Three triblock copolymers of poly[styrene-b-(ethylene-co-butylene)-b-styrene] (SEBS) of different molecular weights and one diblock copolymer of poly[styrene-b-(ethylene-co-butylene)] (SEB) were used to compatibilize high density polyethylene/syndiotactic polystyrene (HDPE/sPS, 80/20) blend. Morphology observation showed that phase size of the dispersed sPS particles was significantly reduced on addition...
The influence of crystallization temperature on formation of the α- and β-form crystals of syndiotactic polystyrene (sPS) was investigated by X-ray diffraction and non-isothermal differential scanning calorimetry analysis. For sPS samples without any thermal history, the crystallization temperature must be the intrinsic factor controlling the formation the α and β-form crystals. Being crystallized...
Blending of styrene-b-(ethylene-co-1-butene)-b-styrene (SEBS) triblock copolymers with syndiotactic polystyrene (PSsyn) has been performed in a Brabender mixer above the higher glass transition temperature of the triblock copolymer but below the PSsyn melting point. The large excess of the triblock copolymer over the homopolymer as well as the significant amount of plasticized amorphous PSsyn phase...
Crystal growth rates of syndiotactic polystyrene (sPS) and its blends with atactic polystyrene (aPS) at various temperatures (T c ) were measured using a polarized optical microscope (POM). In addition to the positively birefringent spherulites and axilites (P-spherulites and P-axilites) which are predominantly observed, small population of negatively birefringent spherulites (N-spherulites)...
The free radical-induced grafting of maleic anhydride (MA) onto syndiotactic polystyrene (sPS) has been accomplished in the solution process by using 1,1,2-trichloroethane as solvent and dicumyl peroxide as free radical initiator. The amount of MA grafted on sPS was evaluated by a titration method. Grafted products separated from the reaction mixture were purified and analyzed. Fourier transform infrared...
Positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy (PALS) measurements were performed on a series of syndiotactic polystyrene (s-PS) samples crystallized from the melt state. These s-PS samples contained either pure α or β forms with various crystallinities. The α and β crystalline forms are known to have densities very similar to the amorphous phase. The low-density is believed to be associated with nanovoids...
