Non-isothermal crystallization and subsequent melting of biodegradable poly(bu-tylene succinate-co-terephthalate) copolyesters with different butylene terephtha-late contents were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry measurements. Differential scanning calorimetry crystallization curves revealed that butylene terephthalate contents of poly(butylene succinate-co-terephthalate) copolyesters had an identical effects on the onset, peak and final crystallization temperatures. Subsequent differential scanning calorimetry melting curves implied that both PBST-10 and PBST-70 copolyesters had the narrow distribution of lamellar thickness, while the PBST-50 copolyester showed much wider distribution.

Compatibilization via transreactions in blends of poly (butylene succinate-co-butylene terephthalate) [P(BS-co-BT)] with poly (hydroxy ether of bisphenol-A) (phenoxy) were investigated. Analyses were based on characterization using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). They revealed that the P(BS-co-BT)/phenoxy blend had a phase morphology that could be homogenized only following annealing at high temperatures. As-blended P(BS-co-BT)/phenoxy (50/50 composition) exhibited immiscible phases with two distinct Tgs, but the initially phase separated blends finally merged to form a homogeneous phase with a single Tgupon heating and annealing for 60 min at 280 °C. Chemical exchange reactions upon heat-annealing were likely to have caused the phase homogenization in the P(BS-co-BT)/phenoxy blend. NMR was performed on blend samples before and after they were heated to 280 °C, but the similarity of bonds made obtaining straight results difficult. Results of this study demonstrate phase homogenization can be brought only upon heat-annealing in the P(BS-co-BT)/phenoxy blend.

The paper describes the process of the preparation of new nanocomposites based on poly(butylene terephthalate) and C60nanoparticles modified by decylamine (DA) and tetracyanoethylene oxide (TCNEO), respectively. Thermal and crystallization properties of new synthesized nanocomposites were investigated by means of thermal differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The experimental results demonstrate the effect of fullerene derivates, DA-C60and TCNEO-C60, on the melting and crystallinity processes of nanocomposites. The morphology of new nanocomposites was investigated by SEM.

The effect of Poly (ionic liquid) (PIL) on the crystallization of polylactide (PLA) has been investigated by means of differential scanning calorimetry. The nonisothermal crystallization result showed that PIL enhanced the crystallization of PLA. The Avrami method was used to describe the isothermal crystallization behavior of PLA/PIL composites. The Avrami exponent (n) revealed that the PIL accelerated PLA crystallization through heterogeneous nucleation.

The super-tough bio-based nylon was prepared by melt extrusion. In order to improve the compatibility between bio-based nylon and elastomer, the elastomer POE was grafted with maleic anhydride. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA) were used to study the compatibility and micro-distribution between super-tough bio-based nylon and toughened elastomers. The results of mechanical strength experiments show that the 20% content of POE-g-MAH has the best toughening effect. After toughening, the toughness of the super-tough nylon was significantly improved. The notched impact strength was 88 kJ/m2 increasing by 1700%, which was in line with the industrial super-tough nylon. X-ray Diffraction (XRD) and Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) were used to study the crystallization behavior of bio-based PA56, and the effect of bio-based PA56 with high crystallinity on mechanical properties was analyzed from the microstructure.

AbstractStudy of the crystallization kinetics is particularly necessary for the analysis and design of processing operations, especially the non-isothermal crystallization behavior, which is due to the fact that most practical processing techniques are carried out under non-isothermal conditions. The non-isothermal crystallization behaviors of polyamide 6 (PA6) and PA6/high-density polyethylene/maleic anhydride/2,5-dimethyl-2,5-di(tert-butylperoxy)hexane (PA6/HDPE/MAH/L-101) composites were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The crystallization kinetics under non-isothermal condition was analyzed by the Jeziorny and Mo equations, and the activation energy was determined by the Kissinger and Takhor methods. The crystal structure and morphology were analyzed by wide-angle X-ray diffraction (WXRD) and polarized optical microscopy (POM). The results indicate that PA6/HDPE/MAH/L-101 has higher crystallization temperature and crystallization rate, which is explained as due to its heterogeneous nuclei.

The Poly(L-lactic acid)(PLLA)/surface-grafting silica(g-SiO2) nanocomposites were prepared by melt blending. The isothermal crystallization behavior of PLLA/g-SiO2 nanocomposites with different content of g-SiO2 was investigated by optical depolarizer. In isothermal crystallization from melt, the induction periods and half times for overall PLLA crystallization (95°C Tc 120°C) were affected by the crystallization temperature and the content of g-SiO2 in nanocomposites. The results showed that g-SiO2 as a kind of heterogeneous nucleating agent can reduce induction periods and half times for overall PLLA crystallization. The thermal properties of PLLA/g-SiO2 samples were also investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), The results showed that the crystalline degree of PLLA was improved as the presence of g-SiO2.

Polyethylene/montmorillonite (PE/MMT) nanocomposites were prepared by in situ polymerization. The crystallization behavior of PE/MMT nanocomposites at different MMT concentrations (from 0.1 to 1.2 wt %) were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The equilibrium melting points increase by the addition of MMT. The crystallization rates of PE/MMT nanocomposites are faster than those of pure PE. The addition of MMT facilitated the crystallization of PE, with the MMT functioning as a heterogeneous nucleating agent at lower content; at higher concentrations, however, the physical hindrance of the MMT layers to the motion of PE chains retarded the crystallization process.
