摘要

聚乙烯的链段序列长度存在一定的分布并且活动能力较强，其在降温过程中不同长度的链段序列将在不同温度下结晶. 我们研究了不同熔体温度出发的聚乙烯在不同温度等温结晶一定时间后，在随后降温过程中的非等温结晶行为. 相对熔体温度，等温结晶温度与结晶时间对后续的非等温结晶行为影响更大. 在选定的等温结晶温度下，随着等温时间的延长，体系内参与结晶的链段逐渐增多，在后续降温过程中参与结晶的链段多为短链，因此非等温结晶对应的结晶温度会随着前序等温结晶时间的延长而逐渐降低. 在选定的等温结晶时间内，尤其是较短的结晶时间，结晶温度越高，体系内大部分链段来不及结晶，从而对后续的主链与支链的非等温结晶影响均较大.

Abstract

In general

the chain sequence length of polyethylene has a certain distribution and its molecular chain has a high mobility

which can continue to crystallize during cooling and forming ordered crystal structures with different thicknesses. The non-isothermal crystallization behavior of polyethylene after isothermal crystallization at different temperatures for a certain period of time starting from different melt temperatures was investigated by using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) technique in the present work. Compared to the melt temperature

the isothermal crystallization temperature and crystallization time have a stronger influence on the subsequent non-isothermal crystallization behavior. At the selected isothermal crystallization temperature

the number of crystallizable chain segments gradually increases with the extension of the isothermal time. As a consequence

the chain segments that can crystallize in the subsequent cooling process are mostly short chains

so the crystallization temperature corresponding to non-isothermal crystallization will gradually decrease with the extension of the pre-isothermal crystallization time. Within the selected isothermal crystallization time

especially the shorter the crystallization time

the higher the crystallization temperature

most of the chain segments in the system hardly crystallize

resulting in a significant effect on the subsequent non-isothermal crystallization process. Under such a condition

a higher crystallization temperature was always observed during non-isothermal crystallization process.
