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 effect of droplet isothermal growth within the liquid-liquid phase separation region on isothermal spherulitic growth rate of isotactic polypropylene(iPP) was investigated. The results showed that the droplets grew up at a rate of 0.0172 μm·s^(-1). The larger droplets slowed down the isothermal spherulitic growth rate of iPP. Higher mass ratio of carnauba wax(Cwax)/soybean oil(SO)resulted in faster droplet growth due to weak interaction with polymers. The isothermal crystallization behaviors of iPP in environmentfriendly binary diluents consisting of Cwax and SO mixture were further investigated experimentally using polarized optical microscopy.It was demonstrated that the isothermal spherulitic growth rate of iPP in diluents decreased nonlinearly with the increasing crystallization temperature. Compared with virgin iPP, isothermal spherulitic growth rate of iPP in SO diluent was significantly slowed down. The spherulitic growth was further retarded after the addition of Cwax in mixed diluents, resulting in a lower crystallization rate than that in SO. Moreover, the crystal form of iPP membranes was found to be α type through the characterization of small angle X-ray scattering and wide angle X-ray diffraction.展开更多

The DSC data obtained from measurements of PP/CaCO3 or PP/C30B nanocomposite fibres were used for determination of the constants n and K of the Avrami equation and in the estimation of other thermal properties of the fibres, such as their crystallization half-time t1/2, rate of crystallization t1/2, the necessary time for maximum crystallization tmax and free energy per unit area of surface in the lamella perpen-dicular to the axis of a high-molecular chain se. The nano-CaCO3 or Closite 30B fillers (pre-treated separately in three different solvents: glycerine, acetone and water) did not influence the melting temperatures but caused an increase in PP crystallization temperatures in comparison with the pure PP fibres. The pre-treatments of nanoadditives resulted in increase of n, K, t1/2 values and decrease of t1/2, tmax as well as the values of free surface energies per unit area of the modified PP fibres. There was also observed a decrease in the mechanical properties, however, there was an increase of barrier properties against UV radiation of nanocomposite PP fibres in comparison with neat PP fibres, which was one of the main objectives of the study.展开更多
