Outline of Research at the Start

結晶性高分子材料のひずみ硬化現象は、材料の強度および靭性といった破壊現象に関わる重要な変形挙動であり、分子デザインによるひずみ硬化性の制御は高分子材料分野における長年の課題である。本研究では、エチレンおよびα-オレフィンのリビング重合が可能な新規錯体を用いることで、分子量や分子量分布、分岐構造といった分子構造を精密に制御した試料を自在に合成し、ひずみ硬化挙動を評価することで、ひずみ硬化挙動の新規分子論モデルの提唱に挑む。

Outline of Final Research Achievements

The macroscopic stress increases with increasing strain before the fracture of polymeric materials, which is called strain-hardening behavior" for various semi-crystalline polymers such as polyethylene (PE). The structural interpretation of the strain-hardening behavior is essential to improve the mechanical properties of polymers because the strain-hardening behavior strongly correlates to the strength and toughness of polymer materials.
In this study, PE samples with controlled amounts of specific molecular weight components were prepared. The amount of the molecular weight lower than 300,000 had no influence on the strain hardening, although the strain hardening was significantly improved by increasing the amount of the molecular weight higher than 300,000. These results suggest that the tie molecules connecting 6 lamellar crystalline layers act as stress transmitters between crystals, and the amount of the tie molecules connecting 6 lamellae dominates the strain-hardening behavior.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

結晶性高分子のひずみ硬化挙動はこれまで精力的に研究が行われてきた。特に、超高分子量の分率を増加させることでひずみ硬化性が向上することは報告されてきたが、ひずみ硬化性向上のメカニズムは理解されていなかった。本研究の成果を用いれば、ひずみ硬化性を効果的に改善するために必要な分子量分布を予測することが可能となり、従来の結晶性高分子と比較して劇的にひずみ硬化性および強度を改善することが可能となる。本研究ではPEをモデル試料として用いているが、ポリプロピレンなど他の結晶性高分子にも適用することができ、多くの結晶性高分子の物性改善が期待される。
