Toughening and compatibilization of polyphenylene sulfide/nylon 66 blends with SEBS and maleic anhydride grafted SEBS triblock copolymers

In this study, styrene‐b‐ethylene/butylene‐b‐styrene triblock copolymer (SEBS) and maleic anhydride grafted SEBS (SEBS‐g‐MA) were used as compatibilizers for the blends of polyphenylene sulfide/nylon 66 (PPS/PA66). The mechanical properties, including impact and tensile properties and morphology of the blends, were investigated by mechanical properties measurements and scanning electron microscopy. Impact measurements indicated that the impact strength of the blends increases slowly with elastomer (SEBS and SEBS‐g‐MA) content upto 20 wt %; thereafter, it increases sharply with increasing elastomer content. The impact energy of the elastomer‐compatibilized PPS/PA66 blends exceeded that of pure nylon 66, implying that the nylon 66 can be further toughened by the incorporation of brittle PPS minor phase in the presence of SEBS or SEBS‐g‐MA. The compatibilization efficiency of SEBS‐g‐MA for nylon‐rich PPS/PA66 was found to be higher than SEBS due to the in situ forming SEBS interphase between PPS and nylon 66. The correlation between the impact property and morphology of the SEBS‐g‐MA compatibilized PPS/PA66 blends is discussed. The excellent impact strength of the nylon‐rich blends resulted from shield yielding of the matrix. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci, 2007     

针状硅灰石对阻燃HIPS材料性能和形态的影响

通过在阻燃高抗冲聚苯乙烯(HIPS)材料中加入不同用量的针状硅灰石的试验研究,发现一定用量的硅灰石可提高阻燃HIPS材料的断裂伸长率、弯曲弹性模量、耐热性和加工性能,而对阻燃HIPS材料的拉伸强度、冲击韧性和阻燃性能基本上无影响。扫描电子显微镜观察显示,硅灰石以一定长度的针状细条嵌入HIPS基体中,起到部分玻璃纤维的改性作用,阻燃HIPS材料的冲击断面仍为韧性断裂。

超临界甲苯降解聚苯乙烯反应动力学模型

引言 聚苯乙烯是一种性能优良、应用广泛的通用塑料,且可降解回收苯乙烯单体,因此废聚苯乙烯的回收利用受到广泛关注.但聚苯乙烯热降解高温熔融时黏度很大,造成温度分布不均和局部过热,容易发生二次反应并导致结炭,同时降低了苯乙烯单体收率,因此近年来发展了各种热解技术以抑制结炭、提高苯乙烯收率.超临界降解技术利用超临界流体优异的扩散性能和溶解性能,具有加快聚苯乙烯降解速率,提高反应转化率,抑制结炭等优点[1-4].

PTT／PP／PP-g-MAH共混材料的形态与性能研究

研究了马来酸酐接枝聚丙烯(PP-g-MAH)对聚对苯二甲酸丙二酯(PTT)/聚丙烯(PP)共混体系的形态结构和性能的影响。结果表明,PP在PTT连续相中分散均匀,粒子尺寸随着增容剂含量的增加而细化,分散相与连续相之间有较好的黏结作用,PP-g-MAH改善了PP与PTT的相容性。共混物熔体为假塑性流体,其假塑性随PP-g-MAH含量的增加而升高,熔体表观黏度从1．31 Pa·s降低到1．19 Pa·s,黏流活化能从64．5 kJ/mol降低到36．7 kJ/mol。共混物中PTT和PP可分别结晶,但结晶行为相互影响,PP-g-MAH促进了PTT在高温结晶。共混物的冲击强度随着PP-g-MAH含量的增加从14．2 kJ/m~2提高到33．5 kJ/m~2,拉伸强度在PP-g-MAH含量为5％～10％(质量分数,下同)时最大。共混物的热稳定性随着PP-g-MAH含量的增加而逐渐降低。

Crystalline structures of intercalate molecular complexes of syndiotactic polystyrene with two fluorescent guests: 1,3,5-Trimethyl-benzene and 1,4-dimethyl-naphthalene

The crystal structures of two molecular complex phases of syndiotactic polystyrene (s-PS) with 1,3,5-trimethyl-benzene (TMB) and 1,4-dimethyl-naphthalene (DMN) have been described. These structures present a monoclinic unit cell in which the s(2/1)2 polymer helices and guest molecules are packed according the space group P2₁/a and unit cell constants: a=17.3 Å, b=15.4 Å, c=7.8 Å and γ=95.7° for s-PS/TMB and a=17.4 Å, b=17.2 Å, c=7.8 Å and γ=116.4° for s-PS/DMN. Both structures can be described as intercalates, since they present ac layers of polymer helices alternated to layers of contiguous guest molecules and a guest/monomeric-unit molar ratio of 1/2, as recently observed only for s-PS/norbornadiene molecular complex. On the basis of a comparison between crystalline structures and X-ray diffraction data of several s-PS molecular complexes, a simple criterion to anticipate their clathrate or intercalate nature has been suggested.     

The effects of acrylate monomers and polystyrene addition on the morphology of DOP‐plasticized styrene–acrylate polymer particles prepared by SPG emulsification and suspension polymerization

Fairly uniform copolymer particles of methyl acrylate (MA), butyl acrylate (BA), or butyl methacrylate (BMA) were synthesized via Shirasu porous glass (SPG) membrane and followed by suspension polymerization. After a single‐step SPG emulsification, the emulsion composed mainly of the monomers. Hydrophobic additives of dioctyl phthalate (DOP), polystyrene molecules, and an oil‐soluble initiator, suspended in an aqueous phase containing poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) stabilizer and sodium nitrite inhibitor (NaNO₂), were subsequently subjected to suspension polymerization. Two‐phase copolymers with a soft phase and a hard phase were obtained. The composite particles of poly(St‐co‐MA)/PSt were prepared by varying the St/PSt ratios or the DOP amount. The addition of PSt induced a high viscosity at the dispersion phase. The molecular weight slightly increased with increasing St/PSt concentration. The multiple‐phase separation of the St‐rich phase and PMA domains, observed by transmission electron microscopy, was caused by composition drift because the MA reactivity ratio is greater than that of St. The addition of DOP revealed the greater compatibility between the hard‐St and soft‐MA moieties than that without DOP. The phase morphologies of poly(St‐co‐MA), poly(St‐co‐BMA), and their composites with PSt were revealed under the influence of DOP. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 99: 1195–1206, 2006
