Blending mechanical interlocking

Exclusively mechanically interlocked linear polymer blends, typically, are not thermodynamically phase stable. Given sufficient thermal energy (Tuse>Tg), molecular motion will cause disentanglement of the chains and demixing to occur. To avoid phase separation, crosslinking of one or both components results in the formation of a semi-IPN or full-IPN, respectively. Crosslinking effectively slows or stops polymer molecular diffusion and halts the phase decomposition process. [Pg.113]

Mechanical Interlocking of Components. In some instances the polymers in a blend may be prevented from demixing because of numerous mutual entanglements produced by mechanical processing or the polymerization history of the blend. [Pg.471]

Wool [57,78] suggests that these principles could be used to develop pretreatments which give a highly ramified, fractal surface to which high adhesion by mechanical interlocking would be expected. Consider a blend of polyethylene with a second phase, perhaps starch, amenable to removal by selective attack or dissolution. Above a critical concentration some of the second phase particles will be connected, forming a fractal structure. Treatment of the polyethylene surface, then, will leave fractal voids, receptive to an adhesive, such as a liquid epoxy resin. [Pg.92]

The immiscible blends of thermoplastic polymers are assumed to be compatible if the presence of a finely dispersed phase and the resistance to bulk phase separation/segregation result in satisfactory physical and mechanical properties. Compatibility is usually facilitated by copolymers, especially block or graft copolymers, with segments capable of specific interactions at the interface, thus resulting in a decrease of the interfacial tension and promoting mechanical interlocking by the interpenetration and entanglements between the blend components. [Pg.570]

Therefore, polyrotaxanes can be simply defined as polymeric materials containing rotaxane units. They are different from conventional linear homopolymers because they always consist of two components, a cyclic species mechanically attached to a linear species. They also differ from polymer blends as the individual species are interlocked together and from block copolymers since the two components are noncovalendy connected. Thus new phase behavior, mechanical properties, molecular shapes and sizes, and different solution properties are expected for polyrotaxanes. Their ultimate properties depend on the chemical compositions of the two components, their interaction and compatibility. This review is designed to summarize the syntheses of these novel polymers and their properties. [Pg.278]
