高剪切速率对PCL/RGO附生结晶行为影响的原位研究

以聚己内酯(PCL)/还原氧化石墨烯(RGO)复合材料为研究对象, 利用同步辐射小角X射线散射(SAXS)和广角X射线衍射(WAXD)原位分析了75 s^?1的高速率剪切作用前后的附生晶体结构演变及其对本体晶体形成的影响. 研究结果表明, 在剪切后降温160 s后, PCL分子链开始在RGO表面附生, 形成表面结晶层, 同时形成部分PCL本体晶体; 在200~480 s的等温结晶阶段, 大量PCL本体片晶生成并形成规整的周期结构. 较高的剪切速率使体系的黏度降低, 因此在较高的剪切温度下PCL分子链更容易由伸直链转变为无规线团, 不利于PCL分子链在RGO表面形成表面结晶层. 在剪切速率为75 s^?1时, 70 ℃的剪切温度更有利于PCL分子链在RGO表面附生形成表面结晶层.     

单分子链穿插进入双链凝聚线团的分子动力学方法模拟

用分子动力学(MD)方法模拟了聚乙烯(含300个CH₂单元)单链凝聚线团与一个双链处于平衡态的凝聚线团相互穿插的融合过程,考察分析了体系结构演变的能量信息及第三个链的引入对原来两链穿插状态的影响.研究发现,在两部分线团凝聚成一体后,各分子链一方面在表面势能各向异性的作用下试图挤入体系内部,另一方面在构象熵的驱动下又尽可能地占据体系的空间,线团的穿插是在两者共同作用下逐步完成的.第三个链的融入使得原来两个链的质心距离有所增加,链段的邻接程度减弱.

Real-time AFM study of lamellar growth of semi-crystalline polymers

Atomic force microscopy (AFM) has been used to study the lamellar development during the crystallization and melting processes of poly(bisphenol A-co-alkyl ether) (BA-Cn) films. High-resolution and real-time AFM phase imaging enables us to observe the detailed growth process of the lamellae. At the early stage of the lamellar growth, embryos appeared firstly and some disappeared on the film surface after a period of time. The stable embryo developed into a single lamella. Then the lamella developed into a lamellar sheaf through branching and splaying. Our results revealed that the branches of the lamellae were formed by induced nucleation and it was also dependent on the crystallization temperature. Real-time AFM study of the melting, recrystallization and remelting processes of lamellae indicated that the thermal stability of different segments of a single lamella is different and that the thermal stability of the different lamellae is also different even if they develop at the same annealing temperature. The orientation and the development of the lamellae at the characteristic eyes and boundaries of the spherulites are observed in details.

Collapse of a two-state sticky hard sphere chain

The collapse of a homopolymer gaussian chain into a globule is represented as a transition between two states, viz., extended and collapsed. Appropriately, this model has been labeled as the all-or-none view of chain collapse. In the collapsed state, the single polymer partition function is expressed by a single Mayer diagram with the maximum number of f-bonds arising from nonbonded square well interactions. Our target is the dependence of the transition temperature on chain length and the interaction range of the square well, as indicated through the behavior of the radius of gyration and the constant volume heat capacity. Properties of the collapse transition are calculated exactly for chains with three to six backbone atoms and heuristically for long chains using arguments derived from the small chains and from conditions of integrability. Comparison with simulation studies is made.     

A manifestation of the Ostwald step rule: molecular-dynamics simulations and free-energy landscape of the primary nucleation and melting of single-molecule polyethylene in dilute solution

The paper presents numerical results from extensive molecular-dynamics simulations of the crystallization process of a single polyethylene chain with N=500 monomers. The development of the ordered structure is seen to proceed along different routes involving either the global reorganization of the chain or, alternatively, well-separated connected nuclei. No dependence on the thermal history was observed at the late stages of the crystallization. The folding process involves several intermediate ordered metastable states, in strong analogy with the experiments, and ends up in a well-defined long-lived lamella with ten stems of approximately equal length, arranged into a regular, hexagonal pattern. This behavior may be seen as a microscopic manifestation of the Ostwald step rule. Both the metastable states and the long-lived one are evidenced as the local minima and the global one of the free-energy landscape, respectively. The study of the microscopic organization of the lamella evidenced that the two caps are rather flat, i.e., the loops connecting the stems are short. Interestingly, annealing the chain through the different metastable states leaves the average number of monomers per loop nearly unchanged. It is also seen that the chain ends, the so-called cilia, are localized on the surface of the lamella, in agreement with the experiments, and that structural fluctuations take place on the lamella surface, as noted by recent Monte Carlo simulations. The study of the melting process evidences that the degree of hysteresis is small.     

表面温敏聚合物刷的原子力显微镜和石英晶体微天平研究

通过表面引发的原子转移自由基聚合在硅片表面制备了聚（N-异丙基丙烯酰胺）（PNIPAAm）聚合物刷。用原子力显微镜（AFM）分别研究了PNIPAAm的接枝动力学、温度和溶剂性质对厚度的影响以及PNIPAAm链与原子力针尖间的粘附力。结果表明,PNIPAAm链在硅片表面的生长具有很好的可控性。常温下厚度为33nm的PNIPAAm膜在水溶液中的增加到82.4nm;而在甲醇/水（v/v,1:1）溶液中,PNIPAAm分子链处于坍塌收缩状态,厚度降低为45nm;在55℃下干燥所得厚度则仅为22nm。力-距离测量结果表明,在溶液中,PNIPAAm链与原子力针尖之间的粘附力远小于在干态下的粘附力。用石英晶体微天平（QCM-D）对PNIPAAm的可逆相转变进行了研究,结果表明PNIPAAm分子链随温度变化的构象转变是发生在30-34℃之间的连续过程。

Histogram Monte Carlo simulation on phase transitions in single‐polymer systems

Applying the histogram Monte Carlo simulation method and the bond‐fluctuation model, various phase transitions in single‐polymer systems were investigated. The critical transition temperature (Θ point) in the coil‐globule collapse transition of a macromolecular chain is accurately determined. Finite‐size scaling results near the transition point are verified. The first‐order transition associated with the freezing/crystallization of a polymer at a temperature below the Θ point is also observed. The free energy profiles associated with these two transitions are explicitly computed. Furthermore, the unfolding phase transition associated with stretching a collapsed polymer chain is investigated. The free energy profile associated with the transition is explicitly computed. Results on the energy cumulants and free energy profiles provide direct evidences for the first‐order nature of the unfolding phase transition.
