1、高分子材料工程專業(yè)英語翻譯UNIT 1 What are Polymer 第一單元什么是高聚物What are polymers 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 a

2、s high as several hundred thousand even more than thousand thousands. These big molecules ormacro-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

3、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. 什么是高聚物首先他們是合成物和大分子而且不同于低分子化合物譬如說普通的

4、鹽。與低分子化合物不同的是普通鹽的分子量僅僅是58.5而高聚物的分子量高于105甚至大于106。這些大分子或“高分子”由許多小分子組成。小分子相互結(jié)合形成大分子大分子能夠是一種或多種化合物。舉例說明想象一組大小相同并由相同的材料制成的環(huán)。當(dāng)這些環(huán)相互連接起來可以把形成的鏈看成是具有同種分子量化合物組成的高聚物。另一方面獨(dú)特的環(huán)可以大小不同、材料不同相連接后形成具有不同分子量化合物組成的聚合物。This interlinking of many units has given the polymer its name poly meaning many and mer meaning part

5、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.

6、 The picture is simply as follows: 許多單元相連接給予了聚合物一個(gè)名稱poly意味著“多、聚、重復(fù)”mer意味著“鏈節(jié)、基體”希臘語中。例如稱為丁二烯的氣態(tài)化合物分子量為54化合將近4000次得到分子量大約為200000被稱作聚丁二烯合成橡膠的高聚物。形成高聚物的低分子化合物稱為單體。下面簡單地描述一下形成過程butadiene butadiene 676767butadiene-polybutadiene 4 000 time 丁二烯丁二烯67丁二烯聚丁二烯4000次One can thus see how a substance monomer with

7、as small a molecule weight as 54 grow to become a giant molecule polymer of 54×4 000200 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

8、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 sof

9、ter and ultimately turns into a very viscous tacky molten mass. Further heating of this hot viscousmolten polymer does convert it into various gases but it is no longer polyethylene. Fig. 1.1 . 因而能夠看到分子量僅為54的小分子物質(zhì)單體如何逐漸形成分子量為200000的大分子高聚物。實(shí)質(zhì)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這樣的一般化合物。例如固態(tài)苯在5.5熔融成液態(tài)苯進(jìn)一步加熱煮沸成氣

10、態(tài)苯。與這類簡單化合物明確的行為相比像聚乙烯這樣的聚合物不能在某一特定的溫度快速地熔融成純凈的液體。而聚合物變得越來越軟最終變成十分粘稠的聚合物熔融體。將這種熱而粘稠的聚合物熔融體進(jìn)一步加熱不會(huì)轉(zhuǎn)變成各種氣體但它不再是聚乙烯如圖1.1。固態(tài)苯液態(tài)苯氣態(tài)苯加熱5.5加熱80固體聚乙烯熔化的聚乙烯各種分解產(chǎn)物-但不是聚乙烯加熱加熱圖1.1 低分子量化合物苯和聚合物聚乙烯受熱后的不同行為Another striking difference with respect to the behavior of a polymer and that of a low molecular weight com

11、pound 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 int

12、o 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 immed

13、iately. The globules of polyvinylalcohol 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 polyme

14、r 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 is that in water polyvinyl alcohol never retains its original powdery nature as the excess sodium chloride does in a saturated s

15、alt 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

16、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. 發(fā)現(xiàn)另一種不同的聚合物行為和低分子量化合物行為是關(guān)于溶解過程。例如讓我們研究一下將氯化鈉慢慢地添加到固定量的水中。鹽代表一種低分子量化合物在水中達(dá)到點(diǎn)叫飽和點(diǎn)溶解但此后進(jìn)一步添加鹽不進(jìn)入溶液中卻沉到底部而保持原有的固體狀態(tài)。飽和鹽溶液的粘度與水的粘度不是十分不同但是如果我們用聚合物替代譬如說

17、將聚乙烯醇添加到固定量的水中聚合物不是馬上進(jìn)入到溶液中。聚乙烯醇顆粒首先吸水溶脹發(fā)生形變經(jīng)過很長的時(shí)間以后進(jìn)入到溶液中。同樣地我們可以將大量的聚合物加入到同樣量的水中不存在飽和點(diǎn)。將越來越多的聚合物加入水中認(rèn)為聚合物溶解的時(shí)間明顯地增加最終呈現(xiàn)柔軟像面團(tuán)一樣粘稠的混合物。另一個(gè)特點(diǎn)是在水中聚乙烯醇不會(huì)像過量的氯化鈉在飽和鹽溶液中那樣能保持其初始的粉末狀態(tài)?？傊覀兛梢灾v1聚乙烯醇的溶解需要很長時(shí)間2不存在飽和點(diǎn)3粘度的增加是典型聚合物溶于溶液中的特性這些特性主要?dú)w因于聚合物大分子的尺寸。如圖1.2說明了低分子量化合物和聚合物的溶解行為。氯化鈉的溶解氯化鈉晶體加入到水中晶體進(jìn)入到溶液中.溶液的粘

18、度不是十分不同于水的粘度形成飽和溶液.剩余的晶體維持不溶解狀態(tài). 聚合物的溶解聚乙烯醇碎片加入到水中碎片開始溶脹碎片慢慢地進(jìn)入到溶液中形成粘稠的聚合物溶液.溶液粘度十分高于水的粘度圖1.2 低分子量化合物氯化鈉和聚合物聚乙烯醇不同的溶解行為第一單元閱讀材料很多情況下聚合物鏈都是線性的在求聚合度與伸展鏈長世我們設(shè)想鏈僅有兩個(gè)端點(diǎn)。盡管線性聚合物很重要但它們不是唯一類型可能的分子。支鏈和交聯(lián)的分子也是十分重要的。當(dāng)我們說到支鏈聚合物時(shí)我們是說它存在多余的聚合鏈。這些鏈?zhǔn)菑木€性分子的主鏈上發(fā)散出來的。在重復(fù)單元上類似甲基與苯基的成分不被考慮成支鏈。一般支鏈被引入一個(gè)分子是通過有目的的加入一些能夠成為

19、支鏈的單體。讓我們想象聚酯的形成。雙官能團(tuán)酸與醇的存在使聚合物鏈增長。這些雙官能團(tuán)分子在它們的末端形成酯基合并成鏈。另一方面三官能團(tuán)的酸與醇生成線性分子時(shí)通過反應(yīng)它們的兩個(gè)官能團(tuán)。如果第三個(gè)也參與反應(yīng)并且所得到的鏈繼續(xù)增長一支鏈就被引入最先的鏈中。有時(shí)支鏈的生成是由于一個(gè)原子脫離原先線性分子使其有活性而伴隨鏈的增長這種偶然發(fā)現(xiàn)支鏈的分子一般還是叫線性分子的盡管重要支鏈的存在對聚合物性質(zhì)有影響大多有顯著地結(jié)晶趨向。引入聚合物支鏈的數(shù)量是另外一個(gè)必須被詳細(xì)說明的不同點(diǎn)。以便充分描述分子的特征。當(dāng)僅僅只有微量的分支存在結(jié)合點(diǎn)的濃度時(shí)非常低的以至于它們僅和鏈末端的數(shù)量有關(guān)。例如兩個(gè)單獨(dú)的線性分子一共含

20、有四個(gè)末端。如果其中一個(gè)分子的末端與另外一個(gè)分子的中間端形成一個(gè)“T”所得的分子有三個(gè)末端。很容易就可以總結(jié)出這種結(jié)果。如果一個(gè)分子有x個(gè)支鏈則它有x2個(gè)末端.如果分支相對很少的時(shí)候。支鏈分子有時(shí)被稱為梳型或星形的。梳型的是指支鏈?zhǔn)茄刂粋€(gè)主鏈散發(fā)出來的星形的是指所有分支是從一個(gè)結(jié)點(diǎn)散發(fā)出來的。如果結(jié)點(diǎn)的濃度相當(dāng)高甚至支鏈上還有支鏈。最終到達(dá)一個(gè)點(diǎn)就是支鏈的數(shù)量是如此的多以至于聚合物分子變成為一個(gè)巨大的三維網(wǎng)狀結(jié)構(gòu)。當(dāng)?shù)竭_(dá)這種狀態(tài)分子就為所謂的交聯(lián)分子。這種情形整個(gè)宏觀的物體可認(rèn)為僅需一種分子組成。組合成這個(gè)單體的力量是共價(jià)鍵而不是分子間作用力?？傊宦?lián)體的力學(xué)性能與其他沒有交聯(lián)結(jié)構(gòu)的有很大的

21、不同。正如聚合物鏈不必是線性的一樣所有的重復(fù)單元也不一定要相同的。我們已經(jīng)提到像蛋白質(zhì)那樣的分子他們都有很多不同的重復(fù)單元。合成的聚合物中那些僅僅只有一種重復(fù)單元的叫做均聚物那些含有多于一種重復(fù)單元的叫共聚物。注意這些定義是基于重復(fù)單元而不是單體。一個(gè)普通的聚酯并不是共聚物盡管他有酸與醇這兩種不同的單體。與此相比當(dāng)不同的單體通過上述方法組合起來產(chǎn)生一條每個(gè)單體在聚合物中都保持各自的特性這樣共聚物就產(chǎn)生了。未經(jīng)修整的共聚物一般是那些只有兩個(gè)不同的重復(fù)單元。當(dāng)發(fā)現(xiàn)三種重復(fù)單元的時(shí)候這種體系叫做三元共聚物當(dāng)發(fā)現(xiàn)三種以上則叫做多元共聚物。當(dāng)我們承認(rèn)有一種重復(fù)單元的可能性時(shí)我們需要其他的不同點(diǎn)來描述聚合

22、物。首先我們要知道要多少類重復(fù)單元存在并且它們是什么。這就是相當(dāng)于知道它們?nèi)芙夂蟮拇嬖诔煞?。盡管有相似的末端在那因?yàn)榫酆衔锏闹貜?fù)單元是結(jié)合在一起的并不是僅僅的混合。要定量的描述一個(gè)共聚物不同類的重復(fù)單元的相對數(shù)量必須詳細(xì)說明。因此共聚物的經(jīng)驗(yàn)公式可以寫成這里是指分別的重復(fù)單元是指其重要單元的相對數(shù)量。從所知的聚合物分子量可以估計(jì)一個(gè)共聚物每一個(gè)單元的聚合度叫做當(dāng)前后者的不明智性是顯而易見的。UNIT 2 Chain Polymerization 第二單元鏈?zhǔn)骄酆戏磻?yīng)Many olefinic and vinyl unsaturated compounds are able to form ch

23、ain-0like macromolecules through elimination of the double bond a 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

24、 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 200020000 monomers per second until the active state is terminated through a different type of reaction. T

25、he polymerization is a chain reaction in two ways: because ofthe 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第一個(gè)發(fā)現(xiàn)一例現(xiàn)象許多烯烴和不飽和烯烴通過打開雙鍵可以形成鏈?zhǔn)酱蠓肿?。二烯烴以同樣的方式聚合然而僅限于兩個(gè)雙鍵中的一個(gè)。這類反應(yīng)是通

27、chloride from vinylchloride or polystyrene from styrene or polyethylene from ethylene etc. 因而通過上述過程由氯乙烯得到聚氯乙烯或由苯乙烯獲得聚苯乙烯或乙烯獲得聚乙烯等等。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. U

28、sually with commercially prepared and utilized polymers the degree of polymerization lies in the range of 1000to 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

29、 units. Inalmost 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鏈長在一個(gè)大范圍內(nèi)可以通過選擇適宜的反應(yīng)條件被改變。通常通過大量地制備和利用聚合物聚合度在10005000范圍內(nèi)但在許多情況下可低于500、高于10000。這不應(yīng)該把所有聚合物材料的分子量理解為由500或1000或5000個(gè)單體單元組成。在幾乎所有的事例中聚合物材料由不同聚合度的聚合物分子的混合物組成。Poly

31、 ultrasonics or initiators. The initiation of the chain reaction can be observed most clearly with radical or ionic initiators. These areenergy-rich compounds which can add suitable unsaturated compounds monomers and maintain the activated radical or ionic state so that further monomer molecules can

32、 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”.

33、 Because very small amounts of the initiator bring about the formation of a large amount of polymeric material 1:1000to 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 d
