在成型加工过程中,拉伸是提高聚合物材料结晶能力的一种重要手段. 本文采用红外光谱、差示扫描量热分析、X射线衍射等方法系统研究了不同温度下拉伸对聚左旋乳酸（PLLA）结晶行为的影响. 结果表明,在合适的温度条件下,拉伸能迅速提高PLLA的结晶速度和结晶度. 对经过拉伸预处理但未结晶的PLLA样品进行等温及非等温结晶的研究发现,经过拉伸预处理的PLLA样品的结晶速率和结晶度都得到提高,这表明预拉伸会影响PLLA在后续过程中的结晶行为.

采用溶液共混-共沉淀的办法获得尼龙6及聚酰胺嵌段共聚物/尼龙6共混体系粉末,样品在260℃下熔融之后经程序降温的方法得到非淬火样品,然后分别在190℃下高温退火不同时间(0~48 h),采用示差扫描量热仪(DSC)、广角X射线衍射仪(WAXD)、偏光显微镜(POM)等表征手段研究热处理对体系晶体熔融行为和结晶结构的影响.结果表明,(1)在相同的热历史条件下,嵌段共聚物的存在影响了尼龙6的结晶行为及结晶结构;(2)退火处理对两种样品有着不同的影响,对于尼龙6体系,退火处理促进了非晶相向晶相的转变,大大提高样品的结晶完善程度和结晶度;对于共混体系,退火处理同样促进了非晶相向晶相的转变,同时形成新的α型和γ型结晶,体系的结晶完善程度明显提高,退火48 h后,结晶度比原始样品提高约84%.     

剪切均匀性对流动诱导等规聚丙烯结晶的影响

固定应变和最终应变速率,采用瞬时和缓慢2种电机加速方式对样品施加剪切,研究了流场加载模式对样品流变和结晶行为的影响.实验结果显示缓慢加速能够消除剪切过程中流场的非均匀性,使样品取向度增加,提高流场对聚合物熔体的作用效果.同时,流动诱导结晶对于加速时间有依赖性.对于速率为17.7 s-1的剪切,加速时间为1 s时,熔体流动均匀且流动诱导的晶体取向最强,短加速时间(0.5 s)和长加速时间(1.5 s)样品的流动诱导结晶效果都弱于加速时间为1 s的样品.但是,对于不同剪切速率,其对应的最优加速时间不同.对于流动诱导结晶来说,加速时间应当作为一个重要参数来考虑,其背后的真实物理含义还需要进一步研究来说明.

热历史对尼龙1212熔融行为的影响

利用DSC方法研究了不同热历史条件对尼龙1212熔融行为的影响.不同的热历史条件下,在DSC曲线上,观察到尼龙1212产生2个或3个熔融峰,依据聚合物结晶理论,对各峰的来源进行了分析.在160℃下不同温度退火120 min的尼龙1212样品DSC曲线上,低温结晶熔融峰主要由低温结晶形成的一些微晶体或者片晶熔融产生,其晶体完善程度较差,熔融峰值较低,峰面积较小;主熔融峰是由样品在淬火过程中形成的晶体和升温过程中低温结晶形成的晶体的熔融重结晶形成较为完善的晶体熔融所产生,熔融峰值较高,峰面积较大.在不同的升温速率条件下,熔融峰温度有所移动,表明不同升温速率条件下产生的熔融峰的结晶晶型是相同的.在不同结晶时间下结晶,延长结晶时间对较高完善程度晶体的生长有利.在不同温度下依次退火处理的样品,熔融产生两个附加峰,这两个附加峰的峰温都比它们相应的退火温度高,而峰高和峰面积随退火温度降低而减小.根据等温结晶结果,由Hoffman方法确定了尼龙1212的平衡熔融温度为202.8℃.

聚丁二酸丁二醇酯的自成核结晶行为

利用差示扫描量热仪(DSC)研究了自成核对聚丁二酸丁二醇酯(PBS)的结晶行为的影响. 研究结果表明, PBS的有效自成核温度处理区间为118～120 ℃. PBS经自成核处理后结晶温度提高, 可以在100~118 ℃温度区间内迅速结晶. 同时, 研究了自成核处理后样品在100～104 ℃范围内的等温结晶行为、动力学过程及熔融行为. 结果表明, 随着等温结晶温度的升高, 结晶速率变慢, 熔融曲线出现多重熔融峰. Hoffman-Weeks方程分析结果表明, 自成核处理对PBS的平衡熔点没有影响. Avrami等温结晶动力学方程适合分析自成核处理样品的等温结晶动力学过程, 获得其动力学参数K与n, 其中n值偏大的原因在于自成核的样品结晶生长点增多. 根据Arrhenius方程, 计算获得PBS自成核处理后等温结晶活化能为-286 kJ/mol.     

PLLA在稳态剪切场下的非等温结晶研究

利用光学流变显微镜(ORM)在线研究剪切场下左旋聚乳酸(PLLA)非等温结晶过程,采用差示扫描量热法(DSC)和广角X射线衍射(WAXD)研究了剪切后样品的热行为和结晶性能。实验结果表明,施加剪切作用不改变PLLA的晶型,但大大加快了结晶过程,提高了起始温度。PLLA在剪切场下的结晶形态主要受剪切速率的影响,当剪切速率高于临界剪切速率(10s-1)时,PLLA由球晶向串晶转变。随着剪切速率增大,串晶的数量变多变窄,结晶更完善,结晶度增大。与剪切速率相比,剪切时间对PLLA的非等温结晶影响影响较小。

乙烯共聚单体对双轴拉伸聚丙烯薄膜用树脂的结晶及拉伸性能的影响

采用热分析、光学显微镜、拉伸测试与广角X-射线衍射等方法研究了双轴拉伸聚丙烯薄膜用均聚聚丙烯(h-BOPP)与含有少量乙烯单体的共聚聚丙烯(c-BOPP)材料的熔融、结晶特性和拉伸性能.研究发现,与均聚样品相比,共聚样品的等规度低,结晶速率慢,在相同的结晶温度条件下,其半结晶时间较长.退火处理后,结晶完善程度增加,均聚和共聚样品的断裂伸长率均比其未退火处理的低.但共聚样品的结晶速率慢,经过退火处理后其结晶完善性稍低于均聚样品,所以其断裂伸长率略大于均聚样品.经过拉伸形变后,样品的结晶结构被部分破坏,取向的非晶的分子链在后续的升温过程中很容易重构为更加完善的结晶结构,由于分子链结构的差异,均聚样品的结晶重构能力更强.阐释了由于链结构的不同导致的BOPP拉伸性能和结晶性能差异的机理.     

Effect of melt viscosity on the crystallization kinetics of pre-sheared metallocene polyethylene melts

This work aims to verify the impossibility mentioned in the literature of saturating the crystallization kinetics of pre-sheared metallocene polyethylene melts. Similarly to results reported for other materials, and contrary to other published works, an acceleration of crystallization kinetics with the increase of shear strain and its saturation at large strain values was found. Similar strain values, with the same temperature variation, were evaluated with independent experiments using different devices, which allowed us to identify the steady state as the melt state responsible for the saturation of crystallization kinetics. Since this is a partially disentangled melt state, with viscosity lower than that of fully entangled (relaxed) melts, we assign the acceleration of crystallization kinetics by application of shear, and its saturation, mainly to the facilitated diffusion of chain segments to the lamellae growth front. This conclusion is supported additionally with the experimental results of other authors.     

Overshoots in stress and free energy change during the flow-induced crystallization of polymeric melt in shear flow

<正>The effect of pre-shear flow on the subsequent crystallization process of polymeric melt was investigated and a flow-induced crystallization(FIC) model based on the conformation tensor incorporating the pre-shear effect was proposed. The model is capable of predicting the overshoot phenomena of the stress and the flow-induced free energy change of the polymeric system at high pre-shear rates.Under the condition of flow,the increase in the activated nuclei number was contributed by the flow-induced free energy change,which showed an overwhelming effect on the nuclei formation during the pre-shear process at high shear rates.The half crystallization time(f_(1/2)) of polypropylene(PP) as functions of pre-shear rate and pre-shear time at different crystallization temperatures was predicted and compared with the experiment data.Both numerical and experimental results showed that t_(1/2) of PP decreased dramatically when the flow started but leveled off at long times.It was found that two transformation stages in t_(1/2) existed within a wide range of shear rates.For the first stage where the melting polymer experienced a relatively weak shear flow,the acceleration of crystallization kinetics was mainly contributed by the steady value of free energy change while in the second stage for high shear rates,strong overshoot in flow-induced free energy change occurred and the crystallization kinetics was thus significantly enhanced.The overshoots in stress and flow-induced free energy change reflected an important role of flow on the primary nucleation especially when the flow was strong enough.     

Crystallization studies of isotactic polypropylene containing nanostructured polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane molecules under quiescent and shear conditions

Crystallization studies at quiescent and shear states in isotactic polypropylene (iPP) containing nanostructured polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) molecules were performed with in situ small‐angle X‐ray scattering (SAXS) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). DSC was used to characterize the quiescent crystallization behavior. It was observed that the addition of POSS molecules increased the crystallization rate of iPP under both isothermal and nonisothermal conditions, which suggests that POSS crystals act as nucleating agents. Furthermore, the crystallization rate was significantly reduced at a POSS concentration of 30 wt %, which suggests a retarded growth mechanism due to the molecular dispersion of POSS in the matrix. In situ SAXS was used to study the behavior of shear‐induced crystallization at temperatures of 140, 145, and 150 °C in samples with POSS concentrations of 10, 20, and 30 wt %. The SAXS patterns showed scattering maxima along the shear direction, which corresponded to a lamellar structure developed perpendicularly to the flow direction. The crystallization half‐time was calculated from the total scattered intensity of the SAXS image. The oriented fraction, defined as the fraction of scattered intensity from the oriented component to the total scattered intensity, was also calculated. The addition of POSS significantly increased the crystallization rate during shear compared with the rate for the neat polymer without POSS. We postulate that although POSS crystals have a limited role in shear‐induced crystallization, molecularly dispersed POSS molecules behave as weak crosslinkers in polymer melts and increase the relaxation time of iPP chains after shear. Therefore, the overall orientation of the polymer chains is improved and a faster crystallization rate is obtained with the addition of POSS. Moreover, higher POSS concentrations resulted in faster crystallization rates during shear. The addition of POSS decreased the average long‐period value of crystallized iPP after shear, which indicates that iPP nuclei are probably initiated in large numbers near molecularly dispersed POSS molecules. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Shear flow effects on polymer melts crystallization: kinetics features

In this work the kinetics of the isothermal crystallization from the melt of isotactic polyolefins in quiescent conditions as well as after the application of a step-shear flow is investigated by means of rheological measurements. It is shown that the kinetics of the crystallization, as measured by the increase of the storage modulus, is not affected by the strain amplitude and the frequency of the oscillation, once they are properly chosen. A strong enhancement of the crystallization kinetics has been obtained when the step-shear flow was applied at the crystallization temperature T_C=92°C for two different molecular weight poly(1-butene) samples (i-PB400 and i-PB200) and at T_C=137°C for a polypropylene (i-PP). In particular, the overall-crystallization rate constants of the i-PB400 increased with increasing the applied shear rate at a constant total strain of 60. At higher shear flow temperatures slower kinetics occurred in all the cases until the effect of the applied shear flow was lost. Moreover, the effect of the molecular weight on the flow induced crystallization phenomenon is investigated on the two i-PB samples and the results have clearly shown that the higher molecular weight i-PB200 polymer is much more sensitive than the i-PB400 to the flow history.

SHAPE MEMORY EFFECT OF SLIGHTLY-CROSSLINKED POLYETHYLENE

A series of slightly crosslinked polyethylenes (SXLPE) was prepared by aone-step method using dicumyl peroxide as crosslinking agent in a Haake Mixer. The gelcontents G (Soxhlet extracted) of the samples are in the range from 5% to 20% by weight.Their shear viscosity, crystallization and melting behavior, dynamic mechanical propertiesand shape recovery effect were systematically investigated in terms of the content of thecrosslinking agent. It shows that under certain experimental conditions the SXLPE's mayexhibit good shape fixation ability and shape memory properties, which are similar to thoseof the commercially available shape memory polyethylenes prepared by gamma-irradiationtechnique. However the shape memory behavior of these samples is not very stable due totheir low crosslinking degree, or gel content. Thus their application is limited in specialcases with fast strain fixing procedures.     

剪切流场诱导iPP等温结晶行为的研究

利用流变学方法研究了剪切诱导等规聚丙烯(iPP)的等温结晶行为.在稳态剪切流场作用下,结晶初期的法向压应力和粘度基本为一定值,一定时间后,会出现增大并迅速上升的现象.在高剪切速率下,与粘度相比较,法向压应力突变的时间要早;剪切速率减小,二者趋于一致;当剪切速率很低时,法向压应力的值很小且超出了仪器的量程,只有粘度的值是可信的.针对该现象提出了一种新的结晶速率表征法,即利用法向压应力和粘度二者中较早的突变时间表征结晶诱导时间(ton).诱导应变γ=.γ.ton,q是决定剪切影响结晶行为的一个无量纲参数,可以将不同温度下的结晶诱导时间曲线组合成一条主曲线.     

Shear influence on the phase behavior of systems containing a homopolymer A and a block copolymer AB

Cloud point temperatures (T_cp) and crystallization temperatures (T_l/s) of the ternary system tetrahydronaphthalene/poly(ethylene oxide)/poly(dimethyl siloxane-b-ethylene oxide) have been measured at different constant shear rates using a rheo-optical device and an advanced rheometer. The cloud points temperatures (UCST-type phase diagram) are reduced by several degrees as the system flows; i.e. the shear can suppress the phase separation and enlarge the homogenous region. The crystallization kinetics of PEO in the ternary mixtures has been investigated isothermally and non-isothermally at quiescent state and under shear. The shear could strongly enhance the crystallization i.e. the (T_l/s) shifts to higher temperatures and the induction time, t₀ (the time needs for the onset of crystallization) substantially decreases with increasing shear rate during the non-isothermal and isothermal crystallization processes, respectively. The isothermal crystallization kinetics at quiescent state and at different shear rates was analyzed on the bases of Avrami approach. The Avrami exponent which provides qualitative information about the nature of the nucleation and growth process, was found to be shear rate and temperature dependent. The Avrami exponent increased from ∼3 at the quiescent state to as large as 9 at &&ggr;dot; = 100 s⁻¹.     

Formation of spherulities in polyamides. IV. Even–odd polyamides and poly(ω-aminocarboxylic acids)

Isothermal and nonisothermal spherulitic crystallization in even–odd and poly(ω-aminocarboxylic acids) has been studied for a range of fusion conditions and solidification temperatures. The variety of spherulites so formed are classified mainly by optical microscopy. It is found that polyamides with similar types of repeat units generally exhibit similar morphological features under corresponding crystallization conditions. The basic patterns are illustrated in the text. Changes in spherulitic birefringence with temperature are also discussed. In some cases, at temperatures not far below the polymer melting point, platelet-like crystalline aggregates are formed in thin film preparations. These platelets exhibit properties characteristic of single crystals.
