聚合物共混相态形成过程及其理论研究进展

聚合物共混过程中相态的形成及变化规律是近年来研究热点问题,这一动态过程将决定静态材料的结构与性能.聚合物共混形态结构发展的机理有初期破碎、中期分散及后期归并等机理.在共混初期,分散相尺寸较大,以细化为主.随着混合时间的增加,分散相逐渐细化,尺寸越来越小,细化也越来越难,在应力场的作用下,分散相粒子可能因碰撞而发生归并,归并与细化将逐渐达到平衡而形成稳定的结构.在混炼后期,剪切力减小,粒子发生有效碰撞归并概率增大.     

Why does poly(acrylic acid) addition improve the quality of holograms recorded in dichromated poly(vinyl alcohol)?

Holographic measurements have shown that the addition of 0.5% of poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) can improve the quality of holograms recorded in poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) doped with ammonium dichromate (ADC). The purpose of this paper is to explain this improvement. First, an analytical approach investigated the structural and architectural modification of the polymeric matrix and the fate of the various chromium species within PVA/PAA/ADC films. The addition of PAA in dichromated PVA led to a pre-reticulation of the polymeric matrix. This process increased with the amount of PAA.Second, an analytical approach focused on the evolution of PVA/PAA/ADC films upon irradiation at 365 nm, which is representative of hologram formation. The improvement brought by the presence of 0.5% of PAA in PVA/ADC was assigned to an additional source of crosslinking through the formation of covalent bonds. This process paralleled the crosslinking through coordination bonds involving Cr(V) and PVA units. At 0.5% of PAA, the mobility of the medium before exposure was sufficient to allow the migration of the species involved in the reticulation process during hologram formation, whereas higher concentrations of PAA inhibited this migration.     

Improvement of mechanical properties of poly(dl-lactide) films by blending of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyhexanoate)

Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyhexanoate) (PHBHHx) and poly(dl-lactide) (PDLLA) were blended at different ratios in an attempt to form a biomaterial with suitable properties for nerve regeneration. FT-IR and X-ray analysis showed that the blending of the PDLLA component did not alter the helical structure of PHBHHx, but did lead to a reduction of crystallinity. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) analysis indicated that the two polymers were immiscible in the melted state. The mechanical properties of certain composite films were more desirable than those of unblended PDLLA films. Blends consisting of PDLLA and PHBHHx at ratios of 2:1 and 1:2 exhibited a lower elastic modulus and a higher elongation at break compared to unblended PDLLA. ELISA results indicated that the amount of fibronectin adsorbed on composite films was much higher than the amount adsorbed on PDLLA film. The results of this study demonstrate the feasibility of using PDLLA/PHBHHx blended materials for biomedical applications.     

Thermal and photochemical stability of poly(vinyl alcohol)/modified lignin blends

A kraft lignin derivative (KLD) obtained by reaction with p-aminobenzoic acid/phthalic anhydride was blended with poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) by solution casting from DMSO. PVA and PVA/KLD films were exposed to ultraviolet radiation (24, 48, and 96 h) and analyzed by thermogravimetry (TG), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), hydrogen nuclear magnetic resonance (¹H NMR) spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). PVA films show a loss of thermal stability due to irradiation. PVA/KLD reveals greater thermal stability than PVA and an increase in thermal stability after irradiation. These results suggest that the incorporation of KLD into PVA provides a gain in thermal and photochemical stability. FTIR, ¹H NMR, DSC, and TG results obtained for the blends suggest that intermolecular interactions between PVA and KLD chains are present. SEM micrographs revealed blend miscibility for a KLD blend content of up to 15 wt%, as observed at magnification of 1000 times.     

Thermoplastic Elastomers Based on Ethylene-vinyl Acetate Copolymer and Waste Nitrile Butadiene Rubber Powder Blends Compatibilized by Chlorinated Polyethylene

Thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) based on ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA)/waste nitrile butadiene rubber powder (WNBRP) blends compatibilized by chlorinated polyethylene (CPE) were prepared by melt-compounding. The tensile strength and the elongation at break of the EVA/CPE/WNBRP blends were increased significantly compared with those of the EVA/WNBRP blends. The fracture surfaces of the EVA/CPE/WNBRP blends were smooth; moreover, the WNBRP in the etched EVA/CPE/WNBRP blends were inserted in the EVA matrix tightly. DMA results revealed that when the CPE dosage was 5 phr in the EVA/CPE/WNBRP blend, the Payne effect was weakened significantly.     

Improved dielectric and AC conductivity properties of P(VDF-TrFE)-Nafion blends for high-temperature flexible capacitor applications

The free-standing poly (vinylidene fluoride-trifluoroethylene) [P(VDF-TrFe)] and P(VDF-TrFe)-Nafion blended films were fabricated using the casting method. The XRD and FTIR confirmed the electro-active β-phase of P(VDF-TrFe). The morphological changes were studied through SEM analysis of the blends. The dielectric and ac conductivity measurements were carried out as a function of temperature from 30 °C to 130 °C in the frequency range of 100 Hz - 1 MHz. The dielectric constant reveled a ferroelectric to paraelectric transition in all the samples with a decrease in the transition temperature of the blends. The temperature-dependent ac conductivity and power law analysis demonstrated the presence of a correlated barrier hoping mechanism with a change in the motional behavior in the blends. The blended films exhibited low dielectric loss and more stable dielecric properties with temperature in comparison to P(VDF-TrFe). These films demonstrated the potential to be used in high-temperature flexible capacitor applications.     

轻度磺化聚苯乙烯与聚苯乙烯共混物的流变性能表征

采用DSR-200动态应力流变仪研究了磺化度为0.98%(摩尔分数)的轻度磺化聚苯乙烯(SPS)离聚物及其锌盐(ZnSPS)与聚苯乙烯(PS)的共混物(PS/SPS,PS/ZnSPS)的流变性能.由于离聚物中离子聚集的物理交联作用,使其流变性能与PS相比有明显差别.动态频率实验结果表明,所有样品均可采用时温等效处理.另外,在与分子链运动相关的低频区,由于离子聚集的作用使得离聚物的模量远大于PS的模量.离聚物在稳态剪切作用下,由于离子聚集的破坏而表现出明显的屈服现象,并能用Utracki的屈服应力公式表征其屈服应力和零切粘度.此外,离聚物的屈服现象还与温度相关.由于动态和稳态实验分别测试离子聚集存在和破坏的不同材料状态,因此对离聚物无法应用Cox-Merz规则.动态和稳态实验结果均表明,PS/SPS和PS/ZnSPS的性能与组成的变化规律不同,意味着二者之间存在不同的离子聚集结构或相互作用.

On the compatibility of the IPP/PA6/EPDM blends with and without functionalized IPP I. Thermo-oxidative behaviour

Binary isotactic polypropylene (IPP)/polyamide 6 (PA6) and ternary IPP/PA6/ethylene–propylene diene terpolymer (EPDM) blends in various ratios were obtained in a Haake Rheocord mixer. Processing behaviour was changed in the presence of IPP functionalized with bismaleimide (BMI), maleic anhydride (MA) and acrylic acid (AA) as reactive compatibilizing agents. The thermal and thermo-oxidative behaviour of blends was studied by differential scanning calorimetry and thermogravimetry. The functionalized IPPs modify the crystallinity degree and the decomposition behaviour of both IPP and PA6 as a result of chemical reactions of functional groups with those of the PA6. The changes depend on the IPP/PA6 or IPP/PA6/EPDM ratio, the chemical nature and amount of the functionalized IPP. On the basis of the processing and thermal data one can conclude that the compatibilizing agent effect increases in the following order: IPP-AA 相似文献
