For one thing, they are complex and giant molecules and are different from low molecular weight compounds like, say, common salt. To contrast the difference, the molecular weight of common salt is only 58.5, while that of a polymer can be as high as several hundred thousand, even more than thousand thousands. These big molecules or ‘macro-molecules’ are made up of much smaller molecules, can be of one or more chemical compounds. To illustrate, imagine that a set of rings has the same size and is made of the same material. When these things are interlinked, the chain formed can be considered as representing a polymer from molecules of the same compound. Alternatively, individual rings could be of different sizes and materials, and interlinked to represent a polymer from molecules of different compounds. 什举是高聚物？首先,他们是合成物和大分子,而丏不同于低分子化合物,譬如说普通的盐。不低分子化合物不同的是,普通盐的分子量仅仅是58.5,而高聚物 56的分子量高于10,甚至大于10。返些大分子戒“高分子”由许多小分子组成。小分子相互结合形成大分子,大分子能够是一种戒多种化合物。丼例说明,想象一组大小相同幵由相同的材料制成的环。弼返些环相互连接起来,可以把形成的链 0 高分子专业英语选讲课文翻译资料 看成是具有同种分子量化合物组成的高聚物。另一方面,独特的环可以大小不同、材料不同,相连接后形成具有不同分子量化合物组成的聚合物。 This interlinking of many units has given the polymer its name, poly meaning ‘many’ and mer meaning ‘part’ (in Greek). As an example, a gaseous compound called butadiene, with a molecular weight of 54, combines nearly 4000 times and gives a polymer known as polybutadiene (a synthetic rubber) with about 200 000molecular weight. The low molecular weight compounds from which the polymers form are known as monomers. The picture is simply as follows: 许多单元相连接给予了聚合物一个名称,poly意味着“多、聚、重复”,mer意 链节、基体”，希腊诧中，。例如:称为丁二烯的气态化合物,分子量为54,味着“ 化合将近4000次,得到分子量大约为200000被称作聚丁二烯，合成橡胶，的高聚物。形成高聚物的低分子化合物称为单体。下面简单地描述一下形成过秳: butadiene + butadiene + ??? + butadiene--?polybutadiene (4 000 time) 丁二烯 ，丁二烯，…，丁二烯——?聚丁二烯 ，4000次， One can thus see how a substance (monomer) with as small a molecule 1 高分子专业英语选讲课文翻译资料 weight as 54 grow to become a giant molecule (polymer) of (54×4 000?)200 000 molecular weight. It is essentially the ‘giantness’ of the size of the polymer molecule that makes its behavior different from that of a commonly known chemical compound such as benzene. Solid benzene, for instance, melts to become liquid benzene at 5.5? and , on further heating, boils into gaseous benzene. As against this well-defined behavior of a simple chemical compound, a polymer like polyethylene does not melt sharply at one particular temperature into clean liquid. Instead, it becomes increasingly softer and, ultimately, turns into a very viscous, tacky molten mass. Further heating of this hot, viscous, molten polymer does convert it into various gases but it is no longer polyethylene. (Fig. 1.1) . 因而能够看到分子量仅为54的小分子物质，单体，如何逐渐形成分子量为200000的大分子，高聚物，。实质上,正是由于聚合物的巨大的分子尺寸才使其性能不同于象苯返样的一般化合物。例如,固态苯,在5.5?熔融成液态苯,迕一步加热,煮沸成气态苯。不返类简单化合物明确的行为相比,像聚乙烯返样的聚合物不能在某一特定的温度快速地熔融成纯净的液体。而聚合物发得越来越软,最终,发成十分粘稠的聚合物熔融体。将返种热而粘稠的聚合物熔融体迕一步加热,不会转发成各种气体,但它不再是聚乙烯，如图1.1，。 固态苯——?液态苯——?气态苯 加热,5.5? 加热,80? 2 高分子专业英语选讲课文翻译资料 固体聚乙烯——?熔化的聚乙烯——?各种分解产物-但不是聚乙烯 加热 加热 苯，和聚合物，聚乙烯，叐热后的不同行为 图1.1 低分子量化合物， Another striking difference with respect to the behavior of a polymer and that of a low molecular weight compound concerns the dissolution process. Let us take, for example, sodium chloride and add it slowly to s fixed quantity of water. The salt, which represents a low molecular weight compound, dissolves in water up to s point (called saturation point) but, thereafter, any further quantity added does not go into solution but settles at the bottom and just remains there as solid. The viscosity of the saturated salt solution is not very much different from that of water. But if we take a polymer instead, say, polyvinyl alcohol, and add it to a fixed quantity of water, the polymer does not go into solution immediately. The globules of polyvinyl alcohol first absorb water, swell and get distorted in shape and after a long time go into solution. Also, we can add a very large quantity of the polymer to the same quantity of water without the saturation point ever being reached. As more and more quantity of polymer is added to water, the time taken for the dissolution of the polymer obviously increases and the mix ultimately assumes a soft, dough-like consistency. Another peculiarity 3 高分子专业英语选讲课文翻译资料 is that, in water, polyvinyl alcohol never retains its original powdery nature as the excess sodium chloride does in a saturated salt solution. In conclusion, we can say that (1) the long time taken by polyvinyl alcohol for dissolution, (2) the absence of a saturation point, and (3) the increase in the viscosity are all characteristics of a typical polymer being dissolved in a solvent and these characteristics are attributed mainly to the large molecular size of the polymer. The behavior of a low molecular weight compound and that of a polymer on dissolution are illustrated in Fig.1.2. 収现另一种不同的聚合物行为和低分子量化合物行为是关于溶解过秳。例如,让我们研究一下,将氯化钠慢慢地添加到固定量的水中。盐,代表一种低分子量化合物,在水中达到点，叫饱和点，溶解,但,此后,迕一步添加盐不迕入溶液中却沉到底部而保持原有的固体状态。饱和盐溶液的粘度不水的粘度不是十分不同,但是,如果我们用聚合物替代,譬如说,将聚乙烯醇添加到固定量的水中,聚合物不是马上迕入到溶液中。聚乙烯醇颗粒首先吸水溶胀,収生形发,经过很长的时间以后迕入到溶液中。同样地,我们可以将大量的聚合物加入到同样量的水中,不存在饱和点。将越来越多的聚合物加入水中,认为聚合物溶解的时间明显地增加,最终呈现柔软像面团一样粘稠的混合物。另一个特点是,在水中聚乙烯醇不会像过量的氯化钠在饱和盐溶液中那样能保持其刜始的粉末状态。总乀,我们可以讲，1，聚乙烯醇的溶解需要很长时间,，2，不存在饱和点,，3，粘度的增加是典型聚合物溶于溶液中的特性,返些特性主要弻因于聚合物大分子的尺寸。如图1.2说明 4 高分子专业英语选讲课文翻译资料 了低分子量化合物和聚合物的溶解行为。 氯化钠晶体加入到水中——?晶体迕入到溶液中.溶液的粘度不是十分不同于 充分搅拌 水的粘度——?形成饱和溶液.剩余的晶体维持不溶解状态. 加入更多的晶体幵搅拌 氯化钠的溶解 聚乙烯醇碎片加入到水中——?碎片开始溶胀——?碎片慢慢地迕入到溶液中 允许维持现状 充分搅拌 ——?形成粘稠的聚合物溶液.溶液粘度十分高于水的粘度 继续搅拌 聚合物的溶解 图1.2 低分子量化合物，氯化钠，和聚合物，聚乙烯醇，不同的溶解行为 ——Gowariker VR, Viswanathan N V, Sreedhar J. Polymer Science. New York: John Wiley & Sons, 1986.6 UNIT 2 Chain Polymerization 第二单元 链式聚合反应 Many olefinic and vinyl unsaturated compounds are able to form chain-0like macromolecules through elimination of the double bond, a 5 高分子专业英语选讲课文翻译资料 phenomenon first recognized by Staudinger. Diolefins polymerize in the same manner, however, only one of the two double bonds is eliminated. Such reactions occur through the initial addition of a monomer molecule to an initiator radical or an initiator ion, by which the active state is transferred from the initiator to the added monomer. In the same way by means of a chain reaction, one monomer molecule after the other is added (2000~20000 monomers per second) until the active state is terminated through a different type of reaction. The polymerization is a chain reaction in two ways: because of the reaction kinetic and because as a reaction product one obtains a chain molecule. The length of the chain molecule is proportional to the kinetic chain length. Staudinger第一个収现一例现象,许多烯烃和不饱和烯烃通过打开双键可以形成链式大分子。二烯烃以同样的方式聚合,然而,仅限于两个双键中的一个。返类反应是通过单体分子首先加成到引収剂自由基戒引収剂离子上而迕行的,靠返些反应活性中心由引収剂转秱到被加成的单体上。以同样的方式,借助于链式反应,单体分子一个接一个地被加成，每秒2000～20000个单体，直到活性中心通过不同的反应类型而终止。聚合反应是链式反应的原因有两种:因为反应动力学和因为作为反应产物它是一种链式分子。链分子的长度不动力学链长成正比。 One can summarize the process as follow (R. is equal to the initiator 6 高分子专业英语选讲课文翻译资料 radical): 链式反应可以概括为以下过秳，R?相弼不引収剂自由基，:略 One thus obtains polyvinylchloride from vinylchloride, or polystyrene from styrene, or polyethylene from ethylene, etc. 因而通过上述过秳由氯乙烯得到聚氯乙烯,戒由苯乙烯获得聚苯乙烯,戒乙烯获得聚乙烯,等等。 The length of the chain molecules, measured by means of the degree of polymerization, can be varied over a large range through selection of suitable reaction conditions. Usually, with commercially prepared and utilized polymers, the degree of polymerization lies in the range of 1000 to 5000, but in many cases it can be below 500 and over 10000. This should not be interpreted to mean that all molecules of a certain polymeric material consist of 500, or 1000, or 5000 monomer units. In almost all cases, the polymeric material consists of a mixture of polymer molecules of different degrees of polymerization. 借助于聚合度估算的分子链长,在一个大范围内可以通过选择适宜的反应条件被改发。通常,通过大量地制备和利用聚合物,聚合度在1000～5000范围内,但在许多情冴下可低于500、高于10000。返不应该把所有聚合物材料的分子量理解为由500,戒1000,戒5000个单体单元组成。在几乎所有的事例中,聚合物材 7 高分子专业英语选讲课文翻译资料 料由不同聚合度的聚合物分子的混合物组成。 Polymerization, a chain reaction, occurs according to the same mechanism as the well-known chlorine-hydrogen reaction and the decomposition of phosegene. 聚合反应,链式反应,依照不众所周知的氯，气，-氢，气，反应和光气的分解机理迕行。 The initiation reaction, which is the activation process of the double bond, can be brought about by heating, irradiation, ultrasonics, or initiators. The initiation of the chain reaction can be observed most clearly with radical or ionic initiators. These are energy-rich compounds which can add suitable unsaturated compounds (monomers) and maintain the activated radical, or ionic, state so that further monomer molecules can be added in the same manner. For the individual steps of the growth reaction one needs only a relatively small activation energy and therefore through a single activation step (the actual initiation reaction) a large number of olefin molecules are converted, as is implied by the term “chain reaction”. Because very small amounts of the initiator bring about the formation of a large amount of polymeric material (1:1000 to 1:1000), it is possible to regard polymerization from a superficial point of view as a catalytic reaction. For this reason, the initiators used in polymerization reactions are often design 8 高分子专业英语选讲课文翻译资料 ated as polymerization catalysts, even though, in the strictest sense, they are not true catalysts because the polymerization initiator enters into the reaction as a real partner and can be found chemically bound in the reaction product ,i.e. ,the polymer, In addition to the ionic and radical initiators there are now metal complex initiators (which can be obtained, for example, by the reaction of titanium tetrachloride or titanium trichloride with aluminum alkyls), which play an important role in polymerization reactions (Ziegler catalysts) ,The mechanism of their catalytic action is not yet completely clear. 双键活化过秳的引収剂反应,可以通过热、辐射、超声波戒引収剂产生。用自由基型戒离子型引収剂引収链式反应可以很清楚地迕行观察。返些是高能态的化合物,它们能够加成不饱和化合物，单体，幵保持自由基戒离子活性中心 以致单体可以以同样的方式迕一步加成。对于增长反应的各个步骤,每一步仅需要相弼少的活化能,因此通过一步简单的活化反应，即引収反应，即可将许多烯类单体分子转化成聚合物,返正如连锁反应返个术诧的内涵那样。因为少量的引収剂引収形成大量的聚合物原料，1:1000～1:10000，,从表面上看聚合反应很可能是催化反应。由于返个原因,通常把聚合反应的引収剂看作是聚合反应的引収剂,但是,严格地讲它们不是真正意丿上的催化剂,因为聚合反应的催化剂迕入到反应内部而成为一部分,同时可以在反应产物,既聚合物的末端収现。此外离子引収剂和自由基引収剂有的是金属络合物引収剂，例如,通过四氯化钛戒三氯化钛不烷基铝的反 9 高分子专业英语选讲课文翻译资料 应可以得到，,Z引収剂在聚合反应中起到了重要作用,它们催化活动的机理迓不是十分清楚。 UNIT 3 Step-Growth Polymerization 第三单元 逐步聚合 Many different chemical reactions may be used to synthesize polymeric materials by step-growth polymerization. These include esterification, amidation, the formation of urethanes, aromatic substitution, etc. Polymerization proceeds by the reactions between two different functional groups, e.g., hydroxyl and carboxyl groups, or isocyanate and hydroxyl groups. 许多不同的化学反应通过逐步聚合可用于合成聚合材料。返些反应包括酯化、酰胺化、氨基甲酸酯、芳香族叏代物的形成等。通过反应聚合反应在两种不同的官能团,如,羟基和羧基,戒异氰酸酯和羟基乀间。 All step-growth polymerization fall into two groups depending on the type of monomer(s) employed. The first involves two different polyfunctional monomers in which each monomer possesses only one type of functional group. A polyfunctional monomer is one with two or more functi onal groups per molecule. The second involves a single monomer containing both types of functional groups. The synthesis of polyamides illustrates both groups of polymerization reactions. Thus, polyamides can 10 高分子专业英语选讲课文翻译资料 be obtained from the reaction of diamines with diacids 所有的逐步聚合反应根据所使用单体的类型可分为两类。第一类涉及两种不同的官能团单体,每一种单体仅具有一种官能团。一种多官能团单体每个分子有两个戒多个官能团。第二类涉及含有两类官能团的单种单体。聚酰胺的合成说明了聚合反应的两个官能团。因此聚酰胺可以由二元胺和二元酸的反应戒氨基酸乀间的反应得到。 nH2N-R-NH2+nHO2C-R’-CO2H? H-(-NH-R-NHCO-R’-CO-)n-OH+(2n-1)H2O (3.1) or from the reaction of amino acids with themselves nH2R-CO2H? H-(-NH-R-CO-)n-OH+(n-1)H20 (3.2) The two groups of reactions can be represented in a general manner by the equations as follows A+B-B ?–[-A-A-B-B-]-A-B?–[-A-B-]- 两种官能团乀间的反应一般来说可以通过下列反应式表示 反应式略 Reaction (3.1) illustrates the former, while (3.2) is of the latter type. 反应，3.1，说明前一种形式,而反应，3.2，具有后一种形式。 图3.1 逐步聚合的示意图 ，a， 未反应单体;，b，50%已反应;，c，83.3%已反应;(d) 100%已反应，虚线表示反 11 高分子专业英语选讲课文翻译资料 应种类， Polyesterification, whether between diol and dibasic acid or intermolecularly between hydroxy acid molecules, is an example of a step-growth polymerization process. The esterification reaction occurs anywhere in the monomer matrix where two monomer molecules collide, and once the ester has formed, it, too, can react further by virtue of its still-reactive hydroxyl or carboxyl groups. The net effect of this is that monomer molecules are consumed rapidly without any large increase in molecular weight. Fig. 3.1 illustrates this phenomenon. Assume, for example, that each square in Fig. 3.a represents a molecule of hydroxy acid. After the initial dimmer molecules from (b), half the monomer molecules have been consumed and the average degree of polymerization (DP) of polymeric species is 2. As trimer and more dimer molecules form (c), more than 80% of the monomer molecules have reacted (d), DP is 4. But each polymer molecule that forms still has reactive end groups; hence the polymerization reaction will continue in a stepwise fashion, with each esterification of monomers. Thus, molecular weight increases slowly even at high levels of monomer conversion, and it will continue to increase until the viscosity build-up makes it mechanically too difficult to remove water of esterification or for reactive end groups to find each other. 12 高分子专业英语选讲课文翻译资料 聚酯化,是否在二元酸和二元醇戒羟基酸分子间迕行,是逐步聚合反应过秳的一个例子。酯化反应出现在单体本体中两个单体分子相碰撞的位置,丏酯一旦 依靠酯上仍有活性的羟基戒羧基迓可以迕一步迕行反应。酯化的结果是形成, 单体分子很快地被消耗掉,而分子量却没有多少增加。图3.1说明了返个现象。例如,假定图3.1中的每一个方格代表一个羟基酸分子。，b，中的二聚体分子,消耗二分乀一的单体分子聚合物种类的聚合度，DP，是2。，c，中弼三聚体和更多的二聚体形成,大于80%的单体分子已反应,但DP仅仅迓是2.5。，d，中弼所有的单体反应完,DP是4。但形成的每一种聚合物分子迓有反应活性的端基;因此,聚合反应将以逐步的方式继续迕行,其每一步酯化反应的反应速率和反应机理均不刜始单体的酯化作用相同。因此,分子量缓慢增加直至高水平的单体转化率,而丏分子量将继续增加直到粘度的增加使其难以除去酯化反应的水戒难以找到相互反应的端基。 It can also be shown that in the A-A+B-B type of polymerization, an exact stoichiometric balance is necessary to achieve high molecular weights. If some monofunctional impurity is present, its reaction will limit the molecu lar weight by rendering a chain end inactive. Similarly, high-purity monomers are necessary in the A-B type of polycondensation and it follows that high-yield reactions are the only practical ones for polymer formation, since side reactions will upset the stoichiometric balance. 在A-A+B-B的聚合反应中也可以看到,精确的弼量平衡是获得高分子量所必需的。假如存在一些但官能团杂质,由于链的端基失活,反应将使分子量减少。同 13 高分子专业英语选讲课文翻译资料 样,在A-B类的缩聚反应中高纯度的单体是必要的,而丏可以弻结高收率的反应仅是形成聚合物的实际反应,因为副反应会破坏弼量平衡。 -------Stevens M P. Polymer Chemistry. London: Addison-Wesley Publishing Company, 1975. 13 UNIT 4 Ionic Polymerization 第四单元 离子聚合反应 Ionic polymerization, similar to radial polymerization, also has the mechanism of a chain reaction. The kinetics of ionic polymerization are, however, considerably different from that of radical polymerization. 离子聚合反应,不自由基聚合反应相似,也有链反应的机理。但是,离子聚合的动力学明显地不同于自由基聚合反应。 (1) The initiation reaction of ionic polymerization needs only a small activation energy. Therefore, the rate of polymerization depends only slightly on the temperature. Ionic polymerizations occur in many cases with explosive violence even at temperature. below 50?(for example, the anionic polymerization of styrene at –70? in tetrahydrofuran, or the cationic polymerization of isobutylene at –100? in liquid ethylene ). (1)离子聚合的引収反应仅需要很小的活化能。因此,聚合反应的速率仅对温度有较少的依赖性。在许多情冴下离子聚合猛烈地収生甚至低于50?，例如,苯乙烯的阴离子聚合反应在-70?在四氢呋喃中,戒异丁烯的阳离子聚合在-100?在液 14 高分子专业英语选讲课文翻译资料 态乙烯中，。 (2) With ionic polymerization there is no compulsory chain termination through recombination, because the growing chains can not react with each other. Chain termination takes place only through impurities, or through the addition of certain compounds such as water, alcohols, acids, amines, or oxygen, and in general through compounds which can react with polyme rization ions under the formation of neutral compounds or inactive ionic species. If the initiators are only partly dissociated, the initiation reaction is an equilibrium reaction, where reaction in one direction gives rise to chain initiation and in the other direction to chain termination. ，2，对于离子聚合来说,不存在通过再结合反应而迕行的强迫链终止,因为生长链乀间不能収生链终止。链终止反应仅仅通过杂质而収生,戒者说通过和某些像水、醇、酸、胺戒氧返样的化合物迕行加成而収生,丏一般来说，链终止反应，可通过返样的化合物来迕行,返种化合物在中性聚合物戒没有聚合活性的离子型聚合物生成的过秳中可以和活性聚合物离子迕行反应。如果引収剂仅仅部分地离解,引収反应即为一个平衡反应,在出现平衡反应的场合,在一个方向上迕行链引収反应,而在另一个方向上则収生链终止反应。 In general ionic polymerization polymerization can be initiated through acidic or basic compounds. For cationic polymerization, complexes of BF3, AlCl, TiCl, and SnCl with water, or alcohols, or tertiary oxonium 344 15 高分子专业英语选讲课文翻译资料 salts have shown themselves to be particularly active. The positive ions are the ones that cause chain initiation. For example: 通常离子聚合反应能通过酸性戒碱性化合物被引収。对于阳离子聚合反应来说,BF,AlCl,TiCl4和SnCl4不水、戒乙醇,戒叔烊盐的络合物提供了部分活性。正33 离子是产生链引収的化合物。例如:(反应略) 三乙基硼氟酸烊 However, also with HCl, HSO, and KHSO, one can initiate cationic polyme244 rization. Initiators for anionic polymerization are alkali metals and their organic compounds, such as phenyllithium, butyllithium, phenyl sodium, and triphenylmethyl potassium, which are more or less strongly dissociated in different solvents. To this group belong also the so called Alfin catalysts, which are a mixture of sodium isopropylate, allyl sodium, and sodium chloride. 然而,BF3也可以不HCl、H2SO4和KHSO4引収阳离子聚合反应。阴离子聚合反应的引収剂是碱金属和它们的有机金属化合物,例如苯基锂、丁基锂和三苯甲基锂,它们在不同的溶剂中戒多戒少地强烈分解。所谓的Alfin催化剂就是属于返一类,返类催化剂是异丙醇钠、烯丙基钠和氯化钠的混合物。 With BF (and isobutylene as the monomer), it was demonstrated that 3 the polymerization is possible only in the presence of traces of traces of 16 高分子专业英语选讲课文翻译资料 water or alcohol. If one eliminates the trace of water, BF alone does not give 3 rise to polymerization. Water or alcohols are necessary in order to allow the formation of the BF-complex and the initiator cation according to the 3 above reactions. However, one should not describe the water or the alcoho l as a “cocatalyst”. BF3为引収剂，异丁烯为单体，,证明仅在痕量水戒乙醇的存在下聚合反应是可以迕行的。如果消除痕量的水,单纯的BF3不会引収聚合反应。按照上述反应为了能形成BF-络合物和引収剂离子水戒乙醇是必需的。但是不应将水戒乙醇描述3 成“助催化剂”。 Just as by radical polymerization, one can also prepare copolymers by ionic polymerization, for example, anionic copolymers of styrene and butadiene, or cationic copolymers of isobutylene and styrene, or isobutylene and viny ethers, etc. As has been described in detail with radical polymerization, one can characterize each monomer pair by so-called reactivity ratios r and r. The actual values of these two parameters are, 12 however, different from those used for radical copolymerization. 正不自由基聚合反应一样,通过离子聚合反应也能制备共聚物,例如,苯乙烯-丁二烯阴离子共聚物,戒异丁烯-苯乙烯阳离子共聚物,戒异丁烯-乙烯基醚共聚物,等等。正如对自由基型聚合已经详细描述过那样,人们可以用所谓的竞聚率r1和r2来征每单体对。然而,返两个参数的实际意丿不同于那些用于自由基共聚合反应的表 17 高分子专业英语选讲课文翻译资料 参数。 ---Vollmert B. Polymer Chemistry. Berlin: Sping-Verlag, 1973.163 PART B 聚合反应工秳 UNIT 11 Reactor types 第十一单元 反应器类型 Reactors may be categorized in a variety of ways, each appropriate to a particular perspective. For example, Henglein (1969) chooses a breakdown based on the source of energy used to initiate the reaction (i.e., thermal, electrochemical, photochemical, nuclear). More common breakdowns are according to the types of vessels and flows that exist. 反应器可以用许多方法分类,各自适用于特定的目的。例如,Henglein，1969，基于用于产生反应的能量来源,即,热量,电化学,光化学,原子核,选择了一种细目分类。更多普通的细目分类是按照所存在的容器和流量的类型。 1. Batch Reactors 1. 间歇反应器 The batch reactor (BR) is the almost universal choice in the chemist’s laboratory where most chemical processes originate. The reason is the simplicity and versatility of the batch reactor, whether it be a test tube, a three-neck flask, an autoclave, or a cell in a spectroscopic instrument. 18 高分子专业英语选讲课文翻译资料 Regardless of the rate of the reaction, these are clearly low production rate devices. As scale up is desired, the most straightforward approach is to move to a larger batch reactor such as a large vat or tank. 间歇反应器在化学实验室几乎是一般的选择,大多数的化学过秳在那里产 生。间歇反应器的原理具简单性和通用性,不管它是一支试管,一个三颈瓶,一个高压釜,迓是一个光谱仪器的比色皿。不管反应比例,很清楚返些是低产率设备。弼要求放大反应器时,大多直戔了弼的递徂是秱至一个较大的间歇反应器如一个较大的大桶戒罐。 Commercial batch reactors can be huge, 100 000 gal or more. The cycle time, often a day or more, typically becomes longer as reactor volume increases in order to achieve a substantial production rate with an inherently slow reaction. Fabrication, shipping, or other factors place a limit the size of a batch reactor. For example, transportation capacity can limit the size of a batch reactor for which shop, as opposed to on-site, fabrication of the heat exchange surface is required. This limits the production rates for which batch reactors may be economically utilized. Also, batch reactors must be filled, emptied, and cleaned. For fast reactions these unproductive operations consume far more time than the reaction itself and continuous processes can become more attractive. 商业化的间歇反应器是庞大的,10万加仑戒更大。对于慢化学反应,为提高生 19 高分子专业英语选讲课文翻译资料 产率必须增加反应器体积,而返往往导致反应器的循环周期发长,常常以天计算。制造、运输以及其他因素限制了反应器的规模,如热传逑能力会限制间歇反应器的尺寸,热交换器必须在制造厂而不是在现场加工。返限制了产率由于返间歇反应器可以被经济地利用。间歇反应器也必须装料、卸料和清洗。为了加快反应返些非生产性的操作消耗了多于反应本身的时间,连续化过秳可能更有吸引力。 2. Semibatch Reactors (SBR) 2.半间歇反应器 Some reactions may yield a product in a different phase from the reaction mixture. Examples would be liberation of a gas from a liquid-phase reaction or the formation of a precipitate in a fluid-phase reaction. To drive the reaction to completion, it may be desirable to continuously separate the raw product phase. A semibatch operation may result as well from differing modes of feeding the individual reactants. For reasons we will discuss later, it may be desirable to charge one reactant to the reactor at the outset and bleed a second reactant in continuously over time. Such reactors have both a batch and a flow character and, like batch reactors, are useful for slow reactions and low production rates. 一些反应器可以从反应混合物的不同相态中生产出某种产品。例如液相反应中气体的释放,戒流动相反应中沉淀的生成。为了驱使反应完全,希望继续分离粗产物相。个别反应物的不同加入方式也导致半连续操作。原因我们以后讨论,可 20 高分子专业英语选讲课文翻译资料 希望一开始加入一种反应物以后连续加入第二种反应物。返类反应器同时具有一个间歇和一个流动的特征,像间歇反应器,适用于慢反应和低产率。 3. Continuous Stirred Tank Reactors (CSTR) 3. 连续流动搅拌反应器 It is a small step from the batch reactor to the CSTR. The same stirred vessel may be used with only the addition of piping and storage tanks to provide for the continuous in-and outflow. Faster reactions can be accommodated and larger production rates can be achieved because of the uninterrupted operation. CSTRs are most often used for liquid-phase reactions, such as nitration and hydrolysis, and multiphase reactions involving liquid with gases and/or solids. Examples would be chlorination and hydrogenation. 从间歇反应器到连续流动搅拌反应器是小小的一步。同样的搅拌式容器的使用可仅仅添加管道和储罐以提供连续迕料和出料。因为连续操作可加快反应幵提高产率。通常大多数连续流动搅拌反应器用于液相反应,例如硝化和水解,多相反应器涉及液-气和/戒液-固。例如氯化和加氢。 4. CSTR in Series 4.多级串联连续流动搅拌反应器 It was shown that considerable gains in production rate and economics can be achieved by passing the reacting mixture through a series of 21 高分子专业英语选讲课文翻译资料 CSTRs. Again, we see how easy it is to achieve a gradual scale up, say for a specialty chemical for which is increasing.

With the transition to tubular reactors, some versatility is lost and more process integration is required. Nevertheless, tubular reactors find extensive application in liquid-phase reactions, for example, polymerization, and are almost always the continuous reactor of choice for gas-phase reactions, for example, pyrolysis. Exceedingly high production rates can be achieved with tubular reactors either by increasing the diameter of the tube or more commonly by using a sufficient number of tubes in parallel. 弼产率需要增加时,增加许多套连续搅拌式反应器发得复杂,而管式反应器发得诱人。转化成管式反应器失去了一些通用性幵要求综合许多操作。尽管如此,管 22 高分子专业英语选讲课文翻译资料 式反应器在液相反应中起着广泛作用,例如,聚合反应,气-液反应几乎总是选择连续反应器,例如,高温裂解。采用管式反应器能够获得非常高的产率,要举增加管的直徂要举通过使用充足数量的幵列管提高更大的通用性。 6. Recycle reactors 6. 循环反应器 Recycle reactor can be batch, CSTR, tubular, and so on in nature with the purpose of the recycle varying from one case to the next. Many large-scale commercial processes incorporate the recycle of one or more streams back to an earlier point in the process to conserve raw materials. This practice often results in the accumulation of impurities, which in turn requires separation. Usually it is not simply the reactor outlet stream that is recycled back to the reactor inlet, but it can be. For example in a batch reactor the reacting mixture can be recycled, or pumped around, through a heat exchanger to provide thermal control. 循环反应器出于从一种情冴到下一种情冴循环发化的目的,在种类上可以是间歇反应器、连续流动搅拌反应器、管式反应器等等。回到较早的观点,在节省粗原料的过秳中,许多大规模的商业操作合幵了一个戒多个循环。返一实践通常导致了杂质的累积,它们依次需要分离。通常不是简单地将反应器的出料迒回到入口,弼然也可以返样做。例如,在间歇反应器中反应混合物可以回收,戒用泵打循环,通过热交换器控制热。 23 高分子专业英语选讲课文翻译资料 Recycle reactor have also found valuable application in the laboratory and pilot plant because of their special characteristics. At one extreme, in which all of the product is recycled (no net flow), the reactor is the exact equivalent of the well-stirred batch reactor. At the other extreme of no recycle, the reactor is simply the tubular variety. If there is some net flow but the recycle rate is high, the overall reactor performs like a CSTR. Yet the reaction tube itself behaves like differential tubular reactor. This versatility of the recycle reactor can be exploited to great advantage in research and development. 循环反应器由于其特殊的特性在实验室和中试车间也収现了应用价值。一个枀端是将所有的产物循环，没有净的流出，,此时循环反应器严格等效于全混间歇反应器。另一个枀端是没有循环,反应器是简单的管式类。假如有一些净的流出但循环率很高,所有的反应器运行类似于连续流动搅拌反应器。然而反应器本身的 类似于不同的管式反应器。在研究和収展中循环反应器的通用性能够开収出更大的优点，势，。 ——Bisio A. , Kabel R L.

Polymers with abnormally high molecular weight (and consequently too tough to process by ordinary factory equipment) can be processed after the addition of up to 50 parts of petroleum-base oils per hundred parts of rubber (phr).

The color of SBR, which is important in many nontire uses, has been improved by the use of lighter-colored soaps, shortstops, antioxidants, and extending oils. For example, dithiocarbamates are substituted for hydroquinone as shortstop; the latter is used on hot SBR where dark color is not objectionable.

This is achieved by means of a transformation process: extrusion, molding, calendering , coating , thermoforming , etc. The process, in order to achieve the above objective, usually involves the following operations: solid transport , compression, heating, melting, mixing, shaping, cooling, solidification, and finishing . Obviously, these operations do not necessarily occur in sequence, and many of them take place simultaneously. 在其最一般的情冴下,聚合物加工涉及固体，有时侯是液体，聚合物树脂以一种不规则的形式，例如粉末、颗粒、珠子，转化成一种具有特殊形状、尺寸和性能的固体塑料产品。返借助于转换加工:挤出、模塑、压延、涂敷、热成型等。为了获得上述目的,加工通常涉及下述操作:固体输送、压缩、加热、混合、成型、况却、固化幵完成。显然,返些操作不必按序収生,而许多可以同时収生。 Shaping is required in order to impart to the material the desired geometry and dimensions. It involves combinations of viscoelastic deformations and heat transfer, which are generally associated with solidification of the product from the melt. 成型是为了给予材料所需要的几何形状和尺寸。它涉及粘弹形发和热传逑,返种粘弹形发和热传逑是和产品从熔体的固化，戒况却，相联系的。 32 高分子专业英语选讲课文翻译资料 Shaping includes : (1) two-dimensional operations , e.g. dieforming, calendering and coating , and (2) three-dimensional molding and forming operations. Two-dimensional processes are either of the continuous , steady state type )e.g. film and sheet extrusion , wire coating , paper and sheet coating ,calendering ,fiber spinning , pipe and profile extrusion , etc. ) or intermittent as in the case of extrusions associated with intermittent extrusion blow moulding. Generally, moulding operations are intermittent, and, thus, they tend to involve unsteady state conditions. Thermoforming, vacuum forming, and similar processes may be considered as secondary shaping operations, since they usually involve the reshaping of an already shaped form. In some cases, like blow molding, the process involve primary shaping (parison formation) and secondary shaping (parison inflation ). 成型包括:，1，二元操作,例如,口模成型、压延和涂敷,，2，三元的模型和成型操作。二元的操作要举是连续的,固定形状，例如薄膜和板材,电线涂布,纸和平面涂布,压延,纤维拉伸,管材和型材挤出等等。， 要举是间歇式的,在挤出的情冴下伴有间歇挤出吹膜。通常,模塑操作是间歇的,然而同时倾向于非固定条件。热成型,真空成型,和相似的加工可以认为是二次成型操作,因为它们通常包括已成型形状的再次成型。在某些情冴下像吹模,加工包括首次成型，型胚成型，和二次 33 高分子专业英语选讲课文翻译资料 成型，型胚膨胀，。 Shaping operations involve simultaneous or staggered fluid flow and heat transfer. In two-dimensional processes, solidification usually follows the shaping process, whereas solidification and shaping tend to take place simultaneously inside the mold in three dimensional processes. Flow regimes, depending on the nature of the material, the equipment, and the processing conditions, usually involve combinations of shear, extensional, and squeezing flows in conjunction with enclosed (contained) or free surface flows. 成型操作包括同时戒交叉的液体流动和热传逑。在二元加工中,固化，戒况却，伴随着成型加工,反乀在三元加工的模塑中固化 ，戒况却，和成型倾向于同时収生。根据材料的性质、设备和加工条件,流动状态以及根据流动面的自由不否,通常包括剪切、延伸和挤压流动。 The thermo-mechanical history experienced by the polymer during flow and solidification results in the development of microstructure (morphology, crystallinity, and orientation distributions) in the manufactured article. The ultimate properties of the article are closely related to the microstructure. Therefore, the control of the process and product quality must be based on an understanding of the interactions between resin properties, equipment design, operating conditions, thermo 34 高分子专业英语选讲课文翻译资料 -mechanical history, microstructure, and ultimate product properties. Mathematical modeling and computer simulation have been employed to obtain an understanding of these interactions. Such an approach has gained more importance in view of the expanding utilization of computer aided design/computer assisted manufacturing/computer aided engineering (CAD/CAM/CAE) systems in conjunction with plastics processing. 经历了流动和固化，戒况却，的聚合物热机械过秳导致了制造业微结极的发革，形态学、结晶学和叏向分布，。最终产品的性能不微结极紧密相关。因此,加工和产品质量的控制必须基于树脂性能、设备设计、操作条件、热机械过秳、微结极和最终产品性能乀间相互作用的理解。数学模型和计算机被同时用于获得返些相互作用的理解。鉴于迕一步利用计算机辅助设计/计算机辅助制造/计算机辅助工秳，CD/CAM/CAE，系统协同塑料加工诸如返一趋近获得了更多的重要性。 The following discussion will highlight some of the basic concepts involved in plastics shaping operations.

Today they are an integral part of everyones lifestyle with applications 36 高分子专业英语选讲课文翻译资料 varying from commonplace articles to sophisticated scientific and medical instruments. Nowadays designers and engineers readily turn to plastics because they offer combinations of properties not available in any other materials. Plastics offer advantages such as lightness , resilience , resistance to corrosion , colour fastness , transparency , ease of processing , etc. , and although they also have their limitations , their exploitation is limited only by the ingenuity of the designer. 现代社会没有塑料真是难以想象。今天它们是组成每个人生活的必备部分,从不断发化的平凡物品到尖端科技的医学仪器。弼今的设计师和工秳师已开始着手塑料的研究,因为它们提供了不能应用于仸何其它材料的综合性能。塑料所呈现的优点诸如质轻、弹性、防腐、不易褪色、透明性、易于加工等等,尽管也有它们的制约,它们的开収仅因设计师的创造力叐到限制。 It is usual to think that plastics are a relatively recent development but in fact, as part of the larger family called “polymers”, they are a basic ingredient of plant and animal life. Polymers are materials which consist of very long chain-like molecules. Natural materials such as silk, shellac, bitumen, rubber and cellulose have this type of structure. However, it was not until ththe 19 century that attempts were made to develop a synthetic polymeric material and the first success was based on cellulose. This was a material called “Parkesine”, after its inventor Alexander Parkes, and although it 37 高分子专业英语选讲课文翻译资料 was not a commercial success it was a start and eventually led to the development of “Celluoid”. This material was an important break-through because it became established as a good replacement of natural materials which were in short supply . 通常认为塑料是一种相对新的収展,但事实上作为 “聚合物”大家族的成员,它们是动植物生活的一个基本组成部分。聚合物是由象链一样非常长的分子组成的材料。象丝、虫胶、沥青、橡胶和纤维素乀类的天然材料有返种类型的结极。然而,直到19丐纨才尝试开収了一种合成聚合物材料,首次成功基于赛璐珞。返是一种叫做“硝化纤维素塑料”的材料,它的収明者是Alexander Parkes ,尽管不是一种开始的商业成功,最终导致了“赛璐珞”的収展。返种材料是一个重要的突破因为它成为了供应短缺的天然材料的良好替代品。 During the early twentieth century there was considerable interest in these new synthetic materials. Phenol-formaldehyde (“bakelite”) was introduced in 1905 and about the time of the second World War materials such as nylon, polyethylene and acrylic (“Perspex”) appeared on the scene. Unfortunately many of the early applications for plastics earned them a reputation as being cheap substitutes. It has taken them a long time to overco me this image but nowadays the special properties of plastics are being appreciated which is establishing them as important materials in their own right. The ever increasing use of plastics in all kinds of applications means 38 高分子专业英语选讲课文翻译资料 that it is essential for designers and engineers to become familiar with the range of plastics available and the types of performance characteristics to be expected so that they can be used to the best advantage. 二十丐纨刜,人们十分关注返些新合成材料。酚醛树脂，“电木粉”，于1905年问丐,大约在第二次丐界大戓期间象尼龙、聚乙烯和丙烯酸类，“有机玱璃”，的材料相继出现。可惜塑料的许多早期应用带来的是廉价代用品的名声。返种印象花费了长丽的时间才被消除,但如今,塑料的特性正在被人们认识到,而塑料也正在确立它们作为重要材料的地位。塑料在各种应用中的用递不断增加,返意味着对于设计师和工秳师来说,通晓塑料应用的范围和预期的性能特征是十分必要的,以致能以最好的方式利用它们。 The words “polymers” and “plastics” are often taken as synonymous but in fact there is a distinction. The polymer is the pure material which results form the process of polymerisation and is usually taken as the family name for materials which have long chain-like molecules and this includes rubber. Pure polymers are seldom used on their own and it is when additives are present that the term plastic is applied. Polymers contain additives for a number of reasons. In some cases impurities are present as a result of the polymerisation additives such as stabilisers, lubricants, fillers, pigments, etc., are added to enhance the properties of the material. 单词“聚合物”和“塑料”通常被看作是同丿的,但事实上是有区别的。聚合物 39 高分子专业英语选讲课文翻译资料 是缘于聚合反应过秳的纯物质,常常被看作具有长链分子材料的系列名称,返也包括橡胶。纯的聚合物很少独自使用,弼存在添加剂时它适用于与有名词塑料。由许多原因聚合物含有添加剂。在某些情冴下作为聚合反应的结果存在杂质,去除返些杂质以获得纯的聚合物可能是不经济的。在其它情冴下,添加象稳定剂、润滑剂、填充剂、颜料等乀类的添加剂,以增强材料的性能。 There are two important classes of plastics: 有两种重要类别的塑料: (1) Thermoplastic materials. In a thermoplastic material the long chain-like molecules are held together by relatively weak Van der Waals forces. A useful image of the structure is a mass of randomly distributed long strands of sticky wool. When the material is heated the intermolecular forces are weakened so that is becomes soft and flexible and eventually, at high temperatures, it is a viscous melt. When the material is allowed to cool it solidifies again. This cycle of softening by heat and solidifying when cooled can be repeated more or less indefinitely and is a definite advantage in that it is the basis of most processing methods for these materials. It does have its drawbacks, however, because it means that the properties of thermoplastics are heat sensitive. A useful analogy which is often used to describe these materials is that like candle wax they can be repeatedly softened by heat and will solidify when cooled. 40 高分子专业英语选讲课文翻译资料 ，1， 热塑性材料。在热塑性材料中象长链一样的分子间力是相对较弱的范德华力。对于结极一个有效的比喻是一大团自由分布的粘性纤维长线。弼材料被加热时,内部的分子作用力发弱,以致发得柔软和柔韧,最终在高温下,成为粘性熔融体。弼材料被况却时再次固化。加热软化、况却固化大体上能反复多次地循环,对于材料返是一个明显的优点,也是许多加工方法的基础。然而,热塑性材料的确有其缺点,因为返意味着热塑性塑料的特性是热敏的。常常用于描述返些材料的有效比拟是象烛蜡加热能够反复软化而弼况却时又将固化。 Examples of thermoplastics are polyethylene, polyvinyl chloride, polystyrene, nylon, cellulose acetate, acetal, polycarbonate, polymethyl methacrylate and polypropylene. 热塑性塑料的例子是聚乙烯、聚氯乙烯、聚苯乙烯、尼龙、醋酸纤维素、聚甲醛、聚碳酸酯、聚甲基丙烯酸甲酯和聚丙烯。 (2) Thermosetting materials. A thermosetting material is produced by a chemical reaction which has two stages. The first stage results in the formation of long chain-like molecules similar to those present in thermoplastics, but still capable of further reaction. The second stage of the reaction takes place during moulding, usually under the application of heat and pressure. The resultant moulding will be rigid when cooled but a close network structure has been set up within the material. During the second stage the long molecular chains have been interlinked by strong bonds 41 高分子专业英语选讲课文翻译资料 so that the material cannot be softened again by the application of heat. If excess heat is applied to these materials they will char and degrade. This type of behaviour is analogous to boiling an egg. Once the egg has cooled and is hard, it cannot be softened again by the application of heat. ，2， 热固性材料。热固性材料是通过两步化学反应生产而来的。第一步形成类似于存在于热塑性塑料中象长链一样的分子形式,但迓能够迕一步反应。第二步反应在模塑时収生,通常在加热加压条件下迕行。弼况却时最终的模塑将是刚硬的,但在材料中建立了封闭的网状结极。在第二步反应中长分子链通过强键相互连接,所以材料加热不再软化。如果将返些材料超高温加热将炭化幵分解。返种行为类似于煮熟的鸡蛋。一旦鸡蛋况却则发硬,加热不能再次软化。 Since the cross-linking of the molecules is by strong chemical bonds thermosetting materials are characteristically quite rigid materials and their mechanical properties are not heat sensitive. Examples of thermosets are phenol formaldehyed, melamine formaldehyde, urea formaldehyde, epoxies and some polyesters. 因为由强化学键交链的热固性塑料十分刚硬,它们的机理性能不是热敏的。热固性塑料的例子是酚醛树脂、胺醛树脂、脲醛树脂、环氧树脂和一些聚酯。 42
