Isothermal and nonisothermal crystallization kinetics of isotactic polypropylene nucleated with substituted aromatic heterocyclic phosphate salts

The crystallization kinetics of isotactic polypropylene (iPP) and nucleated iPP with substituted aromatic heterocyclic phosphate salts were investigated by means of a differential scanning calorimeter under isothermal and nonisothermal conditions. During isothermal crystallization, Avrami equation was used to describe the crystallization kinetics. Moreover, kinetics parameters such as the Avrami exponent n, crystallization rate constant Z_t, and crystallization half‐time t_1/2 were compared. The results showed that a remarkable decrease in t_1/2 as well as a significant increase in overall crystallization rate was observed in the presence of monovalent salts of substituted aromatic heterocyclic phosphate, while bivalent and trivalent salts have little effect on crystallization rate of iPP. The addition of monovalent metal salts could decrease the interfacial free energy per unit area perpendicular to PP chains σ_e value of iPP so that the nucleation rate of iPP was increased. During nonisothermal crystallization, Caze method was used to analyze the crystallization kinetics. It also showed that monovalent metal salts had better nucleation effects than bivalent and trivalent metal salts. From the obtained Avrami exponents of iPP and nucleated iPP it could be concluded that the addition of different nucleating agents changed the crystal growth pattern of iPP. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Joint effects of molecular structure and crystal morphology of organophosphate monovalent salts on nucleated isotactic poly(propylene)

The nucleation ability of organophosphate monovalent salts in isotactic poly(propylene) (iPP) was elucidated from the crystalline morphology and molecular structure with different size of cationic radius (r) of substitute parts. Differential scanning calorimetry result showed that the degree of crystallinity of nucleated iPP increased linearly with the increasing of r following the order of lithium (NA-10), sodium (NA-11), potassium (NA-12), ammonium (NA-13) salts of 2,2′-methylene- bis-(4,6-di-t-butylphenylene) phosphate. Moreover, small-angle X-ray scattering result displayed a large increase in the periodical length of nucleated iPP, which arises from an increment of both lamella thickness and amorphous thickness. Further, at 0.15 wt% concentration, the haze values of nucleated iPP presented a decrease tendency in the order of iPP/NA-10 (16.7 %), iPP/NA-11 (15.1 %), iPP/NA-12 (14.6 %), iPP/NA-13 (14.8 %), and their flexural strength was increased by 26.2 %, 30.8 %, 31.4 % and 31.7 %, respectively, as comparison to virgin iPP. These results demonstrated that the nucleating ability of these nucleating agents increased with the increase of r of substitute parts.     

Combined effect of organic phosphate sodium and nanoclay on the mechanical properties and crystallization behavior of isotactic polypropylene

Combined effect of α‐nucleating agent (NA) sodium 2,2′‐methylene‐bis(4,6‐di‐tert‐butylphenyl) phosphate (NA11) and nanoclay (NC) on the mechanical properties and crystallization behavior of isotactic polypropylene (iPP) was investigated by mechanical testing, wide‐angle X‐ray scattering (WAXD), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), polarized optical microscopy (POM), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The mechanical testing results indicated that the separate addition of NA11 and NC only increased the stiffness of iPP while the combined addition of NA11, NC, and maleic anhydride grafted polypropylene (PP‐g‐MA) simultaneously improved stiffness and toughness of iPP. Compared to pure iPP, the tensile strength, the flexural modulus, and impact strength of iPP composites increased 9.7, 38.6, and 42.9%, respectively. The result indicated good synergistic effects of NC, NA11, and PP‐g‐MA in improving iPP mechanical properties. WAXD patterns revealed NA11, and NC only induced the α‐crystals of iPP. SEM micrograph showed that the PP‐g‐MA could effectively improve the dispersing of NC in iPP. Finally, the nonisothermal crystallization kinetics of neat iPP and PP nanocomposites was described by Caze method. The result indicated that the addition of NA overcame the shortcoming of low crystallization rate of NC nanocomposites and maintained the excellent mechanical properties, which is another highlight of the combined addition of NAs and nanoclay. Meanwhile, the result showed that nuclei formation and spherulite growth of iPP were affected by the presence of NA and nanoclay. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci, 2011     

Influence of the amount of salts of rosin acid on the nonisothermal crystallization,morphology, and properties of isotactic polypropylene

The nonisothermal crystallization of Isotactic polypropylene (iPP) containing different concentration of nucleating agent potassium dehydroabietate (DHAA‐K) or sodium dehydroabietate (DHAA‐Na) at the cooling rate of 10°C/min was investigated using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) together with Jeziorny's method. It was found that the temperature at which the maximum rate of crystallization occurred shifted to a higher region by about 13.7–16.9°C, and the rate of crystallization became faster for iPP with DHAA‐K (PPK) or DHAA‐Na (PPNa) in comparison to the virgin iPP. Avrami exponent for virgin PP, PPK, and PPNa was about 3.1, 2.2, and 2.2, respectively, suggesting the change of the crystal growth mechanism of iPP with the addition of the nucleating agents. The morphology of iPP with and without nucleating agent examined by a cross polarized light microscope indicated that the size of spherulites marginally decreased, which then remained stable with the increase of the concentration of DHAA‐K or DHAA‐Na. The measurements of the optical and mechanical properties of iPP showed that the transparency, gloss, and flexural modulus increased with increasing nucleating agent before its optimal concentration.

辛二酸盐成核改性等规聚丙烯的研究

采用DSC、WAXD、PLM等分析手段研究了辛二酸和辛二酸盐对等规聚丙(烯iPP)结晶行为的影响。结果表明:辛二酸、辛二酸锂、辛二酸钠、辛二酸钾、辛二酸镁、辛二酸钡和辛二酸锌都不是β晶成核剂,辛二酸锶和辛二酸镉是弱β晶成核剂,辛二酸钙是强β晶成核剂。通过分析结晶温度发现,辛二酸和辛二酸盐对iPP成核能力的大小顺序为:辛二酸>辛二酸钙>辛二酸镁>辛二酸锌>辛二酸钾>辛二酸镉>辛二酸钡>辛二酸钠>辛二酸锶>辛二酸锂。     

The effect of bicyclo[2.2.1]hept‐5‐ene‐2,3‐dicarboxylate on the mechanical properties and crystallization behaviors of isotactic polypropylene

The mechanical and optical properties of iPP nucleated with bicyclo[2.2.1]heptenedicarboxylate salts (BCHED) have been investigated. The results showed that aluminum bicyclo[2.2.1]heptenedicarboxylate (BCHE13) is the most effective nucleating agent to improve the mechanical and optical properties. Then the effects of the BCHE13 concentration on mechanical and optical properties and crystallization behaviors were studied. The results indicated that the saturated concentration of BCHE13 is about 0.2 wt %, at which nucleated iPP showed the better comprehensive mechanical and optical properties and high crystallization peak temperature. Nonisothermal crystallization kinetics of iPP nucleated with different BCHE13 contents have been investigated by Caze method. The results indicated Avrami exponents of nucleated iPP gradually increased with the increasing of BCHE13 concentration. The results can be explained that crystallization and growth model of nucleated iPP is heterogeneous nuclei followed by more than three‐dimension spherical growth during nonisothermal crystallization, which can be proved by agglomeration of BCHE13 in melt iPP. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Crystallization behavior and crystallization kinetic studies of isotactic polypropylene modified by long‐chain branching polypropylene

In this article, we discuss the crystallization behavior and crystallization kinetics of isotactic polypropylene (iPP) modified by long‐chain‐branching (LCB) high‐melt‐strength iPP over a wide composition range, that is, LCB‐iPP from 10 to 50 wt %. Over the entire range we investigated, the presence of LCB‐iPP accelerated crystallization in both the isothermal crystallization process and nonisothermal crystallization process, even when the LCB‐iPP content was as low as 10%, and both crystallization processes were enhanced more significantly as the LCB‐iPP content increased. Hoffman–Lauritzen theory analysis revealed that the fold‐free energy decreased effectively with the occurrence of the LCB structure, although the growth rate of spherulites was depressed, as shown by polarized optical microscopy. Meanwhile, the regime III–regime II transition temperature was about 15° higher for all of the LCB‐iPP compositions than that of iPP because the LCB structure reduced the mobility of the polypropylene chains. Furthermore, the γ‐form crystal structure was favored by LCB compared to the β form, which was supported by wide‐angle X‐ray diffraction. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci, 2009     

β‐Nucleation of pimelic acid supported on metal oxides in isotactic polypropylene

To investigate the nucleation of metal pimelate for isotactic polypropylene (iPP) crystallization, iPP filled with a series of metal oxides with and without metal pimelate on their surface was prepared. There was a chemical reaction between pimelic acid (PA) and metal oxides MgO, CaO, BaO or ZnO, but not TiO₂. The corresponding metal pimelate formed by the chemical reaction between PA and MgO, CaO, BaO or ZnO had a different influence on the crystallization behavior and melting characteristics of iPP. Addition of metal oxides increased the crystallization temperature of iPP and mainly formed α‐phase due to the heterogeneous α‐nucleation of metal oxides. The α‐nucleation of CaO could be easily changed into β‐nucleation using CaO‐supported PA, and 90.1% β‐phase was obtained. The β‐nucleation of BaO could be markedly enhanced by barium pimelate formed using supported PA. However, no β‐phase was observed for iPP filled with MgO‐ or ZnO‐supported PA. The various metal oxides with supported PA had a different influence on the crystallization behavior and melting characteristics of iPP due to the different structure of metal pimelate formed by chemical reaction between PA and the metal oxides.

Nucleation effects of sodium and ammonium salts of 2,2′‐methylene‐bis‐(4,6‐di‐t‐butylphenylene)phosphate in isotactic polypropylene

The nucleation ability of isotactic poly(propylene) (iPP) to ammonium 2,2′‐methylene‐bis‐(4,6‐di‐t‐butylphenylene) phosphate (An) was investigated in the present work comparing with sodium 2,2′‐methylene‐bis‐(4,6‐di‐t‐butylphenylene) phosphate (NA‐11). Scanning electron microscope (SEM) revealed the crystalline morphology of both An and NA‐11 with planar surface characteristics. The observation of the fracture surface of nucleation iPP samples by SEM showed An particles were dispersed uniformly in polymer and had a better compatibility with iPP matrix than NA‐11 particles. Differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) showed that the melting temperature of An was 262°C significantly lower than that measured from NA‐11 group (above 400°C). Crystallization behaviors of iPP/NA‐11 and iPP/An were also investigated by DSC analysis, respectively. The results showed the crystallization peak temperature and the crystallinity of iPP/An were almost near to that of iPP/NA‐11. Furthermore, mechanical and optical properties of iPP were strongly improved in the presences of An and NA‐11. The flexural strength of iPP was elevated 34 and 35% and the haze value was reduced from 40.4 to 15.1 and 14.9% by the addition of 0.15 wt% NA‐11 and An, respectively. These results demonstrate that the nucleating agent of An described here is a good nucleating agent for the crystallization of iPP as well as NA‐11. POLYM. ENG.

Stereochemistry of Electrophilic Reactions of 4-t-Butyl-1-phenylcyclohexyllithium, -sodium, -potassium and -cesium

The first three title compounds were prepared by treating the diastereomeric 4-t-butyl-1-phenyl-1-phenylthiocyclohexanes 8 or 9 (Scheme 3) with lithium, sodium, or potassium naphthalenide, respectively. The potassium derivative was also obtained by treatment of 9 with sodium/potassium alloy and the cesium derivative was similarly obtained by reaction with cesium/potassium/sodium alloy. Quenching of any of these salts with D₂O gave cis- and trans-4-t-butyl-1-phenylcyclohexane-1-d(cis- and trans- 7 -d) in an approximately 1:1 ratio. The reaction was stereoconvergent and the product ratio independent of the metal; the result is explained in terms of a diffusion controlled reaction of a planar or near-planar carbanion. In contrast, methylation with methyl iodide gave the product of axial methylation 10 in an approximately 2:1 predominance over diastereomer 11 . This result is explained in terms of Curtin-Hammett kinetics involving a stereoelectronically preferred axial approach to the electrophile. ¹³C NMR spectral studies of the lithium, potassium, and cesium salts indicate extensive delocalization of the anionic charge into the ring—somewhat more so with the K and Cs than with the Li salt. This finding supports the hypothesis that at least the K and Cs salts involve a planar carbanion moiety, whereas the Li salt may be slightly nonplanar. Both spectrally and stereochemically, the title compounds differ substantially from the earlier studied 2-phenyl-1,3-dithianes.     

TEMPO and Carboxylic Acid Functionalized Imidazolium Salts/Sodium Nitrite: An Efficient,Reusable, Transition Metal‐Free Catalytic System for Aerobic Oxidation of Alcohols

An effective catalytic system comprising a 2,2,6,6‐tetramethylpiperidine‐1‐oxyl (TEMPO) functionalized imidazolium salt ([Imim‐TEMPO]⁺ X⁻), a carboxylic acid substituted imidazolium salt ([Imim‐COOH]⁺ X⁻), and sodium nitrite (NaNO₂) was developed for the aerobic oxidation of aliphatic, allylic, heterocyclic and benzylic alcohols to the respective carbonyl compounds with excellent selectivity up to >99%, even at ambient conditions. Notably, the catalyst system could preferentially oxidize a primary alcohol to the aldehyde rather than a secondary alcohol to the ketone. Moreover, the reaction rate is greatly enhanced when a proper amount of water is present. And a high turnover number (TON 5000) is achieved in the present transition metal‐free aerobic catalytic system. Additionally, the functionalized imidazolium salts are successfully reused at least four times. This process thus represents a greener pathway for the aerobic oxidation of alcohols into carbonyl compounds by using the present task‐specific ionic liquids in place of the toxic and volatile additive, such as hydrogen bromide, bromine, or hydrogen chloride (HBr, Br₂ or HCl), which is commonly required for the transition metal‐free aerobic oxidation of alcohols.     

Influence of a novel β‐nucleating agent on the structure,morphology, and nonisothermal crystallization behavior of isotactic polypropylene

The crystalline structure, morphology, and nonisothermal crystallization behavior of isotactic polypropylene (iPP) with and without a novel rare earth‐containing β‐nucleating agent (WBG) were investigated with wide‐angle X‐ray diffraction, polar optical microscopy, and differential scanning calorimetry. WBG could induce the formation of the β form, and a higher proportion of the β form could be obtained by the combined effect of the optimum WBG concentration and a lower cooling rate. The content of the β form could reach more than 0.90 in a 0.08 wt % WBG nucleated sample at cooling rates lower than 5°C/min. Polar optical microscopy showed that WBG led to substantial changes in both the morphological development and crystallization process of iPP. At all the studied cooling rates, the temperature at which the maximum rate of crystallization occurred was increased by 8–11°C in the presence of the nucleating agent. An analysis of the nonisothermal crystallization kinetics also revealed that the introduction of WBG significantly shortened both the apparent incubation period for crystallization and the overall crystallization time. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Isothermal crystallization kinetics and morphology development of isotactic polypropylene blends with atactic polypropylene

The crystallization kinetics and morphology development of pure isotactic polypropylene (iPP) homopolymer and iPP blended with atactic polypropylene (aPP) at different aPP contents and the isothermal crystallization temperatures were studied with differential scanning calorimetry, wide‐angle X‐ray diffraction, and polarized optical microscopy. The spherulitic morphologies of pure iPP and larger amounts of aPP for iPP blends showed the negative spherulite, whereas that of smaller amounts of aPP for the iPP blends showed a combination of positive and negative spherulites. This indicated that the morphology transition of the spherulite may have been due to changes the crystal forms of iPP in the iPP blends during crystallization. Therefore, with smaller amounts of aPP, the spherulitic density and overall crystallinity of the iPP blends increased with increasing aPP and presented a lower degree of perfection of the γ form coexisting with the α form of iPP during crystallization. However, with larger amounts of aPP, the spherulitic density and overall crystallinity of the iPP blends decreased and reduced the γ‐form crystals with increasing aPP. These results indicate that the aPP molecules hindered the nucleation rate and promoted the molecular motion and growth rate of iPP with smaller amounts of aPP and hindered both the nucleation rate and growth rate of iPP with larger amounts of aPP during isothermal crystallization. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Preparation and characterization of a number of amine salts of long-chain fatty acids

Summary Eighty-eight amine salts of long-chain fatty acids have been prepared, purified by solvent crystallization, and characterized. Forty-five of these were salts of palmitic acid. The rest included salts of capric, lauric, myristic, stearic, oleic, elaidic, and 12-hydroxystearic acids. A variety of aliphatic, aromatic, and heterocyclic amines, including primary, secondary, and tertiary amines, were investigated. The majority of these gave 1∶1 acid-amine compounds on solvent recrystallization of an equimolar mixture of acid and amine. Some of the amines gave no crystallizable salt, and with others the pure salt could not be obtained by this procedure. Under the same conditions the symmetrical alkyl, substituted alkyl, and aralkyl secondary amines investigated gave crystallizable compounds containg two molecules of fatty acid to one of amine. Molecular compounds of 2-aminopyridine with four molecules of saturated fatty acid were formed by recrystallization starting with a 1 to 4 amine-acid mixture. Surface-tension measurements were made for aqueous solutions of a few of the amine salts.

Pulsed NMR study on the hydration of poly(acrylic acid) salts

Summary Pulsed NMR was applied to measure the spin-lattice (T₁) and spin-spin (T₂) relaxation times of the equilibrium water absorbed in poly(acrylic acid) lithium salt, sodium salt, and potassium salt. T₁ and T₂ relaxation time curves for the samples of lithium and sodium salts studied showed single phase behavior, but the sample of potassium salt exhibited two-phase behavior, indicating the existence of water fraction of higher mobility.     

Chemical nucleation,a new concept applied to the mechanism of action of organic acid salts on the crystallization of polyethylene terephthalate and bisphenol—A polycarbonate

Bisphenol-A polycarbonate (PC) and Polyethylene terephthalate (PETP) systems containing different concentrations of sodium o-chlorobenzoate (SOCB) as crystallization promoters have been studied by d.s.c., i.r. and g.p.c. It is shown that the time and temperature of mixing of the salt with the polymer considerably affects the crystallization rates. G.p.c. and i.r. show that a chemical reaction occurs during the mixing process between the salt and the ester links of the macromolecules. This reaction produces ionic end-groups which are responsible for the acceleration of the crystallization rate. This phenomenon is called ‘chemical nucleation’. The same behaviour is observed also with other alkali metal salts derived from aromatic carboxylic acids.

A novel highly efficient β‐nucleating agent for isotactic polypropylene

A novel highly efficient β‐nucleating agent for isotactic polypropylene (iPP), hexahydrophthalic barium (HHPA‐Ba), was found and its effects on the mechanical properties, the β‐phase content, and crystallization behavior of iPP were investigated, respectively. The results show that the β‐phase content of nucleated iPP (k_β value) can reach 80.2% with 0.4 wt % HHPA‐Ba. The impact strength and crystallization peak temperature of nucleated iPP are greatly increased. Compared with pure iPP, the impact strength of nucleated iPP can increase 2.4 times. Meanwhile, the spherulite size of nucleated iPP is dramatically decreased than that of pure iPP. The Caze method was used to investigate the nonisothermal crystallization kinetics of nucleated iPP and the crystallization active energy was achieved by Kissinger method. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
