Abstract
Hindered phenol compound 3,9-bis{ ethyl}-2,4,8,10-tetraoxaspiro[5,5]-undecane
(AO-80) is polymorphous material with different physical structures. The
initial AO-80 is highly crystalline, whereas AO-80 obtained by cooling
from melt is an amorphous material. Annealing treatment below the melting
point of AO-80 results in structural development. The mixture of chlorinated
polyethylene (CPE) and vitrified AO-80 particles exhibits a dramatic change
in the dynamic mechanical properties during heat treating at 130 .
The change can be attributed to the decomposition of the vitrified AO-80
particles and the hybridization of two constituents. The vitrified AO-80
particles can crystallize again in a CPE matrix by annealing at 100,
but the crystal is different from the initial AO-80 in the microstructure.
In addition, the incorporation of CPE chains with AO-80 caused a dramatic
increase in the modulus. As a result, the AO-80 crystal particles containing
some CPE chains act as multifunctional cross-links and the CPE/AO-80 hybrid
was found to be a new type of elastomer.
