    Notes: The kinetics of the molecular vaporization process of 21 plasticizers were investigated in detail. By both isothermal and nonisothermal kinetic methods, it was evident that 11 were quite pure single compounds, while 10 were clearly mixtures of compounds. For the single component species internal energies for vaporization and rates of volatilization are listed. The internal energies of vaporization are about one-half or less of values one can estimate from the additive factor method of Small. Thus, solubility parameters based on our experimental values are low by about 30 percent. From this and previous work on linear alkanes, it is concluded that in the molecular vaporization process, the large organic molecules studied evaporate approximately as spheres and hence low values for the energy of vaporization are obtained. Consequently, the difference between our experimental energy and that estimated from solubility parameters is the energy for extending the molecule in a vacuum environment.

    Notes: In this paper the results of both the theoretical and experimental stress analyses of composite materials reinforced with ribbons are presented. The reinforcing materials for such composites are characterized as two-dimensional elements which are isotropic in planes parallel to the faces. The theoretical work is based on the finite element method. Experimentally, the photoelastic technique is employed to determine the stresses around the glass ribbons embedded in an epoxy matrix. The specimens, containing a number of aligned ribbons, were loaded in tension parallel to the ribbon width. The variation of shearing stress at the ribbon-matrix interface as well as the pertubation effect on both the ribbon normal stress and interfacial shear due to the discontinuity of the neighboring ribbons are discussed.

    Notes: Earlier work reported the superposition of flow curves for plasticized compounds of vinyl chloride homopolymer with corresponding curves for unplasticized resin. Viscosity shift factors for three plasticizer systems plotted against temperature define an apparent fusion temperature for the bulk polymer. A Brabender Plasticorder, used as a temperature-scanning rheometer, determined fusion temperatures for various plasticized PVC compounds. These data confirm a fusion temperature for bulk polymer near 205°C, and permit calculation of Flory-Huggins χ parameters over substantial ranges of composition and temperature. The thermodynamic parameter correlates well with viscosity shift factors for compounds with polymer volume fractions below 0.6. The possibility is therefore raised of calculating flow characteristics for plasticized PVC compounds from knowledge of χ only. The temperature and composition dependence of χ, estimated for the system PVC-diiso-octyl phthalate, is similar to reported variations in simpler polymer-diluent systems. Thus, PVC-plasticizer systems may follow analogous thermodynamic rules.

    Notes: Studies have been made of the heat and light induced oxidation of ether linked commercial thermoplastics using a variety of analytical methods. Our studies on polyoxymethylene, polyphenylene oxide, and its blends with polystyrene are discussed here. Comparisons of heat and light stability are made with thermoplastics previously reported.Heat aging of polyoxymethylene causes a decrease in elongation and weight as well as volatile product formation and changes in the infrared spectrum indicative of chain scission. Exposure to ultraviolet light accelerates the oxidative reaction. Polyoxymethylene copolymer is more thermally stable but both polymers are rapidly degraded during light aging.Investigation of the heat and light induced oxidation of polyphenylene oxide shows that oxidation, in either case, leads to a crosslinking reaction resulting in embrittlement of the polymer. The process is difficult to retard. However, oxygen uptake results indicate that blends of polyphenylene oxide and polystyrene can be suitably stabilized against thermal oxidation. Preliminary results indicate that oxidation of these blends proceeds by a chain scission mechanism.

    Notes: This paper illustrates a numerical simulation of polymer flow as applied to the injection molding fill process. The simulation model considers heat conduction and viscous heat generation along with the temperature dependence of the flow parameters to predict fill lengths and fill times of thin constant crossection cavities. This simulation is designed for molding situations where fill is difficult, such as thin cavity sections, long flow length requirements, or difficult-to-process materials. The simulation sensitivity is explored by performing experimental molding trials with two different cavity thicknesses. The thinner cavity illustrated a short shot in all cases with the thick cavity completely filling. The simulation accurately distinguishes between the short shot and fill conditions, although significant error is noted for the length prediction of the short shot and the time-to-fill of the full shot condition.

    Notes: When plastics are used for outdoor applications, they often deteriorate fairly rapidly. Theoretical explanation is based upon absorption of ultraviolet energy, raising some bonds to an energy level which exceeds their stability, and thus initiating their breakdown, usually involving atmospheric oxidation and sometimes hydrolysis as well. This theory is satisfactory for many polymers, but does not explain the instability of some polymers which are transparent to ultraviolet, nor the stability of some polymers which contain ultraviolet-absorbing and/or unstable groups. Plastics are often stabiliized by addition of ultraviolet reflectors, absorbers, or deactivators, increasing stability sufficiently for outdoor use; theoretical explanation of their protective action is satisfactory when they work, but does not explain their specificity or their failures.

    Notes: The residence time distribution (RTD) functions were derived for screw extruders, based on the “parallel plate” and curved channel flow models. The results indicate a relatively narrow distribution, and they explain several characteristics of screw extruders. The strain distribution in the fluid across the channel was also derived. With the aid of these two functions an average strain of the fluid leaving the extruder was defined. The resulting weighted-average total strain (WATS) provides a quantitative criterion to the “goodness of mixing” in extruders.

    Notes: The dynamic elastic moduli were measured on macroscopic models simulating two-phase microstructures where the second phase was present as a continuous, isotropic network. Using open-pore polymer foams with higher-moduli, infiltrating matrices, the composite moduli were found to be linear with volume fraction of the network phase. Variations of network cell size or surface area indicated that the moduli increased with increasing interfacial area, but only when interphase wetting was present and matrix contraction upon solidification occurred. Metallic foams with a lower moduli matrix produced moduli that were compatible with existing bounding theories for composites.

    Notes: The unusual physical properties of polybutylene are ascribed to details of morphology and a unique crystalline transformation. Inherent properties important for industrial film uses include toughness, low creep, relatively high temperature resistance, stress crack resistance and flexibilty. Four types of packaging applications are described for a new polybutylene resin based on butene-1 monomer. These include industrial film, easy opening tear packages, shrink film, and rotationally molded tanks.A polybutylene shrink film is described having a combination of optical and shrink properties similar to vinyl shrink film, but with mechanical properties typical of polyolefin shrink films.Rotationally molded parts exhibit an unusual degree of toughness, stress crack resistance, and low crystallization stresses in thick parts.

    Notes: The thermal instability of polybutadiene-based rubber used to improve the impact strength of vinyl-type polymers often presents processing problems. Rubber manufacturers have attempted to alleviate this situation by incorporating various types of stabilizers. However, this is not always successful. One of the consequences of using a rubber that is not sufficiently stable in the production of modified vinyl-type polymers is the formation of insoluble gel particles during processing. In an attempt to prevent this from occurring, a test was developed that can differentiate between rubbers of acceptable and non-acceptable thermal stability. In principle, the test consists of exposing the rubber in question to a controlled thermal abuse of such intensity and duration as to approximate the thermal abuse to which the rubber will be subjected in a normal processing sequence. (The extent of abuse will vary for different processes and must be empirically established for each system.) Following this controlled exposure, the rubber is tested for gel-particle content by filtration of a specific solution, much the same way that the rubber manufacturer tests for initial gel-particle content. Sufficient data have been compiled to statistically describe the validity of the test.

    Notes: The recent history of planar reinforced plastic resins, including glass flake, high modulus ceramic flake, and continuous vapor coated film composites, is reviewed. The theoretical mechanics of both continuous (film) and discontinuous (flake and ribbon) reinforcements are summarized in simple form. A novel set of design curves is presented from which the lower bound requirements for the flake composite constitutents may be read directly. At the same time, the dependence of the composite ultimate strength on the shear strength of the plastic resin matrix is demonstrated.The mechanical properties of experimental film and flake composites representative of recent work are reported and compared with the theoretical predictions. In conclusion, the potential of planar reinforced plastic resin composites is discussed and found to be significant for applications where low weight and high isotropic stiffness are required, for example in aero-structural, airfoil, or blade components.

    Notes: A new method of treating torque rheometer test data has been developed. First, it involves converting the torque values measured over a range of temperatures to torques corresponding to a constant reference temperature. Then the log of the calculated torques is plotted against time. The method has been applied to several polypropylene grades, and the effects of numerous test variables have been explored. Correlations have been developed between torque rheometer data and fundamental polymer properties of viscosity and molecular weight. The method should also be applicable to polymers other than polypropylene.

    Notes: The use of a commercially available thermomechanical analyzer (TMA) operated in its isothermal mode is illustrated for studies of penetration of a hemispherically-tipped probe into a material sample. Two amorphous copolymers were studied at various temperatures above their softening points. Kinetics of penetration are compared with tensile creep measurements for these viscoelastic materials. A simple semi-empirical relationship between creep and penetration at small strains is applied and found to yield approximate although not exact agreement with experiment. It is thus possible that for homogeneous materials of this type creep data might be easily predicted with a fair degree of accuracy from penetration data and vice versa. Experimental problems involved in the TMA penetration technique are discussed.

    Notes: In this study, a linearly viscoelastic polyurethane film was subjected to continuous, sinusoidal deformation in a new isothermal deformation calorimeter, whose design details were recently reported (1). Internal energy and entropy of the polymer at each state in the deformation cycle were computed from heat rate and work rate data. This was made possible by using linear viscoelasticity theory to predict the irreversible entropy production. Thermal data were corrected for instrument time lag.

    Notes: The need for low-pressure molding of electronic assemblies and devices has long been realized by customers and plastic processors throughout the military, space, and commercial industry. Probably the single, greatest advance in this area to date has been the introduction of liquid resin molding or, as sometimes called, liquid transfer molding and liquid injection molding. This paper briefly discusses the studies being conducted in the area of material developments, applications, and tooling considerations and cites several case histories comparing the advantages of liquid resin molding vs powder molding. This paper also includes the relatively new efforts being investigated for economical mass production of solid state light-emitting diodes and solid state optical numerical readouts.

    Notes: A torsion pendulum study of boron fiber-epoxy resin composites has shown marked deviations, at elevated temperatures, from the predicted behavior. A new damping peak at approximately 180°C as measured at 5 Hz is present which appears to be independent of the type of epoxy resin present in the matrix. This peak is attributed to interfacial effects between the boron fibers and the matrix resin. A linear model is tentatively proposed to explain this effect.

    Notes: The results of an experimental study of melt fracture using polystyrene samples of narrow and broad molecular weight distribution are presented. The weight average molecular weight (M̄w) ranged from 9.72 × 104 to 1.80 × 106 and the distribution breadth M̄w/M̄η from 1.06 to 9.21. The critical shear stress varies linearly with 1/M̄w, increases slightly with temperature and is independent of the distribution of molecular weights. This type of behavior is satisfactorily explained in terms of Graessley's entanglement theory.

    Notes: A correlation is developed between the melt elasticity and temperature, the melt elasticity being defined by the normal stress difference. The correlation follows the form of the Arrhenius equation, for the temperature range tested, for high density polyethylene and polypropylene melts. Measurements were taken using the capillary rheometer which is described in detail in the author's earlier publications. The author further presents a correlation between the pressure drop at the entrance of a capillary and the residual pressure at the exit of the capillary (exit pressure). The correlations presented in the paper support the author's earlier contention that the exit pressure is indeed a manifestation of elastic behavior.

    Notes: Cobalt promoters presently used in the polyester processing industry suffer from many shortcomings ranging from shelf instability to strong discoloration of the resins and relatively poor activity. This paper describes the various performance improvements obtainable with coordination complexes of cobalt which can be used as polymerization accelerators in presence of organic peroxide initiators. These complexes appear to present significant advantages over the conventional cobalt carboxylates. Catalytic activity up to ten times that of cobalt soap was recorded with some complexes in various resin systems, without deleterious effects on physical properties. As gel-cure modifiers, the compounds evaluated seem to increase the long term shelf stability of pre-promoted resins while reducing the discoloration and air inhibition during the curing process of polyester thin films.

    Notes: A theoretical model for melting in plasticating extruders is described. Compared to previous models, this model introduces more accurate and less restrictive assumptions, adds a mass balance on the entire channel, and replaces certain approximate solutions by exact solutions. Flow of the solid bed is represented by a solid bed acceleration parameter, SBAP, which permits solid bed acceleration in a screw compression section. New experimental melting data for a variety of screw designs, polymers, and extruder sizes are presented and compared to the theoretical predictions. With the optimum SBAP, reasonably accurate model prediction of the melting profiles is observed for a wide variety of cases.

    Notes: The effects of polymer molecular weight, molecular weight distribution, and orientation on the rate of relaxation-controlled sorption of n-pentane by glassy polystyrene were studied. The sorption follows Case II kinetics but for films which sorb slowly the sorption rate increases at relatively long times until sorption is sharply terminated. This rate increase may be explained by the development of dispersed microvoids within the unrelaxed film core. Overshoot of the equilibrium n-pentane content occurs in sorption experiments in which accelerated sorption is pronounced.The sorption rate is independent of polymer molecular weight and molecular weight distribution per se over a broad wrange of these parameters. Essentially identical vapor sorption kinetics were observed for well annealed polystyrene films of different molecular weights and distributions. Conversely, for vapor sorption by uniaxially oriented films and for liquid sorption by partially annealed films, high molecular weight film (1,880,000) exhibits greater sorption rates than low molecular weight film (ca. 200,000). These differences in rate are not due to molecular weight differences per se, but are a consequence of the dissimilar response of free volume and strain development for films of different molecular weight prepared with a given time-temperature-strain history.Crazing of carefully annealed polystyrene films occurs during desorption of n-pentane from partially saturated films. The depth of craze penetration reflects the point of advance of the discontinuous Case II sorption boundary.

    Notes: It has been well established in the literature that the internal pressure, Pi = (∂E/∂V)T, of a polymer in the glassy state is about half the value expected from the behavior of the polymer just above the glass temperature, Tg. Consideration of this behavior in terms of a recent analysis of factors affecting internal pressures leads to the conclusion that the expression for the total energy of a glass must include a volume-dependent stored energy term, a term not present above Tg. This stored energy could be associated with actual bond and segment deformations in the glassy state. Brittleness and solvent cracking behavior of glasses will be strongly dependent on this stored elastic energy which can be modified by altering the molding conditions under which the glass is formed.

    Notes: An experimental procedure is outlined to examine the potential of thermoplastic sheets in draw forming. Experiments carried out on a variety of materials indicate that the following requirements must be fulfilled for a thermoplastic sheet to be cold formable: (1) The glass transition of polymer should be above ambient temperature and above the temperature of forming, (2) tensile elongation at break should equal or exceed 30%, (3) ratio of tensile to compressive yield stress should equal or exceed 1.6 and (4) sheet must not yield locally (neck) when strained in tension.An experimental method has been developed to determine the compressive, friction and bending forces which oppose the drawing force exerted by the punch. It is shown that the compressive force is, in most cases, largest. A stress analysis is carried out leading to an expression correlating the maximum depth of draw as a function of basic properties of sheets such as tensile strength (St*) and compressive yield stress (Sc). The effect of rolling on drawability is examined and interpreted in terms of the ratio St*/Sc. The cold formed items have a lower heat distortion temperature than their thermoformed counterparts.

    Notes: A theoretical model for a short fiber reinforced composite is proposed. The composite is assumed to consist of an aggregate of sub-units, each sub-unit possessing the elastic properties of a reinforced composite in which the fibers are continuous and fully aligned. The elastic constants of a partially oriented composite are then calculated by the Voigt and Reuss averaging procedures, giving upper and lower bounds respectively for the composite modulus. Comparison is made with experimental data for such composites. The measured modulus of glass and carbon fiber composites is found to be given by the Reuss or lower bound, to a good approximation compared with the difference between the bounds, for fiber orientations ranging from almost isotropic to highly aligned.

    Notes: An experimental study of the inflation of a thin polymer sheet has been conducted to determine whether this technique can be used to measure the biaxial extensional viscosity of bulk polymers. Viscosities were determined at various extensional strain rates using two undiluted polyisobutylene samples having different molecular weights. Advantages, limitations, and errors associated with the method are discussed.

    Notes: The effects of temperature, strain rate and filler content on tensile properties of SAN/glass bead composites are studied. A point of discontinuity on the stress-strain curves for unannealed composites is investigated, annealing results in smooth curves with no discontinuities. A simple model for the filler effect on yield stress is suggested and shown to be in a good agreement with experimental data. A double shifting procedure to account for the temperature and filler effects on yield stress as a function of strain rate is proposed. A single master curve that can be represented by the equation: \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$$ \frac{{\sigma yc}}{{{\rm 1 - 1}{\rm .21}\phi ^{{\rm 2/3}} }} = A + B\,{\rm ln (}\dot \epsilon a_T) $$\end{document} relates composite yield stress to strain rate, temperature and filler volume fraction.

    Notes: Glass-reinforced thermoplastics are being considered in many structural applications and fabricators require design information on these materials. Basic creep data are, in many cases, the most useful for design purposes. The work reported here concerns the development of methods of increasing our efficiency in generating creep data. The methods developed are applicable to polypropylene and coupled, glass-reinforced polypropylene. A stress-time superposition procedure has been found valid for extending creep data generated on coupled glass-reinforced polypropylene at several glass levels and at temperatures of 23 and 80°C.

    Notes: Investigations on the extrusion characteristics of composite systems were performed on the Sieglaff-McKelvey capillary rheometer, with particular emphasis on the characterization of flow instability and “melt fracture” phenomena. The mechanisms of melt fracture appear to be identical for both the filled and unfilled polymers (1. Polyethylene with glass beads; 2. Ethylene-propylene copolymer with graphitized carbon black). In all cases, the flow curves exhibit a plateau at some value of the shear stress. Above this shear stress plateau, melt fracture occurs. Although slip flow is the dominant mode of transport during melt fracture, the slippage in the tube may not be a necessary condition for the subsequent severe melt fracture.

    Notes: Experimental studies were performed with low density polyethylene, acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene polymers and on polyvinyl chloride to elucidate the nature of the plasticating process in a reciprocating-screw injection molding machine. Melting data, obtained by use of the “cooling experiment,” and plastic temperature data reveal that the screw recharge process is a transient plasticating extrusion process which gradually approaches the equilibrium extrusion behavior as the screw rotates. If the screw rotation time is a high percentage of the total cycle time, the plasticating behavior is very similar to steady-state extrusion behavior, but if the screw rotation time is a small percentage of the total cycle time, the plasticating behavior is significantly different. Furthermore, better plasticating is obtained by use of a low RPM and high percentage rotation time than by a high RPM and low percentage rotation time.

    Notes: The peculiar behavior of thermoplastic elastomers in molding suggested that the processing steps (mainly shearing) to which the material had been submitted had a great influence on the morphology. Experiments were carried out on two polysstyrene-polybutadiene-polystyrene elastomers. The effects of melt-shearing and cooling were examined both by mechanical testing and low angle X-ray scattering. Melt-shearing creates a marked morphological anisotropy but a form of annealing can occur at sufficiently high temperatures.

    Notes: A theoretical model for the transient melting behavior in a reciprocating-screw injection molding machine is proposed. The model is based on a steady state extrusion model, Neumann's melting problem, and a heuristic postulate for the transient behavior. The model predictions are compared to experimental melting data for low density polyethylene, acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene polymers and polyvinyl chloride for a variety of operating conditions and two screw designs. A useful degree of correlation is demonstrated for all experimental cases.

    Notes: An experimental study is carried out to elucidate the melt fracture mechanism. For the study, the electrical outputs of the melt pressure transducers, mounted on the wall of a circular tube, are recorded on a Sanborn recording system. It has been observed from this study that the wall pressures start to fluctuate prior to the inception of visible melt fracture. The frequency and amplitude of the excursion signals are increased as the shear rate is increased up to and beyond the critical value. This behavior has been observed for three polymer samples tested: polystyrene, high density polyethylene, and low density polyethylene. The fluctuations of wall pressures are interpreted as due to an irregular flow of polymer melts at the tube wall. It is further investigated to find the effects of the die entry angle of a capillary, and capillary length-to-diameter ratio on the critical shear rate. A correlation between exit pressure and shear stress has been found for polystyrene and low density polyethylene. It is found that at and above the critical stress, the exist pressure increases abruptly. This is interpreted to be a sudden change in the elastic properties of the materials above melt fracture since Han et al have shown that the exist pressure is a measure of the elastic properties.

    Notes: Extensional flows have been the object of study in several laboratories in recent years. Polymeric systems have been studied in most cases because of their interesting behaviour and also because of the importance of their rheological properties to the plastics engineer. Controlled, steady elongation is more difficult to achieve in the laboratory than the more traditional viscometric flows. Moreover, it is not in general possible to predict the response of a viscoelastic material to steady extension based on knowledge of its viscometric functions.This review begins by presenting some useful expressions describing the kinematics of extensional flows. Then some results of interest from rational mechanics are presented and the behaviour predicted by a number of constitutive equations for viscoelastic fluids are discussed. After presenting the pertinent relations of linear viscoelasticity for extensional flows, experimental methods and results for steady simple extension are reviewed and some possible implications for the processing of molten polymers are discussed.

    Notes: Controlled changes in crystallization conditions and shear history prior to and following both extrusion and compression molding were shown to drastically alter the mechanical properties of the polymer studied. This material, Poly[3,3-(bischloromethyl) oxacyclobutane], is an essentially linear polymer with a number average molecular weight of 300,000. The effect of heat transfer, as limited by experimental conditions, had a primary influence upon the crystallization phenomenon and therefore also upon the morphology and the resultant mechanical properties.By proper selection of processing conditions it was possible to alter the mechanical properties of this polymer from brittle behavior to the ability to form a neck and draw to high degrees of elongation. Using conditions that imparted the ability to neck and draw, it was shown that this process is sensitive to both strain rate during testing and extrusion rate during processing. The underlying cause of the effects upon mechanical properties appear to be the dramatic changes occurring in morphology as a result of the selected processing conditions.A chemical etching agent was used on these samples prior to replication, and observation in the electron microscope. Using this technique the internal morphology was studied and compared to the surface morphology. There was not a gradient of morphology in these samples. Furthermore, the use of this etching agent that attacked non-crystalline regions preferentially, suggested that the lamellar fine structure of spherulites is composed of smaller units.

    Notes: The progress of interfacial debonding caused by the diffusion of boiling water to glass fibre/polyester resin interfaces has been followed by shining a He-Ne laser beam along fibres and recording the changes in intensity of the emergent beam. Compared with measurements of electical conductivity arising from the presence of diffused water at the interface, it is concluded that the laser beam method provides more certain evidence of debonding.The glass/resin interface has also been investigated in partially cured composites and in filled composites, during exposure to boiling water.

    Notes: Evidence is presented of the main steps in the physical breakdown of glass-fiber reinforced polyester (GRP) composites on outdoor weathering. The chronological sequence is fiber ridging, rupture of the resin layer covering ridging fibers or fibers running close to the surface, spalling of the resin at the site of failure and subsequent erosion, fiber prominence and formation of a network of microcracks. Breakdown is believed to be caused by a type of stress fatigue imposed on the composite by cyclic variation of humidity and temperature in conjunction with solar radiation, and by the action of water and oxygen. The under side of the exposed GRP sheeting shows only incipient breakdown, indicating that solar radiation is an important factor. Countermeasures suggested to reduce breakdown include techniques to keep fibers away from the surface, use of resins with better thermal and moisture characteristics, and use of resin formulations with the best light stability.

    Notes: Practical extrusion processes often involve geometrically complex dies. Such dies are usually tapered, or streamlined, to achieve maximum output rate under conditions of laminar flow. These converging flows may be analysed in terms of their extensional and simple shear components to calculate the relationships between volume flow rate, pressure drop, and post extrusion swelling. The analysis can also be extended to cover the free convergence as fluid flows from a reservior into a die. Comparisons between predicted and observed data for a series of coni-cylindrical dies suggest that using this approach the pressure drop/flow rate relationship can be predicted within ±20% and the swell ratio/flow rate relationship within ±10%. Similar treatments have been in use for the last three years in solving such complex flow problems as radial flow in injection moulding and two-dimensional annular convergence in blow moulding dies.

    Notes: A new method for removal of thin films of photoresist polymers has been found. When polymeric films are exposed to ultraviolet light in the presence of air, the material can be removed leaving an extremely clean surface, free of carbonaceous material. This process has been examined for a variety of photoresist polymers as well as on nonphotoresist polymers and on a variety of substrates. The process offers a new method of photoresist removal.

    Notes: An experimental program was conducted to study the thermochemical, flammability and toxicological characteristics of uncoated and coated polyisocyanurate foams. The coatings used were fluorinated copolymer and an intumescent material. Flammability testing methods included the XP-2 chamber smoke test, ASTM D-1692, infrared photography, Bureau of Mines penetration test, and a JP-4 fuel combustion chamber. The results of these tests are presented in a companion paper. Combustion and pyrolysis gases were analyzed by gas chromatography and mass spectrometry. The LD-50 and LD-100 tests were performed on Sprague-Dawley rats housed in an environmental chamber. The isocyanurate foam, flourinated-copolymer-coated foam, and the intumescent-coated foam were found to have excellent flammability and insulation characteristics, although smoke development was substantial. The LD-50 values for Sprague-Dawley rats, based on a two-week survival, were approximately 2.0 gm/ft3 for all three materials. Examination indicated an absence of any significant cause of death except carbon monoxide poisoning.

    Notes: It has been recognized recently that suspension polyvinyl chloride granules consist of particles ca 1μ in diam which are linked together to form a three-dimensional, sponge-like lattice. This paper deals with the fusion process of this particulate structure of PVC resin during powder extrusion. Extrudates prepared under various extrusion conditions are investigated through the electron microscope using a methyl methacrylate (MMA) embedding method followed by ultrathin sectioning. The MMA embedding method has been proven to be an effective means of revealing the detailed structure of molded PVC. Results showed that the 1μ-particles were subjected to breakdown due to heat and shear into fibrils 100-300 Å in thickness, which were the final structure attainable by extrusion. Discussion was focused on the fibrillar structure especially in relation to the elasticity in plasticized PVC.

    Notes: A stability analysis of fiber spinning of isothermal power-law fluids has been carried out. The analysis for purely viscous fluids indicates that the critical extension ratio increases with an increase in power-law constant q above 1. For q greater than approximately 1.5, very high values of critical extension ratio are obtained. A stability analysis in the presence of viscous and inertial forces indicates that for q 〉 1 critical extension ratio can be correlated to a quantity Rq = q - 1 + 3Re, wherein Re is the Reynolds number. For the values of Rq greather than approximately 0.5, very high values of critical extension ratios are obtained.

    Notes: The dimensional recovery of cold-rolled polycarbonate was measured between 100 and 147°C, and compared to stress-relaxation data. The strain-recovery isotherms were superimposed to produce a master curve which could be represented by a distribution function, U(τ), termed the strain recovery spectrum. U(τ) is found to be nearly identical to the relaxation spectrum, H(τ), calculated from the stress-relaxation master curve; and the shift in U(τ) as a function of temperature, WLF shift factor, is similar to that obtained from other viscoelastic measurements on polycarbonate. For the deformations studied, 25 and 50% reduction in thickness, the recovery behavior is found to be independent of strain (linear), suggesting that nonlinearity in a polymer glass results from large stresses, and not from large strains.

    Notes: A theoretical model was developed for the newly-defined delay zone of the plasticating screw extruder. The delay zone starts at the end of the solids conveying zone, i.e. at the point where the solid plug surface contacting the barrel melts and forms a film of melt up to where the steady state melting mechanism starts to operate. The model permits the film thickness and pressure profiles in this zone to be calculated. Published results were used to support the validity of the model. The results indicate that the film thickness at the end of the delay zone is several times the flight clearance. Finally, a criteria, based on the final value of the film thickness, is suggested to calculate the length of the delay zone.

    Notes: The melt flow of emulsion polymerized polystyrene has been investigated in accordance with the particle flow concepts developed by Berens and Folt. Particles were found to be present in the extrudate up to 210°C and resins with larger particles were found to have lower viscosities. The molecular weight appears to have no significant effect on the melt viscosity above a certain molecular weight. The energy of activation for viscous flow at 190°C and at shear stress of 5 × 105 dynes/cm2 was found to be 29-33 kcal/mol depending on type of resin.

    Notes: High density polyethylene (PE), polycarbonate (PC), and polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) were subjected to uniaxial tensile deformation up to the onset of instability or necking. Simultaneous readings of longitudinal extension and transverse contraction (width and thickness) were obtained continuously during the loading period. From these data, plots of longitudinal versus “average” transverse strain were produced and it was found that the trends were neither constant nor linear over the full strain range employed. Additional plots of per cent volume change versus longitudinal strain indicate that the PMMA and PC show a maximum volume increase of about 0.6% while PE shows a maximum volume decrease on the order of 2.5%. Similar volume decreases have been noted by others and it would appear that structural changes are the most likely cause of this behavior.

    Notes: The kinetics for the thermal degradation of poly (1,4-cyclohexylenedimethylene terephthalate) (PCHDT) were evaluated by means of a melt extruder. The effects of temperature, residence time, and oxygen content of the gas blanketing the polymer during storage on degradation of PCHDT were determined. The rate of thermal degradation was measured in terms of the rate of decrease of inherent viscosity and the rate of increase of carboxyl end group concentration.Residence time, temperature, and their interaction all contributed significantly to the degradation. For the conditions investigated, the oxygen content of the blanketing gas had no measurable effect on degradation. Analysis of the kinetic data yielded equations based on a random chain scission mechanism. These equations enabled the prediction of inherent viscosity and carboxyl end group concentration as functions of temperature and residence time and the inherent viscosity and carboxyl end group concentration of the original polymer. The activation energies for decrease in inherent viscosity and increase in carboxyl end group concentration of poly (1,4-cyclohexylenedimethylene terephthalate) were determined as 38.7 kcal/mole, respectively.

    Notes: An improved apparatus for studying temperature profiles in molten, flowing polymers has been developed. The apparatus incorporates modifications and improvements of earlier temperature profile devices. In addition, this unit made it possible to study temperature profile development as a function of axial flow length. Data taken with the apparatus were found not only to be precise and highly reproducible but also to show the proper trends with respect to physical behavior.

    Notes: Creep tests up to 106 seconds in tension and compression were conducted on polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), and polypropylene (PP). Measurements of longitudinal and lateral strain provided values for tension and compression strain ratio. These increased with time and stress for PMMA and PVC from about 0.38 to 0.44. The results for PP increased from 0.44 to above 0.5 in. tension and showed a decreasing ratio in compression, which suggested a time and stress dependent structural change. Volumetric strain was computed from the linear strains and plotted against stress and axial strain. Except at 102 seconds, the relationships were non-linear up to volumetric strains of about 0.3% and in the cases of PMMA and PVC there were greater changes of volume in tension than compression.

    Notes: While the body is a hostile environment for all types of polymers, an even more serious problem is that of thrombus formation induced by all foreign surfaces, including polymeric surfaces. This is a still largely unsolved problem which hinders the development of artificial internal organs. The thromboresistant materials presently proposed and used in artificial organs include heparinized surfaces and materials found to be thromboresistant in certain implantation cites. In this article tissue-polymer interactions are first discussed and then followed by a discussion of blood-polymer interactions. The mechanism of thrombus formation is presented and some of the possible interactions of blood with surfaces are suggested. Representative nonthrombogenic and thromboresistant materials are discussed.

    Notes: Polystyrene, poly(phenylene oxide), and solution-cast blends of the parent homopolymers were exposed to normal hexane in the liquid and vapor phase. The kinetics of absorption and desorption, the sorption equilibria, and the kinetics of morphological changes were studied as a function of temperature and blend composition.Absorption kinetics of n-hexane vapor in all blends were largely controlled by polymer relaxations. The sorption rates from the vapor phase varied monotonically with blend composition and increased over a range of four orders of magnitude with increasing poly(phenylene oxide) content. The equilibrium n-hexane content similarly increased monotonically with poly(phenylene oxide) content although the increase was only by a factor of two over the entire range of compositions. These results were interpreted in light of and were completely consistent with earlier findings with pure polystyrene homopolymer.Films immersed in liquid n-hexane produced a white, opaque outer shell surrounding an essentially unaffected central core. The kinetics of this whitening process were much more rapid for each of the homopolymers than the kinetics characterizing morphological changes in the blends. These data suggest that film whitening is caused by crazing in the polystyrene-rich samples and that solvent-induced crystallization is involved in the whitening of the poly (phenylene oxide) rich material.

    Notes: We have investigated the low temperature transitions in a urethane prepolymer crosslinked with various amines and triols by measuring their dynamic mechanical properties over a temperature range of 25°C to approximately - 190°C. In the formulations studied, a low temperature transition was observed near - 140°C and the transition was shown to be related to the electronic and steric influences of the curing agent structure at the crosslink site. A quantitative relationship was demonstrated between the low temperature transition peak intensity and the polymer's crosslink density. The above relationships were derived from torsion pendulum and solvent swell experimentation.

    Notes: Using Oxygen Index and the XP-2 test to measure flammability and smoke characteristics, a broad spectrum of thermoplastic and thermoset polymers, both commercial and experimental, were investigated to elucidate the effect of structure on fire properties.In general, polymers with aliphatic backbones are very flammable, but their tendency to generate smoke is minimal. The addition of flame retardants, especially halogen compounds, while reducing their tendency to burn, increases the evolution of smoke. Halogen-containing polymers are usually non-flammable, with high Oxygen Indices, but display high smoke generation. Polymers containing an aromatic group in the side chain, such as polystyrene, are both highly flammable and high smoke producing. However, polymers with the aromatic group in the main chain, such as polysulfone, polycarbonate and polyphenylene oxide, are intermediate in both Oxygen Index and smoke generation.After investigation of the various test methods available, it is concluded that no one test will be satisfactory to measure the flammability characteristics of polymers and that a combination of methods must be used.

    Notes: An important factor in the selection of blow molding resins for producing handled bottles is the effective diameter swell of the parison. Ideally, the diameter swell is directly related to the weight swell and would require no separate consideration. In actual practice, the existence of gravity, the finite parison drop time and the anisotropic aspects of the blow molding operation prevent reliable prediction of the parison diameter swell directly from the weight swell.The parison diameter swell is a complex function of the weight swell, the rate of swell and the melt strength. Elements of this function are presented which show the effect of extrusion rate, parison drop time and parison weight.A technique is presented which allows the estimation of local weight and diameter swell ratios. Their direct relationship is confirmed by data obtained on several blow molding resins. The relationship between weight swell and diameter swell is definitely anisotropic.A mathematical model for swell is proposed which incorporates experimentally determined rate constants and swell coefficients. Correlations are given which suggest fundamental relationships between these derived coefficients and basic variables such as resin properties or process conditions. The model's predictive capability is demonstrated by using it to back calculate parison dimensions.

    Notes: Blow molding of high performance bottles - including carbonated beverage bottles - requires close control of material usage and distribution. Two parameters - polymer viscoelasticity and mechanical/electronic programming - are investigated to determine their influence on weight distribution within the extruded parison. Barex® 210 Resin is utilized in a study of polymer swell and drawdown forces and the changes in material distribution that occur due to melt temperature, extrusion time, parison length, and weight. A system for multipoint mechanical/electrical parison programming is described and its influence on material distribution determined. This technique enables the blow molder to vary the parison material distribution for high performance and economical resin usage.

    Notes: The properties of an epoxidized novolac resin cured with two homologous series of substituted succinic anhydrides (alkenyl and alkyl) have been determined and the effects of anhydride structure on properties have been evaluated. Substituted succinic anhydrides yield cured resins with lower strengths, lower heat distortion temperatures, and lower moduli. Use of substituted succinic anhydrides could broaden the range of application of alicyclic anhydrides to include those requiring a more flexible resin. Effects of specific elements of anhydride structure have been consistently interpreted from properties measurements and from aging and solvent resistance studies.

    Notes: The minimum surface strain required to induce crazing in polymethylmethacrylate and polystyrene in the presence of alcohols and n-heptane has been determined at various temperatures by bending strips of the polymers around formers of varying curvature and immersing them in the liquid reagents. For each polymer/liquid system the long-term crazing strain was independent of test temperature except within a single 30°C interval in which it decreased as the test temperature was raised. It was found that this temperature region corresponded to the glass-rubber transition of the given polymer when, after extended periods of immersion it had achieved equilibrium liquid sorption. This suggested that, in the crazing tests, a condition approximating to equilibrium sorption was being established at the craze tip and that crazing occurred on applying small strains in the presence of the liquids because of their plasticising effect.It was found that not only the plasticizing effect of the liquid environment but also the liquid molecule size influenced the crazing strain; the larger-molecule liquids caused lower long-term crazing strains than did the smaller-molecule liquids.

    Notes: The tensile strength, fracture energy, and impact strength of ABS reinforced with discontinuous crystalline fibers such as FybexDu Pont trademark. can be controlled by manipulating fiber-matrix interfacial adhesion. In “good bonding” situations composite tensile strength, thermal expansion coefficient, and elastic moduli are significantly improved over the unfilled resin. The excellent impact strength of unreinforced ABS can be retained by lowering the fiber-matrix interfacial adhesion. This results in a corresponding reduction in the improvements in tensile and flexural strength. However, the elastic moduli and thermal expansion coefficients are relatively insensitive to changes in adhesion. Consequently, a material with high modulus (〉500,000 psi), high Izod impact resistance (7.0 ft-lb/in.), and low expansion coefficient (3.0 × 10-5 in./in./°F) can be obtained. A material with this unique combination of properties should find use in large parts such as camper tops, truck grilles, and snowmobile bodies.Fiber-matrix adhesion was measured directly by an x-ray analysis technique which could be employed because of the fiber's crystallinity and unique growth habit. This independent measurement allowed a correlation between bonding and composite properties. The interfacial bond strength was manipulated by a variety of fiber coatings and resin additions.

    Notes: The resistance of various linear condensation polymers to acid or base hydrolysis is dependent upon the nature of the linkages in the polymer chain. Aryl polysulfonates having a styrylketone sensitizing group have been shown to be particularly resistant to attack by strong bases. Similar phosphorouscontaining polymers have been prepared and those with the arylphosphonate, thiophosphonate, and phosphate linkages have been found resistant to attack by such acids as ferric chloride. Using a solution polymerization method, these phosphorous polymers and also those containing the phosphite, phosphonite, and phosphorane linkages may readily be prepared. A comparison has been made of the resistance of these polymers and of the corresponding polycarbonates, polysulfonates, and polyesters to various bases and to ferric chloride solutions.

    Notes: The formation of an image in a photoresist during photolithographic processing requires the exposure of the photoresist through a mask to a light source in the spectral region to which the photoresist is sensitive. The functional advantage of the flash exposure of photoresist is presented, which includes the elimination of oxygen effects, the reduction of diffraction and standing wave effects, and the enhancement of pattern-edge acuity. The effects of both broad and narrow band sources are also shown with emphasis on proximity printing techniques. Finally, the optical, electrical and physical design parameters for a practical flash exposure system are discussed.

    Notes: Based on the assumption of a constant critical shear strain, an expression for the critical stress at the onset of entrance fracture as a function of polymer concentration has been developed. Experimental results with 10-25 percent narrow distribution, high molecular weight polystyrene-benzene solutions show the critical stress to be much lower than that for the polymer melt and in agreement with predicted values. This result is all the more impressive when the contrast in flow behavior at the capillary entrance for melts and solutions is observed. Instead of the rotating toroidal vortices surrounding a 90-deg material entrance cone observed with polystyrene melt, cine movies of the solution flow birefringence patterns in the capillary entrance region reveal only a stagnant zone surrounding a narrow cone less than 20 deg. At fracture, the cone axis moves in a rotary path circulating about the capillary axis without undergoing the flow discontinuities typical of melt behavior.

    Notes: A theoretical analysis using finite element methods has been applied to oriented short-fiber composites and spherical particle composites in order to predict the influence of a finite layer at the interface on mechanical properties. In this study the interfacial layer has been modeled by assuming that a layer surrounds the interface and that this layer has a modulus of elasticity different than both the fiber and the matrix. The stress distribution near the interface has been determined as a function of the elastic constants of the interface layer and the interface layer volume fraction. This analysis has also been performed for two volume fractions of fibers and two fiber length to diameter ratios. From this stress distribution, the composite modulus and toughness have been determined as a function of interface modulus. It is theoretically shown that the toughness, measured by amount of strain energy absorbed, can be maximized by controlling the interface modulus. Furthermore, recent experimental results appear to verify the theory.

    Notes: Particulate-filled thermosetting composites are widely used, yet little systematic work has been done on their long-term strength characteristics. In this study short-term tensile, flexural, and impact tests as well as tensile creep-rupture tests were made for unfilled and filled epoxy to clarify the effects of filler size, filler content, and temperature. Fillers used were silica, alumina particles, and glass beads. Test temperatures were varied from 25 to 110°C. As a result of short-term testing, it was found that the Petch relation held between strength and filler size if brittle fracture occurred, while a strength and filler size if brittle fracture occurred, while a strengthening effect existed when ductile fracture occurred. On creeprupture testing, a strengthening is observed with filler size and content for silica and glass beads. The Arrhenius plot of rupture time for various filler sizes and contents converges to a characteristic point corresponding to the glass transition temperature of the material. Using this relation, a modified Larson-Miller master rupture curve is proposed which can predict the long-term strength of particulate-filled thermosetting composites as functions of rupture time, temperature, filler size, and content.

    Notes: Detailed studies have been carried out on the anisotropy of creep and creep rupture behavior of thermoplastics oriented by the imposition of a large permanent deformation. This deformation is usually such as to produce simple fiber symmetry within the specimen. Experimental techniques have been devised for the accurate measurement of all three principal strains during tensile creep on small samples which are cut from the oriented specimens at various angles to the symmetry axis. In this way a full characterization of the creep behavior up to strains of 5 percent has been obtained at room temperature.Results are presented for work on rigid poly (vinyl chloride), poly(methyl methacrylate), and low density polyethylene. The results are discussed in terms of the time dependence and nonlinearity of the anisotropy. Creep rupture results on similar specimens are also presented and discussed. Anisotropy due to orientation is shown to be important in determining engineering properties and in understanding structure-properties relationships.

    Notes: The porosity of poly (vinyl chloride) (PVC) resin particles produced in bulk polymerization is sensitive to polymerization conditions. Using scanning electron microscopy, 60μ spherical beads of PVC are shown to be composed of loosely packed 1μ spherical subparticles. This complex morphology is characterized by a variability in surface area. The surface area of bulk PVC materials can be measured by a chromatographic technique. The elution time of n-octane as a probe molecule on PVC packed columns is simply related to PVC surface area. At approximately constant particle size (measured by Coulter counter and optical microscopy), surface areas measured by argon adsorption are correlated to chromatographic elution times. The bulk density, plastisol viscosity and pore volume (from mercury penetration porosimetry) are determined and related to specific surface area.

    Notes: Plasticized poly(vinyl chloride) formulations were prepared in solid and foam form, and mechanical hysteresis was measured by low-speed tension and compression on an Instron tester and by high-speed rebound on a resiliometer. Hysteresis was greatest in copolymers with vinyl acetate, at low plasticizer concentration, with inefficient plasticizers, at high concentrations of reinforcing fillers, at high expansion to low density, and at high speed of testing. Conversely, resilience was greatest at high plasticizer concentration, with more efficient plasticizers, with non-reinforcing fillers, and at high density.

    Notes: A concentric cyclinder dilatometer was designed and built to study the influence of shear on the crystallization kinetics of polymers. This instrument allows crystallization to be followed at both constant temperature and shear rate. Several samples of polyethylene oxide (Carbowax 4000, Carbowax 20-M, and WSR-205) were used. A low molecular weight fraction of the Carbowax 20-M, as well as the unfractionated material, was crystallized under shear. The WSR-205 was studied only in a mixture with Carbowax 4000. It was shown that the kinetics of crystallization of uncrosslinked melts of polyethylene oxide are altered by shear. The induction times for the appearance of crystallinity are shorter in the sheared systems than in the quiescent melts. The Avrami exponents are also higher for crystallization in sheared melts than in quiescent systems and increase with decreasing supercooling. The high values of the Avrami exponent are attributed to the disruption of crystalline aggregates into particles larger than the critical sized nucleus. These particles will persist in the melt and continue to grow spontaneously. A continuous infusion of growing particles into the melt occurs.At constant temperature and shear rate, the induction time of the crystallization curve is influenced by polymer molecular weight. In moderate to high molecular weight samples, the effect of shear becomes saturated at very low shear rates. Decreasing the molecular weight separates the crystallization curves. The curves from the higher shear rates appear at the shorter induction times. However, decreasing the molecular weight below that at the critical entanglement molecular weight allows the nucleation rate, strongly dependent upon the supercooling, to influence the relative positions of the sheared crystallization curves.

    Notes: Chemical batch-to-batch variations of an acrylonitrile-modified epoxy potting compound were monitored by infrared spectroscopy and correlated to capacitance and hardness measurements of the cured product before and after exposure to high humidity. The reversion resistance of the cured material was dependent upon the amount of a carbonyl functionality in the uncured potting compound. This relationship is an approach to assess the reversion resistance of these types of potting compounds.

    Notes: Classical photochemistry is an ancient branch of chemistry, but in the past its practitioners have restricted their interest primarily to studies in the gas or liquid phases. However the practical applications of photochemistry in recent years have led to an increasing interest in photoreactions which occur in the solid phase, particularly in polymeric systems. One of the first areas of practical interest has been in stabilizing plastic and other polymeric systems against photodegradative reactions initiated by solar radiation. More recently photoreactions in polymers have been used extensively in recording and reproducing photographic and other images.

    Notes: Versatile computer programs capable of simulating near-contact images from arbitrary objects and illumination were reported. Their capability was demonstrated in examples of combinations of different types of object and illumination. From the specific examples, we were able to derive certain general rules: (1) Polychromatic illumination is always better than monochromatic illumination. (Besides observing the examples given above, polychromatic illumination also helps when standing waves in photoresist are considered.) (2) Negative masks are easier to print than positive ones. Note that a negative mask in the sense of optical diffraction means smaller dimension for transparent parts of the mask. (3) Some well designed irregularities in the mask pattern improves the image. (4) The effective depth tolerance is between the limits set by the focussing effect and the image spreading effect. (5) Holographic mask should relax flatness and exposure tolerance.

    Notes: Poly(2-methyl pentene-1) sulfone undergoes scission followed by rapid chain depolymerization when irradiated with 5-20 kV electrons. Several parameters which affect the rate of this process, termed vapor development, were evaluated, viz., molecular weight, dose rate, temperature, accelerating voltage and film thickness. While it was never really possible to remove 100 percent of the film, it was possible to remove 〉 99 percent at reasonably low doses (∼ 10-6 coul/cm-2) using high temperatures (∼ 100°C) and low accelerating voltage (5 kV). Some lithographic details of this process are also described.

    Notes: Poly(methyl isopropenyl ketone) (PMIPK) degrades upon exposure to 5 keV electrons. Using a scanning electron microscope to expose fine-line raster patterns in thin films of this polymer and subsequently solvent-developing the thus-degraded regions, sharp walled troughs are observed, the width of which is a measure of the sensitivity to degradation. Copolymers with several vinyl monomers were prepared and the sensitivities of these were similarly determined. Information relevant to the mechanism of depolymerization was obtained by comparing homopolymers with copolymers and by the use of additives in the irradiated polymer films. Examples of potential device-fabrication techniques using PMIPK resist are given.

    Notes: In the manufacture of electronic devices for integrated circuits, reducing the number of resist steps is desirable for a variety of reasons. We describe some experiments on a process aimed at reducing the number of resist and registration steps in electron beam lithography. The process involves locally varying the electron dose in an electron sensitive resist (in this case poly[methyl methacrylate]) so that the different levels of exposure can be distinguished by subsequent developing. Reliable results have been achieved with three levels: (i)Strongly exposed (resist removed after short immersion in developer).(ii)Partially exposed or “metastable” (resist removed only after prolonged immersion in developer).(iii)Unexposed.In strongly exposed regions, operations such as etching may take place while using the metastable and unexposed regions to protect the workpiece. Subsequently, the metastable region may be developed for further processing.

    Notes: Techniques have been developed for measuring the strain and thermal histories of fluid elements as they move from the die lips to the freeze line. Motion pictures were analyzed to determine the rates of extension in the machine and transverse directions. A radiation pyrometer was used to measure the temperature of the film. These techniques were used to study the film blowing of polyethylene; a 2.5-in. diameter die was used, and blow-up ratios in the range of 1.8 to 3.4 were employed. Film thickness ranged from 2 to 4 mils. The maximum measured extensional strain rates in both the transverse and machine direction were in the range of 0.15 to 0.6 sec-1. Standard shrinkage and impact tests were performed on the finished films, and an attempt was made to correlate the results with several simple empirical norms of the strain history. No correlation could be discerned. The results of this study are inconsistent with some popular ideas about the origin of orientation in blow films, but they are consistent with some recently published data on the influence of deformation on orientation in melt-drawn capillary extrudate.

    Notes: The general incompatibility and microheterogeneity of polymeric mixtures are discussed. The concepts are extended to elastic polyblends whose polymer constituents are polarizable, non-conducting and non-magnetic. A theory is then developed for the interactions of dynamic deformation fields in polyblends with applied electromagnetic fields. It is shown that certain electro- and magneto-acoustical and optical effects are the outcome of the above-mentioned interactions. Plane elastic as well as electromagnetic waves are shown to be generally dispersive in such media. We have employed an internal scale parameter, commonly called the couple stresses constant, which can be estimated by measuring the speeds of plane waves, thus enabling polymer engineers and scientists to evaluate incompatibility in elastic polyblends. The present work also establishes a generalized Faraday effect by showing that there exist three pairs of left and right circularly polarized plane waves traveling at different speeds in a polyblend. We also discuss a new phenomenon, i.e. “micromagneto-elastic dragging”, emerging from our analysis. This phenomenon asserts that the more profound the internal incompatibility of polyblends, the more depressed the speed of plane waves below their normal values observed in the absence of incompatibility. For convenience, we have called such materials elastic micro-dielectric polymers or, in short, EMDP.

    Notes: The spectral sensitivity of bisazide sensitized rubbers has been extended to 5000Å by the addition of p-azidocinnamylidene derivatives of cyclohexanone. The photoresists were suitable for projection exposure at 4050 and 4350 Hg lines. The photospeed of the compositions is enhanced by increasing the unsaturation of the polymer component. Speed increase could also be obtained by exposure of the films at elevated temperatures.

    Notes: In order to determine the effects of chemical structure on electron beam resist sensitivities, a series of polymers with different reactive components and additives has been investigated. The results, based on a larger number of exposures varying over five orders of magnitude, point out several interesting facts. The data indicate that the sensitivity of negative resists is not a linear function of molecular weight as previously supposed. Also, the negative electron resists tend to be more sensitive and cover a broader range of sensitivities than positive resists. The results further show that olefin and epoxy groups greatly enhance the crosslinking rate of these exposed polymers. However, additives, which are good energy transferring type sensitizers, have little effect on resist sensitivity. This last result is not surprising considering the nonselectivity of the exciting electrons.

    Notes: A theoretical model for melting in reciprocating screw injection molding machines is proposed. The model permits the calculation of the solid bed profile as a function of time during the injection cycle. It consists of a dynamic extrusion melting model for the rotation period, a transient heat conduction model with a phase transition for the screw rest period, and a proposed model for the drifting of the beginning of melting during the injection cycle.

    Notes: The rheology of a high molecular weight polyisobutylene “Vistanex” L-80 is measured at 20°C under constant stress creep loading in simple shear and simple elongation and compared with published data for biaxial extension. These data can be reduced to a single curve by the application of simple geometric parameters and instability during extensional flows may be interpreted on the basis of the Considère construction. The results are further extended by dynamic measurements to estimate the viscoelastic response of this material over a time scale of nine orders of magnitude. The rheological response shows an approximately linear relationship with stress up to elongation strains of 1.0, and, because of this, the results do not illuminate the present controversy over the selection of different equations of state to represent non-linear polymer melt flow. However, this body of data, which the authors believe to be the most comprehensive presently available in terms of strain level and deformation geometry, does demonstrate that a viscoelastic polymer can respond to different deformation geometries in a simple manner.

    Notes: Problems associated with single-lap shear testing of a structural epoxy adhesive are discussed relative to analyses of the epoxy by infrared spectroscopy, gel permeation chromatography, scanning electron microscopy and other instrumental methods. The value of analytical techniques for assessing the adhesive's cure are shown, including a peculiar correlation of lap shear bond strength with the adhesive's initial uncured state as defined by infrared spectroscopy and gel permeation chromatography. This resulted in the development of definitive batch-to-batch adhesive quality control methods and specifications involving the water content, curing agent, and oxirane concentrations of the uncured system.

    Notes: The mechanical properties of a series of thermoplastics reinforced with unidirectionally oriented short fibers are reported. Both organic and inorganic fiber reinforcements were used in fiber volume fractions of 0.10 to 0.50. A number of these composites were found to have excellent strength and stiffness properties combined with good toughness and low density. The dependence of composite properties on the properties of the constituent materials is discussed. Fiber efficiency factors for strength and modulus are presented and models for predicting composite mechanical behavior are reviewed.

    Notes: Rigid, glassy plastics differ over a wide range in the amount of energy they can absorb before fracturing under the influence of an applied stress. It is here proposed that molecular structure influences energy absorption more significantly by determining the onset of fracture than by its effect on the energy-dissipating processes themselves. Emphasis has been placed, therefore, on finding a relationship between molecular structure and the onset of fracture. Since many relationships between molecular structure and bulk mechanical response have already been established, it should be a useful step to relate the onset of fracture to bulk mechanical responses. The hypothesis is developed that the appropriate bulk property is the stress-deformation function of the material. The observed stress-deformation function is of such a nature that a highly non-homogeneous deformation is produced at any point of stress concentration. Typically, this is a narrow region in which the material is highly deformed while the deformation in adjacent material is still slight. Fracture initiation is postulated to occur in such a region of high deformation. Differences among polymers in the shape of the stress-deformation function are demonstrated experimentally. These differences correlate with tough-brittle behavior. An explanation is proposed in terms of the probability of fracture initiation.

    Notes: The problem of heat and solvent transfer from plasticized film is considered. The transport equations are solved by a numerical method. The formulation of the model includes the temperature dependence of diffusivity, the dependence of diffusivity on decreasing solvent concentration, as solvent leaves the film, and the latent heat of vaporization of the solvent. The Flory-Huggins theory is used as a model for vaporliquid equilibrium. Heat and mass transfer coefficients are taken either as constants (to simulate extrusion with blowing at the film surface) or from analytical solutions to the appropriate boundary layer equations (to simulate extrusion into a stationary medium.) The boundary layer theory takes into account the effect of rapid vaporization on heat and mass transfer coefficients. Several numerical solutions were obtained for cases corresponding to extrusion of polyvinylacetate, plasticized with acetone, extruded into air.

    Notes: A method is described for measuring the rate of water vapor transmission through thick sections of polyethylene used as insulation on electrical conductors of pure sodium metal. The technique could be generally useful for materials which do not react with sodium, and for cylindrical samples which can be filled with molten sodium in a dry box. For samples with uniform dimensions the results are extremely precise because sensitive electrical measurements are used. Specimens of products in final form can be employed to determine the effects of variations in processing.
