Functionalized phenoxy-imine catalyst for synthesizing highly crystalline nascent UHMWPEs: Isothermal crystallization kinetics of less-entangled systems
This study compares the isothermal crystallization kinetics of nascent less-entangled UHMWPE (PE_30°C_60min, synthesized via 5F-BAOFI/MAO) with conventional highly entangled C-UHMWPE of similar molecular weight. Avrami kinetic and Lauritzen-Hoffman analysis revealed that chain entanglement density critically governs crystallization behavior. The less-entangled PE_30°C_60min demonstrated superior crystallizability, evidenced by more crystalline domains in longer crystallization times compared to C-UHMWPE. Lauritzen-Hoffman calculations quantified interfacial energy differences: PE_30°C_60min exhibited a lower free energy of fold surface (σe = 8.16 × 10-2 J ‧ m-2) compared to C-UHMWPE (σe = 0.11 J ‧ m-2), confirming that reduced chain entanglement enhances crystal growth kinetics. These results establish that tailored synthesis conditions controlling nascent chain entanglement effectively modulate UHMWPE crystallization kinetics and material properties.
期刊介绍:
Thermochimica Acta publishes original research contributions covering all aspects of thermoanalytical and calorimetric methods and their application to experimental chemistry, physics, biology and engineering. The journal aims to span the whole range from fundamental research to practical application.
The journal focuses on the research that advances physical and analytical science of thermal phenomena. Therefore, the manuscripts are expected to provide important insights into the thermal phenomena studied or to propose significant improvements of analytical or computational techniques employed in thermal studies. Manuscripts that report the results of routine thermal measurements are not suitable for publication in Thermochimica Acta.
The journal particularly welcomes papers from newly emerging areas as well as from the traditional strength areas:
- New and improved instrumentation and methods
- Thermal properties and behavior of materials
- Kinetics of thermally stimulated processes
