% Crystallinity

Polymers rarely 100% crystalline

• Too difficult to get all those chains
aligned

• %crystallinity: % of material that is

crystalline
-- TS and E often increase with %
crstallinity
-- Annealing causes crystalline
regions to grow, % crystallinity
increases
Bentuk Kristal Polimer
• Single Crystals – only if slow careful growth
Polymer Crystal Forms
Spherulites – fast growth – forms
lamellar (layered) structures

Daerah semikristalin bulat di dalam

polimer linier yang tidak bercabang
Spherulites – crossed polarizers
Thermoplastic Polymers
• Materials become soft when heated and solid when
cooled to room temperature. This softening and setting
may be repeated many times.

• Seperti pada lilin yang meleleh dan memadat

• Contoh polietilen, polistiren, pvc

Thermosetting Polymers
• Materials may not be reheated and softened
again. Once the structural framework is set, these
plastics cannot be reformed

• Mirip dengan pengecoran semen pada beton

• Contoh karet, epoxy, resin poliester

Thermoplastics VS Thermosets
Thermal Analysis
• Thermal analysis comprises a group techniques that
measure the physical or chemical properties of a sample
as a function of temperature or time while it is heated,
cooled or held at a constant temperature.
 Metode thermal analysis

penetration,
bending)
 Tugas
• Jelaskan perbedaan polimer termoplastik dan polimer
termoset

• Bandingkan keadaaan kristalin pada logam dan polimer

dan bandingkan keadaan non-kristal (amorf) pada
polimer dan keramik
