Herein, this work reports fiber spinning of tailored isotactic polypropylene (iPP) by melt spinning and melt drawing, yielding an adjustable diameter of 40-400 μm. The crystallinity of all obtained fibers with a molecular weight between 330-1400 kg/mol is increased by thermal annealing and investigated via differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) as well as wide angle X-ray scattering (WAXS). The potential of ultrahigh molecular weight iPP (UHMW-iPP) fibers compared to fibers manufactured from industrially available iPP becomes evident when the mechanical performance is compared: fibers spun from UHMW-iPP (1400 kg/mol) enable a tensile strength of up to 400 MPa, whereas commercially available fibers (330 kg/mol) show a tensile strength of approximately 50 MPa. However, UHMW-iPP exhibits a short timeframe, in which extrusion is possible, thereafter extrusion rupture occurs, probably induced by an increased melt viscosity.
在此,本工作报道了通过熔融纺丝和熔体拉伸对定制等规聚丙烯(iPP)进行纤维纺丝,得到直径可调节为40 - 400μm的纤维。通过热退火提高了所有分子量在330 - 1400 kg/mol之间的所得纤维的结晶度,并通过差示扫描量热法(DSC)以及广角X射线散射(WAXS)进行研究。当比较机械性能时,超高分子量iPP(UHMW - iPP)纤维与由工业可用iPP制造的纤维相比的潜力变得明显:由UHMW - iPP(1400 kg/mol)纺出的纤维能够实现高达400 MPa的拉伸强度,而市售纤维(330 kg/mol)的拉伸强度约为50 MPa。然而,UHMW - iPP表现出较短的可挤出时间范围,此后会发生挤出破裂,这可能是由熔体粘度增加引起的。
