Structural effects on thermal properties and morphology in XLPE

This study investigated the morphological, thermal and mechanical changes with increasing crosslink density for two low density polyethylenes (LDPE). A reference LDPE was compared with an LDPE containing a higher number of vinyl groups that was introduced via a copolymerisation with a diene. During crosslinking, two reactions simultaneously occur in the copolymer, i.e. a reaction of the vinyl groups and combination crosslinking. After crosslinking with a low amount of peroxide, the majority of the crosslinks originate from reacted vinyl groups in the LDPE containing the higher number of vinyl groups, whereas the crosslinks in the reference LDPE originate from combination crosslinking, thus leading to different crosslinked structures for the two polymers. The melt temperature, crystallisation temperature, and degree of crystallinity were measured using a Differential Scanning Calorimeter. Thermal fractionation studies and morphology studies were also made. The Differential Scanning Calorimetry results show a decrease in those properties for both materials along with a concurrent change in the morphology when the crosslink density increased. The results deviate slightly between the materials.     

Rheological investigation of the influence of molecular structure on natural and accelerated UV degradation of linear low density polyethylene

Metallocene and Ziegler-Natta (ZN) linear low density polyethylenes (LLDPEs) of different branch types and contents as well as linear high density polyethylene (HDPE) were exposed to natural and accelerated weather conditions. The degree of UV degradation of exposed samples was measured by rheological techniques and results were compared with unexposed polymers. Dynamic shear measurements were performed in an ARES rheometer in the linear viscoelastic range. The degree of enhancement or reduction in viscosity and elasticity was used as a measure of the degree of cross-linking or chain scission, respectively. The degradation results of LLDPE suggest that both cross-linking and chain scission are taking place. Chain scission dominated the degradation at high levels of short chain branching (SCB) and long exposure times. The degradation mechanism of m-LLDPE and ZN-LLDPE is similar; however, m-LLDPE showed a higher degradation rate than ZN-LLDPE of similar M_w and average SCB. ZN-LLDPE was found to be more stable than a similar m-LLDPE. Comonomer type had little influence on degradation. Dynamic shear rheology was very useful in revealing the influence of different molecular parameters and it exposed the degradation mechanism.     

Free‐volume variation in polyethylenes of different crystallinities: Positron lifetime,density, and X‐ray studies

High‐quality positron lifetime measurements (70 million total counts) are reported for polyethylenes (PEs) of different crystallinities (X_c = 3–82%). The specific volumes of the crystalline and amorphous phases (V_c and V_a, respectively) were estimated from density and wide‐angle X‐ray scattering (WAXS) experiments. Some samples (those with low values of X_c) were branched PEs, and those with high values of X_c were linear PEs for which X_c was varied with changes in the crystallization temperature. Both V_c and V_a increase with decreasing X_c in the range 0% ≤ X_c ≤ 56% (the branched PEs) but are constant for X_c ≥ 56% (the linear PEs). The lifetime spectra were analyzed with the MELT and LIFSPECFIT routines. Artifacts that can appear in the spectrum analysis were checked via an analysis of computer‐generated spectra. Four lifetime components appeared in all of the PEs; the two long‐lived ones are attributed to pick‐off annihilation of ortho‐positronium (o‐Ps) in crystalline regions (τ₃) and in holes of the amorphous phase (τ₄). With increasing X_c, τ₃ decreases from about 1.2 to 1 ns, τ₄ decreases from 3.0 to 2.5 ns, and the intensity I₄ decreases from 29 to 0%. An increase in I₃ from 6 to 12% was observed. A comparison with simulations shows that the true I₃ value approaches 0 for X_c → 0%. The decrease in I₄ is weaker than the increase in X_c; this leads to the conclusion that the apparent specific o‐Ps yield in the amorphous phase I₄^Xc increases with X_c. Possible reasons for this surprising results are discussed. The fractional free hole volume [h = (V_a ? V_occ)/V_a, where V_occ is the crystalline occupied volume] was estimated from density and WAXS results. Between X_c = 0 and 56%, h decreases from 0.151 to 0.090, but it does not change further above X_c = 56%. The mean size (v) of the local free volumes (holes) estimated from τ₄ decreases from 200 to 150 ų. The number density of holes (N_h) calculated from these values (N_h = h/v) also decreases from 0.8 to 0.6 nm^?3 in the range 0% ≤ X_c ≤ 56%. The values of V_a, V_c, h, and N_h increase with an increasing degree of branching but do not vary for linear PEs. The possible influence of a crystalline–amorphous interfacial phase (three‐phase model) on the observed lifetime parameters is also discussed. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Thermal diffusivity measurement of polyethylene melt by a new temperature wave method

Thermal diffusivity of high density polyethylene (PE) has been measured by a new a. c. Joule-heating method. The diffusivity was determined at various temperatures between room temperature and above melting point in heating and cooling processes. This method is based on the phase shift of temperature waves across film sample, so that it offers several advantages, e.g., easy measuring in polymer melts.     

Nonisothermal crystallization kinetics and melting behavior of bimodal medium density polyethylene/low density polyethylene blends

Nonisothermal crystallization kinetics and melting behavior of bimodal-medium-density- polyethylene (BMDPE) and the blends of BMDPE/LDPE were studied using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) at various scanning rates. The Avrami analysis modified by Jeziorny and a method developed by Mo were employed to describe the nonisothermal crystallization process of BMDPE. The BMDPE DSC data were analyzed by the theory of Ozawa. Kinetic parameters such as the Avrami exponent (n), the kinetic crystallization rate constant (Z_c), the peak temperatures (T_p) and the half-time of crystallization (t_1/2) etc. were determined at various scanning rates. The appearance of double melting peaks and the double crystallization peaks in the heating and cooling DSC curves of BMDPE/LDPE blends indicated that the BMDPE and LDPE could crystallize respectively.     

Compatibilizing effect of isocyanate functional group on polyethylene terephthalate/low density polyethylene blends

To evaluate the compatibilizing effects of isocyanate (NCO) functional group on the polyethylene terephthalate/low density polyethylene (PET/LDPE) blends, LDPE grafted with 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate-isophorone diisocyanate (LDPE-g-HI) was prepared and blended with PET. The chemical reaction occurred during the melt blending in the PET/LDPE-g-HI blends was confirmed by the result of IR spectra. In the light of the blend morphology, the dispersions of the PET/LDPE-g-HI blends were very fine over the PET/LDPE blends. DSC thermograms indicated that PET microdispersions produced by the slow cooling of the PET/LDPE-g-HI blends were largely amorphous, with low crystallinity, due to the chemical bonding. The tensile strengths of the PET/LDPE-g-HI blends were higher than those of the PET/LDPE blends having a poor adhesion. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

茂金属聚乙烯和低密度聚乙烯共混物的流变行为

研究了茂金属催化乙烯丁烯1共聚物mPE和LDPE共混物的流变行为.测定了一系列共混物的稳态剪切粘度和动态粘弹性,用改进Cross模型拟合实验数据.mPE的零切粘度η₀较小,从牛顿型转变为非牛顿型所需的剪切速率较大,转变应力较高,在挤出加工剪切速率范围内熔体粘度高,对剪切敏感性差,这是由于它有较低的重均分子量、窄的分子量分布(M_w/M_n=21)所致.对于对数加和规律,共混物η₀在mPE/LDPE为50/50和25/75时有强烈的正偏差,这是由于共混物自由体积减小所致.共混物的转变应力τ^*和非牛顿指数n随LDPE加入量增大而降低,表明共混物对剪切的敏感性提高,加工性得到改善.G'和G”的一致性说明mPE和LDPE共混是相容的.     

EFFECT OF PAN-MILLING ON RHEOLOGICAL PROPERTIES OF HIGH DENSITY POLYETHYLENE*

The effect of pan-milling on the rheological properties of high density polyethylene (HDPE) was studied. Aninnovative milling apparatus, viz. an inlaid pan-mill, was used. Melt indexer, capillary rheometer, Haake Rheocord 90 single-screw extruder and Brabender rheometer were used to evaluate the rheologieal properties of HDPE. HDPE with higher initialmolecular weight and larger particle size was easier to degrade under pan-milling stress, as indicated by the melt index.Pressure oscillation in capillary flow occurred at significantly higher shear stress and shear rate for milled HDPE than forunmilled HDPE. The apparent shear viscosity of HDPE decreased with increasing times of milling. After milling, the flowactivation energy decreased and thus the sensitivity of viscosity to temperature was reduced. Die pressure and torque duringsingle screw extrusion were reduced significantly after milling. Plasticizing time as measured in a Brabander mixer decreasedmarkedly with increasing milling times.     

Surface treatment of LLDPE and LDPE blends by nitric acid,sulfuric acid,and chromic acid etching

Surface treatment of linear low density polyethylene and low density polyethylene blends is investigated herein using nitric acid, sulfuric acid, and chromic acid. These chemical treatments not only make the surface rough but also introduce polar groups. A new method, “sulfonic groups index” (SI) is employed to quantify the newly generated polar groups in the wavenumber of 1,250–840 cm⁻¹ in the Fourier transform infrared spectra. The SI values effectively indicate that the most polar groups are incorporated into the chromic acid-etched samples among the three inorganic acids, which is also confirmed by scanning electron microscopy and roughness tests. Besides, annealing treatment can enhance the crystallinity X _c of all etched samples which plays a predominant role in the increase of roughness within 2 h. As etching time increases, chain scission and destruction of amorphous parts happen and roughness increases a lot for chromic acid-treated samples, but for sulfuric acid- and nitric acid-treated samples, the destruction of amorphous parts may not happen so that the roughness has not many changes.     

On the compatibility of low density polyethylene/hydrolyzed collagen blends. II: New compatibilizers

Compatibility/compatibilization of low density polyethylene (LDPE) and hydrolyzed collagen (HC) in the presence of some reactive compatibilizing agents (CA), like acrylic acid functionalized low density polyethylene (LDPE-g-AAc) and bismaleinimide-functionalized low density polyethylene (LDPE-g-BMI) have been discussed. It has been established that, by 20-30 wt% HC incorporation in LDPE matrix, in the presence of LDPE-g-AAc and LDPE-g-BMI compatibilizing agents, materials with good mechanical and surface properties can be obtained. Because of the high reactivity of bismaleinimide, the efficacity of LDPE-g-BMI as a compatibilizing agent is higher than that of LDPE-g-AAc.
