Abstract
In this study, we prepared unentangled and slightly entangled poly(L-lactic acid) telechelic ionomer samples (Mn=5 and 16 kg/mol) based on sodium sulfonate groups. The telechelic samples exhibit extremely slow crystallization kinetics below the melting temperature Tm and above the glass transition temperature Tg, which enables us to examine the linear viscoelasticity of the ionomer melt samples therein. The application of either the shear flow (at 85 °C) or elongational flow (between 70 and 90 °C) strongly accelerates the crystallization, leading to strong strain hardening and formation of highly oriented α crystals. Depending on the relative average rates of the strain-induced dissociation and strain-induced crystallization, the stress evolution can be classified into two cases, and the critical work for strain-induced crystallization is higher in case where the strain-induced dissociation occurs earlier than the strain-induced crystallization.
期刊介绍:
Chinese Journal of Polymer Science (CJPS) is a monthly journal published in English and sponsored by the Chinese Chemical Society and the Institute of Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences. CJPS is edited by a distinguished Editorial Board headed by Professor Qi-Feng Zhou and supported by an International Advisory Board in which many famous active polymer scientists all over the world are included. The journal was first published in 1983 under the title Polymer Communications and has the current name since 1985.
CJPS is a peer-reviewed journal dedicated to the timely publication of original research ideas and results in the field of polymer science. The issues may carry regular papers, rapid communications and notes as well as feature articles. As a leading polymer journal in China published in English, CJPS reflects the new achievements obtained in various laboratories of China, CJPS also includes papers submitted by scientists of different countries and regions outside of China, reflecting the international nature of the journal.
