一个热致液晶高分子－高聚物复合体系的粘度函数

n the basis of the steady state flow model in the capillary, the viscosity of the blends of the thermotropic liquid crystalline polymer (TLCP) and the thermoplastics (TP) were studied. In this paper, several assumptions were brought up to derive a function of viscosity as a function of the volume percent of the TLCP. By compared with the experimental results, this formula was confirmed to be useful to express the viscosity of TP/TLCP blends.     

In Situ fibril formation of thermotropic liquid crystal polymer in polyesters blends

Polymer blends based on poly(ethylene 2,6‐naphthalate) (PEN) and poly‐(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) reinforced with a thermotropic liquid crystal polymer (TLCP) were prepared using a melt blending process. Polymer blends consisting of conventional cheap polyester with a small quantity of expensive TLCP are of interest from an economic point of view. The shear viscosity of the TLCP and polyester blends decreased with increasing shear rate and depended on TLCP content. The lower values of the structural viscosity index for the TLCP and polyester blends were attributed to the formation of fibrillar TLCP structures having elongated fibrils in the polyester matrix. The TLCP/PEN blends exhibited long TLCP fibrils that had smaller average diameters and narrower distributions of the diameter compared with those of the TLCP/PET blends. The higher shear force and lower viscosity ratio observed may favor the in situ TLCP fibril formation in the polyester matrix. The viscosity ratio was the most crucial factor in controlling the morphology of the TLCP phase in the TLCP and polyester blends. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Correlation of the minor-phase orientation to the flow-induced morphological transitions in thermotropic liquid crystalline polymer/PBT blends

Immiscible blends of thermotropic liquid crystalline polymers (TLCP) and a flexible polymer matrix show viscosity reductions and extensive fiber formation under certain flow conditions. Here we study these phenomena by directly examining the TLCP component's molecular orientation and the dispersed phase morphology. The rheology and morphology of blends of polybutylene terephthalate and a thermotropic copolyester (HX-8000 series, DuPont) at concentrations varying from 5 to 30 wt % of TLCP are characterized. It is found that the blends show viscosity reduction as well as stable fiber formation at shear rates dependent on the TLCP content. Wide-angle X-ray scattering is performed to measure the degree of molecular orientation of the TLCP phase. A deconvolution scheme isolates the scattering from the TLCP in the blends and a molecular model enables extracting an experimental orientation factor. It was found that a highly microfibrillated TLCP phase is coupled with an increase in the TLCP molecular orientation to values close to the pure TLCP at similar processing conditions. Further, the microfibrillated TLCP phase is found to be stable within the testing time. Current hypotheses about fiber formation in immiscible blends are tested against the experimental observations. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Polym Sci B: Polym Phys 36: 1769–1780, 1998     

Deformation of thermotropic liquid crystalline polymer droplets dispersed in a polyamide

The deformation of dispersed droplets of a thermotropic liquid crystalline polymer in a polyamide (nylon 6) matrix was studied by morphological observation. An immiscible binary blend and compatibilized ternary blends were studied. For the uncompatibilized blend, the morphology of the blends was that of a typical immiscible blend showing poor adhesion and no deformation of the dispersed phase. For the compatibilized blend, deformation of the dispersed TLCP phase was observed even if the viscosity of the matrix was lower than that of the TLCP phase. Compatibilizer addition improved the interfacial adhesion, hence enabled TLCP droplets to be deformed. A simple mechanism for the deformation of TLCP droplets was presented considering characteristic rheological properties of the TLCP melt.     

A rheological and morphological study of a copolyester liquid crystal/polypropylene blend system

The effects of composition and shear rate on the rheology and morphology of blends of LC–3000, a thermotropic liquid crystalline polymer consisting of 60/40 of hydroxybenzoic acid and poly(ethylene terephthalate), with polypropylene were studied. It was found that the rheological properties depend in a complex manner on composition and applied shear. Both positive and negative deviations from the log-additivity rule were observed at low shear rates. Significant viscosity reduction was measured when the dispersed phase was a nematic TLCP. The accompanying microstructural transitions were characterized a posteriori, and it was found that the state of dispersion of the TLCP phase also influences the viscosity reduction phenomenon. A nematic, fibrillar TLCP phase shows a viscosity reduction of the order of fourfold with respect to the viscosity of the matrix. Another important finding was that the stability of these fibers would not be expected from work on other non-TLCP-containing immiscible blends. This suggests that the unique rheology of the TLCP minor phase is relevant to the formation of stable fibers. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Interfacial slip at the thermotropic liquid‐crystalline polymer/poly (ethylene naphthalate) interface

The unique rheological properties of a thermotropic liquid‐crystalline polymer (TLCP) were first studied. The thermal and shear history of the TLCP was found to play a critical role in its rheological properties. Crystallites were observed in the TLCP melt even above the melting temperature detected by differential scanning calorimetry. Because interfacial slip had long been suggested as an important reason for viscosity reduction in TLCP/thermoplastic blends, for the first time, interfacial slip at the TLCP/poly(ethylene naphthalate) (PEN) interface was investigated with an energy model. The model quantified the degree of interfacial slip at the TLCP/PEN interface by an energy factor. The calculated energy factors revealed a high degree of interfacial slip at the TLCP/PEN interface. It was proposed that the high rigidity of rodlike TLCP chains and their alignment parallel to the interface prevented mutual entanglements at the TLCP/PEN interface. The lack of mutual entanglements promoted the interfacial slip. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Polym Sci Part B: Polym Phys 42: 302–315, 2004     

Miscibility and crystallization kinetics in blends of poly(ethylene terephtalate) and thermotropic liquid crystal polyesters

Binary blends of poly(ethylene terephtalate) (PET) and thermotropic liquid crystal polyester (TLCP) have been prepared by both solution and melt blending methods. The TLCPs utilized were Vectra (Hoechst Celanese), TR-4, a TLCP synthesized in our laboratory, and a block copolymer consisting of three TR-4 units followed by three PET units. The phase behavior of the blends was studied by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), dynamic mechanical thermal analysis (DMTA) and optical microscopy. The results show that none of the blends is miscible, but significant interactions exist between the PET phase and the TLCP phase in the case of TR-4 and TR-4 block copolymer blends. These interactions lead to a different nucleation mechanism in these blends compared to that in PET/Vectra.     

Blends of a thermotropic liquid‐crystalline polymer and a poly(butylene terephthalate)/organoclay nanocomposite

Blends were synthesized via the melt blending of a thermotropic liquid‐crystalline polymer (TLCP) and a poly(butylene terephthalate) (PBT) hybrid containing 2 wt % organoclay. A TLCP was also synthesized with side groups based on a nematic liquid‐crystalline phase. The blends of TLCPs with PBT hybrids were melt‐spun with different concentrations of the liquid‐crystalline polymer and different draw ratios (DRs) to produce monofilaments. Regardless of the TLCP concentration in the hybrids, transmission electron microscopy photographs proved that the clay layers of the organoclay were intercalated and partially exfoliated in the PBT matrix. At DR = 1, the maximum enhancement in the ultimate tensile strength was observed for blends containing 8% TLCP, and the tensile strength decreased with further increases in the TLCP concentration. The initial modulus monotonically increased with increasing TLCP concentration. When DR increased from 1 to 44, the increased stretching caused the tensile property to decrease significantly, debonding to occur, and voids to form. These trends with increasing DR were observed in all the systems. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Polym Sci Part B: Polym Phys 42: 3667–3676, 2004
