✦ Synopsis


By copolymerization of trioxane with 1,3-dioxacycloheptane (DOCH) or 1,3-dioxacyclooctane (DOCO) acetal copolymers were synthesized with comonomer units which, in contrast to customary 1,3dioxolane/trioxane copolymers, consist of sequences with four or five methylene groups, respectively. In comparison with 1,3-dioxolane/trioxane copolymers these copolymers show a significantly higher thermal stability due to the larger sequences of thermically stable C1C-bonds.

Torsion pendulum measurements show that the difference of the comonomer nature influences the storage modulus, G9, which is a measure for the rigidity of the material, and the loss tangent tan d. Obviously, G9 is dependent on the crystallinity of the sample, which again is influenced by the kind and concentration of the incorporated comonomer. Also the peak locations of the aand c-relaxation indicate a direct connection to the comonomer nature and content in the different copolymers. The a-maxima are shifted to lower temperatures with increasing number of methylene groups as well as with growing comonomer content. However, the c-maxima appear at higher temperatures with increasing comonomer content, but at lower temperatures with growing length of the comonomer unit.

Additionally, branched acetal copolymers were synthesized by using comonomers in which the hydrogen atom at the 4-position of 1,3-dioxolane has been substituted by alkyl groups of different length (methyl to tetradecyl). In these copolymers the nature of comonomer neither improves the thermal stability of the copolymers nor influences the aand c-relaxation. ZUSAMMENFASSUNG: Durch Copolymerisation von 1,3-Dioxacycloheptan (DOCH) bzw. 1,3-Dioxacyclooctan (DOCO) mit Trioxan wurden Acetalcopolymere hergestellt, deren Comonomereinheiten im Gegensatz zu den herko ¨mmlichen 1,3-Dioxolan/Trioxan-Copolymeren vier bzw. fu ¨nf aufeinanderfolgende Methylengruppen enthalten. Im Vergleich zu den 1,3-Dioxolan/Trioxan-Copolymeren besitzen diese Copolymeren, bedingt durch die gro ¨ßere Anzahl von thermisch stabileren C1C-Sequenzen, eine deutlich ho ¨here Thermostabilita ¨t. Torsionsschwingungsmessungen zeigen, daß die unterschiedliche Comonomerstruktur den Speichermodul G9, der ein Maß fu ¨r die Steifigkeit des Materials ist, sowie den mechanischen Verlustfaktor tan d beeinflußt. G9 ha ¨ngt dabei ganz offensichtlich von der Kristallinita ¨t der Proben ab, welche wiederum stark von der Art und Konzentration des eingebauten Comonomeren beeinflußt wird. Auch die Lage der aund c-Relaxationsmaxima steht in direktem Zusammenhang mit der Comonomerstruktur und dem Comonomergehalt. Die a-Maxima verschieben sich sowohl mit wachsender Anzahl von Methylengruppen als auch mit steigendem Comonomergehalt zu tieferen Temperaturen. Die c-Maxima hingegen erscheinen mit steigendem Comonomergehalt bei ho ¨heren Temperaturen, mit zunehmender La ¨nge der Comonomereinheit aber treten sie bei tieferen Temperaturen auf

## Abstract Nanocomposites based on atactic polypropylene (aPP) and multiwall carbon nanotubes were prepared by melt blending at 80°C with a Barabender mixer. The morphology, thermal stability, and dynamic mechanical properties of the obtained composites were studied subsequently. SEM observations
