermal and mechanical properties of the PMMA nanocomposites were investigated by thermogravimetry and dynamic mechanical analysis, respectively. PMMA containing organo nano carboncapsule‐doped CL42 modified cocoamphodipropionate (K2) (P‐O‐CL42) could achieve very high thermal stability compared to pristine PMMA. The 5% thermal decomposition temperature (T _5d) increased by 63.2°C. Storage modulus of PMMA nanocomposites measured by DMA analysis. An enhancement of storage modulus and significant reduction in the peak heat release (PHR) rate were observed in the almost all PMMA nanocomposites as compared to pristine PMMA. Moreover, these results suggest that PMMA nanocomposites can have potential applications in the building industry and the medical field.     

New thermally stable polymer with a graphite-type structure

A new thermally stable polymer with a structure resembling that of graphite has been synthesized by the condensation of 1,4,5,8-tetraaminoanthraquinone and 1,3,6,8-tetraketo-1,2,3,6,7,8-hexahydropyrene (naphthalene-1,8,4,5-diindandione). Prepolymers, with an open structure, were soluble to some extent in concentrated sulfuric acid but were more completely solubilized by methanesulfonic acid. The final polymer with a closed-ring structure, which was obtained by heating the prepolymer having an inherent viscosity of 0.4, was completely insoluble in these acids. Elemental analysis indicated that a high degree of cyclization was achieved, and the final polymer showed good thermal stability. Prepolymers with inherent viscosities in the range 0.11–1.58 have been obtained but, usually, a high viscosity was accompanied by a low acid solubility. Prepolymers with an inherent viscosity of 0.4, which were very soluble (>90%) in strong acids, were solubilized to a high degree by reduction with sodium dithionite in alkaline, aqueous dimethylacetamide. The highest molecular weight prepolymer (inherent viscosity of 1.30–1.58) was solubilized to a greater extent in this base mixture than in methanesulfonic acid. However, it was not completely soluble, under the conditions employed. The propolymers of higher molecular weight showed some fiber- and film-forming properties.     

Acid hydrolysis of some industrial pulps: effect of hydrolysis conditions and raw material

Dilute acid hydrolysis of pulps was studied by following the decrease in intrinsic viscosity of preparations of microcrystalline cellulose. The decrease in intrinsic viscosity and the loss of weight during hydrolysis at reaction temperatures of 60 and 80 °C was investigated, using acid concentrations from 0.5 to 4 M and two different acids (HCl and H₂SO₄). The same levelling-off degree of polymerisation (LODP) was reached under all hydrolysis conditions, but a longer time was needed under milder conditions. An appropriate method of determining the intrinsic viscosity at LODP was established and used in this investigation. The greatest difference in LODP was found between a birch prehydrolysed kraft pulp and a mixed hardwood prehydrolysed kraft pulp; the intrinsic viscosities at LODP being 178 and 72 dm³/kg, respectively. The effect of the intrinsic viscosity of a given starting material was also investigated, but only a small difference (10%) in the LODP was found for pulp samples with very different initial intrinsic viscosities.     

Influence of monofunctional reactants on the physical properties of dimer acid‐based polyamides

Dimer acid‐based polyamides were synthesized by condensation polymerization in the absence and presence of monofunctional reactants. Acetic acid, oleic acid and propyl amine were used as monofunctional reactants. The influences of the equivalent percentage (E%) and type of monofunctional reactant on the physical properties of dimer acid‐based polyamides such as glass transition temperature (T_g), melting point (T_m), heat of fusion (ΔH), degree of polymerization (DP), number average molecular weight (M_n), and kinematic viscosity were investigated. The molecular weight and viscosity of dimer acid‐based polyamides decreased with the increase in equivalent percentage of monofunctional reactant. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) studies showed that acetic acid and propyl amine had higher effect on the thermal properties of polyamides than that of oleic acid. In the case of polyamides prepared in the presence of acetic acid, the values of T_g, T_m, and ΔH of the polyamides increased remarkably with the increase in acetic acid content. On the contrary, propyl amine had a decreasing effect on the values of T_g, T_m, and ΔH of the polyamides. Incorporation of oleic acid into the polymer structure had no significant effect on the values of T_g and T_m of the dimer acid‐based polyamides. Copyright © 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Chain extension of adipic acid and (or) succinic acid/butanediol polyesters with 2,2′‐(1,4‐phenylene)‐bis(2‐oxazoline) and adipoylbiscaprolactamate combined chain extenders

This paper provided an easy and flexible method to synthesize high molecular weight polyesters by polycondensation and chain extension. Low molecular weight polybutylene adipate, polybutylene succinate, and poly(butylene succinate‐co‐butylene adipate) (PBSA) were synthesized through melt condensation polymerization from adipic acid and/or succinic acid with butanediol. The prepolyesters obtained had different amount of ? COOH and ? OH terminal groups. Chain extension of them was carried out at 180–240°C using 2,2′‐(1,4‐phenylene)‐bis(2‐oxazoline) and adipoyl biscaprolactamate as combined chain extenders. The influencing factors of the chain extension were studied. At the optimal conditions, chain‐extended polybutylene adipate with M_n up to 39,100, polybutylene succinate with intrinsic viscosity of 0.99 dl/g, and PBSA with intrinsic viscosity from 0.73 to 0.81 dl/g were synthesized. The chain‐extended polyesters were characterized by IR spectrum, ¹H NMR spectrum, differential scanning calorimetry, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), wide angle X‐ray scattering, and tensile test. The thermal analysis showed that chain extension often led to slight decrease of the regularity, the crystallinity, and the melting point. This deterioration of the properties is not harmful enough to impair their thermal properties and obstruct them from being used as biodegradable thermoplastics. The TGA showed that the chain‐extended polyesters were stable with initial decomposition temperature over 354.7°C. The tensile strength of the chain extended PBS and PBSAs with butylene adipate units less than 20 mol% was in the range of 18.95–31.22 MPa. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Some Recent Results on the Synthesis of Certain Aromatic Heterocyclic Polymers

Abstract

Continued research on poly(bisbenzimidazobenzophenanthrolines) from one-step condensation of 1, 4, 5, 8-naphthalene tetracarboxylic (NTA) acid and 3, 3′-diaminobenzidene in polyphosphoric acid (PPA) has led to good-quality fibers with outstanding resistance to high temperatures and Fade-O-Meter aging. The condensation of 4, 5-diamino-1, 8-naphthalene dicarboxylic acid derivatives produces low molecular weight polyperimidines which have good stability. The polyimide from condensation of 1, 1′, 5, 5′-diphenyldianhydride is insoluble in all solvents tried and shows moderate thermal stability. The completely soluble ladder polymer from condensation of 1, 4, 5, 8-naphthalene tetracarboxylic acid with 1,2,4,5-tetraamino benzene in polyphosphoric acid has been obtained in high molecular weight (intrinsic viscosities in methane sulfonic acid at 30°C of over 5 dl/g).

Intercalated linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE)/clay nanocomposites prepared with oxidized polyethylene as a new type compatibilizer: Structural, mechanical and barrier properties

In this study, the use of low molecular weight oxidized polyethylenes (OxPE) with different molecular weight and acid number as a new type of compatibilizer in low density polyethylene (LLDPE)/org-clay nanocomposite preparation was examined. Nanocomposites having 5 phr (part per hundred) org-clay were prepared by melt processing. The effect of compatibilizer polarity and clay dispersion on the thermal, mechanical and barrier properties of the nanocomposites was investigated. It was observed that oxidized polyethylenes created a strong interfacial interaction between the clay layers and polymer phase based on the analysis of the linear viscoelastic behavior of the samples by small amplitude oscillatory rheometry. We showed that physical performance of the nanocomposites is not only affected by clay dispersion but also both melt viscosity and polarity of the oxidized polyethylene compatibilizers. It was found that oxygen permeability values of the nanocomposite samples prepared with the oxidized polyethylenes were lower than that of a sample prepared with conventional compatibilizer, maleic anhydride grafted polyethylene (PE-g-MA).     

Structure of gum arabic and its configuration in solution

Gum arabic was found to have an osmotic molecular weight of 250,000, in agreement with earlier determinations. A molecular weight of 365,000 was found by light scattering, somewhat higher than obtained earlier by sedimentation equilibrium analysis but lower than light-scattering values reported by other investigators. The M?_w/M _n ratio, 1.46, is quite low in gum arabic. The angular dependence of light scattering exhibited the upward curvature to be expected of a spherical molecule and a radius of gyration of about 100 A. or less, as estimated from a Zimm plot. Fractionation of the original gum arabic was done by precipitation of a 0.5% solution in aqueous 0.5% NaCl with acetone. Comparison of the curves of viscosity versus molecular weight and the estimated radius of gyration shows that the hydrodynamic volume is less than that of branched dextran of similar molecular weight. The electroviscous effects for gum arabic in aqueous solution were shown by reduced viscosity curves at various acidities and in salt. The degree of dissociation was calculated for each pH level. The minimum intrinsic viscosity was found in 0.04N HCl where the degree of dissociation at pH 1.5 was found to be 0.049. When the acidity was increased, further reduction in viscosity was found to be negligible. Routine determination of the viscosity and molecular weight of the fractions was done in 0.35M NaCl at pH 10 to which 0.25% of the sodium salt of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid was added as a sequestrant. The intrinsic viscosity in this solvent was nearly as low as in 0.04N HCl. Light-scattering dissymmetries in water and in 0.35M NaCl plus EDTA at pH 10 were similar, 1.13 and 1.09, respectively, which showed that actual expansion of the macroion is not the cause of the large increase in viscosity of gum arabic when the ionic strength of the solvent is reduced. Periodate oxidation of the polymer confirmed the existence of a 1–3-linked backbone of galactose. Subsequent treatment of the oxidized polymer with alkali reduced the osmotic molecular weight to 45,000 but failed to remove oxidized side branches. The oxidized polymer was fractionated by gel permeation chromatography and the intrinsie viscosity–molecular weight relation compared with relations for fractions of the unoxidized polymer and for other branched and crosslinked polymers.     

A new synthetic route of 4,4′-hexafluoroisopropylidene-2,2-bis-(phthalic acid anhydride) and characterization of 4,4′-hexafluoroisopropylidene-2,2-bis-(phthalic acid anhydride)-containing polyimides

The title product 4,4′-hexafluoroisopropylidene-2,2-bis-(phthalic acid anhydride) was prepared from hexafluoroacetone and o-xylene as the starting materials by condensation, oxidation and dehydration three-step reaction sequence. It reacted with diamines in DMF or xylene to give polyimides by condensation polymerization. Thermal and viscosity analyses show that these polyimides have lower molecular weight but excellent thermal stability.

Estimation of aspect ratio of cellulose nanocrystals by viscosity measurement: influence of surface charge density and NaCl concentration

Cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) with similar size and various surface charge densities were prepared by sulfuric acid hydrolysis and NaOH desulfation. The influence of surface charge density and NaCl concentration on the intrinsic viscosity of CNC suspensions and predicted aspect ratio were investigated by Ubbelohde viscometer. With decreased CNC surface charge density, the intrinsic viscosity initially decreased due to the electric double layers on the CNC surface and subsequently increased due to CNC aggregation. To screen electroviscous effect, NaCl was added into CNC suspensions. With increased NaCl concentration, the intrinsic viscosity of CNC suspensions first decreased and then increased. The aspect ratios of CNCs predicted by Batchelor equation from the minimum intrinsic viscosity were consistent with that measured by transmission electron microscopy. Suspensions of CNCs with higher surface charge density needed less NaCl to obtain minimum intrinsic viscosity. The NaCl content that should be added to the suspension to predict the actual physical aspect ratio of CNC can be estimated by Debye–Hückel theory, assuming that the Debye length is equal to the CNC diameter.
