MMA/N-对甲苯基马来酰亚胺乳液共聚的研究

通过乳液共聚得到N－对甲苯基马来酰亚胺（NPTMI），甲基丙烯酸甲酯（MMA）的二元共聚物，用扭辫分析，热重分析和维卡软化点测定仪研究了不同NPTMI含量对共聚物热性能的影响，以及共聚物的力学性能，流变性能，研究结果表明，共聚物初始分解温度（Tini)，失重50％时的温度，玻璃化转变温度（Tg)及维卡软化点（TViout)都随NPTMI的含量增加而提高，当NPTMI含量为15％时，Tg提高14．1℃，Tini提高23．2℃，TVicut提高8．9℃，工聚物熔体呈假塑性流体，同时共聚物熔体非牛顿指数随NPTMI含量的增加而增大。     

Mixture Rules for Critical Shear Values of Extruded Linear PE/Branched PE Blends

Oscillatory flow and elastic turbulence belong to the types of flow instabilities frequently encountered during extrusion of polymer melts. The onset of these defects corresponds to the flow conditions when the critical shear stresses or the critical shear rates are attained. The critical values of shear stresses and shear rates were experimentally determined for linear polyethylene/branched polyethylene blends (IPE/bPE) that were prepared with various weight ratios. Consequently, mixture rules of the logarithmic type are proposed. These rules relate the critical value of shear stress (shear rate) of blend to the critical values of shear stresses (shear rates) of the individual pure components, weight fractions, and interaction parameters. There is a good agreement between the proposed mixture rules and experimentally determined critical values.     

Properties of Poly(vinylchloride) Blended with an Emulsion Copolymer of N-p-Tolylmaleimide,Methyl Methacrylate,and Acrylonitrile

Abstract

Copolymers of N-p-tolylmaleimide, methyl methacrylate, and acrylonitrile were synthesized by the semibatch emulsion polymerization method and used for blending with poly(vinylchloride) (PVC) to improve its heat resistance. The thermal properties of the blends with different terpolymer content were investigated by differential scanning calorimeter (DSC), thermogravimatric analysis (TGA), and Vicat softening point tester (T _Vicat). The results showed that the glass transition temperature (T _g ), Vicat softening point, and thermal decomposition temperature of the blends increased with increasing terpolymer content. The tensile strength increased with an increase in the copolymer content. The results of the rheological behavior showed that the apparent viscosity ? _α decreased with increasing shear rate and increased with the copolymer content.
