摘要

The solubility and diffusion rate of an additive in a polymer are critical to the performance of the additive. The solubility is the maximum amount of additive which can be present in the polymer at equilibrium at any given temperature, and any concentration above this represents supersaturation. It is a common feature of polymers that supersaturated additives migrate to the surface and precipitate there, forming an unsightly "bloom" and reducing the additive's effectiveness. The rate of blooming is controlled by the diffusion coefficient of the additive. If an additive is dissolved in the polymer at a concentration below saturation, then it can be lost into air only by evaporation, which is usually very slow, because of the low vapour pressure of typical stabilisers. However, if the polymer is in contact with a liquid which is a solvent for the additive, then loss will occur by leaching, at a rate controlled by the diffusion of the additive in the polymer. With this in mind, we can draw a number of conclusions about the behaviour of additives in polymers which have biphasic morphologies. 1. Additives are significantly more soluble in the soft, low T_g, high free-volume polymers typical of toughened polymers. The effect increases with temperature, and extrapolation of measured data suggests that stabilising additives are almost completely concentrated in the rubber phase at processing temperatures, and often significantly so even at ambient temperatures. 2. The effect of partitioning on thermo-oxidative stability will depend on the rate of migration of the additive between phases in response to its consumption. This may be a problem at high temperatures; at ambient temperatures oxidation is slow enough that redistribution of additives will be rapid, unless one phase of the polymer is glassy. The effect of partitioning of UV absorbers is less clear and must depend in part on the balance of chemical and physical action of the additive. 3. The presence of a soft phase will increase the overall solubility of an additive, and this will reduce the possibility of blooming and allow more additive to be used without loss. However, if the additive concentration becomes supersaturated, blooming will become much more rapid than in the unmodified polymer, because of the higher diffusion rate; this effect will be much more marked in polymers like the PEBEs when the soft phase fraction is above the percolation threshold. 4. Since the soft phase increases diffusion rate, it will also increase the susceptibility of toughened polymers to loss of additives by leaching; again, this effect will be much more marked when the soft phase fraction is above the percolation threshold.
