摘要:

提出了空间分布,其定量地捕获聚合物性质(例如,链段排列、密度和势能)随着离原型聚乙烯熔体中的新生聚合物晶体(核)的距离而变化。它揭示了核和它们的接口的空间范围是度量依赖的核内部是固体样的程度。随着与核的距离增加,一些性质(例如密度)比聚合物链段排列更快地衰减为熔融状行为,这表明聚合物核存在于向列状液滴中。这种向列状液滴区域与不是核的一部分的有序聚合物片段的增强形成相一致。它是更有利的,找到非成分有序的聚合物段附近的核比在周围的亚稳熔体,指向一个核诱导其他核的形成的可能性。这些发现提供了非流动条件下聚合物晶体成核和流动条件下聚合物晶体成核之间的概念桥梁,并用于合理化以前的结果。

英文摘要:

Spatial distributions are presented that quantitatively capture how polymer properties (e.g., segment alignment, density, and potential energy) vary with distance from nascent polymer crystals (nuclei) in prototypical polyethylene melts. It is revealed that the spatial extent of nuclei and their interfaces is metric-dependent as is the extent to which nucleus interiors are solid-like. As distance from a nucleus increases, some properties, such as density, decay to melt-like behavior more rapidly than polymer segment alignment, indicating that a polymer nucleus resides in a nematic-like droplet. This nematic-like droplet region coincides with enhanced formation of ordered polymer segments that are not part of the nucleus. It is more favourable to find non-constituent ordered polymer segments near a nucleus than in the surrounding metastable melt, pointing to the possibility of one nucleus inducing the formation of other nuclei. These findings provide a conceptual bridge between polymer crystal nucleation under non-flow and flow conditions, and are used to rationalize previous results.
