摘要/Abstract

摘要： Functional multiblock poly(ether-b-amide) (PEBA) copolymers, comprised of PA1212 (polyamide 1212) as hard segments and Jeffamine ED-2003 as soft segments, were successfully prepared via two-step melt polycondensation without any amidation catalyst. Here, using diamino-terminated poly(propylene oxide)-poly(ethylene oxide)-poly(propylene oxide) (PPO-PEO-PPO), Jeffamine ED-2003, enhances the compatibility between polyamide oligomer and polyether, which is better than the traditional route using hydroxyl-terminated polyether. The chemical structure of multiblock PEBAs, as well as the microphase separated structure with crystalline phase of polyamide and polyether, were confirmed by heteronuclear multiple-bond correlation spectrum, heteronuclear multiple quantum correlation spectrum, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), differential scanning calorimetry and dynamic mechanical analysis. The hydrophilic PEBA copolymers showed water adsorption ranging from 87.3% to 17.1% depending on the polyether content, and specially showed moisture responsive behavior within seconds when exposed to moisture. The corresponding mechanism was studied using time-resolved attenuated total reflectance FT-IR spectroscopy in the molecular level and the water diffusion coefficient was estimated to be 1.07×10^–8 cm²·s^-1. Two-dimensional correlation FT-IR spectra analysis was performed to confirm that the interaction between water and polyether phase was in preference to that between water and polyamide matrix, and water molecule only forms hydrogen bond with the polyether segment. Due to the incorporation of PEO segments, the PEBAs have the surface resistivity varying from 5.6×10⁹ to 6.5×10¹⁰ Ω, which makes PEBA potential candidate as permanent antistatic agent.
