4,4'-二羟基二苯硫醚对聚甲醛结晶和熔融行为的影响

为了探究4,4'-二羟基二苯硫醚(TDP)的添加对聚甲醛(POM)熔融与结晶行为的影响,本文利用熔融共混的方法制备了POM/TDP共混材料。通过差示扫描量热仪(DSC)对共混材料的熔融与结晶行为进行了研究,利用广角X射线衍射仪(WAXD)对共混材料的晶体结构进行了研究。结果表明,在POM中添加TDP后,POM的晶面间距变大,晶体结构变的疏松,使POM的结晶温度(Tc)、结晶焓(ΔHc)、熔融温度(Tm)与熔融焓(ΔHm)均降低。当TDP质量分数增加到30%时,共混物的熔点与结晶温度较纯POM分别下降了15.2和12.8℃。在等温结晶过程中,随着TDP含量的增大,POM完成结晶所需的时间显著加长,共混物的结晶速率逐渐降低,结晶活化能逐渐升高,但TDP的加入对POM的晶型并没有影响。以上结果说明TDP的添加对POM的熔融与结晶行为影响很大,这将为POM结晶行为的调控提供依据。

Replicated Banded Spherulite: Microscopic Lamellar-assembly of Poly(L-lactic acid) Crystals in the Poly(oxymethylene) Crystal Framework

The morphologies of poly(L-lactic acid) (PLLA) spherulites,when crystallized within the pre-existed poly(oxymethylene)(POM) crystal frameworks,have been investigated.PLLA/POM blend is a melt-miscible crystalline/crystalline blend system.Owing to the lower melting point but much faster crystallization rate than PLLA,POM crystallized first upon cooling from the melt state and then melted first during the subsequent heating process in this blend system.Lamellar assembly of PLLA crystals within the pre-existed POM spherulitic frameworks was directly observed with the polarized light microscopy by selectively melting the POM frameworks.The investigation indicated that PLLA crystals fully replicated the spherulitic morphology and optical birefringence of the POM crystal frameworks,which was independent of Tc.On the other hand,POM could also duplicate the pre-existed PLLA morphologies.The result obtained provides us a possibility to design the lamellar assembly and crystal structures of polymer crystals in miscible crystalline/crystalline polymer blends.     

Dependence of the conformation of nascent poly(oxymethylene) on the conditions of cationic polymerization of trioxane in solution

The conformational structure of nascent poly(oxymethylene) (POM) obtained by cationic polymerization of trioxane in nitrobenzene was investigated by i.r. spectroscopy. It was found that the conformational order of this POM depends considerably on the conditions of preparation. Under conditions of simultaneous polymerization and crystallization, “A” polymer, with long sequences of monomer units in regular G conformation, is obtained. Under conditions of successive polymerization and crystallization, the formation of conformational defects in the helical POM chains is favoured. Then, depending on the supersaturation, we obtained either (a) POM of “B” form with short sequences of monomer units in G conformation, or (b) POM of a mixed type, the i.r. spectrum being describable as a superposition of “A” and “B” spectra. The results indicate that, at comparatively high catalyst concentration, the thermodynamical approach for regulation of supermolecular structure of polymers can be applied successfully for regulation of the conformational order of nascent POM also. At lower concentration of active centres in the polymerizing system, kinetic factors affect considerably the conformational structure of nascent POM.     

Effect of Zinc Oxide on Morphology and Mechanical Properties of Polyoxymethylene/Zinc Oxide Composites

This paper studies the effects of zinc oxide (ZnO) on morphology and mechanical properties of pure polyoxymethylene (POM) and POM/ZnO composites. POM/ZnO composites with varying concentration of ZnO were prepared by melt mixing technique in a twin screw extruder. The dispersion of ZnO particles on POM composites was studied by scanning electron microscope (SEM). It is observed that the dispersion of ZnO particles is relatively good. The mechanical properties of the composites such as tensile strength, stress at break, Young's modulus and impact strength were measured. Increasing content of ZnO up to 4.0 wt% increases the impact strength of POM. Addition of ZnO beyond 4.0 wt% decreases the impact strength. The composites containing ZnO content greater than 2.0 wt% show increased Young's Modulus. The tensile strength and stress at break decrease with increasing ZnO content. This may be due to the compatibility between ZnO and POM.     

多壁碳纳米管对聚甲醛性能的影响

将多壁碳纳米管(MWCNTs)和聚甲醛(POM)在转矩流变仪中熔融混合得到POM/MWCNT复合材料.研究了复合材料的形态,导热性能,导电性能,流变性能和结晶性能.结果表明,MWCNTs在没有经过处理的情况下能够均匀地分散在POM基体中;当向POM中添加1.0 wt%含量MWCNTs时,复合材料的导热系数上升到0.5289 W/(K m),比纯POM的导热系数0.198 W/(K m)提高1.5倍,通过有效介质方法(EMA)验证了体系导热系数提高幅度不大的原因是MWCNTs与POM之间形成了很高的界面热阻;当MWCNTs的含量为1.0 wt%时,体系产生了导电逾渗效应,逾渗值在0.5 wt%~1.0 wt%之间;MWCNTs对POM有显著的成核作用,当向POM中添加0.5 wt%含量的MWCNTs时,POM的结晶温度提高6℃左右,但当MWCNTs的添加量进一步增加时,结晶温度几乎不再变化,成核效果呈现"饱和"状态.另外,材料的复数黏度,储能模量和损耗模量随MWCNTs含量的增加而增加.     

Visualization of Two-dimensional Single Chains of Hybrid Polyelectrolytes on Solid Surface

The polyacidic character of polyoxometalate(POM) clusters endows high ionic conductivity, making these clusters good candidates for solar and fuel cells. Covalent bonding of clusters to polymer chains creates poly(POM)s that are polyelectrolytes with both cluster functions and polymer performance. Thus, solution-processable poly(POM)s are expected to be used as key materials in advanced devices. Further understanding of poly(POM)s will optimize the preparation process and improve device performance. Herein, we report a study of the first linear poly(POM)s by directly visualizing the chains using scanning transmission electron microscopy. Compared with traditional polymers, individual clusters of poly(POM)s can be directly visualized because of the resistance to electron-beam damage and the high contrast of the tungsten POM pendants. Thus, cluster aggregates with diverse shapes were observed. Counting the number of clusters in the aggregates allowed the degree of polymerization and molecular weight distribution to be determined, and studying the aggregate shapes revealed the presence of a curved semirigid chain in solution. Further study of shape diversity revealed that strong interactions between clusters determine the diverse chain shapes formed during solution processing. Fundamental insight is critical to understanding the formation of poly(POM) films from solutions as key functional materials, especially for fuel and solar cells.     

Synergistic effect of red phosphorus, novolac and melamine ternary combination on flame retardancy of poly(oxymethylene)

New flame retardant system for poly(oxymethylene) (POM) has been studied. The combination of red phosphorus with novolac and melamine was found to act as an effective flame retardant of POM. The base POM exhibited very low limiting oxygen index (LOI) value of 15.3, while the flame retarded POM gave remarkably high LOI value of 37.5 and UL94 V-1 ranking without dripping at 0.8 mm thickness. The results of cone calorimetry, thermogravimetry and FTIR analysis suggested that the flame retarding mechanism is the intumescent char formation in the condensed phase. Novolac having a phenolic hydroxyl group is miscible with POM, and in the flaming process, red phosphorus yields phosphine and its acidic product such as phosphoric acid due to hydrolysis and oxidation reactions. In addition, all of novolac, melamine and phosphine are able to readily react with formaldehyde generated from POM during burning to give the reinforced and cross-linked char network through the polyaddition and polycondensation reactions. Therefore, the red phosphorus/novolac/melamine ternary combination system could synergistically promote the high flame retardancy of POM without the flaming drips.

TDDFT studies on chiral organophosphonate substituted divacant Keggin-type polyoxotungstate: diplex multistep-redox-triggered chiroptical and NLO switch

We theoretically investigate a novel switching phenomenon based on the divacant Keggin-type polyoxotungstate bearing chiral organophosphonate [{NH(2)CH(CH(3))PO}(2)(γ-SiW(10)O(36))](4-), that is the synchronous chiroptical and nonlinear optical (NLO) switch triggered by redox. The ECD calculations on the Boltzmann weighted conformations of the three oxidation states of this chiral polyoxometalate (POM) clearly present a chiroptical switching process. The electronic transition and the bond-length alternation studies show that the chirality transfer from chiral carbon atom to POM cage increases as the polyanion is reduced. Simultaneously, the static first hyperpolarizability of studied chiral POM quadrupled from the oxidized state to the 1e-reduced state, and is further doubled to the 2e-reduced state, which is mainly due to the increasing electronic-dipole-allowed d-d charge transfer transitions in the POM cage. This work firstly reproduces the ECD spectrum of chiral POM with high accuracy and proves the possibility for confirming the molecular conformations of flexible chiral POMs in solution by the aid of ECD calculations. Most importantly, a sensitive diplex switch based on a chiral POM is predicted in theory, which may aid the design of novel POM-based switches.

Removal of Multiple Contaminants from Water by Polyoxometalate Supported Ionic Liquid Phases (POM‐SILPs)

The simultaneous removal of organic, inorganic, and microbial contaminants from water by one material offers significant advantages when fast, facile, and robust water purification is required. Herein, we present a supported ionic liquid phase (SILP) composite where each component targets a specific type of water contaminant: a polyoxometalate‐ionic liquid (POM‐IL) is immobilized on porous silica, giving the heterogeneous SILP. The water‐insoluble POM‐IL is composed of antimicrobial alkylammonium cations and lacunary polyoxometalate anions with heavy‐metal binding sites. The lipophilicity of the POM‐IL enables adsorption of organic contaminants. The silica support can bind radionuclides. Using the POM‐SILP in filtration columns enables one‐step multi‐contaminant water purification. The results show how multi‐functional POM‐SILPs can be designed for advanced purification applications.     

A new and highly efficient formaldehyde absorbent of polyoxymethylene

A new type of highly efficient formaldehyde (FA) absorbent of polyoxymethylene (POM), hexamethylenediamine–formaldehyde polycondensates (HF) was prepared by the condensation reaction of hexamethylenediamine (HA) and FA. The effects of the synthetic technique including FA/HA molar ratio, reaction temperature and dispersant dosage on the thermal stability of POM/HF were studied, and finely divided, slightly branched HF polycondensates with high molecular weight and relatively high processing thermal stability were obtained. The thermal stabilization effect of HF on POM was studied through the isothermal weight loss analysis, FA emission amount (FEA) measurement, and balance torque analysis, which showed that HF had better thermal stabilization effect on POM than the commonly used FA‐absorbent melamine (MA). In order to improve the crystallization performance and mechanical properties of POM, the nucleation effect of HF on POM was studied by means of polarized light microscopy (PLM), isothermal and nonisothermal differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), indicating that HF had remarkable nucleation effect on POM. The investigation of mechanical properties showed that the addition of HF could improve the impact toughness of POM to a certain degree. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

EFFECT OF PROCESSING METHOD ON THE IMPACT STRENGTH OF POM/TPU/CaCO3 TERNARY COMPOSITES

Polyoxymethylene （POM）/elastomer/filler ternary composites were prepared, in which thermoplastic polyurethane （TPU） and inorganic filler, namely, CaCO3, were used to achieve balanced mechanical properties of POM. The dispersion and phase morphology of POM/elastomer/filler composites were found to depend largely on processing method, CaCO3 content in masterbatch and the filler size. Two processing methods were employed to prepare POM/elastomer/filler ternary composites. One is called the one-step method, in which elastomer and the filler directly melt blended with POM matrix. The other is called the two-step method, in which the elastomer and the filler were mixed to get masterbatch first, which was then melt blended with pure POM of different content. The effect of phase morphology and processing method on impact strength was investigated. It was found that the two-step method results in an increase in impact strength but not for the one-step method. Additionally, the impact strength of POM ternary composites decreases with the increase in the size of CaCO3 particles.     

酚醛树脂的增容作用对聚甲醛/丁腈橡胶共混物的韧性、结晶形态和亚微相态的影响

考察了酚醛树脂(Novolak)的增容作用对聚甲醛(POM)/丁腈橡胶(NBR)共混物的韧性、结晶形态和亚微相态的影响.实验结果表明,POM与NBR不相容,直接共混不能提高POM的韧性;添加Novolak后,当NBR质量分数为40%时共混物发生“脆-韧”转变.POM/NBR共混物中POM球晶尺寸大,易形成应力集中点,导致增韧效果不佳;Novolak可通过与POM的分子链间相互作用,改变POM分子链固有的规程和排列方式,使球晶显著减小.亚微相态显示,POM/NBR呈现“海-岛”结构相态,NBR在基体中分散性很差;添加Novolak可提高NBR在基体中的分散性;当NBR质量分数达到40%时,NBR在基体中呈现带状网络结构.网带结构能够终止受外力作用而在基体中产生的银纹和剪切屈服,增加了共混物的破裂能,从而使共混物的韧性显著提高.     

Integrating 31P DOSY NMR Spectroscopy and Molecular Mechanics as a Powerful Tool for Unraveling the Chemical Structures of Polyoxomolybdate‐Based Amphiphilic Nanohybrids in Aqueous Solution

Novel organic–inorganic hybrids of various sizes were generated by reaction of 1,8‐octanediphosphonic acid (ODP) and (NH₄)₆Mo₇O₂₄ in aqueous solution. The formation of rodlike hybrids with variable numbers of covalently bound ODP and polyoxomolybdate (POM) units can be tuned as a function of increasing (NH₄)₆Mo₇O₂₄ concentration at fixed ODP concentration. The chemical structure of the ODP/POM hybrids was characterized by ¹H, ³¹P, and ⁹⁵Mo NMR spectroscopy. Heteronuclear ³¹P DOSY (diffusion‐ ordered NMR spectroscopy) and molecular mechanics (MM) calculations were applied to determine the size and shape of the nanosized hybrids generated at various ODP/POM ratios. For this purpose, the structures of ODP/POM hybrids with variable numbers of ODP and POM units were optimized by MM and then approximated as cylinder‐shaped objects by using a recently described mathematical algorithm. The thus‐obtained cylinder length and diameter were further used to calculate the expected diffusion coefficients of the ODP/POM hybrids. Comparison of the calculated and experimentally determined diffusion coefficients led to the most probable ODP/POM hybrid length for each sample composition. The ³¹P DOSY results show that the length of the hybrids increases with increasing POM concentration and reaches a maximum corresponding to an average of 8 ODP/7 POM units per chain at a sample composition of 20 mM ODP and 14 mM POM. With excess POM, above the latter concentration, the formation of shorter‐chain hybrids terminated by Mo₇ clusters at one or both ends was evidenced on further increasing the POM concentration. The results demonstrate that the combination of ³¹P DOSY and MM, although virtually unexplored in POM chemistry, is a powerful innovative strategy for the detailed characterization of nanosized organic–inorganic POM‐based hybrids in solution.
