In the first paper of the series, a statistical model for star-branched polycondenzation of AB type monomers in the presence of a polyfunctional agent RAf was completely developed. The analytical expressions obtained for the number-average (D̄P̄n̄) and weight-average (D̄P̄w̄) degree of polymerization, and the dispersion index (D) for whole polymer species, linear and star macromolecular chains, are now derived as function of the feed and of end-group analysis. Also the important molecular parameter, mole fraction of star-branched polymer, can be evaluated. Some numerical examples are presented. It is illustrated that the molecular weight properties of the linear and star-branched polymers in the mixture of the products, very important factors for the application of this kind of polymeric materials, can be determined starting from the feed and terminal group analysis. Polymerization and oligomerization of 6-aminocaproic acid were carried out in the presence of trimesic (T3) acid and 2,2,6,6-tetra(β-carboxyethyl)cyclohexanone (T4) and EDTA as tri- and terra-functional agents. The molecular weights calculated are in good agreement with those obtained by Size Exclusion Chromatography (SEC), end group analysis and NMR spectra. 相似文献
New experimental approach was used for analysis of molecular weight distribution (MWD) of polymers produced over titanium-magnesium catalysts (TMC). Polymers were fractionated on to fractions with narrow MWD (polydispersity (PD) values Mw/Mn ≤ 2). Then some of these fractions were combined to get the minimal quantity of fractions with PD values close to 2 (Flory components). It was found that three fractions corresponding to three groups of active centers are sufficient for proper fitting experimental MWD curve for PE obtained over TMC with different Ti content and with different hydrogen concentration in polymerization. 相似文献
In this work optically addressed liquid crystal spatial light modulators are experimentally investigated. Local reorientation of molecules in the modulator and local changes of effective refractive index neff (x,y) are induced by modulated light intensity I (x,y). We present preliminary results of measurements of phase shifts in optically addressed liquid crystal panels using a Mach-Zehnder interferometer. Experiments were performed for the panels filled with nematic and dye-doped nematic liquid crystals. Optical addressing was realized by Ar+ laser beam (λ = 514.5 nm) while the reading beam was supplied by He-Ne laser (632.8 nm). The operation voltage was in the range 4 - 20 V. The total phase shift under the influence of addressing light for the studied systems was 2 - 6 pagr;, sensitivity to the addressing light ∼ μW/cm2 per 2π phase change and speed of response to the light was 20 ms - 30 s with total recovery time 0.5 - 120 s. 相似文献
Summary: Short chain branches distribution (SCBD) is the key factor for high density polyethylene (HDPE) pipe materials to achieve their excellent performance for long term (50 years) applications. However, the precise SCBD characterization of these HDPE materials with relatively low content of comonomer incorporation still remained as a challenge in this field. In this work, two characterization methods, namely temperature rising elution fractionation (TREF) cross step crystallization (SC) (TREF + SC) and TREF cross 13C-NMR (TREF + 13C-NMR), have been respectively used to qualitatively and quantitatively investigate the SCBD for two HDPE pipe materials (PE-1 and PE-2 with different long term performances) with small amount of 1-hexene incorporation prepared from SiO2-supported silyl chromate catalyst system (S-2 catalyst) during UNIPOL gas phase polymerization. The comparison of SCBD between the two samples showed that: although short chain branches of PE-2 with good performance were less than those of PE-1 with bad performance, PE-2 showed less comonomer incorporation on the low crystallinity and low molecular weight (MW) fractions keeping even higher comonomer incorporation on the high crystallinity and high MW parts compared with PE-1. This difference on the SCBD for PE-1 and PE-2 was thought to be the key factor which is responsible for their great difference on environment slow crack resistance (ESCR). Moreover, TREF + SC method further reflected the intra- and inter-molecular heterogeneities of each fraction from the two HDPE samples through the lamella thickness distribution compared with TREF + 13C-NMR. 相似文献
A method of nonaqueous capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE) has been developed to characterize block (co)polymers of poly(ethylene oxide) and poly(styrene) containing metallo bis(terpyridine) complexes as bridging units. Specific CZE separation conditions had to be applied, with barium perchlorate dissolved in N-methylformamide (NMF) as background electrolyte and OV-1701-OH deactivated capillaries. For detection UV absorption was measured at a wavelength of 316 nm. Metallo diblock polymers with molecular weights up to 30,000 Da could be analyzed by the proposed nonaqueous CZE method. Experiments performed with polymeric compounds containing Fe, Ni or Ru as central metal ions showed that their electrophoretic mobilities were independent of the type of metal ion. Therefore, the data on the size of the polymeric compounds could be obtained using just one set of calibration standards. Polydispersities of the samples calculated from the experimental results were in correlation with the polydispersities of the polymers used in the synthesis of the metallo diblock polymers. Several polymeric samples contained metallo mono(terpyridine) complexes as impurities. These by-products could be separated from the main product. With symmetrical diblock polymers only one by-product was detected, while with an asymmetric diblock polymer two types of mono-complexes were found. The amount of the mono-complexes present as impurities was dependent on the type of central metal ion (Ni > Fe >> Ru). 相似文献
Two new polymeric structures containing ferrocene units along the chains, namely poly(silyl ester)s, have been synthesized and characterized: a geminal poly(silyl ester) (g-PSE) and one having a disiloxane spacer between the silyl ester groups (s-PSE). The condensation polymerization of AA/BB monomer systems in solution was used in both cases as preparation method involving a silicon-containing diol, (diphenylsilane diol or 1,3-bis(hydroxy)-tetramethyldisiloxane), and 1,1′-di(chlorocarbonyl)ferrocene. The polymers were investigated by differential pulse voltammetry in order to evaluate the redox behavior. Due to the presence of the silyl ester groups in the chain, these polymers are hydrolytically degradable. 相似文献
This study considers step‐growth polymerizing systems of general type “AfiBgi” whereby one or more of the reacting monomer species bear at least three reactive groups. The random polymerization process will lead to a population of polymer molecules in which the individual molecules may differ widely with respect to degree of polymerization and number of branch points. This study presents an algorithmic method to calculate the statistical distribution of weight over these two molecular properties. The method uses bivariate generating functions, recurrences, and integer arithmetic.
Fluorinated chiral liquid-crystalline elastomers (LCEs) were graft copolymerized by a one-step hydrosilylation reaction with polymethylhydrogenosiloxane, a fluorinated LC monomer 4-(2,2,3,3,4,4,5,5,6,6,7,7,8,8,8-pentadecafluorooctanoyloxy)phenyl 4-(undec-10-enoyloxy)benzoate (PPUB) and a chiral crosslinking LC monomer (3R,3aR,6S,6aR)-6-(undec-10-enoyloxy)hexahydrofuro[3,2-b]furan-3-yl 4′-(4-(allyloxy)benzoyloxy)biphenyl-4-carboxylate (UHAB). The chemical structure, liquid-crystalline behavior and polarization property were characterized by use of various experimental techniques. The effective crosslink density of the LCEs was characterized by swelling experiments. The thermal analysis results showed that the temperatures at which 5% weight loss occurred were greater than 250 °C for all the LCEs, and the residue weight nearby 600 °C increase with increasing chiral crosslinking components in the polymer systems. All the samples showed chiral smectic C mesophase when they were heated. The glass transition temperature and mesophase-isotropic phase transition temperature of fluorinated elastomers increased slightly with increase of chiral crosslinking mesogens in the polymer systems, but the enthalpy changes of mesophase-isotropic phase transition decreased slightly. In XRD curves, all the samples exhibited strong sharp reflections at small angles suggesting smectic layered packing arrangement. These fluorinated chiral LCEs showed 0.1–0.2 μC/cm2 of spontaneous polarization with increasing chiral crosslinking component. 相似文献
A novel kind of hexa-armed fluorene-benzene copolymer based on a hexaazaisowurtzitane core was synthesized through Suzuki coupling polycondensation.The introduction of this bulky caged-core could not only enhance the photoluminescence quantum efficiency,but also improve the electroluminescence properties,especially suppress the common green-color emission of polyfluorenes(PFs) material during device operation.These features can be attributed to the successful suppression of PF's chain aggregation which p... 相似文献
The molecular weight distribution function (MWD) of AB, B type condensation polymers obtained by adding AB monomers in batches has been derived by statisticaland kinetic methods. Calculations show that the MWD of condensation polymers obtained by this process is much narrower than the Flory distribution and agrees with the Monte Carlo results very well. 相似文献
