HYDROGEN-BONDING INDUCED CHANGE OF CRYSTALLIZATION BEHAVIOR OF POLY(BUTYLENE SUCCINATE) IN ITS MIXTURES WITH BISPHENOL A

摘要

In the present work,the blend of poly(butylene succinate)(PBS)and bisphenol A(BPA)was prepared by solution mixing,and the intermolecular interactions between the two components were characterized by a combination of nuclear magnetic resonance(NMR)and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FTIR).The results showed that intermolecular hydrogen-bonding forms between the carbonyl group of PBS and phenol hydroxyl of BPA.With the increase of BPA content,more hydrogen bonds were formed.The effect of hydrogen bonding on the crystallization behavior of PBS was investigated by differential scanning calorimetry(DSC)and polarized optical microscopy(POM).The results showed that the overall isothermal crystallization kinetics and the spherulite growth rate of PBS decrease with the increase of BPA content,while the PBS spherulite size increases with BPA content.
