Light scattering studies on spherulite morphology and crystallization behavior of transparent crystalline cyclo olefin polymer
We investigated the spherulite morphology and crystallization behavior in a novel crystalline cyclo olefin polymer of syndiotactic hydrogenated poly (endo-dicyclopentadiene) (SH-DCP) by light scattering measurements using a short-wavelength laser at 450 nm. A four-leaf clover Hv (cross-polarized) light scattering pattern was observed in the highly transparent crystallized SH-DCP, indicating the formation of spherulite consisting of radially arranged crystals. During the isothermal melt crystallization, a circular Hv scattering pattern changed to yield the four-leaf clover pattern and the spherulite radius estimated from the scattering profiles decreased, suggesting that the structure in the spherulite changed from randomly arranged crystals to radially arranged crystals, and the number of smaller spherulites increased during the crystallization. At the late stage of crystallization, the Vv (parallel-polarized) light scattering intensity decreased and was close to the weak Hv one as the refractive index difference in each spherulite decreased due to the homogenization of the crystal arrangement, which may contribute to the transparency of the crystallized SH-DCP. Light scattering measurement using a short-wavelength laser is powerful for evaluating the spherulite morphology and crystallization behavior of transparent crystalline polymers composed of small spherulites.
期刊介绍:
Polymer Testing focuses on the testing, analysis and characterization of polymer materials, including both synthetic and natural or biobased polymers. Novel testing methods and the testing of novel polymeric materials in bulk, solution and dispersion is covered. In addition, we welcome the submission of the testing of polymeric materials for a wide range of applications and industrial products as well as nanoscale characterization.
The scope includes but is not limited to the following main topics:
Novel testing methods and Chemical analysis
• mechanical, thermal, electrical, chemical, imaging, spectroscopy, scattering and rheology
Physical properties and behaviour of novel polymer systems
• nanoscale properties, morphology, transport properties
Degradation and recycling of polymeric materials when combined with novel testing or characterization methods
• degradation, biodegradation, ageing and fire retardancy
Modelling and Simulation work will be only considered when it is linked to new or previously published experimental results.
