A modified model predictions and experimental results of weld-line strength in injection molded PS/PMMA blends

In this paper, the model based on melt diffusion and Flory-Huggins free energy theory for predicting the weld-line strength of injection molded amorphous polymers and polymer blends parts were modified by considering the diffusion thickness in the interface as a function of contact time. The modified model for weld-line strength prediction of homopolymers and polymer blends were, respectively, used to evaluate the weld-line strength of Polystyrene (PS) and Poly(methylmethacrylate) (PMMA), and that of PS/PMMA blends. The model predictions show that the theoretic predictions as a function of temperature and contact time for PS, PMMA and PS/PMMA (80/20, 70/30) are in good agreements with corresponding experimental results. However, the model predictions for PS/PMMA (20/80, 30/70) blends are much higher than experimental results. The morphology in weld-line regions for PS/PMMA (20/80, 30/70) shows lack of dispersed PS phase. Near the weld-line regions, dispersed PS phase is highly oriented along the weld-line. In theoretic prediction for polymer blends, three kinds of diffusion: Polymer A-Polymer A and Polymer B-Polymer B self-diffusions and Polymer A-Polymer B mutual diffusion were considered. This is why model predictions for PS/PMMA (20/80, 30/70) blends are higher than experimental results.     

Improvement of mechanical properties for PP/PS blends by in situ compatibilization

The effect of the in situ compatibilization on the mechanical properties of PP/PS blends was investigated. The application of Friedel-Crafts alkylation reaction to the PP/PS-blend compatibilization was assessed. Styrene/AlCl₃ was used as catalyst system. The graft copolymer (PP-g-PS) formed at the interphase showed relatively high emulsifying strength. Scission reactions, occurring in parallel with grafting, were verified for PP and PS at high catalyst concentration, but no crosslinking reactions were detected. Tensile tests were performed on dog-bone specimens of the blends. Both elongation at break and toughness increased with catalyst concentration. At 0.7% AlCl₃, a maximum was reached, which amounted to five times the value of the property for the uncompatibilized blend. At higher catalyst concentrations these properties decreased along with the PP molecular weight due to chain-scission reactions. On the other hand, the tensile strength did not change with the catalyst concentration. The in situ compatibilized blends showed considerable improvement in mechanical properties, but were adversely affected by chain scissions at high catalyst contents.     

Synthesis and properties of polystyrene‐b‐poly(ethylene oxide)‐b‐polystyrene triblock copolymers

A series of well‐defined and property‐controlled polystyrene (PS)‐b‐poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO)‐b‐polystyrene (PS) triblock copolymers were synthesized by atom‐transfer radical polymerization, using 2‐bromo‐propionate‐end‐group PEO 2000 as macroinitiatators. The structure of triblock copolymers was confirmed by ¹H‐NMR and GPC. The relationship between some properties and molecular weight of copolymers was studied. It was found that glass‐transition temperature (T_g) of copolymers gradually rose and crystallinity of copolymers regularly dropped when molecular weight of copolymers increased. The copolymers showed to be amphiphilic. Stable emulsions could form in water layer of copolymer–toluene–water system and the emulsifying abilities of copolymers slightly decreased when molecular weight of copolymers increased. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Photocatalytic performance of TiO<Subscript>2</Subscript> thin films connected with Cu micro-grid

Aiming at reducing the recombination of photo-induced carriers in semiconductor photocatalytic process, we prepared TiO₂ thin film with its surface modified by a connected Cu micro-grid via a microsphere lithography strategy, which showed higher photocatalytic activity than the pure TiO₂ film. The improvement of photocatalytic activity of Cu micro-grid to the TiO₂ film is due to the charge carrier separation and electron transfer by the conducting metal grid. The photocatalytic activity was improved as metal loading increased, which obtained the best performance at a certain loading amount, and then decreased at higher loading amount. This phenomenon was attributed to the metal’s bulk effect which could be explained by the relationship between the energetic positions and the metal cluster size.

Dynamic mechanical properties of agricultural residues‐filled polystyrene

Agricultural residues (cotton straw) were added as very small particles to polystyrene (PS) at different weight ratios by using a melt‐mixing technique. The dynamic mechanical tests were performed over a wide range of temperatures and frequencies by using an ARES rheometer (Rheometrics Scientific) operated in the dynamic mode. The dynamic mechanical properties in terms of the storage modulus (G′), loss modulus (G″), compliance moduli, loss tangent, and dynamic viscosity were studied and compared for PS and PS composite. The results showed that the dynamic mechanical moduli and viscosity were found to increase with the addition of cotton straw and rise further with its loading increasing. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
