Crystal Structure and Thermal Properties of Polypropylene Prepared by Variable Speed Pressurization
-
摘要: 在聚合物的高压成型过程中，压力、增压速率以及聚合物的分子量都会影响制品的最终结晶结构，研究不同高压处理方法与等规聚丙烯（isotactic polypropylene，iPP）结晶结构之间的关系，有利于深入认识高压成型工艺对聚合物结晶行为的影响。利用广角X射线衍射技术和差示扫描量热法，研究了两种不同分子量的iPP在不同增压速率、不同压力下的结晶行为及制品的热性能。结果表明：压力是决定中间相iPP形成的关键因素，只要压力足够高，就能够制备出完全的中间相iPP；在足够高的压力下，增压速率越高，越有利于中间相iPP的形成，相反更容易形成γ相iPP；分子量越高，制备中间相iPP需要的压力越高，需要的临界增压速率越大。制品的热性能分析表明，不同条件下得到的中间相制品在热性能上基本没有区别，但γ相iPP的晶体完善性与增压条件有关。Abstract: In the high-pressure molding process of polymers, the pressure, pressurization rate and molecular weight of the polymers will affect the final crystalline structure of the products. Studying the relationship between different high-pressure processing methods and the crystalline structure of isotactic polypropylene (iPP) is helpful to deeply understand the influence of high-pressure molding process on the crystallization behavior of polymers. In this paper, wide-angle X-ray diffraction and differential scanning calorimetry were used to study the crystallization behavior and thermal properties of two kinds of iPP with different molecular weights at different pressurization rates and pressures. The results show that pressure is a key factor in determining the formation of mesophase iPP. The complete mesophase iPP can be prepared under sufficient pressure. Under enough pressure, the higher the pressurization rate, the easier to form mesophase iPP, ortherwise, to form γ-phase iPP. The higher the molecular weight, the higher pressure required for the preparation of mesophase iPP, and the greater the required critical pressurization rate. The thermal property analysis of the products shows that the thermal properties of the mesophase products obtained under different conditions are basically the same, but the crystal perfection of the γ-phase iPP is related to the pressurized condition.
