Résumé : |
We investigated the effects of tacticity on crystallization and orientation development in melt spinning isotactic polypropylene (iPP) through air. Melt-spun fibers were characterized by wide-angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD), birefringence and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The melt-spun fibers usually exhibited the monoclinic α-crystalline form, but the mesomorphic form was found under certain processing conditions. The mesomorphic structure was formed more readily in low tacticity fibers. We found certain amounts of hexagonal β-crystalline form in all of the α-form fiber samples. The amouns were generally negligibly small, but the low tacticity fibers spun at high draw-down ratios exhibited significant amounts of β-form crystals. At low spinline stress levels, some low tacticity fibers exhibited lower birefringence and chain orientation than high tacticity fibers due to a less perfect crystal structure. At certain high spinline stress levels, low tacticity fibers exhibited much higher birefringence and chain-axis orientation levels than expected. This was attributed to a reduction in epitaxial lamellar branching (a*-axis oriented group in bimodal orientation). However, the extent of lamellar branching in low tacticity fibers appeared to increase again at higher stress levels. This led to a significant decrease in birefringence and crystalline orientation. |
