聚丙烯／多壁碳纳米管复合材料的结晶行为

用溶液絮凝法制备了碳纳米管含量为0.5%～5%的聚丙烯(PP)/多壁碳纳米管(MWNT)复合材料。SEM研究表明MWNT在复合材料中呈纳米级分散。用DSC法研究了MWNT含量对PP非等温结晶性能的影响,发现MWNT作为PP的成核剂,使PP的结晶峰温向高温方向移动;由于MWNT对PP链段运动的阻碍作用,非等温结晶峰温并不随MWNT含量增加而增加;复合材料的结晶总速率均比纯PP大,但在碳纳米管含量0.5%～5%范围内随MWNT含量增加总速率反而降低;MWNT的加入对材料的结晶度影响不大,复合材料中PP的结晶晶型没有改变。当MWNT含量为0.5%时,观察到PP的球晶尺寸降低。

Effect of silane‐grafted polypropylene on the mechanical properties and crystallization behavior of talc/polypropylene composites

Talc‐filled polypropylene (PP) composites coupled with silane‐grafted polypropylene (PP‐g‐Si) were prepared. Effect of PP‐g‐Si on the mechanical properties, crystallization, and melting behavior of PP composites was investigated. Compared with the uncoupled composites, the mechanical properties of Talc/PP composites coupled with a small amount of PP‐g‐Si were increased to some extent. Meanwhile, PP‐g‐Si can promote crystallization rate and increase crystallization temperature of PP in the composites. © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 77: 2974–2977, 2000     

Crystallization behavior of polypropylene in polypropylene/nylon 6 blend

This article describes the crystallization behavior of polypropylene (PP) in the presence of a crystallizable polymer, namely, nylon 6, in the binary blend of PP/nylon 6 in the composition range from 0 to 30 wt % of nylon 6 content in the blend. The crystallization behavior was studied through variation of the crystallinity with the blend composition and changes in the crystallization exotherms were recorded by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and the spherulite morphology was observed via polarized light microscopy (PLM). Comparison of the crystallization exotherms and melting endotherms revealed some differences which are attributed to the role of a sufficiently high thermal energy of the nylon 6 crystals on the melting of PP. The crystallinity of PP decreased in the presence of nylon 6, whereas the crystallinity of nylon 6 increased considerably in the presence of PP. The rate of nucleation of PP on addition of nylon 6 decreased rapidly in the region 0–10 wt % nylon 6 content, and, thereafter, at a higher nylon 6 content, decrease of the nucleation rate was relatively slow. PLM observation revealed the presence of composite spherulites with PP spherulites grown on the surface of the already‐formed nylon 6 spherulites. © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Crystallization behaviors and mechanical performance of polypropylene/tetrapod‐shaped zinc oxide whisker composites

Polypropylene (PP)/tetrapod‐shaped zinc oxide whisker (T‐ZnOw) composites are prepared via a melt‐mixing method in combination with a Haake rheometer. Differential scanning calorimetery (DSC) is used to investigate the nonisothermal and isothermal crystallization behaviors of the composites. Crystalline morphology is observed using hot‐stage optical microscopy, and the mechanical performance of the composites is investigated. Results indicate that T‐ZnOw has no heterogeneous nucleation effect on PP; in fact, it retards the growth of the crystal. Filled T‐ZnOw in PP matrix decreases the peak crystallization and melting temperatures of PP. T‐ZnOw shows either a reinforcing or toughening effect on the PP matrix at very lower weight ratios. These effects, however, decline with increasing T‐ZnOw contents because the size of the spherulitic crystals becomes bigger. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci, 2012     

Crystallization behaviors in the isotactic polypropylene/graphene composites

Crystallization behaviors and kinetics of iPP in an in-situ prepared isotactic polypropylene/graphene (iPP/G) composites were studied in this paper. In samples used in this study, the graphene fillers were well dispersed, and the interfacial adhesion exhibited enhanced features between graphene and iPP components. The thermal stability of the composites was improved by about 100 °C compared to the pristine iPP. It was found that the crystallization morphology, crystallization rate and kinetics of the iPP/G composites were significantly influenced by the presence of graphene. The nucleation and epitaxial growth of iPP on the graphene surface were observed and studied in detail. It was observed that the nucleation of iPP favored to occur at the wrinkles and edges due to the good match of the lattice parameters and the weak spatial hindrance compared to the smooth surface. Numerous nuclei epitaxially formed and the size of the crystals was very small. The schematic diagram was also proposed for the nucleation and growth process of iPP on the graphene surface in the iPP/G composites. Meanwhile, the overall crystallization kinetics and crystals growth were analyzed through Avrami equation. The obtained Avrami index n decreased with the graphene loadings and was close to 2 for the iPP/G composites, which implied that the growth of iPP in the composites was in two-dimension. And this was caused by the structure of graphene and the spatial confinement effect of graphene platelets in the iPP/G composites.     

Crystallization behavior and mechanical properties of poly(ε‐caprolactone)/cyclodextrin biodegradable composites

The poly(ε‐caprolactone) (PCL)/α‐cyclodextrin (α‐CD) inclusion complex (PCLIC) was successfully prepared, and its effect on the thermal behavior and mechanical properties of PCL was thoroughly studied. It is shown that the addition of PCLIC greatly increased the crystallization rate and thermal stability of the PCL. The Young's modulus and yield strength of PCL/PCLIC composite are about 2 and 1.3 times of the pure PCL, and the elongation at break of the PCL/PCLIC composites kept above 350%, when the PCLIC composition is 15 wt %. It is shown that PCLIC is a good enforcing biofiller for the PCL. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci, 2009

Crystallization and melting of highly filled polypropylene composites prepared with surface‐treated fillers

Polypropylene (PP) composites with high filler content have been prepared with surface‐treated fillers. The effect of the filler is twofold; nucleation of crystallization occurs, though the PP is also adsorbed onto the filler thereby retarding its motion. Differential scanning calorimetry has been used to study the crystallization of the PP. Melting and recrystallization during melting has been characterized by differential scanning calorimetry. The properties of the composites are more than an additive combination of the filler and polymer. In the case of highly filled composites, the morphology of the PP is important in limiting brittleness and for the strength of the interface between filler and polymer. Surface treatment of the filler has been found to have a significant control over the morphology and properties of the composites. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Crystallization behavior of starch‐filled polypropylene

Starches of different granule sizes, including corn, rice, and amaranth starches, were used to prepare starch‐filled polypropylene (PP) and the effect of starch granule size on crystallization behavior PP was investigated. Differential scanning calorimetry and scanning electron microscopy were used to monitor the energy changes of the crystallization of the melt and to characterize the morphology of PP/starch composites, respectively. Little interaction was observed between starch and PP despite the difference in starch granule size. The crystallization temperature of PP decreased with the addition of starch and this decrease became more apparent with increasing starch granule size. During nonisothermal crystallization, the dependency of the relative degree of crystallinity on time was described by the Avrami equation. The addition of starch decreased the overall crystallization rate of PP, which was attributed to an increase in the activation energy of crystallization under nonisothermal conditions according to the Kissinger equation. An increase in starch granule size of starch would increase the crystallization activation energy of PP and consequently decrease its crystallization rate. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
