The effects of alkyl chain length and the concentration of alkyl benzene sulfonic acids on the rate of degradation reaction were discussed. It was found that in the initial stage of degradation, the cyclicity ratio and the average fused ring number did not change considerably, but the percentage of uncyclized parts content varied significantly. The suitable mechanism was supposed.展开更多

The transmitted beam patterns change with the increase of the laser irradiation time. In the initial phase, the patterns with concentric ring-shaped structure are formed. In the end, the patterns become speckle-shaped. The incubation time of the transmitted beam widening is inversely proportional to the laser power density and solution concentration. The pattern formation results from the optical-field-induced refractive index changes in the solutions, but the mechanism of optical-field-induced refractive index changes in the polymer solutions needs to be further studied.展开更多

In this work, we retake a known process, the epoxidation of polyisoprene, by a different approach, in which the quantification of parameters influencing the epoxidation, such as temperature, oxidant and catalyst concentration, and reaction time degree is evaluated. We measured the influence of each parameter, allowing anyone who aims a polymer with a certain degree of epoxidation to choose which conditions are best suitable for reaching his goal.展开更多

Compared with NR, PI loaded with the same amount of WCB (PI/WCB) exhibited shorter scorch time and optimal cure time, indicating that WCB fillers are comparatively easier to conjugate with PI. The tensile strength and elongation at break decreased with WCB filling in both PI and NR vulcanizates. The hardness of the rubber vulcanizates increased with the WCB filling in the rubber matrix. PI/WCB blends exhibited smaller hardness data, lower tensile strength, as well as lower elongation at break and tensile stress. Increasing the amount of WCB in rubber matrix induced the Payne effect. However, the Payne effect is much more obvious for the PI/WCB system, and PI/WCB also displayed higher storage modulus whereas lower loss modulus and loss tangent than NR/WCB, which could all be attributed to the poor dispersibilities of WCB in the PI matrix.展开更多

However, it is challenging to unravel the branching structure-function relationship of NR due to the complexity of the system. Herein, polyisoprene-(polyisoprene-g-polylactide)(PI-PLA) as model compound containing branching structure was designed and synthesized, which can improve the modulus, strength and viscoelasticity activation energy compared to those of the pristine polyisoprene(PI). The reason is that the branching structure contributes to the entanglement between polyisoprene chains. In order to probe the effect of branching structure on noncovalently crosslinked system, the polyisoprene block of PI-PLA was epoxidized and mixed with Fe3+ ions to introduce coordination bonds. Compared with the linear counterpart, the branching structure obviously enhanced activation energy of coordinated polyisoprenes, remarkably improving the mechanical properies of elastomer.展开更多

The obtained polyisoprene and polystyrene homopolymers served as macroinitiators for block copolymerization of isoprene and styrene to synthesize poly- (styrene-b-isoprene) and poly(isoprene-b-styrene) diblock copolymers. Diblock copolymers with well-defined structures as well as controlled and narrow molecular weight distribution were obtained from the lower-mass polystyrene and polyisoprene homopolymers. These copolymers were found to be active as macroinitiators in the synthesis of the poly(styrene-b-isoprene-b-styrene) and poly(isoprene-b-styrene-b-isoprene) triblock copolymers. 1H-NMR spectroscopy and gel permeation chromatography (GPC) were used for the investigation of polymer structure, molecular weight and polydispersity (PD).展开更多

The first period was when emulsion polymers were originally produced, and was developed asan attempt to copy natural rubber latex. Indeed, the natural process is quite different from the synthetic process of emulsionpolymerization, which in fact does not even need an emulsion to be present: the term is a misnomer! The results werefunctional but limited. In the second period, the first theories appeared, and a huge range of products was madefor surface coatings, adhesives, commodity polymers such as SBR, neoprene, etc. The work of the outstanding pioneers wasbased on limited types of experimental data, and some suppositions are now seen to be incorrect. Nevertheless, manyexcellent products were made and have evolved to many materials currently in everyday use. The third period of emulsionpolymerization is now dawning. The scientific efforts of many teams over previous decades, aided by the advent of newphysical techniques for investigation, have resulted in better understanding of the fundamentals of emulsion polymerizations.Some examples from the author's group involve creating novel materials using controlled seeded emulsion polymerizationfrom natural rubber latex and other polyenes. Latex topology and controlled free-radical chemistry can be combined toproduce a) a comb polymer with hydrophobic backbone and hydrophilic 'teeth', or b) with sufficient in situ compatibilizerbetween two otherwise incompatible polymers to yield a spatially uniform material down to the nanostructure level, and c) toproduce controlled nanostructures.展开更多

Rare earth elements, also named lanthanides, are number 58 to number 81 elements in the elemental periodic table. They have unique electronic structures and may form various coordination compounds.

On the basis of this finding, CIAC launched extensive research activities on lanthanide compounds as diene polymerization catalysts, from a series of fundamental research to the efforts of industrializing the rare earth catalyzed cis-1,4-polybutatine rubber and cis-1,4-polyisoprene rubber.
