Thermally stable materials can be achieved by crosslinking. This article presents the thermal aging and thermal energy storage properties of ethylene–octene copolymer (EOR) and low‐density polyethylene (LDPE) blends as affected by silane crosslinking. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy revealed a similar degree of silane grafting among the various blend compositions. However, the highest crosslink content was observed in EOR, whereas the lowest was found for LDPE. From melting temperature and heat of fusion data, a linear relationship between the amount of the crystalline component and the crosslink content was found. The decrease in crystallinity due to crosslinking was very limited, which implied a high thermal energy storage capacity of the silane‐crosslinked products and their good mechanical properties at room temperature. Furthermore, a strong ability to retain the properties after thermal aging indicated good thermal stability of the materials. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci, 2008 相似文献

The development of structure and viscoelastic properties during silane crosslink reaction in metallocene ethylene–octene copolymer has been investigated. Using attenuated and transmission infrared spectroscopy, the concentrations of certain functional groups and change in sample thickness were monitored, giving the information on the progress of crosslink reaction. The evolution of crosslink content and viscoelastic properties was analyzed using a parallel‐plate rheometer. The results showed that crosslinking process started with the hydrolyzation of methoxy groups in the near‐surface layer, proceeding in a diffusion manner. At this stage no silanol groups could be detected, revealing that the condensation occurred promptly after hydrolyzation. The internal crosslink could not begin until there are sufficient water molecules in the surrounding. A water by‐product from the condensation reaction played an essential part in the center region. The rheological data showed a reduction in magnitude of creep compliance. As the reaction proceeded, more networks took place within an existing gel. The materials, then, acted more like elastic and exhibited an improvement in ability for recovery process. The immobilization of chain segments, due to the presence of tight network, disallowed conformations necessary for crosslink reaction and a certain amount of hydrolyzable groups and silanol groups remained after a long crosslinking process. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Impact‐resistance polypropylene copolymer (IPC) has been well known as commercial heterophasic polymer in which ethylene–propylene random copolymer (EPR) domain is dispersed in the homo‐polypropylene matrix. The phase‐separation of those phases is one of the keys to control the polymer properties. However, especially in the solution, there is rarely report that addresses to the phase‐separation of the IPC due to the difficulties in the investigation; i.e., (i) the proximity of the refractive indices of those phases and (ii) the small size of the EPR droplet. Here, the phase‐separation of the commercial IPC in xylene is traced by the in situ small angle X‐ray scattering which the phase‐separation temperature is clearly revealed. The results also show that the evolution of the EPR domain is strongly depended on the polymer composition. Moreover, the migrations of the copolymers are evidenced, and this could be a model for other heterophasic systems. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym. Sci. 2017 , 134, 45069. 相似文献

Using linear low‐density polyethylene (LLDPE)/ethylene–octene copolymer (POE) as a polymer matrix and carbonyl iron powders (CIPs) as filler, we prepared polymer matrix composites with microwave‐absorbing properties by means of melt blending. Scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy were used to characterize the samples. The absorbing properties of the composites were measured with the arch method in the range of frequency 2.0–18.0 GHz. The results indicate that the absorbing peaks moved to low frequency as the CIP content in composites increased and that there was an appropriate CIP content in LLDPE/POE/CIP composites to achieve the best absorbing effectiveness. The electromagnetic parameters of the composites were determined with the transmission/reflection method in the range 2.6–17.8 GHz. The experimental results show that there were both dielectric loss and magnetic loss in the LLDPE/POE/CIP composites. Therefore, the microwave absorption of the LLDPE/POE/CIP composites was attributed to the combining contributions of the dielectric loss and magnetic loss. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Characterization of molecular structure and orientation of six commercially available gel‐spun polyethylene fibers have been carried out using infra‐red and Raman spectroscopy, thermal and X‐ray diffraction analysis, together with optical microscopy techniques. Thermal and X‐ray diffraction analysis revealed the existence of highly oriented orthorhombic and monoclinic crystallites together with a highly oriented intermediate phase known as pseudohexagonal mesophase structure. The results suggest the existence of a three‐phase structure consisting, at room temperature, of orthorhombic and monoclinic polymorphic crystallites, oriented noncrystalline and un‐oriented noncrystalline (amorphous) phases, respectively. The crystallinity measurements have been carried out using density, thermal and X‐ray diffraction analysis together with infra‐red and Raman spectroscopy techniques whereas the molecular orientation measurements have been carried out using birefringence and polarized IR spectroscopy, respectively. The results obtained from density, thermal analysis, and Raman spectroscopy based on a simple two‐phase modeling approach lead to the overestimated amorphous fractions and appears to ignore the presence of an intermediate phase known as oriented noncrystalline structure. X‐ray analysis has also been used for the measurement of the apparent crystallite sizes. The birefringence values have been used to determine the overall orientation parameters whereas the dichroic measurements of IR bands have been used to determine the crystalline and oriented noncrystalline orientation parameters. The results show that the orthorhombic and monoclinic phases are more highly oriented than the oriented pseudohexagonally packed noncrystalline chains. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

A rapid, dual‐stabilization route for the production of carbon fibers from polyacrylonitrile (PAN) precursor fibers is reported. A photoinitiator, 4,4′‐bis(diethylamino)benzophenone, was added to PAN solution before the fiber wet‐spinning step. After a short UV treatment that induced cyclization and crosslinking at a lower temperature, precursor fibers could be rapidly thermo‐oxidatively stabilized and successfully carbonized. Scanning electron microscopy micrographs show no deterioration of the microstructure or hollow‐core formation in the fibers due to UV treatment or presence of photoinitiator. Fast‐thermally stabilized pure PAN‐based carbon fibers show hollow‐core fiber defects due to inadequate thermal stabilization, but such defects were not observed in carbon fibers derived from fast‐thermally stabilized fibers that contained photoinitiator and were UV treated. Tensile testing results confirm that fibers containing 1 wt % photoinitiator and UV treated for 5 min display higher tensile modulus than all other sets of thermally stabilized and carbonized fibers. Wide‐angle X‐ray diffraction results show a higher development of the aromatic structure and molecular orientation in thermally stabilized fibers. No significant increase in interplanar spacing or decrease in crystals size were observed within the UV‐stabilized carbon fibers containing photoinitiator, but such fibers retain a higher extent of molecular orientation when compared with control fibers. These results establish for the first time, the positive effect of the external addition of photoinitiator and UV treatment on the properties of the PAN‐based fibers, and may be used to reduce the precursor stabilization time for faster carbon fiber production rate. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Alkali treatment can change the structures and properties of cellulosic fibers. The aim of this work was to study the mechanism of structural changes of Newcell fibers treated with different alkali concentrations and two treatment methods. Raman spectra showed that the molecular conformation of Newcell fibers remained unchanged. X‐ray diffraction indicated that the crystal structure of Newcell cellulose II, treated with different alkali concentrations and different methods, did not change. With the increase of alkali concentration the crystallinty and crystallinity orientation index of Newcell fibers in their original length decreased slightly, whereas those of fibers in relaxed condition substantially decreased, and the crystallite size of 101¯ and 002 increased in both methods. The quasi‐crystallite disassociation and recrystallization in the quasi‐crystalline phase, during the process of alkali treatment, led to changes of crystallinity and orientation index of Newcell fibers. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The crosslinking of metallocene ethylene–octene copolymer was investigated. The crosslinked polymers were prepared using two different techniques, i.e., peroxide crosslinking and silane–water crosslinking. In the former, the crosslinking reaction was conducted in a twin‐screw extruder, in the presence of dicumylperoxide. In the latter, the polymer was first grafted with vinyl trimethoxysilane in the extruder and subsequently crosslinked with water. The paper aims at investigation of the differences between these two techniques, in terms of processing and product mechanical and thermal properties. The results showed that the silane‐crosslinked polymers could be prepared with much higher gel contents than the peroxide‐crosslinked samples. The silane‐crosslinked polymers also retained the elastomeric characteristics of the pure polymer and showed remarkably higher extensibility, better thermal stability, and energy storage capacity. An explanation for the property differences between peroxide‐crosslinked and silane‐crosslinked polymers was proposed. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 93: 1179–1185, 2004 相似文献

Poly(ethylene‐co‐octene) (PEOc) has been shown to provide a high toughening contribution to isotactic polypropylene (iPP). The theoretical modeling of flow‐induced crystallization (FIC) of blends of iPP and PEOc is not much reported in the literature. The aim of the present work is to clarify the FIC of iPP upon addition of PEOc in terms of theoretical modeling. The crystallization of iPP and PEOc blends in flow is simulated by a modified FIC model based on the conformation tensor theory. Two kinds of flow fields, shear flow and elongational flow, are considered in the prediction to analyze the influence of flow field on the crystallization kinetics of the polymer. The simulation results show that the elongation flow is much more effective than shear flow in reducing the dimensionless induction time of polymer crystallization. In addition, the induction time of crystallization in the blends is sensitive to the change of shear rate. In comparison with experimental data, the modified model shows its validity for the prediction of the induction time of crystallization of iPP in the blends. Moreover, the simulated relaxation time for the blends becomes longer with increasing percentage of PEOc in the blends. Copyright © 2012 Society of Chemical Industry 相似文献

Nanocomposites of natural rubber (NR) and unmodified clay were prepared by latex compounding method. Phenolic resin (PhOH) was used to crosslink NR. Crosslinked neat NR was also prepared for comparison. The structure–property relationship of uncrosslinked and crosslinked NR/clay nanocomposites was examined to verify the reinforcement mechanism. Microstructure of NR/clay nanocomposites was studied by using transmission electron microscopic (TEM), X‐ray diffraction (XRD), wide angle X‐ray diffraction (WAXD), and small angle X‐ray scattering (SAXS) analyses. The results showed the evidence of intercalated clay together with clay tactoids for the nanocomposite samples. The highest tensile strength was achieved for the crosslinked NR/clay nanocomposite. The onset strain of deformation induced the crystallization of NR for nanocomposites was found at almost the same strain, and furthermore their crystallization was developed at lower strain than that of the crosslinked neat NR because of the clay orientation and alignment. However, at high strain region, the collaborative crystallization process related to the clay dispersion and conventional crosslink points in the NR was responsible to considerably high tensile strength of the crosslinked NR/clay nanocomposite. Based on these analyses, a mechanistic model for the strain‐induced crystallization and orientational evolution of a network structure of PhOH‐crosslinked NR/clay nanocomposite was proposed. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The role of dilute concentrations (~1 wt %) of a photoinitiator, 4,4 ′ ‐bis(diethylamino)benzophenone, on the processability and properties of the resulting wet‐spun polyacrylonitrile (PAN) fibers are reported. Rheology measurements show no adverse effect on the viscosities of solutions by the addition of the photoinitiator. Fibers containing photoinitiator were successfully wet‐spun from PAN – DMSO solution. FTIR results prove that 4,4 ′ ‐bis(diethylamino)benzophenone was retained in the fibers after coagulation and post‐stretching. SEM micrographs show no deterioration of the post‐stretched fiber microstructure due to the presence of photoinitiator. Tensile testing results show a small reduction in the strain‐at‐break of post‐stretched fibers containing photoinitiator when compared with pure (control) PAN fibers. After UV treatment, fibers with 4,4 ′ ‐bis(diethylamino)benzophenone display a higher tensile modulus compared with the other sets. Wide‐angle X‐ray diffraction results show no significant decrease in interplanar spacing and size of the crystals within the fibers containing photoinitiator, but such fibers retain a higher extent of molecular orientation after being UV treated. Conversion indices were measured from the WAXD spectra and compared with conventional thermal stabilized fibers. This correlation confirms that the addition of 1 wt % photoinitiator to PAN followed by 5 min of UV treatment leads to a conversion index that is observed in control fibers after more than an hour, which could reduce the conventional thermo‐oxidative stabilization time significantly. These results indicate the potential of the dual stabilization route in generating precursor fibers with higher molecular orientation, and possibly reducing the thermo‐oxidation time during carbon fiber processing. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Nanocomposites of natural rubber (NR) and pristine clay (clay) were prepared by latex mixing, then crosslinked with phenolic resin (PhOH). For comparative study, the PhOH‐crosslinked neat NR was also prepared. Influence of clay loading (i.e., 1, 3, 5, and 10 phr) on mechanical properties and structural change of PhOH‐crosslinked NR/clay nanocomposites was studied through X‐ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopic (TEM), wide‐angle X‐ray diffraction (WAXD), tensile property measurement, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). XRD and TEM showed that the clay was partly intercalated and aggregated, and that the dispersion state of clay was non‐uniform at higher clay loading (>5 phr). From tensile test measurement, it was found that the pronounced upturn of tensile stress was observed when the clay loading was increased and a maximum tensile strength of the PhOH‐crosslinked NR/clay nanocomposites was obtained at 5 phr clay. WAXD observations showed that an increased addition of clay induced more orientation and alignment of NR chains, thereby lowering onset strain of strain‐induced crystallization and promoting crystallinity of the NR matrix during tensile deformation. FTIR investigation indicated a strong interfacial adhesion between NR matrix and clay filler through a phenolic resin bridge. This suggested that the PhOH did not only act as curative agent for crosslinking of NR, but it also worked as coupling agent for promoting interfacial reaction between NR and clay. The presence of strong interfacial adhesion was found to play an important role in the crystallization process, leading to promotion of mechanical properties of the PhOH‐crosslinked NR/clay nanocomposites. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

A basic study on crystal structure and orientation behavior of transversely compressed ethylene‐1‐octene copolymer with different 1‐octene contents was described. All polymers were first melt spun under different spinline stress and subsequently transversely compressed. For the melt‐spun filaments, an orthorhombic crystal structure was found for all polymers, but a pseudo‐hexagonal mesophase was also found for polymers with the highest 1‐octene level (13.3 mol%). For the transversely compressed filaments, several reflection peaks from a monoclinic unit cell were found for polyethylene without octene. For those with higher octene levels, the reflection peaks from monoclinic became fainter and disappeared for the one with the highest 1‐octene level. After being transversely compressed, the (110) and (200) peaks of orthorhombic crystal structures became oriented along the meridian direction, which is the fiber axis direction. The reason for this appears to be that the compression deformation of the filament induces elongation along its width direction and shrinkage along its length and thickness direction, and in this change the polymer chain orients.

On purpose to examine the effect of branch length on the miscibility of polyolefin blends, miscibility behavior of linear polyethylene/poly(ethylene‐co‐1‐octene) blend was studied and compared to that of linear polyethylene/poly(ethylene‐co‐1‐butene) blend. Miscibility of the blend was determined by observing the morphology quenched from the melt, and by using the relation between interaction parameter and copolymer composition. When the weight composition and molecular weight was the same, poly(ethylene‐co‐1‐octene) was slightly more miscible with linear polyethylene than poly(ethylene‐co‐1‐butene) was. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The conductive blend consisting of ethylene‐vinyl acetate (EVA) and a polyaniline/p‐toluene sulfonic acid (PAn/TSA) complex were prepared by a thermal doping process using a Brabender plasticorder at 150°C. The conductivity, dielectric constant, dissipation factor, mechanical behavior, and structural aspects of these blends were investigated. A higher percentage of the PAn/TSA complex in the EVA matrix resulted in an increase in the electrical properties and a decrease in the mechanical properties like the tensile strength and percentage of elongation. These results were compared with the microcrystalline parameters of the blend obtained from X‐ray profile analysis. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 83: 1730–1735, 2002 相似文献

The deformation process of a semi‐crystalline ethylene–(vinyl alcohol) copolymer (with a vinyl alcohol content of 68 mol%) has been evaluated using simultaneously real‐time synchrotron X‐ray diffraction and stress‐strain experiments at 150 °C. Small changes are observed during the initial elastic region in monoclinic crystallites. However, significant modifications are found along the development of a neck in the yielding region. These involve the disappearance of the monoclinic crystals and the appearance of a strain‐induced phase of mesomorphic ordering that is rapidly oriented. This alignment is further slightly enhanced during the propagation of deformation through the specimen, leading to a final orientation function of around 0.92.

The aim of this investigation is to evaluate the effect of hot air aging on properties of ethylene‐vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA, 14 wt % vinyl acetate units), ethylene‐acrylic acid copolymer (EAA, 8 wt % acrylic acid units), and their blends. Attenuated total reflection‐Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimeter (DSC), wide angle X‐ray diffraction, and mechanical tests are employed to investigate the changes of copolymer blends' structures and properties. Increase of carbonyl index derived from ATR measurements with aging time suggests the incorporation of oxygen into the polymeric chain. By DSC measurements, the enthalpy at low temperature endothermic peak (Tm2) of EAA becomes less and disappears after 8 weeks aging, but enthalpy at Tm2 of EVA is not influenced by the hot air aging and remains stable despite of the aging time. For various proportions of EAA and EVA blends, enthalpy at Tm2 decreases as the EAA proportion increases when aging time is 8 weeks; after several weeks of hot air aging, the various blends appear a same new peak just over the aging temperature 70°C which is due to the completion of crystals which are not of thermodynamic equilibrium state. Mechanical tests show that increase of crystallinity and hot air aging deterioration both have influence on the hardness, tensile strength, and elongation at break. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The structural evolution of virgin and crosslinked polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) during stretching was studied by in situ synchrotron small‐angle X‐ray scattering (SAXS). Both yield and tensile stress of crosslinked PTFE increased with increasing crosslinking density. During stretching, for virgin PTFE, amorphous chains gradually turned to tensile direction at early stage, perpendicularly arranged lamellar stacks appeared at high strains (>140%). While for crosslinked PTFE, lamellar structure was observed even at lower strains; with increasing irradiation dose, the lamellar structure became obvious and the long period decreased. Four‐point SAXS patterns were observed only in 3000kGy‐dosed PTFE during deformation, which indicated that an alternately tilted lamella arrangement called herringbone structure was formed. Radiation dose induces crosslinked networks formed, which can carry part of local stress during deformation, resulting in the increase of yield and tensile stress. Crosslinking density is an important factor on structural evolution. In addition, a deformation mechanism of different crosslinked PTFE is proposed. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym.

Poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) melt‐spun fibers with circular cross‐section and uniform structure, which could support high stretching, were prepared by using water as plasticizer. The effects of water content on drawability, crystallization structure, and mechanical properties of the fibers were studied. The results showed that the maximum draw ratio of PVA fibers decreased with the increase of water content due to the intensive evaporation of excessive water in PVA fibers at high drawing temperature. Hot drying could remove partially the water content in PVA as‐spun fibers, thus reducing the defects caused by the rapid evaporation of water and enhancing the drawability of PVA fibers at high drawing temperature. The decreased water content also improved the orientation and crystallization structure of PVA, thus producing a corresponding enhancement in the mechanical properties of the fibers. When PVA as‐spun fibers with 5 wt % water were drawn at 180 °C, the maximum draw ratio of 11 was obtained and the corresponding tensile strength and modulus reached ~0.9 GPa and 24 GPa, respectively. Further drawing these fibers at 215 °C and thermal treating them at 220 °C for 1.5 min, drawing ratio of 16 times, tensile strength of 1.9 GPa, and modulus of 39.5 GPa were achieved. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The melt fusion zone (MFZ) of polyethylene pipe was investigated employing synchrotron wide‐ and small‐angle X‐ray scattering at various locations in MFZ by changing X‐ray incidence angles to probe three‐dimensional structural features. It was determined that the crystals were oriented in two different modes. One is that the polymer chains are oriented parallel to the joint interface line consistently throughout the MFZ. The other is that the crystals are oriented in particular directions depending on the positions in MFZ. The combination of pressure and melt flow during joining process resulted in such a complex structure. It was notable that the boundary of MFZ against the base material was found to be very different depending on the structures involved such as crystallographic unit orientation, lamellae orientation, crystallinity, and spherulitic morphology. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
