Abstract:This study investigates the characteristic endothermic peaks of ionomers, Ti, appears at lower temperature than the melting point. We evaluate the thermal properties of ionomers under various heat treatment conditions with DSC. The Ti peak temperature and endothermic peaks area increase with longer heat treatment time. For more detailed analysis, we evaluate the nanoscale structure with small-angle and wide-angle X-ray scattering measurements. The correlation length between polyethylene crystals increases with… Show more
