Nonisothermal crystallization kinetics of linear bimodal–polyethylene (LBPE) and LBPE/low‐density polyethylene blends

Nonisothermal crystallization kinetics of linear bimodal–polyethylene (LBPE) and the blends of LBPE/low‐density polyethylene (LDPE) were studied using DSC at various scanning rates. The Avrami analysis modified by Jeziorny and a method developed by Mo were employed to describe the nonisothermal crystallization process of LBPE and LBPE/LDPE blends. The theory of Ozawa was also used to analyze the LBPE DSC data. Kinetic parameters such as, for example, the Avrami exponent (n), the kinetic crystallization rate constant (Z_c), the crystallization peak temperature (T_p), and the half‐time of crystallization (t_1/2) were determined at various scanning rates. The appearance of double melting peaks and double crystallization peaks in the heating and cooling DSC curves of LBPE/LDPE blends indicated that LBPE and LDPE could crystallize, respectively. As a result of these studies, the Z_c of LBPE increases with the increase of cooling rates and the T_p of LBPE for LBPE/LDPE blends first increases with increasing LBPE content in the blends and reaches its maximum, then decreases as the LBPE content further increases. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Rheological Properties of Different Film Blowing Polyethylene Samples Under Shear and Elongational Flow

Summary: The rheological behavior of polyethylenes is mainly dominated by the molecular weight, the molecular weight distribution and by the type, the amount and the distribution of the chain branches. In this work a linear metallocene catalyzed polyethylene (m‐PE), a branched metallocene catalyzed polyethylene (m‐bPE), a conventional linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE) and a low density polyethylene (LDPE) have been investigated in order to compare their rheological behavior in shear and in elongational flow. The four samples have similar melt flow index and in particular a value typical of film blowing grade. The melt viscosity has been studied both in shear and in isothermal and non‐isothermal elongational flow. The most important features of the results are that in shear flow the m‐PE sample shows less pronounced non Newtonian behavior while in the elongational flow the behavior of m‐PE is very similar to that of the linear low density polyethylene: the narrower molecular weight distribution and the better homogeneity of the branching distribution are reasonably responsible for this behavior. Of course the most pronounced non‐linear behavior is shown, as expected, by the LDPE sample and by the branched metallocene sample. This similar behavior has to be attributed to the presence of branching. Similar comments hold in non‐isothermal elongational flow; the LDPE sample shows the highest values of the melt strength and the other two samples show very similar values. As for the breaking stretching ratio the opposite is true for LDPE while m‐PE and LLDPE show higher values. The transient isothermal elongational viscosity curves show that the branched samples show a strain hardening effect, while LLDPE and m‐PE samples present a linear behavior.

Nonisothermal crystallization,melting behavior,and morphology of polypropylene/linear bimodal polyethylene blends

The nonisothermal crystallization, melting behavior, and morphology of isotactic polypropylene (PP)/linear bimodal polyethylene (LBPE) blends were studied with differential scanning calorimetry, scanning electron microscopy, and polarized optical microscopy. The results showed that PP and LBPE were miscible to a certain extent, and there was no obvious phase separation in the blends. The modified Avrami analysis, Ozawa equation, and Mo method were used to analyze the nonisothermal crystallization kinetics of the blends. The values of the Avrami exponent indicated that the crystallization nucleation of the blends was homogeneous, the growth of spherulites was three‐dimensional, and the crystallization mechanism of PP was not affected much by LBPE. The crystallization activation energy was estimated by the Kissinger method. The results obtained with the modified Avrami analysis, Mo method, and Kissinger method agreed well. The addition of a minor LBPE phase favored an increase in the overall crystallization rate of PP, showing some dilution effect of LBPE on PP. The PP spherulites decreased obviously with increasing content of LBPE. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci, 2008     

Heat Shrinkable Polymer Blends Based on Grafted Polyethylene and Chlorosulphonated Polyethylene (Part I)

Abstract

Blend prepared by melt mixing of thermoplastic material-elastomer have gained considerable attention in recent years. Heat shrinkability of the polymer which depends on elastic memory can be introduced into the system in the form of an elastomeric phase. The present study deals with the measurement of heat shrinkability of the blend of grafted polyethylene with CSM. Interchain crosslinking between grafted polyethylene and elastomer improves the shrinkability. Crystallinity of the polymer blends also affected by interchain crosslinking, thus affecting the shrinkability. Probable interactions of the rubber and plastic phase are confirmed by IR spectroscopy. Extraction of the elastomeric phase is restricted due to interchain crosslinking as confirmed by SEM study.
