| Popis: | Poly(butylene terephthalate)-poly(ethylene oxide)-poly(dimethyl siloxane)-poly(ethylene oxide) block copolymers, (PBT-PEO-PDMS-PEO) m , are synthesized by polycondensation (PC) of dimethylterephtalate (DMT), 1,4-butanediol (BDO) and PEO-PDMS-PEO. The soft block has been incorporated from 10 to 70 wt-%; the total molecular weight (MW) of the block-copolymers amounts to 16000 - 20000 g/mol. One major problem of polyether-PBT thermoplastic elastomers is their poor thermo-oxidative stability. Due to the excellent heat stability of PDMS, the resistance of this new thermoplastic elastomer against thermo-oxidative degradation has been increased 80 %! From differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and dynamic mechanical thermal analysis (DMTA) in the PEO-PDMS-PEO based COPEs, three phases can be distinguished. Besides the crystalline PBT phase, an amorphous mixed phase of PBT and PEO and an almost pure PDMS phase have been found. Due to the high concentration of the mixed PBT-PEO phase, the low temperature modulus and the glass transition temperature, Tg, are not dominated by the pure PDMS phase (Tg = -114 °C). Depending on the amount of PBT and PEO present, the main glass transition lies in the range of-50 °C to 50 °C. |
