紫外光交联聚乙烯的结晶行为

采用熔融共混法制备了高密度聚乙烯(HDPE)/光引发剂(BDK)/交联剂 (TAIC) 共混物,在高压汞灯辐照下制备了一系列不同交联程度的样品. 通过广角X射线衍射(XRD)与差示扫描量热法(DSC)等测试技术研究了紫外光交联对HDPE的晶体结构及非等温结晶动力学行为的影响. 结果表明,紫外光交联不改变HDPE晶型. 随着光交联时间的增加,结晶峰的强度下降,晶粒尺寸变小. 随着降温速率的增加,HDPE与交联HDPE(XLPE)的结晶峰变宽,结晶温度(Tp)向低温方向移动,结晶速率变快,结晶度(Xc)下降. 相比较而言,XLPE的Tp较低,F(T)较大,Xc较小,结晶活化能(ΔE)较高,表明紫外光交联抑制了HDPE的结晶.

潮湿环境下二氧化硅掺杂交联聚乙烯的分子动力学模拟

为了对比研究水分对交联聚乙烯(XLPE)和SiO_2掺杂交联聚乙烯(SiO_2/XLPE)体系的影响,采用分子动力学方法,建立了含水质量分数分别为0,0.5%和1%的6个XLPE和SiO_2/XLPE模型.采用温度比体积曲线法得出随着水含量的增加,XLPE的玻璃化温度(T_g)依次为273K,258K和251K,而SiO_2/XLPE体系为285K,271K和266K.结果表明掺杂SiO_2提高XLPE的T_g,水分降低两体系的T_g.计算300K下两体系的弹性模量和剪切模量,结果表明水分降低了其机械性能,掺杂SiO_2提高其机械性能.此外,拟合均方位移曲线发现随着温度的上升水分子扩散系数增加,而掺杂SiO_2抑制了水分子的扩散.因为添加SiO_2后其表面羟基与水分子形成氢键,并且水分子自身由于氢键发生团聚而使得水分子聚集在SiO_2周围.研究结果可对XLPE和SiO_2/XLPE体系的微观水树枝现象和老化过程提供参考.

通过UV-Vis、FTIR、DSC、以及色差、力学性能的测试表征,实时追踪分析了在紫外光老化过程中,含Pb、Sn以及Ca-Zn热稳定剂的PVC体系微观结构和宏观性能的演变过程.结果表明,在相同光老化条件下,PVC/Pb、PVC/Sn和PVC/Ca-Zn体系的微观结构变化规律基本一致,过程中主要的化学反应是,大分子吸收光能后,发生脱HCl生成共轭双键的反应、生成羰基的氧化反应、交联反应和降解反应;不同热稳定剂的作用,主要表现在对于微观结构变化的幅度和动力学过程的影响不同.相应地,3种体系的外观色差和力学性能的变化规律也相似,但色差的变化程度和速度以及老化后力学性能的保持率因所含热稳定剂的不同而不同,其中含Sn体系的颜色稳定性最好,含Pb体系的力学性能保持率最高。     

煤改性聚乙烯塑料的降解性能及其机理探讨

通过对力学性能、红外光谱、粘均分子量及扫描电镜的分析,研究了煤/聚乙烯塑料在室内加速老化实验中的降解性能,并运用降解机理对实验过程进行解析及验证。结果表明,煤降解剂引发的交联和降解反应控制了薄膜的强度,使其柔韧性一直降低,且在整个120h光照过程中,断裂伸长率一直呈下降趋势;72h前是聚合物的氧化诱导期及衰变期,之后进入完全降解期。煤在改性塑料光照过程中引发自由基反应,引入羰基,导致聚乙烯大分子断链降解;共聚物的粘均分子量整体呈降低趋势,说明光照促进聚合物的降解,降解和交联交替控制着反应。煤/聚乙烯的光降解过程遵循链引发、链增长、链终止反应机理,在煤大分子光催化作用下,改变了聚乙烯常规光降解过程,加速了聚乙烯大分子断链和分子量降低。运用煤/聚乙烯塑料降解机理,能够解释样品力学性能变化、化学结构中羰基指数变化、分子量降低及降解过程中的现象和规律。

Photostabilization study of ethylene-butyl acrylate copolymers functionalized in the molten state with hindered amine light stabilizers (HALS)

Hindered Amine Light Stabilizers (HALS), N-methylated and O-alkylhydroxylamine, were successfully anchored onto an ethylene-co-butyl acrylate (BA) by a transesterification reaction in the molten state. The content of HALS bonded to the EBA was calculated from the atomic ratio (N/C) determined by X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS). After reaction times of 5–30 min in the molten state the content of bonded HALS attained values from 0.17 to 0.63%. The modified EBA with HALS were studied by Chemiluminescence emission and the photostabilization effect was evaluated under accelerated ageing in the presence of pesticides. The antioxidant effect of HALS bonded to EBA was evaluated by determination of Carbonyl Index (CI) and retention of elongation at break as a function of exposure time and pesticide treatment. The stability of the EBA with anchored HALS exhibited higher performance as shown by low CI-values and correlated with the content of bound HALS and the thermal history of the materials. Also, mechanical properties correlated well with the CI results and the photostabilization of bound HALS was effective until 3150 h of exposure time using pesticides.     

Accelerated water tree aging of crosslinked polyethylene with different degrees of crosslinking

The effect of crosslinking degree on accelerated water tree aging in crosslinked polyethylene (XLPE) was investigated. The peroxide-crosslinking process was adopted to make XLPE specimens with different degrees of crosslinking by controlling the doping content of dicumyl peroxide (DCP) in low-density polyethylene (LDPE). The water blade electrode method was applied to accelerate water-tree aging of LDPE and XLPE specimens (hereafter referred to as the specimens), and their morphologies were observed using an optical microscope. The variation of crystalline morphology and anti-cracking performance of the amorphous region in the specimens were analyzed by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and an electronic universal testing machine. Based on the experimental results, it was found that XLPE has great anti-water-treeing performance compared to LDPE. In addition, the higher the crosslinking degree, the better the anti-water-treeing performance. Although crystal growth is inhibited due to the crosslinking reaction, the density of tie molecular chains greatly increases in the amorphous region and exhibits significantly tighter lamellar stacking, which is the reason that water tree growth is restrained with increasing crosslinking degree.

Correlations between structure and accelerated artificial ageing of XLPE

The elucidation of the structural and morphological changes that occur during the crosslinking of polyethylene and the correlation of these changes with the physical, chemical and ageing resistance is very important to forecast the properties and the performance of the final material.The accelerated ageing of XLPE samples with various degrees of crosslinking has been carried out using two types of artificial weathering equipments, with UV or Xenon light bulbs with different cycles of temperature and humidity, varying time of exposition for both systems. The changes in the properties of the materials have been analyzed by Tensile Tests, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Dynamic-Mechanical Analysis (DMA), X-Ray Diffraction (XRD). The main degradation effects for each level of crosslinking is presented for the pristine XLPE.     

Tailoring the desired optical and mechanical performance of polyester‐plasticized PVC films: the role of different light stabilizers on the photo‐degradation

Effect of hindered amine light stabilizer (HALS: C944) and ultraviolet absorbers (UVAs: UV326, UV531) on the photo‐stabilities of polyester‐plasticized poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) and polyester‐plasticized PVC/pigment yellow (PY) films were studied systematically. Both ultraviolet absorbers (UVAs) and hindered amine light stabilizer (HALS) could slow down the discoloration of polyester‐plasticized PVC and polyester‐plasticized PVC/PY films. However, the addition of UVAs protected polyester‐plasticized PVC films from being discolored and its efficiency is higher than HALS. The specific order of stabilizing effect on the photo‐oxidation is UV326 > UV531 > C944. For the optical performance, both UVAs and HALS could help to maintain the transmittance of visible light after photo‐degradation. The former could effectively adsorb ultraviolet (UV) light and resulted in lower transmittance of UV light. For the polyester‐plasticized PVC/PY systems, even though HALS and UVAs cannot help to maintain the shielding ability in high‐energy visible region after UV irradiation, they can help prevent the loss in transmittance of visible light. The surface morphology exhibited small holes on the surface of the films that contain UV531 or UV326; while large and deep holes were observed on the surface of PVC films without additives, C944‐doped and C944/PY‐doped films, indicating the higher UV‐stabilizing effect of UVAs. With regard to mechanical properties, UVAs and HALS can help to prevent the loss. Our present study systematically revealed the role of different stabilizers on the polyester‐plasticized PVC and polyester‐plasticized PVC/PY systems and paved the way to offer PVC materials with functional optical performance and desired long‐term performance using different light stabilizers.

Synthesis and characterization of novel photosensitive polyimide based on 5‐(2,5‐dioxotetrahydrofuryl)‐3‐methyl‐3‐cyclohexene‐1,2‐dicarboxylic anhydride

A negative type photosensitive polyimide with alicyclic moiety (NPI) was synthesized from 5‐(2,5‐dioxotetrahydrofuryl)‐3‐methyl‐3‐cyclohexene‐1,2‐dicarboxylic anhydride and 4,4‐diaminobenzophenone by one‐step polymerization in m‐cresol. Properties of the polyimides were characterized and a photo‐crosslinking mechanism was investigated using DEPT ¹³C‐NMR and FT‐IR spectroscopy. The negative polyimide showed good photosensitivity on exposure to UV light from a mercury xenon lamp. The polyimide showed remarkable solubility difference after photo‐ irradiation with an exposure dose of 500 mJ/cm². The resulting negative pattern of the photo‐cured NPI exhibited 10 μm resolution. Glass transition temperature of the photo‐crosslinked polyimide was about 307°C, which increased by 10°C compared to that of the polyimide before UV exposure. Transmittance of NPI after photo‐irradiation was about 87% at 500 nm. Copyright © 2004 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
