Poly(2,5-alkylene furanoate)s are bio-based, smart, and innovative polymers that are considered the most promising materials to replace oil-based plastics. These polymers can be synthesized using ecofriendly approaches, starting from renewable sources, and result into final products with properties comparable and even better than those presented by their terephthalic counterparts. In this work, we present the molecular dynamics of four 100% bio-based poly(alkylene 2,5-furanoate)s, using broadband dielectric spectroscopy measurements that covered a wide temperature and frequency range. We unveiled complex local relaxations, characterized by the simultaneous presence of two components, which were dependent on thermal treatment. The segmental relaxation showed relaxation times and strengths depending on the glycolic subunit length, which were furthermore confirmed by high-frequency experiments in the molten region of the polymers. Our results allowed determining structure–property relations that are able to provide further understanding about the excellent barrier properties of poly(alkylene 2,5-furanoate)s. In addition, we provide results of high industrial interest during polymer processing for possible industrial applications of poly(alkylene furanoate)s.

AbstractNon-linear dielectric spectroscopy (NLDS) is employed as an effective tool to study relaxation processes and phase transitions of a poly(vinylidenefluoride-trifluoroethylene-chlorofluoroethylene) (P(VDF-TrFE-CFE)) relaxor-ferroelectric (R-F) terpolymer in detail. Measurements of the non-linear dielectric permittivity $${\varepsilon _{2}^{'}}$$ ε 2 ′ reveal peaks at 30 and 80$$\,^\circ$$ ∘ C that cannot be identified in conventional dielectric spectroscopy. By combining the results from NLDS experiments with those from other techniques such as thermally stimulated depolarization and dielectric-hysteresis studies, it is possible to explain the processes behind the additional peaks. The former peak, which is associated with the mid-temperature transition, is found in all other vinylidene fluoride-based polymers and may help to understand the non-zero $$\varepsilon _\mathrm {2}^{'}$$ ε 2 ′ values that are detected on the paraelectric phase of the terpolymer. The latter peak can also be observed during cooling of P(VDF-TrFE) copolymer samples at 100$$\,^\circ$$ ∘ C and is due to conduction and space-charge polarization as a result of the accumulation of real charges at the electrode–sample interface.

Bulk Relaxation

ABSTRACTBroadband dielectric spectroscopy (10−2 Hz – 109 Hz) is employed to study the molecular dynamics of the glassforming liquid salol (phenyl salicylate) being contained in (dielectric inactive) porous glasses with pore sizes of about 2.5 nm, 5.0 nm and 7.5 nm. Besides the bulk relaxation (I) of salol, two further dielectric loss processes are observed due to the geometrical constraint of the inner surfaces of the pores: the “interfacial relaxation” (II) and a Maxwell-Wagner polarization (III). The “interfacial relaxation” is assigned to the restricted dynamics of the molecules close to the inner surface of the pores. It shows a strong pore-size dependence for pores < 5 nm both in relaxation rate and dielectric strength.
