摘要

The combination of various SSNMR techniques quantified the multiscale dynamics heterogeneity of the plasticized Poly(vinyl butyral) (PVB) system: (1) the mesoscale dynamics heterogeneity where the plasticizer rich and poor domains coexist; (2) the chain dynamics heterogeneity of VB units with different stereogeometries; (3) the local mobility gradient for VB unit.

Abstract

The chain dynamics heterogeneity of the poly(vinyl butyral) (PVB) plasticized by triethylene glycol bis(2-ethylhexanoate) (TEG-EH) was investigated by various solid-state NMR techniques. The plasticized PVB shows two domains in distinct molecular dynamics differences

namely

rigid and soft domains

where the latter is the plasticizer-rich domain. The time domain low field NMR was first used to investigate the dynamics heterogeneity of the plasticized PVB

and the results show the decreasing activated energy of components in the soft domain of plasticized PVB (

=20.2 kJ/mol) as compared with that of the pristine one (

=24.3 kJ/mol). Detailed dynamics heterogeneity was obtained by high-field NMR with site-specific features. The quadrupole-echo

H-NMR was adopted to elucidate the dynamics heterogeneity of the vinyl alcohol (VA) units

where only the hydroxyl group of VA is deuterated. The

H-

C WISE NMR spectra show that there is not much difference in the mobility of the VB unit in PVB with and without plasticizer

whereas the glass transition temperature differed by approximately 53 °C. This is further supported by Torchia's

relaxation measurements. The origin of such an unusual phenomenon is attributed to the critical role of the remaining VA (~22%) in the soft domain

where the VA units locally aggregate through hydrogen bonding. Also

the existence of a mobility gradient in the VB unit has been demonstrated. Moreover

the mobility difference for VB with different stereo-geometry (

meso

racemic

conformation) is observed for the first time. This indicates the importance of modulating the ratio of

meso

over

racemic

VB for controlling the macroscopic performance of PVB.
