Ageing of PCCD aliphatic polyesters: effect of stereochemistry and ionic chain terminals.

Résumé

A series of poly(1,4-cyclohexylenedimethylene 1,4-cyclohexanedicarboxylate) (PCCD) samples, characterized by different cis/trans ratio of the 1,4-cyclohexanedicarbonyl units, and a PCCD ionomer, containing 3 mol% of ionic terminal groups, were exposed to accelerated UV in order to study the molecular modifications occurring during the ageing period and correlate them to the initial macromolecular structure. A relationship between stereochemistry and sensitivity towards oxidative degradation was found: with the increment of the trans content in 1,4-cyclohexylene units of the samples, the materials proved more resistant to oxidation processes. Moreover, some degradation mechanisms were determined: chain combination process prevails at short exposure times while chain scissions are predominant at long ageing times. It is worth noting that the presence of terminal ionic groups causes a sizable modification of the degradation processes: only chain recombinations take place. This study aims at improving knowledge necessary to design novel (co)polyesters characterized by well adapted physical, thermal and mechanical properties, and also, with well adapted durability to their application.
