Description

Polymer blend
The field of the invention
The present invention relates to some novel polymeric compositions.More particularly, the present invention relates to comprise the novel polymeric compositions of some biodegradable polyester and softening agent.
The background of invention
Polymer materials can be used for replacing other material to be used for many final application.This type of material provides the various performances identical with substitute material, and also gives additional, valuable performance.Chemical resistant properties, flexibility and " sense of touch " are some in these unique quality.Yet polymer materials is not flexible in some cases, does not have required sense of touch yet, can't be used for the expectation purposes in them.The polymkeric substance experience is known as a kind of transformation of second-order transition temperature or Tg.This temperature be often registered as along with variation of temperature in thermal capacity, density, the mid point of curve when occurring discontinuity regional on the performances such as obstruct.Under this temperature, polymkeric substance will be because of in the increase that is higher than molecular motion under this temperature or be lower than the stopping of molecular motion under this temperature (so polymkeric substance become more apparent rigidity) and basic (radical) takes place on performance change.Only be higher or lower than this product under a lot of situations of room temperature at Tg a little and be considered to flexible.Usually, this Tg is lower than room temperature more, and it will become flexible more.Product for the polymkeric substance that needs higher flexibility and Geng Gao softness sense of touch, lower modulus can realize by reducing Tg by two kinds of methods: the adjusting of forming by polymkeric substance (as using polyethylene and ethylene copolymers) allows this polymkeric substance be designed to have than hanging down the additive that Tg or interpolation are known as softening agent, and can the latter reduce the Tg of polymer composition to be fit to required use temperature.When the Tg of polymkeric substance was in or be lower than Normal Environmental Temperature (30 ℃ to 60 ℃), typically thinking did not need further to reduce Tg.Yet the further reduction of Tg is desirable, and for example, when (1) enhancing, shock resistance and/or increment additive are brought up to modulus on the product requirement; (2) environment use temperature and condition are variable, resemble under the situation of round-the-clock boots or footwear; (3) this polymer materials can only use under the temperature far below the Normal Environmental Temperature condition; (4) reduce Tg, make product under the Normal Environmental Temperature condition, have bigger softness sense of touch.
Though having inherently, the polymkeric substance of low Tg can design and prepare, but resulting polymers does not have other key property in some cases, for example, the polymkeric substance that has inherently low Tg may demonstrate the surface viscosity of raising and cause bigger binding property for the surface.Therefore, will adhere to they itself, reach the combination degree that allows goods or film coalescence become an integral body by the goods of this material manufacturing.A kind of mode that overcomes this shortcoming is to increase to form the crystalline potentiality that have far above the melt temperature of environment use or storage or transport temperature from the teeth outwards, thereby at goods, staying on the surface of film or sheet material can the bonded cortex.Another mode that overcomes surface viscosity is to introduce " antiblocking " additive, mineral or high-tg polymer more, their this on polymer surfaces, occur, new surface mainly is provided on film or goods, have the adhesion characteristic of additive.These two kinds of methods all tend to improve modulus,, improve rigidity that is, have partly negated required softness sense of touch.
Reduce the situation of the Tg of polymer materials for adding softening agent, desirable effect be by in addition have the interpolation of the material of lower Tg and/or higher reactivity (general much lower molecular weight) to realize than polymkeric substance.Suitable or compatible softening agent is incited somebody to action:
(1) be increased in oilness between the polymer chain and the end of the chain by blocking Intermolecular Forces, therefore reduce any three-dimensional interactions (formation gel structure) and prevent they structural transformation and, the ability that raising slides over each other;
(2) spacing of increase between the interaction chain produces bigger free volume on effect, thereby allows chain and their end of the chain and side chain bigger rotary freedom to be arranged, crawling movement and vibration;
(3) increase free volume by the sum that increases the end group contribution for matrix;
(4) between chain, produce liquid and allow chain accept continuous solvation and the desolvation of softening agent chain and end group;
(5) form crystal by improving organized potentiality, thereby or reduce crystal and reduce modulus.For example referring to, people such as Sears, The Technology of Plasticizers, 2 and 3 chapters, Wiley-interscience Publications/John Wiley and Sons, Inc., (1982) and Encyclopedia of Polymer Science and Technology, 4 volumes, JaquelineKroschwitz, executive editor, Wiley-interscience Publications/John Wileyand Sons, Inc., (2003).
Though plasticization effect listed above the most usually mentions that in the literature single theory can't successfully be applied to whole interactions of various softening agent and various polymkeric substance.Along with the arrival of NMR, have been found that this interaction is complicated more.People such as Sears, TheTechnology of Plasticizers provides plasticising theoretical and its broad interpretation of mechanism.
For some application, for example, instrument loading and unloading, sole and sports goods, the softness perception of increase and bigger flexible scope are that to satisfy the industrial requirements of the final application of being advised needed.
General introduction of the present invention
