EQUILIBRIUM HEAT OF FUSION OF POLYTETRAFLUOROETHYLENE

The reliability of the values of equilibrium heat of fusion, △H_m, of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)reported in the literature and the inadequacy of the generally accepted value of 13 .7 or 14.6 cal/gwere discussed. Through extrapolating linear plot of △H_m vs. V_(sp) of the thermally aged PTFE virginas-polymerized samples prepared in accord with ASTM D 1457-81a, △H_m~o=79.6J/g (19.0 cal/g)and V_(sp) (specific volume of amorphous PTFE at 23℃)=0.480 cm~3/g (or ρ_a=2 .08g/cm~3) were ob-tained. The heats of fusion, △H_m, of the thermally aged and γ-irradiated samples are different irrespec-tive of the same V_(sp) value for both samples. A qualitative explanation of this phenomenon was givenbased on the H_v patterns of SALS and Kawai's model.     

CHARACTERIZATION OF γ-IRRADIATED CRYSTALLINE POLYMERS Ⅰ. CHARACTERIZATION OF γ-RADIATION INDUCED CROSSLINKED POLYAMIDE 1010 BY CRYSTALLIZATION TEMPERATURE*

The effect of ~(50)Co γ-radiation on plain polyamide 1010 (PA1010 Ⅰ) and PA1010 containing dif-ferent amount of crosslinking agent (BMI) (PA1010 Ⅱ) both in vacuum and in air at room tempera-ture was investigated with DSC. It was found that the crystallization temperature T_c of crosslinkedsample determined with DSC at constant cooling rate decreased as the radiation dose increased. Thedifference between crystallization temperatures before and after crosslinking (T_(c_o)-T_(c_R) is linearlyrelated to the radiation dose for PA1010I. Based on the Charlesby-Pinner's equation an expressionwas derived S+S~(1/2)=A+B/(T_(c_o)-T_(c_R)) where S is the sol fraction, A and B are constants. Since thereis evidence that T_c is relative to S only and independent of the way of irradiation, the equation is alsoapplicable to the enhanced γ-irradiation crosslinked PA1010 Ⅱ. Therefore, determination of T_cof crosslinked polymer by DSC offers a convenient approach to study quantitatively the random andespecially non-random crosslinking reaction of crystalline polymer.     

MELTING BEHAVIOR OF γ-IRRADIATED ETHYLENE-alt-TETRAFLUOROETHYLENF COPOLYMER*

The melting behavior of poly(ethylene-alt-tetrafluoroethylene) γ-irradiated in air and vacuumwas studied by DSC. From the results of DSC and density measurements the equilibrium heat offusion, △AH_(III)~o, and the density of the amorphous phase, ρ_α, of the polymer were estimated as 172J/gand 1.63g/cm~3 respectively. Thereby thc degree of crystallinity of this copolymer can be evaluatedby both density and calorimetric methods. The crystal structure was damaged gradually and eventuallycompletely destroyed with the increase in radiation dose from 0.3 to 900 Mrads. Exclusion of airwas advantageous in lessening the damage of thc crystal while increase in the degree of vacuum favoredthe formation of crosslinks. Small peaks appearing both on the DSC endotherm (600K) and onthe exotherm (540K) resulted from the presence of small amount of tetrafluoroethylene blocks alongthe main chain of poly(ethylener-alt-tetrafluoroethylene).     

Study into melting-crystallization of silver thiogallate by the statistical thermal analysis method

The influence of heat treatment of a liquid phase on “melting-crystallization” processes of silver thiogallate (AgGaS₂) having chalcopyrite structure I [`4]2\textd \bar{4}2{\text{d}} , has been studied by the method of statistical thermal analysis (STA). It is shown that the melting temperature of solid phase (T _m) increases non-monotonic from 970 °C due to rise in the preliminary melt overheating, and T _m reaches asymptotically 1010 °C. The equilibrium melting-crystallization temperature ( T_\textm^\texto T_{\text{m}}^{\text{o}} ) has been defined as 989.2 °C. It is also found an extreme dependence of the melt supercooling on its overheating. The two curves of irregular dependence of nucleation rate on melt supercooling have been plotted at different melt overheating.     

Crystalline transition in Nylon 10 10

Variable‐temperature X‐ray diffraction was used to monitor the crystalline transition of Nylon 10 10. It could be found that the α‐phase of the sample transforms into a γ‐phase at about 135°C, if the sample is heated from room temperature to a high temperature, which is the so‐called Brill transition of Nylon 10 10. In addition, Nylon 10 10 was found to crystallize directly in a kind of α‐phase from the melt at high temperature, which is much different from the behavior of Nylon 66 and Nylon 10 12. Upon further cooling to room temperature, Nylon 10 10 preserved the α‐phase revealing two peaks in its XRD patterns. However, if the Nylon 10 10 sample with γ‐form was not melted, but immediately cooled from a temperature between T_B and T_m, the reverse transition from γ‐form to α‐form could be observed at about 130°C, indicating reversible Brill transition of Nylon 10 10.

Investigations of the equilibrium melting temperature in PBT and PC/PBT blends

The melting behavior of poly(butylene terephthalate) and its blends with bisphenol-A polycarbonate was investigated with differential scanning calorimetry. The aim of this work was to determine the equilibrium melting temperature and its dependence on the blend composition using the Hoffman-Weeks plots. It is shown that the critical analysis of various influences on the melting peak is necessary for the reorganization processes and crystallized content of blends. The experimental conditions and the corrections of measured temperatures were derived and discussed. It was found that the use of the extrapolated onset temperature T_m,o of the melting peak is more efficient than the maximum temperature T_m for the Hoffman-Weeks plots. The equilibrium values of pure PBT are determined to be T^o_m,o = 501 K and T^o_m = 506 K. The equilibrium temperatures of the blends do not show a depression with increasing PC content. Using the Nishi-Wang relation, the results can be qualitatively interpreted with a polymer-polymer interaction coefficient χ ≥ 0 between both components. A weak increase in the equilibrium temperature with increasing PC content was observed. A hypothesis to explain this is based on the possibility of a changed population of the different spherulites with various melting temperatures in dependence on PC content. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Nylon 6 9 can crystallize with hydrogen bonding in two and in three interchain directions

Nylon 6 9 has been shown to have structures with interchain hydrogen bonds in both two and in three directions. Chain-folded lamellar crystals were studied using transmission electron microscopy and sedimented crystal mats and uniaxially oriented fibers studied by X-ray diffraction. The principal room-temperature structure shows the two characteristic (interchain) diffraction signals at spacings of 0.43 and 0.38 nm, typical of α-phase nylons; however, nylon 6 9 is unable to form the α-phase hydrogen-bonded sheets without serious distortion of the all-trans polymeric backbone. Our structure has c and c^* noncoincident and two directions of hydrogen bonding. Optimum hydrogen bonding can only occur if consecutive pairs of amide units alternate between two crystallographic planes. The salient features of our model offer a possible universal solution for the crystalline state of all odd–even nylons. The nylon 6 9 room-temperature structure has a C-centered monoclinic unit cell (β = 108°) with the hydrogen bonds along the C-face diagonals; this structure bears a similarity to that recently proposed for nylons 6 5 and X3. On heating nylon 6 9 lamellar crystals and fibers, the two characteristic diffraction signals converge and meet at 0.42 nm at the Brill temperature, T_B · T_B for nylon 6 9 lamellar crystals is slightly below the melting point (T_m), whereas T_B for nylon 6 9 fibers is ≅ 100°C below T_m. Above T_B, nylon 6 9 has a hexagonal unit cell; the alkane segments exist in a mobile phase and equivalent hydrogen bonds populate the three principal (hexagonal) directions. A structure with perturbed hexagonal symmetry, which bears a resemblance to the reported γ-phase for nylons, can be obtained by quenching from the crystalline growth phase (above T_B) to room temperature. We propose that this structure is a “quenched-in” perturbed form of the nylon 6 9 high-temperature hexagonal phase and has interchain hydrogen bonds in all three principal crystallographic directions. In this respect it differs importantly from the γ-phase models. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Polym Sci B: Polym Phys 36: 1153–1165, 1998

THE EFFECTS OF IRRADIATION ON THE THERMAL PROPERTIES OF SEMI-CRYSTALLINE POLYAMIDES

Irradiation crosslinking of semi-crystalline polyamides was performed by high energy electronswith various dosages. It is known that the melting behavior of the polymers after irradiation is acomplex phenomenon. In company with the wide angle X-ray diffraction and DSC data of irradiatedand unirradiated polyamides it is possible to develop the local order and perfection of the crystallinitiesslightly which resulted from introduction of intermolecular crosslinking in amorphous region, incl-uding in amorphous-crystalline interface and crystalline defect regions due to irradiation. It canbe explained that slight increase of melting temperature (T_m) and heat of fusion (△H_f) with increasingdosage for both of higher crystallinity nylon 4 and nylon 6. For irradiated lower crystallinity nylons,in contrast, the T_m and △H_f decrease obviously with increasing dosage. In this case, radiation cross-linking "freeze in" the pre-existing morphology, and then the prevention for reorganization duringheating is a dominant effect. The T_m from the second melting for all of the samples were depressed,corresponding with Flory theory. Therefore the crosslinks imposed on the molecules restrainedthe molecular mobility, and that not only depresses the crystallinity but also increases the imperfec-tion of crystallites when the radiated polymer melted and then recrystallized. These are also reflectedin the depression of heat and entropy of fusion as well as the appearance of double melting peakson the DSC thermograms.     

Correlation between local mobility and mechanical properties of high‐speed melt‐spun nylon‐6 fibers

This article establishes the processing–microstructure–motion–property relationship of high‐speed melt‐spun nylon‐6 fibers. From solid‐state ¹H NMR T_1ρ (spin–lattice relaxation time in the rotating frame) relaxation studies, all nylon‐6 fibers spun at 4500–6100 m/min showed three‐component exponential decay with the time constants T_1ρ,I, T_1ρ,II, and T_1ρ,III, indicating that there existed three different motional phases. These phases were assigned to immobile crystalline, intermediate rigid amorphous, and mobile amorphous regions. The determination of the correlation time (τ_c) of the respective phases provided information about the local molecular mobility of each phase with respect to the spinning speed. As the spinning speed increased, τ_c of the crystalline region increased (4500–5200 m/min) and then reached a plateau. However, τ_c for the rigid amorphous region increased from 5200 m/min onward, indicating that the rigid amorphous chains were more oriented and constrained in the spinning speed range of 5500–6100 m/min. The drastic increase of the maximum thermal stress for all fibers from 5500 to 6100 m/min was coincident with the τ_c characteristics of the rigid amorphous region. The significant increase in tenacity and Young's modulus and the large decrease in elongation at break at 5500–6100 m/min were also in good agreement with the local molecular motion of the intermediate rigid amorphous phase in the nylon‐6 fibers. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Equilibrium thermal behavior and morphology of organophilic montmorillonite/poly(ε‐caprolactone) nanocomposites

With differential scanning calorimetry, we have demonstrated a peculiar behavior under equilibrium conditions of neat poly(ε‐caprolactone) and its organophilic montmorillonite nanocomposites. In particular, in the determination of the equilibrium melting temperature by the extrapolation of the data of the melting temperature (T_m) versus the crystallization temperature (T_c), a bimodal trend has been observed. At the lower T_c's, the data of T_m follow a constant trend, whereas at the higher ones, the usual increasing trend has been obtained. Morphological observations by atomic force microscopy (AFM) have provided evidence of two different crystalline morphologies for the lower and higher T_c ranges. Moreover, AFM has shown that the thermal treatments strongly influence the clay dispersion in the polymer matrix. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Polym Sci Part B: Polym Phys 44: 22–32, 2006     

Classification for molecular aggregation structure of monolayers on the water surface

The melting temperature, T_m, and the crystalline relaxation temperature, Tα_c, of palmitic acid and dipalmitoyl phosphatidylcholine monolayers on the water surface were evaluated by combination of two kinds of measurements: first, the subphase temperature, T_sp, dependence of the monolayer modulus based on the surface pressure-area (π-A) isotherm and second, the T_sp dependence of the electron diffraction, ED patterns of their monolayers. On the basis of their characteristic temperatures of the monolayers, the aggregation structure of the monolayers which were transferred onto a hydrophilic SiO substrate at various surface pressures and T_sps was investigated by means of transmission electron microscopy. The π-A isotherm for the fatty acid monolayer on the pure water surface represented the aggregating process of isolated domains grown right after spreading a solution on the pure water surface. The fatty acid monolayer on the pure water surface was classified into a crystalline monolayer (T_sp < T_m) and an amorphous one (T_sp > T_m). The crystalline monolayer was further classified into two types; crystalline domains were aligned along their crystallographic axes owing to an induced sintering at the interfacial region among monolayer domains by surface compression (T_sp < Tα_c), while not for T_sp > Tα_c. In the case of the phospholipid monolayer, the monolayer was classified into a compressing crystallized monolayer (T_sp < T_m) and an amorphous one (T_sp > T_m). The compressing crystallized monolayer is a monolayer in which crystallization was gradually induced at plateau region on the π-A isotherm by compression. Electron diffraction studies of arachidic acid monolayers in different dissociated states of hydrophilic groups revealed that formation of the compressing crystallized monolayer was attributed to an electrostatic repulsion among ionic hydrophilic groups. It was concluded that the aggregation structure of monolayers on the water surface was systematically classified into ‘the crystalline monolayer’, ‘the amorphous monolayer’ and ‘the compressing crystallized monolayer’, with respect to thermal and chemical (intermolecular repulsive) factors.     

SAXS and DSC studies of the crystallization and melting phenomena of poly(ϵ‐caprolactone)

The relationships between the crystallization temperature, T_c, the crystal thickness, d_c and the melting peak temperature, T_m of poly(ϵ‐caprolactone) have been determined by carrying out time‐ and temperature‐dependent small angle x‐ray scattering experiments. A two‐step melting has been suggested, resulting in the occurrence of two well defined independent boundary lines, indicating the transformation from melt into the partially crystalline state. For crystallization temperatures lower than 40°C, during heating, more pronounced peak shifts are observed with the final melting of the crystallites having the same thickness of d_c ≈︁ 7 nm. In this region, it is evident that crystals have relatively good stabilities, since they have fairly uniform thickness. At higher temperatures, above 40°C, T_m increases with T_c, together with the thickness. The transformation of the melt into the partially crystalline state depicts a two‐step process, beginning with the formation of a well defined initial structure with lower order, which is subsequently stabilized.     

STRUCTURAL CHARACTERIZATION OF POLYETHYLENES BY DSC ANALYSIS AFTER CRYSTALLIZATION SEGREGATION*

The molecular structure of polyethylene (PE) samples with various comonomers including propylene, 1-buteneand 1-hexene was investigated by DSC and ~(13)C-NMR techniques. The density of the samples varies from 0.948 g/cm~3 to0.917 g/cm~3, and the molecular weight determined by the GPC method is in the range of 1～2×10~5. The branch point contentof the samples was determined by ~(13)C-NMR measurements and was found to be less than 20 per 1000 C atoms along themain chain. Crystallization segregation DSC technique (CSDSC) was used to characterize the branch point distribution or thesegment length distribution of PEs. The crystallization segregation was performed in a successive annealing process atdecreasing temperatures. The interval of two successive annealing temperatures was 6 K, and the time length of eachannealing step was 2.5 h. The CSDSC results clearly indicate that all the PE samples used, including some metallocene PEs,more or less exhibit their non-uniformity in segment length distribution, and bimodal or multimodal CSDSC curves wereusually observed. For quantitative characterization of the CSDSC curves and the segment length distribution two parameters,the average melting point, T_(mAV), and the root-mean-square deviation of melting temperature, (ΔT_(mAV)~2)~(1/2), were proposed.T_(mAV) is corresponding to the average segment length due to branching and (ΔT_(mAV)~2)~(1/2) gives information about the width ofthe segment length distribution. Experimental results show that both the degree of average melting temperature depressionand the width of the distribution seem to increase with increasing the branching content and are dependent on the type ofcomonomers. Very good reproducibility and additivity of the CSDSC method were evidenced experimentally. It wasconcluded that the CSDSC technique is a sensitive and convenient method for characterizing the segment length distribution of branched polyethylenes and will be of great interest in structure-property relationship studies of crystalline polymers.     

A model developed for acid dissolution thermodynamics of a Turkish bentonite

A model was proposed to calculate some thermodynamic parameters for the acid dissolution process of a bentonite containing a calcium-rich smectite as clay mineral along with quartz, opal and feldspar as impurities. The bentonite sample was treated with H₂SO₄ by applying dry method in the temperature range 50–150°C for 24 h. The acid content in the dry bentonite-sulphuric acid mixture was 45 mass%. The total content (x) of Al₂O₃, Fe₂O₃ and MgO remained in the undissolved sample after treatment was taken as an equilibrium parameter. An apparent equilibrium constant, K _a, was calculated for each temperature by assuming K _a=(x _m−x)/x where x _m is the total oxide content of the natural bentonite. Also, an apparent change in Gibbs free energy, ΔG _a^o, was calculated for each temperature by using the K _a value. The graphs of lnK _a vs. 1/T and ΔG _a^o vs. T were drawn and then the real change in both the enthalpy, ΔH ^o and the entropy, ΔS ^o, values were calculated from the slopes of the straight lines, respectively. Inversely, real ΔG ^o and K values were calculated from the real ΔH ^o and ΔS ^o values through ΔG ^o = −RT ln K = ΔH ^o − TΔS ^o equation. The best ΔH ^o and ΔS ^o fittings to this relation were found to be 65687 J mol⁻¹ and 164 J mol⁻¹K⁻¹, respectively.
