退火条件对山梨醇玻璃焓松弛参数的影响

采用差示扫描量热法(DSC)测定山梨醇样品经历不同时间(t_a)等温退火后, 以10 K·min^-1速率进行升温时玻璃化转变温度(T_g)前后的比热容(C_p(T)). 将Gómez Ribelles (GR)提出的一种基于构型熵的现象学模型用于描述山梨醇玻璃的焓松弛行为, 考察GR模型能否适用于小分子玻璃体系. 结果表明, 单组GR模型参数拟合的曲线均能较好重现对应热历史条件下的山梨醇体系的实验所得C_p(T)曲线, 尽管并未找到不随热历史而变的一组参数作为材料常数, 但与其它现象学模型应用于小分子玻璃时, 其模型参数都随热历史变化而变化的特点相比, GR模型的某些参数基本保持不变. 且在较长退火时间下拟合得到的模型参数普适性较好. 同经历连续降温的山梨醇相比, 等温退火过程得到的松弛极限态参数(δ)的平均值与T_g处比热容增量(ΔC_p(T_g))的比值明显增大, 但仍小于聚合物的值, 表明GR模型提出的亚稳极限态对小分子玻璃的影响值得商榷.     

用DSC研究1,2-丙二醇及其水溶液的协同松弛行为

为了验证基于位形熵的非线性Adam-Gibbs协同松弛模型(AGV)能否用于描述小分子氢键液体的协同松弛行为, 利用差示扫描量热法(DSC)测量了连续升降温条件下1,2-丙二醇及其四种水溶液在115～230 K之间的比热容, 利用曲线拟合技术获得AGV模型参数. 结果表明, AGV模型可以重现体系的实验比热容数据. 1,2-丙二醇表现出与其水溶液明显不同的松弛行为, 但水含量的变化对松弛行为的影响并不明显. 利用AGV方法和Johari方法分别对协同重排活化能(Δμ')和协同重排域(CRR)尺寸(z*)作了分析. 只有选择比聚合物大得多的某一协同重排位形数, 以AGV方法得到的z*才不至于没有物理意义. Johari方法的分析结果表明, T_g温度下1,2-丙二醇的CRR内有约3个分子, 但对应的协同重排位形数(W*)却较聚合物高出很多. Donth的基于热力学温度波动理论的分析表明, 1,2-丙二醇及其水溶液的CRR尺寸随组分的变化趋势可与Δμ'和非指数参数的分析结果相吻合, 但得到的1,2-丙二醇的CRR内有约350个分子, 从而和Johari的分析结果产生巨大差别.     

木糖醇玻璃焓松弛的量热分析

为了考察木糖醇的玻璃化转变和焓松弛行为,寻求碳链长度对线性多元醇玻璃化转变和焓松弛行为的影响,利用差示扫描量热(DSC)技术测定了不同降温速率下木糖醇在玻璃化转变温度(Tg)前后的比热容(Cp),通过曲线拟合获得了TNM(Tool-Narayanaswamy-Moynihan)模型参数,并和其他多元醇类已有研究结果进行对照.结果表明,尽管TNM模型可以很好地重现不同降温速率体系的实验比热容数据,但模型参数并不是材料常数,而是和热历史有关,不同的降温速率对应不同的模型参数.指前因子(A)、非线性参数(x)和非指数参数(β)均随着降温速率的增加而降低,松弛活化焓(△h*)的变化趋势刚好相反.几种线性多元醇玻璃化转变和TNM模型参数的对照表明,玻璃化转变温度,松弛活化焓和动力学脆度(m)都随着烷基碳链长度的增加而增加.虽然非线性参数、非指数参数随碳链长度的增加有降低的趋势,但木糖醇展现出反常变化的情形.

Structural relaxation of glass-forming polymers based on an equation for configurational entropy, 4. Structural relaxation in styrene-acrylonitrile copolymer

The structural relaxation process in styrene-acrylonitrile copolymer has been characterized by means of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) experiments. The results in the form of heat capacity, c_p(T), curves are analyzed using a model for the evolution of the configurational entropy during the process recently proposed by the authors.^11,12 The model simulation allows one to determine the enthalpy (or entropy) structural relaxation times and the β parameter of the Kohlrausch-Williams-Watts equation characterizing the width of the distribution of relaxation times. This material parameters are compared with their analogues determined from the dielectric and dynamic-mechanical relaxation processes. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Dynamic DSC,SAXS and WAXS on homogeneous ethylene-propylene and ethylene-octene copolymers with high comonomer contents

Ethylene-propylene (EP) and ethylene-octene (EO) copolymers polymerized with the aid of homogeneous vanadium and metallocene catalysts were compared by DSC and time-resolved simultaneous SAXS-WAXS-DSC at scanning rates of 10 and 20°C min^?1 using synchrotron radiation. An EP copolymer with a density of 896 kg m^?3 (about 89 mol % ethylene) after compression moulding gave orthorhombic WAXS reflections. The crystallinity as a function of temperature [w ^c (T)] calculated from these reflections using the two-phase model was in good agreement withw ^c (T) calculated fromc _p measurements using DSC. Thec _p measurements also enabled calculation of the baselinec _p and the excessc _p. The SAXS measurements revealed a strong change in the long period in cooling and in heating. The SAXS invariant as a function of temperature showed a maximum in both cooling and heating, which could be explained from the opposing influences of the crystallinity and the electron density difference between the two phases. Two EO copolymers with densities of about 871 kg m^?3 (about 87 mol% ethylene) no longer showed any clear WAXS reflections, although DSC and SAXS measurements showed that these copolymers did crystallize. The similarity between the results led to the conclusion that the copolymers, though based on different catalyst systems — vanadium and metallocene — did not have strongly different sets of propagation probabilities of chain growth during polymerization. On the basis of a Monte Carlo simulation model of crystallization and morphology, based on detailed knowledge of the microchain structure, the difference between WAXS on the one hand and DSC and SAXS on the other could be explained as being due to loosely packed crystallized ethylene sequences in clusters. These do cause the density and the electron density of the cluster to increase (which is measurable by SAXS) and the enthalpy to decrease (which is measurable by DSC) but the clusters are too small and/or too imperfect to give constructive interference in the case of WAXS. Of an EP copolymer with an even lower ethylene content (about 69 mol %), the crystallization and melting processes could still be readily measured by DSC and SAXS, which proves that these techniques are eminently suitable for investigating the crystallization and melting behaviour of the copolymers studied.     

Multiple melting behavior of poly(butylene succinate). I. Thermal analysis of melt‐crystallized samples

The multiple melting behavior of poly(butylene succinate) (PBSu) was studied with differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Three different PBSu resins, with molecular weights of 1.1 × 10⁵, 1.8 × 10⁵, and 2.5 × 10⁵, were cooled from the melt (150 °C) at various cooling rates (CRs) ranging from 0.2 to 50 K min^?1. The peak crystallization temperature (T_c) of the DSC curve in the cooling process decreased almost linearly with the logarithm of the CR. DSC melting curves for the melt‐crystallized samples were obtained at 10 K min^?1. Double endothermic peaks, a high‐temperature peak H and a low‐temperature peak L, and an exothermic peak located between them appeared. Peak L decreased with increasing CR, whereas peak H increased. An endothermic shoulder peak appeared at the lower temperature of peak H. The CR dependence of the peak melting temperatures [T_m(L) and T_m(H)], recrystallization temperature (T_re), and heat of fusion (ΔH) was obtained. Their fitting curves were obtained as functions of log(CR). T_m(L), T_re, and ΔH decreased almost linearly with log(CR), whereas T_m(H) was almost constant. Peak H decreased with the molecular weight, whereas peak L increased. It was suggested that the rate of the recrystallization decreased with the molecular weight. T_m(L), T_m(H), T_re, and T_c for the lowest molecular weight sample were lower than those for the others. In contrast, ΔH for the highest molecular weight sample was lower than that for the others. If the molecular weight dependence of the melting temperature for PBSu is similar to that for polyethylene, the results for the molecular weight dependence of PBSu can be explained. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Non-isothermal crystallization behaviors of poly(4-methyl-pentene-1)

Non-isothermal crystallization of isotactic poly(4-methyl-pentene-1) (P4MP1) is studied by differential scanning calorimeter (DSC), and kinetic parameters such as the Avrami exponent and the kinetic crystallization rate (Z _c) are determined. From the cooling and melting curves of P4MP1 at different cooling rates, the crystalline enthalpy increases with the increasing cooling rate, but the degree of crystalline by DSC measurement shows not much variation. Degree of crystalline of P4MP1 calculated by wide angle X-ray diffraction pattern shows the same tendency with crystalline enthalpy, indicating that re-crystallization occurs when samples heated above the second glass transition temperature of P4MP1. By Jeziorny analysis, n ₁ value suggests that mainly spherulites’ growth at 2.5 K min⁻¹ transforms into a mixture mode of three-dimensional and two-dimensional space extensions with further increasing cooling rate. In the secondary crystallization process, n ₂ values indicate that the secondary crystallization is mainly the two-dimensional extension of the lamellar crystals formed during the primary crystallization process. The rates of the crystallization, Z _c and t _1/2 both increase obviously with the increase of cooling rate, especially at the primary crystallization stage. By Mo’s method, higher cooling rate should be required in order to obtain a higher degree of crystallinity at unit crystallization time.     

Opposite effects of interactions and disorder on the switching properties of the spin transition compound [FeII(L)2][ClO4]2 · C7H8

We report on a detailed analysis of the thermal transition hysteresis loop and the relaxation curves of the recently investigated compound [Fe^II(L)₂][ClO₄]₂ · C₇H₈ [V. Mishra et al., Inorg. Chem. (2008)]. We developed a variant of a previous kinetic cooperative model, modified for including short-range and long-range Gaussian distributions of energy parameters. The resulting set of coupled master equations was solved numerically for the dynamic and the quasi-static case. We have elucidated the various correlations between the distribution widths and the long-range interaction parameter, which basically have opposite effects. It is shown that presence of a steep hysteresis loop may hide a sizable short-range distribution, while the stretched character of the relaxation curves may also hide the presence of strong interactions. We also show that the coherent analysis of the set of relaxation curves at different temperatures does not allow to disentangle properly all the relevant parameters. We discuss these data with respect to the other photomagnetic experiments, T(LIESST) curve and light-induced thermal hysteresis (LITH) loop, and finally we try to address the question of the real nature of the cooperative relaxation process.     

Molecular mobility of counterion functional groups in ionic liquid 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate according to 1H and 13C NMR relaxation data

1-Ethyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate was studied by NMR relaxation. The temperature dependences of the spin-lattice relaxation rates (1/T ₁) for ¹H and ¹³C were obtained. The curves with maxima were observed for the majority of the temperature dependences 1/T ₁, which provided a reliable temperature dependence of the correlation times (τ_c). In the low-temperature range, the proton relaxation rates tend to an asymptotic value, which is related, most likely, to spin diffusion manifested in the studied samples. The values of correlation times τ_c calculated for ¹H and ¹³C of the same functional group almost coincide at high temperatures, which confirms that the used approach is adequate for the determination of characteristic times of rotational reorientation of counterions in the studied ionic liquid.     

Studying Cu2–xSe phase transformation through DSC examination

The thermal effect accompanying the transition of Cu_2–xSe into a superionic conduction state was studied by non-isothermal measurements, at different heating and cooling rates (β=1, 2.5, 5, 10 and 20°C min^–1). During heating the peak temperature (T_p) remains almost stable for all values of β, (136.8±0.4°C for Cu₂Se and 133.0±0.3°C for Cu_1.99Se). A gradual shift of the initiation of the transformation towards lower temperatures is observed, as the heating rate increases. During cooling there is a significant shift in the position of the peak maximum (T_p) towards lower temperatures with the increase of the cooling rate. A small hysteresis is observed, which increases with the increase of the cooling rate, β. The mean value of transformation enthalpy was found to be 30.3±0.8 J g^–1 for Cu₂Se and 28.9±0.9 J g^–1 for Cu_1.99Se. The transformation can be described kinetically by the model f(ǯ)=(1–ǯ)^n(1+kcatX), with activation energy E=175 kJ mol^–1, exponent value n equal to 0.2, logA=20 and log(k_cat)= 0.5.     

Analysis of relaxation on polypropyleneglycols above vitrification temperature

The dielectric spectra of polypropyleneglycols H-(C₃H₆O) _{N p} -OH (PPGs), where N _p = 1, 2, 3, 7, 12, 17, 20, 34, 69, were analyzed in terms of the Dissado Hill (DH) cluster model above the vitrification temperatures. In PPGs, the structural clusters are associates formed by intra- and intermolecular hydrogen bonds. The activation processes of cleavage and formation of intermolecular hydrogen bonds in clusters, when the total number of intermolecular hydrogen bonds changes, are characterized by the parameter n _DH. The fluctuation processes of simultaneous exchange of molecules between adjacent clusters correspond to redistributions of intermolecular hydrogen bonds between clusters, when only the position but not the total number of intermolecular hydrogen bonds changes, and are characterized by the parameter m _DH. The relaxation time τ_DH at 303 K and 423 K and the parameters n _DH and m _DH of the dielectric spectra were calculated. The activation energies of relaxation in the range 210–323 K were determined. The mean statistic squares of the dipole moments of clusters 〈μ_c²〉 and di-PG, PPG-425 (N _p = 7), and PPG-2025 (N _p = 34) molecules 〈μ_m²〉 at 303 K and 423 K were calculated. The number of the units of the oxypropylene chains involved in relaxation was determined. The dependence of the parameters of the DH model, relaxation energies, 〈μ_c²〉 and 〈μ_m²〉 on N _p were studied.     

A reinvestigation of the hypersonic properties and the specific heat capacity of PMMA around the quasi-static glass transition II. High performance caloric investigations

To continue dynamicc _p measurements in the range of smallest temperature rates and non-linear thermal relaxation investigations into the linear range, simultaneousc _p and thermal relaxation measurements were carried out in an adiabatic vacuum calorimeter, using the pulse heating method. The rate-dependentc _p behaviour, known from dynamic measurements, does not continue at small temperature rates. This is confirmed by the relaxation process which is observed. The results suggest an extended interpretation of the glass transition in atactic polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA).
