Polymers at High Pressures and High Temperatures: Advances in Equation of State and Phase Transition Investigations
-
摘要: 聚合物是现代社会最实用的材料之一,也是含能材料领域的研究热点之一。随着应用范围的不断拓展,聚合物材料的服役环境日益极端。然而,到目前为止,人们对聚合物在高温高压极端条件下的状态方程和结构相变等重要物性还知之甚少,一定程度上限制了聚合物在更广阔领域的应用。聚合物自身的混合相态和多尺度分级结构给其在极端条件下的结构和物性研究带来了巨大的挑战。本文概述了近年来高温高压条件下聚合物状态方程和相变研究领域的进展,指出了目前聚合物状态方程和相变研究所面临的问题,以及现有实验技术的局限性,最后,从实验上提出了相关问题的潜在解决方法,希望对今后高温高压极端条件下聚合物状态方程和相变研究有所裨益。Abstract: Polymers are one of the most widely used materials in modern society. The interest of applying polymers under extreme conditions (high pressure and high temperature) is ever increasing. However, our knowledge of the equation of state (EOS) and phase transition of polymers at high pressures and high temperatures is extremely limited, which prevents their applications in broad fields. Because of their mixed phases and their hierarchical structures, investigation on the structures and properties of polymers at extreme conditions is a big challenge to date. In this short review, we summarize the recently published studies on the EOS and phase transition of polymers at extreme conditions. We point out the challenges faced and the limitations of the experimental techniques used, which is expected to be useful for the investigations of the EOS and phase transition of polymers in the future.

Measurement method Measurement information Pressure range/GPa Potential issues Shock Hugoniot Compressibility of bulk materials > 1000 Temperature effect: if the shock temperature is higher than Tg, then the measured properties are those of the glassy polymer.
Strain rate dependency.Brillouin scattering Compressibility of bulk materials about 1–85 Pressure limitations: for materials with a low Tg, vT can’t be measured at low pressure (1 GPa), and at high pressure (85 GPa), the Brillouin signal of the diamond obscures the vL signal of the polymer, which limit the pressure range for sound velocity measurements. .
Frequency effect: the frequency of Brillouin scattering experiments is 109 Hz, which results in an overestimation of the first derivative of the bulk modulus of the polymer with respect to pressure.
Numerical errors introduced by γVisible light imaging Compressibility of bulk materials >80 Small molecules of the pressure-transmitting medium enter the
“free volume” of the polymer.
Non-hydrostatic conditions at high pressures lead to the failure of the isotropy assumption.
Low accuracyDilatometor Compressibility of bulk materials about 0.2 Pressure range too small X-ray diffraction Compressibility of crystalline phases >200 Only reflects the information of the crystalline part, lacking of the information about amorphous parts, and not reflecting the compressibility of bulk materials -
