CRYSTALLIZATION OF BLENDS OF AN ASYMMETRIC POLY（OXYETHYLENE）-b-POLY（OXYBUTYLENE） BLOCK COPOLYMER WITH POLY（OXYBUTYLENE）

An oxyethylene/oxybutylene block copolymer with asymmetric volume fraction (E115B103) was blended with oxybutylene homopolymer (Bh) at different volume fractions of the block (φE). Crystallization behavior of the blends was studied and was compared with that of the blends from a symmetric block copolymer (E114B56). It was found that the crystallization temperature of E115B103/B28 blend is lower than that of the blends from symmetric block copolymer. For the blend with φE= 0.30 breakout crystallization with an Avrami exponent n ≈ 3.0 is observed. At φE = 0.22 the blend exhibits a variable crystallization behavior: confined crystallization with n ≈ 1.0 at lower crystallization temperatures but breakout crystallization at high crystallization temperatures. For the blend with φE = 0.14 and sphere morphology confined crystallization occurs at all crystallization temperatures studied. When compared with the blends from symmetric block copolymer, confined crystallization occurs more easily in the E115B103/B28 blends. The SAXS results agree with the isothermal crystallization kinetics. Deformation of the confined crystalline block is observed in the blend with φE = 0.14 and mixed lamellar and cylinder morphologies in the blend with φE = 0.22.     

SPATIAL HIERARCHY AND INTERFACIAL STRUCTURE IN INJECTIONMOLDED BARS OF POLYPROPYLENE-BASED BLENDS AND COMPOSITES

The hierarchical structure and interfacial morphology of injection-molded bars of polypropylene （PP） based blends and composites have been investigated in detail from the skin to the core. For preparation of injection-molded bars with high-level orientation and good interfacial adhesion, a dynamic packing injection molding technology was applied to exert oscillatory shear on the melts during solidification stage. Depending on incorporated component, interfacial adhesion and processing conditions, various oriented structure and morphology could be obtained. First, we will elucidate the epitaxial behavior between PP and high-density polyethylene occurring in practical molded processing. Then, the shear-induced transcrystalline structure will be the main focus for PP/fiber composites. At last, various oriented clay structures have been ascertained unambiguously in PP/organoclay nanocomposites along the thickness of molded bars.     

SURFACE STRUCTURE AND BULK PROPERTIES OF FLUORINATED POLY(ETHER URETHANE)S AND POLY(ETHER URETHANE) BLENDS

INTRODUCTIONPolyurethanes (PU) have been widely used for manufacturing medical devices because of their excellentmechanical properties and moderate biocompatibility[1]. Although polyurethanes used in applications requiringall of the above properties have been successful for short-term use, the problems of long-term thromboresistanceand biostability in a biological environment still remain unsolved[2,3]. A legitimate approach to improving theproperties of polyurethanes is introduction of f…     

Morphology and mechanical properties of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene-poly(tetrafluoroethylene) blend films

This paper deals with the morphology and mechanical properties of blend films for polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) and ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) prepared by kneading techniques. This experiment was carried out for blend films, prepared with different compositions of PTFE and UHMWPE to improve thermal properties of PE. In spite of the incompatibility of the two polymers, the blend film with the PTFE/UHMWPE composition =75/25 was maintained under the measurement of complex modulus at temperature higher than 300°C. This indicates that the UHMWPE chains dispersed in PTFE fibrous texture were not separated by the melting flow of UHMWPE at 300°C. To check the origin of this interesting phenomenon, the morphology of the blend films was investigated by using scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and¹³C nuclear magnetic resonance.

Elastic recovery of immiscible blends Part 2: Transient flow histories

Immiscible polymer blends are known to display an unusual elastic recovery after stress release. Recoil after steady-state shearing is well understood and obeys specific scaling relations. Releasing the stress before the steady-state morphology has been reached results in a more complex elastic recovery, including very large final values. This behaviour is investigated systematically. Model blends are used, consisting of nearly inelastic components; hence the measured recoil can be attributed totally to contributions from the interface. The instantaneous structure at the onset of the recoil can vary greatly in transient experiments, ranging from slightly deformed droplets to highly elongated filaments. The effects of this initial structure on the ultimate recoil and time scale of the recovery are studied. The morphological changes during recovery are considered as well. It is demonstrated that they can be computed from the normal stresses during stress relaxation with comparable initial morphologies. This indicates that the same morphological changes occur during stress relaxation and constrained recoil. A scaling relation for the recoil curves has been derived from the Doi-Ohta theory, which is confirmed by the experiments. Received: 9 December 1998 Accepted: 5 April 1999
