Melt crystallization of isotactic polypropylene (iPP), poly(ethylene oxide), poly(butene-1), and polycaprolactone in contact with various substrates (mostly polymeric) has been studied by hot stage polarizing microscopy. Nucleating abilities of surfaces have been characterized qualitatively by examining the substrate-induced morphologies of the crystallizing polymer. These morphologies have been classified into three groups, depending on whether the substrate is very active (transcrystallinity), moderately active, or inactive as a nucleating agent. The morphologies observed are temperature-dependent, changing from transcrystalline to spherulitic upon increase of the crystallization temperature. At intermediate temperatures, mixed surface morphologies (transcrystalline plus spherulitic) are observed. The concentration of titanium and aluminum catalytic residues in isotactic polystyrene (iPS) samples can be reduced by two methods, i.e., (a) fractionating the polymer and (b) chelating Ti and Al with acetylacetone. The high nucleating ability of iPS samples in the crystallization of iPP has been shown to be due to the polymer (iPS) itself, and not to Ti and Al residues. Apart from iPS, other polymers (low energy surfaces) have also been found to induce transcrystallinity. From a survey of 43 substrate-crystallizing polymer pairs, conclusions have been drawn which are relevant to the following potential factors in heterogeneous nucleation processes: (a) chemical structure, (b) crystallographic unit cell type, (c) lattice parameters, (d) crystallinity of substrate, and (e) surface energy of substrate. 相似文献

The kinetics of isothermal crystallization from the glassy state at low temperatures and the morphology of poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) filled with additives are reported. Talc, kaolin, silicon oxide, and titanium oxide have been used as fillers; they act as effective nucleating agents for PET. The overall rate of crystallization depends on the volume concentration, the size distribution, and the nucleating ability of the additives. An electron microscopic study reveals a transcrystalline morphology at the surface of the filler particles. The occurrence of transcrystallinity is attributed to extensive heterogeneous nucleation induced at the filler surface. From the shape of the crystallization isotherms, it can be concluded that the crystallization mechanism depends on the type of filler. 相似文献

In the initial stage of the development of transcrystallinity, nuclei appear sporadically on the substrate. The growth rate and melting temperature of the transcrystalline region are found to be the same as those of spherulites nucleated in the bulk of the polymer. Nucleation densities ns at the interface, and nb in bulk, for the crystallization of isotactic polypropylene, poly(ethylene oxide), and poly(butene-1) in contact with various substrates, have been measured by counting the number of spherulites generated. Despite variations in the results from various causes, the quantities ns and ns/nb are useful parameters for characterizing the nucleating ability of various substrates. 相似文献

A nucleation efficiency scale for isotactic poly(L ‐lactide) (PLLA) was obtained with self‐nucleation and nonisothermal differential scanning calorimetry experiments. The maximum nucleation efficiency occurred at the highest concentration of self‐nucleating sites, and the minimum efficiency occurred in the absence of these sites (pure PLLA polymer melt). Blends of PLLA and isotactic poly(D ‐lactide) (PDLA) led to the formation of a 1/1 stereocomplex. In comparison with the homopolymer (PLLA), the stereocomplex had a higher melting temperature and crystallized at higher temperatures from the melt. Small stereocomplex crystallites were formed in PLLA/PDLA blends containing low concentrations of PDLA. These crystallites acted as heterogeneous nucleation sites for subsequent PLLA crystallization. Using the PLLA nucleation efficiency scale, we evaluated a series of PLLA/PDLA blends (0.25–15 wt % PDLA). A maximum nucleation efficiency of 66% was observed at 15 wt % PDLA. The nucleation efficiency was largely dependent on the thermal treatment of the sample. The nucleating ability of the stereocomplex was most efficient when it was formed well before PLLA crystallization. According to the efficiency scale, the stereocomplex was far superior to talc, a common nucleating agent for PLLA, in its ability to enhance the rate of PLLA crystallization. In comparison with the PLLA homopolymer, the addition of PDLA led to reduced spherulite sizes and a reduction in the overall extent of PLLA crystallization. The decreased extent of crystallization was attributed to the hindered mobility of the PLLA chains due to tethering by the stereocomplex. © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

The addition of nucleating agents to semicrystalline polymersis largely used in the processing industry of plastic materials
to improve some properties of polymers as well as for economical and technological reasons. In this work, the influence of
talc concentration on the nucleation efficiency of poly(propylene) (PP), as well as on the non-isothermal kinetics of the
crystallization of that system were determined by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The nucleating efficiency was determined
by Fillon's method, and the dynamic nucleation by Ozawa's method at cooing rates of 2, 5 and 10°C min–1. The results show that both the degree of crystallinity and the crystallization temperature increase with the filler content
and decrease at higher cooling rates and that Ozawa's (n,) exponent and the nucleation efficiency increase with temperature and filler content. It was also shown that the nucleating
efficiency of talc in
poly(propylene) is comparable to the best heterogeneous nucleating agents available.

In this work, we show the effects of nanoconfinement on the crystallization of poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) nanotubes embedded in anodized aluminum oxide (AAO) templates. The morphological characteristics of the hollow 1D PEO nanostructures were evaluated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The crystallization of the PEO nanostructures and bulk was studied with differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and wide-angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD). The crystallization of PEO nanotubes studied by DSC is strongly influenced by the confinement showing a strong reduction in the crystallization temperature of the polymer. X-ray diffraction (XRD) experiments confirmed the isothermal crystallization results obtained by DSC, and studies carried out at low temperatures showed the absence of crystallites oriented with the extended chains perpendicular to the pore wall within the PEO nanotubes, which has been shown to be the typical crystal orientation for one-dimensional polymer nanostructures. In contrast, only planes oriented 33, 45, and 90° with respect to the plane (120) are arranged parallel to the pore's main axis, indicating preferential crystal growth in the direction of the radial component. Calculations based on classical nucleation theory suggest that heterogeneous nucleation prevails in the bulk PEO whereas for the PEO nanotubes a surface nucleation mechanism is more consistent with the obtained results. 相似文献

The confined crystallization behavior, melting behavior, and nonisothermal crystallization kinetics of the poly(ethylene glycol) block (PEG) in poly(L ‐lactide)–poly(ethylene glycol) (PLLA–PEG) diblock copolymers were investigated with wide‐angle X‐ray diffraction and differential scanning calorimetry. The analysis showed that the nonisothermal crystallization behavior changed from fitting the Ozawa equation and the Avrami equation modified by Jeziorny to deviating from them with the molecular weight of the poly(L ‐lactide) (PLLA) block increasing. This resulted from the gradual strengthening of the confined effect, which was imposed by the crystallization of the PLLA block. The nucleation mechanism of the PEG block of PLLA15000–PEG5000 at a larger degree of supercooling was different from that of PLLA2500–PEG5000, PLLA5000–PEG5000, and PEG5000 (the numbers after PEG and PLLA denote the molecular weights of the PEG and PLLA blocks, respectively). They were homogeneous nucleation and heterogeneous nucleation, respectively. The PLLA block bonded chemically with the PEG block and increased the crystallization activation energy, but it provided nucleating sites for the crystallization of the PEG block, and the crystallization rate rose when it was heterogeneous nucleation. The number of melting peaks was three and one for the PEG homopolymer and the PEG block of the diblock copolymers, respectively. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The crystallization behavior of poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) with disodium terephthalate (DST) as nucleating agent was investigated. A detailed analysis of the crystallization course from the melt was made with the Avrami expression. The results demonstrated that DST additive can promote the PET crystallization rate in its entire crystallizable temperature range, and the acceleration degree of DST decreases with increasing temperature after a temperature higher than 180 °C. The values of the Avrami exponent indicated that the crystallization mode in Avrami theory is not suitable for the crystallization of these polymers, and the mechanism of the heterogeneous nucleation on PET crystallization is discussed. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The effect of various metal salts as nucleating additives for poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) has been investigated. In the case of sodium benzoate and probably for all other effective nucleating additives, the nucleation process can be divided into a “heterogeneous particle nucleation” performed by the unreacted salt and a “homogeneous nucleation” due to the polymer–sodium (metal) salt formed during the extrusion. This polymer–sodium (metal) salt is the major nucleating agent in these systems. We have also shown the fundamental difference between the concept of a nucleating additive and that of a nucleating agent. 相似文献

The kinetics of non-isothermal melt solidification of random butene-1/propylene copolymers has been compared with that of random butene-1/ethylene copolymers. Analysis of the distance between neighbored chain segments in the crystal phase revealed inclusion of propylene chain defects into crystals, while ethylene co-units are excluded from crystallization. As a consequence of different acceptance of propylene and ethylene chain defects to participate in crystallization, the kinetics of the transition of the melt into ordered phase is significantly slower in random butene-1/ethylene copolymers. For samples of similar co-unit concentration, the decrease of the crystallization temperature and of the critical cooling rate to suppress ordering/crystallization is higher in random butene-1/ethylene copolymers than in butene-1/propylene copolymers. Due to the required rejection of ethylene co-units at the crystal growth front, ultimately, the maximum crystallinity is lower in butene-1/ethylene copolymers than in butene-1/propylene copolymers of similar amount of co-units. 相似文献

The crystallization kinetics of polypropylene and poly (butyl methacrylate-co-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) blend was investigated with differential scanning calorimetry. The isothermal crystallization analysis based on the Avrami theory indicated a heterogeneous nucleating effect from the copolymer. A systematic study of the nonisothermal crystallization kinetics was undertaken using the Avrami equation and its later modifications by Ozawa, Mo, and Zhang. The results demonstrated that the linear relationship failed in the different cooling rates because the Avrami method did not take into account that the crystallization temperature was lowered continuously. The Ozawa and Mo methods could be successful in describing the overall nonisothermal process of polypropylene and the blend. In addition, the nonisothermal crystallization energy values were estimated by the Kissinger and Freidman models. There are two mutually opposite effects on the crystallization behavior of the blend: nucleation ability and growth retardation. 相似文献

In this paper, we proposed a method to determine the nucleation effect of pre-existing crystals on crystallization of the second block in double crystalline block copolymers, which is usually covered by the suppression effect. The nucleation mechanism of poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) block from the pre-crystallized polyethylene (PE) block in poly(ethylene-cobutene)-b-poly(ethylene glycol) (EmEOn) diblock copolymers was investigated under variable crystallization environments. The crystallization environment for the PEO block was altered by cooling at different cooling rates or successive selfnucleation (SSN) to the PE block. It was found that the presence of nucleation effect is strongly dependent on composition of the block copolymers. The crystallization temperature (Tc) of PEO block in E174EO90 increases as cooling rate applied to the PE block decreases, indicating that PE block can nucleate the crystallization of PEO block and more perfect PE crystals have stronger nucleation effect. In E182EO41 crystallization of the PEO block is confined, shown by the disappearance of selfnucleation domain, and the PE block has no nucleation effect on the crystallization of PEO block. Double crystallization peaks are observed for the PEO block in E182EO41 and the intensity of the crystallization peak at higher temperature increases as the PE crystals become more perfect. After exclusion of homogeneous nucleation mechanism, the higher temperature crystallization peak of the PEO block in E182EO41 is tentatively ascribed to surface nucleation. 相似文献

The morphology/habit of crystals of cold-crystallized poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) has been evaluated using scanning
and transmission electron microscopy and using atomic force microscopy. The combination of different preparation and analysis
techniques allowed assessing the structure at the nanometer scale of films of PET at both the surface and the bulk. It is
found that crystals formed on heating the amorphous glass to a temperature higher than the glass transition temperature are
of lamellar shape in the bulk and almost isometric habit at the surface. This finding is explained by different rates of nucleation/crystallization
in the bulk and at the surface, being supported by the observation of nanometer-scale surface heterogeneities after quenching
PET to ambient temperature before crystallization was initiated by heating. 相似文献

The design of a differential thermal analysis apparatus for use at elevated pressure is described. Experiments on melting and crystallization of folded-chain crystals of polyethylene and poly(ethylene–butene-1) copolymer, and melting of extended-chain polyethylene crystals have been conducted at pressures up to 4200 bars. The precision in transition temperature measurement was ±1°C. The Clausius-Clapeyron equation predicts the melting point increase with pressure at atmospheric pressure to be 32.0°C/kb. The melting point depression due to copolymerization remained constant over the complete pressure range analyzed on the poly(ethylene–butene-1) used in this study. Crystallization of polyethylene is retarded at elevated pressures, and a 50% larger degree of supercooling is necessary at 5000 bars to give a crystallization rate equal to that observed at atmospheric pressure. The difference in melting point between folded-chain and extended-chain polyethylene increases from 8.4°C at 1 bar to 25.6°C at 3000 bars. 相似文献

Enhanced crystallization behaviors of poly(ethylene terephthalate) via adding expanded graphite and poly(ethylene glycol) 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

A compound additive system consisting of expanded graphite (EG) and poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) was designed to enhance the crystallization of poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET). In this additive system, EG acted as a heterogeneous nucleating agent to reduce energy barrier for nucleation, while PEG played as plasticizer to improve mobility of PET chains. Simultaneously adding EG and PEG resulted in faster crystallization kinetics than the cases of solely adding EG or PEG in both of non-isothermal and isothermal crystallization processes, indicating a synergistic effect of EG and PEG on enhancing PET crystallization. However, for non-isothermal crystallization process, in which crystallization occurred from a cooling melt, EG played a dominant role. As to isothermal crystallization process where crystallization took place in a super-cooling state, PEG seemed to be more important. Moreover, the chain conformation change among the semi-crystalline PET specimens was ascertained by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. 相似文献

X‐ray diffraction method and differential scanning calorimetry analysis have been used to investigate the nonisothermal crystallization of poly(3‐hydroxybutyrate) (PHB)/poly(ethylene glycol) phosphonates (PEOPAs)‐modified layered double hydroxide (PMLDH) nanocomposites. Effects of cooling rates and PMLDH contents on the nonisothermal crystallization behavior of PHB were explored. These results show that the addition of 2 wt % PMLDH into PHB caused heterogeneous nucleation increasing the crystallization rate and reducing the activation energy. By adding PMLDH into the PHB probably hinder the transport ability of the molecule chains and result in a decreasing crystallity of PHB, thus increasing the activation energy. The correlation among melting behavior, apparent crystallite size, and paracrystalline distortion of PHB/PMLDH nanocomposites has been also discussed. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
