The critical work for the strain-induced formation of crystallization of unentangled or slightly entangled poly(L-lactic acid) telechelic ionomers depends on whether it appears before or after the stress overshoot attributable to strain-induced ion dissociation.
Abstract
In this study
we prepared unentangled and slightly entangled poly(
L
-lactic acid) telechelic ionomer samples (
M
n
=5 and 16 kg/mol) based on sodium sulfonate groups. The telechelic samples exhibit extremely slow crystallization kinetics below the melting temperature
T
m
and above the glass transition temperature
T
g
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.
