Investigation of the optical anisotropy of PET and PEN films by VIS-FUV to IR spectroscopic ellipsometry

In the last years, a significant amount of research is being performed in the field of polymer research for novel applications, such as flexible electronic devices, photovoltaic cells, high performance optics, data storage, etc. Toward this direction, in this work, the optical anisotropy of biaxially stretched poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) and poly(ethylene naphthalate) (PEN) films has been extensively investigated. The optical properties of the films have been studied in terms of their optical, electronic and vibrational response, by Fourier transform IR spectroscopic ellipsometry (FTIRSE) (900-3500 cm⁻¹) and Vis-fUV variable angle SE (1.5-6.5 eV) techniques. The films optical anisotropy is the result of the stretching procedure during their fabrication, which results to the structural rearrangement of the macromolecular chains parallel to the stretching direction and to a higher structural symmetry. During the SE spectra analysis, the films have been approximated as uniaxial materials with their optic axis parallel to the sample/ambient interface leading to the accurate determination of the principal components ?_||(ω) and ?_⊥(ω) of the dielectric function ?(ω). The detailed study of the electronic transitions has been performed in the Vis-fUV region, where the characteristic features corresponding to the n → π* electronic transitions of the carbonyl -CO group and the ¹A_1g → ¹B_1u transition due to the π → π* excitation of the π-electron structures have been identified and analysed. Furthermore, the FTIRSE spectra allowed the accurate identification and assignment of the features of ?(ω) to the vibrational modes of the various bonding structures characteristic of the PET and PEN macromolecular chains.     

高压结晶PET/PC共混体系中大尺寸聚合物伸直链晶体的形态观察

 大尺寸聚合物伸直链晶体在低维体系物理学的研究中具有不可替代的重要作用。但以往高压合成的聚合物伸直链晶体,尺寸较小且合成时间过长,使其作用至今未能显现。加入10%（质量分数）聚碳酸酯（PC）于聚对苯二甲酸乙二醇酯（PET）中,在研究PET/PC共混体系高压结晶行为的过程中快速合成了大量生长厚度超过100 μm 的聚合物伸直链晶体,并采用扫描电子显微镜对其进行了深入研究。研究表明,高压结晶PET/PC共混体系中存在不同类型的大尺寸伸直链晶体：完善的伸直链晶体、沿平行或垂直于C轴方向发生断裂的伸直链晶体、内聚能密度较大而发生内聚破裂的伸直链晶体、不同断裂方式下呈不同形态的楔形状伸直链晶体以及弯曲的伸直链晶体。同时对不同形态伸直链晶体的形成机理作了阐述。     

高直流电场下PET薄膜的电致发光及其可靠性

Small angle x—ray scattering study on the conformation of polystyrene in toluene during adding anti—solvent CO2

The conformatiopn of polystyrene in the anti-solvent process of supercritical fluids(compressed CO2 polystyrene toluene)has been studied by small angle x-ray scattering with synchrotron radiation as an x-ray source.Coilto-globule transformation of the polystyrene chain was observed with the increase of the anti-solvent CO2 pressure;i.e.polystrene coiled at a prssure lower than the cloud point pressure(Pc)and turned into a globle with a uniform density at pressures higher than Pc.Fractal behaviour was also found in the chain contraction.and the mass fractal dimension increased with increasing CO2 pressure.     

Crowding-Induced Crystallization of Poly(Ethylene Terephthalate)

Samples of poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) extracted from three-component systems with different ratios among PET, phenol, and poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) were prepared. As a crowding agent, PEG can greatly increase PET crystallinity. The crystal and thermal behaviors were characterized by wide-angle x-ray scattering and differential scanning calorimetry. There were two endothermic maxima of the crowding-induced crystallization process as molecular weight and concentration of PEG increased. The theory of crowding can interpret the phenomena well.

Synchrotron small angle x-ray scattering study of dye-sensitized／-unsensitized TiO2 nanoparticle colloidal solution

The wide-gap semiconductor TiO_2 nanoparticles with and without dye sensitization have been studied by small angle x-ray scattering using synchrotron radiation. Surface properties of the colloidal TiO_2 nanoparticles have been analysed in terms of the surface fractal dimensions (D_s), showing that D_s changes from 3.25 to 2.34 when TiO_2 nanoparticles are sensitized by ATRA (all-trans-retinoic acid), which reveals that the surface of the particles become relatively smooth after dye sensitization. The size distribution of gyration radius of TiO_2 nanoparticles in the colloids M(R_g) has been successfully determined by the Shull－Roess method. The main peak of M(R_g) for the unsensitized TiO_2 colloid is located at 2.1nm, corresponding to a spherical diameter of 5.4nm, and this value for the ATRA sensitized TiO_2 increases to 2.4nm, indicating a spherical diameter of 6.4nm. Such a size enlargement of TiO_2 nanoparticles suggests that there is a coating of ATRA on the TiO_2 surface, supporting the view that a monolayer of the dye has been attached to the surface of the TiO_2 nanoparticle.

Nonisothermal Crystallization of Recycled Poly(Ethylene Terephthalate)/Poly(Ethylene Octene) Blends

Recycled poly(ethylene terephthalate) (r-PET) was blended with poly(ethylene octene) (POE) and glycidyl methacrylate grafted poly(ethylene octene) (mPOE). The nonisothermal crystallization behavior of r-PET, r-PET/POE, and r-PET/mPOE blends was investigated using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The crystallization peak temperatures (T _p ) of the r-PET/POE and r-PET/mPOE blends were higher than that of r-PET at various cooling rates. Furthermore, the half-time for crystallization (t _1/2 ) decreased in the r-PET/POE and r-PET/mPOE blends, implying the nucleating role of POE and mPOE. The mPOE had lower nucleation activity than POE because the in situ formed copolymer PET-g-POE in the PET/mPOE blend restricted the movement of PET chains. Non-isothermal crystallization kinetics analysis was carried out based on the modified Avrami equation, the Ozawa equation, and the Mo method. It was found that the Mo method provided a better fit for the experimental data for all samples. The effective energy barriers for nonisothermal crystallization of r-PET and its blends were determined by the Kissinger method.     

Solid-state 13C NMR and synchrotron SAXS/WAXS studies of uniaxially-oriented polyethylene

We report solid-state ¹³C NMR and synchrotron wide-and small-angle X-ray scattering experiments (WAXS, SAXS) on metallocene linear low density polyethylene films (e.g., Exceed™ 1018 mLLDPE; nominally 1 MI, 0.918 density ethylene-hexene metallocene copolymer) as a function of uniaxial draw ratio, λ. Combined, these experiments provide an unambiguous, quantitative molecular view of the orientation of both the crystalline and amorphous phases in the samples as a function of draw. Together with previously reported differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), gas transport measurements, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), optical birefringence, small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) as well as other characterization techniques, this study of the state of orientation in both phases provides insight concerning the development of unusually high barrier properties of the most oriented samples (λ=10). In this work, static (non-spinning) solid-state NMR measurements indicate that in the drawn Exceed^TM films both the crystalline and amorphous regions are highly oriented. In particular, chemical shift data show the amorphous phase is comprised increasingly of so-called “taut tie chains” (or tie chains under any state of tautness) in the mLLDPE with increasing draw ratio – the resonance lines associated with the amorphous phase shift to where the crystalline peaks are observed. In the sample with highest total draw (λ=10), virtually all of the chains in the non-crystalline region have responded and aligned in the machine (draw) direction. Both monoclinic and orthorhombic crystalline peaks are observed in high-resolution, solid-state magic-angle spinning (MAS) NMR measurements of the oriented PE films. The orientation is comparable to that obtained for ultra-high molecular weight HDPE fibers described as “ultra-oriented” in the literature. Furthermore, the presence of a monoclinic peak in cold-drawn samples suggests that there is an appreciable internal stress associated with the LLDPE. The results are confirmed and independently quantified by Herman's Orientation Function values derived from the WAXS measurements. The degree of orientation approaches theoretically perfect alignment of chains along the draw direction. We deduce from this observation that a high fraction of the non-crystalline chains are either tie chains that directly connect adjacent lamellae or are interlocking loops from adjacent lamellae. In either case, the chains are load-bearing and are consistent with the idea of “taut tie chains”. We note that transmission electron micrographs recorded for the ultra-oriented Exceed showed the lamellae are often appreciably thinner and shorter than they are for cast or blown Exceed 1018. Combined with higher crystallinity, the thinner lamellae statistically favor more tie chains. Finally, the remarkably large decrease in permeability of the λ=10 film is primarily attributed to the high degree of orientation (and loss of entropy) of the amorphous phase.     

Large‐Scale Fluctuation Behavior Prior to the Crystallization of Poly(ethylene terephthalate) Glass: A Small‐Angle Light Scattering Study

The crystallization processes of amorphous, glassy‐state poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) at two temperatures, a low temperature near T _g where PET has a slow crystallization speed and a middle temperature (about 55°C above T _g ) where PET crystallization is rapid, were monitored in situ by a time‐resolved small‐angle light scattering (SALS) device. It was found that large‐scale fluctuations happened prior to the crystallization at both temperatures, but the kind of fluctuation had a temperature dependence: at the middle temperature, pure density fluctuation took place during the induction period, whereas at low temperature, both density fluctuation and orientation fluctuation occurred, but the latter was the dominant factor. Analyses of the kinetics of these two kinds of fluctuation processes demonstrated that the spinodal decomposition (SD) type of phase‐separation character was undistinguishable in the SALS scale, while the nucleation‐growth (NG) type of phase behavior could describe the scattering results as well.

Nanocomposite characterization on multiple length scales using µSAXS

Nanocomposites have great potential for the rational synthesis of tailored materials. However, the templating process that transfers the self‐organized nanostructure of a block copolymer or other mesophase onto the functional material is by no means trivial, and often involves multiple steps, each of which presents its own chemical and physical challenges. As a result the nanocomposite may not be homogeneous, but can be phase‐separated into various components which may feature their own specific microstructure. Here it is shown how scanning microbeam small‐angle X‐ray scattering (µSAXS) can be used to characterize a thermoset resol/poly(isoprene‐block‐ethylene oxide) nanocomposite on multiple length scales with respect to homogeneity and microphase separation.     

GISAXS and SAXS studies on the spatial structures of Co nanowire arrays

The spatial structures of magnetic Co nanowire array embedded in anodic aluminium membranes were investigated by grazing incidence small angle X-ray scattering (GISAXS) and conventional small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) techniques. Compared with SEM observation, the GISAXS and SAXS measurements can get more overall structural information in a large-area scale. In this study, the two-dimensional GISAXS pattern was well reconstructed by using the IsGISAXS program. The results demonstrate that the hexagonal lattice formed by the Co nanowires is distorted (a ≈ 105 nm, b ≈ 95 nm). These Co nanowires are isolated into many structure domains with different orientations with a size of about 2 μm. The SAXS results have also confirmed that the nanopore structures in the AAM can be retained after depositing Co nanowires although the Co nanowires can not completely but only just fill up the nanopores. These results are helpful for understanding the global structure of the Co nanowire array.

Characteristics of Rubber/Sodium Montmorillonite Nanocomposites Prepared by a Novel Method

In order to enhance the fine dispersion of hydrophilic sodium montmorillonite (Na‐MMT) in the matrix of hydrophobic rubber, the hydrophobic modification of Na‐MMT was carried out via an in situ method in the melt compounding process using the modifiers poly(ethylene glycol) monooleate or poly(ethylene glycol) diacrylate, both of which have a hydrophilic poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) segment and a hydrophobic hydrocarbon segment. The X‐ray diffraction patterns showed that the interlayer distance of Na‐MMT was expanded by the intercalation of these modifiers. The morphology observed by scanning electron microscopy as well as the cure characteristics and tensile modulus showed that this organic modification effectively enhanced the fine dispersion of Na‐MMT in the rubber matrix.     

Effect of Morphology and Composition of Organic Montmorillonite on the Structure and Properties of Poly(Butylene Terephthalate) Nanocomposites

The morphology and composition of organic montmorillonites are critical for their dispersion in polymer matrixes. In the current study, the pristine montmorillonite (MMT) was first surface modified with silane and then intercalated using two kinds of intercalating agents in supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO₂). The obtained OMMTs with tunable morphology and composition, together with pristine MMT and commercial MMT, were introduced into poly(butylene terephthalate) (PBT) to investigate the MMTs dispersion in the PBT matrix and the final properties of the PBT/MMT nanocomposites. The structure of the different MMTs and their dispersion in the PBT matrix were characterized by SEM and TEM, respectively. The crystallization behavior, storage moduli and loss factors of the PBT/MMT nanocomposites were also investigated.     

Effect of melt viscosity and surface tension of polymers on the percolation threshold of conductive-particle-filled polymeric composites

The electrical conductivities of carbon-black-filled low-density polyethylene (LDPE), poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA), and poly(vinyl chloride)-vinyl acetate (PVC/ VAc) copolymer were measured as functions of carbon content and melt viscosity of the matrix at the temperatures at which the composites were prepared. Sharp breaks in the relationship between the carbon filler content and the conductivity of composites were observed in all specimens at some content of the carbon filler. The conductivity jumps as much as 10 orders of magnitude at the break point. This phenomenon has been known as the “percolation threshold”. The critical carbon content corresponding to the break point
