微型注塑条件下PLA/PEG共混物体系增强增韧机理的研究

详细探究了聚乳酸(PLA)/聚乙二醇(PEG)共混体系在微型注塑加工条件下,不同的加工参数和柔性分子PEG对聚乳酸结晶行为和力学性能的影响。通过理论模拟数据表明微型注塑加工条件下具有较短的填充时间(0.6 s),较高的冷却速率和较大的温度梯度。热台偏光显微镜(POM)和差示扫描量热(DSC)分析的数据表明,PEG引入PLA体系能够促进PLA分子链的运动,成核点的形成,结晶速率的增加以及结晶度的提高。相对于迷你注塑成型,微型注塑加工的应用和模具温度的降低(110～80℃)能够显著增加制品内部分子链的取向程度;并且与PEG的相互协同作用,能够显著提高微型PLA/PEG制品的拉伸强度(53.3 MPa)和断裂伸长率(36.4%),起到增强增韧的作用。

制备了聚甲醛/二硫化钼(POM/Mo S_2)复合材料并对其进行微型注塑,考察了POM/Mo S_2微型制品的微观形貌,同时研究了注射条件对其取向和结晶行为的影响。扫描电子显微镜(SEM)和偏光显微镜(PLM)分析结果表明:POM/Mo S_2微型制品具有典型的皮芯结构,其中Mo S_2片状粒子在剪切层沿流动方向取向排列,而在芯层则呈无规排列。二维广角X射线衍射分析(2D-WAXD)和差示扫描量热分析(DSC)的结果表明:微型注塑的模具温度和注射速率对微型制品的取向和结晶行为都有较大的影响。随着模具温度的提升,相应微型注塑制品的取向程度呈下降趋势,但POM的熔点和结晶度提高;随着注射速率的提高,相应微型制品的取向程度及POM的结晶度均呈上升趋势,但POM的熔点变化不明显。     

聚乳酸/聚癸二酸丙三醇酯共混物的形态及结晶性能

用SEM、DSC、光学解偏振光、POM及WAXD研究聚乳酸/聚癸二酸丙三醇酯(PLA/PGS)共混物的形态和等温结晶性能.结果表明:PLA与PGS发生了相分离,PLA分子链之间存在部分PGS.当<110℃等温结晶时PLA/PGS共混物的半结晶时间(t1/2)随PGS含量的增加而降低,其晶体尺寸较纯PLA大;当≥110℃等温结晶时,PLA/PGS共混物的t1/2随PGS含量的增加而变大,共混物的晶体尺寸明显增大,形成球晶.但当PGS的含量为20%并于120℃等温结晶时,晶体产生暗斑.PLA及PLA/PGS共混物的晶形都为α形.     

PLA/PEO共混物的结晶行为研究

共沉积技术制备了聚乳酸(PLA)/聚氧化乙烯(PEO)共混物,通过DMA和相差显微镜考察了共混物的相行为。用DSC研究了PLA/PEO共混物的结晶形貌及其动力学,由于部分相容的熔融态PEO提高了PLA分子链的运动能力,导致显著促进了PLA的结晶速率;结合偏光显微镜(POM)观察分析,结晶速率的提高源于结晶生长速率的促进,而且在低的结晶温度时的结晶速率的增加更为明显。     

不同PEG含量对PLA/PEG共混物结晶动力学的影响

采用溶液共混法制备了一系列不同配比的聚乳酸(PLA)/聚乙二醇(PEG)共混物。通过偏光显微镜(POM)、扫描电镜(SEM)和差式扫描量热仪(DSC)研究了不同PEG含量的PLA/PEG共混物在不同结晶温度下,聚乳酸的晶体形貌、球晶生长速率及热力学性能。研究发现,PEG能够显著提高聚乳酸球晶的生长速率。当PEG含量为60%时,PLA/PEG共混物中聚乳酸球晶的生长速率最快,达到23.6μm/min,比纯聚乳酸的最快球晶生长速率(0.5μm/min)高47倍。但是,当PEG含量高于60%时,聚乳酸球晶的生长速率有所降低。同时,PLA/PEG共混物中聚乳酸球晶速率随结晶温度变化的取向,均向低温移动。另外,PLA/PEG共混物中聚乳酸球晶呈现环状花纹。DSC测试结果表明,随着PEG含量的增加,PLA/PEG共混物的玻璃化转变温度明显降低。

金属粉末注射成型用催化脱脂黏结剂 POM/PP 共混物非等温结晶动力学研究

利用聚甲醛(POM)在酸性气氛下发生快速降解、聚丙烯(PP)耐腐蚀性优良的特点,采用POM/PP共混物作为金属粉末注射成型用催化脱脂黏结剂的主要组分。通过差示扫描量热法研究了POM和POM/PP共混物的非等温结晶过程及不同冷却速率对POM/PP(90/10)共混物结晶行为的影响。分别采用Jeziorny法、Ozawa法和Mo法进行处理。结果表明,随着冷却速率的增大,POM及其共混物的结晶峰变宽,结晶峰值温度(T_c)逐渐降低;在相同冷却速率下,共混物的T_c较纯POM有所降低;Jeziorny法和Mo法处理非等温结晶过程比较理想,而由于次级结晶的存在Ozawa法并不适用;Jeziorny法和Mo法处理所得的数据表明,PP的加入能够降低POM的结晶速率,延长半结晶时间(t_(1/2)),并导致POM的结晶成核和生长发生了改变,减缓POM的结晶。     

多元环氧扩链剂对聚乳酸等温结晶行为及力学性能的影响

采用多元环氧扩链剂(ADR)对聚乳酸(PLA)进行熔融扩链改性,得到PLA/ADR共混物。采用差示扫描量热仪(DSC)对共混物的熔体等温结晶行为进行表征和分析。结果表明:在110~120℃温度范围内,ADR的加入提高了PLA熔体的结晶速率;随着ADR用量的增加,PLA等温结晶速率明显提高,半结晶时间缩短。结合熔体流动速率和偏光显微镜分析,从分子运动能力和熔体黏度的角度解释了ADR对PLA等温结晶行为的影响机理。此外,研究了结晶度变化对PLA/ADR共混物拉伸性能和维卡软化温度(VST)的影响。当PLA/ADR(100/1.0)共混物的结晶度由1.7%提高到32.2%时,其拉伸强度由55.6 MPa提高到63.2 MPa,VST由61.9℃提高到156.9℃。结晶度的增大有利于PLA/ADR共混物力学性能和耐热性能的进一步提高。

POM /TPU共混物非等温结晶动力学研究

采用差示扫描量热法(DSC}研究了不同冷却速率下聚甲醛( POM)以及POM/热塑性聚氨酷弹性体(TPU)共混物的非等温结晶过程,分别采用Jeziorny法、Ozawa法和Mo法进行处理。结果表明:随着冷却速率的增大,POM及其共混物的结晶峰都变宽,结晶峰值温度(Tc)都降低;在相同冷却速率下,POM /TPU共混物的Tc。较纯POM有所提高;Jeziorny法和Mo法处理非等温结晶过程比较理想,而由于次级结晶的存在Ozawa法并不适用;Jeziorny法和Mo法处理所得的数据表明,TPU的加人能够提高POM的结晶速率,减小半结晶时间(t1/2),并且导致POM的结晶成核和生长发生了改变。

Direct observation of freeze-thaw instability of latex coatings via high pressure freezing and cryogenic SEM

Despite its industrial importance, the subject of freeze-thaw (F/T) stability of latex coatings has not been studied extensively. There is also a lack of fundamental understanding about the process and the mechanisms through which a coating becomes destabilized. High pressure (2100 bar) freezing fixes the state of water-suspended particles of polymer binder and inorganic pigments without the growth of ice crystals during freezing that produce artifacts in direct imaging scanning electron microscopy (SEM) of fracture surfaces of frozen coatings. We show that by incorporating copolymerizable functional monomers, it is possible to achieve F/T stability in polymer latexes and in low-VOC paints, as judged by the microstructures revealed by the cryogenic SEM technique. Particle coalescence as well as pigment segregation in F/T unstable systems are visualized. In order to achieve F/T stability in paints, latex particles must not flocculate and should provide protection to inorganic pigment and extender particles. Because of the unique capabilities of the cryogenic SEM, we are able to separate the effects of freezing and thawing, and study the influence of the rate of freezing and thawing on F/T stability. Destabilization can be caused by either freezing or thawing. A slow freezing process is more detrimental to F/T stability than a fast freezing process; the latter actually preserves suspension stability during freezing.

Gordon Best Paper Competition.     

Ethanol and (−)-α-Pinene: Attractant Kairomones for Bark and Ambrosia Beetles in the Southeastern US

In 2002–2004, we examined the flight responses of 49 species of native and exotic bark and ambrosia beetles (Coleoptera: Scolytidae and Platypodidae) to traps baited with ethanol and/or (−)-α-pinene in the southeastern US. Eight field trials were conducted in mature pine stands in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, and South Carolina. Funnel traps baited with ethanol lures (release rate, about 0.6 g/day at 25–28°C) were attractive to ten species of ambrosia beetles (Ambrosiodmus tachygraphus, Anisandrus sayi, Dryoxylon onoharaensum, Monarthrum mali, Xyleborinus saxesenii, Xyleborus affinis, Xyleborus ferrugineus, Xylosandrus compactus, Xylosandrus crassiusculus, and Xylosandrus germanus) and two species of bark beetles (Cryptocarenus heveae and Hypothenemus sp.). Traps baited with (−)-α-pinene lures (release rate, 2–6 g/day at 25–28°C) were attractive to five bark beetle species (Dendroctonus terebrans, Hylastes porculus, Hylastes salebrosus, Hylastes tenuis, and Ips grandicollis) and one platypodid ambrosia beetle species (Myoplatypus flavicornis). Ethanol enhanced responses of some species (Xyleborus pubescens, H. porculus, H. salebrosus, H. tenuis, and Pityophthorus cariniceps) to traps baited with (−)-α-pinene in some locations. (−)-α-Pinene interrupted the response of some ambrosia beetle species to traps baited with ethanol, but only the response of D. onoharaensum was interrupted consistently at most locations. Of 23 species of ambrosia beetles captured in our field trials, nine were exotic and accounted for 70–97% of total catches of ambrosia beetles. Our results provide support for the continued use of separate traps baited with ethanol alone and ethanol with (−)-α-pinene to detect and monitor common bark and ambrosia beetles from the southeastern region of the US.     

Methyl 2,4,6-decatrienoates Attract Stink Bugs and Tachinid Parasitoids

Halyomorpha halys (Stål) (Pentatomidae), called the brown marmorated stink bug (BMSB), is a newly invasive species in the eastern USA that is rapidly spreading from the original point of establishment in Allentown, PA. In its native range, the BMSB is reportedly attracted to methyl (E,E,Z)-2,4,6-decatrienoate, the male-produced pheromone of another pentatomid common in eastern Asia, Plautia stali Scott. In North America, Thyanta spp. are the only pentatomids known to produce methyl 2,4,6-decatrienoate [the (E,Z,Z)-isomer] as part of their pheromones. Methyl 2,4,6-decatrienoates were field-tested in Maryland to monitor the spread of the BMSB and to explore the possibility that Thyanta spp. are an alternate host for parasitic tachinid flies that use stink bug pheromones as host-finding kairomones. Here we report the first captures of adult and nymph BMSBs in traps baited with methyl (E,E,Z)-2,4,6-decatrienoate in central Maryland and present data verifying that the tachinid, Euclytia flava (Townsend), exploits methyl (E,Z,Z)-2,4,6-decatrienoate as a kairomone. We also report the unexpected finding that various isomers of methyl 2,4,6-decatrienoate attract Acrosternum hilare (Say), although this bug apparently does not produce methyl decatrienoates. Other stink bugs and tachinids native to North America were also attracted to methyl 2,4,6-decatrienoates. These data indicate there are Heteroptera in North America in addition to Thyanta spp. that probably use methyl 2,4,6-decatrienoates as pheromones. The evidence that some pentatomids exploit the pheromones of other true bugs as kairomones to find food or to congregate as a passive defense against tachinid parasitism is discussed.
