Crystallization behavior of the novel LLDPE and its molecular characteristics

Crystallization behavior of the single-site catalysed ethylene-octene-1 copolymer (LLDPE) has been investigated. The results indicate that the distribution of branches in the novel LLDPE is more homogeneous and regular than that in materials prepared with Ziegler-Natta catalysts. However, there is still some variability in inter-branch separation. The work has confirmed that branches trend to be excluded from crystals formed by branched polyethylene, but it is dependent on branch distribution and crystallization dynamics.

Crystallization behavior of blends of high-density polyethylene with novel linear low-density polyethylene

Blends of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) with novel linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) samples in the whole range of compositions were investigated by means of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) and wide-angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD). The LLDPEs are ethylene/octene-1 copolymers prepared with a single-site catalyst, with a narrower distribution of branches compared to Ziegler-Natta type polymers. It was found that cocrystallization or separate crystallization in the blends profoundly depends on the content of branches in the LLDPE, while the critical branch content of the novel LLDPE for separate crystallization is much lower than that of commercial LLDPE (prepared with Ziegler-Natta catalysts). This implies that the miscibility of linear and branched polyethylene is also affected by the distribution of branches. The marked expansion of the unit cell in cocrystals, which are formed by HDPE with the novel LLDPE, indicates that the branches are included in the crystal lattice during the cocrystallization process. The result is very helpful to understand the phenomenon that the unit cell dimensions of commercial branched polyethylene are larger than those of linear polyethylene.

Processing characteristics and mechanical properties of metallocene catalyzed linear low-density polyethylene foams for rotational molding

The object of this work is to assess the suitability of metallocene catalyzed linear low-density polyethylenes for the rotational molding of foams and to link the material and processing conditions to cell morphology and part mechanical properties (flexural and compressive strength). Through adjustments to molding conditions, the significant processing and physical material parameters that optimize metallocene catalyzed linear low-density polyethylene foam structure have been identified. The results obtained from an equivalent conventional grade of Ziegler-Natta catalyzed linear low-density polyethylene are used as a basis for comparison. The key findings of this study are that metallocene catalyzed LLDPE can be used in rotational foam molding to produce a foam that will perform as well as a ZieglerNatta catalyzed foam and that foam density Is by far the most Influential factor over mechanical properties of foam. © 2004 Society of Plastics Engineers.

The rotational molding characteristics of metallocene polyethylene skin/foam structures

This article reports on the results of ongoing work in which the foaming characteristics of metallocene-catalyzed linear low density polyethylenes for rotational molding are investigated. Earlier publications related rheological and thermal parameters to the polymer structure and mechanical properties and found that metallocene polyethylene can be used in rotational foam molding to produce a foam that will perform as well as a Ziegler-Natta catalyzed foam. Through adjustments to molding conditions, the significant processing and physical material parameters, which optimize metallocene catalyzed linear low-density polyethylene foam structure, have been identified. This article details the optimum processing route for the production of two layer skin/foam parts using the drop box method. © SAGE Publications 2007.

Modelagem da cinética de polimerização em lama de eteno

A modelagem matemática é uma ferramenta que apresenta diversas vantagens no estudo de processos industriais como, por exemplo, entender e desenvolver tecnologias, avaliar o impacto de variáveis nas propriedades do produto, estudos de redução de custos de produção e de impacto ambiental. O objetivo deste trabalho é desenvolver e validar um modelo matemático para um reator de bancada de polimerização em lama de eteno, enfatizando o desenvolvimento do modelo cinético. O modelo do reator contemplou: 1) modelo de troca térmica; 2) modelo termodinâmico; 3) modelo de transferência de massa gás-líquido e 4)modelo cinético. Para uma melhor predição do modelo foi realizada a estimação de alguns dos seus parâmetros conforme uma metodologia que compreendeu a análise de sensibilidade paramétrica e das variáveis de entrada do modelo e os efeitos de um planejamento de experimentos para a geração dos dados experimentais. A metodologia utilizada mostrou-se eficiente na avaliação do modelo quanto as suas características de predição, ajudando na identificação de possíveis falhas e evidenciando as vantagens de uma adequada metodologia experimental. Uma etapa determinante para o processo de estimação dos parâmetros é a escolha dos dados de saída a utilizar para a estimativa de determinado parâmetro. A modelagem do reator experimental mostrou-se satisfatória em todos os aspectos do processo (troca térmica, cinética, termodinâmica e transferência de massa), pois o modelo prediz com precisão as características encontradas nos experimentos. Assim, este pode ser utilizado para avaliar o mecanismo reacional envolvido de forma a aproximar-se das reais características do processo.

Efeitos estéricos e eletrônicos de substituintes alquilas em catalisadores titanocênicos solúveis na polimerização sindioespecífica de estireno

Titanocenos são catalisadores solúveis conhecidos para a polimerisação estereoespecífica de olefinas pró-quirais como o estireno. Nesse trabalho descrevemos as relações entre as características do poliestireno e a estrutura do precursor do catalisador, de fato aqueles da família (RCp)2TiCl2 (R = H, etila, iso-propila, n-propila, sec-butila, n-butila, iso-amila e ciclohexila). Todos os catalisadores são ativos para a produção de poliestireno acima de zero graus centígrados. A sindiotaticidade dos polímeros são dependentes da cadeia lateral dos anéis aromáticos do titanoceno e da temperatura da polimerização. A relação entre os fatores estéricos e eletrônicos do precursor do catalisador e os produtos de polimerização são apresentados e discutidos.
