Disentangling α from β mechanical relaxations in the rubber-to-glass transition of high-sugar-chitosan mixtures

Résumé

The occurrence of molecular motions in addition to those of the glass-transition region (α mechanism) were investigated in chitosan and a branched derivative substituted with alkyl chains having eight carbon atoms. Once hydrophobic interactions of the alkyl groups in aqueous solution were demonstrated, polymers were mixed with glucose syrup at high levels of solids. The real (G′) and imaginary (G″) components of the complex dynamic modulus in high-solid mixtures were measured between 0.1 and 100 rad s-1 in the temperature range from - 55 to 50°C. The method of reduced variables gave superposed curves of G′ and G″, which unveiled an anomaly in the dispersion of the alkylated derivative both in terms of higher modulus values and dominant elastic component of the polymeric network, as compared with the glass-transition region of chitosan. It was proposed that the new mechanical feature was due to β mechanism, and master curves of viscoelastic functions and relaxation processes were constructed to rationalize it. © 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd.
