Schmelz- und kristallisationserscheinungen bei makromolekularen substanzen. VI. Ergebnisse der röntgenklein- und weitwinkeluntersuchungen an polyglyk…

1962

Rontgenographische Untersuchungen ergaben, das die Kleinwinkelperiode im Verlauf der Nachkristallisation mit zunehmendem Kristallisationsgrad abnimmt. Ferner steigt nach dem Erhitzen einer bei 140°C auskristallisierten Probe auf eine hohere Temperatur die Kleinwinkelperiode zunachst stark an und nimmt wahrend der anschliesenden Neukristallisation wieder etwas ab. Die Deutung dieser experimentellen Ergebnisse wird diskutiert, wobei der Einflus des Bausteinfaktors berucksichtigt wird. Weitwinkeluntersuchungen zeigten, das bei der isothermen Kristallisation der Kristallisationsgrad zwar zunimmt, die Ordnung in Kettenrichtung aber nicht verbessert wird; diese hangt offenbar nur von der Kristall…

Crystallization and melting of fractions of branched polyethylene

1983

Effects of the molecular weight on the crystallization behaviour of branched polyethylene become observable if isothermal crystallization is studied at temperatures near to the melting end. Crystallinities decrease with decreasing molecular weight. Thicknesses of lamellae grown during isothermal crystallization are independent of the molecular weight. They depend only on temperature. Compared to the effect of the branches polydispersity gives only a minor contribution to the broadening of the crystallization and melting range of low density polyethylene.

Heat of crystallization significantly slows down polymer cooling and thus pressure drop increase during mould filling with thermoplastic crystalline polymers. If a correction of thermal diffusivity can account for such a cooling slow down at least as far as the effect on pressure drop is concerned, the use of nonisothermal crystallization kinetics may be avoided in the simulation of mould filling. A procedure to identify such a correction is outlined in this work. Pressure drop values during cavity filling calculated by using a corrected thermal diffusivity in the model proposed by Lord and Williams favourably compare with literature data taken with polypropylene and polyethylene resins.

Non-isothermal crystallization kinetics of PET

2000

The crystallization kinetics of poly(ethylene terephthalate) was studied using constant cooling rate, isothermal and quenching experiments. A non-isothermal crystallization kinetics equation based on a single mechanism was used to analyze the data. Different mechanisms of crystallization at low, intermediate, and high cooling rates were hypothesized based on deviation of the experimental data from the single mechanism model.

Use of transmission electron microscopy to obtain quantitative information about polymers

2005

In the polymer field the electron microscope is frequently used as a tool for obtaining purely qualitative data, but only rarely to obtain quantitative information. In order to discuss the potential of this instrument for the latter purpose it is convenient to separate the discussion into the following sub-sections.
