Calorimetry in nonstandard conditions: The noncrystalline phases of linear polyethylene

A linear Union Carbide PE (UC) has been analyzed by nonstandard calorimetry with a common DSC calorimeter and a Setaram C80 calorimeter. Nonstandard calorimetry entails using a low rate of heating (0.5–1 K/min), a small mass (0.5–1.5 mg), and an open cell (O‐cell) instead of the standard C‐cell. Events in O‐cells overlap less and occur with a faster kinetics than in C‐cells. PE crystals are nascent, solution‐grown (S‐grown), press‐grown (P‐grown), and strained by extrusion. In Part A, the traces show that the phase‐changes in the melt, previously observed in a C80 calorimeter (slow T‐ramp) and characterized by ΔH_network, can be observed with a common DSC in nonstandard conditions. In Part B, the difference between the C‐ and O‐cells and the changes in the main peak enthalpy (ΔH_ortho) are of interest. The main result is that, in O‐cells, the value of ΔH_ortho around T_ortho, exceeds unambiguously in certain conditions ΔH_ortho found for perfect orthorhombic crystals. The main endotherm contains then another contribution, namely ΔH_network. Crystal reorganization during the slow T‐ramp is followed in the C‐ and O‐cells on S‐grown crystals. In O‐cells, lamellar thickening observed in the slow‐ramp is more extensive. The ease of phase‐change depends on the sample history. It is as follows: strained‐part extruded > nascent > S‐grown > P‐grown. Co‐operative chain motions are more hindered in the standard C‐cells than in the O‐cells. In Part C, lower values of m succeed in bringing phase‐changes in P‐grown (O‐cells) samples. The origin of the events is discussed: three processes are thought to contribute to the phase‐changes namely, melting of strained short‐range order, activation of vibrations in the CH₂ groups, and fast decay of chain orientation which occurs simultaneously with melting. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Structure transfer from a polymeric melt to the solid state. Part I: The influence of chain entanglements in linear polyethylene

Melt-spinning experiments were carried out at high quenching rates. Mechanical properties (elongation at break, natural draw ratio, and elastic recovery) have been measured. Significant variations of these quantities were observed when extrusion conditions were changed. This has been attributed to different states of the entanglements within the melt, which are directly transferred into the solid state. This intercorrelation between melt and solid-state properties has been substantiated in the case of rapidly cooled samples, where a poor crystallization on one side and a simultaneous good conservation of melt history on the other side are provoked.

Non‐empirical calculations of NMR indirect carbon–carbon coupling constants: 3. Polyhedranes

High‐level ab initio calculations of carbon–carbon coupling constants were carried out in tetrahedrane, prismane and cubane using the SOPPA (Second‐Order Polarization Propagator Approach) computational scheme, in good agreement with available experimental data. It was found that SOPPA performs perfectly well in combination with Dunning's correlation‐consistent basis sets augmented with inner core functions; however, no improvement was observed on adding tight s‐functions. The utmost importance of electronic correlation effects decreasing the total values of computed J(C,C) in the title compounds by a factor of ～2.0–2.5 was found. Unknown values of J(C,C) in the title polyhedranes were predicted with high reliability and the latter were treated in terms of s‐characters of carbon–carbon bonds based on the additive scheme of coupling pathways. All three compounds under study showed decreased s‐characters of their carbon–carbon bonds, which is the result of their remarkable steric strain. Copyright © 2003 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
