Xue-Wei Wei, Xin-Xin Zhao, Yi Li, et al. Distinctive Polymorphism-like Isodimorphism in Poly(propylene succinate-
In this study we have discovered a novel co-crystallization manner of random copolymer of poly(propylene succinate-ran-propylene fumarate)
which is belonging to crystallographic isodimorphism but intriguingly displays isomorphic thermal properties. The copolymers combine the advantages of both isodimorphism and isomorphism
leading to new performance design of polymer materials.
Co-crystallization of different monomeric units fundamentally contributes to the versatile and tunable performance of random copolymers. At present
the crystallization manners of random binary copolymers have been divided into three categories: isomorphism
isodimorphism and comonomer exclusion. Each category
however
has its own advantages and disadvantages. Therefore
it is challenging to design and prepare random copolymer sharing the advantages of isomorphism and isodimorphism through a new co-crystallization manner beyond the ones already exist. On the basis of previous study on poly(alkylene succinate-
ran
-alkylene fumarate) whose co-crystallization can be extensively and finely regulated by simply varying the chemical structure of alkylene
random copolymers of poly(propylene succinate-
ran
-propylene fumarate) (PPSF) are synthesized using 1
3-propanediol as the diol source. The thermal properties and crystal structure of PPSF are investigated
and
intriguingly
it is proved that PPSF is an isodimorphism system while displays similar composition-dependent thermal properties and crystallinity as isomorphism. That is
PPSF exhibits a novel co-crystallization behavior that has rarely been discovered
which would combine the advantages of both isomorphism and isodimorphism. Consequently
PPSF could be termed as a new-type
special composition-dependent polymorphism. Besides
the altering of PPS-like to PPF-like crystal structure of PPSF when changing chain composition has been proved to originate from the shift of dominant inter-segment interaction from van der Waals forces to strong hydrogen-bonding interaction. This work enriches the co-crystallization manner of random copolymers
leading to more diverse performance design of polymer materials.
