化學(xué)的特性
Poly(4-methyl-1-pentene) was first introduced in 1965 by Imperial Chemical
Industries Ltd (UK) but since 1975 the polymer has been manufactured solely
by Mitsui Petrochemical Industries Ltd. Polymerization is carried out using
a Ziegler-Natta catalyst such as titanium trichloride/diethylaluminium chloride in a hydrocarbon diluent at atmospheric pressure and 30-60°C:
The commercial material contains a comonomer, possibly 1-hexene, which
enhances clarity. The polymer configuration is predominantly isotactic.
Generally, this material has the basic physical properties to be expected
from a crystalline polyolefin but in some respects it offers significant improvements over other polyolefins. One outstanding property of poly(4-methyl-l-pentene) is the very low specific gravity, which at 0.83 is the lowest of current
polymers. The crystalline melting point is 240°C and the Vicat softening
temperature is 179°C; these high values mean that a useful form stability is
maintained up to about 200°C. The transparency of the polymer is of a high
order, being comparable to poly(methyl methacrylate) and polystyrene.
Poly(4-methyl-l-pentene) exhibits resistance to oxidizing and other chemical
environments broadly similar to that shown by polypropylene; however,
poly(4-methyl-l-pentene) does undergo environmental stress cracking
comparable to low density polyethylene. The permeability of poly(4-methyl-I-pentene) to gases and water vapour is considerably higher than that for
other polyolefins. Poly(4-methyl-l-pentene) may be extruded and injection
moulded using standard equipment. The material has been used in several
applications where transparency and heat resistance are required, e.g. medical and laboratory ware.
使用
