摘要

Abstract

The phase transition from tetragonal form II to hexagonal form I was studied for the butene-1/ethylene and butene-1/1

5-hexadiene random copolymers

which have comparable molecular weight but distinct linear ethylene and ringlike methylene-1

3-cyclopentane (MCP) structural co-units

respectively. It is known that this solid phase transition follows the nucleation-growth mechanism

so the stepwise annealing protocol was utilized to investigate the influences of co-units on the optimal nucleation and growth temperatures. Compared with optimal nucleation and growth temperatures of −10 and 35 °C

respectively

in polybutene-1 homopolymer

two butene-1/ethylene copolymers with 1.5 mol% and 4.3 mol% co-units have the slightly lower optimal nucleation temperature of −15 °C but much higher optimal growth temperature of 50 °C. Clearly

the effect of ethylene co-unit is more significant on varying optimal temperature for growth than for nucleation. Furthermore

when the incorporated co-unit is ringlike MCP

the optimal nucleation temperature is −15 °C for 2.15 mol% co-units

the same with above BE copolymers

but −13 °C for a very low concentration of 0.65 mol%. Interestingly

the optimal growth temperature of butene-1/1

5-hexadiene copolymers with 0.65 mol%−2.15 mol% MCP co-units increases to 55 °C

which is also independent on co-unit concentration. These obtained values of optimal temperatures provide crucial parameters for rapid II-I phase transition.
