Miscibility of Polyolefin Blends
Phase separation in polymers is important for many technical applications but is difficult to predict theoretically. Recently, extensive experimental studies on the miscibility of polyolefins revealed that these systems display a wider variety of mixing behavior than their chemical similarity suggests. In order to predict phase diagrams of polyolefin blends from pure component properties, we ha...
متن کاملStructure Development from Simultaneous Phase Separation and Crystallization of Metallocene Polyolefin Blends
Introduction Olefin polymers are the most widely used materials in the plastics industry today. To optimize their properties and processibility, blending is often used. This is particularly important for the metallocene-catalyst based polyolefins. By altering certain shear-thinning and strain-hardening characteristics, blending can enhance the processibility of the material. This is in addition...
متن کاملEntropically driven helix formation.
The helix is a ubiquitous motif for biopolymers. We propose a heuristic, entropically based model that predicts helix formation in a system of hard spheres and semiflexible tubes. We find that the entropy of the spheres is maximized when short stretches of the tube form a helix with a geometry close to that found in natural helices. Our model could be directly tested with wormlike micelles as t...
متن کاملPhase and microphase separation in polymer blends
When two different polymers are mixed, they usually demix because of the slight repulsive interaction that exists between their monomers. This is general and may be related to phase separation in two component mixtures. When the same polymer blend is cross-linked in the one phase region, elastic forces develop and do not let this to occur. There results a microphase separation, with coexistence...
متن کاملFull Scan GPC-IR Characterization of Polyolefin Copolymers & Blends
The DiscovIR-LC is a powerful new tool for materials analysis. When connected to the outlet of a LC column, the DiscovIR deposits LC eluants as a continuous solvent-free track on an infrared transparent substrate. The built-in interferometer simultaneously captures a set of time-ordered infrared spectra from the deposited track. Sample data collection and data processing are executed by GRAMS A...
