Аннотация:The crazing of various polymers (PET, isotactic PP, and HDPE) in the presence of branched
poly(ethoxysiloxane) and its low-molecular-mass analog—tetraethoxysilane—has been studied. The hyper-branched poly(ethoxysiloxane) is shown to be an effective adsorptionally active medium for crazing of various solid polymers and development of nanoporous structures with a volume porosity of up to 60%. Depending on the nature of polymers, two mechanisms of crazing (either classical or delocalized crazing) can take place. The reactions of hydrolysis (basic and acidic) within the pores leading to formation of solid silica have been performed. Electron microscopic observations provide evidence that the transformation of a viscous adsorptionally
active liquid into a solid compound directly within the volume of a polymer matrix leads to the stabilization of a highly dispersed polymer structure that arises in the course of crazing.
