Effects of Electron Beam Irradiation on the Structural Properties of PVA/PAM/CMC Ternary Polymer Blends

Ternary miscible blends based on various ratios of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA), poly(acrylamide) (PAM) and carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) were prepared by solution casting in the form of thin films. The structure‐property behavior of the ternary PVA/PAM/CMC blends, before and after they had been exposed to various doses of electron beam irradiation, was investigated by FT‐IR spectroscopy, SEM, XRD and stress‐strain curves. The visual observation showed that the cast films of the individual polymers PVA, PAM, and CMC and their blends over a wide range of composition are clear and transparent indicating the miscibility of PVA/PAM/CMC ternary blends. The FT‐IR analysis of pure polymers or their ternary blends before or after electron beam irradiation proved the formation of hydrogen bonding. In addition, it was found that the intensity of the different absorption bands depends on the ratio of PAM and CMC in the ternary blend. The XRD patterns showed that the peak position for the ternary blends decreases with increasing the ratio of CMC in the blend. However, the peak position for the ternary blend based on equal ratios of pure polymers was not affected by blending and was found in the same position as in the XRD pattern of pure PVA. The SEM micrographs give support to the visual observation indicating the complete miscibility of PVA/PAM/CMC ternary blends. The improvement in morphology leads to improvement in the tensile mechanical properties of the ternary polymer blends.     

Effect of Electron Beam Irradiation on the Properties of High Styrene Rubber/Styrene Butadiene Rubber Blends

High styrene rubber (HSR)/styrene butadiene rubber (SBR) blends at different ratios were exposed to various doses of electron beam irradiation. The effect of irradiation dose and blend ratios on the mechanical properties and shape memory characteristics in terms of strain fixation) rate (R_f) and strain recovery rate (R_r) was investigated. The results revealed that rich styrene blends displayed higher tensile strength and hardness than low styrene content blends at all irradiation doses. However, elongation at break, and toughness were lower for rich styrene content. Also, it was observed that for most specimens, the tensile strength, elongation at break and hardness increases up to100 kGy. Increasing irradiation doses resulted in slight deterioration in some mechanical properties only for low styrene content at150 kGy. According to the normalized tensile stress at 25% elongation, it was found that the contribution of irradiation in enhancing the mechanical properties is higher for rich butadiene blends. On the other hand, it was observed that rich styrene content blends possess higher R_f and R_r at all the irradiation doses and stretching temperatures. However, the increase of irradiation dose decreases R_f values; the extent of this decrease depends on the blend ratios. Conversely, for all blends, R_r were increased by increasing irradiation dose and styrene content ratios.     

Effect of Ultraviolet Irradiation on Structure and Properties of HDPE and HDPE/STC Blends

Abstract

Some oxygen‐containing groups such as C?O and C–O were introduced onto high‐density polyethylene (HDPE) chains by an ultraviolet irradiation technique without the addition of any additives, and this method causes no chemical pollution to the environment. This groups content increases with irradiation time. Gelation took place in the HDPE irradiated for 16?hr, and the gel content also increases with irradiation time. After irradiation, the crystal shape and crystalline plane spacing of HDPE remained unchanged; the melting temperature decreased, whereas the crystallinity and hydrophilicity increased. Due to the introduction of polar groups, the interfacial interaction between sericite–tridymite–cristobalite (STC) particles and irradiated HDPE, and the mechanical properties of irradiated HDPE/STC (60/40) blend were improved. Compared with the yield and impact strength of HDPE/STC (60/40) blend, those of the corresponding blend irradiated for 16?hr were increased from 25.1?MPa and 56?J/m to 29.1?MPa and 283?J/m, respectively.     

Miniemulsion Copolymerization of Ethylene and Vinyl Acetate

The copolymerizations of a gaseous monomer (ethylene) and a liquid monomer (vinyl acetate) via emulsion and miniemulsion polymerizations are reported. Reactions in which the vinyl acetate was introduced in both batch and semibatch modes are carried out. (Ethylene introduction is always in a semibatch model since the polymerization is carried out under a constant pressure of ethylene in the reactor headspace.) The results are compared, drawing the conclusion that miniemulsion copolymerization has an advantage over conventional emulsion polymerization for monomers with very low water solubility (including gaseous monomers) due to their nucleation in monomer droplets without transport through the aqueous phase.

     

Long-Range Processing Correlation and Morphological Fractality of Compatibilized Blends of PS/ HDPE/ SEBS Block Copolymer

Summary: Processing and compatibilization effects of a commercially available styrene/ ethylene-butylene/ styrene (SEBS) compatibilizer on the morphological structure, rheological and mechanical properties of blends of polystyrene (PS) and high density polyethylene (HDPE) were investigated. The rheological behaviour of the blends melt during processing was followed by measuring torque; extrusion capacity output and melts back-pressure in a twin screw extruder. The processing parameters were decreased with the HDPE content. The results show that SEBS compatibilizer can yield compatibilization by substantially reducing torque and increasing the back-pressure. However, the Hurst indices of melt processing parameters are increased with compatibilization. Near-infrared spectra had been described by the Hurst index H_NIR which is then related to HDPE content in the blends. The correlation between the blend compositions, morphological structure, mechanical and rheological properties and processing parameters was established and discussed on base of correlation with the fractal indices obtained from the SEM microphotographs of PS/HDPE/SEBS blends.     

Simultaneous Enhancement of Mechanical and Dynamic Mechanical Properties of Natural Rubber/Recycled Ethylene-Propylene-Diene Rubber Blends by Electron Beam Irradiation

Mechanical and dynamic mechanical properties of natural rubber/recycled ethylene-propylene-diene rubber (NR/R-EPDM) blends were simultanoeusly enhanced by electron beam (EB) irradiation. The cross-linking promoter, trimethylolpropane triacrylate (TMPTA), was also introduced into the blends to induce the cross-linking. By applying EB irradiation, the tensile modulus, hardness, swelling, cross-link density, and storage modulus increased with increase in the irradiation dose; an irradiation dose of 50 kGy was efficient to gain optimum tensile strength. The formation of irradiation-induced cross-links after EB irradiation is a major concern for the enhancement of mechanical, swelling resistance, and dynamic mechanical properties of the blends.

采用熔融共混法制备了聚乙烯醇(PVA)/高密度聚乙烯(HDPE)共混物,引入马来酸酐接枝高密度聚乙烯(HDPE-g-MAH)对体系进行增容。利用SEM、小振幅震荡剪切、溶剂提取、拉伸测试考察组成和增容剂含量对共混物相形貌、动态流变性质、相连续性和力学性能的影响。结果表明,当HDPE质量分数达到20%~30%时,PVA/HDPE/HDPE-g-MAH共混物呈现接近共连续的结构;储能模量-频率图中观察到较为明显的第二平台;PVA相的连续度达到98%;共混物的断裂伸长率由5%显著提高到25%左右。另外,当HDPE-g-MAH的含量增大时,共混物的相界面变得模糊,力学性能也随之提高。     

Iodine-Transfer Polymerization (ITP) of Ethylene and Copolymerization with Vinyl Acetate

Controlled radical polymerization of ethylene using different commercially available, cheap, and non-toxic iodo alkyls is performed by iodine transfer polymerization (ITP) under mild conditions (≤100 °C and ≤200 bar). The formed well-defined iodo end-capped polyethylene (PE−I) species is very stable upon storage. Narrow molar-mass distributions (dispersities around 1.6) were obtained up to number average molar masses of 7300 g mol⁻¹. The ethylene copolymerization by ITP (ITcoP) with vinyl acetate allowed to form a broad range of poly(ethylene-co-vinyl acetate) (EVA) containing from 0 to 85 mol % of VAc unit. In addition, EVA-b-PE block copolymers or EVA-b-EVA gradient block copolymers with different content of VAc in the blocks were obtained for the first time using ITP. Finally, reactivity trends were explored by a theoretical mechanistic study. This highly versatile synthetic platform provides a straightforward access to a diverse range of well-defined PE based polymer materials.

Miscibility and Mechanical Behavior of SAN/NBR Blends

Summary: Aiming the development of high toughness polymer materials, blends of poly(styrene-co-acrylonitrile) (SAN) and poly(butadiene-co-acrylonitrile) (NBR) rubbers, with contents of acrylonitrile (AN) varying from 21 to 45%, were prepared by casting, coprecipitation and monoscrew extrusion followed by injection molding. SAN/NBR blends, prepared in the compositions (w/w) 90/10, 80/20, 70/30, 60/40, and 50/50, were characterized by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and Izod impact tests. DSC analyses showed that blends with 33% AN NBR prepared by casting, and with 39% AN NBR prepared by coprecipitation, are partially miscible at 60/40, 70/30 and 80/20 (SAN/NBR) compositions and immiscible for 50/50 compositions. On the other hand, 90/10 SAN/NBR systems were totally miscible. The blends with 45% AN NBR prepared by coprecipitation showed partial miscibility to 50/50, 60/40, 70/30 and 90/10 compositions and total miscibility to 80/20 composition. The NBR addition results in a significant increase in the impact resistance, strongly dependent on the blend composition and the NBR AN content. The best result of impact resistance — 75.2 ± 8.6 (kJ · m⁻²) — was obtained for SAN/NBR 50/50, using 45% AN NBR. This value is 15.7 times bigger than that for pure SAN -4.8 ± 0.7 (kJ · m⁻²).     

Improvements of physical and mechanical properties of electron beam irradiation—crosslinked EVA foams

In this work, ethylene–vinyl acetate (EVA) copolymer foams were prepared and crosslinked by using high‐energy electron beam (e‐beam) radiation (10 MeV). The effect of parameters such as irradiation dose, the contents of foaming agent, radiation activator, and radiation sensitizer on improvement of physical and mechanical properties of the EVA foamed samples were investigated. The foams were obtained through a four‐step process of melt mixing, forming, crosslinking, and foaming. During the melt mixing process EVA was compounded with different amounts of azodicarbonamide (ADCA) as a blowing agent, zinc oxide (ZnO) as a radiation activator, and trimethylol propane‐trimethacrylate (TMPTMA) as a radiation sensitizer. The samples were compression molded into flat sheets at low temperature (110°C) and were then radiation‐crosslinked by 20–80 kGy e‐beam. Finally, the crosslinked samples were converted to foams by a high temperature (210°C) compression molding process. The foamed samples were analyzed in terms of gel content, density, compression molding set, tensile properties, and micro‐structural features. It was found that an increase in absorbed radiation dosage increases crosslink density, elasticity, percentage recovery, tensile strength, and compression properties of the EVA foams. Due to the increased recovery the percentage of compression set was reduced. Similarly increasing the TMPTMA content in the formulation increased the crosslink density and the resulting mechanical properties. Contrary to these findings, addition of ADCA led to the formation of extra gases which in turn reduced the crosslink density, and resulted in the deterioration of the mechanical properties and hence an increase in the compression set. However, addition of ZnO and TMPTMA led to the formation of smaller and more uniform cell size with improved mechanical properties. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
