    Notizen: A brief review is given of applications of Monte Carlo simulations to study the dynamical properties of coarse-grained models of polymer melts, emphasizing the crossover from the Rouse model toward reptation, and the glass transition. The extent to which Monte Carlo algorithms can mimic the actual chain dynamics is critically examined, and the need for the use of coarse-grained rather than fully atomistic models for such simulations is explained. It is shown that various lattice and continuum models yield qualitatively similar results, and the behavior agrees with the findings of corresponding molecular dynamics simulations and experiments, where available. It is argued that these simulations significantly enhance our understanding of the theoretical concepts on the dynamics of dense macromolecular systems. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notizen: The relaxation behavior of poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO), intercalated in montmorillonite, a naturally occurring mica-type silicate, was studied by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermally stimulated dielectric depolarization (or thermally stimulated current, TSC). The materials were synthesized by melt or solution-mediated intercalation. In both intercalates, the PEO chains were confined to ca. 0.8-nm galleries between the silicate layers. The solution intercalate contained a fraction of unintercalated PEO chains which exhibited a weak and depressed PEO melting endotherm in DSC. In contrast, the melt intercalate was “starved” such that almost all the PEO chains were effectively intercalated. For these melt intercalates, no thermal events were detected by DSC. TSC thermal sampling technique was used to examine the glass transition regions and to estimate the extent of cooperativity of chain motions. The motions of the intercalated PEO chains are inherently noncooperative relative to the cooperative Tg motions in the amorphous portion of the bulk polymer. This is presumably due to the strong confining effect of the silicate layers on the relaxations of the intercalated polymer. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notizen: Spectroscopic data can deliver force constants only if the exact chain conformation is known. For the longitudinal acoustic modes (LAM), however, simple linear chain models can be used to yield the effective longitudinal chain modulus from spectroscopic data of oligomer crystals. The model of p-coupled linear chain molecules with N masses and only nearest neighbor interactions was used to investigate the longitudinal acoustic modes with s nodes. The frequencies plotted versus s/N fall onto different branches for different s. The intermolecular coupling and the heavier endmasses shift the LAM branches to higher and lower frequencies, respectively. There exists a value x0 depending on the masses and force constants, where the branches cut the dispersion curve of the infinite molecule. For s/N ≥ x0 the effect of endmasses dominates. Low-frequency RAMAN spectra of n-alkanes (N = 20, …, 40 C atoms) were recorded and analyzed. The LAM1 branch runs clearly above a smooth fit through all other LAM data and the origin. This fit approximates to first order the dispersion curve of the infinite PE molecule in an ideal crystal. Its curvature exceeds that of the dispersion curve of the simple linear chain, but is somewhat smaller than that of the dispersion curve of the planar zig-zag chain with rigid bonds. The slope at the origin yields the limiting elastic modulus Ec = 315 GPa in chain direction of crystalline polyethylene. From our measurements on n-alkanes we obtained the frequency shift of LAM1 due to the interlayer coupling and the heavier endmasses. Calculation of the intermolecular coupling constant of the model of a long row of linear chain molecules with the same frequency shift yield the mean value fl = 2.5 N/m. This value decreases with increasing chain length. The relevance and applicability of the model is discussed. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notizen: Advances in the field of membrane gas separation over the past decade have encouraged the search for even better polymers and membranes for gas separation. They also have motivated studies on the relationship between the structure and the gas transport properties of different classes of polymers. Interest has recently been demonstrated in the literature in norbornene polymers with different side groups. These polymers can easily be prepared via ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) of norbornene (bicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-ene) derivatives. So far, information on the microstructure of the polymers is scarce, so little is known about the influence of stereochemistry and tacticity of the polymer on gas separation properties. In this work, we present gas permeability and selectivity data for stereoregular unsubstituted polynorbornene. It will be shown that a high order of tacticity has a positive effect on both permeation and separation results. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notizen: Superdrawn fibers of an elastomer-poly(oxymethylene) (POM) blend have been prepared and investigated in terms of the structure and mechanical properties. The development of the mechanical properties along the fiber axis and the formation of a higher order structure during drawing were slightly retarded by blending, but the loop tenacity increased greatly with the elastomer content. The blend microtextures had an immiscible and phase-separated morphology in which the elastomer was dispersed in the form of streaks between the oriented POM layers, which allowed the fiber to split into smaller filaments on bending. The high loop tenacity of the blend fibers is due to an increase in the radius of curvature resulting from the filament splitting on bending, because the shear stress at the bending corner becomes higher as the radius of curvature increases. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notizen: The mechanical and dielectric relaxation of a set of aromatic-aliphatic polyamides containing ether linkages have been examined as a function of temperature (-140 to 190°C) and frequency (3 to 106 Hz). The polymers differ in the orientation (meta and para) of the aromatic rings, in the length of the aliphatic chain, and in the number of ether linkages per repeating unit. Dynamic mechanical experiments showed three main relaxation peaks related to the glass transition temperature of the polymers (α relaxation), the subglass relaxations associated to the absorbed water molecules (β) and to the motion of the aliphatic moieties (γ). Dielectric experiments showed two subglass relaxation processes (β and γ) that correlates with the mechanical β and γ relaxations, and a conduction process (σ) above 50°C that masks the relaxation associated to the glass transition. A molecular interpretation is attempted to explain the position and intensity of the relaxation, studying the influence of the proportion of para- or meta- oriented phenylene rings, the presence of ether linkages and the length of the aliphatic chain. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notizen: The relaxation behavior of six fluorinated aromatic poly(ethers) was investigated using dynamic mechanical analysis. The glass transition temperature was found to increase as the size and rigidity of linking groups increased and varied between 168°C for a dimethyl linking group and 300°C for a bicyclic benzoate ether-linking group. For the α-relaxation the steepness of time/temperature plots and broadness of the loss curves could be qualitatively correlated with chemical structure in a manner predicted by the coupling model of relaxation. Well-separated sub-Tg transitions were also observed, as a shoulder on the low temperature side of the α-peak, and as a broad, low loss transition around -100°C. The higher temperature process was similar to the structural relaxation often found in quenched glassy polymers, while the position, intensity, and breadth of the subambient process was sensitive to chemical structure. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notizen: The scaling predictions for the temperature dependence of the intrinsic viscosity of flexible polymers are briefly reviewed. When the predictions are fit to a power law over a fixed range of chain length, a relation between the exponent and prefactor of the Mark-Houwink-Sakurada equation emerges. In comparing with the experimental data compilation of Rai and Rosen, we conclude that real polymer systems are nowhere near the true good solvent limit, even when the exponent matches the good solvent prediction. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notizen: Specimens of styrene-butadiene-styrene (SBS) block copolymers, Kraton D-1102, were prepared by solution casting using three different solvents: toluene, cyclohexane, and a mixture of tetrahydrofuran and methyl ethyl ketone (THF/MEK). Measurements of fracture energies of SBS specimens were carried out at various temperatures and rates using two methods (i.e., a conventional tear test and a recently developed cutting test). Effect of casting solvent on the fracture energy was investigated as well. It was found that stick-slip tearing dominates at low temperatures (-50 ∼20°C). Tear strength increased with decreasing temperature. Eventually, a value of 180 kJ/m2 was reached at -70°C, close to the glass transition temperature of polybutadiene phase. At temperatures higher than 20°C, however, steady tearing was found and the tear strength gradually decreased with increasing temperature. Tear strength was virtually zero at 100°C, above the glass transition temperature of polystyrene phase. Effect of temperature on tear strength is more pronounced than that of tearing rate. In contrast, the intrinsic strength of SBS block copolymers determined from cutting test remains unchanged, about 570 J/m2, over a wide range of temperatures and rates. Specimens cast from THF/MEK solution exhibit yielding phenomena when stretched. Moreover, they possess a relatively larger tear strength, compared to those cast from either toluene or cyclohexane solution. A more continuous polystyrene phase is expected to develop in THF/MEK as-cast specimens which is believed to account for the large tear strength. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notizen: Copolymer compositions and reactivity ratios for the radical copolymerization of styrene with acrylonitrile have been determined by x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The results obtained by this technique were confirmed by elemental as well as 1H-NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance) analysis. The monomer sequence distributions have also been calculated utilizing the monomer reactivity ratio values obtained by three different techniques viz., XPS, 1H-NMR, and elemental analysis. The agreement between the monomer sequence distributions in the copolymer chain by these methods is very satisfactory. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Polym Sci B: Polym Phys 35: 2049-2056, 1997

    Notizen: Copolymers of N,N-dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate (DMAEMA) and acrylamide (AAm) were prepared to demonstrate a temperature-induced phase transition. Poly DMAEMA has a lower critical solution temperature (LCST) around 50°C in water. With copolymerization of DMAEMA with AAm, the LCST shifts to the lower temperature was observed, probably due to the formation of hydrogen bonds between amide and N,N-dimethylamino groups. FT-IR studies clearly show the formation of hydrogen bonds which protect N,N-dimethylamino groups from exposure to water and result in a hydrophobic contribution to the LCST. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notizen: An acrylic polymer containing acid and anhydride units, referred to as reactive polyglutarimide (RPGI), has been used to react with PC. The reaction has been previously determined as an acidolysis of the carbonate bond which breaks the PC chain in two parts. One of those two parts remains free while the other one is grafted on the acrylic backbone. We have found that the anhydride units could also react with the carbonate bonds. In this case the PC macromolecule would also be broken in two parts, which would, however, both be grafted on the acrylic backbone. The reaction has been performed in solution in order to keep good contact between the reacting units. The influence of temperature and concentration on the grafting ratio has been studied. The best experimental conditions were determined in order to obtain a grafted copolymer where the acrylic backbone only supports, on the average, one PC side chain through acid reaction or two PC chains through anhydride reaction. Indeed, these two types of reactions could not be isolated. The efficiency of this copolymer as emulsifier has been studied in solution cast blends as well as in melt mixed blends. The copolymer strongly affects the microstructure in solution cast blends where films containing 30 wt % of PC have become transparent. However, the dispersed phase size of solvent cast blends could be highly influenced by the casting conditions related to solvent trapping. In melt mixed samples, the copolymer also reduces significantly the dispersed phase size, but no transparent blends have been observed so far. These results were compared with those given in the literature describing the efficiency of a synthesized copolymer which has a more complicated structure. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notizen: Microcalorimetry was used to study the thermal polymerization and the structural instabilities in hydrogenated (pTS-H) and deuterated (pTS-D) diacetylene 2,4-hexadiynylene bis(p-toluenesulfonate). In the induction period, the polymerization reaction proceeds about seven times faster in pTS-D than in pTS-H. Whereas the phase transitions of pure pTS-H and pTS-D monomer crystals and of pure pTS-H and pTS-D polymer crystals are very similar, the situation is completely different for mixed monomer-polymer crystals of pTS-H and pTS-D. The results are interpreted by studying comparative influence of the chain lengths for pTS-H and pTS-D oligomers. A comparison is made between these results and previous experimental results obtained from dielectric measurements, UV-spectroscopy, X-ray, and elastic neutron scattering. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notizen: The conformation of amphiphilic branch chain in a new type of copolymer surfactants on interface was studied. The results of laser light scattering demonstrated that the branch chain can only lie on the air/water interface. By means of XPS measurement with variable angles, the molecular conformations in different thickness of the copolymer layer were obtained. Depending on the chemical nature of the copolymer surfactants, the oxyethylene segments of the branch chains will have loop-train, train, or loop molecule conformations on the surface. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notizen: Saturated hydrocarbon polymers may be differentiated by the relative amount and placement of methylene, methyl, methine, and quaternary carbon moieties. While it has been known or suspected for some time that polyolefins of conventional molecular weight (Mw ≈ 100 kg/mol) with dissimilar chemical microstructures are most often immiscible in the liquid state, recent experiments with binary blends of model polyolefins have increased greatly our understanding of thermodynamic interactions between unlike chains. Model systems with methyl (-CH3) and ethyl (-C2H5) short-chain branches give results, expressed as the Flory-Huggins interaction parameter χ, that are nearly universal; repulsive interactions (χ 〉 0) are more pronounced at low temperatures, leading to liquid-liquid phase separation at an upper critical solution temperature. Phase behavior of more complex systems (with distributions of chain microstructures and/or molecular weight) is generally consistent with predictions from model systems. An interesting exception is from work at Bristol on blends of lightly branched ethylene - α-olefin copolymers with unbranched polyethylene as the minority species. Here the presence of two liquid phases is inferred under conditions not expected from model studies; effects of copolymer composition and molecular weight are also unusual. Recent theoretical work points to the importance of chain stiffness (established by short-chain branching) in determining the thermodynamics of model blends. Nonrandom mixing of chains with different stiffness gives rise to an enthalpic χ, which may be negative under certain conditions. Other limitations of the Flory-Huggins approach to describing blend energetics are considered. At present there is no theoretical basis for liquid-liquid phase separation reported by the Bristol group. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Polym Sci B: Polym Phys 35: 2329-2353, 1997

    Notizen: The evolution of structure, and thermal and dynamic mechanical properties of a liquid crystalline epoxy during curing has been studied with differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), polarized optical microscopy, x-ray scattering, and dynamic mechanical analysis. The liquid crystalline epoxy was the diglycidyl ether of 4,4′-dihydroxy-α-methylstilbene (DGEDHMS). Two curing agents were used in this study: a di-functional amine, the aniline adduct of DGEDHMS, and a tetra-functional sulfonamido amine, sulfanilamide. The effects of curing agent, cure time, and cure temperature have been investigated. Isothermal curing of the liquid crystalline epoxy with the di-functional amine and the tetra-functional sulfonamido amine causes an increase in the mesophase stability of the liquid crystalline epoxy resin. The curing also leads to various liquid crystalline textures, depending on the curing agent and cure temperature. These textures coarsen during the isothermal curing. Moreover, curing with both curing agents results in a layered structure with mesogenic units aligned perpendicular to the layer surfaces. The layer thickness decreases with cure temperature for the systems cured with the tetra-functional curing agent. The glass transition temperature of the cured networks rises with increasing cure temperature due to the increased crosslink density. The shear modulus of the cured networks shows a strong temperature dependence. However, it does not change appreciably with cure temperature. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notizen: The aim of this study was to investigate the micro structure of the transcrystalline interphase, obtained under isothermal conditions, in polyethylene-based single-polymer microcomposites. Analysis of the angular distribution of intensity in the X-ray diffraction patterns, obtained from transcrystalline layers of varying thickness, indicate that the transcrystalline growth most probably starts epitaxially with the c-axis of the orthorhombic unit cell aligned in the fiber axis direction. In the growth stage that follows, the lamellae twist as the crystals grow outward from the fiber surface, with the c-axis exhibiting variable angles with respect to the fiber axis for different transcrystalline layer thicknesses. The calculations based on the X-ray diffraction results, suggest that the pitch of the lamellar twist is 28.6 micrometers. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Polym Sci B: Polym Phys 35: 2429-2433, 1997

    Notizen: The Flory-Huggins interaction parameters χ for 23 gases (He, Ne, Ar, Kr, Xe, H2, N2, O2, N2O, CO2, CH4, C2H4, C2H6, C3H6, C3H8, 1,3-C4H6, four C4H8's, n-C4H10, iso-C4H10, and n-C5H12) in five rubbery polymers (1,2-polybutadiene (PB), poly(ethylene-co-vinyl acetate)) (EVAc), polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), and poly(dimethyl siloxane) (PDMS) were determined from either literature data on Henry's law coefficient and partial molar volume or those on sorptive dilation for each polymer/gas system. Values of χ for the gases increased in the order of PDMS 〈 PP ≡ PB 〈 EVAc ≡ PE. Among the gases except He and H2 whose χ values are not reliable, Ne and Xe have respectively the highest and the lowest values of χ for the polyolefins. The χ values of the hydrocarbons were compared together with previously reported χ values of n-alkanes C3-C10. The dependencies of χ upon concentration and temperature were discussed on the basis of the literature data. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Polym Sci B: Polym Phys 35: 1049-1053, 1997

    Notizen: Miscibility behavior of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) [PHB]/poly(vinylidene chloride-co-acrylonitrile) [P(VDC-AN)] blends have been investigated by differential scanning calorimetry and optical microscopy. Each blend showed a single Tg, and a large melting point depression of PHB. All the blends containing more than 40% PHB showed linear spherulitic growth behavior and the growth rate decreased with P(VDC-AN) content. The interaction parameter χ12, obtained from melting point depression analysis, gave the value of -0.267 for the PHB/P(VDC-AN) blends. All results presented in this article lead to the conclusion that PHB/P(VDC-AN) blends are completely miscible in all proportions from a thermodynamic viewpoint. The miscibility in these blends is ascribed to the specific molecular interaction involving the carbonyl groups of PHB. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Polym Sci B: Polym Phys 35: 2645-2652, 1997

    Notizen: Hygrothermal aging at elevated temperatures tends to induce degradation in epoxy resins. To predict the effects of this degradation, a knowledge of absorption and transport behavior of water is needed. In this work, a model material (DGEBA/DDA) has been employed to study the water absorption and absorption/desorption behavior during hygrothermal aging at 90°C, accompanied by degradation. The absorption results show an weight increase during the initial aging period followed by a decrease at later times. Absorption/desorption results show a similar phenomenon but with a net, overall weight loss after a certain period of aging. By assuming that water diffusion is approximately Fickian and that degradation of the resin is mainly caused by hydrolysis reactions, a model has been developed to describe the above-observed phenomena. Results show that the model is in good agreement with experimental data. Moreover, the model proposed can be used to estimate the average molecular weight of the intercrosslink chains after aging. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notizen: The conformational mode change of the stiff alkylated polymer, poly(3-dodecyl thiophene) (PDDT), with a flexible comb-like coil poly(octadecyl acrylate) (PODA), and the effect of intermolecular interaction between these two alkylated polymers with different chemical structure of the backbone were investigated using UV-Vis spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimeter (DSC), and wide-angle x-ray diffraction (WAXD). In addition to the characteristics of thermochromism, a homogeneous one phase was observed above 175°C when the PODA content was 10 wt % or less. Increased conductivity in the PDDT/PODA blend due to the highly conjugated π-system of PDDT backbone was observed in the presence of nonelectroactive PODA. A red-shift of absorption maximum of PDDT/PODA blend observed in solid state at room temperature. From the FTIR spectra, the gauche-trans conformational structure change of methylene units was investigated in two alkylated polymer blends. The increase of combined heat of fusion of the alkyl side chain melting of PDDT and the endothermic peak of PODA, as well as the interlayer d-spacing of PDDT main chain were also observed with the addition of PODA in blends. A more ordered conformational structure of rigid rod backbone of PDDT was induced due to the attractive intermolecular interaction which can cause cocrystallization between the alkylated side chains of two polymers. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notizen: Longitudinal relaxation of proton magnetisation was used to characterize the molecular motions of PEO chains in compatible PEO (hydrogenated)/PMMA (deuterated) blends. Both the temperature and the PEO concentration, Φ, were varied. A maximum in the spin-lattice relaxation rate was observed and its properties were analyzed as a function of Φ. For Φ ≤ 0.50, the maximum is observed below the glass transition temperature of the blend; this shows that PEO chains dispersed in a matrix of PMMA remain highly mobile on a local scale even below Tg(Φ). A frequency-temperature correspondence procedure, applied to the measurements performed at two Larmor frequencies, 32 and 60 MHz, leads to a characteristic correlation time for PEO molecular motions. Its temperature dependence obeys a WLF free volume relation above the glass transition of the blends. The PEO free volume fraction and its thermal expansion are strongly reduced by the presence of the PMMA chains. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Polym Sci B: Polym Phys 35: 1095-1105, 1997

    Notizen: Raman longitudinal acoustic mode (LAM) spectra have been obtained during isothermal crystallization from the melt at various temperatures of a poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) fraction of molecular weight about 3000 and an α,ω-methoxylated fraction (MPEO) derived from it. For both fractions, we find that noninteger fold (NIF) chains are formed in the initial stages of crystallization. With time, and more rapidly at higher crystallization temperatures, the NIF chains transform into integer-fold (IF) structures. The final morphologies of the two fractions are similar, consisting of IF mixed-crystal lamellae composed mainly of extended (E) chains with embedded once-folded (F2) chains. This solid-state transformation from the NIF state may proceed through the F2 state. The effect of hydrogen bonds in the case of PEO is not to change the transformation process but to slow it when compared to MPEO. Comparison with small-angle x-ray scattering (SAXS) data indicates that in both cases the NIF chains are tilted to the lamellar surface and that the tilt from perpendicular eventually disappears as IF chains form at the later stages of crystallization. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notizen: Argon glow discharge-induced vapor-phase grafting of vinyl monomers containing various polar pendant groups onto PE films was investigated. Relationships between the enhanced wetting properties and the level of grafting, the types of pendant groups, and the surface topographical features were established. Improved wettability of the grafted PE surfaces is attributed to both the increased surface polarity and topographical features. On AA-grafted PE surfaces with optimal wettability, microcracks, with depths of 130 ∼ 250 nm, lengths over 10 µm, and widths between 1.5 and 6.0 µm, are proved to be a topographical feature necessary for improved wettability. With sufficient microcracks, grafting with vinyl monomers containing carbonyl groups, i.e., carboxyl, aldehyde, and ketone groups, improved surface wetting more than grafting with those containing either hydroxyl and epoxy groups. The acquired wettability of vinyl monomer-grafted PE surface is attributed to the physicochemical synergism between the microcracks and the polar groups. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notizen: We report the results of detailed investigations of polymer-water interactions and of the organization of water in the poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO)/water system by dielectric techniques. They include thermally stimulated depolarization currents (TSDC) techniques in the temperature range of 77-300 K and broadband dielectric relaxation spectroscopy (DRS) techniques of frequencies, 5 Hz-10 GHz, and temperatures, 173-300 K. The water content h was varied between 0 and 1.21 (grams of water per gram of dry PEO). The secondary γ mechanism of PEO and the reorientation of absorbed water molecules were extensively studied. The γ mechanism was found to be plasticized up to water contents of about 0.20. The reorientation of water molecules was studied in three different experiments and frequency/temperature regions. The results suggest strong interactions in the PEO/water system and indicate the presence of a separate water phase at high water contents. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notizen: Transition and relaxation processes of polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), and polystyrene (PS) were studied by the positron annihilation technique. From measurements of lifetime spectra of positrons as a function of temperature, the lifetime of ortho-positronium, τ3, and its intensity, I3, were found to increase above 260 K for PP. This fact was attributed to a cooperative motion of large segments of molecules above the glass transition temperature, Tg. For PE, above Tg (140 K), the value of τ3 increased, but the temperature coefficient of I3 was negative below 230 K. From this fact, for PE, the molecular motions that cause the glass transition were associated with a rearrangement of molecules by local motions such as kink motions. The discrepancy between the results for PE and PP was attributed to the presence of methyl groups in PP and the resultant suppression of the local motions. For PS (Tg = 340 K), the molecular motions were found to start above 260 K, but those were suppressed by an interphenyl correlation. Detailed annihilation characteristics of positrons in polymers were also discussed. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Polym Sci B: Polym Phys 35: 1601-1609, 1997

    Notizen: Extensive thermal and relaxational behavior in the blends of linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) (1-octene comonomer) with low-density polyethylene (LDPE) and high-density polyethylene (HDPE) have been investigated to elucidate miscibility and molecular relaxations in the crystalline and amorphous phases by using a differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) and a dynamic mechanical thermal analyzer (DMTA). In the LLDPE/LDPE blends, two distinct endotherms during melting and crystallization by DSC were observed supporting the belief that LLDPE and LDPE exclude one another during crystallization. However, the dynamic mechanical β and γ relaxations of the blends indicate that the two constituents are miscible in the amorphous phase, while LLDPE dominates α relaxation. In the LLDPE/HDPE system, there was a single composition-dependent peak during melting and crystallization, and the heat of fusion varied linearly with composition supporting the incorporation of HDPE into the LLDPE crystals. The dynamic mechanical α, β, and γ relaxations of the blends display an intermediate behavior that indicates miscibility in both the crystalline and amorphous phases. In the LDPE/HDPE blend, the melting or crystallization peaks of LDPE were strongly influenced by HDPE. The behavior of the α relaxation was dominated by HDPE, while those of β and γ relaxations were intermediate of the constituents, which were similar to those of the LLDPE/HDPE blends. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notizen: The kinetics of chain polymerization is investigated for the case of a complicating side reaction. In addition to the polymerization reaction, Ai + M → Ai+1, there is a reversible side reaction, Ai + Q ↔ Bi. Initiation is assumed to be instantaneous. The monomer concentration M, and the concentration of the reacting species Q, are assumed to be constant. The reaction kinetics are solved exactly, yielding the distribution of living and dormant polymer, as well as the molecular weight distribution, as explicit functions of the reaction rate constants and the time. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notizen: The newly available, strictly uniform n-alkane, C246H494, has been crystallized from dilute solution. The rates of crystallization were followed by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) as a function of temperature. Two pronounced rate inversions were registered. The dissolution temperatures of the crystals formed show a sharp discontinuity at the temperature of the rate minimum. From this it is inferred (reinforced by the precedent of previous work on C198H398) that a transition from extended to once folded crystallization is taking place at the temperature of the minimum. The methods by which the rate curves were constructed are laid out in step by step detail, leaving no possible doubt about the reality of the rate inversion. The rate inversion is attributed to “self-poisoning,” and this concept is extended to embrace the wider issue of mutually interacting competition of possible phase variants (“polymorphs”) of which the extended and folded chain crystals represent one special example. In addition, some further effects are noted and discussed regarding solubility behavior. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Polym Sci B: Polym Phys 35: 1775-1791, 1997

    Notizen: Recent data on comparative osmotic deswelling of poly(acrylic acid) gels and solutions shows that the difference between osmotic pressure of the gel and of the solution, Pgel (c, f) - Psolution (c, f), taken at equal polymer concentration (c) and fraction of the ionized acrylic acid monomers (f), changes its sign from negative to positive as the concentration c increases; this effect is enhanced with increasing f whereby it is shifted toward lower concentrations. In order to explain this effect, a model is suggested for the elastic pressure of the gel network which takes into account the effect of topological constraints combined with the effect of network ionization. According to the model, the sign-change of Pgel - Psolution originates from the topological constraints on conformations of the network; the ionization of the network chains enhances this effect and shifts it to the concentration range of the experiment. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notizen: We have developed a pulsed photothermal radiometry technique for determining the thermal diffusivity parallel to the surface of a polymer film that involves flashing a line-shaped laser beam on the surface of the sample at right angle to its length, and monitoring the temperature change with time at a distance from the line source using an infrared detector. Combining this with our previous laser-flash radiometry method for thermal diffusivity measurement perpendicular to the film surface, we can now measure the thermal diffusivity of a polymer film along all directions. These two techniques have been used to study uniaxially and biaxially oriented poly(ethylene terephalate) and uniaxially drawn ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene films. For uniaxially oriented poly(ethylene terephalate), the thermal diffusivity along the draw direction is substantially higher than that in the transverse direction, which in turn, is slightly higher than that in the thickness direction. For a polyethylene film with a draw ratio of 200, the axial thermal diffusivity is extremely high, being about five times that of stainless steel. The anisotropy of the thermal diffusivity of this film exceeds 90. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Polym Sci B: Polym Phys 35: 1621-1631, 1997

    Notizen: We present a new method to interpret data obtained by Brillouin-scattering from oriented networks. Because in rubberlike samples the transverse sound waves are normally not observable, it is not possible to extract the complete set of elastic constants. We will show that by combining a model of the orientation process with the lattice-model from Kondo and Igarashi, force constants can be determined from the sound velocities. These force constants can be discussed in terms of molecular conformations and interactions. The anisotropic hypersound velocity was measured in polyurethane- and polysiloxane networks. With the help of the combined orientation-lattice-model evaluation, different kinds of forces can be distinguished. By comparing the force constants with Raman- or infrared spectroscopic data, information about the conformation of the polymer chains can be determined. The effective force constants of the segments are an order of magnitude lower than that of the polymer main chains and the ratio of force constants along and between the segments lies between 1 : 1 to 5 : 1. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notizen: The physical structure of poly(methylphenyl) silane (PMPS) has been investigated using wide-angle x-ray scattering at various temperatures and optical polarizing microscopy. The results obtained by these techniques clearly show the existence of an ordered phase in PMPS. The crystallinity of our sample was estimated to be about 10% at room temperature. Below 190°C, the atactic chains pack into a monoclinic crystalline lattice of near hexagonal symmetry, with two types of disorder existing in the packing. At about 190°C, a phase transition to a liquid crystalline columnar hexagonal packing (Dho) occurs. Finally, the sample melts into an isotropic amorphous phase. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notizen: The melting behavior of isothermally crystallized PET has been studied using linear heating in a differential scanning calorimeter (DSC). Variables such as crystallization temperature, crystallization time, heating rate, and average molecular weight are the main focus of the study. On the basis of several experimental techniques, a correlation of the melting behavior of PET with the amount of secondary crystallization was found to exist. It was observed that the triple melting of PET is a function of programmable DSC variables such as crystallization temperature, crystallization time, and heating rate. However, in testing the hypothesis that there was a correlation between melting endotherms and secondary crystallization inside spherulites, it was found necessary to use a DSC-independent variable in order to enhance the observed effects. Therefore, on the basis of a crystallization model that involves secondary branching along the edges of parent lamellar structures, it was speculated that an increase in the average molecular weight could affect the triple melting of PET due to an increase of rejected portions of the macromolecules. It was found that the second melting endotherm increased, apparently, at the expense of the third one as the average molecular weight was increased. The second melting endotherm was also found to correlate proportionally with the amount of secondary crystallization inside spherulites. The results support a model of crystallization which basically consists of parent crystals and at least one population of secondary, probably metastable, crystals. This latter structural component must involve excluded portions of the macromolecules that did not crystallize during the isothermal crystallization period of the parent crystals. An increase of molecular weight gives rise to a higher entanglement density which in turn increases the fraction of initially rejected chain sections and therefore the amount of secondary crystallization. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notizen: Polyaniline, synthesized by using potassium dichromate as the oxidant, was doped with iodine in order to increase its electrical conductivity. The iodine-doped polyanilines attained a conductivity of 1.83 × 10-3 S/cm, which was about eight orders of magnitude greater than that of intrinsic polyaniline. The iodine-doped polyanilines did not absorb moisture readily when compared to the protonic-acid-doped polyanilines. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) results indicated that iodine-doping reactions occurred at the N-atoms in the quinoid structural units of the polyaniline molecular chains and consequently formed the charge transfer complexes. The iodine in the iodine-doped polyanilines existed mainly in the forms of I-3 and I-5 anions. As the doping level increased, the relative content of I-5 anions increased. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) results showed that there was about 6 wt % of iodine strongly bonded to the polyanilines since they would not evolve even at the structural decomposition temperatures of the polymer backbones. Wide-angle x-ray diffraction spectroscopy (WAXD) results revealed that the intrinsic polyaniline was an amorphous polymer but the regularity of polyaniline chains increased after iodine-doping. The iodine-doped polyanilines also showed a decrease in thermal stability. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Polym Sci B: Polym Phys 35: 1993-2001, 1997

    Notizen: The kinetics of the isothermal polymerization of acrylic acid were determined utilizing 1H-NMR spectroscopy. The polymerization rate was observed to depend approximately on the \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$ \frac{3}{2} $\end{document} power of monomer and the \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$ \frac{1}{2} $\end{document} power of sodium persulfate concentration. This is consistent with a model in which the rate of initiation is itself dependent on the monomer concentration. The polymerization rate was also observed to have a strong dependence on percent neutralization, decreasing with increasing level of neutralization up to 75 to 100% neutralization, and then increasing again. The activation energy for the rate of polymerization was between 9 and 13 kcal/mol except for 100% neutralized acrylic acid, which had an activation energy of 18 kcal/mol. These data suggest that a transition in mechanism occurred at 100% neutralization. Increasing the ionic strength by the addition of sodium chloride also increased the rate. The dependence of the molecular weight on the above variables was also quantified for use in the model. It decreased with increasing conversion, decreasing ionic strength and increasing initiator. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Polym Sci B: Polym Phys 35: 2029-2047, 1997

    Notizen: The curing characteristics of a brominated epoxy resin/dicyandiamide (DICY) system filled with silane-treated glass beads are studied using isothermal differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Three different silane coupling agents, N-(2-aminoethyl)-3-aminopropyl-trimethoxysilane, N-[2-(vinylbenzylamino)-ethyl]-3-aminopropyl-trimethoxysilane, and 3-glycidoxypropyl-trimethoxysilane, are applied. It is found that the reaction heats of the epoxy system are little affected by the curing temperature and the untreated glass fillers, but changed with the addition of silane-coated glass beads. The effect of glass beads on the curing reaction is more significant at the low curing temperature and conversion. The silane treatment results in changes in Tg, activation energy, reaction heat, reaction rate, and reaction order. Three silanes respond differently because of their differences in the activated reaction with the matrix system. Regardless of the various curing mechanisms involved, a simple kinetic expression can describe the curing extent at 170 and 180°C with a good accuracy for all systems studied. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notizen: The film-forming ability of latex blends (hard latex + soft latex) and the mechanical behavior at finite strain of latex blend films (soft matrix with tough inclusions) has been investigated. The maximum weight fraction of hard latex particles (φmax) which still gives rise to transparent and crack-free films has been used as film-forming ability criterion. It was shown that when the Tg of the soft latex is low (Tg(soft) 〈 0°C), φmax is constant and equal to 0.55 because the film-forming ability is controlled by contacts between hard particles. Nevertheless, the expected effect of Tg(soft) on film-forming ability is observed (i.e., φmax decreases when Tg(soft) increases) when Tg(soft) is above 0°C. From the mechanical behavior point of view, it was shown that the two main parameters controlling the mechanical behavior of latex blend films are: the mechanical properties of the soft polymer because it represents the continuous matrix and the weight fraction of hard latex particles since they enhance the local deformation of matrix under load. However, it was also proven that debounding between the Tg latex particles and low Tg matrix occurs rapidly (at an elongation ratio ≈ 30%) during uniaxial strain experiments and has to be taken into account in order to gain a thorough understanding of the mechanical behavior of these biphasic films. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notizen: The novel polyetherethersulfone (PES-C) prepared from phenol-phthalein in our institute is an amorphous, rigid, tough material with good mechanical properties over a wide temperature range. To improve its water vapor permeability for the application of gas drying, the PES-C was sulfonated with concentrated sulfuric acid and transferred in sodium, cupric, and ferric salt forms. The sulfonation degree can be regulated by controlling the temperature and reaction time. Characterization of sulfonated PES-C in sodium form was made by IR. Some properties of the sulfonated PES-C, such as solubility, glass transition temperature, thermal stability, mechanical properties, and transport properties to nitrogen and water vapor have also been discussed. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notizen: The miscibility of polycarbonate PC and poly(butylene terephthalate) PBT is controversially discussed in the literature. Partial miscibility has been generally found in melt blends of the two polymers. However, in solution cast blends they were found to be immiscible. It is known that the transesterification takes place in the melt. Copolyesters formed by the transesterification change the compatibility of PC and PBT. In this work PC/PBT melt blends of various composition were investigated in dependence on the copolyester content by means of DSC and NMR. It can be shown that the time regime of the thermal treatment in the melt determines the transesterification degree. The PBT crystallization behavior is strongly influenced by both the PC and copolyester content. The glass transition temperatures of the PBT-rich and PC-rich phase approach each other with the increasing copolyester content. The analysis of the glass transition behavior permits the conclusion that PC and PBT are inherently immiscible provided that the copolyester content is exactly zero. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notizen: The structural relaxation process in styrene-acrylonitrile copolymer has been characterized by means of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) experiments. The results in the form of heat capacity, cp(T), curves are analyzed using a model for the evolution of the configurational entropy during the process recently proposed by the authors.11,12 The model simulation allows one to determine the enthalpy (or entropy) structural relaxation times and the β parameter of the Kohlrausch-Williams-Watts equation characterizing the width of the distribution of relaxation times. This material parameters are compared with their analogues determined from the dielectric and dynamic-mechanical relaxation processes. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notizen: The crystallization behavior of polyetheretherketone (PEEK), polyoxymethylene (POM), polyethyleneterephtalate (PET), and polypropylene (PP) under nonisothermal conditions has been studied. Differential scanning calorimetry was used to monitor crystallization from the melt and a kinetic model has been proposed to describe three-dimensional spherulitic crystal growth. The model, which accounts for crystalline growth rate, uses two modified Avrami equations to represent both heterogeneous and homogeneous nucleation and growth processes. The model parameters are all associated with physical constants. The predicted evolution of absolute crystallinity showed good agreement with experimentally obtained values for a wide range of cooling rates. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notizen: A semiinterpenetrating polymer network (IPN) containing 72 wt % polyurethane (PU) and 6 wt % poly(methylacrylate-co-styrene) [P(MA-St)] was coated onto surfaces of regenerated cellulose (RC) film, which was prepared by coagulating a cellulose cuoxam from bagasse pulp. The interfacial structures, bonding manner, and the strength of the coated film were studied by infrared (IR),13C nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), differential thermal analysis (DTA), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and electron probe microscopy analysis (EPMA). It was shown that the RC film coated with PU/P(MA-St) has strong interfacial interactions, where covalent and hydrogen bonds are formed across the interface between cellulose and the PU/P(MA-St) coating. The interfacial structure of the coated film is regarded as a shared PU network crosslinked simultaneously with P(MA-St) and cellulose film. The tensile strength, water resistivity, and optical transmission of the coated films were considerably higher than that of the uncoated films. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notizen: In previous work we have shown that the stable form of syndiotactic polypropylene (sPP) adopts a fully antichiral packing in its crystalline lattice. At the same time, we had also discovered a number of prohibited reflections from crystallographic planes with a c-axis component, indicating distortions or defects along the molecular-chain direction and possible departures from the ideal Ibca unit-cell structure. Three studies that appeared in 1996 have proposed a number of possible minimized structures to explore the energetics of departure from such an ideal Ibca symmetry and to account for the prohibited reflections. Two of the studies were based upon energy minimization of the unit cell using empirical or spectroscopically derived force fields. The third model was based upon Rietveld refinement of the bulk X-ray diffractogram combined with ad hoc choices of space groups selected to reproduce the prohibited reflections, and results in a structure with minimal departures from Ibca. In the present article we examine the structural implications of all these models on various reciprocal-lattice sections of sPP by comparing calculated electron-diffraction patterns for appropriate zones with those we obtained experimentally from single crystals. We find that none of the proposed models fully accounts for the experimental data. One of the energy-minimized models (involving translation along the molecular axis) and the Rietveld-refined structure reproduce some of the observed reflections but are not in agreement with observed intensities and introduce additional unobserved reflections or other artifacts. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notizen: Two types of polyimide membranes; one crosslinkable and the other noncrosslinkable using ultraviolet light irradiation (UV irradiation), were prepared and investigated concerning the effect of UV irradiation on their gas permeabilities and selectivities. Permeability and diffusion coefficients for O2, N2, H2, and CO2 were determined using the vacuum pressure and time lag method. Sorption properties for carbon dioxide were carried out to evaluate the changes in the free volume in the membranes due to the irradiation. In both membranes, permeability coefficients for all gases used in this study decreased and permselectivity, particularly for H2 over N2, increased with increasing UV irradiation time without a significant decrease in the flux of H2. The coefficients depended on the membrane thickness, suggesting asymmetrical changes in both membranes due to UV irradiation. It was suggested by an attenuated total reflection (ATR) FTIR method and analysis of the gas sorption properties of the membranes that the physical changes due to UV irradiation at the irradiated side in both membranes significantly affected their gas permeation properties compared with the chemical changes, especially the crosslinking in the crosslinkable type. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notizen: The breaking thread and the sessile drop methods have been used to evaluate the interfacial tension between a polypropylene (PP) and a polyethylene-terephthalate (PET). An excellent correlation was found between the two. The breaking thread technique was then used to evaluate the interfacial tension of these blends at various levels of a styrene-ethylene butylene-styrene grafted with maleic anhydride (SEBS-g-MA) compatibilizer. In order to evaluate the relative roles of coalescence and interfacial tension in controlling dispersed phase size reduction during compatibilization, the morphology of PP/PET 1/99 and 10/90 blends compatibilized by a SEBS-g-MA were studied and compared. The samples were prepared in a Brabender mixer. For the 10/90 blend, the addition of the compatibilizer leads to a typical emulsification curve, and a decrease in dispersed phase size of 3.4 times is observed. For the 1/99 blend, a 1.7 times reduction in particle size is observed. In the latter case, this decrease can only be attributed to the decrease of the interfacial tension. It is evident from these results that the drop in particle size for the 10/90 PP/PET blend after compatibilization is almost equally due to diminished coalescence and interfacial tension reduction. These results were corroborated with the interfacial tension data in the presence of the copolymer. A direct relationship between the drop in dispersed phase size for the 1/99 PP/PET blend and the interfacial tension reduction was found for this predominantly shear mixing device. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notizen: For thin elastic films of crosslinked polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), the tensile modulus was found to be an increasing function of reciprocal thickness over the whole range of elongations. PDMS films between 0.052 and 0.018 mm were investigated. With decreasing film thickness, surface properties may be expected to increasingly contribute to the measured modulus. For small elongations, surface tension is expected to have no effect or to decrease the measured modulus compared with that of a bulk sample. If a surface layer with a modulus greater than that of the bulk modulus is assumed to exist, then the observed increase in modulus with decreasing film thickness can be explained. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notizen: Matrix Assisted Laser Desorption Ionization (MALDI) Time of Flight (TOF) Mass Spectrometry (MS) was used to study the molecular weight distribution (MWD) and the number of α-methyl styrene (α-MeSty) repeat units in SRM 1487, a narrow MWD poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) standard reference material of about 6300 g/mol, which was initiated with α-MeSty. It was found that each PMMA polymer chain had from zero to seven α-MeStys per chain. The MWD of the polymer chains containing a fixed number of α-MeStys was obtained. The MWD, Mw, and the average number of α-MeSty at a given molecular weight from MALDI TOF MS compare well with those obtained from more traditional methods such as ultracentrifugation and Size Exclusion Chromatography (SEC). The implications of the number of α-MeStys per chain is discussed in terms of the chemistry of anionic polymerization. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Polym Sci B: Polym Phys 35: 2409-2419, 1997

    Notizen: An experimental method to determine interphase composition profiles in amorphous polymers pairs and polymer-solvent pairs is presented. The method is based on the measurement of dynamic mechanical properties of slender composite beams, and well-established properties of amorphous polymer homogeneous blends and solutions. The method does not require tracers. A simple calibration procedure is included in the description, and some results for a polystyrene-polystyrene pair are used to illustrate the method application. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notizen: The concept of the drawing of a molecular network has been employed to derive a total network draw ratio from the combination of the two deformations occurring in the production of poly(butylene terephthalate), PBT, fibers by the consecutive processes of melt spinning and cold drawing. The mechanical properties of PBT can then be more readily explained in terms of increases in this total network draw ratio. However, the preorientation and crystallization that occurs in the melt-spinning process can occur at different strain rates and temperatures, depending on the wind up speed employed, on the extensional viscosity of the polymer, and on the variation of the extensional viscosity with temperature. Therefore, for polymers such as poly(butylene terephthalate), which can exist in two crystalline forms, the morphology of the final drawn fiber might be expected to depend on the first melt-spinning stage of the process as well as on the total network draw ratio. In this work, density, birefringence, mechanical measurements, and WAXD measurements, which have been made on the melt-spun fibers and on the drawn fibers, are described. Small differences in some of the drawn yarn mechanical properties at the same overall network draw ratio are related to the crystallinity and in particular to differences in the proportion of the α and β phases present in the drawn yarn. These in turn are related to differences in the temperature and stress during melt spinning and drawing. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Polym Sci B: Polym Phys 35: 2465-2481, 1997

    Notizen: Recent experimental investigation of the terminal relaxation in high molecular weight polyisoprenes by dynamic mechanical measurements (C. A. Bero and C.M. Roland, Macromolecules, 29, 1562 (1996)) has found the terminal relaxation times to be more sensitive to changes in temperature for three-arm stars than for the linear polyisoprenes. Moreover, these measurements, carried out with significantly higher molecular weight samples than heretofore, show that the molecular weight dependence of the terminal relaxation times for three-arm star polyisoprenes is much weaker than the exponential dependence previously proposed (L. J. Fetters, et al., Macromolecules, 26, 647 (1993)). Tracer diffusion of labeled linear and three-arm star polyethylene-like diffusant molecules in a highly entangled linear polyethylene matrix exhibit temperature and molecular weight dependencies similar to those observed spectroscopically from bulk polymers. Both the temperature and molecular weight dependencies for the star-branched polymers are at variance with the predictions of the reptation model. It is shown here, however, that these observations can be reconciled through application of the coupling model of relaxation. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notizen: A light-scattering photometer with optical microscope for in-line studies during polymer processing is described. The instrument utilizes a commercial twin-screw extruding device that feeds molten polymer into a narrow slit die equipped with sapphire optical windows. The flow rate through the die is controlled via the feed rate, screw rate, and a by-pass valve. The optics for light scattering and microscopy can be switched back and forth via simple translation of a rail-mounted optical platform without realignment, allowing efficient in situ morphological studies in both real and reciprocal space. Extruded polystyrene/polyethylene blends and melts are used to demonstrate the performance and versatility of the instrument. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notizen: The lattice parameters of a highly stereoregular metallocene polypropylene crystallized at 145°C were obtained after cooling and heating cycles in a temperature interval between 25°C and 165°C. The b dimension undergoes a large thermal expansion with temperature (0.6 Å) while the change of the a axis is relatively small (0.1 Å). The unit cell dimension along the molecular (c) axis appears less sensitive to temperature than are the intermolecular distances. The difference in dimensions between the a and c axis at low and high crystallization temperatures is small, varying from 2.3 to 3.5%. This small difference allows the formation of daughter, crosshatched lamellae in the complete interval of crystallization temperatures. The thermal expansion coefficient of the unit cell specific volume is also reported. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Polym Sci B: Polym Phys 35: 2945-2949, 1997

    Notizen: We study the drainage of a near-theta solvent through densely grafted polymer layers and compare to recent notions that these layers display little permeability to solvent flow at surface separations less than a “hydrodynamic thickness.” The solvent is trans-decalin (a near-theta solvent at the experimental temperature of 24°C). The polymer is polystyrene (PS) end-attached to two opposed mica surfaces via the selective adsorption of the polyvinylpyridine (PVP) block of a PS-PVP diblock copolymer. The experimental probe was a surface forces apparatus modified to apply small-amplitude oscillatory displacements in the normal direction. Out-of-phase responses reflected viscous flow of solvent alone - the PS chains did not appear to contribute to dissipation over the oscillation frequencies studied. The value of the hydrodynamic thickness (RH) was less than the coil thickness (Lo) measured independently from the onset of surface-surface interactions in the force-distance profile, implying significant penetration of the velocity field into the polymer layer. As the surface-surface separation was reduced from 3Lo to 0.3Lo, the apparent hydrodynamic thickness (RH*) decreased monotonically to values RH* ≪ RH. Physically, this indicates that the “slip plane” moved progressively closer to the solid surfaces with decreasing surface-surface separation. This was accompanied by augmentation of the effective viscosity by a factor of up to approximately 5, indicating somewhat diminished permeability of solvent through the overlapping polymer layers. Similar results hold for the flow through surface-anchored polymers in a good solvent. It is interesting to note the strong stretching of densely end-grafted polymers in a theta solvent. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Polym Sci B: Polym Phys 35: 2961-2968, 1997

    Notizen: The development of a new model for the diffusion of gas molecules in glassy polymers is presented which utilizes concepts from free volume theory and relies on a dual-mode interpretation of sorptive dilation in glassy polymers. Three assumptions are made in the development of the model. First, the free volume available for molecular transport processes is taken as constant below the glass transition temperature. Second, two populations of gas molecules are assumed to exist - one which contributes to the maintenance of an iso-free volume state upon sorptive dilation and one which does not contribute owing to sorption into regions of unrelaxed volume. Third, the former population is assumed to be mobile while the latter is not. The resulting model predicts, at constant temperature, a diffusion coefficient that is independent of solute volume fraction. This is in contrast to the widely used dual-mode sorption model with partial immobilization for gas transport in glassy polymers which leads to a diffusion coefficient that is dependent on solute mole fraction through the molar gas concentration. The new model is used to interpret gas transport data from permeation experiments for carbon dioxide, methane, and ethylene in three polycarbonates. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notizen: Various functional diblock copolymers have been used as surface modifiers for rutile pigment in an effort to condition the solid for eventual use in multicomponent polymer systems. Coated surfaces were analyzed by inverse gas chromatography at infinite and finite dilution of the vapor phase, and by XPS. At high coverages (about 10% by weight of the pigment), the diblocks were randomly oriented at the air interface, effectively masking the surface of the rutile. At low diblock concentrations acid/base interactions dominated the orientation of the adsorbed molecule at the rutile interface, thereby also affecting the orientational states at the air interface. In this condition, the performance of the pigment in specified host polymer systems may be expected to vary with the selection of the diblock copolymer modifier. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notizen: Polydisperse DNA of reasonable molecular weights was prepared from a mammalian source via sonication and fractionation. A method for characterizing the molecular weight using gel electrophoresis is described. Quiescent crystallization was studied in thin films of one of the fractions induced by rapidly changing the hydration state isothermally. We report the occurrence of the semicrystalline nature of DNA. The crystal growth occurring via aggregates is best described as sheaves and spherulites from DNA gels in the relative humidity range (RH) corresponding to A-DNA. These habits exhibit primary nucleation and secondary growth, which closely resemble those of melt-crystallized, synthetic macromolecules and, in a follow-up report, will be shown to be lamellar in nature. Small, needle-like crystals are observed for B-DNA hydration levels, and are unstable at lower hydration levels. A transformation from needle to lamellar crystals can occur, even when the primary nucleation of lamellar forms is otherwise absent at that hydration level, through a cylindrical phase exhibiting selective reflection of colored bands. The hydration level plays, in part, the role of the supercooling in this system and the long-known hysteresis in the formation and dissolution of the A-DNA (crystals) can now be viewed in light of those factors known to operate in semicrystalline systems. A morphological phase diagram is developed and is in accord with the known physical evidence. Because this preparation and these morphological observations are without precedence, substantial detail into methodology is included for this first article in the series. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notizen: Interest in the development of lignin-containing polymeric materials has been upheld more or less continuously for the past 20 years. Tendencies toward high moduli and poorly defined thermal transitions have been regarded as imposing inevitable limitations upon the use of lignin derivatives for such purposes. Incorporation of more than 25-40% (w/w) lignin had usually resulted in materials that were brittle and weak. For the first time, however, from homogeneous blends containing 85% (w/w) underivatized industrial kraft lignin with poly(vinyl acetate) and two plasticizers, a series of thermoplastics has been fabricated with promising mechanical properties. The tensile behavior of these new polymeric materials depends directly upon the degree of association between the intrinsic kraft lignin components. In extending to values about 25 MPa and 1.5 GPa, respectively, the tensile strengths and Young's moduli vary linearly with the effective M̄w for the kraft lignin species, under conditions where the proportions of the individual molecular components, both associated and discrete, do not change. Moreover, melt-flow index measurements indicate that these polymeric materials are amenable to thermal processing by extrusion molding. Thus a significant step has been taken toward developing a new generation of thermoplastics that are lignin-based in a very fundamental way. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notizen: Dynamic properties in the melt state for two saturated hydrocarbon polymers, poly(ethylene-alt-propylene) (PEP) and head-to-head polypropylene (HHPP), were investigated by viscoelastic and diffusion measurements. Several nearly monodisperse linear samples of each species were used. Zero-shear viscosity η0 and self-diffusion coefficient D varied with temperature in accord with the WLF equation, and they also varied with molecular weight M in a manner that was consistent with the behavior of other species. The product η0D was of particular interest because extensive previous results for two other species, polystyrene and polyethylene, had led Pearson et al. to suggest that η0D/(η0D)Rouse is a universal function of the number of entanglements per molecule M/Me. With values for the Rouse model product for each species calculated from chain dimensions, and entanglement molecular weight from the plateau modulus, we show that the data for PEP and HHPP also support the Pearson universal form. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notizen: The diffusion and gelation dynamics of nonsolvent-induced phase inversion in several polyethersulfone (PES)/solvent/nonsolvent systems are observed using a dark-ground optical technique. The observed dynamics are correlated with the resultant morphologies of the solidified gels obtained via scanning electron microscopy. In situ dynamic measurements show that rapid precipitations result in finger formation and delayed precipitations result in sponge formation. Rapid precipitations for some systems also exhibit an initial region of high, anomalous diffusion front motion which correlates well with the appearance of finger-like macrovoids in the film sublayer. Micrographs of both thin (200-300 μm) and thick (3 mm) films formed by liquid-liquid demixing clearly show that the overall morphologies scale with initial film thickness. However, as observed for the cellulose acetate (CA)/dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO)/H2O system, the possibility of crystallization can complicate the scaling analysis. A ternary diffusion model is also employed to describe the isothermal diffusion encountered during the formation of PES membranes. Binary thermodynamic and kinetic parameters needed for computations are determined from experimental data. Model results agree well with experimental observations. The model accurately predicts the transition from finger-to-sponge formation, as well as other observed trends in dynamics and morphology. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notizen: Thin strips of crosslinked linear high-density polyethylene were melted and then crystallized in contact by cooling to room temperature. The work required to peel the strips apart by pulling one strip away from the other at 90° was found to be remarkably high, 5 to 30 kJ/m2, and in some cases the strips could not be separated in this way. However, adhesion measured in T-peeling was much lower, about one-tenth as large. Adhesion was also fairly small, 200 to 600 J/m2, using other test methods designed to minimize bending strains. Thus, most of the work of separation is normally expended in bending, probably in plastic yielding of the outer layers of bent strips. However, even when bending energy losses were minimized, the residual adhesion was much greater than expected for Van der Waals bonding (about 0.05 J/m2). Apparently, cocrystallization of molecular strands lying on either side of the interface greatly enhances the intrinsically low level of autohesion of amorphous polyethylene, probably by local yielding processes around the line of separation. Some effects of test temperature were also examined in T-peeling. Adhesion passed through a pronounced maximum at temperatures of 75-100°C before reducing to very low values in the melted state. This maximum was absent in tests with reduced bending. It is, therefore, attributed to extra work expended in plastic bending over a narrow range of temperature, probably due to a lower yield stress at these temperatures and not to an increase in the actual adhesion. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notizen: Nonlinear gradient-driven diffusion was studied in concentrated polystyrene (PS)/ethylbenzene (EB) solutions using vapor sorptions with a finite driving force. The nonlinear sorptions were carried out on thin films (≅2.05, 3.50 μ thick) at conditions where non-Fickian, “viscoelastic” effects appear. These data were modeled with the nonlinear diffusion equation studied by Tang. Four dimensionless material parameters in the model were determined from a limited amount of linear-response, differential sorption data on PS/EB mixtures measured in the same range of experimental conditions as for the nonlinear sorptions. The nonlinear model successfully predicts the observed nonlinear response either above or below the glass transition (Tg). In order to simultaneously capture the nonlinear response both above and below Tg, the abrupt change in the concentration dependence of physical properties at Tg must be accounted for. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notizen: We report new experimental evidence of the existence of double critical points in a binary system. Pressure-temperature data on the solubility of (polystyrene + acetaldehyde) were obtained using a low-angle light-scattering technique. Phase diagrams change from an UCST/LCST configuration showing a marked double maxima to an hour-glass shape with a “window of miscibility” as pressure decreases. Successful modeling of these unusual shapes was achieved by using a computation algorithm which incorporates a temperature- and concentration-dependent interaction parameter. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notizen: The transamidation reaction converts the carbonate and amine into N-aliphatic aromatic carbamate and urea, causing the equivalent of oxirane and amine nonstoichiometric in the primary cure stage. After postcure, the substitution reaction takes place and results in a more tightly crosslinked structure. Such a higher crosslinking density is responsible for higher Tg, tensile strength, and tensile modulus in the postcure stage than that in the primary and secondary cure stages. This trend is more pronounced in those PC-epoxy blends containing higher molecular weight aliphatic amine or a higher content of PC. This phenomenon is due to the difference in the fraction of amino group of aliphatic amine consumed in the transamidation. PC-epoxy/aliphatic amine blends show minor improvement in the high strain rate Izod impact tests, while toughness improvement for some blends is substantial at low strain rate tensile tests. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notizen: In this study, initially, we tried to obtain the mechanoradicals of PMMA (poly(methyl methacrylate)). For this purpose, we designed a simple drilling apparatus. Using this apparatus, we prepared some PMMA samples at 77 K in vacuum. Later, by using an ESR (electron spin resonance spectrometer), we observed ESR signals for these samples at 77 K. This means that mechanoradicals have been successfully produced by mechanical fracture in PMMA using our drilling apparatus. Secondly, we tried to identify the radicals from these spectra through using theoretical analyses and, some computer simulations have been done by suggesting two different theoretical models for these ESR signals. Finally, by using experimental and theoretical data, we showed that our simple apparatus could be used to obtain mechanoradicals from polymers. Results were seen to be in very good agreement with the literature. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Polym Sci B: Polym Phys 35: 2195-2200, 1997

    Notizen: Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) is one of the most widely used technique for measuring crystallinity in the polymer industry. The major source of error in the crystalline index (CIDSC) of low crystallinity polymeric articles, is the development of further crystallinity during the DSC scan. Although, this type of cold crystallization is obvious, and thus accounted for in polymers like polyethylene terephthalate, nylons are a difficult class of materials in that respect. The major contributing factors to the failure of DSC in measuring low levels of crystallinity in nylons are identified to be (1) silent crystallization between the glass (Tg) and melting (Tm) transitions, (2) extreme difficulties in packing a moisture-free nylon in the sample pan (the response due to traces of moisture being a broad endotherm competing with a broad exothermic crystallization), and (3) a sub-Tm exotherm, especially in low crystallinity nylons, due to relaxation of the processing-induced stresses. These factors, specific to nylons, mask the observation of cold crystallization and lead to substantially higher than real crystallinities. This manuscript deals with such complications and corrective actions using commercial nylon 6 films of CIDSC = 0-40%. X-ray diffraction measurements have been included to support the validity of our improved DSC methodology. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Polym Sci B: Polym Phys 35: 2219-2231, 1997

    Notizen: Poly(L-methionine) (PMet) is one of the two sulfur containing polyamino acids. Raman, FTIR spectra, and heat capacity measurements of PMet have been well interpreted through the normal mode analysis and the density of states derived therefrom. Earlier interpretation of heat capacity data is limited because it is based on the Tarasov model, wherein the concept of group frequency and skeletal similarity are used. A special feature of some dispersion curves is their tendency to bunch in the neighborhood of the helix angle. This has been attributed to the presence of strong intramolecular interactions. Repulsion between the dispersion curves is also observed. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Polym Sci B: Polym Phys 35: 2281-2292, 1997

    Notizen: Crosslinked polymer networks are used in a wide variety of applications. To use these materials effectively, a fundamental understanding of their structural evolution and the relationship between material properties and structure is essential. In this article, a novel technique employing “iniferters,” i.e., living radical polymerizations, to photopolymerize these networks is utilized to study the property and structural evolution of these highly desirable materials. Living radical polymerizations are used in this work since this technique avoids the problem of carbon radical trapping encountered while using conventional initiators. Dynamic mechanical measurements are performed on highly crosslinked methacrylate networks to glean information regarding their structural heterogeneity. By performing these measurements on homopolymerized samples at various stages of the reaction and on copolymerized samples of multifunctional methacrylates, the mechanical properties are characterized as a function of double bond conversion and comonomer composition. From such analyses, with respect to both temperature and frequency, quantitative conclusions regarding the structure of the networks are drawn. This effort is aimed at exploiting the living radical polymerizations initiated by p-xylylene bis(N,N-diethyl dithiocarbamate) (XDT), to study the mechanical property evolution and structural heterogeneity of crosslinked polymers which is nearly impossible otherwise. Polymers examined in this study include networks formed by homopolymerization of diethylene glycol dimethacrylate (DEGDMA) and polyethylene glycol 600 dimethacrylate (PEG600DMA) as well as copolymers of DEGDMA and PEG600DMA. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notizen: Structural changes of tussah (Antheraea pernyi) silk fibroin films induced by heat treatment were studied as a function of the treatment temperature in the range 200-250°C. The DSC curve of tussah films with α-helix molecular conformation displayed characteristic endo and exo peaks at 216 and 226°C, respectively. These peaks first weakened and then completely disappeared after heating at 230°C. Accordingly, the TMA thermal shrinkage at 206°C disappeared when the films were heated at 230°C. The onset of weight loss was monitored at 210°C by means of TG measurements. X-ray diffraction profiles gradually changed from α-helix to β-sheet crystalline structure as the treatment temperature increased from 200 to 250°C. On raising the heating temperature above 200°C, the intensity of IR and Raman bands characteristic of β-sheet conformation increased in the whole ranges of amide and skeletal modes. The sample treated at 200°C showed a spectral pattern intermediate between α-helix and β-sheet molecular conformation. The IR marker band for random coil structure, still detectable at 200°C, disappeared at higher treatment temperatures. Spectral changes attributable to the onset of thermal degradation appeared at 230°C. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Polym Sci B: Polym Phys 35: 841-847, 1997

    Notizen: In situ experiments were performed with a portable RIM (reaction injection molding) minimachine interfaced to an FTIR spectrophotometer to follow the reaction chemistry and monitor phase separation of copoly(urethane urea)s during RIM polymerization. The PUU copolymers were based on ethylene oxide-capped poly(propylene oxide) polyether diol, 3,5-diethyltoluenediamine (DETDA), and uretonimine liquefied 4,4′-diphenylmethane diisocyanate. The effect of catalyst concentration on the degree of phase separation in the as-molded RIM PUU copolymers was investigated by using differential scanning calorimetery and scanning electron microscopy as supplementary methods. The results suggested that an increase of degree of phase separation and a decrease of the size of hard-segment-rich domains take place with a rise of catalyst concentration. The morphological feature was a consequence in combination with the increase in relative rate of urethane formation and the ordering of hydrogen bonding through urea groups. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notizen: Volume recovery measurements have been used to study the physical aging behavior of a polyetherimide. Isothermal aging temperatures near Tg were studied with aging times ranging up to several days. The volume decreases during physical aging and levels off at equilibrium. For comparison purposes, the data are normalized to yield the departure from equilibrium which varies from unity at very short aging times to zero when equilibrium is reached. As the aging temperature decreases, the normalized curves are shifted to longer times without a significant change in shape. Hence, the data can be reduced by aging time - temperature superposition. The temperature dependence of the shift factors used to reduce the volume recovery data and the times to reach equilibrium for the volume recovery follow the WLF equation and agree within experimental error with the values from enthalpy and creep measurements obtained in previous work. However, the approach to equilibrium for volume appears to differ from that of enthalpy, with volume recovery being faster than the enthalpy recovery at short times. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notizen: Morphology and isothermal growth rates of spherulites for the binary blends consisting of an isotactic polypropylene (i-PP) and an ethylene-1-hexene rubber (EHR) were examined as a function of the crystallization temperature ranging from 388 K to 418 K. In this study, two types of EHR's were employed: “ethylene rich” EHR and “1-hexene rich” EHR. The blends of i-PP with the EHR of 51 mol % 1-hexene are miscible in the molten state, whereas the blends with the EHR of 33 mol % 1-hexene are immiscible in the molten state. It is found that the isothermal spherulite growth rate of the miscible i-PP/EHR blends decreases with increasing the EHR fraction, whereas the spherulite growth rate of the immiscible i-PP/EHR blends is independent of the blend composition and is the same as that of the i-PP. Optical microscope observation of the miscible blends crystallized isothermally shows that there are no rubber domains either in the intraspherulitic or in the interspherulitic contact regions. On the other hand, the immiscible i-PP/EHR blends show a phase-separated morphology. Furthermore, the number of tangential lamellae of the miscible i-PP/EHR blends is found to be increased by blending of the EHR, leading to the spherulite with negative birefringence. The sign of birefringence of spherulites is unaffected by the regime transition as well as by the fold surface free energy. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Polym Sci B: Polym Phys 35: 953-961, 1997

    Notizen: The instantaneous distribution of chain composition for random terpolymers has been derived by adopting a similar strategy to that used by Stockmayer. The analytical result shows the same Gaussian behavior for the random terpolymer distribution. When the concentration of the third comonomer is low and they are almost individually dispersed along the chain (the quasiterpolymer case), the explicit distribution is given by (the Stockmayer's copolymer result)*(ωt)t, where t and ω are the concentration and the relative probability of incorporating the third comonomer within a chain. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notizen: The dynamic scattering properties of mixtures of cyclic copolymers and homopolymers are discussed. These properties are compared with those characterizing linear chain mixtures in similar conditions. The differences between cyclic and linear chains are introduced through the form factors only. The interaction parameter between different monomer species are assumed to be the same whether they belong to cyclic or linear chains. The dynamical model is based upon a generalization of the random phase approximation neglecting hydrodynamic interaction and mode coupling effects. Despite these simplifications, substantial differences are found in the dynamics of mixtures containing cyclic copolymers and homopolymers when compared to those of linear chain systems in similar conditions of temperature, concentration, and molecular weight. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notizen: Several latex dispersions of different hydrophobicity were investigated with respect to their ability to adsorb platinum nanoparticles that had been reduced in their presence. Two reduction methods were tested, specifically the slower method of refluxing the alcoholic solutions and the more rapid method of reaction with KBH4. The immobilization of the metal particles and their nanosize dimensions were demonstrated by transmission electron microscopy, and their catalytic activity was tested by the hydrogenation of cyclohexene as a model reaction. Some additional immobilized platinum nanoparticles were prepared in the presence of various protective polymers. This can lead to various advantages with respect to, for instance, the stability and the catalytic properties of these materials. Even in the presence of such additional protective polymers, the platinum nanoparticles remained immobilized for some of the hydrophobic latexes both before and after catalytic hydrogenations. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notizen: We investigate the compatibilizing performance of a random copolymer in the melt state, using transmission electron microscopy. Blends of polystyrene (PS) and poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) are chosen as a model system, and a random copolymer of styrene and methyl methacrylate (SMMA) with 70 wt % styrene is used as a compatibilizer. From TEM photographs it is clear that SMMA moves to the interface between PS and PMMA domains during melt mixing, and forms encapsulating layers. However, the characteristic size of the dispersed phase increases gradually with annealing time for all blend systems studied. This demonstrates that the encapsulating layer of SMMA does not provide stability against static coalescence, which calls into question the effectiveness of random copolymers as practical compatibilizers. We interpret the encapsulation by random copolymers in terms of a simple model for ternary polymer blends. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Polym Sci B: Polym Phys 35: 2835-2842, 1997

    Notizen: Small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) measurements of interactions in polymer blends, χNS, generally depend on blend concentration Φ, even though χNS is evaluated with a model that assumes that the thermodynamic interaction parameter χFH = χNS is independent of Φ. Londono et al. have reported χNS to increase by ∼ 4× when Φ drops below 0.05 in polyethylene isotope blends. The relation between scattering and thermodynamics is addressed with incompressible Flory-Huggins theory wherein the nthermodynamic interaction parameter χ may vary with concentration Φ and degree of polymerization N; here χNS(Φ) ≠ χ(Φ). For polyethylene isotope and similar polyolefin blends, the strong upward curvature of χNS implies a modest (ca. 30%) increase of χ. Macroscopic phase behavior is unaffected because the shape of the binodal remains essentially unchanged. The Φ-dependence of χNS in turn depends on N, leading to the following empirical expression for the thermodynamic interaction parameter: χ(Φ, N) = β - (2γ′/NΦ1Φ2)(Φ1 ln Φ1 + Φ2 ln Φ2). For polyethylene isotope blends at 155°C, β = 2.85 × 10-4 and γ′ = 0.15. Simple Flory-Huggins behavior with χFH = β is recovered when N approaches infinity. The source of the Φ- and N-dependent second term is not known. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Polym Phys 35: 2889-2899, 1997

    Notizen: Small-angle x-ray scattering was used to characterize the single-particle scattering factors produced by poly(amidoamine) dendrimers, poly(propleneimine) dendrimers, and polyol hyperbranched polymers in dilute solutions with methanol as solvent. Fits from electron density modeling reveal similar overall densities of the dendrimers as a function of dendrimer generation. The seventh through tenth generation poly(amidoamine) dendrimers exhibit higher order scattering features that require nearly monodisperse, spherical particles with essentially uniform internal segment densities. Dilute hyperbranched polymer solutions exhibit scattering more indicative of the inherent irregularity of internal segment densities and overall sizes to be expected within these systems. Radii of gyration estimated from electron density modeling agree reasonably well with those estimated by standard Guinier methods used in previous studies. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notizen: Wide-angle x-ray diffraction studies were performed for as-spun wet poly(p-phenylene terephthalamide) fiber. The effects of sorbed water on the equatorial diffractions from the (110) and (200) crystal planes and on the meridional diffractions from the (002), (004), and (006) crystal planes were analyzed during desorption and absorption. There was no significant change in the d-spacing from the respective crystal plane irrespective of the moisture (water) regain. The ratio of the diffracted intensity from the (110) diffraction to that from the (200) diffraction remarkably increased by removing the sorbed water. The crystallite size estimated from the (110) diffraction, L110, also increased as the moisture regain decreased, while the L200 did not increase. The longitudinal size of paracrystallite, D001, also remarkably increased with the decrease in moisture regain with the lattice distortion factor, gII, kept unchanged. These results strongly suggested the growth of the crystallite via hydrogen bonds in the lateral (b-axis) direction. The growth of the lateral size of crystallite also accompanied the longitudinal growth of crystallite during desorption. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Polym Sci B: Polym Phys 35: 1423-1432, 1997

    Notizen: Fragmentation tests in the uniaxial mode were performed on poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) films coated with a 100 nm thin silicon oxide layer. The coating's fragmentation process was analyzed in light of the mechanical behavior of the polymer substrate. It was shown that, upon unloading samples strained to less than 4% nominal strain, strain recovery leads to the closure of coating cracks. The usual fragmentation diagram, which shows the crack density (CD) versus applied strain, was used to identify the various energy dissipation mechanisms controlling the fragmentation process. An alternative presentation of CD versus true stress provided accurate measurements of both fragmentation and saturation onsets. The interfacial strength was modeled from the CD at saturation according to the Kelly-Tyson approach, including a Weibull distribution of the coating strength. The prediction was compared to the substrate shear stress at saturation. Effects of substrate yield, temperature, and molecular orientation are discussed. It was shown that the coating deposition by evaporation on the PET substrate did not induce structural changes at the polymer interface, whereas heat treatments increased the polymer crystallinity in the interfacial zone, resulting in higher interfacial strength. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notizen: Poly(1-trimethylsilyl-1-propyne) (PTMSP), a high free-volume glassy di-substituted polyacetylene, has the highest gas permeabilities of all known polymers. The high gas permeabilities in PTMSP result from its very high excess free volume and connectivity of free volume elements. Permeability coefficients of permanent gases in PTMSP decrease dramatically over time due to loss of excess free volume. The effects of aging on gas permeability and selectivity of PTMSP membranes continuously exposed to a 2 mol % n-butane/98 mol % hydrogen mixture over a period of 47 days are reported. The permeation properties of PTMSP membranes are quite stable when the polymer is continuously exposed to a gas mixture containing a highly sorbing organic vapor such af n-butane. The n-butane/hydrogen selectivity was essentially constant for the 47-day test period at a value of 29, or 88% of the initial value of the as-cast film of 33. Condensable gases such as n-butane may serve as a “filler” in the nonequilibrium free volume of the polymer, thereby preserving the high level of excess free volume. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notizen: The interdiffusion and miscibility behavior of three different types of modified poly(arylether sulfone)s with deuterated poly(arylether sulfone) is studied by depth profiling using the nuclear reaction D(3He, α)p. The diffusion coefficients are found to be in the range of 10-15 and 10-14 cm2/s at 195°C. A random copolymer of poly(arylether sulfone) containing 4,4-bis-(4′-hydroxyphenyl)valeric acid units is only partially miscible with deuterated poly(arylether sulfone) when the comonomer content is 8.8 mol %, whereas blends with comonomer contents of 1.7 and 4.5 mol % are miscible as indicated by complete interdiffusion. The transition from miscibility to immiscibility is caused by repulsive interactions of copolymer segments and can be explained in terms of a mean-field theory of random copolymer blends. Also, poly(arylether sulfone)s grafted with 0.4 wt % maleic anhydride or having pyromellitic anhydride endgroups are miscible with deuterated poly(arylether sulfone)s. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notizen: Poly(OxyMethylene) (POM) and its miscible blends were studied by multifrequency A.C. dielectric and thermally stimulated currents (TSC). The blends contained small amounts of either poly(vinyl phenol), which is a high glass transition (Tg) diluent, or a styrene-co-hydroxy styrene oligomeric low Tg diluent. The variation of the 10°C “β” transition with blend composition proves that it is the glass transition, and that the -70°C “γ” transition is a local motion. Dielectrically the β transition is very weak in pure POM even in fast-quenched samples. The TSC thermal sampling method also detected two cooperative transitions, γ and β, in POM and its blends, and was used to directly resolve the γ transition into low and high activation energy components. If one considers the contribution of exclusion of the diluents from the crystal lamellae, it is shown that the blends behave like typical amorphous blends as a function of concentration. The effect of crystals on amorphous motions is examined in light of comparison with van Krevelen's37 predictions of an “amorphous” Tg, and the transitions in POM are contrasted with those for other semicrystalline polymers. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notizen: This article deals with the characterization of the structural changes induced by uniaxial extension in the amorphous phase of an ethylene/butene copolymer. Volume change measurements indicate a reversible densification relevant to a strain-induced organization in the amorphous phase. The dynamic mechanical behavior shows an improvement of the β relaxation that reveals an important immobilization of the amorphous chains. The vibrational behavior investigated by means of Raman spectroscopy suggests that the strained amorphous chains are structurally analogous to the mesomorphic interfacial component. A discussion is made about the mechanism of the transformation of the amorphous phase into a mesomorphic structure compared to the more common strain-induced crystallization phenomenon. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notizen: Reaction mechanism of the PC-epoxy blends cured by aliphatic amine has been investigated by varying PC contents in the blends. The transamidation reaction tends to convert nearly all the carbonates into N-aliphatic aromatic carbamates even at ambient temperature before normal curing. The remaining amine proceeds the normal curing with epoxy at a higher temperature (80°C). For the PC-epoxy/aliphatic amine blend containing 6 wt % PC, the yielded N-aliphatic aromatic carbamate further reacts with amine to produce the urea structure. The urea undergoes substitution reaction with the hydroxyl formed from the normal curing to give the N-aliphatic aliphatic carbamate. For the blend containing 12 wt % PC, the N-aliphatic aromatic carbamate converts into the N-aliphatic aliphatic carbamate via two different routes. For the blend containing lower molecular weight of the aliphatic amine, the N-aliphatic aromatic carbamate reacts with hydroxyl to form the N-aliphatic aliphatic carbamate directly. For the blend containing higher molecular weight of aliphatic amine, the N-aliphatic aromatic carbamate decomposes into the aliphatic isocyanate accelerated by the presence of the residual oxirane. The isocyanate formed then reacts with hydroxyl to yield the N-aliphatic aliphatic carbamate. The activation energy (Ea) and preexponential factor (A) of the PC-epoxy/POPDA blends decrease with the increase of the PC content. Kinetic study by thermal analysis by the method of autocatalyzed model is able to correctly predict oxirane conversion vs. time relationship for the neat epoxy/aliphatic amine and the PC-epoxy/aromatic amine systems because the dominant reaction is the normal curing reaction between amine and oxirane. The model fails to predict the PC-epoxy/aliphatic amine system because the system is complicated by several other reactions besides the normal curing reaction. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notizen: The reactions between furfuryl alcohol (FA)/poly(furfuryl alcohol) (PFA) and hexamethylenetetramine (HMTA) have been studied by 13C and 15N high-resolution solid-state NMR techniques. Highly crosslinked polymer networks similar to those obtained from the thermal curing of FA resins under acidic condition are formed. Possible reaction pathways are postulated on the basis of changes of chemical structures during the curing; α-substituted furfurylamines are shown to be the initial intermediates. Their further reactions with FA/PFA, together with thermal decomposition, produce methylene linkages between furan rings, resulting in chain extension and crosslinking, which occurs at both the methylene linkages and the 3- or 4-C of furan rings. Various side-products such as amines, imines, amides, imides, and nitriles are also formed during the reactions, and some of these can remain in the resins up to 205°C. The crosslinked network can be heterogeneous with different structures on nanometer scales when higher oligomers of FA resins react with HMTA. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notizen: With two-dimensional time-domain NMR analysis in the proton spin rotating frame, three phases are identifiable in the solid polyethylene. The major proton magnetization fraction is due to the polymer's crystalline region, where the motion is least isotropic and slowest. A magnetization fraction with intermediate relaxation rate is also intermediate in magnitude. This component is proposed to comprise chain loops on the surfaces of crystallites and effectively entangled chain segments. The most mobile fraction, which is most liquid-like with a T2 of near 1 ms at 120°C, is also the smallest. It is proposed that it is due to polymer chains in the amorphous phase. In the crystalline phase the chain motion is an unexpectedly effective relaxation mechanism at ∼50 KHz. This process, which involves propagation of a twisted region along the crystallite, as has been suggested before, is either not present in the other two phases of the HDPE or is less efficient because of the lower polymer density. The activation energies for the crystalline, intermediate and amorphous phases are estimated to be 34 ± 3, 13 ± 3, and 8 ± 2 Kcal/mol, respectively. The frequencies of the relaxation process at 120°C are 43 KHz, 350 KHz, and 1.5 MHz, respectively. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Polym Sci B: Polym Phys 35: 2551-2558, 1997

    Notizen: Tensile and impact properties of uncompatibilized nylon-6/ABS blends have been studied over the entire range of compositions. The blends were prepared by extrusion and, subsequently, injection molded into tensile specimens and rectangular plaques. The impact fracture performance was characterized using recently proposed models based on fracture mechanics, for various fracture behaviors. The results showed that nylon-6 breaks in a brittle manner. With the addition of ABS, the blend exhibits the same behavior with a slightly lower impact resistance up to about 60 wt %. A sudden jump in the value of impact fracture energy is observed around 70 wt % ABS with a brittle - ductile transition in the mechanism of fracture. The transition in fracture mechanisms is confirmed through observation of the fracture surfaces by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Tensile tests showed that the elongation at break increases only slightly between 0 and 50% ABS content, but a significant jump occurs around 70% ABS, reaching a 6-fold increase in comparison to that of the pure components. SEM observation of etched samples shows that a cocontinuous morphology occurs around 70 wt % ABS. The peak observed for the elongation at break and the jump in impact performance, as well as the onset of brittle-ductile transition, are attributed to this morphological effect. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notizen: Recent studies have demonstrated that addition of a small quantity of dibenzylidene sorbitol (DBS) to a molten polymer may result in a physical gel if conditions permit the DBS molecules to self-organize into a three-dimensional network composed of highly connected nanofibrils. If the polymer crystallizes, DBS may also serve as a nucleating agent, promoting the formation of spherulites, especially in commercially important polyolefins such as polypropylene. We examine the thermal and mechanical properties, as well as the morphological characteristics, of an isotactic polypropylene copolymer with 3 wt % ethylene upon addition of less than 1 wt % of 1,3:2,4-di-p-methylbenzylidene sorbitol (MDBS). From dynamic rheological measurements, pronounced complex viscosity increases, attributed to MDBS nanofibril network formation, are observed at concentration-dependent temperatures above the melting point of the nucleated copolymer. Transmission electron micrographs of RuO4-stained sections confirm the existence of MDBS nanofibrils measuring on the order of 10 nm in diameter and, at higher concentrations, fibrillar bundles measuring up to about 200 nm across and several microns in length. The addition of MDBS at different concentrations is also found to promote increases in optical clarity, yield strength, tensile strength, and ultimate elongation of modified copolymer formulations. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notizen: Transmission electron microscopy was performed on a polymeric nanofoam material, derived from a triblock copolymer composed of a fluorinated polyimide center block, 3F/PMDA (derived from pyromelletic dianhydride (PMDA) and 1,1-bis(4-aminophenyl)-1-phenyl-2,2,2-trifluoroethane (3F)) and polypropylene oxide (PO) end blocks. The cast and imidized polymer exhibits a microphase-separated morphology consisting of PO microdomains within a polyimide matrix. The final nanofoam material is obtained by decomposing PO microdomains into low molecular weight products, which diffuse out of the polyimide matrix leaving nanometer length scale voids. Ruthenium tetroxide staining prior to microscopy was used to enhance the contrast between the 3F/PMDA matrix and the PO microdomains or voids, which permitted a more detailed view of the microstructure of both the foamed and unfoamed materials. From the power spectra of the micrographs, spatial correlation between the PO microdomains in the unfoamed material and between the voids in the foam were found. An interdomain separation distance of ca. 37 nm was observed. Analysis of the image yielded an average area of 411 nm2 for the PO domains. The analysis indicated that the PO domains were oblong, having average major and minor dimensions of 35 and 12.5 nm, respectively. An autocorrelation of the image showed that the domain center of masses were positioned 41 nm apart, in close agreement with the domain spacing (ca. 37 nm) found as described above. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notizen: The melt miscibility of atactic poly(propylene) (a-PP) with isotactic (i-PP) and syndiotactic poly(propylene) (s-PP), respectively, is investigated by diffusion experiments of i-PP/a-PP/i-PP or s-PP/a-PP/s-PP sandwich specimens using polarized light microscopy. It is shown that the system a-PP/i-PP is miscible in the melt, whereas for the system a-PP/s-PP no evidence for melt mixing is found. Pressure-volume-temperature (PVT) measurements of the three poly(propylene)s are carried out in order to determine the characteristic parameters of the Flory-Orwoll-Vrij equation-of-state theory. Theoretical predictions using the solubility parameter concept are in agreement with the observed miscibility behavior of the blends. Differences in the cohesive energy densities of a-PP and i-PP on the one side, and s-PP on the other side, are found to be responsible for the phase behavior of the mixtures of poly(propylene)s with different stereoregularity. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notizen: Morphologies of solution-grown crystals in systems containing strong and specific intralattice hydrogen bonding (nylons) are compared with systems displaying only van der Waals intracrystal attractions. The latter are shown to produce crystals that clearly mirror the underlying crystallographic symmetry; in the former systems the morphologies are much more complex and disorganized. This difference is discussed in terms of intralattice forces affecting growth rates and chain rearrangement during crystallization. Arguments deriving from differences in lamellar thickening behavior are also used to demonstrate this point. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Polym Sci B: Polym Phys 35: 1175-1183, 1997

    Notizen: The phenomena of aggregation and coalescence of fullerenes in the UV-laser ablation time-of-flight mass spectrometric investigation of C60-modified poly(N-vinylcarbazole) both in the positive and in the negative ion channels have been observed. The results indicate that in C60 chemically modified PVK (C60-PVK) copolymer the nascent fullerene fragments ruptured from main chain can easily coalesce into large fullerenes through collisions, whereas in the C60-doped PVK the aggregation and coalescence of C60 were relative weak due to nonbounding action and incomplete charge transfer behavior between C60 and PVK. Furthermore, the photoinduced electron transfer behavior between C60 and carbazole units in the C60 chemically modified poly(N-vinylcarbazole) in benzonitrile by laser flash photolysis at 355 nm has also been investigated. Efficiency of the anion radical of C60 in copolymer at 1080 nm is higher than that of the C60-doped poly(N-vinylcarbazole) polymers. The formation of a C60 radical anion may be ascribed to photoinduced electron transfer between C60 pendanted on the main chain backbone and the inter-, and intrachain carbazole units in the copolymer. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 35: 1185-1190, 1997

    Notizen: The electroviscosities of solutions of a lyotropic liquid crystalline polymer, poly(n-hexyl isocyanate), were investigated by a slit viscometer. The morphologies of the solutions being studied include the isotropic, the biphasic, and the fully liquid crystalline. All three morphologies exhibit viscosity enhancements with imposition of an electric field. However, the electrorheological behavior of the isotropic solution is different from those of other morphologies. The isotropic solution starts with a higher field free viscosity and its electroviscosity increases gradually with the increasing electric field strength. In contrast, the anisotropic solutions begin with lower zero field viscosities and the electroviscosities increase sluggishly until a critical field strength is reached; the viscosities then increase rapidly and finally exceed that of the isotropic solution. For the morphologies of the biphasic and the fully liquid crystalline, the dependence of the viscosity enhancements on field strength and shear rate can be described by a single variable. The variable scales with the square of the electric field strength and the reciprocal of the shear rate. By introducing the effect of the molecular permanent dipole moments into Doi's theory, the electrorheological effects of PHIC solutions can be satisfactorily interpreted. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
