利用差示扫描量热仪研究了丙烯酸接枝线形低密度聚乙烯(PE-LLD-g-AA)的热学行为,结果表明,与纯线形低密度聚乙烯(PE—LLD)相比,PE-LLD-g-AA的熔融温度(Tm)略有增加,结晶温度(Tc)增加大约4℃,熔融焓(AHm)随AA含量的增加而降低。还利用差示扫描量热仪研究了PE—LLD和PE—LLD-g—AA的等温结晶动力学,用扫描电子显微镜观察了PE—LLD-g—AA等温结晶形态。结果表明,PE-LLD-g-AA的结晶速率大于纯PE—LLD的,随着接枝率的增加,PE-LLD的球晶半径减小,接枝到PE—LLD分子链上的AA分子起到了成核剂的作用。
The thermal behavior of linear low density polyethylene-grafted-acrylic acid (PE-LLD-g-AA) was investigated using differential scanning calorimety (DSC) and compared with that of neat linear low density polyethylene (PE-LLD). The melting temperature (Tm) of PE-LLD-g-AA was a little higher and the crystallization temperature (Tc) was about 4 ℃ higher than those neat one. The melting enthalpy (△Hm) decreased with increasing acrylic acid content. The overall crystallization rate of PE-LLD was smaller than that of grafted samples. It showed that the grafted acrylic acid units acted as a nucleating agent. SEM showed that the size of spherulites of PE-LLD-g-AA was smaller than that of PE-LLD.
