Wetting properties of polystyrene ionomers treated with plasma source ion implantation

The wetting properties of polystyrene‐based ionomers treated with plasma source ion implantation (PSII) were investigated by the measurement of water contact angles. When sulfonated ionomers were aged for a few days, the hydrophobic recovery for the ionomers became much slower than that for the nonionic polymers. However, when the samples were aged over 20 days, the water contact angle of the ionomers converged with that of the nonionic polymer. Thus, it was concluded that the ionic interaction between the ionic groups and the presence of ionic groups together resulted in the slow hydrophobic recovery and that the aging effect was significant for the ionomers. For the methacrylate ionomer of low ion content, on the other hand, it was found that the PSII treatment produced only a small change in hydrophobic recovery behavior. Thus, it was suggested that the low ionic content coupled with the small size of the ionic unit might cause changes only of a very insignificant degree in hydrophobic recovery behavior. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Preparation,morphology, and mechanical properties of elastomers based on α,ω‐dihydroxy‐polydimethylsiloxane/polystyrene blends

α,ω‐Dihydroxy‐polydimethylsiloxane/polystyrene (PDMS/PS) blends were prepared by the solution polymerization of styrene (St) in the presence of α,ω ‐dihydroxy‐polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), using toluene as solvent and benzoyl peroxide (BPO) as initiator. The PDMS/PS blends obtained by this method are a series of stable, white gums, which were vulcanized to elastomers at room temperature with methyl‐triethoxysilicane (MTES). The use level of MTES was far more than the necessary amount used to end‐link hydroxy‐terminated chains of PDMS, with the excess being hydrolyzed to crosslinked networks, which were similar to SiO₂ and acted as filler. Investigations were carried out on the elastomeric materials by extraction measurement, swelling measurement, and scanning electron microscopy. The extraction data show that at each composition the amount of soluble fraction is less than expected and the difference between experimental and theoretical values becomes more and more significant as PS content increases. This is mainly due to the grafting of PS onto PDMS and the entanglement of PS in the interpenetrating polymer network (IPN), which consists of either directly linked PDMS chains or chains linked via PS grafts and is formed by free radical crosslinking of PDMS during the radical polymerization of St. PS grafted on PDMS is insoluble and PS entangled in the IPN is difficult to extract. Both render the soluble fraction to be less than expected. As the St content in preparing PDMS/PS blends increases, the probability of grafting PS onto PDMS also increases, which may subsequently produce a higher crosslinking level of PDMS networks that linked via PS grafts by radical crosslinking. As a result, not only the amount of insoluble PS increases but also PS entangled in the IPN is more difficult to extract. Scanning electron microscopy demonstrates that the elastomer system has a microphase‐separated structure and a certain amount of PS remains in the PDMS networks after extraction, which is in accordance with the extraction data. Moreover, the mechanical properties of the elastormeric materials have been studied in detail. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 92: 3542–3548, 2004

Small‐angle X‐ray scattering study of modified porous suspension–poly(vinyl chloride) particles

Small‐angle X‐ray scattering (SAXS) was applied to investigate the microstructure of unmodified and modified porous commercial suspension‐type poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) particles. The modified PVC particles were prepared by an in situ stabilizer‐free polymerization/crosslinking of particles absorbed with a monomer/crosslinker/peroxide solution. The modifying polymers include styrene with or without divinyl benzene (DVB) as a crosslinker and methyl methacrylate (MMA) with or without ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA) as a crosslinker. The SAXS method was used to highlight the effect of polystyrene (PS) on the microstructure of PVC particles and to evaluate the characteristic lengths, both in the PVC/PS and the PVC/XPS (PS crosslinked with 0 and 5% DVB, respectively) systems. A model is suggested, where during the synthesis modification process, swelling of PVC by styrene and styrene polymerization occur simultaneously. PVC swelling by styrene causes destruction of the PVC subprimary particles, whereas styrene polymerization leads to phase separation resulting from incompatibility of the polymers. It was further suggested that because of PVC swelling by styrene, structure of the subprimary particles is lost. Therefore the characteristic lengths of PVC/PS and PVC/XPS, as calculated from the SAXS measurements, were attributed to the size of the phase‐separated PS and XPS inclusions, respectively. The SAXS method also shows that PMMA and XPMMA do not influence the PVC microstructure. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 95: 1024–1031, 2005
