    Notes: Microstructural changes occurring during the process of crystallization in as-spun poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) have been monitored using wide- and small-angle X-ray scattering, optical birefringence, shrinkage measurements, and specific gravity.Shrinkage and birefringence results show a competition between two processes: chain re-coiling on the one hand and crystallization on the other hand. A consistent correlation among WAXS, SAXS, shrinkage, and birefringence results is demonstrated. SAXS data show a fibrillar morphology. On the basis of WAXS results, the crystallization is envisioned as a two stage process: first, the formation of defective fibrils, and then the formation of more perfect crystals. WAXS results also demonstrate a remelting phenomenon in samples which have experienced positive shrinking.

    Notes: The evolution of several structural characteristics during isothermal heat treatment of poly(p-phenylene terephthalamide) was studied. In this work, heat treatment was interrupted after different treatment times, with the specimens immediately quenched to room temperature. These specimens were then characterized by tensile testing, wide- and small-angle x-ray scattering, and optical microscopy. Structural parameters obtained from these measurements relate to crystal perfection (via the paracrystalline axial distortion parameter), axial crystallite size, transverse crystallite size, degree of chain misorientation, and degree of pleating. Structural and mechanical parameters were then plotted against heat-treatment time to obtain kinetic isotherms for each parameter. The kinetics of the removal of chain misorientation parallels that of tensile modulus increase under all conditions. Of the other structural parameters, only the kinetics of pleat removal mimics that of modulus change, indicating that pleat removal is the effective cause of increased chain alignment and thereby of increased axial stiffness. ©1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: The mechanical properties of poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) fibers at temperatures above the glass transition are investigated by means of a specially constructed device. Measurements of the deformation rate and of the “dynamic” stress-strain curves of the fibers are performed in nearly isothermal regime (after initial rapid heating) in a temperature interval 100-200°C. The results reported in the present work demonstrate that the high-temperature mechanical characteristics of rapidly crystallizing polymers can be deduced to a satisfactory precision, while keeping the crystallinity development at low level. Our investigations indicate that if the high-temperature deformation is sufficiently fast, the polymer behavior is similar to the deformation at sub-Tg temperatures. Based on this similarity, a qualitative model of the deformation in the high-temperature region is proposed. The proposed model is fundamentally equivalent to the models describing mechanical deformation of glassy polymers at temperatures below the glass transition. ©1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: The atomic force microscope (AFM) has been used to investigate morphological development during the crystallization of poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) from the melt. PEOs with molecular weights of 1 × 105 and 7 × 106 were used. Height and amplitude images were recorded, using the tapping mode. For both polymers, the mode of spherulite development varied with the velocity of the growth front. For slow growth velocities, the growth of the crystallites was linear, with growth initially occurring by single lamellae, later developing into growth arms by screw dislocation spawning of crystallites. At intermediate growth velocities, stacks of lamellae develop rapidly. The splaying apart of adjacent crystals and growth arms is abundant. The operation of growth spirals was observed directly in this growth velocity range. The crystals formed by the giant screw dislocations diverge immediately from the original growth direction, providing a source of interlamellar splaying. At low and intermediate velocities, the front propagates by the advance of primary growth arms, with the regions between the arms filled in by arms growing behind the primary front. At the highest velocity observed here, the formation of lamellar bundles and immediate splaying results in recognizable spherulites developing at the earliest stages of crystallization. The change from linear growth to splaying and nonlinear growth are qualitatively explained in terms of driving force, elastic resistance and the presence of compositional and/or elastic fields in the melt. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: New methods for rapidly obtaining elastic modulus and density measurements during isothermal polymer aging are given. The elastic measurements are performed using a Rockwell hardness tester. In this case, the elastic recovery is measured. Rapid density measurements are performed using a “double drop” density gradient columan method. Here, a fully aged and a freshly quenched specimen are dropped simultaneously into the column. Simultaneous column height differences directly measure the density difference of the two specimens. The results of these two experiments extend previously reported aging measurements to relatively low times of aging. A log (time) law for both properties is found to the smallest times measured.

    Notes: A self-seeding technique, coupled with isothermal crystallization, was used to prepare isotactic polypropylene specimens of varying spherulite size, but of constant crystallinity and lamellar thickness. The latter quantities were also varied by changing the isothermal crystallization temperature. The electrical lifetime at constant applied voltage, in a point-plane geometry, was measured. It was found that the electrical lifetime decreased with increasing spherulite size and, more weakly, with decreasing crystallinity (at a given spherulite size).

    Notes: In this work, a process for making high-modulus (8GPa) laminates of poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) has been developed. Oriented films of the polymer were produced by a technique utilizing a very high extension rate, and these films were crossplied and consolidated to form the product laminates. The procedures for drawing the original film lamina and consolidating the laminates were optimized with respect to the material properties. Further, the possibility of chemical healing-bonding of the lamina together by chemical reaction, not diffusion-was investigated for these materials. It was found that laminates could be formed with both high moduli and strong interply bonding and that the moduli actually increase due to crystallization during pressing. Longrange diffusion during bond formation was ruled out, since crosslinked polyesters were found to bond as readily as uncrosslinked. Chemical reactions between contacted surfaces appear to be a likely mechanism of bonding.

    Notes: The cold-drawing behavior of naturally aged poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) is investigated and an attempt is made to compare the mechanical behavior of unaged commercial PET and material which has been naturally aged for 11 years. Mechanical, viscometric, DSC and IR measurements are applied. The previously observed unusual ability of fresh PET bristles to be cold drawn up to 15:1 is not achieved for the naturally aged material. This fact is related to chemical cross-linking occurring on the surface of bristles after drawing and thermal treatment. The cross-linked skin is unsoluble, infusible, and uncrystallizable. The natural aging defeats the ability of PET to respond to external treatments which would otherwise change the internal structure. Such a “stabilization” of material properties is a result of the transformation, during natural aging, of the original physical network into a chemical network consisting of covalent bonds.

    Notes: The effect of 2,2′-oxydiethanol (diethylene glycol, DEG) content (ranging from 2 to 15 mol %) and of the annealing temperature (in the range from 100 to 260°C) on the density, calorimetric, dynamic- and static-mechanical and small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) behavior of undrawn and drawn samples (granules, films, and bristles) of poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) has been studied. The known dependences on the annealing temperature are confirmed. Some discrepancies with earlier investigations of the dependences on the DEG content are established: constant values for the SAXS intensity and long spacing, for the lamellar thickness and for the volume fraction crystallinity ac. These discrepancies are explained by the variation of the glass transition temperature (Tg) and melting temperature (Tm) of the materials with different DEG contents. The previous hypothesis of the segregation of the comonomer (DEG) units into the amorphous regions is confirmed.
