Rheological Behavior of Blends of Metallocene Catalyzed Long-Chain Branched Polyethylenes. Part I: Shear Rheological and Thermorheological Behavior. Polymers (Basel) 2021; 13:polym13030328. [PMID: 33498543 PMCID: PMC7864184 DOI: 10.3390/polym13030328] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/10/2020] [Revised: 01/12/2021] [Accepted: 01/15/2021] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Long-chain branched metallocene-catalyzed high-density polyethylenes (LCB-mHDPE) were solution blended to obtain blends with varying degrees of branching. A high molecular LCB-mHDPE was mixed with low molecular LCB-mHDPE at varying concentrations. The rheological behavior of those low molecular LCB-mHDPE is similar but their molar mass and molar mass distribution are significantly different. Those blends were characterized rheologically to study the effects of concentration, molar mass distribution, and long-chain branching level of the low molecular LCB-mHDPE. Owing to the ultra-long relaxation times of the high molecular LCB-mHDPE, the blends exhibited a clearly more long-chain branched behavior than the base materials. The thermorheological complexity analysis showed an apparent increase in the activation energies Ea determined from G′, G″, and especially δ. Ea(δ), which for LCB-mHDPE is a peak function, turned out to produce even more pronounced peaks than observed for LCB-mPE with narrow molar mass distribution and also LCB-mPE with broader molar mass distribution. Thus, it is possible to estimate the molar mass distribution from the details of the thermorheological complexity.

Abstract
Polymer blending is an effective method that can be used to fabricate new versatile materials with enhanced properties. The blending of two polymers can result in either a miscible or an immiscible polymer blend system. This present review provides an in-depth summary of the miscibility of LCST polymer blend systems, an area that has garnered much attention in the past few years. The initial discourse of the present review mainly focuses on process-induced changes in the miscibility of polymer blend systems, and how the preparation of polymer blends affects their final properties. This review further highlights how nanoparticles induce miscibility and describes the various methods that can be implemented to avoid nanoparticle aggregation. The concepts and different state-of-the-art experimental methods which can be used to determine miscibility in polymer blends are also highlighted. Lastly, the importance of studying miscible polymer blends is extensively explored by looking at their importance in barrier materials, EMI shielding, corrosion protection, light-emitting diodes, gas separation, and lithium battery applications. The primary goal of this review is to cover the journey from the fundamental aspects of miscible polymer blends to their applications.

MATERIALS 2020; 13:ma13153342. [PMID: 32727121 PMCID: PMC7435758 DOI: 10.3390/ma13153342] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/17/2020] [Revised: 07/21/2020] [Accepted: 07/22/2020] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
The study of processing characteristic and property optimization of ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) pipe is increasingly performed, mainly focusing on difficulties in the melting process and poor thermal-mechanical properties after forming, which have limited the wider engineering application of UHMWPE pipe. In this study, organo-montmorillonite (OMMT)-modified UHMWPE pipe with good thermal-mechanical properties was prepared by screw extrusion molding. First, high-density polyethylene was subjected to fluidity modification so that the screw extrusion molding of UHMWPE pipe was feasible. Then, OMMT-modified UHMWPE pipes under different addition amounts of OMMT were innovatively prepared by extrusion. Furthermore, the effects of the addition amounts of the compatibilizer HDPE-g-MAH and the silane coupling agent γ-(2,3-epoxy propoxy) propyl trimethoxy silane (KH560) on the thermal properties of OMMT-modified UHMWPE pipe were investigated for the first time. Compared with those of pure UHMWPE pipe, the Vicat softening temperature (from 128 to 135.2 °C), thermal deformation temperature (from 84.4 to 133.1 °C), bending strength (from 27.3 to 39.8 MPa), and tensile strength (from 20.8 to 25.1 MPa) of OMMT-modified UHMWPE pipe were greatly increased. OMMT-modified UHMWPE pipe with good thermal-mechanical properties was able to be prepared by extrusion for the first time. The compatibilizer method of HDPE-g-MAH was slightly more effective than the coupling agent method of KH560.
