Актуальность исследования состоит в том, что одними из перспективных конструкционных и функциональных материалов остаются полимерные композиты на основе политетрафторэтилена. Благодаря уникальным базовым свойствам он находит широкое применение во всех отраслях промышленности, прежде всего в качестве антифрикционных материалов для узлов трения. В условиях низких температур композиты на основе ПТФЭ являются наиболее перспективными триботехническими материалами для сохранения работоспособности техники и оборудования Севера и арктических регионов. Недостатком ПТФЭ являются низкая износостойкость, хладотекучесть, высокий коэффициент термического расширения, которые можно улучшить добавлением наполнителей.Целью работы является исследование влияния монтмориллонита марки Метамона®1Н1 на свойства и структуру политетрафторэтилена (ПТФЭ).В качестве полимерной матрицы использован политетрафторэтилен марки ПТФЭ марки ПН-90, ООО «Галополимер»,г. Пермь.В качестве наполнителя использован Монтмориллонит марки МЕТАМОН® 1Н1 – гидрофильная глина, представляющая очищенный природный Na+ - монтмориллонит.Введение активированного метамона в композиты позволяет повысить деформационно-прочностные характеристики ПКМ по сравнению с исходным ПТФЭ.В данной работе представлены результаты исследований влияния органомодифицированного механоактивированного монтмориллонита (оММТ) марки 101/102 на физико-механические характеристики и структуру политетрафторэтилена. Содержание наполнителя варьировали от 0,5 до 7 мас. %. Установлено, что при введении 0,1-5,0 мас. % оММТ в ПТФЭ прочность ПКМ увеличивается на 25 %, относительное удлинение на 21%. Структурными исследованиями зарегистрирована трансформация надмолекулярной структуры ПТФЭ с формированием сферолитоподобных образований, центрами кристаллизации которых являются частицы оММТ. Для этих концентраций наполнителя установлены более высокие показатели энтальпии плавления и степени кристалличности методом дифференциальной сканирующей калориметрии. The development of modern technology requires the search for new structural materials that surpass traditional ones in their deformation-strength, elastic and wear-resistant properties. Composite materials based on PTFE are very promising structural materials for many industries.PTFE is widely used in friction units of technical systems due to its operability in a wide temperature range while maintaining low and stable values of the coefficient of friction, as well as its ability to provide self-lubrication during friction. Such disadvantages of PTFE as cold flow, low wear resistance, high coefficient of thermal expansion are eliminated by modification, one of the common methods of which is filling.The paper focuses on the effect of organomodified mechanically activated montmorillonite (OMMT) of 101/102 grade on the physical and mechanical characteristics and structure of polytetrafluoroethylene. The filler content varied from 0.5 to 7 wt. %. With the introduction of 0.1-5.0 wt. % OMMT in PTFE, the strength of PCM increases by 35%, and the elongation by 21% was found. Structural studies have registered the transformation of the supramolecular structure of PTFE with the formation of spherulite-like formations, the centers of crystallization of which are particles of OMMT. For these filler concentrations, higher values ​​of the enthalpy of melting and the degree of crystallinity were established by the method of differential scanning calorimetry.

The effect of the addition of talc on the morphology and thermal properties of blends of thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) and polypropylene (PP) was investigated. The blends of TPU and PP are incompatible because of large differences in polarities between the nonpolar crystalline PP and polar TPU and high interfacial tensions. The interaction between TPU and PP can be improved by using talc as reinforcing filler. The morphology was observed by means of scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The thermal properties of the neat polymers and unfilled and talc filled TPU/PP blends were studied by using dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The addition of talc in TPU/PP blends improved miscibility in all investigated TPU/T/PP blends. The DSC results for talc filled TPU/PP blends show that the degree of crystallinity increased, which is due to the nucleating effect induced by talc particles. The reason for the increased storage modulus of blends with the incorporation of talc is due to the improved interface between polymers and filler. According to TGA results, the addition of talc enhanced thermal stability. The homogeneity of the talc filled TPU/PP blends is better than unfilled TPU/PP blends.

In the work an eco-friendly non-woven fiber made of polylactide and natural rubber with a rubber content from 0 to 15 wt.% was obtained by electrospinning. The influence of distilled water and UV irradiation on the agrofibers has been investigated. The water sorption test showed that the addition of natural rubber into the polylactide matrix does not significantly affect the degree of water absorption of the fibrous materials, which is in the range of 49-50.6%. Thermal characteristics after 180 days of degradation in distilled water at 22±2 oC and UV irradiation at a wavelength of 365 nm during 100 hours were determined using the differential scanning calorimetry. Changes in the values for glass transition and melting temperatures, and the degree of crystallinity were determined.

The present paper concentrates on the toughness and the degree of crystallinity of the magnesium-catalyzed polyamide 6 rods cast in different diametres, which are commonly used for gear manufacturing. Its toughness cannot be regarded as a constant feature due to the casting technology. The mechanical properties of the semi-finished products are sensitive to the manufactured dimension, e.g., cast diameter, which are investigated by the Charpy impact test and tensile impact test. It is generally accepted that the impact strength and tensile-impact strength correlate with the degree of crystallinity beside many other material’s feature. Crystallinity is evaluated by Differential Scanning Calorimetry. The aim of this study is to determine the relationship between toughness and crystallinity of the magnesium-catalyzed cast PA6 rods with different diameters. For the research cast rods between 40 and 300 mm diameter were selected in seven-dimensional steps. Based on the results, it was found that the toughness depends strongly on the diameter size. Furthermore, it is proved that the crystallinity explains 62.3% of the variation of the Charpy’s impact strengths, while the tensile impact method was not suitable to detect the difference between the test samples.

The potential of hemp fibre as a reinforcing material for Poly(lactic acid) (PLA) was investigated. Good interaction between hemp fibre and PLA resulted in increases of 100% for Young’s modulus and 30% for tensile strength of composites containing 30 wt% fibre. Different predictive ‘rule of mixtures’ models (e.g. Parallel, Series and Hirsch) were assessed regarding the dependence of tensile properties on fibre loading. Limited agreement with models was observed. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and x-ray diffraction (XRD) studies showed that hemp fibre increased the degree of crystallinity in PLA composites.

In this study, PP/clay nanocomposites have been fabricated at different nanoclay loadings, i.e. 0, 5, 10, and 5 wt% for the 1stcycle and 2ndcycle (re-processing). The prepared nanocomposites were then characterized by a Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) to investigate the effects of nanoclay loadings and re-processing on the melting and crystallization of the nanocomposites. The DSC results showed that the melting temperature,Tmwas not significantly affected by the nanoclay loadings and re-processing. In the other hand, the degree of crystallinity,Xcof the nanocomposites was higher than that of neat PP, but only reached a maximum at nanoclay loading of 5 wt% (i.e. 51.2% for NC-5-I and 48.3% for NC-5-II). Thereafter, theXcdecreased at higher nanoclay loadings. There was no significant difference inXcbetween 1stcycle and 2ndcycle. Additionally, in all nanocomposites samples for both cycles, there were two crystallization temperatures, i.e.Tc1andTc2. In the overall crystallization process, theTcof nanocomposites increased by 11-12°C compared to that of neat PP. Whereas, the onset crystallization temperature,Tocalso increased by approx. 13°C. Apparently, there was no significant effect of nanoclay loadings and re-processing on theTcndTocof the nanocomposites.

The structure and thermal characteristics of nanocomposites based on polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and montmorillonite (MMT) intercalated with polyvinylpyrrolidone were investigated by X-ray diffraction analysis and differential scanning calorimetry. The modification of PVA with intercalated MMT reduces the degree of crystallinity of the resulting nanocomposites but significantly increases their thermal stability. Under ultrasound, the intercalated MMT was completely distributed in a PVA solution and formed a monocrystalline structure. Films based on PVA with modified MMT were cross-linked at 110°C in the presence of 5 wt% acrylic acid and 0.5 wt% Ferrous(II) sulfate as an initiator. The formed films have a homogeneous cross-linked structure.

The present study deals with the preparation of polyurethane (PU) films impregnated with a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug, tolfenamic acid (TA). Solvent evaporation technique has been employed for the preparation of TA-PU films in two different ratios of 1 : 2 and 1 : 5 in Tetrahydrofuran (THF) or THF-ethanol mixtures. The prepared films were characterized using X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), and release studies. The results indicate transformation of crystalline TA to its amorphous form. The degree of crystallinity changes both by increasing the polymer concentration and solvent used for the film preparations. The release profiles of TA were also found to be affected, showing a decrease from approximately 50% to 25% from 1 : 2 to 1 : 5 ratios, respectively.

Hydroxyapatite/poly-L-lactide (HAp/PLL) composite biomaterial can be obtained by different processing methods. Three-dimensional blocks of HAp/PLLA composite biomaterial with mechanical characteristics close to the natural bone tissue can be obtained by hot pressing procedure. Effects of synthesis and compacting on the structure and characteristics of the HAp/PLLA composite biomaterial were studied in this work. Using wade angle X-ray structural analyses (WAXS), differentially scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and infrared (IR) spectroscopy, the changes occurring in the material during synthesis and hot pressing were monitored. Surface microstructure was analyzed by scanning electronic microscopy (SEM) coupled with electron-dispersion analysis (EDX). The results obtained indicate a possible decrease in the degree of crystallinity with hot pressing time increase. A block of HAp/PLLA composite biomaterial with 1.6 times lower crystallinity of the polymer phase was obtained by hot pressing in a given time interval with a maximum of 60 minutes. Results of TG analysis show that PLLA stability decreases with increasing hot pressing time, and vice versa. IR study proved that neither destructive changes in constituents nor formation of new phases occurred during hot pressing.

Rice, maize and potato starches were hydrolyzed by amylase to obtain porous starches as final product. The adsorptive capacity, desorbed rates, degree of crystallinity and retrogradation properties of native and porous starches were investigated. The results showed that porous starches had the stronger adsorptive capacity and slower desorbed rate compared with native starches. In the three starch materials, the adsorptive capacity of rice starch for liquids was the strongest; the adsorptive capacity of potato starch for liquids was the weakest. the more flavors adsorbed, the more flavors desorbed. X-ray diffraction showed that Enzyme hydrolysis did not result in any significant changes in the degree of crystallinity of starch. The porous starches exhibited lower tendency of retrogradation as assessed by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC).

The article presents the results of research on the impact of structural changes in polyether ether ketone (PEEK) on its mechanical properties. The polymer was exposed to gamma radiation at a dose of 50 and 150 kGy, and the radiation energy was 4 MeV. Changes in the degree of crystallinity and the related changes in the glass transition and melting temperature for the polymer were determined by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Mechanical properties were determined using the micro-mentoring method. The tests showed a change in the degree of crystallinity in the range of several degrees and a significant increase in the glass transition temperature. In terms of mechanical properties, the reduction of hardness and Young’s modulus was observed. Observed changes, especially in terms of changes in the structure of the polymer under the influence of radiation, are difficult to explain, which requires conducting further research, especially in the range of irradiation parameters used. Further research is important because PEEK is used in many fields, especially in conditions conducive to corrosion and the influence of radiation.
