Addition of styrene (S)/4-hydroxystyrene (HS) block, blocky gradient, or blocky random copolymer to 80/20 wt% polystyrene (PS)/polycaprolactone (PCL) blends is examined as a compatibilization strategy. Four copolymers are synthesized by controlled radical polymerization, each with an S block and the other block being a HS block or S/HS random or gradient copolymer. Compatibilization depends on copolymer level and HS sequence distribution and content. Using a two-step solution-mixing/melt-mixing process, addition of 2 wt% and 5 wt% nearly symmetric S/HS diblock copolymer leads to compatibilization with average PCL domain diameters of 390-490 nm and 90-110 nm, respectively. In contrast, adding 0.25-0.75 wt% copolymer leads to microscale dispersed-phase domains and only reduced melt-state coarsening. Results with 2-5 wt% added copolymer indicate that a major reduction in interfacial tension is facilitated by hydrogen bonding of HS units and PCL carbonyl groups. Nanoscale confinement of normally semi-crystalline PCL within blends with 100 nm dispersed phases impedes PCL crystallizability, yielding liquid-state PCL domains at room temperature and demonstrating that properties of nanostructured blends and microstructured blends can differ greatly. Polystyrene/PCL blends are also made by one-step melt mixing with low mol% HS copolymers. Adding 5 wt% blocky gradient S/HS copolymer (86/14 mol% S/HS) leads to compatibilization with an average dispersed-phase diameter of 360-420 nm. In contrast, adding 5 wt% blocky random (87/13 mol% S/HS) or 5 wt% diblock (81/19 mol% S/HS) copolymer yields microscale dispersed-phase domains and only reduced coarsening. Crystallization in these blends is less hindered than in blends containing 2-5 wt% nearly symmetric S/HS diblock copolymer, indicating that both hydrogen bonding and confinement suppress PCL crystallization. 相似文献

In continuation of our goal to determine the ability of CO2 to plasticize acrylonitrile (AN) copolymers and facilitate melt processing at temperatures below the onset of thermal degradation, a systematic study has been performed to determine the influence of AN content on CO2 absorption and subsequent viscosity reduction. Our previous report focused on the absorption of CO2 in a relatively thermally stable 65 mol% AN copolymer. In this study, the ability for CO2 to absorb in AN copolymers containing 85-98 mol% acrylonitrile was determined, and subsequent viscosity and equivalent processing temperature reductions were evaluated. Eighty five and 90 mol% acrylonitrile/methyl acrylate (AN/MA) copolymers were found to absorb up to 5.6 and 3.0 wt% CO2, corresponding to reductions of Tg of 37 and 27 °C, and subsequent viscosity reductions of 61 and 56%, respectively. CO2 absorption in these copolymers was found to occur immediately, in contrast to the time dependent absorption observed in the 65 mol% copolymer. An Arrhenius scaling analysis was used to determine the equivalent reductions in processing temperature resulting from the viscosity reductions, and reductions of up to 25 and 9 °C were observed for the 85 and 90 mol% AN copolymers. Based on the specific conditions used for absorption, no significant CO2 uptake was observed for AN copolymers containing greater than 90 mol% acrylonitrile. Higher temperatures than those used here may be required to absorb CO2 into AN copolymers containing greater than 90 mol% AN. 相似文献

The glass transition temperatures (Tgs) of polystyrene (PS) and styrene/methyl methacrylate (S/MMA) random copolymer films are characterized by intrinsic fluorescence, i.e., monomer fluorescence from an excited-state phenyl ring and excimer fluorescence from an excited-state dimer of two phenyl rings. The Tg is determined from the intersection of the rubbery- and glassy-state temperature dependences of the integrated fluorescence intensity measured upon cooling from an equilibrated state. With PS, the effects of nanoconfinement on Tg and the transition strength agree with results from studies using probe fluorescence and ellipsometry. The Tg-nanoconfinement effect is “tuned” by copolymer composition. As S-content is reduced from 100 mol% to 22 mol%, the confinement effect changes from a reduction to an enhancement of Tg relative to bulk Tg. Intrinsic fluorescence is also a powerful tool for characterizing relaxation of residual stresses. Stresses induced by spin coating affect local conformations, which in turn affect excimer and monomer fluorescence and thereby integrated intensity. The heating protocol needed to achieve apparently equilibrated local conformations is determined by equivalence in the integrated intensities obtained upon heating and subsequent cooling. While partial stress relaxation occurs upon heating in the glassy state, full relaxation of local conformations requires that a film be heated above Tg for times that are long relative to the average cooperative segmental relaxation time. For example, in thin and ultrathin films, equilibration is achieved by heating slowly (∼1 K/min) to 15-20 K above Tg. Dilute solution fluorescence of PS and S/MMA copolymers is also characterized and compared to reports in the literature. 相似文献

Styrene/4-methylstyrene (S/MS) random and gradient copolymers were synthesized by nitroxide-mediated controlled radical polymerization (NM-CRP) and compared to random copolymers made by conventional free radical polymerization (ConvFRP). The gradient copolymers have molecular weight (MW) values approaching 85,000 g/mol, making these some of the higher MW gradient copolymers reported to date. Due to the proximity of the glass transition temperatures (Tg) of polystyrene (PS) and poly(4-methylstyrene) (PMS), there is no significant difference in Tg between the gradient and random copolymers, with both copolymer types yielding single Tgs that typically increase slightly with increasing MS content. While enthalpy relaxation studies demonstrate similarity in random copolymers made by NM-CRP and ConvFRP, they reveal significant differences between random and gradient copolymers. Gradient copolymers exhibit broad enthalpy recovery peaks, whereas random copolymers exhibit narrower enthalpy recovery peaks. The maxima in the enthalpy recovery peaks are at substantially lower temperature, as much as 17 °C, in the gradient copolymers as compared to random copolymers of equal overall composition. While random and gradient copolymers of a given overall composition exhibit similar enthalpy recovery values at a common physical aging time and quench depth relative to Tg, the major differences in the enthalpy recovery peaks indicate that differences in sequence distribution along the chain length can lead to unusual behavior in gradient copolymers relative to random copolymers. 相似文献

Free radical copolymerization of n-butyl acrylate and a sulfobetaine methacrylamide derivative provided high molecular weight zwitterionic copolymers containing 6-13 mol% betaine functionality, and the electrospinning of low Tg zwitterionomers was explored for the first time. Copolymerizations were performed in dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) rather than fluorinated solvents previously reported in the literature. Dynamic mechanical analysis of zwitterionomer films revealed biphasic morphology and featured a rubbery plateau and two distinct thermal transitions. Electrospinning from chloroform/ethanol (80/20 v/v) solutions at low concentrations between 2 and 7 wt% afforded nanoscale polymeric fibers with diameters near 100 nm. The presence of only 6 mol% zwitterion allowed the formation of low Tg, free-standing, non-woven mats, and we hypothesize that zwitterionic aggregation rather than chain entanglements facilitated electrospinning at these relatively low solution concentrations. To our knowledge, this is the first report of electrospun zwitterionic polymers and these non-woven membranes are expected to lead to new applications for sulfobetaine copolymers. 相似文献

We have used DSC, FTIR spectroscopy, and ac impedance techniques to investigate the interactions that occur within complexes of poly(vinylpyrrolidone-co-methyl methacrylate) (PVP-co-PMMA) and lithium perchlorate (LiClO4) as well as these systems' phase behavior and ionic conductivities. The presence of MMA moieties in the PVP-co-PMMA random copolymer has an inert diluent effect that reduces the degree of self-association of the PVP molecules and causes a negative deviation in the glass transition temperature (Tg). In the binary LiClO4/PVP blends, the presence of a small amount of LiClO4 reduces the strong dipole-dipole interactions within PVP and leads to a lower Tg. Further addition of LiClO4 increases Tg as a result of ion-dipole interactions between LiClO4 and PVP. In LiClO4/PVP-co-PMMA blend systems, for which the three individual systems—the PVP-co-PMMA copolymer and the LiClO4/PVP and LiClO4/PMMA blends—are miscible at all compositional ratios, a phase-separated loop exists at certain compositions due to a complicated series of interactions among the LiClO4, PVP and PMMA units. The PMMA-rich component in the PVP-co-PMMA copolymer tends to be excluded, and this phenomenon results in phase separation. At a LiClO4 content of 20 wt% salt, the maximum ionic conductivity occurred for a LiClO4/VP57 blend (i.e., 57 mol% VP units in the PVP-co-PMMA copolymer). 相似文献

Acrylonitrile (AN) copolymers (AN content greater than about 85 mol%) are traditionally solution processed to avoid a cyclization and crosslinking reaction that takes place at temperatures where melt processing would be feasible. It is well known that carbon dioxide (CO2) reduces the glass transition temperature (Tg) and consequently the viscosity of many glassy and some semi-crystalline thermoplastics. However, the ability of CO2 to act as a processing aid and permit processing of thermally unstable polymers at temperatures below the onset of thermal degradation has not been explored. This study concentrates on the ability to plasticize an AN copolymer with CO2, which may ultimately permit melt processing at reduced temperatures. To facilitate viscosity measurements and maximize the CO2 absorption, a relatively thermally stable, commercially produced AN copolymer containing 65 mol% AN was investigated in this research. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) indicated that CO2 significantly absorbs into and reduces the Tg of the AN copolymer. Pressurized capillary rheometry indicated that the magnitude of the viscosity reduction is dependent on the amount of absorbed CO2, which correlates directly to the Tg reduction of the plasticized material. Up to a 60% viscosity reduction was obtained over the range of shear rates tested for the plasticized copolymer containing up to 6.7 wt% CO2 (31 °C Tg reduction), corresponding to as much as a 30 °C equivalent reduction in processing temperature. A Williams-Landel-Ferry (WLF) analysis was used to estimate the viscosity reduction based on the Tg reduction (and corresponding amount of absorbed CO2) in the plasticized AN copolymer, and the predicted viscosity reduction based on using the universal constants was 34-85% higher than measured, depending on the amount of absorbed CO2. Van Krevelen's empirical solubility relationships were used to calculate the expected absorbance levels of CO2, and found to be highly dependent on the choice of constants within the statistical ranges of error of the Van Krevelen relationships. 相似文献

High molecular weight di- and triblock copolymers of poly(l-lactide), PLLA, (80 wt%) with a crystallizable flexible second component such as poly(ε-caprolactone), PCL, or poly(oxyethylene), PEO, (20 wt%) were obtained in nearly quantitative yields by ring opening of l-lactide initiated by PCL or PEO hydroxy terminated macromers. The copolymers were characterized by 1H NMR and FTIR spectroscopy and size exclusion chromatography and showed unimodal and narrow molecular weight distributions. X-ray diffraction measurements revealed high crystallinity (38-56%) of the PLLA blocks and gave no clear evidences of PCL or PEO crystallinity. DMTA and DSC techniques showed a melting behaviour of the copolymers (Tm=174-175 °C; ΔHm=19-37 J/g) quite similar to that of PLLA. PCL and PLLA segments are immiscible, while PLLA and PEO segments are partially miscible in the amorphous phase. Stress-strain measurements indicated a ductile behaviour of the copolymers, characterized by lower tensile moduli (225-961 Pa) and higher elongations at break (25-134%) with respect to PLLA. 相似文献

Achievement of quasi-nanostructured polymer blends by solid-state shear pulverization and compatibilization by gradient copolymer addition 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Nanoblends, in which dispersed-phase domains exhibit length scales of order 100 nm or less, are made using a continuous, industrially scalable, mechanical process called solid-state shear pulverization (SSSP). An 80/20 wt% polystyrene (PS)/poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) blend processed by SSSP and consolidated by platen pressing, without melt processing, exhibits a quasi-nanostructured morphology with many irregular, minor-phase domain sizes of ∼100 nm or less. After short-residence-time single-screw extrusion, the pulverized blend exhibits spherical dispersed-phase domains with a number-average diameter of 155 nm. Thus, SSSP followed by certain melt-processing operations can yield nanoblends. However, the pulverized blend exhibits significant coarsening of the dispersed-phase domains during long-term, high-temperature static annealing, indicating that SSSP followed by other melt processes may yield microstructured blends. In order to suppress coarsening, a styrene (S)/methyl methacrylate (MMA) gradient copolymer is synthesized by controlled radical polymerization. When 5 wt% S/MMA gradient copolymer is added to the PS/PMMA blend during SSSP, the resulting blend exhibits a nanostructure nearly identical to that of the blend without gradient copolymer, and coarsening is nearly totally suppressed during long-term, high-temperature static annealing. Thus, SSSP with gradient copolymer addition can yield compatibilized nanoblends. Morphologies obtained in the pulverized PS/PMMA nanoblend are compared with those in blends of PS/poly(n-butyl methacrylate) and PS/high-density polyethylene made using identical SSSP conditions, providing for commentary on the ability of SSSP to produce nanostructured blends as a function of blend components. 相似文献

The controlled synthesis of low-Tg poly(2-ethylhexyl acrylate) (P2EHA) and derived random, block and blocky gradient copolymers via atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) is described. After optimizing the reaction conditions for the homopolymerization of 2EHA via ATRP, the synthesis of a variety of copolymers with poly(t-butyl acrylate) (PtBuA) was investigated. First, AB-block copolymers were targeted, starting from P2EHA and PtBuA as macroinitiators. Second, random copolymers of tBuA and 2EHA with different monomer ratios were synthesized. Finally, the synthesis of “blocky” gradient copolymers via a one-pot procedure was investigated, starting with the homopolymerization of tBuA, followed by the addition of 2EHA. The hydrolysis of the PtBuA-segments to poly(acrylic acid) (PAA), which was carried out with methanesulfonic acid, resulted in block, blocky gradient and random copolymers consisting of PAA and P2EHA. Solubility testing of the copolymers in slightly basic water (pH ∼ 9) demonstrated that the gradient structure significantly enhances solubility compared to the block copolymer structures with equal composition. The polymers have been characterized by MALDI-TOF MS, GPC and 1H NMR. 相似文献

The ionic conductivity and phase arrangement of solid polymeric electrolytes based on the block copolymer polyethylene-b-poly(ethylene oxide) (PE-b-PEO) and LiClO4 have been investigated. One set of electrolytes was prepared from copolymers with 75% of PEO units and another set was based on a blend of copolymer with 50% PEO units and homopolymers. The differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) results, for electrolytes based on the copolymer with 75% of PEO units, were dominated by the PEO phase. The PEO block crystallinity dropped and the glass transition increased with salt addition due to the coordination of the cation by PEO oxygen. The conductivity for copolymers 75% PEO-based electrolyte with 15 wt% of salt was higher than 10−5 S/cm at room temperature and reached to 10−3 S/cm at 100 °C on a heating measurement. The blend of PE-b-PEO (50% PEO)/PEO/PE showed a complex thermal behavior with decoupled melting of the blocks and the homopolymers. Upon salt addition the endotherms associated with PEO domains disappeared and the PE crystals remained untouched. The conductivity results were limited at 100 °C to values close to 10−4 S/cm and at room temperature values close to 3 × 10−6 S/cm were obtained for the 15 wt% salt electrolyte. Raman study showed that the ionic association of the highly concentrated blend electrolytes at room temperature is not significant. Therefore, the lower values of conductivity in the case of the blend with 50% PEO can be assigned to the higher content of PE domains leading to a morphology with lower connectivity for ionic conduction both in the crystalline and melted state of the PE domains. 相似文献

Copolymers of telechelic poly(2,6-dimethyl-1,4-phenylene ether) (PPE) segments and crystallisable T6T6T units (two-and-a-half repeating unit of nylon-6,T) of uniform length were synthesised. The influence of the T6T6T content (0-20 wt%), the purity of the telechelic PPE and uniformity of the T6T6T segment length on the thermal mechanical (DMA) properties were studied. The polymers are semi-crystalline materials with a high Tg/Tm ratio of above 0.8. Increasing the T6T6T content (0-20 wt%) has little effect on the Tg transition region, but the modulus of the rubbery plateau increases strongly (0-13 MPa) and the flow temperature increases slightly as well (260-275 °C). The materials are transparent when the T6T6T content is below 10 wt%. Surprisingly copolymers based on telechelic PPE of narrow molecular weight distribution had lower crystallinity. The uniformity of the T6T6T segment length seems to have little effect on the properties of the copolymer, as long as at least 70% of the units are of one length. 相似文献

A series of miscible PMMA/PMAA blends and PMMA-co-PMAA copolymers with different compositions were prepared in this study. Tgs of PMMA-co-PMAA copolymers are significantly higher than average values or from the Fox equation. The proton spin-lattice relaxation time in the rotating frame (T1ρH) determined by high resolution solid state 13C nuclear magnetic resonance indicates single composition-dependent from all blends and copolymers, implying a good miscibility with chain dynamics on a scale of 1-2 nm. However, T1ρHs of copolymers are still smaller than those of blends, implying that degrees of homogeneity of copolymers are higher than those of blends. On the basis of Kovacs' free volume theory, the free volume of the copolymer obtained is decreased which is another indication of greater homogeneity of the copolymer than that of the corresponding blend. According to Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy analyses, the above results can be rationalized that the hydrogen bonding interaction of the copolymer is stronger than the blend. 相似文献

Amorphous films of poly(ethylene terephthalate)/poly(ethylene-2,6-naphthalate) (PET/PEN) blends with different blend ratios were uniaxially drawn by solid-state coextrusion and the structure development during solid state deformation was studied. As-prepared blends showed two Tgs. The lower Tg was ∼72 °C, independent of the blend ratio. In contrast, the higher Tg increased with increasing PEN content. Thus, the coextrusion was carried out around the higher Tg of the sample. At a given draw ratio of 5, which was close to the achievable maximum draw ratio, the tensile strength of the drawn samples from the initially amorphous state increased gradually with increasing PEN content. On the other hand, the tensile modulus was found to decrease initially, reaching a minimum at 40-60 wt% PEN, and then increased as the PEN content increased. The results indicate that we can get the drawn films with a moderate tensile modulus and a high tensile strength. The drawn samples from the blends containing 40-60 wt% of PEN showed a maximum elongation at break, and a maximum thermal shrinkage around 100 °C. Also, the degree of stress-induced crystallinity showed a broad minimum around the blend ratio of 50% of PEN. These morphological characteristics explained well the effects of blend ratio on the tensile modulus and strength of drawn PET/PEN blend films. 相似文献

As a novel base material for low-loss graded index plastic optical fibers (GI POFs) in gigabit home networks, a copolymer of methyl methacrylate (MMA) and pentafluorophenyl methacrylate (PFPMA) was prepared and its thermal and optical properties were investigated. When the PFPMA content in the monomer feed was 0-50 mol%, both the glass transition temperature (Tg) and the decomposition temperature of the copolymer were higher than that for PMMA, which is the base material for many commercially available POFs. The transmittance of the copolymer was also found to be higher than that of PMMA since it has fewer C-H bonds per unit volume. As the core material of GI POFs, MMA-co-PFPMA (65/35 mol%), which had the highest Tg of 118 °C was utilized. A low-loss GI POF with an attenuation of 172-185 dB/km at the emission wavelengths of a high-speed light source (670-680 nm) was successfully obtained for the first time. 相似文献

Effect of comonomer type on the crystallization kinetics and crystalline structure of random isotactic propylene 1-alkene copolymers 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Isothermal crystallization kinetics and properties related to the crystalline structure of four series of random propylene 1-alkene copolymers have been comparatively studied in this work. Comonomers studied include ethylene, 1-butene, 1-hexene and 1-octene in a concentration range up to 21 mol%. All copolymers were synthesized with the same metallocene catalyst to provide an equivalent random distribution and a similar content of stereo and regio defects within the series. This has ensured that differences in crystallization kinetics and in crystalline properties of copolymers with matched compositions reflect the affinity of the comonomer type for co-crystallization with the propene units, and the effect of content and type of co-unit in the development of the crystalline structure. In the nucleation-driven crystallization range, that is for Tcs > Tc max, the values of the rate follow the sequence PB > PE > PH = PO for comonomer contents <13 mol%, and PB > PE > PH > PO for >13 mol% comonomer. These trends in overall crystallization are guided by differences in undercooling due to a similar progression of the degree of participation of the comonomer in the crystalline lattice. The variation of the rates at Tcs < Tc max follows the melt segmental dynamics driven by differences in Tg, especially at the highest co-unit contents, resulting in a reverse rate sequence for PHs and POs >15 mol%, i.e., PB > PE ∼ PO > PH. In addition to crystallization kinetics, a comparative polymorphic analysis and unit cell expansion, crystalline morphology, and melting behavior have been instrumental in resolving the partitioning of the four types of co-units between crystalline and non-crystalline regions. 1-Butene units participate at the highest level followed by the ethylene units, as demonstrated by solid-state NMR. However, both units are defects that hinder crystallization, as given by the decreasing rates, decreased levels of crystallinity and lowered melting temperatures with increasing co-unit content. All crystalline properties of PHs and POs conform to a rejection model of the 1-octene units from the crystals in the whole compositional range, and rejection of the 1-hexene units for PH <13 mol%, a conclusion also supported by NMR. The ability of PH >13 mol% to pack comonomer-rich sequences into a stable trigonal lattice leads at Tcs > Tc max to an increased number of crystallizable sequences, and to faster crystallization rates than for matched PO copolymers. 相似文献

Triblock copolymer PCL-PEG-PCL was prepared by ring-opening polymerization of ε-caprolactone (CL) in the presence of poly(ethylene glycol) catalyzed by calcium ammoniate at 60 °C in xylene solution. The copolymer composition and triblock structure were confirmed by 1H NMR and 13C NMR measurements. The differential scanning calorimetry and wide-angle X-ray diffraction analyses revealed the micro-domain structure in the copolymer. The melting temperature Tm and crystallization temperature Tc of the PEG domain were influenced by the relative length of the PCL blocks. This was caused by the strong covalent interconnection between the two domains. Aqueous micelles were prepared from the triblock copolymer. The critical micelle concentration was determined to be 0.4-1.2 mg/l by fluorescence technique using pyrene as probe, depending on the length of PCL blocks, and lower than that of corresponding PCL-PEG diblock copolymers. The 1H NMR spectrum of the micelles in D2O demonstrated only the -CH2CH2O- signal and thus confirmed the PCL-core/PEG-shell structure of the micelles. 相似文献

Phase behavior and miscibility with positive deviation from linear Tg-composition relationship in a copolymer/homopolymer blend system, poly(2-vinyl pyridine)-block-poly(ethylene oxide) (P2VP-b-PEO)/poly(p-vinyl phenol) (PVPh), were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and solid-state 13C nuclear magnetic resonance (13C NMR), optical microscopy (OM), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Optical and electron microscopy results as well as NMR proton spin-lattice relaxation times in laboratory frame () all confirmed the miscibility as judged by the Tg criterion using DSC. In comparison to the literature result on a homopolymer/homopolymer blend of P2VP/PVPh, fitting with the Kwei equation on the Tg-composition relationship for the block-copolymer/homopolymer blend of P2VP-b-PEO/PVPh blend system yielded a smaller q value (q = 120) for P2VP-b-PEO/PVPh than that for P2VP/PVPh blend (q = 160). The FT-IR and 13C NMR results revealed hydrogen-bonding interactions between the pendant pyridine group of P2VP-b-PEO and phenol unit in PVPh, which is responsible for the noted positive deviation of the Tg-composition relationship. Comparison of the shifts of hydroxyl IR absorbance band, reflecting the average strength of H-bonding, indicates a decreasing order of P2VP/PVPh > P2VP-b-PEO/PVPh > PEO/PVPh blends. The PEO block in the copolymer segment tends to defray the interaction strength in the P2VP-b-PEO/PVPh blends because of relative weaker interaction between PEO and PVPh than that between P2VP and PVPh pairs. A comparative ternary (P2VP/PEO)/PVPh blend was also studied as the controlling experiments for comparison to the P2VP-b-PEO/PVPh blend. The thermal behavior and interaction strength in (P2VP/PEO)/PVPh ternary blends are discussed with those in the P2VP-b-PEO/PVPh copolymer/homopolymer blend. 相似文献

Copolymers of telechelic poly(2,6-dimethyl-1,4-phenylene ether) (PPE) segments, uniform crystallisable tetra-amide units (T6T6T, 6-15 wt%) and different diols (C2-C36, polytetramethylene oxide) as an extender were synthesised. The telechelic PPE segment was end-functionalised with terephthalic ester groups and had a molecular weight of 3100 g/mol. The coupling between the PPE segment and the T6T6T unit was made with diols. The influence of the length and flexibility of the diol-extender and the concentration of the T6T6T units were studied on the thermal (DSC) and thermal-mechanical (DMA) properties of the copolymers. A crystalline T6T6T phase in the copolymers was evident from 9 wt% onwards. The length of diol extender had an effect on the glass transition temperature of the PPE phase, the crystallinity of the T6T6T segments and modulus above the glass transition temperature. With ethylene glycol the Tg of the copolymer was high but the crystallinity of the T6T6T rather low. With dodecanediol or hexanediol as an extender the Tgs of the PPE phase were somewhat lower, but the crystallinities of the T6T6T segments higher. With C36 and polytetramethylene oxide diols, the Tg were strongly decreased and broad and the modulus above the glass transition temperature not so high. 相似文献
