    Notes: The gapwise density distributions of the injection molded specimens of two engineering thermoplastics, i.e., poly(phenylene ether) and poly(ether imide), were characterized employing the density gradient column technique. The samples were molded using a 40t Van Dorn injection molding machine. The effects of the thermal history on the density distribution of unconstrained quenched specimens were also investigated. In addition, various material properties, such as pressure-volume-temperature, isothermal contraction, and pressure induced densification behavior were characterized, for the two resins employed in this study. The moldings of the two resins exhibited different trends in their density distributions. These findings were explained in terms of the competing effects of cooling rate and the pressure history experienced by the engineering plastic resins during the molding cycle. The data collected were also used as input to mathematical modeling of density distributions in injection molded articles, which is reported in Part II of this article.

    Notes: The problem of steady solidification of a power law fluid flowing in a round tube was solved numerically. The fluid considered was a polymer with temperature dependent viscosity. The mathematical solution was obtained by using an implicit finite difference method. Results are presented to show the effects of the Peclet number, Nahme number, and the power law index on the profiles of the frozen layer. Melt temperature profiles at different axial locations are also presented.

    Notes: Extensional flow of a bicomponent two-layer slot cast coextrusion process has been studied. A Newtonian and an upper-convected Maxwell fluid were considered to be the two layers, respectively, and the two-layer flow was assumed to be steady and isothermal. This choice was made as a simple model for a system which consists of two distinctly different fluids in terms of their extensional behaviors. Present study considered only the draw-down region where the film thickness changes slowly with the distance from the die exit. For this region, asymptotic solutions could be obtained for two limiting cases in which the elasticity effect of the Maxwell fluid layer is small and the applied tension at the take-off is large, respectively. When the elasticity effect is small, the melt thickness and the velocity profiles are exponential as in the case of a Newtonian single-layer flow. When the applied tension is large, on the other hand, the velocity profile is shown to be near linear. Furthermore, the viscoelasticity effect of the Maxwell fluid layer becomes so dominant that it dictates the mechanics of the coextrusion flow even when its flow rate and shear viscosity may be much smaller than those of the Newtonian layer.

    Notes: Sudden changes of compressive strain-rate on glassy poly(methyl methacrylate) lead to the conclusion that the post-yield state under a constant stress is a state of steady flow in the polymer. Non-linearity between the stress divided by temperature and the logarithm of strain rate for this steady plastic flow can successfully be analyzed using the Eyring equation with structural factors variable depending on stress and temperature. This analysis gives a unique functional relationship between the activation entropy and the activation enthalpy, which agrees fairly well with that for the melt derived from the WLF equation. This agreement provides a direct evidence verifying structural change of the glass into liquid-like structure and enables us to recognize the conformational arrangement as an essential structural parameter controlling molecular mobility. Another experimental relation between the Eyring factors - the activation volume and the activation enthalpy - permits us to estimate the magnitude of an elementary volume for the molecular movement in the melt as a function of temperature. Moreover, the experimental finding of the steady flow in the glassy polymer motivated us to propose a transition mechanism from elastic deformation to plastic flow in which the internal viscosity or the activation volume is introduced as a single parameter representing the transient state of the structure.

    Notes: An apparatus was designed and assembled to study the solvent removal from solution-cast thin polymer films. The computer interfacing of a thermogravimetric analyzer, spectrophotometer, electronic flowmeters, and control valves for the apparatus enabled the preprogramming of the carrier gas velocity, carrier gas solvent content, and temperature profiles to simulate the environment experienced in large parallel flow industrial driers. The apparatus has also been designed and operated to enable the visual observation of the drying film with an optical microscope. Initial experimental studies conducted with the apparatus involved the effect of temperature on solvent removal. The results indicate that high dryer gas temperatures can apparently cause skinning of the film surface resulting in slower solvent removal rates. The skin formation can be suppressed by higher solvent concentration in the carrier gas. The visual observations revealed the formation of standing waves in the film surface during drying at high gas velocities (〉2OO cm/min). The wave formation at least partially overcomes the effect of skinning by increasing the surface area of the film, and may be the manifestation of flow instabilities involving circulation within the film.

    Notes: Ultrasonically induced bubble formation for the production of thermoplastic foam was investigated experimentally and theoretically as a basic study. A general purpose polystyrene and blends of low density polyethylene and polyethylene wax were saturated with nitrogen gas under various pressures and the ultrasonic excitation was applied to the polymer system upon release of gas pressure. The ultrasonic nucleation of bubbles in the polymer matrix was modeled by utilizing the classical nucleation theory. The negative pressure generated by the ultrasonic excitation was considered as the environmental pressure at the moment of nucleation. The experimental results showed that the heterogeneous nucleation must be used for ultrasonic foaming of the viscous fluid and the homogeneous nucleation for the low viscosity fluid. The theoretical analysis also indicated that the ultrasonic nucleation can be applied to the production of thermoplastic foam if the ultrasonic excitation generates large enough negative pressure.

    Notes: Extrusion measurements have been carried out on blends of nylon 6 and a liquid-crystalline copolyesteramide (LCP). The flow curves at low temperature show a behavior similar to that of pure LCP with a rapid rise of the viscosity at low shear rates. At high shear rates the viscosity is lower than that for each of the two components. This minimum has been attributed to the lack of interactions between the two phases and to the formation of fibrils of the LCP phase. The SEM analysis shows, indeed, that fibrils of the LCP phase are produced in the convergent flow at the inlet of the capillary at high shear rates. These fibrils are lost during the flow in the long capillary.

    Notes: Optimal open loop control strategies are developed for a semibatch free radical copolymerization of methyl methacrylate and vinyl acetate using the multiobjective dynamic optimization method. A detailed kinetic model is validated through experimentation and used for the design of optimal controls. Both monomer feed rate and reactor temperature are varied to produce the copolymer of desired composition and molecular weight. The open loop control policies are implemented in a process control computer and tested on an experimental stirred tank polymerization system. Excellent agreement between the model predictions and the experimental data have been obtained.
