Effect of Nanoclay on the Phase Separation Behavior of Poly（methyl methacrylate）/Poly（vinyl acetate） Binary Polymer Blends

The effect of nanoclay on the phase-separation behavior of poly（methyl methacrylate）/poly（vinyl acetate）（PMMA/PVAc） blends has been mainly investigated by small-angle laser light scattering. It is found that the effect of clay on the thermodynamics and kinetics of phase-separation for PMMA/PVAc blends seems inconsistent. The kinetics phaseseparation rate decreases, while the thermodynamics parameters, cloud points Tc and delay time tD of isothermal phaseseparation also decrease, and the variation amplitude depends on the matrix composition. The affinity of clay to PMMA results in the composition difference between the border layer and the polymer matrix and further causes the concentration fluctuation at the early stage of phase separation to reduce Tc and tD. On the other hand, the decrease of phase-separation rate is caused by the mechanical barrier effect of clay on the macromolecular diffusion of blend matrix. Hence, such seemingly counterintuitive results on the thermodynamics and kinetics of phase-separation are attributed to different dominant factors.     

Toughening of polycarbonate through reactive melt blending: Effect of hydroxyl content and viscosity of hydroxyl-terminated polydimethysiloxane

In this study, four hydroxyl-terminated polydimethylsiloxanes(PDMSOH) with different viscosities and hydroxyl contents were used to improve the toughness of polycarbonate(PC) through reactive melt blending. A largely improved toughness of PC has been achieved, and the low temperature toughness of PC/PDMSOH blends could overtake that of PC homopolymer in much higher temperatures(e.g.-10 °C versus 23 °C). Moreover, it was found that the more the hydroxyl content, the less the PDMSOH was needed to reach the highest toughness, suggesting that equivalent molar ratio between the carbonyl group content of PC and the hydroxyl group content of PDMSOH was required for the toughening of PC. Ultraviolet spectrophotometry was used to analyze the possible reaction between PC and PDMSOH. Contact angle was measured to assess the change of interfacial interaction between PC and PDMSOH as change of viscosity and hydroxyl content. The formation of PC-co-PDMSOH copolymer was believed to be the key for the toughening effect. This work gives a profound recommendation of the optimum kind and dosage of PDMSOH which should be used to improve the toughness of PC and will find immediate industrial applications.     

Miscibility between PS and PSAN Affected by Solvent and Temperature of the System

The influence of solvent on the miscibility of polystyrene（PS） and poly（styrene-co-acrylonitrile）（PSAN） blends has been investigated viscometrically. The miscibility of different PS/PSAN blend（30/70, 50/50 and 70/30） compositions in acetone and benzene at 20, 30, and 40 °C was investigated on the basis of the sign of Chee（ΔB and ）, and Sun’s（α） criteria. The values of these parameters were evaluated from the analyses of reduced viscosity data of binary（solvent/polymer） and ternary（solvent/polymer1/polymer2） polymer systems. These investigations indicated partial miscibility for both the blend systems. However, PS/PSAN/acetone blend system showed somewhat higher partial miscibility than the PS/PSAN/Benzene blend system highlighting the impact of solvent over the polymer-polymer interactions and hence their miscibility. The results obtained through viscometry were also corroborated by the refractive index and density results for the blends under study. The effect of temperature on miscibility in both the cases was almost negligible.     

SiO2粒子对PMMA/SAN共混体系相分离行为的影响

采用小角激光光散射(SALLS)并结合动态流变学方法,考察了气相法二氧化硅(SiO2)粒子的加入对聚甲基丙烯酸甲酯/苯乙烯-丙烯腈无规共聚物(PMMA/SAN)共混体系相行为的影响,得到了添加SiO2粒子前后的相图,发现SiO2粒子对基体相行为的影响与基体的组成有关.对PMMA/SAN(60/40)体系,加入SiO2粒子后相分离温度上升,但并未改变相分离机理,仍为亚稳单相分解过程(spinodal decomposition,SD);而对于PMMA/SAN(30/70)体系,加入SiO2粒子后却降低了体系的相分离温度.该现象可能是SiO2粒子和基体组分界面间组成与PMMA/SAN共混物基体组成的差异造成的.
