摘要

PBC prepared via isothermal annealing and pre-stretching in different orders was assessed for crystallinity

mechanical properties

and microstructure to interpret the relationship between the microstructure and macroscopic properties. Here

shish structure emerged under pre-stretching process

crystallinity and tensile strength after annealing-stretching treatment increased to 24.45% and 104.5 MPa

respectively.

Abstract

Semicrystalline polymers usually undergo multilevel microstructural evolutions with annealing and stretching processes

which is essential to tailor the physical properties of the polymer. Here

poly(butylene carbonate) (PBC) sheets were prepared

via

isothermal annealing and unidirectional pre-stretching processes

then the changes of PBC in crystallinity

mechanical properties

thermal properties and microscopic changes before and after annealing and stretching were measured

as well as the relationship between microstructure and

macroscopic properties before and after stretching. The strengthening mechanism of PBC was also described. It was demonstrated that shish-kabab structure emerged under the pre-stretching process. With the increase of the tensile ratio

the crystallinity

structure and mechanical properties are increased differently. Among them

the crystallinity and tensile strength after annealing-stretching treatment increased to 24.45% and 104.5 MPa

respectively

which were about 1.55 times and 3.4 times of those without any treatment.
