摘要
自核行为是聚合物结晶中的一个关键现象,化学结构对这种行为的影响已得到广泛研究。然而,其内在机理尚未完全阐明。本研究全面考察了一系列氟取代程度不同的聚烯烃的自核行为。氟原子的加入增加了聚烯烃链的极性,从而大大提高了自核能力,与聚乙烯相比,聚(氟乙烯)和聚(偏氟乙烯)的域 II 温度宽度明显扩大。然而,氟的进一步取代会降低含氟聚烯烃的自成核能力。然后,研究了自核能力与介电常数之间的相关性。研究发现,畴 IIb 的宽度随介电常数的增加而单调增加,但聚(偏氟乙烯)的畴 IIb 比聚(氟乙烯)略窄。然而,在聚(偏氟乙烯)中却出现了相当宽的领域 IIa。根据分子间的相互作用,可以合理地确定域 II 宽度与介电常数之间的相关性。此外,傅立叶变换红外光谱直接揭示了 C-F 和 C-H 之间的氢键相互作用是氟聚烯烃自核行为的根本原因。然而,结合乙烯-四氟乙烯交替共聚物、聚偏氟乙烯异构体和乙烯-氯三氟乙烯交替共聚物自核行为消失的现象,揭示了氟聚烯烃中可能存在的散射、孤立的 F-H-C 氢键并不是赋予自核行为的充分条件。因此,推测氢键长程连续结构的相互作用机制是氟聚烯烃显示自核能力的关键。这项工作加深了人们对氟聚烯烃自核结晶的理解,为熔融加工提供了指导。
Self-Nucleation Ability and Intermolecular Interactions Mechanism in Fluoropolyolefins
Self-nucleation behavior is a critical phenomenon in polymer crystallization, and the impact of the chemical structure on this behavior has been extensively investigated. However, the underlying mechanism has not been fully elucidated. In this study, the self-nucleation behavior of a series of polyolefins with varying degrees of fluorine substitutions is comprehensively surveyed. Incorporation of fluorine atoms, which increase the polarity of polyolefin chains, considerably improves the self-nucleation ability, resulting in an apparent expansion of the temperature widths of Domain II for poly(vinyl fluoride) and poly(vinylidene fluoride) in comparison with polyethylene. However, further fluorine substitution diminishes the self-nucleation ability of fluoropolyolefins. Then, the correlation between the self-nucleation ability and dielectric constant is studied. It is found that the width of Domain IIb increases monotonously with respect to dielectric constant, expect for poly(vinylidene fluoride) which exhibits a slightly narrow Domain IIb than poly(vinyl fluoride). However, a rather wide Domain IIa appears in poly(vinylidene fluoride). Based on the intermolecular interactions, a correlation between the width of Domain II and the dielectric constant is reasonably established. Further, Fourier transformation infrared spectroscopy directly reveals that the hydrogen-bonding interactions between C–F and C–H are the essential reason for the self-nucleation behavior of fluoropolyolefins. However, in combination with the intriguing disappearance of self-nucleation behavior for the ethylene–tetrafluoroethylene alternating copolymer, the isomer of poly(vinylidene fluoride), and ethylene–chlorotrifluoroethylene alternating copolymer, it is unveiled that the possible scattering, isolated F···H–C hydrogen bonds in fluoropolyolefin are not a sufficient condition for endowing self-nucleation behavior. Thus, an interacting mechanism of long-range continuous structure of hydrogen bond is speculated for the display of the self-nucleation ability of fluoropolyolefins. This work deepens the understanding of self-nucleation crystallization in fluoropolyolefins and provides guidance for the melt processing.
