Multifractal analysis of the fracture surfaces of foamed polypropylene/polyethylene blends

The two-dimensional multifractal detrended fluctuation analysis is applied to reveal the multifractal properties of the fracture surfaces of foamed polypropylene/polyethylene (PP/PE) blends at different temperatures. Nice power-law scaling relationship between the detrended fluctuation function F_q and the scale s is observed for different orders q and the scaling exponent h(q) is found to be a nonlinear function of q, confirming the presence of multifractality in the fracture surfaces. The multifractal spectra f(α) are obtained numerically through Legendre transform. The shape of the multifractal spectrum of singularities can be well captured by the width of spectrum and the difference of dimension . With the increase of the PE content, the fracture surface becomes more irregular and complex, as is manifested by the facts that increases and decreases from positive to negative. A qualitative interpretation is provided based on the foaming process.

用超临界CO_2制备微孔聚苯乙烯/热致液晶聚合物原位复合材料

微孔聚合物是80年代初发明的一种新型多孔材料,其特征为:泡孔直径1～10 μm,泡孔密度109～1012cells/cm3,相对密度0.05～0.95.具有缺口冲击强度高、韧性高、比强度高、疲劳寿命长、热稳定性高、介电常数低和导热系数低等优异性能.同时,制备微孔聚合物使用无公害、易回收的CO2和N2替代对臭氧层有害的氯氟烃(氟利昂)和易燃的碳氢化合物等作为发泡剂,是一种新型绿色材料[1].在微孔聚合物中使用超临界流体是90年代初提出的新方法[2～4],可缩短加工时间,同时制得泡孔直径更小、泡孔密度更大的微孔材料.目前研究中,对聚合物多相体系的研究报道很少,只有HIPS[5]、PE/iPP[6]和PVC/木纤维复合材料[7]等少数体系的报道,而聚合物多相体系的研究是材料科学的主要研究领域.可以预见,加入少量第二组分的共混物为基体的微孔材料可以达到更为优异的性能.本工作选择聚苯乙烯与热致液晶聚合物的原位复合材料为研究对象,采用超临界CO2快速降压法[3]制备微孔材料.在前期工作中,报道了该材料是一种综合了液晶聚合物的高强度和聚苯乙烯微孔材料轻质、高抗冲、保温隔音性能的具有仿生结构的新型复合材料[8].本文在此基础上,进一步研究热致液晶聚合物的加入对微孔结构的影响以及界面相容剂在微孔成型中的作用.     

Influence of electrolytes on thermal expansion microcapsules

Thermal expansion microcapsules were prepared by using acrylonitrile and methyl methacrylate as polymerization monomer and isooctane as the blowing agent. The structure, composition, appearance, and thermal expansion properties of microcapsules were analyzed by SEM, FTIR, TG, DSC, and TEM. The cell structure and surface quality of PP foaming composites were characterized by SEM, optical microscopy, and gloss meter. Results show that sodium chloride in the aqueous solution can significantly improve the appearance of microcapsules. At 15.1 and 19.1?wt.% sodium chloride, the appearance of microcapsules was regular. At 19.1?wt.% sodium chloride, the thermal expansion microcapsules were coated with 25.0?wt.% of the blowing agent. The microcapsules exhibit an expansion temperature of 201?°C and can remain stable after expansion. Moreover, the microcapsule shell of the data (thickest part???thinnest part)/(core diameter) decreased to approximately 0.05. The glossiness of PP/(T-5) increased to 65.6. The surface of PP/microcapsule foaming composite is smoother than that of the PP/AC foaming composites, and the pores of thermal expansion microcapsules are difficult to deform during processing.     

Physicochemical properties of series of cardanol polyoxyethylene ether carboxylates with different ethoxylation unit at the interface

Series of cardanol polyoxyethylene ether carboxylates were synthesized with biomass cardanol as material to study their physicochemical properties at the interface. The surface tensions of the cardanol nonionic-anionic surfactants were measured at 25?°C and the thermodynamic parameters of adsorption were also calculated. The surface activity and thermodynamic properties of the cardanol nonionic-anionic surfactants were correlated to their chemical structures. With increasing of the number of the ethoxylation unit in the hydrophilic group, a decrease in adsorption efficiency and an increase in surface tension at critical micelle concentration and thermodynamic free energy of adsoption were observed and were attributed to a decrease in adsorption of the cardanol nonionic-anionic surfactants at the interface. Series of the cardanol nonionic-anionic surfactants have good wettability and foaming property. The foaming capacity and the foaming stability of the solution of the cardanol nonionic-anionic surfactants increase by decreasing in the ethoxylation unit and by increasing the double bond of the hydrophobic group. The physicochemical properties of the cardanol nonionic-anionic surfactants at the interface are correlated to the chemical structures of the investigated surfactants, and there is the synergy effect between the nonionic hydrophilic group and the anionic hydrophilic group at the interface.     

聚乙烯-g-聚苯乙烯对线性低密度聚乙烯/聚苯乙烯共混物机械性能和发泡行为的影响

以通过开环易位聚合、加氢反应和原子转移自由基聚合技术结合制备的聚乙烯-g-聚苯乙烯(PE-g-PS)作为增容剂,研究了加入不同PS支链长度的PE-g-PS对于线性低密度聚乙烯/聚苯乙烯(LLDPE/PS)共混物的机械性能和发泡行为的影响。 以典型组成m(LLDPE):m(PS)=70:30共混物为例,考察了PE-g-PS对共混物拉伸性能的影响。 相对于二元共混物,增容剂的加入使得断裂伸长率、拉伸强度和屈服强度皆提高,且含长PS支链的增容体系提高更明显。 采用超临界CO₂釜式发泡工艺,考察了PE-g-PS中PS支链长度对共混物发泡行为的影响。 结果表明,相对于短PS支链体系,加入PE-g-PS_1.59k(PS相对分子质量为1590)后的泡孔结构更加均一,完全没有“缝隙”形貌的出现。 当发泡温度降至80 ℃时,即使存在LLDPE发泡空间限制作用(LLDPE无法发泡),加入支链长度更长的PE-g-PS_1.59k后泡孔分布也更加均一。     

Elongational Viscosity and Foaming Behavior of PP Modified by Electron Irradiation or Nanotube Addition

Summary : In this study, two different routes were chosen which are expected to influence the elongational viscosity and, thus, the foaming behavior of polypropylene (PP). Electron irradiation of a linear PP was performed at room temperature using different doses. Enhanced long-chain branching was observed with increased irradiation dose. In addition, a linear PP was filled with 5 wt% multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNT) by melt mixing at 200 °C. These modified PP materials were investigated with respect to their shear and elongational behavior. After foaming, irradiated PP led to an expansion factor which is about 60% higher than that of the non-irradiated product. In case of PP filled with 5 wt% MWNT the value of the expansion factor is about 70% higher than that of pure PP expanded under the same conditions. The cell structure is much finer in both cases as compared to unmodified PP.     

N-(2-羟基丙基)全氟辛酰胺起泡剂的合成及表面活性

以全氟辛酸和异丙醇胺为主要原料,在不同条件下利用脂肪酸法合成了非离子型氟碳发泡剂N-(2-羟基丙基)全氟辛酰胺。 分别采用红外光谱法和核磁共振波谱法对产物结构进行了表征,并通过与十二烷基硫酸钠（SDS）的比较,综合评价了产物的起泡能力、泡沫稳定性、抗盐性及表面张力。 实验结果表明,合成产物的泡沫综合值能达到SDS的1.6倍以上;其抗盐性较强,无机盐离子的浓度对产物发泡性的影响并不十分明显;合成产物最低可使水的表面张力降至9.275 mN/m,并且在较低的使用浓度下产物降低表面张力的能力仍远强于SDS。 关联合成产物结构与性能的关系可知,产物中氢键的种类及数量、酰胺类物质的含量对其性能的影响较为明显。
