Prediction of Elastic Properties Using Micromechanics of Polypropylene Composites Mixed with Ultrahigh-Molecular-Weight Polyethylene Fibers

In this study, we calculated the elastic properties of polypropylene composites mixed with ultrahigh-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) fibers. We applied micromechanics models that use numerical analysis, conducted finite element analysis using the homogenization method, and comparatively analyzed the characteristics of polypropylene (PP) containing UHMWPE fibers as reinforcement. The results demonstrate that elastic properties improved as the volume fraction of UHMWPE fiber increased. It was confirmed that the fibers had anisotropic elastic properties due to the shape of the fibers. In addition, it is necessary to compare these findings with future experimental results to obtain data for developing UHMWPE–PP composites.

拉伸分子动力学方法研究聚乙烯单链的力学行为

采用拉伸分子动力学方法(steered molecular dynamics,SMD)研究一端固定的聚乙烯单链(singlepolyethylene chain)在被拉伸过程中的力学性质.在拉伸过程中发现平均拉力〈f〉受拉伸速度v的影响,当v<0.05 nm/ps时,〈f〉在250 pN附近会出现一个拉力平台.聚乙烯单链各部分的形状因子在拉伸过程中表现出一定的规律性,总是头部和尾部的形状因子〈δh〉、〈tδ〉先增加然后才是中间部分〈δm〉增加.如果按顺序再释放被拉开的聚乙烯单链,就会出现力学回滞现象,这与Kellermayer等的力学回滞曲线实验是一致的.力学回滞曲线面积表示耗散能〈Ed〉,与速度v满足方程〈Ed〉=a+b×e-cv,而且在v<0.005 nm/ps和v>0.005 nm/ps两个速度区域有不同的特性.〈Ed〉在不同的分子热运动温度区域,也表现出不同的规律性,当温度T>220 K时,〈Ed〉随着温度T的升高而减小,这与Pegoretti等的实验一致,当T<220 K时〈Ed〉随着温度T的升高而增加.     

Polyethylene Fibrids: Preparation and Properties

Polyethylene fibrids are small fibers having lengths of up to some millimeters, which are highly oriented and which have a morphology similar to that of cellulose fibers. The preparation of polyethylene fibrids is based on shear-induced crystallization, a process in which the polyethylene crystallizes from solution under the influence of an elongated flow in the form of so-called shish-kebabs. Polymerization under shear conditions and the flash spinning of polyethylene solutions are the main processes for the preparation of PE fibrids. They may be hydrophilized by an additional process step.—Because of their cellulose-like morphology, (hydrophilized) polyethylene fibrids have interesting properties, e.g. high adsorption capacity and the ability to form hydrogen bonds. In addition, the possibility of undertaking chemical reactions on the surface of the fibrids should be mentioned.     

含咪唑离子聚乙烯离聚体的合成与性能

利用双(β-二酮单亚胺)钛催化乙烯和5-碘甲基降冰片烯(IMNB)的配位共聚,高效合成了高分子量、窄分子量分布和组分可控的烯烃共聚物.将该含有碘甲基侧基的共聚物与N-甲基咪唑进行亲核取代反应,然后再与有机金属盐进行离子交换,制备了一系列带有甲磺酸根(CH3SO3-)、三氟甲磺酸根(CF3SO3-)或双(三氟甲磺酰)亚胺负离子(Tf2N-)的聚乙烯离聚体.研究表明,离子基团的引入会破坏聚合物的结晶,熔融温度和结晶度均随着离子含量的增加而降低.但离聚体的玻璃化转变温度却高于乙烯/IMNB共聚物,表明离子基团之间的强相互作用抑制了链段运动.与共聚物前体相比,聚乙烯离聚体表现出更高的热稳定性、更好的亲水性和更高的抗拉强度.当离子含量相同时,聚乙烯离聚体的抗拉强度顺序为:CH3SO3->CF3SO3->Tf2N-,而断裂伸长率呈现相反的趋势.

Properties of Low Density Polyethylene/Polypropylene Blends

ABSTRACT

The role of di-cumyl peroxide (DCP) as compatibilizer in low density Polyethylene/Polypropylene (LDPE/PP) blends has been explored. Mixtures with varying LDPE/PP ratio were prepared in a Brabender plasticorder and tested for their mechanical properties and calorimetric response. Then peroxide was added at concentrations up to 0.5%, and the mechanical properties of the these new blends were measured. Also, the mixing torque, melt flow index and gel content of the above products were recorded as a function of peroxide concentration. It was found that the incorporation of DCP restricts the thermoplastic characteristics of the melt, which was primarily attributed to branching which occurs in LDPE. This results in an enhancement in the adhesive bonding between the two polymers mainly due to chain entanglements. This was further supported by the fact that mechanical properties of the treated blend were significantly improved.     

Elastic Properties of Semi-Flexible Chains and Networks

Summary: Elastic properties of noncharged polymers of stiffness ranging from flexible to rigid chains are determined from Monte Carlo simulations. The discrete wormlike chain (WLC) model with self-interacting units is applied to chains of intermediate lengths. Elastic free energy and the force-extension profiles of chains of variable stiffness are computed in an isometric ensemble. Occurrence of a plateau on the force-extension curves at intermediate chain stiffness is noted. Qualitative differences are found between force profiles from simulations and from the standard (ideal) WLC model. The single-chain data on influence of bending stiffness were employed in the three-chain model of networks. Stress-strain relations for networks show a highly nonlinear behavior with the marked strain-stiffening effect.

Quantitative Single-Molecule Electrochemiluminescence Bioassay

A single-molecule electrochemiluminescence bioassay is developed here which allows imaging and direct quantification of single biomolecules. Imaging single biomolecules is realized by localizing the electrochemiluminescence events of the labeled molecules. Such an imaging system allows mapping the spatial distribution of biomolecules with electrochemiluminescence and contains quantitative single-molecule insights. We further quantify biomolecules by spatiotemporally merging the repeated reactions at one molecule site and then counting the clustered molecules. The proposed single-molecule electrochemiluminescence bioassay is used to detect carcinoembryonic antigen, showing a limit of detection of 67 attomole concentration which is 10 000 times better than conventional electrochemiluminescence bioassays. This spatial resolution and sensitivity enable single-molecule electrochemiluminescence bioassay a new toolbox for both specific bioimaging and ultrasensitive quantitative analysis.     

Single-Molecule Study of a Plasmon-Induced Reaction for a Strongly Chemisorbed Molecule

Chemical reactions induced by plasmons achieve effective solar-to-chemical energy conversion. However, the mechanism of these reactions, which generate a strong electric field, hot carriers, and heat through the excitation and decay processes, is still controversial. In addition, it is not fully understood which factor governs the mechanism. To obtain mechanistic knowledge, we investigated the plasmon-induced dissociation of a single-molecule strongly chemisorbed on a metal surface, two O₂ species chemisorbed on Ag(110) with different orientations and electronic structures, using a scanning tunneling microscope (STM) combined with light irradiation at 5 K. A combination of quantitative analysis by the STM and density functional theory calculations revealed that the hot carriers are transferred to the antibonding (π*) orbitals of O₂ strongly hybridized with the metal states and that the dominant pathway and reaction yield are determined by the electronic structures formed by the molecule–metal chemical interaction.     

Towards Responsive Single-Molecule Device

Single-molecule devices,which are fabricated by the single molecule bridged through electrodes,provide a promising approach to investigate the intrinsic chemical or physical properties of individual molecules.Beyond the studies of single-molecule wires,a large number of responsive single-molecule junctions or devices with unique chemical or physical properties have been designed and fabricated by introducing the external field,which further offers the chance to explore conductive materials at the molecular level.Here,we summarized the latest studies on the behaviors of single-molecule devices based on the photon,thermal,electric,or magnetic responses,and discussed the development of responsive single-molecule devices in prospect.     

Effect of Accelerated Protons on the Surface Properties of Polyethylene

The irradiation of low-density polyethylene with MeV protons leads to a substantial increase in surface free energy, its acid–base component, and surface polarity due to the appearance of functional groups in the surface layer, as confirmed by ATR IR and Raman spectra. It has been shown that the surface energy of the irradiated polymer depends little on the change in proton energy from 1 to 4 MeV at a fluence of 10¹⁵ proton/cm². It has been found that the oxygen content of the irradiated polymer surface increases as a result of oxidative reactions of the radicals generated during radiolysis and the thermal stability of the polymer decreases.     

Polyethylene Glycol Grafting on Polypropylene Membranes for Anti-fouling Properties

Polyethylene glycol (PEG) chains with different lengths were covalently bonded to polypropylene membranes by means of RF plasma polymerisation of acrylic acid (pp-Aac) followed by mono-amino PEG attachment in liquid phase. Two reactor configurations were tested for the plasma deposition of ppAAc in order to obtain high retention of carboxylic groups in the deposited thin films. A best configuration was assessed evaluating the membrane surface modifications by means of water droplet adsorption time and contact angles measurements, attenuated total reflection (ATR) spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis. PEG chains were covalently bonded to the best plasma modified membranes and the resulting anti-fouling properties were evaluated.     

导热增强聚乙二醇相变复合材料的制备及其性能

本文以聚乙二醇(PEG)为相变材料,通过添加不同的无机填料,采用熔融共混浇筑方式制备了导热增强型相变复合材料。 通过扫描电子显微镜(SEM)、热常数分析仪、差示扫描量热仪(DSC)、红外热成像和热重分析仪研究了所制备复合材料的微观结构、导热性能与相变过程。 研究结果表明,相比于碳酸钙和氧化铝,在相同添加含量下,氮化硼(BN)可有效提高PEG的导热系数,当BN质量分数为40%时,导热系数可达到3.40 W/(m·K);当填料添加量相同时,片状BN和不规则纳米碳酸钙(CaCO₃)比球形氧化铝(Al₂O₃)对PEG具有更加优良的定型效果,在相变过程中,能够更加有效阻隔PEG的流动,保持复合材料的形状稳定性。
