Thermoreversible gelation of blend of poly(vinylidene fluoride) and poly(vinylidene fluoride-trifluoroethylene) in γ-butyrolactone solution
Authors:Jae Whan Cho  Gyu Won Lee
Abstract:Thermoreversible gelation behavior of blend of poly(vinylidene fluoride) and poly(vinylidene fluoride-trifluoroethylene) in γ-butyrolactone solution was studied. Sol-gel transition temperature increased with the increase of polymer concentration, but was independent of the blend ratio of two polymers. An equation for gelation rate was derived, assuming that the gelation is a first-order reaction and that the gelation rate obeys an Arrhenius type. According to the equation, the growth index of gelation and supercooling temperature had a dominant effect on gelation rate. The growth index of gelation, which was calculated from the dependence of activation energy on the supercooling temperature in the isothermal gelation, varied with the blend ratio of two polymers. Growth index of gelation larger than 2 was obtained for the blend gels studied in this experiment. It may suggest that the multidimensional growth of gels occurs in such polymer blend solutions. X-ray diffraction and differential scanning calorimetry measurements showed existence of separate crystals due to each component of polymer in the blend gels. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
