Temperature-composition phase diagrams of binary blends of block copolymer and homopolymer

The temperature-composition phase diagrams for six pairs of diblock copolymer and homopolymer are presented, putting emphasis on the effects of block copolymer composition and the molecular weight of added homopolymers. For the study, two polystyrene-block-polyisoprene (SI diblock) copolymers having lamellar or spherical microdomains, a polystyrene-block-polybutadiene (SB diblock) copolymer having lamellar microdomains, and a series of polystyrene (PS), polyisoprene (PI), and polybutadiene (PB) were used to prepare SI/PS, SI/PI, SB/PS, and SB/PB binary blends, via solvent casting, over a wide range of compositions. The shape of temperature-composition phase diagram of block copolymer/homopolymer blend is greatly affected by a small change in the ratio of the molecular weight of added homopolymer to the molecular weight of corresponding block (M_H,A/M_C,A or M_H,B/M_C,B) when the block copolymer is highly asymmetric in composition but only moderately even for a large change in M_H,A/M_C,A ratio when the block copolymer is symmetric or nearly symmetric in composition. The boundary between the mesophase (M₁) of block copolymer and the homogeneous phase (H) of block copolymer/homopolymer blend was determined using oscillatory shear rheometry, and the boundary between the homogeneous phase (H) and two-phase liquid mixture (L₁+L₂) with L₁ being disordered block copolymer and L₂ being macrophase-separated homopolymer was determined using cloud point measurement. It is found that the addition of PI to a lamella-forming SI diblock copolymer or the addition of PB to a lamella-forming SB diblock copolymer gives rise to disordered micelles (DM) having no long-range order, while the addition of PS to a lamella-forming SB diblock copolymer retains lamellar microdomain structure until microdomains disappear completely. Thus, the phase diagram of SI/PI or SB/PB blends looks more complicated than that of SI/PS or SB/PS blends.     

Investigation of electrically conductive acrylonitrile‐butadiene rubber

Electrically conductive acrylonitrile‐butadiene rubbers (NBRs) containing carbon black (CB) as conductive filler were prepared in order to investigate their electrical and mechanical properties. The effects of conductive CB loading, temperature, acrylonitrile content, crosslinking density of vulcanizates, and plasticizer on conductivity were studied. The change in electrical conductivity of NBRs with different amounts of CB showed that there is a certain critical point (percolation threshold) where a significant decrease in electrical resistivity (increase in conductivity) is observed. Mechanical properties such as tensile strength, elongation to break, and surface hardness of vulcanized NBRs were measured. It was found that the percolation threshold was 5 phr of CB for the NBR/CB composites. J. VINYL ADDIT. TECHNOL., 13:71–75, 2007. © 2007 Society of Plastics Engineers.

影响自由基聚合立体定向力的因素

在自由基聚合中,生成间规立构的趋势稍优先于等规立构。通常认为,碳碳双键上取代基的体积效应和极性效应,是加成反应的立体定向力;而作者则认为,极性呈静电排斥效应是决定间规立构含量较优的主要因素。取代基的体积效应具有两个因素同时决定着立体异构的形成,其一是热力学因素,即体积的排斥效应使间规立构含量增加;另一是动力学因素,即在加成反应瞬间影响链末端碳碳单键内旋转的自由度。因此,取代基的存在不仅使得间规立构占主导,而且取代基体积越小,则自由基的碳碳单键内旋转越容易,形成间规立构的比例亦越高;反之则内旋转不自由,形成随机取向(即无规立构)的比例增加。     

Synthesis of copoly(ethylene terephthalate /imide)s and crystallization kinetics

Copoly(ehtylene terephthalate/imide)s (PETI) were prepared by melt polycodensation of bis(2-hydroxyethyl)terephthalate (BHET) and imide containing comonomer, 4,4′-bis[(4-carbo-2-hydroxyethoxy)phthalimido]diphenylmethane (BHEI) with Sb₂O₃ as catalyst at 280°C under vacuum (～ 1 mm Hg). The change of T_m with an increase of the BHEI repeat unit in the PETI copolymer was analyzed by the Flory equation. On isothermal crystallization, a longer induction time and a lower activation energy than for the PET homopolymer were observed with an increasing amount of BHEI repeat unit. The Avrami exponent, n, increased from 1.5 to 2.3 as the content of BHEI or crystallization temperature was increased. The Avrami rate constant K decreased with the increase of the BHEL unit. On nonisothermal crystallization, the Ozawa equation and Lawton plot were used to investigate the effect of BHEI units on the crystallization kinetics of PETI copolymers. From the change of the cooling crystallization function and the result of the Lawton plot, it was found that the BHEI unit effectively decreases the rate of crystallization.     

Miscibility in poly-p-phenylene terephthalamide/nylon 6 and nylon 66 molecular composites

Miscibility and crystallization of poly-p-phenylene terephthalamide (PPTA)/nylon 6 and nylon 66 composites prepared by coagulation of isotropic ternary sulfuric acid solutions were studied. The apparent crystallinity of nylon 6 and nylon 66 in molecular composites was investigated by differential scanning calorimetry and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The solvation of nylon 6 crystals in PPTA matrix was observed when the PPTA content exceeds 70 wt%. Cross-hydrogen bonding seems to be responsible for the virtual disappearance of nylon 6 crystals. Specific interaction between PPTA and nylon 6 macromolecules and phase separation during thermal treatment has been discussed.

Friction and wear of single-crystal silicon at elevated temperatures

Single-crystal silicon wafers ((1 1 1) and (1 0 0)p-type) were abraded at room temperature 300 °C, and 600 °C by a polycrystalline partially stabilized zirconia ball in a ball-on reciprocating flat geometry. The sliding direction was 1 1 0. The friction coefficient was recorded as a function of reciprocating strokes and the deformation mode of the silicon. The friction coefficient at room temperature decreased with the number of strokes, and this variation was less affected by the number of strokes at the higher temperatures. The wear track width and depth were measured at the three temperatures. Wear increases as the temperature is raised to 300 and 600 °C. Optical and scanning electron microscopy of the subsurface damage reveals that cracks are generated at RT and 300 °C and dislocations are produced at 600 °C. The change in deformation mode with temperature from brittle fracture to plastic deformation accounts for the differences in wear.
