Effects of shear strain on the early stages of crystallization of a commercial isotactic polypropylene are studied by dynamic mechanical experiments. Shear creep with large strains (up to γ = 300) on the undercooled melt for short times (the time did not exceed 100 s) was followed by small amplitude oscillatory shear (SAOS) at a strain amplitude (γ a = 0.01) for gel-point detection. The imposed shear strongly accelerates gelation; gel times decrease in a power law with increasing strain. Strain applied during the crystal growth stage enhances gelation much stronger than strain applied in the earlier nucleation stage. For rapid gelation, frequency sweeps are not possible and new methods for gel-point detection need to be explored; here, we propose to estimate the gel point from the storage modulus growth at a single frequency. A value of 10% of the total growth of G' was found to be a good estimate for the gel point. High strain experiments show the complexity of underlying mechanisms of strain-enhanced crystallization and reveal at least two sequential stages in the structure development under shear: at the first stage, crystalline regions connect molecules into a loose network; at the second, stage-intense crystallinity growth within the network proceeds. Results have industrial importance in predicting/tuning structure development and connectivity growth during nonisothermal processing. Morphological study of the early stages of crystallization under strain is underway to explore molecular mechanisms, which govern the gelation process.","PeriodicalId":16853,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Polymer Science.

The analysis is performed under aqueous, low-salt conditions where maximum complexation between gelatin and the polyelectrolytes occurs. The adsorption effects that are commonly encountered in conventional SEC for gelatin and other charged polymers chromatographed under these solution conditions are minimized, because the columns are constantly equilibrated with the analytes in the mobile phase. Analyte solutions of identical composition, but of higher or lower concentration than that contained in the mobile phase, are injected, resulting in positive or negative detector responses, respectively. This method can separate the complexes from individual components, and can be used to determine relative sizes and stoichiometries of the complexes as a function of both the input ratio of gelatin to polyelectrolyte and the molecular weight of the polyelectrolyte.","PeriodicalId":16853,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Polymer Science.

It was found that the thickness of the film and ambient relative humidity (RH) were crucial to the motion of film: An increase of the film thickness decreased the displacement of the bending but increased the bending stress. On the other hand, an increase of the ambient RH decreased both functions. The motion of film was caused by the difference of expansion on both sides of the film owing to anisotropic sorption of water vapor, which could be expressed by the diffusion-limited bending model. The diffusion coefficients calculated from the bending and recovery motion at 25°C, RH 50% were 12.2 × 10 -8 cm 2 s -1 and 3.5 × 10 -8 cm 2 s -1 , respectively.
