    Notes: Abstract The biodegradability of a multicomponent system based on biotechnological occurring polyester (poly(β-hydroxybutyrate-co-β-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV)) with inclusion of acrylate elastomer (polybutylacrylate) (PBA) was investigated. A bacterium which produced extracellular enzymes that degrades PHBV even when blended with PBA was isolated and tentatively designated asAureobacterium saperdae. It was observed, by morphological investigation, that, while the bacterial degradation was permitted for PBA content of 20% by weight, it was inhibited for PBA content of 30%, owing to the occurrence of a rubbery layer that prevents to the bacteria an easy accessibility in the PHBV-rich regions. In fact, owing the bacterial growth, only PHBV was metabolized, whereas no degradation of PBA was detected for blend samples. It was confirmed that the degradation proceeded via surface erosion of PHBV also in the blends. Finally, mechanical tests on PHBV/PBA specimens as a function of degradation extent have shown different behavior of the blends at different the PBA content. Thermal analysis of blends and PHBV has been reported, too

    Notes: Abstract The influence of glass fibres on the primary nucleation process, isothermal radial growth rate of spherulites and overall kinetic rate constant of isotactic polypropylene (iPP) has been examined. The polypropylene was also modified by means of acrylic acid (iPP*) in order to improve the adhesion between the matrix and the fibres, and the relative properties were compared with those concerning the composites having as matrix plain MR Moreover the mechanical properties of injection-moulded composites containing iPP and iPP* have been studied. These properties improved on increasing the fibre content. It was found that for the same glass-fibre content better values of the elongation at break and creep are observed in the case of reinforced polypropylenes having as matrix acrylic acid modified polypropylene.

    Description / Table of Contents: Poly(L-milchsäure) ist ein biokompatibler, semikristalliner, thermoplastischer Polyester mit ungünstigen mechanischen Eigenschaften. Daher wurde in einem “reactive blending”-Prozeß ein Acrylkautschuk, n-Butylacrylat, mittels einer Suspensionspolymerisation in Wasser auf in einem organischen Lösungsmittel gelöste Poly(L-milchsäure) gepfropft. Die gebildeten Copolymeren konnten isoliert und durch NMR-Spektroskopie und DSC-Messungen charakterisiert werden. Die Untersuchung der mechanischen Eigenschaften ergab keine befriedigenden Ergebnisse, weil die Kautschukphase wahrscheinlich aus viskosen linearen Makromolekülen besteht und daher keine elastischen Eigenschaften besitzt. In weiteren Arbeiten soll der Syntheseweg so modifiziert werden, daß durch den Einbau von Diacrylaten eine zumindest partielle Vernetzung der Kautschukphase erreicht wird.
    Notes: Poly(L-lactic acid) is a biocompatible polyester, semicrystalline, thermoplastic, with low versatility in mechanical properties. To overcome this problem, a reactive blending procedure was performed by grafting an acrylic rubber, n-butyl acrylate, via water suspension polymerization onto poly(L-lactic acid) dissolved in an organic solvent. It was possible to isolate the copolymeric phase formed from the two polymers and characterize it by using NMR and DSC techniques. Mechanical tests on blends gave no satisfactory response, probably because the rubbery phase is composed essentially of viscous linear macromolecules, not able to perform elastic properties. Work is in progress to modify the synthetic pathway to incorporate diacrylates in order to realize a rubbery phase at least partially cross-linked.

    Description / Table of Contents: Aus Weizenstrohfasern und Polypropylen (iPP) bzw. mit Maleinsäureanhydrid modifiziertem Polypropylen (iPPMA) wurden Composite hergestellt. Die Weizenstrohfasern wurden vor dem Einmischen in die Polypropylenmatrix einem Dampfexplosionsprozeß unterworfen, der bei Lignocellulosematerialien morphologische und strukturelle Veränderungen bewirkt, die zu einer Verbesserung der Wechselwirkungen mit der thermoplastischen Matrix führen können. Die modifizierte iPPMA-Matrix weist im Vergleich zur iPP-Matrix bessere mechanische Eigenschaften (Zug- und Schlagverhalten) und eine bemerkenswerte Verringerung der Wasseraufnahme, einer der Hauptnachteile von Compositen mit Naturfasern, auf. Die gute Grenzflächenhaftung in den iPPMA-Compositen kann mit den beim Mischen der Fasern mit der Polymerschmelze gebildeten kovalenten Esterbindungen zwischen den Maleinsäureanhydrid-Segmenten und den dampfbehandelten Fasern erklärt werden.
    Notes: Composites of wheat straw fibers with polypropylene (iPP) and maleic anhydride modified polypropylene (iPPMA) were prepared.Before being mixed with polypropylene matrices, the wheat straw fibers were subjected to a steam explosion process that induces morphological and structural changes in lignocellulosic materials. Such changes are able to enhance the interactions with the thermoplastic matrix.Compared with iPP, the modified matrix (iPPMA) has shown higher mechanical performances (tensile and impact behavior) and a remarkable decrease of water absorption, that is one of the main drawbacks of natural fiber composites.Finally, the presence of covalent bonds between maleic anhydride and steam-exploded (STEX) fibers, by means of an esterification reaction, produced during the melt-mixing process, can explain the resulting good interfacial adhesion found in iPPMA-based composities.

    Notes: Multicomponent polymeric systems containing Biopol as one of the phases are described as obtained according to two different procedures: radical polymerization of an acrylic polymer in the presence of Biopol, and melt-mixing of Biopol with polycaprolactone in the presence of peroxide. The decomposition of peroxide causes, in both cases, the formation of intergrafted species responsible for interfacial activity and compatibilization. The results of chemical, chemical-physical, morphological and mechanical tests, confirming the occurrence of such interactions, are reported.

    Notes: The crystallization behavior of high density polyethylene/isotactic polypropylene blends (HDPE/PP) was investigated. The overall kinetics of crystallization of HDPE may be strongly influenced by the addition of a small fraction of PP. At 398 K the half crystallization time of the blend containing 10% by weight of PP is around three times larger than for pure polyethylene. This effect may be accounted for by an increase in the melt viscosity of liquid HDPE caused by PP molecules. For crystallization temperatures high enough to prevent HDPE crystallization (Tc 〉 400 K), the presence in the melted blends of liquid HDPE influences the crystallization of PP. In fact, the half time of crystallization of PP increases with increasing the fraction of HDPE in the blend. The kinetics show a minimum at a well defined composition (around 60% in PP) before phase inversion. The same trend is observed when the surface free energy of folding and the lamellar thickness of crystals are reported as function of composition.

    Notes: The crystallization and thermal behaviour of crystallizable random propene/ethene copolymers (P-co-E) was systematically investigated. Index of crystallinity and, index of γ-form, enthalpy and entropy of fusion, equilibrium melting temperature, spherulite growth rate, and overall kinetic rate constant were determined and correlated with the overall ethene content and with the concentration of specific chemical defects as determined by 13C NMR analysis (PEP, EPP, EPE triads). The samples of the copolymers, obtained with very-high-yield Ziegler-Natta catalysts, were characterized by IR, 13C NMR, wide angle X-ray scattering, and differential scanning calorimetry.

    Notes: The effect of short-length carbon and Kevlar fibers on the crystallization of isotactic polypropylene (iPP) in composites prepared by compression molding has been investigated. The tendency of carbon and Kevlar fibers to nucleate the iPP during isothermal and nonisothermal crystallization has been evaluated by differential scanning calorimetry. The influence of different thermal histories used to prepare the unreinforced and reinforced samples on the crystallization parameters of iPP was examined. In addition, the tensile behavior was related to the resulting morphologies of the samples. It was observed that the crystallinity content, obtained by using different thermal treatments (slowly cooling or quenching), gives rise to different morphologies by influencing the mechanical behavior of materials as well. Moreover, the composites obtained by slow cooling seem to present a better fibber/matrix adhesion then that found in quenched samples. Possible underlying microstructures, which can explain the properties and the morphological characteristics, are also discussed.
