Welding of dissimilar materials is an area of growing importance in the automotive, aerospace, electronics medical and other domestic appliance industries. This study investigated the ultrasonic welding of dissimilar polymers. Two amorphous and two semicrystalline polymers were used, utilizing all possible welding combinations. For each combination of dissimilar materials, the weldabilitys of the joint was evaluated as a function of weld time, amplitude of vibration and pressure. The joint was also examined microscopically to analyze the melting and flow of the materials. It was generally around found that welding of amorphus polymers resulted in very poor joints. Welding of the amorphous polymers together and welding of the semicrystalline polymers together produced good joints.

The evolution of conformational constraints in bisphenol-A polycarbonate (BAPC) upon quiescent bulk crystallization was quantitatively analyzed from calorimetric study employing a rigid amorphous fraction (RAF) as an indicator of the level of conformational constraints. From the correlation between corrected crystallinity (X$\sub$c/) and total rigid fraction (f$\sub$r/), it was found that, regardless of molar mass distribution and thermal treatment conditions, semicrystalline BAPC always exhibits greater f$\sub$r/ than X$\sub$c/ maintaining a quantitative relationship of f$\sub$r/〓2X$\sub$c/ in the range of 0.0 $\sub$c/< 0.4. This directly indicates the evolution of approximately the same amount of RAF as X$\sub$c/, (i.e., RAF〓X$\sub$c/) upon bulk crystallization of BAPC. It was also found that T$\sub$g/ per se and T$\sub$g/ broadening enhance as RAF increases, and there appears to be a critical level of RAF (>0.2) needed to initiate significant changes in both quantities.

Joining of thermoplastics is an area of growing importance in the automotive, aerospace, electronics medical and other domestic appliance industries. While adhesive Bonding or mechanical fastening could be used to join thermoplastics, welding is very effective because of its speed and low cost. This study investgated the ultrasonic joining of thermoplastics. Four kinds of thermoplastics such as Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene, Polystyrene, Polyethylene and Polypropylene were used, ultilizing all possible joining combinations. In each combination of thermoplastics, the weldability of the joint was evaluated as a function of weld time, amplitude of vibration and pressure. It was generally found that joining of amorphous thermoplastics with semicrystalline thermopastics resulted in poor joints due to its different crystalline structure. Joining of the amorphous thermoplastics together and joining of the semicrystalline thermoplastics together produced the best joints owing to its same crystalline structure.

Recently, Manley's group published several papers on the blend of PVDF and poly(1, 4-butylene adipate) (PBA) chosen as a model system of somicrystallineisemicrystalline polymer blend.[1-4]. This blend system has several advantages over the other PVDF/semicrystalline polymer blends.(omitted)

Random copolymers are widely used as materials since they afford a convenient possibility of adjusting properties through the compositions of the copolymers. In the case of semicrystalline polymers, the degree of crystallinity generally decreases as the content of the minor component increases, leading often to fully amorphous materials even at low concentrations of the comonomer.

Poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) obtained by the saponification of poly(vinyl ester) is a linear semicrystalline polymer; these polymers have been widely used as fibers for clothes and industries, binders, films, membranes, medicines for drug delivery system, and cancer cell-killing embolic materials. PVA fibers have high tensile and compressive strength, tensile modulus, and abrasion resistance because of the highest crystalline lattice modulus. (omitted)

Poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) is a semicrystalline polymer whose hydroxyl groups produce inter-and intramolecular hydrogen bonding. The extent of hydrogen bonding is greatly affected by stereoregularity of hydroxyl groups, so-called tacticity, of PVA[1-3]. Hydrogen bonding has a profound effect on the rheological and mechanical properties of the polymer, which is largely determined by the density and spatial arrangement of hydroxyl groups. (omitted)

Polymer/clay nanocomposites have received much attention in recent years, because they often exhibit physical properties that are dramatically different from those observed in their micro- and rnacrocornposite counterparts. The presence of clay may affect the crystallization behavior of semicrystalline polymer. (omitted)

결정성을 갖는 에틸렌프로필렌디엔 고무($Nordel^{(R)}$ IP)를 과산화물로 가교시키고 열적, 기계적특성과 형상기억거동을 조사하였다. 겔함량 측정결과 가교도는 DCP 함량에 따라 증가되었으며, DSC 분석결과 가교된 고무는 결정상이 존재하고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 인장시험 결과가교도가 증가함에 따라 고무의 모듈러스는 증가되며 파단신율은 감소되었다. 이와 같이 가교구조 내에 결정상을 함유하는 고무는 우수한 형상기억 특성을 나타내었다. 즉, 이러한 고무는 결정상의 용융온도 이상에서 쉽게 원하는 형태로 변형되고, 변형된 상태에서 냉각시키면 변형된 형태로 잘 고정되었으며, 또한 이렇게 변형된 형상의 시료를 용융온도 이상으로 가열하면 원래의 모양으로 신속히 되돌아오는 것을 관찰할 수 있었다.
