The morphology and crystallization behavior of the alloy material were investigated by means of SEM, POM and DSC. The SEM study of the alloy samples revealed that PPS and PETG comprised an incompatible system and the interface structure of two phases could be observed distinctly when the composition of the binary alloy was being changed. The POM results had revealed that incorporation of PETG into PPS could lead to formation of larger spherulite crystals in the course of PPS crystallization, but small and grainy spherulite crystals appeared with further increase in the PETG concentration. The DSC analyses revealed that addition of PETG to the alloy composition could shift the PPS crystallization temperature towards the high-temperature region.展开更多

The nonisothermal crystallization kinetics of binary alloys made of poly（phenylene sulfide） （PPS） and poly（ethyleneco-cyclohexane 1,4-dimethanol terephthalate） （PETG） was studied by the differential scanning calorimetry （DSC） at different cooling rates. The test results revealed that the addition of PETG could shift the crystallization temperature of PPS toward the high-temperature direction. The nonisothermal crystallization kinetic parameters of the PPS/PETG alloy samples were calculated by the methods proposed by Avrami and Mo. Test results demonstrated that the PPS/PETG alloy could give birth to apparent secondary crystallization. The value of Avrami exponent was lower relatively, while Mo＇s method was more suited to the nonisothermal crystallization process of the PPS/PETG alloy.展开更多

The aromatic S-compounds are grafted to the polymer through Friedel-Crafts reaction and removed facilely along with the polymer. The OADS mechanism is identified by scanning electron microscope and analyzer with surface area and pore size of the polymer. The influ- ence of some factors on the OADS is studied, e.g. the type and amount of chlorinated polymers and Lewis acids. It is nroved that thionhene and benzothioDhene can be removed efficiently from oil by PVC＋AlCl3 mixture even in the presence of 25% （by mass） of benzene due to the synergetic effects of the adsorptive desulfurization of AlCl3 and the alkylation desulfurization of PVC.展开更多
