高熔体强度聚乳酸的研究进展

聚乳酸(PLA)具有完全可再生、完全可降解、生物相容等优异的综合性能,在一次性餐具、日用品、包装材料、纺丝和3D打印等领域具有广阔应用前景。但是,由于PLA是直链脂肪族聚酯,其熔体强度低,导致PLA在使用发泡、熔融纺丝、吹膜、热成型等基于拉伸流动场的加工成型方法时工艺性能较差。因此,提高PLA的熔体强度对于改善其加工性能和促进其产业化推广具有重要的意义。本文综述了改善PLA熔体强度的技术研究进展,主要包括共聚技术、扩链改性技术、自由基反应技术和纳米技术等。

过冷等规聚丙烯熔体的流变学行为

采用毛细管流变仪研究低于表观熔点的过冷聚丙烯熔体的流变学行为.过冷聚丙烯熔体先经过一段诱导期后,熔体发生凝胶化,剪切黏度在短时间内大幅度升高,最终固化结晶.在诱导期中,过冷聚丙烯熔体的流变行为与高于聚丙烯熔点的常规熔体的流变行为相仿.诱导期的长度与温度有关.在160℃下,诱导期的长度足够长,于是使用过冷聚丙烯熔体进行纺丝加工成为可能.实验结果表明,由过冷熔体制备的初生纤维各项性能与由高温熔体制备的初生纤维亦相似,因此,通过降低喷丝头温度的方法发展一种节能降耗的聚丙烯纤维制造技术有潜在的可能性.

熔体静电纺丝研究进展

静电纺丝法是制备超细/纳米纤维的一种有效方法。相对于研究已经较为深入广泛的溶液电纺,熔体电纺还处于研究的初级阶段。但其原料适用性广、无毒无污染及产品转化率高等特点,使其在过滤、生物医药等领域有着广阔的应用前景。同时,熔体电纺也存在装置较复杂、纤维直径较粗等缺陷。本文介绍了目前熔体电纺的各典型装置,总结了用于熔体电纺的聚合物种类、实验工艺,比较了各种聚合物纺丝过程中的参数对纤维物化性质的影响,探讨了熔体电纺纤维的应用,并对其发展方向进行了预测和展望。

以扫描电子显微镜、热重分析仪、差示扫描量热仪、热台偏光显微镜分别研究了聚乳酸/羧基化聚丙烯共混体系的相形态、热性能和结晶形态.结果显示,共混物熔体冷却时,聚乳酸和羧基化聚丙烯均形成球晶,但羧基化聚丙烯球晶较大而十字消光较暗,聚乳酸球晶尺寸较小而十字消光较亮,且聚乳酸球晶产生规则的、不连续的同心环线——裂纹,裂纹厚度约为1~2μm,且裂纹内部有微纤存在.当聚乳酸含量≤50%时,由于聚丙烯上羧基的存在而使共混体系具有较好的相容性.共混物的热分解过程分为三个阶段,热分解温度的变化是聚丙烯上的羧基、聚乳酸和聚丙烯骨架分解三种机制共同作用的结果,少量聚乳酸能够明显提高共混物中聚丙烯上羧基的热稳定性.共混物中的羧基化聚丙烯组分可以发挥稀释剂的作用,大幅度降低了聚乳酸的冷结晶温度.聚乳酸含量≥50%时,共混熔体降温时DSC谱图中聚乳酸和羧基化聚丙烯分别结晶,而聚乳酸含量<50%时,只观察到羧基化聚丙烯的结晶行为.

Tensile drawing,morphology, and mechanical properties of poly(butylene terephthalate)

The concept of the drawing of a molecular network has been employed to derive a total network draw ratio from the combination of the two deformations occurring in the production of poly(butylene terephthalate), PBT, fibers by the consecutive processes of melt spinning and cold drawing. The mechanical properties of PBT can then be more readily explained in terms of increases in this total network draw ratio. However, the preorientation and crystallization that occurs in the melt-spinning process can occur at different strain rates and temperatures, depending on the wind up speed employed, on the extensional viscosity of the polymer, and on the variation of the extensional viscosity with temperature. Therefore, for polymers such as poly(butylene terephthalate), which can exist in two crystalline forms, the morphology of the final drawn fiber might be expected to depend on the first melt-spinning stage of the process as well as on the total network draw ratio. In this work, density, birefringence, mechanical measurements, and WAXD measurements, which have been made on the melt-spun fibers and on the drawn fibers, are described. Small differences in some of the drawn yarn mechanical properties at the same overall network draw ratio are related to the crystallinity and in particular to differences in the proportion of the α and β phases present in the drawn yarn. These in turn are related to differences in the temperature and stress during melt spinning and drawing. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Polym Sci B: Polym Phys 35 : 2465–2481, 1997     

Biodegradable ultra high strength poly(L-lactide) rods for bone fixation

The hydrostatic molecular orientation technique was used to explore the highest mechanical improvements achievable for poly-L-lactide (PLLA). The mechanical attributes of these materials designed for bone fracture fixation devices, i.e. bending strength and modulus were measured and compared with those prepared by stretching method. The starting samples were prepared by conventional melt extrusion at 200 °C followed by hydrostatic extrusion at 140 °C using glycerin filled extruder. Uniaxially stretched rods were prepared by drawing in silicon oil at 120 °C. The physical properties of these rods are inadequate as mechanical supports in the dynamic healing process of the bone. Moreover, they underwent a marked strength deterioration when immersed in aqueous buffered solution for 90 days. On the other hand, the hydrostatic extrusion technique produced rods with progressively higher bending strength that showed only a small drop after 90 days hydrolytic degradation. Micrographs suggested a superior molecular orientation and packing, which could be associated with the improved performance. The hydrostatic extrusion technique proved to be a safe and effective approach for strengthening biodegradable polymeric materials for dynamic mechanical support in orthopedic medical devices.     

Morphology and physical properties of poly(ethylene oxide) loaded graphene nanocomposites prepared by two different techniques

Organic–inorganic hybrids are artificially created structures presenting novel properties not exhibited by either of the component materials alone. In this contribution one addresses processing, morphology and properties of polymer nanocomposites reinforced graphene. First, synthesis routes to graphite oxide (GO) and foliated graphene sheets (FGS) are illustrated. Physical characterization of these graphene sheets were conducted using atomic force microscopy and X-ray diffraction techniques. Processing, structure and properties of graphene/poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) nanocomposites are discussed. FGS was dispersed into PEO via two different composite manufacturing techniques: melt compounding and solvent mixing. Morphology of dispersed graphene and properties from different blending routes are compared. TEM showed that graphene distributed parallel to the composite surface using solvent method, while distributed randomly in melt blended method. Optical measurements indicated that the transparency of PEO/graphene prepared by solvent method is higher than that of melt blended method in the visible region. Electrical conductivity measurements are employed to evaluate threshold concentration for rigidity and connectivity percolation. The percolation concentration of the composites prepared by solvent method is less than those of melt blended method. The mechanical performance of the composites prepared by solvent method is higher than melt blended. Halpin–Tsai model has been used to confirm the distribution of the graphene into PEO by the two different processing techniques.     

Enhanced thermoelectric performance and novel nanopores in AgSbTe2 prepared by melt spinning

We report a melt-spinning spark-plasma-sintering synthesis process of the polycrystalline p-type material composed of AgSbTe₂ coarse grains and evenly formed 5-10 nm pores that occur primarily on the surface of matrix grains. The formation mechanism of nanopores and their influences on the thermoelectric properties have been studied and correlated. Microstructure analysis shows that the as-prepared sample can be regarded as a nanocomposite of matrix and in situ generated nanopores evenly coated on matrix grains. For the single-phase component and the possible energy-filter effect caused by the nanopores, the electrical transport properties are improved. Moreover, the thermal conductivity is significantly reduced by strong phonon scattering effect resulted from the nanopores. The thermoelectric performance of the as prepared sample enhances greatly and a ZT of 1.65 at 570 K is achieved, increasing∼200% compared with the sample prepared by traditional melt and slow-cooling method.     

Annealing induced variation of crystalline structure and mechanical properties of syndiotactic polypropylene fibers

<正>Syndiotactic polypropylene(sPP) as-spun fiber(sPP1) and drawn fiber(sPP2) were prepared by melt-spinning and melt-spinning/hot-drawing,respectively.The structure transition of the two fibers induced by annealing at different temperatures and the corresponding mechanical properties were subsequently investigated by the combination of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FTIR),wide-angle X-ray diffraction(WAXD) and tensile testing.The results indicate that the chain conformation and crystal forms of the two sPP fibers are not obviously changed at low annealing temperature (40℃).With increasing the annealing temperature,the trans-planar conformation and mesophase in sPP1 and sPP2 fibers can be completely transformed to helical conformation and crystal form I under tension.Upon removing the tension,a small amount of mesophase and trans-planar conformation will be regained.The mechanical properties of the annealed fibers are manifestly dependent on their initial structure and the annealing temperature.     

Alkaline degradation behavior of polyesteramide fibers: surface erosion

In this work, a new kind of aliphatic polyesteramide (PEA) copolymer based on -caprolactone and 6-aminocaproic acid was synthesized by the melt polycondensation method. Biodegradable PEA fibers were processed by the melt-spinning method. ¹H-NMR, FTIR, SEM, and tensile testing were used to characterize the degradation of PEA fibers in concentrated alkaline solution. The PEA fiber undergoes surface erosion in such concentrated alkaline solutions.     

Study on the Influence of Melt Processing on Segmented Polyurethanes Morphology

A study on thermoplastic polyurethanes (TPU) is described. The investigation focuses on morphology of TPU parts depending on processing conditions and its relation with mechanical and thermal properties. It was found that TPU materials present different crystalline structures depending on chemical composition and melt processing conditions during part manufacturing. Due to that fact, strong variations in mechanical and tribological properties are expected.     

Study of properties of the glass batch melting filter dust

The filter dust from the container glass production was studied by the X-Ray powder diffraction, differential thermal analysis (DTA), X-Ray fluorescent spectroscopy, and Raman spectroscopy. The analysis of the elemental composition indicated that the major portion (≈96 wt%) of filter dust is comprised of sulfates. Predominant abundance of sodium sulfate was confirmed by comparative DTA of investigated filter dust. The characteristic redox property (COD—Chemical Oxygen Demand) was determined. The raw materials used in manufacturing of container glass in Vetropack Nem?ová with 0, 25, 50, 75 or 100 wt% of filter dust as a substitution of sulfate raw material were used for the preparation of samples of glass batch. Thermal properties of prepared samples were characterized by means of DTA. The substitution of sulfate raw material by filter dust does not significantly affect the thermal properties of the examined glass batches and consequently the course of the glass melting.
