Immobilization of organorhenium(VII) oxides

In the last decade considerable progress has been made in research on organorhenium(VII) oxide catalysts, particularly with respect to methyltrioxorhenium(VII) (MTO). Heterogeneous systems have been developed with particular emphasis on the supporting systems including inorganic and organic carrier materials. As a result efficient and reasonably selective catalysts are now available for a variety of catalytic reactions like olefin epoxidation in particular and other oxidation reactions, metathesis, etc. Besides the MTO/UHP system, polymer supports for the organometallic catalysts are now also successfully applicable. The systems exhibit in several cases the required properties of stability, selectivity, activity and recyclability.     

高抗冲共聚聚丙烯的结晶动力学及形态

用示差扫描量热仪(DSC)、偏光显微镜(PLM)和场发射扫描电镜(FESEM)对高抗冲共聚聚丙烯(HIPP)的非等温结晶行为、等温结晶动力学及结晶形态进行了系统研究, 并与均聚聚丙烯(iPP)进行了对比. 非等温热分析结果表明, HIPP的结晶和熔融温度均低于iPP. 等温结晶动力学分析结果表明, HIPP的半结晶时间、结晶活化能及分子链折叠端表面自由能均高于iPP. 研究结果表明, HIPP中的共聚组分与基体存在部分相容性, 并阻碍其结晶. PLM和FESEM研究结果表明, HIPP中存在大量均匀分散的橡胶粒子, 其直径约1~2 μm, 并具有核-壳结构. 增韧相在基体相中的良好分散与粘结, 以及有效核-壳增韧结构的形成是实现HIPP良好刚-韧平衡性能的关键. 这与HIPP的组成及聚合工艺密切相关.     

Microhardness of compatibilized blends of polypropylene with a semiflexible liquid-crystalline polymer

 The Vickers microhardness of blends of isotactic polypropylene and a semiflexible liquid-crystalline polymer (iPP/LCP 90/10 and 80/20 w/w), compatibilized with 2.5, 5 or 10 wt% PP-g-LCP copolymers with different composition has been studied. It has been shown that the microhardness values of uncompatibilized blends are close to the additive ones, while for compatibilized blends a strong positive deviation from additivity has been established. This result is interpreted by the increase in the degree of crystallinity of PP, by the decrease in the surface free energy of PP crystals and by the decrease in the surface free energy of the LC domains when the PP-g-LCP compatibilizer is present. The effect of the composition and concentration of the compatibilizer on the experimental hardness values has also been studied. The values of the microhardness/modulus of elasticity of some of the materials have been obtained. It is demonstrated that according to these values the compatibilized blends take a position closer to the elastic material in the elastic–plastic spectrum than the uncompatibilized blends. The results are interpreted by the compatibilizing efficiency of PP-g-LCP copolymers towards iPP/LCP blends. Received: 18 June 2001 Accepted: 4 October 2001     

关于超高分子量聚丙烯超拉伸膜的结构性能的研究——Ⅰ.拉伸取向过程的表征

用超高分子量聚丙烯的对二甲苯溶液中冷却析出的结晶沉积压制成的结晶垫,经热拉伸制备了不同拉伸倍数的薄膜.与用低分子量聚丙烯制备的结晶垫或熔融结晶物不同,超高分子量聚丙烯的结晶垫显示出极高的拉伸变形性能,因而制得了高达69倍的拉伸样品.WAXD照片表明在未拉伸的结晶垫中,微晶的c轴沿结晶垫法线方向择优取向,但仅经2-4倍的拉伸,微晶即发生破裂,且产生的较小的折叠链微晶已转向沿拉伸轴方向取向;晶区取向因子在拉伸过程中迅速增加并在较低拉伸倍数下即接近于理想取向.但非晶区取向因子在整个拉伸领域中增加缓慢.随拉伸倍数的增大,晶粒尺寸D_(110)及D_(040)逐渐减小;而长周期L逐渐增加.这表明在高倍拉伸样品中存在着折叠链被从片晶中拉出并部分形成伸直链结晶的转变.     

Crystallization,melting and structure of polypropylene/poly(vinylidene-fluoride) blends

Blends were prepared from isotactic polypropylene (iPP) along with its b-nucleated form and poly(vinylidene-fluoride) (PVDF). Melting, and crystallization characteristics as well as structure of the blends were studied by polarized light microscopy (PLM) and differential scanning calorimetry. According to PLM studies, the phase structure of these blends is heterogeneous in the molten state. The temperature range of crystallization of PVDF during cooling is higher than that of iPP. PVDF has a strong α-nucleating effect on iPP. The crystallization of iPP starts on the surface of dispersed PVDF droplets and an α-transcrystalline layer forms on the surface of the crystalline PVDF phase. The iPP matrix crystallizes predominantly in a-form in spite of the presence of a highly active b-nucleating agent. This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Crystallization of oriented smectic polypropylene I. Thermally induced crystallization

The crystallization induced by thermal treatments of smectic polypropylene fibres has been studied. Analysis was carried out detecting the density and X-ray diffractograms. Density and diffraction data disagree on two important aspects: the critical temperature necessary to activate the crystallization process, and the effects of annealing time on the growth process. The first point seems to suggest that the observed densification at the lower temperatures is related to phenomena differing from a crystallization process, while the observed effects of the annealing time can be explained by assuming that the anisotropy of the fibre structure induces anisotropy in the phase transition and growth process. On the other hand, density and diffraction data agree in indicating that the rate and degree of crystallization increase on increasing the crystallization temperature.

A DYNAMIC MECHANICAL ANALYSIS STUDY OF THE TRANSITION BEHAVIOUR OF I-PP/EPDM BLENDS

The transition behaviour of the blends of isotactic polypropylene (i-PP) with ethylene-propylene terpolymer (EPDM) containing 42 wt% propylene was investigated by dynamic mechanical analysis technique (DMA). Owing to its high propylene content, EPDM is compatible with i-PP to some degree. The interaction between the two components was strengthened. As expected, for partially compatible system the glass transition temperature of i-PP in the blends shifted to lower temperature. It was found that there existed two transitions, αEPDM and βEPDM, for the EPDM used in this work. The former was considered to be the glass transition of the random chain segments of EPDM, while the latter the local motion of the long ethylene sequences in EPDM. The unusual transition behaviour of αEPDM in the blends was explained in terms of the greater thermal expansion of EPDM and the compatibility of the two components. On the other hand, the βEPDM changed with the composition of the blends in a regular manner.     

Optimization of scratch resistance and mechanical properties in wollastonite‐reinforced polypropylene copolymers

The aim of this research was to establish a balance between scratch resistance and scratch damage visibility in the wollastonite‐filled heterophasic polypropylene copolymers.The influences of various factors including the surface hardness, elasticity, friction coefficient, and combinations thereof on the scratch behavior (scratch resistance and scratch visibility) were elucidated. Using micro‐scale and nano‐scale scratch tests and image analysis techniques, the scratch hardness, scratch depth, and scratch visibility of the composites were characterized.It was found that the introduction of wollastonite in the polypropylene copolymer matrix contributes to ductile fracture behavior because of an induced crystallization alteration. Accordingly, the scratch resistance of reinforced composites revealed an increase as a result of higher stiffness of the wollastonite as well as contribution of new crystalline structure. The addition of siloxane to the composites improved the resistance to surface damage by lowering the surface friction coefficient originated from enhanced chain mobility. Simultaneous addition of high density polyethylene and siloxane induced a significant influence on the resistance to the scratch damage. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
