Characterization of hemicelluloses in process streams in thermomechanical and chemi-thermomechanical pulp mills

Increased interest in hemicelluloses as a renewable source of biopolymers has resulted in an interest in hemicelluloses in process streams in pulp mills. The aim of this study was to compare potential positions for the withdrawal of hemicelluloses from mechanical pulp mills. Samples were withdrawn at a total of fourteen positions from two thermomechanical and two chemi-thermomechanical pulp mills. The molecular mass distributions of hemicelluloses and lignin were determined by size-exclusion chromatography. Hemicelluloses showed peaks in the molecular mass interval of 0.2–2 kDa and 4–60 kDa, whereas lignin showed peaks in the range of 0.5–4 kDa, but no peak in the high-molecular-mass region. Glucomannan accounts for approximately two-thirds of the hemicellulose content of softwood, and mannan and glucan were thus the dominating saccharides in all samples. Mannan was preferentially found in fractions with a molecular mass ranging from 4 to 22 kDa.

Mechanical properties of polypropylene composite reinforced with oil palm empty fruit bunch pulp

In this study, oil palm empty fruit bunch (EFB) pulp was used as reinforcing agent in polypropylene composite. EFB pulp was prepared using soda pulping with different concentrations of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) solution. Overall, the tensile and flexural properties specifically the strength and the toughness showed improvement as the NaOH content in the treatment was increased. This was attributed to lower probability for EFB pulp to agglomerate and the production of higher aspect ratio pulp fibers. Scanning electron microscopy analysis showed evidence of the reduction in EFB bundles diameter after NaOH treatment. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci, 2010     

Evolution of peroxide‐induced thermomechanical degradation of polypropylene along the extruder

An experimental study of the peroxide‐induced degradation of polypropylene in a corotating twin‐screw extruder, operating under various conditions, was reported. Runs were performed without and with peroxide in different concentrations. The evolution of the chemical reactions along the extruder was characterized by on‐line rheological measurements and by determination of the molecular weight of samples collected at the same locations. The results evidenced the relationships between peroxide concentration and processing conditions with rheological properties and molecular structure of the modified materials. The concept of chain‐scission distribution function elucidated the mechanisms involved in the thermomechanical degradation of PP, which is by chain scission and is dependent on the level of stress imposed by the screw elements, temperature, and concentration of hydrogen‐abstracting agents. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Extrudate swell behavior of polypropylene composites filled with microencapsulated red phosphorus

The microencapsulated red phosphorus (MRP) filled polypropylene (PP) composites were prepared using a twin‐screw extruder. The effects of load and temperature on the extrudate swell behavior of the PP/MRP composite melts were investigated by means of a melt flow indexer. The test temperatures and loads were varied from 180 to 205°C and from 2.16 to 12.5 kg, respectively. The results showed that the die‐swell ratio (B) of the composite melts increased roughly linearly with increasing load while decreased slightly with a rise of test temperature. The sensitivity of the die‐swell ratio of the composite melts to load was significant. When the test temperature or load was constant, the values of the B of the composite melts decreased slightly with increasing MRP weight fraction. The findings can provide useful information for processing of these composites. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym. Sci., 2013     

Rheology and thermal behavior of long branching polypropylene prepared by reactive extrusion

Long‐chain branching polypropylene (LCB‐PP) was achieved by reactive extrusion in the presence of bifunctional monomer [1,6‐hexanediol diarylate (HDDA)] and peroxide of dicumyl peroxide (DCP). Influences of HDDA and DCP concentrations on the branching efficiency were comparatively evaluated. Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) results indicated that the grafting reaction took place, and HDDA has been grafted on PP skeleton. In comparison with initial PP, some modified samples showed lower melt flow index because of a large number of LCB in their skeleton. Several rheology plots were used to investigate the rheological properties of the initial PP and modified PPs, and the rheological characteristics confirmed the LCB in modified PPs skeleton. DSC results showed that the crystallization temperatures of modified PPs were higher than those of initial PP and degraded PP, suggesting that the modified PPs had long‐chain branched structure. The contrastive investigation in the rheology of modified PPs suggested that proper concentrations of HDDA and DCP were more beneficial to producing LCB during reactive extrusion. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Rheological behavior and processability of polypropylene blends with rubber ethylene propylene diene terpolymer

A study of the dynamic complex and steady shear viscosity of isotactic polypropylene (iPP), ethylene–propylene diene terpolymer rubber (EPDM) and three different blends of both polymers are presented over a range of temperatures and frequencies. Moreover, the processability of these materials is studied through torque measurements during blend mixing. The results obtained show that the viscosity gradually increases with rubber content in the blend and decreases with both temperature and frequency. Plots of η″ versus η′ (Cole–Cole plots) show that the blend with the lower rubber content (25%), has a certain rheological compatibility with neat PP. Furthermore, torque curves measured during blend mixing confirm these results, demonstrating that the blend with 25% of elastomer has a similar behavior of iPP during processing. To analyze the morphological structure of the blends, a dynamic mechanical analysis of the solid state is also presented. It is observed that the blends have two distinct values of T_g close to the corresponding values of the pure polymers, confirming that this type of blends based on a semicrystalline polymer and an amorphous elastomer forms a two‐phase system with a limited degree of miscibility between both components. In addition, the polymer present with the higher concentration forms the continuous phase and controls the rheological properties of the blend. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

不同工艺制备的PP/蒙脱土纳米复合材料的性能

选择一种新型有机蒙脱土（MMT）,分别通过直接注塑法和挤出一注射法（简称挤出法）将聚丙烯（PP）与有机MMT复合,制备出高抗冲PP／MMT纳米复合材料。透射电子显微镜观察表明。挤出法制备的复合材料为全插层型结构,MMT分散均匀,尺寸小;而直接注塑法制备的复合材料为部分插层型结构．MMT明显分散不均匀,尺寸较大,且有少量团聚产生。力学性能测试表明,随着MMT的增加．2种试样的缺口冲击强度都有显著提高,均在ω（MMT）为4％时达到极大值。此时,挤出法试样缺口冲击强度比纯PP提高102％。屈服拉伸强度、弹性模量也略有提高;直接注塑法试样的缺口冲击强度比纯PP提高82．6％,但屈服拉伸强度、弹性模量都明显降低。     

Melt rheology of polypropylene reinforced with polyaniline‐coated short glass fibers

This research deals with the melt rheology of isotactic polypropylene (iPP) reinforced with short glass fibers (SGF) coated with electrically conductive polyaniline (PAn). Composites containing 10, 20, and 30 wt % PAn‐SGF were studied. Moreover, a composite of 30 wt % PAn‐SGF was also prepared with a blend of iPP and PP‐grafted‐maleic anhydride (iPP/PP‐gMA). The composites showed linear viscoelastic regime at small strain amplitudes. The onset of nonlinearity decreased as the concentration of filler increased. The time‐temperature superposition principle applied to all composites. The filler increased the shear moduli (G′, G″) and the complex viscosity η*. Steady‐state shear experiments showed yield stress for the composites with 20 and 30 wt % PAn‐SGF. Strikingly, the 10 wt % composite showed higher steady state viscosity than the 20 wt %. Rheo‐optics showed that shear induced disorder of microfibers at a concentration of 10 wt %. However, at 20 wt % concentration shear aligned the microfibers along the flow axis, this would explain the anomalous steady state viscosity values. The viscosity exhibited a shear thinning behavior at high shear rates for all composites. Creep experiments showed that the filler induced greater strain recovery in the composites and that the amount of strain recovery increased as the PAn‐SGF concentration increased. However, the enhancement of strain recovery (as well as shear viscosity) was more significant when using the iPP/PP‐gMA blend, suggesting greater adhesion between this matrix and the filler PAn‐SGF. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Influence of polyfunctional monomer on melt strength and rheology of long‐chain branched polypropylene by reactive extrusion

Long chain branching (LCB) were added to linear polypropylene (PP) using reactive extrusion in the presence of selected polyfunctional monomers (PFMs) and a peroxide of dibenzoyl peroxide (BPO). Fourier Transformed Infrared spectra (FTIR) directly confirmed the grafting reaction occurred during the reactive extrusion process. Various rheological plots including viscosity curve, storage modulus, Cole‐Cole plot, and Van‐Gurp plots, confirmed that the LCB structure were introduced into modified PPs skeleton after modification. In comparison with linear PP, the branched samples exhibited higher melt strength, lower melt flow index, and the enhancement of crystallization temperature. The LCB level in modified PPs and their melt strength were affected by the type of PFM used and could be controlled by the PFM properties and structure. PFMs with lower boiling points, such as 1, 4‐butanediol diacrylate (BDDA), could not produce LCB structure in modified PP skeleton. The shorter molecular chain bifunctional monomers, such as 1,6‐hexanediol diacrylate (HDDA), favored the branching reaction if their boiling points were above the highest extrusion temperature. And some polar groups, such as hydroxyl, in the molecule of PFM were harmful to the branching reaction, which might be attributed to the harm of the polarity of groups to the dispersion of PFM in PP matrix. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Water absorption and dimensional stability of short kenaf fiber‐filled polypropylene composites treated with maleated polypropylene

The purpose of this research was to investigate the water absorption behavior and associated dimensional stability of kenaf‐polypropylene‐filled (PP/KF) composites. Composites with different fiber loadings, ranging from 0 to 40 wt %, were prepared with a twin‐screw extruder followed by hot press molding. The influence of the compatibilizer was also studied for PP/KF composite with 5 wt % maleated PP (MAPP). Water absorption testing was carried out at room temperature for 7 weeks. Tensile, flexural, and impact tests were also performed on control, wet, and re‐dried specimens. Increasing the fiber content resulted in higher water absorption and thickness swelling. The inferior mechanical properties of the wet composites were attributed to the effect of water, which deteriorates the interfacial properties of composites. On re‐drying, all properties were almost recovered because of the recovery of interfacial area as evident in scanning electron micrographs. Incorporation of the MAPP significantly improved the compatibility between the fiber and matrix and the mechanical properties of the composites compared with those without MAPP. It also diminished the water absorption as well as the related thickness swelling in the composites. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci, 2010

Impact modification of polypropylene copolymer with a polyolefinic elastomer

Polypropylene copolymer (PP‐cp) has a large number of applications and is preferred over the homopolymer due to its higher impact strength. These impact properties can be further improved by blending with polyolefinic elastomer (POE). Blends were prepared by using commercially available POE (Engage® EG 8150, Dupont–Dow Elastomers), by varying POE content up to 25%. The effect of processing conditions on the properties of the blends was studied. Although impact strength increased, flexural modulus decreased. Dicumyl peroxide caused chain scission of PP‐cp rather than crosslinking of POE. The results seem to indicate that there may be optimum concentration of POE around 10% for the polymers used in the present work. The grade of PP‐cp used in this work contained about 10–11% ethylene content (rubber phase around 17–18%). These results match with general observations that brittle–tough transition for PP occurs when total elastomer content is about 20–25%. © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Rheological and isothermal crystallization characteristics of neat and calcium carbonate‐filled syndiotactic polypropylene

Steady‐state and oscillatory shear behavior of three neat syndiotactic polypropylene (s‐PP) resins and a s‐PP resin (s‐PP#8) filled with CaCO₃ particles of varying content, size, and type of surface modification were investigated. All of the neat s‐PP resins investigated exhibited the expected shear‐thinning behavior. Both the storage and loss moduli increased with decreasing temperature. The shift factors used to construct the master curves were fitted well with both the Arrhenius and the Williams–Landel–Ferry (WLF) equations. The inclusion of CaCO₃ particles of varying content, size, and type of surface modification, to a large extent, affected both the steady‐state and oscillatory shear behavior of s‐PP/CaCO₃ compounds, with the property values being found to increase with increasing content, decreasing size, and surface coating of the CaCO₃ particles. Lastly, the effects of melt‐annealing and crystallization temperatures on isothermal crystallization behavior of s‐PP#8 filled with CaCO₃ particles of varying content, size, and type of surface modification were also investigated. The half‐time of crystallization of neat s‐PP#8 exhibited a strong correlation with the choice of the melt‐annealing temperature (T_f) when T_f was less than about 160 °C, while it became independent of T_f when T_f was greater than about 160 °C. On the other hand, the half‐time of crystallization of s‐PP#8/CaCO₃ compounds did not vary much with the T_f. Generally, the observed half‐time of crystallization decreased with increasing CaCO₃ content and increased with increasing CaCO₃ particle size. Finally, coating the surface of CaCO₃ particles with either stearic acid or paraffin reduced the ability of the particles to effectively nucleate s‐PP#8. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Dynamic rheological behavior of polypropylene melts with pulsatile pressure flow in a dynamic capillary rheometer

A self‐made dynamic capillary rheometer (DCR) was designed to investigate the dynamic viscoelastic characteristic of polypropylene (PP) melt during the pulsatile pressure extrusion. A vibration force field was parallel superposed upon steady shear flow in this DCR by means of a vibration driven piston. During the pulsatile pressure extruding process in DCR, the PP melt displayed apparent viscoelasticity. The experiment results proved the pressure pulsatile extrusion could reduce the viscosity of polymer melts effectively. The phase difference between the shear stress and the shear rate decreased with the superposed vibration. But, at large amplitude conditions, the viscosity has an increasing tendency. This maybe illuminated that large amplitude could be harmful for the vibration‐assistant polymer processing. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 102: 1834–1838, 2006     

Upcycling of polypropylene with various concentrations of peroxydicarbonate and dilauroyl peroxide and two processing steps

The influence of two peroxides (peroxydicarbonate/dilauroyl peroxide) with various concentrations (10–200 mmol/kg PP) and their effective opportunity to introduce long chain branched (LCB) were investigated. The dependence of a single and double extrusion step and the changes of the properties were studied. Experiments were carried out in a single screw extruder at 180°C for the first extrusion step (modification) and at 240°C for the second extrusion step (processing simulation). Melt flow rate and dynamic rheological properties were studied at a measuring temperature of 230°C. For the definitive determination of long chain branched polypropylene (LCB-PP) served the extensional rheology measurements. The mechanical properties were examined via tensile test and impact tensile test. Summarized, LCB (melt strength) could be observed via extensional rheology for all modified specimens and the mechanical properties were maintained or even improved for the modified samples. Particularly, samples containing dilauroyl peroxide display excellent mechanical properties in this study.
