We have devised and developed a new method for the preparation of a poly(phenylene sulfide)/poly(phenylene ether) (PPS/PPE) alloy, which has micro‐dispersed PPE in the PPS matrix. PPS was chemically treated to activate the reactivity of the PPS end‐group by extrusion in the presence of diphenylmethane diisocyanate (MDI) in its molten state at 300°C. The reactive processing of the MDI‐treated PPS with maleic anhydride‐modified PPE gave a PPS/PPE alloy with micro‐dispersed PPE in the PPS matrix. The PPS/PPE alloy showed mechanical properties superior to those of PPS at elevated temperature (150°C) and also showed precision‐molding ability superior to that of PPS. 相似文献
This article reports the synthesis and free radical polymerization of ortho-vinylbenzophenone. The glass transition temperature Tg of the homopolymer is 136°C. The products synthesized appeared to be atactic and amorphous. The Mark-Houwink constants for poly (o-vinylbenzophenone) in tetrahydrofuran are K = 4.2 × 10?2 cm3 g?1 and a = 0.765. The pre-exponential constant under theta conditions, Kθ, is estimated to be 5.93 × 10?2 cm3 g?1. The ratio of unperturbed dimensions of the actual polymer and free rotating analogue chain is 3.93, which is almost double that of polystyrene. The Flory-Huggins interaction parameter for poly is 0.48 at room temperature. The ratio at 60°C is . In free radical copolymerizations with styrene at 70°C, r1 (o-vinylbenzophenone) = 1.216, r2 = 0.751. This copolymerizations is virtually random. 相似文献
Summary The synthesis of poly(alkynylstannanes) was achieved by the step-growth polymerization of bisaminostannanes and ,-diynes. This is a new class of organotin polymers containing tin-alkyne linkages in the polymer backbone. The polymers were obtained in good yield, albeit with relatively low molecular weight. The polymers underwent crosslinking on standing to give insoluble material and required stabilization with radical inhibitors. The thermal properties of these materials, and the influence of the group pendent to tin are discussed. 相似文献
Summary: Blends of PEI and PPSU were prepared directly during the plasticization step of an injection molding process throughout the full composition range. The molded blends were transparent and showed a single glass transition and no dispersed phase by SEM. These characteristics did not allow the presence of a single miscibilized phase to be inferred unambiguously due to the very similar Tgs and refractive indices of the two components of the blends. Miscibility was inferred after close observation of the position, height and area of the enthalpy relaxation peak of the 50/50 blend. The modulus of elasticity and yield stress changed linearly with composition, leading to polymer materials with intermediate characteristics. The linearity was attributed to the lack of decrease in free volume induced by mixing and to the similar orientation of the components before and after mixing. The PPSU presence only slightly reduced the known tendency towards brittle fracture of PEI under notched impact conditions, but the presence of a single amorphous phase led to an expected ductile behavior of the blends close to that predicted by the single rule of mixtures.

Summary
A quaternary blend system composed of three low-Tg semi-crystalline aryl-polyesters namely, [poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET), poly(trimethylene terephthalate) (PTT), and
poli(butylene terephthalate) (PBT)] and an amorphous high-Tg poly(ether imide) (PEI) was prepared and investigated using thermal and morphology characterization techniques. This study,
for the first time, demonstrated miscibility and phase behavior of a quaternary blend comprising four different polymers.
A single and composition-dependent Tg was found for each of all quaternary blend samples. In addition, various thermal transition characteristics, single and composition-dependent
Tc,c, increasingly suppressed ΔHc,c at higher PEI contents, are also indication of phase miscibility of the quaternary blend. SEM morphology characterization
(3000X) revealed no discernible domains and homogeneous phase morphology in the quaternary blends was also substantiated using
optical and scanning electron microscopy results.
