Abstract

The morphology of ionomers, e.g., poly(ethylene-methacrylic acid) (EMA) lead salts (EMA/Pb) and lead sulfide compounds (EMA/PbS), has been studied by using the techniques of small angle x-ray scattering (SAXS), anomalous SAXS (ASAXS), wide angle x-ray scattering (WAXS), and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). EMA/Pb containing less than 5 wt% of lead exhibited two characteristic SAXS peaks which corresponded to the lamellar structure of the partially crystalline polymer matrix and the ionic structure of the lead aggregates that were present in the amorphous regions. The lead aggregates were not distributed uniformly and increased in packing density with increasing lead content. Both DSC and WAXS showed that the crystalline phase was present for all EMA/Pb samples and that the crystallinity decreased slightly with increasing lead content. ASAXS near the L3 absorption edge of lead permitted the extraction of the scattered intensity of lead ions from the SAXS patterns of the superimposed crystalline and ionic structures. Correlation function analysis revealed that the ionic aggregates of the EMA/Pb containing 5 wt% of lead could be described by a liquid-like model with a short range order of 2-4 nm. EMA/PbS samples were made by a reaction of EMA/Pb ionomers with hydrogen sulfide. Instead of an ionic peak as shown by EMA/Pb samples, the SAXS patterns of EMA/PbS showed a broad diffraction peak located at the same q value as the lamellar peak of the EMA in acid form. The (lamellar) peak could be attributed to the interference between the PbS crystallites in the neighboring lamellae.
