The melting behavior of isotactic polystyrene, crystallized from the melt and from dilute solutions in trans-decalin, has been studied by differential scanning calorimetry and solubility measurements. The melting curves show 1, 2, or 3 melting endotherms. At large supercooling, crystallization from the melt produces a small melting endotherm just above the crystallization temperature Tc. This peak originates from secondary crystallization of melt trapped within the spherulites. The next melting endotherm is related to the normal primary crystallization process. Its peak temperature increases linearly with Tc, yielding an extrapolated value for the equilibrium melting temperature Tc° of 242 ± 1°C as found before. By self-seeding, crystallization from the melt could be performed at much higher temperature to obtain melting temperatures as high as 243°C, giving rise to doubt about the value of Tc° found by extrapolation. For normal values of Tc and heating rate, an extra endotherm appears on the melting curve. Its peak temperature is the same for both melt-crystallized and solution-crystallized samples, and independent of Tc, but rises with decreasing heating rate. From the effects of heating rate and partial scanning on the ratio of peak areas and of previous heat treatment on dissolution temperature, it is concluded that this peak arises from the second one by continuous melting and recrystallization during the scan. 相似文献

Wood flour/polypropylene composites (WPC) were prepared by melt extruding with different wood flour (WF) loadings. The non-isothermal
crystallization and melting was studied with different WF loadings, for W40P60 and W40P60M6, the melting was investigated
after non-isothermal and isothermal crystalline. Comparing with neat polypropylene, the melting behavior of the composites,
both non-isothermally and isothermally, was investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The results showed that
WF was an effective heterogeneous nucleating agent, as evidenced by an increase in the crystallization temperature and the
crystallinity for melt crystallization of PP with increasing WF content. For the non-isothermal samples, the origins of the
double melting behaviors were discussed, based on the DSC results of PP. The XRD measurements confirmed that no crystalline
transition existed during the non-isothermal crystallization process. With m-TMI-g-PP adding, due to compatibilization phenomenon were probably responsible for decreasing T

The polymorphous crystallization and multiple melting behavior of poly(l-lactic acid) (PLLA) with an optical purity of 92 % were investigated after isothermally crystallized from the melt state by wide-angle X-ray diffraction and differential scanning calorimetry. Owing to the low optical purity, it was found that the disordered (α′) and ordered (α) crystalline phases of PLLA were formed in the samples crystallized at lower (<95 °C) and higher (≥95 °C) temperatures, respectively. The melting behavior of PLLA is different in three regions of crystallization temperature (T c) divided into Region I (T c < 95 °C), Region II (95 °C ≤ T c < 120 °C), and Region III (T c ≥ 120 °C). In Region I, an exothermic peak was observed between the low-temperature and high-temperature endothermic peaks, which results from the solid–solid phase transition of α′-form crystal to α one. In Region II, the double-melting peaks can be mainly ascribed to the melting–recrystallization–remelting of less stable α crystals. In Region III, the single endotherm shows that the α crystals formed at higher temperatures are stable enough and melt directly without the recrystallization process during heating. 相似文献

The melting behavior of restrained isotactic polypropylene fibers is examined quantitatively in terms of the influence the anisotropic structural state of the polymer has on the observed properties. Two endotherm peaks are observed to occur in some of the samples. The formation and location of the multiple peaks are determined by the orientation of the noncrystalline chains, and is independent of the fabrication path used to achieve that orientation. Above a certain minimum orientation of the noncrystalline chains, multiple endotherm peak formation occurs. The high-temperature endotherm (T2M) extrapolates to an ultimate melting point for fully oriented noncrystalline chains of 220°C, while the lower-temperature endotherm (T1M) extrapolates to an ultimate melting point of 185°C. Noncrystalline chain orientation influences the endotherm temperature through its changing configurational entropy. It is shown quantitatively that the noncrystalline polymer must be considered as plastically deformed, since rubber elasticity theory is not followed as predicted. The melting behavior of isothermally crystallized samples are also reported to further elucidate the nature of the observed endotherms. 相似文献

A semicrystalline ethylene‐hexene copolymer (PEH) was subjected to a simple thermal treatment procedure as follows: the sample was isothermally crystallized at a certain isothermal crystallization temperature from melt, and then was quenched in liquid nitrogen. Quintuple melting peaks could be observed in heating scan of the sample by using differential scanning calorimeter (DSC). Particularly, an intriguing endothermic peak (termed as Peak 0) was found to locate at about 45 °C. The multiple melting behaviors for this semicrystalline ethylene‐hexene copolymer were investigated in details by using DSC. Wide‐angle X‐ray diffraction (WAXD) technique was applied to examine the crystal forms to provide complementary information for interpreting the multiple melting behaviors. Convincing results indicated that Peak 0 was due to the melting of crystals formed at room temperature from the much highly branched ethylene sequences. Direct heating scans from isothermal crystallization temperature (Tc, 104–118 °C) were examined for comparison, which indicated that the multiple melting behaviors depended on isothermal crystallization temperature and time. A triple melting behavior could be observed after a relatively short isothermal crystallization time at a low Tc (104–112 °C), which could be attributed to a combination of melting of two coexistent lamellar stack populations with different lamellar thicknesses and the melting‐recrystallization‐remelting (mrr) event. A dual melting behavior could be observed for isothermal crystallization with both a long enough time at a low Tc and a short or long time at an intermediate Tc (114 °C), which was ascribed to two different crystal populations. At a high Tc (116–118 °C), crystallizable ethylene sequences were so few that only one single broad melting peak could be observed. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Crystal orientation and melting behavior of poly(ε-caprolactone) in a diblock copolymer of poly(ε-caprolactone)-block-poly(2,5-bis[4-methoxyphenyl]oxycarbonyl)styrene) (PCL-b-PMPCS) was investigated. The degrees of polymerization of the PCL and PMPCS block are 200 and 98, respectively. With the PMPCS in a columnar liquid crystalline phase, the diblock is rod-coil one, which exhibits a lamellar phase morphology with the PCL layer thickness of 15.2 nm. Since the glass transition temperature of PMPCS block is much higher than the melting temperature of PCL, the crystallization of PCL is in a one-dimensionally "hard" confinement environment. Mainly on the basis of two-dimensional wide-angle X-ray diffraction experiments, we identified the orientation of PCL isothermally crystallized at various crystallization temperatures (Tcs). At high Tcs (Tc≥10℃), the c-axis of the PCL crystal is along the layer normal of the microphase-separated sturcture. Decreasing Tc can result in the tilting of PCL c-axis with respect to the layer normal. The lower the Tc is, the more the c-axis inclines. Meanwhile, the b-axis of PCL remains perpendicular to the layer normal. At a very low Tc of -78℃, the orientation of the PCL crystals is completely random. For the samples isothermally crystallized at Tc≤10℃, double melting behavior can be observed. While the low temperature endotherm reflects the melting of the crystals originally formed at the Tc applied, the high temperature one is associated with the crystals subjected to the process of recrystallization/reorganization upon heating due to the annealing effect. 相似文献

The influence of the thermal history on the morphology and mechanical behavior of PET was studied. The degree of crystallinity (density measurements) and the morphological structure (electron microscopy and small-angle x-ray diffraction) depend on the crystallization temperature. The viscoelastic parameters obtained from the modulus–temperature curves are mainly determined by the morphology of the samples. The glass-transition temperature, Ti, is a function of the crystallinity and the crystallization temperature. It is maximum for a crystallinity between 0.34 and 0.39 for a sample crystallized isothermally between 120 and 150°C. This dependence on crystallization conditions is ascribed to the conformation of the amorphous chain segments between the crystalline lamellae as well as the concentration and the molecular weight of the polymer material rejected during isothermal crystallization. Both factors are supposed to be temperature-dependent. The value of the rubbery modulus is a function of both the volume concentration of the crystalline lamellae and the structure of the interlamellar amorphous regions (chain folds, tie molecules, chain ends, and segregated low molecular weight material). Annealing above the crystallization temperature of isothermally crystallized samples has a marked influence on their morphology and mechanical behavior. The morphological structure and the viscoelastic properties of annealed PET samples are completely different from those obtained with samples isothermally crystallized at the same temperature. 相似文献

The melting behavior of poly(butylene succinate‐co‐adipate) (PBSA) isothermally crystallized from the melt was investigated by differential scanning calorimetry. Triple, double, or single melting endotherms were observed in subsequent heating scan for the samples isothermally crystallized at different temperatures. These endothermic peaks were labeled as I, II, and III for low‐, middle‐, and high‐temperature melting endotherms, respectively. The independence of endotherm III to the crystallization temperature, the existence of an exothermic crystallization peak just below the endotherm III, and the heating rate dependence of endotherm III indicated that endotherm III was due to the remelting of recrystallized lamellar during a heating scan. The influence of crystallization time on the melting behavior of PBSA showed that endotherms II and III developed prior to endotherm I; endotherm III developed rather simultaneously with endotherm II. Further investigation showed that the peak temperature of endotherm I increased linearly with the logarithm of the crystallization time. It suggested that endotherm II was attributed to the melting of the primary lamellae, while endotherm I was due to the melting of secondary lamellae. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

This article deals with the structure, crystallization, morphology, and thermal behavior of poly(p‐phenylene sulfide) (PPS) with low‐molecular mass, probed by DSC, optical, and electron microscopy. The growth rates of spherulites were measured over the temperature range 235–275°C. A regime II–III transition was found at T = 250°C. The regime transition was accompanied by a morphological change from sheaflike structure to classical spherulites. The Avrami equation poorly described the isothermal crystallization of PPS, for the occurrence of mixed growth mechanisms and secondary crystallization, in agreement with the morphology and the thermal behavior. Two melting peaks were detected on DSC curves and attributed to the melting of crystals formed isothermally at Tc by primary and secondary crystallization. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

The melting behavior of isothermally crystallized poly(butylene succinate) (PBS) has been investigated using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and wide‐angle X‐ray analysis. The samples crystallized between 80°C to 100°C show middle endotherm at the position just before the high exotherm, while the others under 80°C show two endotherms (low and high). From the results of the melting peak vs. crystallization temperature plot, it was suggested that the middle endotherm corresponds to the melting process of the original crystallites and the high endotherms to the melting process of the recrystallized ones. As the DSC heating rate was increased, the peak temperature of the low and middle endotherms increased and that of the high endotherm decreased, indicating that the low endotherm was due to the original crystallites as well as the middle endotherm. Consequently, in the heating scan of PBS, the existence of two kinds of morphologically different crystallites as well as the process of melting and recrystallization becomes evident. © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

The influence of the cure process and the resulting reaction‐induced phase separation (RIPS) on the crystallization and melting behavior of polyoxymethylene (POM) in epoxy resin diglycidylether of bisphenol A (DGEBA) blends has been studied at different cure temperatures (180 and 145 °C). The crystallization and melting behavior of POM was studied with DSC and the simultaneous blend morphology changes were studied using OM. At first, the influence of the epoxy monomer on the dynamically crystallized POM was investigated. Secondly, a cure temperature above the melting point of POM (Tcure = 180 °C) was applied for blends with curing agent to study the influence of resulting phase morphology types on the crystallization behavior of POM in the epoxy blends. Large differences between particle/matrix and phase‐inverted structures have been observed. Thirdly, the cure temperature was lowered below the melting temperature of POM, inducing isothermal crystallization prior to RIPS. As a consequence, a distinction was made between dynamically and isothermally crystallized POM. Concerning the dynamically crystallized material, a clear difference could be made between the material crystallized in the homogeneous sample and that crystallized in the phase‐separated structures. The isothermally crystallized POM was to a large extent influenced by the conversion degree of the epoxy resin. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Polym Sci Part B: Polym Phys 45: 2456–2469, 2007 相似文献

The multiple melting behavior of poly(butylene succinate) (PBSu) was studied with differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Three different PBSu resins, with molecular weights (MWs) of 1.1 × 105, 1.8 × 105, and 2.5 × 105, were isothermally crystallized at various crystallization temperatures (Tc) ranging from 70 to 97.5 °C. The Tc dependence of crystallization half‐time (τ) was obtained. DSC melting curves for the isothermally crystallized samples were obtained at a heating rate of 10 K min−1. Three endothermic peaks, an annealing peak, a low‐temperature peak L, and a high‐temperature peak H, and an exothermic peak located between peaks L and H clearly appeared in the DSC curve. In addition, an endothermic small peak S appeared at a lower temperature of peak H. Peak L increased with increasing Tc, whereas peak H decreased. The Tc dependence of the peak melting temperatures [Tm(L) and Tm(H)], recrystallization temperature (Tre), and heat of fusion (ΔH) was obtained. Their fitting curves were obtained as functions of Tc. Tm(L), Tre, and ΔH increased almost linearly with Tc, whereas Tm(H) was almost constant. The maximum rate of recrystallization occurred immediately after the melting. The mechanism of the multiple melting behavior is explained by the melt‐recrystallization model. The high MW samples showed similar Tc dependence of τ, and τ for the lowest MW sample was longer than that for the others. Peak L increased with MW, whereas peak H decreased. In spite of the difference of MW, Tm(L), Tm(H), and Tre almost coincided with each other at the same Tc. The ΔH values, that is crystallinity, for the highest MW sample were smaller than those for the other samples at the same Tc. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The influence of low contents of a liquid crystalline polymer on the crystallization and melting behavior of isotactic polypropylene (iPP) was investigated using electron and optical microscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, and X-ray diffraction. In pure iPP, the α modification was found, whereas for iPP/Vectra blends at Vectra concentration <5%, both α and β forms were observed. The amount of β phase varied from 0.23 to 0.16. Optical microscopy showed that Vectra was able to nucleate both α and β forms. Non-isothermal crystallization produces a material with a strong tendency for recrystallization of the α and β forms (αα′ and ββ′ recrystallization) leading to double endotherms for both crystalline forms in DSC thermograms. Melting thermograms after isothermal crystallization at low temperatures showed a similar behavior. At values of Tc > 119 °C for the α form and Tc > 125 °C for the β form, only one melting endotherm was observed because enough perfect crystals, not susceptible to recrystallization, were obtained. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Segmented poly(ether‐block‐amide) copolymers are typically known as polyamide‐based thermoplastic elastomers consisting of hard, crystallizable polyamide block and flexible, amorphous polyether block. The melting characteristics of a poly(ether‐block‐amide) copolymer melt‐crystallized under various quiescent, isothermal conditions were calorimetrically investigated using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). For such crystallized copolymer samples, their crystalline structures under ambient condition and the structural evolutions upon heating from ambient to complete melting were characterized using ambient and variable‐temperature wide‐angle X‐ray diffractometry (WAXD), respectively. It was observed that dependent of specific crystallization conditions, the copolymer samples exhibited one, two, or three melting endotherms. The ambient WAXD results indicated that all melt‐crystallized copolymer samples only exhibited γ‐form crystals associated with the hexagonal habits of the polyamide homopolymer, whereas variable‐temperature WAXD data suggested that upon heating from ambient, a melt‐crystallized copolymer might exhibit so‐called Brill transition before complete melting. Based on various DSC and variable‐temperature WAXD experimental results obtained in this study, the applicability of different melting mechanisms that might be responsible for multiple melting characteristics of various crystallized PEBA copolymer samples were discussed. It was postulated that the low (T m1) endotherm was primarily because of the disruption of less thermally stable, short‐range ordered structure of amorphous polyamide segments of the copolymer, which was only formed after the completion of primary crystallization via so‐called annealing effects. The intermediate (Tm2) and high (Tm3) endotherms were attributed to the melting of primary crystals within polyamide crystalline microdomains of the copolymer. The appearance of these two melting endotherms might be somehow complicated by thermally induced Brill transition. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Low molecular weight poly(ethylene terephthalate) samples were crystallized isothermally at 120–245°C from both the amorphous state and the melt. Isothermal annealing of these polymers at 215°C provided polymers which exhibited multiple melting peaks in thermal analysis, referred to as form I and form II, as assigned by Bell and Dumbleton. In these samples the peak temperature of the form II melting endotherm and the average crystallite size are dependent on the temperature of initial crystallization. This result requires a mechanism for retaining some structural feature during the conversion from morphological form I to form II. DSC thermograms obtained at varying heating rates on samples showing only form II endotherms support the assignment of superheating as the cause of the shift to higher peak temperatures with increasing heating rate. 相似文献

This work describes the melting and polymorphic behavior of poly(decamethylene terephthalamide) (PA 10T). Both solution‐crystallized (SC) and melt‐crystallized (MC) PA 10T show double melting endotherms in DSC. The SC crystal form melts at 260–300°C giving the first melting endotherm, and meanwhile undergoes a polymorphic transition forming the MC crystal form. The subsequent melting of the MC crystal form gives the second melting endotherm at 300–325°C. This irreversible polymorphic transition is confirmed by variable‐temperature WAXD and IR. Dynamic mechanical thermal analysis (DMTA) shows a glass transition temperature (Tg) at 127°C and the presence of an α′ transition at 203°C (0.1 and 1 Hz). This transition could be confirmed by DSC and variable‐temperature WAXD experiments. The α′ transition correlates with a reversible thermal process and a sudden change in intersheet spacing. © 2019 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Polym. Sci., Part B: Polym. Phys. 2019 , 57, 465–472 相似文献

The double melting behavior of a thermotropic liquid crystalline polyimide was studied by means of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), polarized light microscopy (PLM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), wide‐angle X‐ray diffraction (WAXD), and small‐angle X‐ray scattering (SAXS). This liquid crystalline polyimide exhibited a normal melting peak around 278 °C and transformed into a smectic A phase. The smectic A phase changed to nematic phase upon heating to 298 °C, then became isotropic melt around 345 °C. The samples annealed or isothermally crystallized at lower temperature showed double melting endotherms during heating scan. The annealing‐induced melting endotherm was highly dependent on annealing conditions, whereas the normal melting endotherm was almost not influenced by annealing when the annealing temperature was low. Various possibilities for the lower melting endotherm are discussed. The equilibrium melting points of both melting peaks were extrapolated to be 283.2 °C. Combined analytical results showed that the double melting peaks were from the melting of the two types of crystallites generated from two crystallization processes: a slow and a fast one. Fast crystallization may start from the well‐aligned liquid crystal domains, whereas the slow one may be from the fringed or amorphous regions. © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

The triple melting behavior and lamellar morphologies of isotactic polystyrene isothermally crystallized from the glassy state have been investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), temperature-modulated DSC and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The combination of thermal analysis measurements and morphological observations indicates that: (1) The lowest endothermic peak, the so-called “annealing peak” (Ta), is not associated with the melting of the subsidiary crystals formed by secondary crystallization as often suggested in the literature, but probably with a constrained interphase between the amorphous and crystalline regions; (2) Within spherulites two lamellar populations with different degrees of perfection (or thermal stability) are confirmed by direct TEM observations following partial melting experiments, which are responsible for the so-called double melting peaks (Tm,1 and Tm,2) at higher temperatures observed in DSC curves; (3) The highest endothermic peak (Tm,2) is partially originated from the melting of the recrystallized lamellae formed during heating process in DSC. 相似文献

Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) has been widely applied to study crystallization and melting of materials. However, for polymeric lamellar crystals, the melting thermogram during heating process usually exhibits a broad endothermic peak or even multiple endotherms, which may result from changes of metastability via recrystallization process. Sometimes, the recrystallization exotherm cannot be observed due to its overlapping with the melting endotherm. In this work, we employed a step heating procedure consisting of successive heating and temperature holding stages to measure the metastability of isothermally crystallized poly(butylene succinate) (PBS) crystals. With this approach we could gain the fraction of crystals melted at different temperature ranges and quantitatively detect the melting-recrystallization behavior. The melting-recrystallization behavior depends on the polymer chain structure and the crystallization temperature. For instance, PBS block copolymer hardly shows recrystallization behavior while PBS oligomer and high molecular weight PBS homopolymer demonstrate remarkable melting-recrystallization phenomenon. High molecular weight PBS isothermally crystallized in the low temperature range shows multiple melting-recrystallization while those isothermally crystallized at elevated temperatures do not exhibit observable recrystallization behavior. Furthermore, the melting endotherms were fitted via the melting kinetics equations. The original isothermally crystallized lamellae demonstrate quite different melting kinetics from the recrystallized lamellar crystals that melt at the highest temperature range, which is attributed to the different degrees of stabilization. Finally, the mechanism of melting-recrystallization is briefly discussed. We propose that apparent melt-recrystallization phenomenon be observed when melting of preformed lamellar crystals and recrystallization of thicker lamellae have similar free energy barrier. 相似文献

The phase separation of a crystalline and miscible polymer blend, poly(ε-caprolactone) /poly(styrene-co-acrylonitrile) (PCL/SAN), has been studied by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), using a SAN containing 28.3% of acrylonitrile units. Several phenomena can be associated with the occurrence of phase separation depending upon the composition of the mixture. Following annealing at high temperatures, below and above the phase separation temperature Tc, three cases can be distinguished. In Case I, there is no sign of crystallization during quenching and DSC scanning, but a melting peak is observed at Tc, and above. In Case II, there is no crystallization on quenching but it does occur during the DSC run; the shift of the crystallization peak can then be related to Tc. In Case III, there is crystallization on quenching, and additional crystallization during the DSC run; the change of area of the crystallization peak is indicative of Tc. From these observations, the phase diagram of the system was determined. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 相似文献
