酚醛树脂的增容作用对聚甲醛/丁腈橡胶共混物的韧性、结晶形态和亚微相态的影响

考察了酚醛树脂(Novolak)的增容作用对聚甲醛(POM)/丁腈橡胶(NBR)共混物的韧性、结晶形态和亚微相态的影响.实验结果表明,POM与NBR不相容,直接共混不能提高POM的韧性;添加Novolak后,当NBR质量分数为40%时共混物发生“脆-韧”转变.POM/NBR共混物中POM球晶尺寸大,易形成应力集中点,导致增韧效果不佳;Novolak可通过与POM的分子链间相互作用,改变POM分子链固有的规程和排列方式,使球晶显著减小.亚微相态显示,POM/NBR呈现“海-岛”结构相态,NBR在基体中分散性很差;添加Novolak可提高NBR在基体中的分散性;当NBR质量分数达到40%时,NBR在基体中呈现带状网络结构.网带结构能够终止受外力作用而在基体中产生的银纹和剪切屈服,增加了共混物的破裂能,从而使共混物的韧性显著提高.

高密度聚乙烯共混调控烯烃嵌段共聚物拉伸性能

通过熔融共混法制备了高密度聚乙烯(HDPE)与烯烃嵌段共聚物(OBC)的共混物,研究了HDPE含量对共混体系结晶和拉伸行为的影响.实验结果表明,共混物熔体存在相分离.结晶时两组分互相影响,出现共结晶现象.共混物具有优异弹性回复与高断裂伸长率,而拉伸模量与断裂强度随着HDPE含量增加而逐渐增大.借助Slip-link橡胶弹性理论对应力应变曲线进行了分析,发现拉伸曲线可以很好的用理论模型进行拟合.将共混物的微观结构变化同模型参数进行了对比,建立了共混物结构和性能的有效关联.     

HDPE／LDPE共混体系的晶性研究

用DSC和WAXD方法考察了高密度聚乙烯和低密度聚乙烯共混体系(HDPE/LDPE)的结晶性能。结果表明,在共混物中HDPE含量大于50%时,共混物只出现HDPE的熔融峰,且熔融温度随HDPE含量减小而降低;LDPE含量大于50%时,DSC图上只出现熔点介于HDPE和LDPE之间的新熔融峰。DSC和WAXD法所测结晶度均偏离共混物的线性加和值,而晶胞参数则随共混物组成变化出现最小值,表明HDPE和LDPE可以形成共晶相容体系。Raman光谱测得介晶相αb值的膨胀,支持这一观点。     

不同分子量的高密度聚乙烯与茂金属线型低密度聚乙烯的相容性

采用动态流变学测试和结晶动力学的方法研究了两种分子量的高密度聚乙烯(HDPE)与茂金属线型低密度聚乙烯(m-LLDPE)共混体系的相容性.流变学研究表明,HDPE/m-LLDPE共混物在低ω区域lgG′-lgω关系曲线偏离线性规律,在熔融态为非均相体系.DSC分析发现HDPE/m-LLDPE共混物体系中HDPE的熔点随着m-LLDPE含量的增多而逐渐下降,说明HDPE与m-LLDPE二者具有机械相容性.当HDPE在m-LLDPE的熔体中等温结晶,分子量较高的HDPE结晶速率与纯HDPE相近,m-LLDPE的含量变化对Avrami指数n的影响不大;分子量较低的HDPE指数n和半结晶时间t1/2随m-LLDPE含量的增加逐渐增大,结晶速率随着m-LLDPE含量的增加逐渐下降,表明熔融态的m-LLDPE和HDPE存在着较强的分子间相互作用,二者具有一定的相容性.

Synthesis and evaluation of substituted pyrazoles palladium(II) complexes as ethylene polymerization catalysts

The substituted pyrazole palladium complexes, (3,5-^tBu₂pz)₂PdCl₂ (1) (3,5-Me₂pz)₂PdCl₂ (2), (3-Mepz)₂PdCl₂ (3) and (pz)₂PdCl₂ (4) (pzH=pyrazole), can be prepared from the reaction of (COD)PdCl₂ with the appropriate pyrazole. The chloromethyl derivative, (3,5-^tBu₂pz)₂PdCl(Me) (5), was prepared from (COD)PdClMe and ^tBu₂pzH. X-ray crystal structure determination of 1 and 5 established their structures in the solid state to be the trans-isomer. After activation of 1-4 and 5 with methylaluminoxane (MAO) the resulting palladium complexes were used as catalysts in ethylene polymerization, yielding linear high-density polyethylene (HDPE). The highest activity was observed for (3,5-^tBu₂pz)PdClMe.     

Composites based on HDPE filled with BaTiO3 submicrometric particles. Morphology,structure and dielectric properties

Composites of high density polyethylene, HDPE, filled with submicrometric particles of BaTiO₃, BT, have been prepared. Uniform dispersion of the particles was achieved by high energy ball milling and subsequent hot pressing. Using SEM, FTIR, TGA-DTA and stress-strain tests, studies of the structural, morphological and mechanical features of the composites have been carried out. Frequency response analysis, dielectric strength and resistivity measurements were also performed to evaluate the final electrical properties as a function of the processing and the amount of BaTiO₃ particles. From the analysis of the microscopic structure, it can be deduced that any change in the properties of the materials must be solely ascribed to the presence of the BT particles. A balance between an enhancement of space charge polarization with the presence of BT and the existence of permanent dipoles associated to them might explain an initial increase in the dielectric losses with the BT content, and its later decrease at higher BT content. The observed decrease in resistivity and breakdown voltage when increasing the amount of BaTiO₃ can be explained by the lower resistivity of BT particles at room temperature and the growing accumulation of space charge.     

Effect of Electron Beam Irradiation and Ethylene Vinyl Acetate Copolymer on the Properties of NBR/HDPE Blends

The mechanical and physical properties of blends based essentially on nitrile butadiene rubber (NBR) and different ratios of high density polyethylene (HDPE) up to 25 parts per hundred part of rubber (phr) before and after electron beam irradiation were investigated. The values of tensile strength (TS), tensile modulus at 50% elongation (M₅₀), hardness and gel fraction % (GF%) of NBR/HDPE blends were increased with both irradiation dose and by increasing the content of HDPE in the blends. On the other hand, the values of elongation at break (E _b ) were decreased with both irradiation dose and the content of HDPE in the blends. By loading NBR/HDPE (100/25) blend with ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) copolymer the mechanical and physico-chemical properties were improved. Moreover, the degree of improvement is proportional to the loading content of EVA.     

反相气相色谱法测定高密度聚乙烯溶解度参数

采用反相气相色谱(IGC)技术测定了高密度聚乙烯(HDPE)在303.15～343.15 K温度范围内的溶解度参数(δ2)及相关指标。以正己烷(n-C6)、正庚烷(n-C7)、正辛烷(n-C8)、正壬烷(n-C9)、三氯甲烷(CHCl3)及乙酸乙酯(EtAc)作为探针分子溶剂,经计算获得了探针溶剂的比保留体积(V0g)、摩尔吸收焓(ΔHS1)、无限稀释摩尔混合焓(ΔH∞l)、摩尔蒸发焓(ΔHv)、无限稀释活度系数(Ω∞1)以及探针溶剂与HDPE的Flory-Huggins相互作用参数(χ∞1,2)等指标。结果表明,上述6种探针溶剂在测定温度范围内均为HDPE的不良溶剂。此外,还推导出了HDPE在室温(298.15 K)下的溶解度参数δ2为19.00 (J/cm3)0.5。     

(NBR/PVC)/CuSO_4复合材料中配位交联反应的研究

采用差示扫描量热法(DSC)和傅立叶转换红外光谱(FT-IR)对丁腈橡胶/聚氯乙烯合金/无水硫酸铜((NBR/PVC)/CuSO4)混合物的配位交联反应进行了研究.结果表明,(NBR/PVC)/CuSO4共混物在升温过程中出现两个放热峰,分别归因于腈基(—CN)和CuSO4之间的配位交联反应和体系中NBR/PVC的自交联反应.通过对共混物配位交联反应动力学参数的计算发现,混合物中CuSO4含量的多少并未对体系配位交联反应的进行产生影响.同时共混物中PVC的存在促进了配位交联反应的进行,降低了铜离子(Cu2+)与—CN之间配位交联反应的表观活化能Ea.     

Application of strain-time correspondence as a tool for structural analysis of acrylonitrile-butadiene copolymer nanocomposites with various organoclay loadings

Acrylonitrile-butadiene copolymer (NBR) nanocomposites were prepared with varied silicate loadings by the melt mixing between NBR and organoclays (OCs) containing intercalants with different polarity and chain length. WXRD exhibited that the NBR nanocomposites had an intercalated structure with distinct differences in gallery height depending on the intercalant characteristics. However, WXRD failed to show a structural change with increasing silicate contents. Hence, tensile strain-stress measurements were carried out at various strain rates (0.162, 0.0975, and 0.0187 s⁻¹), and then the results of tensile measurement applied to the strain-time correspondence (STC) principle, resulting in the tensile modulus master curves of the NBR nanocomposites as a function of time. For pure NBR, a master curve was constructed using only the horizontal shift factor, indicating that the material was structurally homogeneous. However, the NBR nanocomposites required both vertical shift (modulus shift, Γ(α)) and horizontal shift to form the master curves, indicating structural heterogeneity ascribed to the domain structure such as silicate tactoid. From master curves, we found that NBR nanocomposite with OC having polar organic intercalant, NBROC30B, had the lowest n value in the nanocomposites. This indicates that NBROC30B had the most dispersive silicate structure in the nanocomposites due to the polar interaction, being in good agreement with WXRD results. In particular, STC was not applicable at all nanocomposites with silicate loadings over 8 wt%, regardless type of organoclay, and tensile strength and toughness of the nanocomposites with silicate loading of 8 wt% were better than expected. These could be explained as the network-like percolation of the silicate tactoids in all nanocomposites with silicate loadings over 8 wt%, which were consistent with the results observed from HR-TEM.     

Solid-state relaxations in linear low-density (1-octene comonomer), low-density,and high-density polyethylene blends

Extensive thermal and relaxational behavior in the blends of linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) (1-octene comonomer) with low-density polyethylene (LDPE) and high-density polyethylene (HDPE) have been investigated to elucidate miscibility and molecular relaxations in the crystalline and amorphous phases by using a differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) and a dynamic mechanical thermal analyzer (DMTA). In the LLDPE/LDPE blends, two distinct endotherms during melting and crystallization by DSC were observed supporting the belief that LLDPE and LDPE exclude one another during crystallization. However, the dynamic mechanical β and γ relaxations of the blends indicate that the two constituents are miscible in the amorphous phase, while LLDPE dominates α relaxation. In the LLDPE/HDPE system, there was a single composition-dependent peak during melting and crystallization, and the heat of fusion varied linearly with composition supporting the incorporation of HDPE into the LLDPE crystals. The dynamic mechanical α, β, and γ relaxations of the blends display an intermediate behavior that indicates miscibility in both the crystalline and amorphous phases. In the LDPE/HDPE blend, the melting or crystallization peaks of LDPE were strongly influenced by HDPE. The behavior of the α relaxation was dominated by HDPE, while those of β and γ relaxations were intermediate of the constituents, which were similar to those of the LLDPE/HDPE blends. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Studying banded spherulites in HDPE by electron microscopy

HDPE is a semi-crystalline thermoplastic polymer, with remarkable physical properties such as high chemical resistivity, high impact strength, and high modulus. Compared to the other semi-crystalline polymers, HDPE mostly possesses a high crystallinity, due to which, it exhibits a unique combination of mechanical and chemical resistance properties. In the present work, we have characterized the crystalline spherulites of neat and formulated HDPE compositions thoroughly characterized by different electron microscopy techniques such as scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). One of the critical steps to obtaining well-resolved SEM images is the sample preparation that typically involves the etching process to elucidate the crystalline spherulites. Though such traditional methodology can effectively be used for neat HDPE, it leads to the creation of undesirable experimental artifacts when used to investigate formulated HDPE compositions. An alternate TEM-based method provides clear images without any artifacts, apart from being a direct and green method and taking relatively a lesser measurement time.     

Acrylonitrile‐Butadiene Rubber (NBR) Prepared via Living/Controlled Radical Polymerization (RAFT)

In the current work we present results on the controlled/living radical copolymerization of acrylonitrile (AN) and 1,3‐butadiene (BD) via reversible addition fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization techniques. For the first time, a solution polymerization process for the synthesis of nitrile butadiene rubber (NBR) via the use of dithioacetate and trithiocarbonate RAFT agents is described. It is demonstrated that the number average molar mass, , of the NBR can be varied between a few thousand and 60 000 g · mol⁻¹ with polydispersities between 1.2 and 2.0 (depending on the monomer to polymer conversion). Excellent agreement between the experimentally observed and the theoretically expected molar masses is found. Detailed information on the structure of the synthesized polymers is obtained by variable analytical techniques such as infrared spectroscopy (IR), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, and electrospray ionization‐mass spectrometry (ESI‐MS).
