    Notes: Abstract The transformation during heat treatment from a fibrillar to a lamellar morphology in highly oriented polypropylene is followed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and small angle electron scattering (SAES). While the as drawn films exhibit long (up to 1μm) continuous fibrillar crystals, those crystals disintegrate into short crystalline blocks which finally aggregate into a lamellar morphology during the heat treatment. After even longer heat treatment the lamellar crystals start to thicken.

    Notes: Abstract The isothermal crystallization kinetics of poly(TMPS) has been measured by ISSAXS and results obtained for a molecular weight fraction (21,000) below the critical entanglement molecular weight (25,000) and another one above it (371,000). The SAXS intensity vs. time curves suggest that a single transformation mechanism exists. The SAXS long period is independent of crystallization time for both poly(TMPS) fractions. However the interlamellar thickness contribution to the long period is dependent upon molecular weight and crystallization temperature, increasing with temperature and molecular weight. The crystallite contribution also increases over the range studied. Both fractions exhibit a significant, but reversible decrease in thickness on cooling the sample from the crystallization temperature to room temperature and recyling again. The change is more pronounced for 371,000 specimen in keeping with its lower crystallinity. The path dependence of lamellar dimensions has significant implications in the morphological characterization of polymers annealed or crystallized at one temperature and then measured at another one.

    Notes: Poly(ether-ether-ketone) (PEEK) is a newly developed engineering thermoplastic with potentially vast application in advanced composites due to its exceptional performance. It is thus desired to understand the relationship between physical processing, microstructure and fracture in this semicrystalline polymer. Both oriented and unoriented PEEK were mechanically characterized using static test of three-point bend specimens. The molecular chain orientation was imposed using a rolltrusion technique. The effects of thickness, strain rate, Initial crack length ratio, and orientation on fracture toughness (Kc) are investigated. The crystallinity is also examined by density measurement. The degree of orientation is determined qualitatively by wide-angle X-ray scattering diffraction patterns and quantitatively by further measurement using an image analysis system. Fractographic analysis, using scanning electron microscopy, provides precise information about the mode of fracture, Results indicate that both the modulus and the fracture toughness are remarkedly increased in the direction of drawing (T-type) as opposed to the transverse direction (L-type).

    Notes: Removal of the heat of fusion during steady-state crystallization in a high-speed spinline places restrictions on the morphology of the crystallites. An appropriate model is that of a thermal dendrite. It is shown that for this case there exists at each temperature along the threadline a limiting growth velocity, beyond which heat cannot be conducted away fast enough to permit growth. It is suggested that crystallization occurs when a fluid element reaches a temperature at which heat can just be conducted away rapidly enough. Comparison of dendrite theory predictions with experimental values of crystallite diameter and crystallization temperature shows satisfactory agreement. Poly(ethylene terephthalate) has been taken as the example.

    Notes: The relationships between the supermolecular structure of poly(ethylene terephthalate) films subjected to cold drawing and subsequent zone annealing and their mechanical properties are investigated. The effectiveness of zone annealing is compared to that of annealing with fixed ends. Microstructural changes occurring during heat treatment and zone annealing are monitored using wide angle X-ray scattering, small angle X-ray scattering, infrared spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, and static mechanical tests. The very high modulus and strength of the zone-annealed films are directly attributed to the large number of the molecules connecting the crystallites.

    Notes: A useful concept in polymer science is the degree of crystallinity - the fraction of the polymer that exists in a relatively ordered state. Methods of determination of the degree of crystallinity using density, infrared, thermal, N.M.R. and X-ray measurements are examined in light of modern notions of the structure of semi-crystalline polymers.

    Notes: Microstructural features of semicrystalline polymers are reviewed, as are the roles of chain properties and thermal history in their development. Experimental results relating failure properties to microstructural detail are described. General models to explain inter- and intra-spherulitic failure behavior are proposed. Important are (a) the role of spherulite size in boundary incompatibility, (b) competition between spherulite boundary cracking and intraspherulitic yielding, (c) competition between localized (interspherulitic) fracture and dispersed (intraspherulitic) fracture.

    Notes: The microstructural changes in isotactic polypropylene (PP), subsequent to quench from the melt to around Tg were studied using dynamic mechanical loss, volume dilatometry, small and wide angle X-ray scattering, infrared and NMR spectroscopy. The β-transition loss tangent and the specific volume decreased linearly with logarithm of aging time. Dynamic mechanical loss and NMR spectroscopy results established that amorphous chain mobility reduced during aging. X-ray and IR techniques showed that the crystallinity, the crystalline density, and the average chain conformation do not change during aging. Tensile tests indicated that diffusion of air or moisture into the polymer is not a competitive mechanism for the aging phenomenon. A simple free-volume model is quantitatively consistent with these observations. The fraction of the material which cannot age increased as the quench temperature decreased. Further, at lower temperatures a portion of the nonageable fraction is shown to reside in the amorphous fraction.

    Notes: Stress-corrosion data for poly(ethylene terephthalate) reinforced with short glass fibers are provided under various environments and the microscopic observations are compared with the lifetime data. It is concluded that the lifetime behavior coincides with the microstructural features; this aspect is quantified by the statistical analysis.
