The infrared emissivity of conducting polymers in 8—20μm and at 50—150℃ in the direction of normal line has been measured as a function of wavelength, conductivity at room temperature, counterion, doping levels, measuring temperature and thickness of sample.

The relationship between sequence distributions and molecular weight distributions of S-SBR, obtained from styrene and butadiene anionic copolymerization at various conversions with THF/Li+ as an initiator has been studied by 13C-NMR,GPC. The results showed that the molecular weight distributions of the copolymer couldbe correlated sophisticatedly to the binary sequcne distributions or the monomer unit distributions of the copolymer in a corrected Poisson's distribution from.

The preparation of PPy/PPTA conductive composite films by electrochemical method is presented.The first step is to cast a thin layer of poly (p-phenylene-terephthalamide) (PPTA) on a slice of Pt working electrode. The second step is to electrochemically polymerize pyrrole on the PPTA/Pt working electrode. Both of the electrical conductivity and the mechanical properties of the PPy/PPTA composite film are better than those of the pure PPy film, and the film has excellent flexibility at low temperature, even in liquid nitrogen.The SEM picture of the cross-section of PPy/PPTA composite film showed that the two components were well mixed.Cyclic voltammograms of PPy/PPTA film in aqueous solution showed that the conductive films could be reduced and reoxidized.

Conductive polymer composites based on crystalline polymer matrix have been prepared by using an in-situ polymerization process of pyrrole in amorphous poly (ethylene terephthalate) (PET) film. The DSC and WAXD measurement and SEM observation show that liquid-induced crystallization of PET matrix has occurred during the preparation of composite films. Depending upon the equilibrium degree of swelling and crystallinity, the limited depth of penetration of pyrrole molecules results in a skin-core structure of the composite film.The skin layer containing charge transfer intercalated polypyrrole has a surface resistance of 3.5×104.Rigid and heat-resistant polypyrrole molecules formed in PET film increase the tensile modulus and,especially,the rigidity of PET at elevated temperatures.However,they decrease the tensile strength and elongation at break,and impair the thermal ductility of PET.

Blends of polyamide (Nylon 66) with two different kinds of liquid crystalline polyesters were studied in all the composition range. Homogeneous samples were obtained by coprccipitation from 2 wt%. solution of blends. The thermal properties, crystallinity and morphology of these blends were studied by using DSC, polarizing microscopy, and scanning electron microscopy. The phase transition and morphology of the blends are markedly-influenced by the composition of liquid crystalline polyesters. The mechanical behaviour of PHB/HNA-Nylon 66 blend was improved although polyamide(Nylon 66)with the liquid crystalline polyesters were incompatible,but a rather strong interaction between the polymers did exist.

An insulate to metal transition was investigated based on the measurements of the dependence of the conductivity, activation energy on the protonation state of polyaniline (PANI). An isotropy in conductivity for stretched salt form of PANI was observed. For salt film of PANI, the Ⅰ-Ⅴ curve obeys Ohm's law, which shows a typical metal behavior, however, for base film or film with low protonation state, it can be explained by Space Charge Limited Current (SCLC). It is also found that the Ⅰ-Ⅴ curve of base film of PANI is independent of the work function of electrodes and the polymerization temperature.

The dynamics of a series of poly(n-alkyl methacrylates) is investigated by means of13C spin-lattice relaxation experiments. The results show that the dynamics has the polymer property dependence.

The non-isothermal crystallization kinetics of poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) modified by poly (ethlene glycol) (PEG) were determined by DSC. The dual linear regression method was used to evaluate the relationship between the reciprocal of t 1/2 ( the half life of crystallization) and the appropriate temperature variable. The parameters such as the activation energy (Ed) for transport, the equilibrium melting temperature (Tm0),the nucleation parameter (ψ),themaximum crystallization temperature (Tc,max), and the kinetic crystallizability (G) for the copolyesters were obtained.The influence of the PEG content in PET chains on the parameters characterizing crystallization kinetics and crystallization thermodynamics was discussed.

Crosslinked copolymers with single Li+-ionic conductivity were prepared from oligo (oxyethylene) methacrylate (MEOn), methacryloyl alkylsulfonic acid lithium (SAMLi), and oligo (oxyethylene) dimethacrylate (DMEOn). Li+-ionic conductivity of the copolymer is improved by crosslinking and presented as a function of polymerization degree (n) in MEOn, comonomeric salt concentration (O/Li), and crosslinking degree. The crosslinked copolymer P (0.7 MEO14-0.3DMEO14-SHMLi) without other small molecular additives exhibits an optimum Li+-ionic conductivity of 1.2×10-6S/cm at 25℃.De polarization test in the cell composed of Li/copolymer/Li shows a constant dc ionic conductivity which closes gradually to the ac one with decreasing dc polarization potential.

Microgel-epoxy resin two-phase polymers were prepared by in situ copolymerization of ethylenic monomers with unsaturated polyesters. The choice of monomers and the effect of monomer concentration on microgel particle size were discussed. Agglomeration of particles played a significant role in the early stage of polymerization. The microgel dispersion in epoxy resin was stable after the finish of polymerization. Upon curing the particles remained well dispersed.

New thermotropic chloro-bridged dinuclear palladium coordinating imine side chain liquid crystalline polysiloxanes have been synthesized. Their mesomorphic properties have been investigated by DSC, X-ray diffraction and polarizing microscopy. The polymeric complexes show nematicdiscotic (Nd) mesophase. It is found that the temperature range of liquid crystalline state of chloro- bridged polymeric complexes is much wider than that of acetato- bridged ones and imine side chain polysiloxane. This indicates that the disc-like chloro-bridged palladium complexing units play a role as mesogen in mesophase.

The AB-crosslinked polymers (i.e. ABCP) with polystyrene as chain A and vinyl group blocked prepolymers of polyurethanes (PU) as chain B were synthesized and studied. The results of dynamic mechanical spectrometry (DMS) show that the compatibility between the components A and B can be improved greatly through chemical crosslinking during the formation of ABCPs. This effect is especially pronounced when short chain prepolymers is chosen as one of the components. It is apparent that the degree of crosslinking between the two components palys a major role in determining their compatibility.Copolymerization of styrene with maleic anhydride in chain A can improve the compatibility and broaden the damping temperature range.Mechanical properties of the sythesized ABCPs were also studied.

Poly N-isopropyl acrylamide (abbreviated as PNIPA) as a kind of thermally sensitive hydrogel is utilized to concentrate Bovin Serum Albumin (BSA) solution. In order to decrease its surface adsorption to BSA in aqueous solution, surface layer grafting of the gels by radiation technology was carried out. The results showed that hydroxyl propyl methacrylate (HPMA) grained gel exhibited a low level of BSA adsorption and still kept the original thermally sensitive properties of PNIPA hydrogels.

The copolymerization of maleic anhydride and vinyl acetate in tetrahydrofuran was studied. Results show that the maximum copolymerization rate is in 0.6 mole fraction of maleic anhydride, indicating the involvement of maleic anhydride-tetrahydrofuran charge transfer complex in the chain initiation process. ESR study provides collateral evidence for the formation of maleic anhydride radical and tetrahydrofuran radical.
