Effect of hybrid fillers on the mechanical behavior of polypropylene based hybrid composites

The present study investigates the effect of hybrid fillers such as graphene nanoplatelets (GnPs) and Titanium di-oxide (TiO₂) in polypropylene (PP) composites on the mechanical properties. The compatibilizing agent of Maleic anhydride grafted polypropylene (MAPP) are used in the polypropylene based composites to increase the interfacial adhesion between matrix and fillers. The experiments are designed according to L₁₆ orthogonal array (OA) based design of experiments (DOE). The parameters selected for this study are GnPs, TiO₂ and MAPP with four different levels are used.By using Orthogonal array and Taguchi based experimental design, the performance characteristics of tensile modulus, tensile strength, elongation at break and toughness can be analyzed with more objective through a small set of experiments.Taguchi based analysis are used to find out the optimal parameters to maximize the tensile properties for the GnPs and TiO₂ reinforced PP hybrid composites. Further, analysis of variance (ANOVA) is investigated to identify the most significant parameters which influence the mechanical properties.From the analysis it was found that the optimal parameters of 3 ?wt% GnPs, 2 ?wt% TiO₂ and 6 ?wt% MAPP for maximum tensile modulus and tensile strength. The most significant parameter for tensile modulus and tensile strength is GnPs followed by TiO₂ and MAPP according to ANOVA analysis.     

负载型催化剂制备的聚丙烯等规度分布

负载型Ziesler－Natta催化剂中存在许多活性中心［'3，为了解其本质，需对其各自产生的聚合物进行分离，以往采用的溶剂抽提法［'－'j只能将聚合物大致分级．最近，升温淋洗分级法（TREF）已被运用于聚丙烯的分级卜，'，其原理是根据聚合物的结晶度分级D'，影响聚丙烯结晶性的主要因素是等规度，而分子量到达一定程度后其影响较小，故通过TREF分级可得到聚丙烯的等规度分布．TREF法的淋洗温度可控，故分级效果较好．该法在分级前需对样品进行等温结晶处理，以消除抽提法由于样品未必充分结晶而带来的误差．本文用TREF法对不同催化…     

离聚物Surlyn对PBT/PP共混体系的力学性能及形态结构的影响

用力学性能测试、ＤＭＡ、ＳＥＭ等方法研究了离聚物Ｓｕｒｌｙｎ对ＰＢＴ／ＰＰ共混体系的力学性能及形态结构的影响。结果表明，在ＰＢＴ／ＰＰ共混体系中引入少量Ｓｕｒｌｙｎ可以改善界面的粘接性，从而改善其力学性能。当共混体系中ＰＢＴ／ＰＰ的组份比不变（９０／１０）且Ｓｕｒｌｙｎ的含量为６ｐｈｒ左右时，共混物的冲击强度出现极大值；而弯曲强度在Ｓｕｒｌｙｎ含量为１－２ｐｈｒ左右时有最大值。当共混体系中Ｓｕｒｌｙｎ的含量不变（６ｐｈｒ）时，其力学性能随ＰＰ含量的增加而下降。用玻璃纤维增强共混体系，可显著提高力学性能。     

Effect of nucleating agent on the structure and properties of polypropylene/poly(ethylene-octene) blends

The effect of the sorbital nucleating agent on properties of the ethylene-octene copolymer (POE) toughened polypropylene (PP) was studied. The results show that the addition of POE increases notched Izod and Charpy impact strength significantly but impair the tensile strength and flexural modulus. As a nucleating agent (1,3,2,4-di(p-methylbenzylidene) sorbitol, DM) was added, the toughness and stiffness of toughed PP increased simultaneously at the same content of POE. This result shows that the toughness and stiffness of toughed PP are in balance. Polarized light microscopy analysis shows that with the addition of POE and nucleating agent, only a low level of PP spherulites were observed.

Tensile behaviour of isotactic polypropylene modified by specific nucleation and active fillers

Commercial-grade polypropylene was modified with a specific nucleation agent based on an amide of dicarboxylic acid, which promotes crystallization predominantly in the β-phase. The resulting material was used as a matrix for composites containing 10%, 20%, and 30% (by weight) of different calcium carbonate fillers. These fillers differed in particle size and surface treatment. The β-phase content, morphology and tensile mechanical properties were investigated. A distinct β-nucleation activity was found with surface-treated fillers; nevertheless, to obtain stiff and reasonably ductile composite materials, a matrix containing a critical nucleant concentration (0.03 wt%) was necessary.     

Surface modification of polypropylene microfiltration membranes by graft polymerization of N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone

A hydrophilic polymer, poly(N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone), was tethered on the surface of polypropylene microfiltration membrane (PPMM) by UV photo-assisted and γ-ray pre-irradiation induced graft polymerizations. Results revealed that the γ-ray pre-irradiation graft polymerization was more efficient in view of the grafting degree. The chemical changes of the membrane surface were confirmed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Pure water contact angle on poly(N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone)-grafted PPMM decreased with the increase of grafting degree, which indicated an enhanced hydrophilicity for the modified membrane. Both bovine serum albumin adsorption and static platelets adhesion were measured to evaluate the bio-compatibility of the poly(N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone)-modified PPMM. The statistical amounts of adsorbed bovine serum albumin and adhered platelets on unit membrane area decreased significantly, which to a certain degree demonstrated that the hemocompatibility of PPMM was improved. The N₂ permeability and the mean pore diameters of different PPMMs increased at first, then decreased after certain grafting degree. The changes of water flux followed a similar tendency. These indicated that at low grafting degree pore degradation induced by γ-ray irradiation had a major impact on permeability, while this was overcompensated by the grafted polymer at high grafting degrees.
