    Notes: Industrial film-blowing processes are characterized by large deformation rates, rapid changes of temperature and high stress levels. A pilot scale process was set up to simulate these variables. The pivotal element in modeling the process is a rheological constitutive equation which describes the fluid properties accurately over the entire range of conditions encountered; it was found that contributions to the stress in the material which arise out of the changing thermal history of a fluid element were a significant fraction of the total. When the deforming film is subjected to stretching but to little or no blowing, the axial stresses in the film are predicted excellently by the model under both isothermal and non-isothermal processing conditions. With rapid blowing and major deviations from uniaxial extension, the axial stresses are predicted less well, but still satisfactorily, under the conditions used. In no case are the circumferential stresses predicted accurately: i.e. unequal biaxial extensional deformations represent complications which have not been resolved.

    Notes: The curing process of an unsaturated polyester was followed by employing the dynamic spring analysis (DSA) technique attached to the Rheovibron viscoelastometer. The storage and loss moduli and the gel times of the resin with various concentrations of initiator (methyl ethyl ketone peroxide) were determined at several temperatures. The activation energy for the curing process studied was about 40 kJ/mol. Temperature effects on films partially cured below the ultimate glassy transition temperature (Tg) were studied similarly using the tensile mode on the Rheovibron from room temperature to 120°C. Two modulus peaks were observed upon heating and these were independent of precure conditions. The lower temperature peak was the result of continued curing and the higher temperature peak was attributed to the glassy relaxation of the cured product. The DSA technique were found to be useful for characterization of the curing process and the results showed good qualitative agreement with those obtained by tensile measurements using cast films when the shapes of the curves were compared.

    Notes: An investigation was conducted to establish property-morphology relationships in polymethylmethacrylate/polyvinylidenefluoride (PMMA/PVDF) blends. All blends were compounded in a twin-screw extruder and then processed by injection molding Mechanical properties of blends of various compositions were studied by dynamic mechanical and impact strength measurements. The presence of crystalline regions in blends was determined by Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC). Morphology of fracture surfaces of blends was studied by Spinning Electron Microscopy (SEM). PMMA/PVDF blends were found to form compatible mixtures over a wide range of blend composition. Changes in dynamic mechanical properties upon annealing were found to be a direct function of blond morphology. Electron microscopic evidence showed no signs of phase separation. DSC measurements detected crystalline regions in all blends containing 40 percent or more (by weight) PVDF.

    Notes: The limiting pressure-velocity (PV) of plastics materials under normal contacting pressure P and sliding velocity V when the sliding goes on continuously unlubricated has been discussed theoretically in this study. The sliding friction tests between the rotating edge of a hollow cylinder against a stationary metal surface were carried out in room air and when the metals were cooled with circulating water.The results obtained were as follows: The relation between PVmax and the critical temperature τbmax of the surface above which ordinary frictional conditions are not maintained may be represented by the following formula, \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$$ \begin{array}{*{20}c} {{\rm PV}_{max} = C(\tau _{bmax } - \tau _a)} & {(1)} \\ \end{array} $$\end{document} Where C = Hn/μk, and H is the mean total heat conductivity between materials and environment in cal/cm2. °C · s, n the area ratio of heat radiation surface to frictional surface, μ the kinetic frictional coefficient, k the thermal equivalent of frictional work in cal/kg · cm · s, and τa the cooling or environment temperature.The value of C ranges from 1 to 10 in cal/kg · cm s · °C, and the value of PVmax from 45 to 750 in kg/cm2 · cm/s under prevailing room temperature air cooling in this experiment, however, the value of C has been increased about 2.3 times as much as those values by circulating water of 2°C around the lower side of the test piece.

    Notes: The backward extrusion process was studied as a means of forming projections and ribs on flat sections of thermoplastic parts. The simplified, open-die axisymmetric and plane-strain extrusion cases were mainly considered. The results were applied to the development of a continuous solid-phase-forming process. Commercial-grade polycarbonate (PC), polypropylene (PP), and polystyrene (PS) were used in the investigation. The projection height and extrusion loads in the unconstrained extrusion were measured as a function of the initial temperature of the material, the load hold time, and geometric variables. Cold dies were used in the experiments, and the samples were kept below their melt temperatures. The dimensional recovery of the flange section of the formed samples was also measured as a function of the hold time for given initial temperature and geometric variables. The slab and the upper-bound methods-in plasticity analysis were used to theoretically derive the projection heights and forming loads. The degree of correlation between the predictions and the experimental results depended on the estimates used for the frictional factors at the interfaces between the deforming material and the dies.

    Notes: During many plastics processing methods, both conventional and novel, plastic powders or granules are subjected to pressure. The pressure transmissibility through the powder has an important effect on the success and efficiency of the process, and so it is desirable to be able to predict the pressure at any point from a knowledge of the applied pressure and the geometry of the system. To examine this pressure transmissibility effect, poly(vinylidene chloride) powder has been compacted in a metal die under different rates using either load or displacement control. It has been found that rate effects are particularly important for loading rates greater than 8 MPa/s and displacement rates greater than 7.5 mm/s. The ratio of transmitted pressure (P2) to applied pressure (P1) has been measured for a range of compact geometries, and it has been found that the ratio is approximately constant during the latter stages of the compaction process. Various laws for predicting the transmitted pressure have been studied, but it has been found that the simplest equation that agrees with the data is of the form \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$$ \frac{{P_2 }}{{P_1 }} = e^{- \alpha \mu ch/D} $$\end{document}

    Molecular weight distribution of polyethylene terephthalate in homogeneous, continuous-flow-stirred tank reactors (1982)

    Notes: Poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) formation in homogeneous, continuous-flow-stirred tank reactors (HCSTRs) operating at steady state has been simulated. The feed to the reactor is assumed to consist of the monomer bis-(hydroxyethyl) terephthalate and monofunctional compound (MF1) cetyl alcohol. The overall polymerization is assumed to consist of the polycondensation, reaction with monofunctional compounds, redistribution, and cyclization reactions. At a given time, the reaction mass consists of polyester molecules (Pn), polyester molecules with an ending of molecules of monofunctional compound (MFn), and cyclic polymers (Cn). A mass balance for each of these species in the reactor gives rise to a set of algebraic equations to be solved simultaneously. The MWD calculations show that the redistribution reaction plays a major role and cannot be ignored, This result is in contrast lo the observation for semi-batch reactors, for which redistribution becomes important when the cyclization reaction is included. For the same residence times of semi-batch and HCSTRs, the latter gives considerably lower-number average molecular weight, Nav, and polydispersity index, ρ. However, for the same conversions, the ρ for CSTR is higher. The concentration of the monofurctional compound, [MF1]0, in the feed and the reactor temperature both influence ρ, but the effect is small within the range studied.

    Notes: The Fluid-Lattice Theory (Ising Fluid), recently tested by Lacombe and Sanchez, has been modified by introducing the typical Flory's surface-to-volume ratio of the characteristic-segment of a polymeric liquid. This surface-to-volume ratio is not an adjustable parameter. It is obtained from Bondi's tabulations. The resulting new equation of state has three adjustable parameters per component and it represents a definite improvement for the fitting of P-V-T data for polymeric liquids. Extension to mixtures is not tested in this work but, in principle, it can be done by well-established methods.

    Capillary and slit flow behavior of concentrated solutions of a rod-like polymer (1982)

    Notes: This paper is concerned with the flow behavior of isotropic solutions of the rod-like polymer, poly(p-phenyleneterephthalamide) (PPT), in 100 percent sulfuric acid. Studies include entry flow visualization in a slit die and solution fracture, and die swell in capillaries and a slit die. It was observed that solutions of PPT exhibit nearly negligible die swell, a slip-stick type of fracture that disappears at high shear rates, and radial entry flow patterns similar to Newtonian fluids. Fracture was associated with the plateau in the shear stress vs shear rate curve. Because values of the wall shear stress (τw.) obtained from capillary measurements were in good agreement with those obtained from a cone-and-plate rheometer and values of the loss modulus (G″) obtained from small-strain dynamic oscillatory measurements, it is believed that the rheological properties lead to the flow instability. These results are in agreement with the predictions of a recent theory by Doi and Edwards for concentrated solutions of rod-like molecules. Data are also presented for a flexible chain polyamide, nylon 6,6, in 100 percent H2SO4 for the purpose of comparing the flow characteristics of rigid and flexible chain polymers.

    Notes: A number of commercially available polycarbonates, including formulations made flame retardant by two different modifications, have been exposed to conditions producing moderately rapid hydrolysis. Hydrolysis rates were calculated from molecular weight data determined by gel permeation chromatography and, in some cases, from melt flow rate data. The rates calculated by the two methods are in good agreement. In general, the standard formulations containing minimal additive packages are the most hydrolytically stable. Although one relatively new flame retardant polycarbonate demonstrates generally good resistance to hydrolysis, most of the flame retardant formulations appear to be quite susceptible to hydrolytic degradation. For these materials, hydrolysis under conditions encountered in use could cause significant decreases in impact strength within a few years.

    Notes: The crystallites of semicrystalline polymers formed at low temperatures are subject to partial partial melting and recrystallization resulting in a systematic increase in the size and perfection of the nascent crystallites. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and x-ray studies suggest that ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymers (EVOH), in particular, may undergo these secondary crystallization processes upon storage at temperatures far below Tm. DSC scans have been run on “as received” and quenched samples; the mole percent of vinyl alcohol in the copolymers studied was 0, 62, 70, 72, 82 and 100 percent. Tests on secondary crystallization kinetics, performed at different temperatures, further confirm the hypothesis of an increased degree of perfection (lamellar thickening) of the bulk crystallites achieved upon long term storage at temperature between Tg and Tm.

    Rheology of polymer blends: Simultaneous slippage and entrance pressure loss in the ethylene-propylene-diene (EPDM)/viton system (1982)

    Notes: Because the exact nature of the mechanism governing the marked viscosity reduction in the highly incompatible EPDM/“Viton” fluoroelastomer system is not fully understood, a study was undertaken to shed more light on the phenomenon. Interracial. Slippage in the blend has been suggested as the mechanism by which a substantial reduction in the melt viscosities of either component takes place upon addition of a small amount of the other, In the present investigation, a Mooney slip analysis demonstrated wall slippage in the EPDM/Viton system over the shear stress range of 40 kPa to 160 kPa. The capillary surface was examined for evidence of coating by the minor component of the blend (Viton), and 9-fold enrichment was found by elemental analysis. However, on no occasion was pure Viton found. In other experiments, the dynamic linear viscoelastic properties and the transient squeezing flow response of the blend were found to be no different from those of the neat elastomer. In addition, the slip velocity in a capillary (and consequently, the viscosity-lowering effect) was reduced by a factor of 2 to 3 in capillaries with a 90° included entrance angle. It is postulated that the reduction in the flow resistance for the blend is unique to the sharp-entry capillary geometry and results from removal of Viton from the melt in the recirculating flow at the entrance. This material then feeds along the capillary wall, disrupting the already tenuous adhesion of the elastomer to the metal surface.

    Notes: Two random commercial ethylene-propylene copolymers (EPM) with different ethylene content have been added to binary isotactic polypropylene (iPP)/high density polyethylene (HDPE) blends by melt mixing in a Brabender-like apparatus. Impact Izod tests and a morphological analysis on the fractured surfaces of broken specimens have been performed and discussed, in order to improve the deficiency in toughness of the binary HDPE/iPP mixtures. The results show that the impact performance of both homopolymers and HDPE/iPP binary blends is strongly improved by the addition of the EPM copolymers. Such an effect is related to the fact that the overall morphology, as well as the mechanism and mode of fracture, are greatly modified by the presence of such additives. The extent is dependent on factors such as the nature of the matrix (HDPE or iPP), the composition, and the chemical structure and/or the molecular mass of the added copolymer.

Also, a criterion for neglecting viscous generation is identified, The diagrams, based on the Lord and Williams model, refer to rectangular geometry and amorphous materials. A satisfactory comparison is obtained with literature data taken on polystyrene. A reasonable estimate of polyethylene injection pressure was obtained by roughly accounting for latent heat of crystallization through modified thermal diffusivity.

    Notes: The degree of dispersion of carbon black in rubber is known to be a determining factor in the physical properties of the composite. It is important, therefore, to have a reliable, quantitative technique for assessing carbon black dispersion. It has been known for some time that the degree of dispersion of carbon black is reflected in its electrical resistivity. A resistivity instrument, developed by B. Boonstra, has been redesigned and constructed for use in this study. Factors that influence resistivity (i.e., black type, volume loading, and mixing time) are examined. Physical property and dynamic mechanical measurements are made, and their relationship to black dispersion is investigated. Light microscopy is also used to evaluate dispersion, and these data are compared to the resistivity results.

    Notes: In recent years, there have been many papers published on the application of process control to plasticating extruders. Much of the literature concentrates on the more classical control techniques. However, recent research has studied the application of stochastic identification techniques for building transfer function models for the extruder. In particular, the relationship of screw speed to die pressure and temperature has been studied. In the present work, both step tests and pseudorandom binary sequence tests were used to study the process dynamics of a 38 mm Killion extruder having a Iength-to-diameter ratio of 24:1. This study concentrates on the regulation of the extruder pressure in the face of its inherent surging characteristics. Variations in the quality of the feed plastic were studied through pulse and step changes in input polymer composition. Significant control problems resulted from measurement noise, which appeared at the same frequency as the screw rotation speed. Various mathematical filters to reduce the effect of this noise on the control variables were studied.

    Notes: Poly([4-(methacryloyloxy) butyl]pentamethyldisiloxane), PMBPD, has been prepared for the first time. At the weight average molecular weight of 55,900, it is a clear, viscous liquid with a glass transition temperature, Tg, of 236K. Copolymers with methylmethacrylate have also been prepared. The homo-and copolymers, all of which have methacrylate backbones with pendant siloxane groups, were blended with poly(methyl-methacrylate), PMMA. Using the existence of a single Tg as a definition of miscibility, it was found that blends of either PMMA or PMBPD with random copolymers are miscible. However, in spite of a clear appearance, the blend of the two horriopolymers were found to have two distinct Tgs.

    Notes: We review the synthesis, morphology, and physical and mechanical properties of IFNs as well as the related pseudo-IPNs, in which only one of the polymers is crossliriked. Recent studies have shown that the degree of phase separation achieved in these materials is strongly dependent on the compatibility of blends of the linear polymer constituents of the IPN components as well as the kinetics of chain extension and the presence of grafting between component polymers. We illustrate this by a series of IPNs consisting of a polyurethane and an acrylic copolymer. The acrylic is a typical automotive enamel. An enhancement in properties results, which is dependent on the amount of grafting and the kinetics of polymerization. Also discussed are IPNs of a polyurethane and an epoxy, which exhibit a synergism in adhesive properties, and IPNs of a RIM polyurethane with several epoxies and unsaturated polyesters. In addition, also reported are the preliminary studies on the first successful preparation of a three-component IPN, consisting of a polyurethane, an epoxy, and an acrylic.

    Notes: The review of current knowledge of the composition dependence of polymer-blend processability and morphology shows that development of industrial blends requires use of a semiempirical approach, based on the particular rheological composition (PRC) concept. Selecting blend composition in the close proximity to PRC and employing factorial experiments for the mixing process allows the development of successful industrial polyethylene/polypropylene blends designed for film and blow-molding applications.

    Notes: A polyurethane consisting of a poly(propylene oxide) soft segment and a diphenylmethane diisocyanate - hydroquinone di-(b̃-hydroxyethyl) ether (HQEE) hard block has been characterized over the composition range of 30 to 60 percent hard block. The flexural modulus varied from 60 to 900 MPa over this composition range. The elongation was approximately 250 percent at the lower hard block contents but fell below 100 percent at 60 percent hard block. Differential scanning calorirnetric measurements showed that the crystallinity associated with the hard phase increased with increasing hard block content but decreased with increasing cure temperature. The heat sag was found to decrease with increasing hardblock and increase with increasing cure temperature. A material with properties comparable to current fascia materials had a significantly better heat sag resistance than a current RIM (reaction injection molding) polyurethane. The combination of the solid chain extender, HQEE, and a solid catalyst, zinc stearate, lowing it to be processed as a one-component resin having a pot life of greater than 8 h at 20°C al-injection molding machines. The one-component nature of the resin has made it possible to use a continuous in-line mexer and to reduce the amount of scrap by using cold runner molds. In addition, any scrap that is generated can be used as regrind in the system.

    Notes: The presence of polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) can greatly affect the properties of materials made by polymerization of ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDM). Fracture surfaces, examined by scanning electron microscopy, show a much wider range of morphologies in mist regions than observed in previous work on PEGDM alone. These morphologies are attributed to the moderation of brittle fracture by localized plastic deformation. It is suggested that the effect of PMMA is due to its segregation around clusters of highly cross-linked particles of PEGDM that, as a result, become more discrete and, hence, more susceptible to interparticle displacements during fracture. In agreement With this suggestion, the mist regions usually exhibit a particulate microstructure.

    Notes: The fracture toughness of an epoxy resin system, diglycidyl ether of butanediol, DGEB, cured with 4-4′ diaminodiphenyl sulphone, DDS, has been studied by varying the crosslinking density and state of aging. A stable, but rough, crack propagation was observed with specimens that were 99 percent cured and quenched. When the extent of curing was less than 99 percent or the material was aged for more than 20 min at 62°C, crack propagation was of the unstable stick-slip nature. Aging was found to decrease the initiation fracture toughness dramatically, but the arrest fracture toughness was almost unchanged. This result was associated with a change of relaxation strength of the primary, a, transition with aging. An increase of crosslinking density was found initially to reduce the fracture toughness of this epoxy resin, but the fracture toughness increased after 87 percent of curing. The initial decrease of the fracture toughness was attributed to a decrease of relaxation strength of the primary transition (i.e., the area under the α-relaxation peak), while the increase of the fracture toughness after 87 percent curing was explained by the onset of the stablerough crack propagation, Micrographs taken by scanning electron microscopy-showed possible existence of blunting during crack propagation and a decrease of blunting with the extent of aging.

    Notes: Water-ground Phlogopite micas were classified into narrow particle-size distributions containing flakes with well-defined diameters and thicknesses in order to evaluate the influence of particle size and flake aspect ratio on the mechanical properties of mica-filled polypropylenes, For the purposes of comparison, most of the injection-molded specimens contained 40 percent (by weight) mica. As expected, the flexural and tensile modulus values increased in proportion to the aspect ratio over the range from 30 to 60 to a maximum of 8 GPa. The measured tensile strengths of the mica-filled polypropylenes increased substantially as the flake diameter became smaller, but did not correlate with the flake aspect ratio. The attainable properties were frequently dependent upon the method of mixing, and considerable care was necessary to ensure proper dispersion and adequate coupling. Intensive mixing, as in a Gelimat Mixer, may cause in situ delamination and particle-size reduction of the mica filler particles, leading to a marked increase in tensile strength of the resulting composite. The mica-filled compounds could be reprocessed many times without significant loss of properties, particularly compounds having mica particles less than 40 μm in diameter. The fracture energies (notched Izod) and the heat-distortion temperatures were not appreciably influenced by the size or aspect ratios of the mica within this range. Increased fracture toughness could be achieved by reducing the mica concentration or employing a polypropylene copolymer. Guidelines are presented to indicate the preferred characteristics of mica fillers and the influence of mixing conditions on performance.

    Notes: A mathematical model has been developed to compute the molecular weight distribution (MWD) in the polyethylene terephthalate (PET) manufacturing process. Unlike the previous efforts, this model takes into account the influence of side reactions and various interchange reactions on MWD. The process of blending of molten polyester chips has also been simulated with a view to calculate the equilibrium MWD as well as the time required to reach the equilibrium MWD. The1 significance of the results has been discussed in terms of industrial operations involving PET polymerization and PET blending.

This hydrolysis route proved to be more effective than Ce(IV)-induced cografting of acrylamide and sodium acrylate comonomers onto dextran in producing the desired graft-copolymer structures. The resulting copolymers were characterized and the effects of composition, temperature, ionic strength, and shear rate on dilute solution rheological properties were studied.

    Notes: The formation of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) has been modeled to have reactions with monofunctional compounds, redistribution, and cyclization reactions in addition to the usual polycondensation step. In the final stages, the overall polymerization is mass-transfer controlled and solution of the reactor performance equations have been determined through the orthogonal collocation technique. This technique is found to be considerably more efficient for PET reactors compared to the finite difference method; the use of ten collocation points gives results which are close to the exact solution.

    Notes: This review focuses on a new type of para-catenated aromatic polymer being used in the preparation of high-performance films and fibers of exceptional strength, thermal stability, and environmental resistance, including inertness to essentially all common solvents. Polymers of this type include cis and transpoly(p-phenylene benzobisoxazole) (PBO), and the cis and trans forms of the corresponding poly(p-phenylene benzobis-thiazole)(PBT). The purpose of this paper is to summarize the authors' theoretical work on the structures, conformational energies, intermolecular interactions, and electronic properties of PBO and PBT chains, including the protonated forms known to exist in strong acids. The emphasis is on how such studies provide a molecular understanding of the unusual properties and processing characteristics of this new class of materials.

    Notes: Poly(p-phenylene terephthalamide) (PPD-T) films have been prepared by continuous extrusion of liquid crystalline 17 percent PPD-T/sulphuric acid solutions through an annular die followed by coagulation, Films extruded without drawdown exhibit some polymer chain orientation in the machine direction. This is increased by uniaxially drawing down films. Films produced with a lubricated conical mandrel sitting between the die and the coagulation bath exhibit an equal biaxial orientation. The uniaxially oriented films exhibit highly anisotropic mechanical properties, while the mandrel-produced film exhibits balanced properties. Heat treatment at 350°C results in significant enhancement of the tensile strength of the mandrel film. Void structures in the films have been investigated by mass density, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS). Density measurement indicate a void content decreasing with decreasing film thickness and heat treatment. SEM locates micron-size voids in the thickest films, apparently caused by rapid coagulation. SAXS indicates much smaller void sixes which are roughly prolate ellipsoids (long axis in machine direction) for uniaxial films and oblate ellipsoids (short axis in thickness direction) for the mandrel produced films. Various techniques are used to estimate mean void size.

    Notes: Poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) and its blends with polybutadiene-acrylonitrile (NBR) (containing 21.7 weight-percent acrylonitrile (AN), a heterogeneous two-phase system; and containing 41.6 weight-percent of AN, a homogeneous one-phase system) and with polyethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) (containing 45 weight-percent of vinyl acetate (VA), a heterogenous two-phase system; and containing 65 weight-percent VA, a homogeneous one-phase system) were UV-irradiated (at 3500 Å UV-light (solar spectrum)). After UV irradiation the kinetics measurements were made of the formation of hydroperoxy (OOH) and carbonyl (CO) groups and the changes of mechanical properties: tensile strength, elongation to break, and impact energy. As a result of the photooxidative degradation of PVC blends, decreases of mechanical properties were observed. The effects are more severe in PVC/NBR blends, which contain unsaturated bonds (polybutadiene segments) than in the case of PVC/EVA. The phase structure plays an evident role on the UV degradation only of PVC/NBR blends. The photostability of PVC blends can be slightly improved by introducing Tinuvin P or Ni-chelates photostabilizers.

    Notes: An investigation was carried out in order to study the effect of prestrain on the subsequent crystallization of a specific copolyester based on lactic and glycolic acid. This polymer, which can be easily quenched into an amorphous glass, has a Tg of 43°C and when in crystalline form has a melting point of 210°C. Using amorphous films, samples were prestrained to various levels at temperatures not far above Tg. In some cases films were immediately quenched at the prestrain level so as to retain the elongation while others were allowed to immediately retract whereby they showed a relatively small degree of permanent Set. Utilizing birefringence, quenched samples whose initial elongation was maintained showed linear behavior with prestrain while those that retracted showed essentially zero birefringence until a prestrain of about 150 percent after which a small degree of positive birefringence resulted. Wide angle x-ray diffraction (WAXS) showed no signs of crystallinity in all cases. These same films were then quickly taken to 150°C and rapidly crystallized. Again, one series of the prestrained samples were in the elongated state during crystallization whereas the second series was unrestrained during crystallization. Using microscopy and small angle light scattering (SALS), the morphological textures of these crystallized films were investigated. In all cases, spherulitic textures were observed of equivalent size up to a value of about 200 percent elongation the spherulite size systematically decreased with the prestrain an increase in clearly showing that prestrain had a pronounced effect upon the nucleation density. Increasing draw rate displayed a similar effect on nucleation density. Since spherulite size was noted to be the same in either series, it indicated that nucleation was induced as a result of the prestrain and remained irrelevant of whether the sample was allowed to relax or not. The morphology above the transitional state was similar to row structure common to polymers crystallized in the oriented state. WAXS and birefringence was applied to the crystallized materials and it was found that up until the transitional zone, no crystal orientation was observed in either series indicating that although nucleation density was strongly affected up until that point, no orientation was retained within the sample upon crystallization. A simplified model is used to explain the observed results.

    Notes: A method based on network theory is developed for characterizing molecular orientation in amorphous polymers. The proposed procedure gives not only the orientation distribution function for the chain segments in the polymer network (and hence the average orientation) but also a quantitative measure of how this orientation is distributed among the various types of entanglement junctions. The orientation of chain segments can be characterized by two parameters, one which gives the average orientation and another which reflects how much orientation is concentrated in long time entanglement junctions. The new method of characterizing orientation is used to interpret tensile strength data for both brittle and ductile failures.

    Notes: A study of the crystalline orientation, light transmission, and surface roughness of polyethylene tubular film prepared in our laboratories is presented. The present studies were primarily carried out on low-density (LDPE) and linear-low-density (LLDPE) polyethylene films. The optical properties of a few films of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) prepared for a previous study of morphology were characterized for comparison to the LDPE and LLDPE films. Wide angle X-ray diffraction and birefringence were used to characterize orientation. Both the LDPE and LLDPE films exhibited crystalline texture in which the b-axes tended to be perpendicular to the film surface and the a-axes had some tendency to align with the machine direction. The c-axes tended to be concentrated in the plane of the film with nearly equal biaxial orientation with respect to the machine and transverse directions. Little variation in the crystalline orientation was found with changes of process conditions in the range studied. Birefringence results indicate that the amorphous regions developed an orientation in which the chains tend to be normal to the film surface. The majority of light scattering from these films and a series of HDPE films was from the surface and not from the film interior. The transmission coefficient for the surface contribution was found to be a monotonic decreasing function of the standard deviation of the surface height obtained from surface profiles measured by profilometer. The surface asperites were largest for the HDPE and smallest for the LDPE samples. The intensity of both the surface and interior contributions to the scattering increased with increasing frostline height, i.e., a slower cooling rate. As draw-down ratio and blow-up ratio increase the scattering contribution from the film interior decreases but the contribution from the surface increases somewhat. These effects are discussed in terms of the changes in crystalline morphology and surface roughness produced by flow defects generated during extrusion.

    Notes: The two major problems encountered in industrial liquid-phase addition polymerization are: the heat released by highly exothermic reactions and the great increase in viscosity with conversion. The high rate or heat generation, coupled with the low thermal diffusivity of the reacting system, often lead to thermal runaway. Even with the process kept under marginal control, large temperature variations broaden the product molecular-weight distribution. Temperature control is particularly difficult in the Trommsdorff region, where reaction rate rapidly increases as temperature rises and viscosity builds up. A two-stage process is developed in this work to attack these problems and to achieve continuous operation of poly(methyl methacrylate) bulk polymerization. This process utilizes a continuous stirred-tank reactor (CSTR) as a first-stage prepolymerizer and a spray tower as the second-stage finishing reactor. Use of a CSTR offers good temperature control and product uniformity during the early stages of reaction and eases delivery of the reacting system to the second stage at the desired conversion and molecular-weight level. Spraying the partially polymerized mixture into the tower as fine droplets prior to the onset of gel effect eliminates the problems of transporting, agitating, and mixing a reacting system with a rapidly increasing viscosity. Heat of reaction is efficiently removed by a countercurrent stream of nitrogen in the tower, in direct contact with the falling droplets. The high surface-to-volume ratio of these small droplets facilitates heat transfer, and the problem of heat buildup can be efficiently controlled. Products from the bottom of the tower can then be melt-processed by conventional methods, such as extrusion. Experiments performed in the laboratory have demonstrated the feasibility of this proposed concept. Process optimization was in no way achieved due to serious space and equipment limitations. The process was thus further examined by computer simulation and model parameter sensitivity study. A practical design was recommended based on the model predictions.

    Notes: An experimental study was conducted on the injection molding of a thermosetting polyester resin. For the study, a general-purpose unsaturated polyester resin was used, with benzoyl peroxide as initiator. A differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) was used for studying the curing kinetics, under isothermal curing conditions. A plunger-type injection-molding apparatus was constructed, and a rectangular mold cavity with glass windows on both sides was constructed, which permitted us to record on a film the changes in stress birefringence patterns in the mold cavity during the molding operation (i.e., during the isothermal cure, post cure, and subsequent cooling), using a crossed circular polariscope. The injection-molded specimens were used to determine the distribution of the degree of cure at various positions in the flow direction, and to relate the degree of cure to the dynamic mechanical properties.

    Notes: Standard test specimens of mortar were cured under water for 15 days to achieve satisfactory strength. They were dried without allowing dehydration reactions to occur, evacuated to 40 millimeters (mm) Hg, and impregnated with a styreneacrylonitrile comonomer, which gives the highest strength after polymerization. Positive pressure of 0.6 N/mm2 was applied and thermal catalytic polymerization was carried out. Optimum initiator concentration was found to be 2 percent. Strength (compressive and tensile) increases with polymerization temperature up to 120°C, above which rapid deterioration occurs due to monomer loss, production of short chains with high polymerization rates, and the possibility of polymer degradation at high temperature. Optimum polymerization period of' 10 hours was selected. Inexpensive methods for field polymerization were tried at 95°C. Hot water yields a strength more than double that obtained with a, flow of hot air and about 80 percent of that obtained radiolytically. While hot air accelerates evaporation, hot water forms a hydraulic head above the capillaries and decreases the monomer losses tremendously.

    Notes: The absorption of water vapor by propellants based on hydroxy-terminated polybutadiene and an isocyanate from atmospheres of increasing relative humidities, and the swelling index of the propellant which had absorbed various proportions of water, were measured in an attempt to establish the extent of hydrolytic damage. The method was found incapable of assessing such damage, but it was shown that there was no measurable absorption of vapor below 92 percent relative humidity (RH). The MEK/polymer and toluene/polymer interaction parameters were determined.

    Notes: This paper discusses some new mechanical and small angle neutron scattering (SANS) data on glassy polymers, both thermoplastics and thermoset resins, from the point of view of dislocation-like defects introduced in the molecular chain arrangement by deformation. In the pre-yield stage, a new parameter, the work-hardening rate K is introduced and its measurement is defined. Experiments are reported which show that K can be used as a very sensitive probe for microstructural changes during physical aging or curing. In one hand, the theory of yielding is revisited to make clear how dislocations and their propagation in polymers depend on specific features like entanglements and chain stiffness. On this basis, experimental internal stresses and activation volumes at yield (i.e., the temperature slope of yield stress) are accounted for. On the other hand, SANS data provide us with experimental evidence at the scale of 10 to 20 Å of the dislocation nature of the molecular “shear defects” introduced in the polymer by deformation. Finally, temperature is known to have a pronounced influence on yield processes. It is shown that two distinct deformation modes exist below and above a critical temperature Tc. Above Tc, a dislocation climb, which probably involves β-processes, gives rise to a “diffusional” deformation mode where chains within a (diffuse) shear band are no longer oriented. A tentative formalization of this behavior, and its relation to the small strain creep of polymers, are then presented.

    Notes: The deformation behavior of three polymers, polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA), and linear polyethylene (LPE) is considered in terms of two key factors, the stretching of a molecular network and the influence of thermally activated processes. In PET the observation of a natural draw ratio leads to studies of shrinkage, shrinkage force, and optical birefringence to define the nature of the network. The network is further exemplified by measurements of the molecular reorientation in deformation bands, spectroscopic studies of molecular orientation in drawing, and the concept of a true stress-strain curve. Yield and plastic deformation are also to be considered as thermally activated processes, but it appears that a major part of the flow stress is associated with the stretching of the molecular network. In PMMA the concept of a true stress strain curve also appears to be valuable, but the possibility of network breakdown during deformation has to be admitted as an extra complexity. In LPE the concept of a molecular network embracing both crystalline and non-crystalline material is helpful in understanding the drawing behavior. There is also direct evidence for the existence of a network from measurements of shrinkage and shrinkage force, and the existence of a true-stress strain curve. However, the dominant contribution to the flow stress now appears to come from thermally activated processes, with a key contribution from a small activation volume process which is tentatively associated with slip in the crystalline regions.

    Notes: Internal friction has been measured by torsion at 1 Hz during tensile tests performed on glassy polycarbonate at room-temperature. Steady-state flow and transient effects have been studied during continuous tensile tests and strain-rate changes. During steady-state, internal friction and flow-stress vary in a similar way with strain-rate. But during transients, internal friction varies continuously while flow-stress passes through a maximum (or a minimum). These results are interpreted assuming that non-elastic deformation of glassy polymers requires some microscopic discontinuous processes such as motion of defects. Two parameters are considered: the velocity v and the density ρ of mobile defects. Assuming that the former is directly related to the flow stress, it has been shown that internal friction is related to the density of mobile defects ρ. This feature is used to interpret the different stages of a tensile test curve. Activation volumes for both velocity and density of mobile defects are calculated from experimental data.

    Notes: The molecular kinetic theory near the glass transition, bused on the existence of free volume distribution, is extended to incorporate the effects of stress and stress rate. The fundamental equations for the volume relaxation and recovery in stressed amorphous polymers are derived in accordance with the balance of nonequilibrium statistical entropy. Using these kinetic equations, an earlier nonequilibrium criterion for the glass transition temperature, Tg, is generalized to include the effects of stress and stress rate. In contrast to the prevalent thinking toward free volume theories, an explicit expression between Tg and stress is developed and reveals that Tg does not continue to increase at all pressures but levels off to a “universal” asymptote at very high pressure (〉10 K bars). The expression is applicable to any tension and compression stress conditions. A comparison between theory and experiment under constant stresses determines the activation volume tensor which reveals the molecular mechanism relating Tg and the plastic yield of glassy polymers.

    Notes: A commercial polyarylate (PAr), a copolyester of Bisphenol-A with 50 percent terephthalate-50 percent isophthalate, has been characterized by means of a combination of gel permeation chromatography and viscometry. It has been studied as first component of a series of polymer blends. The presence of either one glass transition temperature (Tg) or two has been used as a criterion to determine the miscibility of each blend. In some cases, the possible incidence of transesterification reactions has been considered.

    Notes: The residence time distribution (RTD) in a fully intermeshing, corotating twin screw extruder was determined with a stimulus-response technique. In addition to varying three process parameters (i.e. throughput, screw rotational speed, and barrel temperature), two screw configurations were also studied: one containing four kneading block mixing sections, and the other consisting only of regular screw bushings. Although screw configuration was an important variable, it was found that for both configurations the throughput had the largest effect on RTD. The screw rotational speed was second in importance, and the barrel temperature change produced no effect.A fluid mechanical model based on the fluid flow in a partially-filled rectangular channel was used to explain the experimentally observed dependence of RTD on the process parameters. Reaction engineering approaches were adopted to compare the RTD results of two screw configurations with two idealized flows.

    Notes: Some aspects of injection-molding dynamics were studied using a laboratory injection-molding machine operated under the control of a microprocessor-based servocontrol system. Two types of experiments were performed: deterministic tests which introduced step changes in the servovalve opening and stochastic tests using pseudo-random binary sequence (PRBS) perturbations of the servovalve. Deterministic models were written for the hydraulic and nozzle pressures which were in good agreement with the experimental data. A stochastic transfer function-noise model was obtained for the nozzle pressure, but an adequate model was not found for the hydraulic pressure. The agreement between the nozzle pressure stochastic model and the corresponding step test model was satisfactory.

    Notes: A general-purpose finite element program has been used to simulate the flow of Newtonian, power-law, and viscoelastic fluids in the entry and exit regions of a slit die. It was found that shear-thinning increases the entrance correction while it decreases the exit correction. Shear-thinning reduces the size of the small corner vortex that forms in the entry flow of a Newtonian fluid. The swelling ratio had a value of 1.196 for Newtonian fluids and decreased as the value of the power-law index decreased. Viscoelastic calculations were performed using the Criminale-Ericksen-Filbey (CEF) constitutive equation. Convergence of the iterative scheme was unattainable for Deborah numbers above 1.0. The results showed a decrease of the entrance correction and an increase of the exit correction with elasticity. Extrudate swell first decreased slightly and further increased with the Deborah number.

    Notes: As crazes grow in areal extent they also increase in width. The areal growth involves craze tip advance which has been shown to occur by the Taylor meniscus instability. Craze widening, at least for air crazes, occurs by drawing more fibrillar material from the craze-bulk polymer interfaces at essentially constant extension ratio. Simple arguments will be given to predict the scale of the fibrillation in terms of the stress S at the craze tip and interfaces and an effective polymer surface energy (Γ) where:\documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$$ {\Gamma = \gamma + {\raise0.5ex\hbox{$\scriptstyle 1$}\kern-0.1em/\kern-0.15em\lower0.25ex\hbox{$\scriptstyle 4$}}d \cdot v_E U_b} $$\end{document} which assumes that all entangled chain crossing the surface are broken [γ represents the van-der-Waals (intermolecular) surface energy, d is the entanglement mesh size, vE is the entanglement density, and Ub is the energy required to break a single backbone bond]. These arguments also give the rate of fibrillation as a function of S, a nominal plastic resistance σy and Γ and can explain the fact that the stress for crazing increases relative to that for shear deformation as the entanglement density of the polymer is increased. The geometrically necessary entanglement loss (either by scission as assumed above or by disentanglement- at temperatures just below Tg) that accompanies fibril formation has important consequences for fibril stability. The probability p that a given entangled chain is lost can be computed from simple geometrical considerations knowing the fibril diameter D, its extension ratio λ and the mesh size d; p increases rapidly as Dλ½ becomes comparable to or less than d. These concepts can be tested in blends of high molecular weight polymer with chains of the same polymer that are too short to entangle.

    Notes: A mathematical simulation of the blow-molding cycle has been developed by combining general conservation principles along with appropriate constitutive relations for the material. A model of the parison formation stage has been devised by considering the competing effects due to swell and drawdown. A more rigorous numerical analysis of parison formation is also discussed. A theoretical treatment of parison inflation is described for both inelastic and viscoelastic materials by assuming uniform radial growth, Comparisons are made with experimental data for all phases of the molding cycle. The mathematical model is in reasonable quantitative agreement with experimental results and is capable of elucidating the influence of material properties and process conditions on the dynamics and performance of the blow-molding process.

    13C NMR characterization of intermolecular interactions for polymers. Part 3. Solvent effect on the blend compatibility of poly(vinyl methyl ether) and polystyrene (1982)

    Notes: The solvent has an influence on the homogeneity of the poly(vinyl methyl ether)-polystyrene, PVME-PS blends Prepared by drying cosolutions. This influence has been analyzed in terms of the competition among polymer-polymer and polymer-solvent interactions. Model solutions have been prepared in which intermoleeular interactions correspond to the interactions in this blend and in some of the cosolutions. These interactions in the model solutions have been detected and identified by applying Rummens' method. The 13C NMR spectra have been determined for PVME and for styrene oligomer dissolved in n-alkanes, cyclohexane, diethyl ether, isopropyl methyl ether, diisopropyl ether, and chloroform, and for PVME dissolved in benzene, toluene, and cumene. The chemical shifts have been plotted against the parameter g2 = [(n22 - 1)/(n22 + 1)]2, where n2 is the refractive index of the solvent. If the structural segment represented by certain carbon and some solvent has an interaction that is stronger than dispersive, the chemical shift for this carbon will deviate from the line formed by its shifts in n-alkane solutions, these deviations indicate characters and intensities of the intermoleeular interactions. Results indicate that cyclohexane exhibits weak interactions with both of the polymers and does not interfere with their mutual interaction, leading to a compatible blend. Results also suggest that benzene and toluene interact in the PVME in the same manner as PS. This leads to a gradual increase of the number of polymer-polymer interactions as the concentration of the polymers is increased by solvent removal, resulting in a compatible blend. Chloroform apparently interacts more strongly with PVME than with PS but interacts strongly enough with both to restrict interaction among the two polymers. As the concentration of polymers in the cosolution is increased, PS forms a separate phase. This leads to an inhomogeneous blend when the solvent is evaporated.

    Notes: A testing method using the Rheometrics Mechanical Spectrometer as the loading instrument to measure the fracture toughness KQ, which is related to a specific sample geometry and dimensions (half-inch compact tension) is reported. The small sample size requirement makes it attractive to do fracture toughness testing on newly synthesized material for preliminary material study and comparison purposes. Commercially available epoxy resins were used to check the procedure at different temperatures (-150° to 250°C). An empirical crack length averaging method was used that appears to give constant KQ values independent of the a/W ratio values. The fracture surfaces were studied using scanning electron microscopy.

    Notes: The relaxation behavior of several epoxy resin systems, which have systematic structural differences, has been studied by the thermally stimulated discharge (TSD) technique. Two TSD peaks centered at about 115°K (β peak) and 185°K (β peak) were found for epoxy resins cured with a diamine. Structural change, either in the epoxy resin molecule or the amine molecule, did not seem to affect those two peaks. The TSD thermogram of the DGEBA (diglycidyl ether of disphenol A) epoxy resin part only showed a small new peak at 160°K instead of the ft peak at 185°K. This result, together with the fact that postcuring increased β peak height, leads to the conclusion that the ft peak is most likely due to the newly-created molecular segment during the curing reaction. The peak at 160°K was assigned to the epoxy group. This assignment was based on the fact that the 160°K peak of an epoxy homopolymer, which has fewer epoxy groups, was smaller than that of the parent DGEBA. The β and γ peaks were found to be of distributed characteristics, and the distribution of activation energy was studied by the partial heating method.

    Notes: Critical strains causing environmental stress cracking of injection-molded poly(acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene) (ABS) and poly(styrene-acrylonitrile) (SAN) plaques were determined upon exposure to methanol. Measurements were obtained for samples strained either parallel or perpendicular to the melt flow direction and for samples located at various distances from the mold gate. Critical strains were significantly higher in the direction parallel to the melt flow compared to the transverse direction. The degree of anisotropy increased with increasing rubber content. For ABS containing 46 percent rubber, the critical strain at one point was determined to be 2.99 percent in the direction of melt flow, but only 0.47 percent in the orthogonal direction. For this material, critical strains determined parallel to the melt flow decreased with distance from the gate; whereas, critical strains for SAN and ABS containing 30 percent rubber remained essentially constant. Orientation of the plaques was assessed using shrinkage determinations and a thermal conductivity technique. Though a straightforward correlation of orientation with critical strain is observed for ABS, a similar relationship is not observed for SAN. These results suggest that although stress cracking occurs in the glassy matrix of ABS, it is the dispersed rubbery phase which controls the magnitude of strain required to initiate cracking.

    Notes: A basic study of the kinematics, dynamics, and heat transfer occuring during tubular film extrusion of polyethylene is outlined. Three rheologically characterized polyethylenes, a low-density polyethylene (LDPE), a linear-low-density polyethylene (L-LDPE), and a high-density polyethylene (HDPE) were used in this study. The kinematics and stability of the tubular film process were investigated over a wide range of blow-up ratios, drawdown ratios, and frost-line heights. Local deformation rates along the bubble have been determined. Regions of stability and instability are described. Tensions and inflation pressures have been measured and expressed in terms of locol elongational viscosities. Temperature profiles along the bubble were determined and interpreted in terms of local heat transfer coefficients. Positions of crystallization and temperature profiles have been noted and used to estimate rates of crystallization. The characteristics of the LDPE, LLDPE, and HDPE are contrasted.

    Notes: A mathematical analysis of bubble growth in an expanding foam is presented. The analysis is based on a cell model whereby the foam is divided into spherical microscopic unit cells of equal and constant mass, each consisting of a liquid envelope (or shell) and a concentric spherical gas bubble. Expansion occurs by diffusion of a dissolved gas from the supersaturated envelope into the bubble. This cell model is capable of describing important qualitative features of a real system of numerous bubbles growing in close proximity to one another, and is intended as the building block of a global analysis of macroscopic foam expansion. The coupled algebraic and differential equations governing the growth of a cell are derived and solved numerically. Five dimensionless parameters are identified for the case of constant temperature and pressure outside the cell, and their effects are demonstrated through computer simulations of the system. Of these parameters, surface tension and initial radius prove to be of relatively little importance in the practical cases considered. The other parameters are the thermodynamic driving force, the cell mass (inversely proportional to the number density of bubbles), and the ratio of characteristic times for mass and momentum transport.

    Notes: This paper outlines the development of an acoustical technique for measuring the dispersion of an additive in a polymer melt. It included a justification of the use of sound over other interrogating methods and an analysis of the acoustical system's operation. Results for dispersions of liquid or solid additives were shown. It was demonstrated that this system could detect the presence or absence of large particles in melts filled with small particles.

    Notes: We discuss the free-energy expressions for homogeneous melts and their blends, based on our hole theory. Equation of state (PVT) and free energy of mixing (ΔGm) are considered from a common point of view without the introduction of additional parameters to pass from the first to the second set of properties. Practical problems arise from the fact that ΔGm represents a difference between large quantities. As illustrations we analyze two typical systems. One is the n - C6 + n - C16 pair where PVT and ΔGm, the latter at atmospheric pressure only, have been studied experimentally. The other is n - C6 with a low and high molecular weight respectively of polyethylene as solute. Here the PVT relations of the components only are known. The effects of intercomponent attractions, temperature, pressure, and molecular weight on phase behavior are investigated. Critical coordinates, lower critical-solution temperatures (LCST) and their pressure dependence are computed. An iso-free volume condition obtains for this dependence where free volume is defined by the hole fraction inherent in the theory. Comparisons with experimental observations and other theoretical computations for different molecular weights are limited by the effect of polydispersity. Moreover, cloud point curves are shown. We finally compute the composition and pressure dependence of the χ-parameter which is implicit in the theory. We conclude with some comments regarding polymer blends.

    Notes: Blends of polycarbonate/polystyrene (PC/PS), polycarbonate/polypropylene (PC/PP) and ternary blends of the three components (PC/PS/PP) were studied. Extrudate swell of the molten blends increased with increasing concentrations of the minor components and leveled off at characteristic blend compositions. These compositions corresponded to the limits of compatibility as judged by the onset of brittleness in tensile tests. Both PS and PP appear to have some limited practical compatibility with PC. The change in extrudate swell behavior with concentration may be a rapid and convenient test for the effective concentration limits of partially miscible polymers.

    Notes: An experimental study of the development of phase morphology in incompatible polymer melt blends of polyethylene/polystyrene (PE/PS), polyethylene/polycarbonate (PE/PC), and polyethylene/nylon-6 (PE/N6) is presented. Different temperatures (180°C, 240°C) of mixing and polyethylene molecular- weight levels were used in the PE/PS studies. Little variation in the cross-sectional phase morphology of the PE/PS extrudates was observed with these variables, though the morphology became finer with increased shear rate/stress in capillary die flow. Variations in the longitudinal morphology are observed with continuous filaments of dispersed phase only arising when the dispersed phase has an equal or lower viscosity than the continuous phase. The PE/N6 and PE/PC, especially the former, give coarser morphologies when the N6 and PC are the continuous phases. This was attributed to larger inter-facial tensions. The effect of viscoelasticity was also discussed.

    Notes: Kevlar 29 fiber has been widely considered for the manufacture of very-long high-performance cables. Due to low transverse strength fiber-on-fiber rubbing leads to rapid deterioration. The usefulness of impregnating Kevlar 29 braids with resin to overcome this drawback has been evaluated by performing reverse bending fatigue tests. Braids of identical construction, one of them being impregnated with a polyurethane resin by a patented process, were fatigued to failure on a purpose-built rig under varying applied loads. Fatigue tests were also carried out to 30 percent and 50 percent of total braid life and residual strength values measured. It was found that high applied loads (∼50 percent of ultimate) lead to premature braid failure dominated by a creep mechanism. Both braids showed similar behavior, although the impregnated braid was superior. At low applied loads, however, where the failure mechanisms was dominated by wear or internal abrasion, it was seen that resin impregnation could increase braid life by a factor of four. Resin impregnation coupled with bending fatigue significantly stiffens braids, as was demonstrated by tensile testing up to braid failure.

    Notes: In this article the kinetics of chemical-controlled radical-chain copolymerization have been reduced to pseudohomopolymerization kinetics by introducing the apparent rate constants, The methods for the determinations of the values of the apparent rate constants, mode of termination, and the methods for the calculation of molecular weights and distributions are proposed. The data required for these determinations and calculations are simply obtained by the usual steady-state method. According to the traditional kinetics along with the definitions of the apparent rate constants, these apparent rate constants as functions of traditional rate constants, monomer compositions, and copolymer compositions are derived. Further utilizing the theoretical expressions obtained, we show that the apparent rate constants are the general rate constants for both radical chain homo- and copolymerizations. The bulk radical copolymerizations of methyl methacrylate and styrene at various monomer feed compositions at 60°C are used to test the proposed model. The empirical apparent rate constants obtained are described well, by the following expressions, \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$$ \beta = 0.997{\rm }F_1 + 0.398{\rm }F_2 + 0.039\left({F_1 F_2 } \right)^{\frac{1}{2}} $$\end{document} and \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$$ {{k_t^a } \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {{k_t^a} {\left({k_p^a} \right)}}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {\left({k_p^a } \right)}}^2 = - 0.138 \times 10^4 \left({{{F_1 } \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {{F_1 } {f_1 }}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {f_1 }}} \right)^2 + 0.354 \times 10^4 \left({{{F_1 F_2 } \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {{F_1 F_2 } {f_1 f_2 }}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {f_1 f_2 }}} \right) - 0.114 \times 10^4 \left({{{F_2 } \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {{F_2 } {f_2 }}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {f_2 }}} \right)^2 $$\end{document} and the mode of termination on the combination termination is \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$$ {1 \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {1 {{\rm k}_p^a = - 0.132}}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {{\rm k}_p^a = - 0.132}} \times 10^{ - 2} \left({{{F_1 } \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {{F_1 } {f_1 }}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {f_1 }}} \right) + 0.428 \times 10^{ - 2} \left({{{F_2 } \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {{F_2 } {f_2 }}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {f_2 }}} \right) $$\end{document} where Kaa and Kta denote the apparent rate constants of propagation and termination, respectively. The term f1(= 1 - f2) stands for the mole fraction of styrene in the monomer solution fed. F1 is the copolymer composition produced at f1. β is the mode of termination.

    Notes: The modification of an amorphous random ethylene-propylene rubbery copolymer (EPM) has been accomplished by solution grafting of maleic anhydride molecules promoted by radical initiators, The resulting EPM-g-succinic anhydride (EPM-g-SA) and EPM have been used to obtain binary polyamide 6/EPM or polyamide 6/EPM-g-SA and ternary polyamide 6/EPM/EPM-g-SA blends by melt mixing. The formation of an EPM-g-PA6 graft copolymer during the blend preparation has been assumed. Different blend morphologies were observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) according to the nature and content of the rubber used. The tensile mechanical properties and the impact behavior of the prepared blends were investigated and correlated with the SEM analysis of the fracture surfaces. Binary and ternary blends containing 20 percent by weight of total rubber show a significant improvement of the impact properties at low temperature (-20°C) when the rubber is partly or entirely EPM-g-SA. In the case of PA6/EPM-g-SA (80/20) blend these results are related to the presence of rubbery domains of very small size strongly adherent to the PA6 matrix. In the case of 80/10/10 ternary blends, a much more complicated overall morphology is observed. Such morphology is characterized by the presence of large EPM domains, likely containing some EPM-g-PA6 graft molecules acting as an interfacial agent, and domains of EPM-g-PA6 of smaller size strongly adherent to the matrix as in the previous case.

    Notes: The Lower Critical Solution Temperature (LCST) of polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), and ethylene-propylene block and random copolymers have been measured in heptanes. A thermogram related to the variation of the turbidity of the solution is obtained between 100 and 210°C. The temperature of the onset of the turbidity peak is defined as the LCST of the system. The width and the area of the turbidity peaks are tentatively associated with the polymer polydispersity and the amount of polymer involved in the phase separation. The thermograms of solutions containing both homopolymers show two distinct turbidity peaks situated at a 70°C interval. Correlations of molecular orientations in the concentrated phase, possible in PE systems but not in PP solutions, are at the origin of the lower LCST values for PE solutions. The LCST of copolymers are situated between those of the homopolymers but the dependence of the LCST on the copolymer ethylene content is different for block and random copolymers. Examples of thermograms are also given for mixtures of copolymers with PE and PP. By analysis of their thermograms, some commercial block EP copolymers were also found to contain PK and PP. This method seems well suited for characterizing polymer mixtures.

    Notes: The dielectric properties of miscible blends of poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) and poly(α-methyl-α-n-propy-β-propiolae-tone) (PMPPL) have been investigated at different temperatures above and below Tg. The results were analyzed using the Cole-Cole representation and lead to the conclusion that this mixture does not exhibit micro-scale heterogeneities. Dielectric constant and dielectric loss master curves were constructed using the stress relaxation shift factors determined previously; the same shift factors could be used for the homopolymers and their blends. Similarities between the dielectric master curves and the stress relaxation master curves of PVC, PMPPL, and their blends, are also discussed.

    Notes: An experimental study was carried out to investigate the isothermal and non-isothermal curing kinetics of unsaturated polyester and vinyl ester resins, using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Emphasis was put on investigating the effect of low-profile additives on the curing kinetics of the thermo-setting resins. For the study, a general-purpose polyester resin and a vinyl ester resin were used, together with polyvinyl acetate (PVAc) as low-profile additive, benzoyl peroxide as initiator, and N,N-dimethyl aniline as promoter. It has been found that (1) the addition of the low-profile thermoplastic-additive decreases the rate of cure and, also, the final degree of cure of the resins, (2) the total heat of cure generated by isothermal cure is lower than that generated by non-isothermal cure, and (3) the resin/initiator mixture with promoter exhibits two major exotherm peaks during non-isothermal cure, but only a single exotherm peak during isothermal cure.

    Notes: A phenomenological model of entanglement networks is developed and applied to deformed glassy polymers. Thermal expansivities and birefringence are analyzed. The model assumes a stable network of entanglements up to draw ratios of about 5. Beyond that range the entanglement structure breaks down to maintain a nearly constant drawing stress. The results are used to determine the ultimate linear expansivities of atactic polystyrene.

    Notes: Distortion of bars injection-molded from polystyrene, polypropylene, and glass-fiber-filled polypropylene and subsequently placed in a temperature gradient has been examined. Residual stress distributions have been measured both for the as-molded state and after annealing in a temperature gradient. In the as-molded state all moldings showed the usual residual stress distribution with compressive stresses near the surface and tensile stresses in the interior. In all three materials it was found that tensile stresses could be developed near to the warmer surface on gradient annealing and that tensile stresses still remained at this surface when the bar was cooled and permitted to bend to restore internal equilibrium. It is shown therefore that in addition to the dimensional changes which occur and which may render the molding unserviceable after temperature gradient annealing, another undesirable change takes place, leaving the molding much more susceptible to fracture from a surface flaw. Uniform annealing is found to be much less likely to cause stress reversal and the stresses remain balanced so that distortion is minimal.

    Notes: The mechanical properties of a variety of immiscible binary blends, with and without third component polymeric compatibilizers, are reviewed and qualitatively related to the degree of adhesion between blend components as determined by lap shear testing. Generally, blends comprised of components which adhere well, one to the other, show improved ductility relative to blends of components which do not adhere, Similarly, polymeric compatibilizers are found to be more effective for improving the properties of a binary blend system if they adhere well to both primary components of the immiscible mixture. These results suggest that adhesion between phases in the mixture strongly influences the ultimate properties of the blend. Some evidence is presented which suggests that components which adhere well are partially miscible.

    Notes: A qualitative review of the thermodynamics of polymer systems will be given in terms of three contributions: positional (or combinatorial) entropy, an “international” term and a free volume term. From this one finds that a simple polymer-solvent system phase separates on lowering T to an Upper Critical Solution Temperature (UCST) or raising it to Lower Critical Solution Temperature (LCST), To achieve miscibility of two polymers of high molecular weight, one requires a “specific” interaction, usually a weak charge-transfer complex or a hydrogen bond. Phase separation takes place on raising the temperature to an LCST. These various UCST and LCST are predicted semi-quantitative by the Prigogine-Flory theory. When a solvent is added to two miscible polymers, a new type of phase separation appears since there is an effect of any difference in the strengths of the two polymer-solvent interactions. Phase separation may easily occur in the ternary system where there is none in the three binary systems, and examples will be given. In the case of two highly-attractive polymers in a solvent, a quite different phase separation occurs, sometimes called complex coacervation. A simple Flory-Huggins type theory predicts these phenomena in ternary systems.

    Notes: Solid state rolling of semi-crystalline polymers is shown to be an effective method of producing high strength, high modulus tape at acceptable production rates. High density polyethylene tape was produced having a tensile strength exceeding 300 MPa and a tensile modulus of 8.7 GPa at production rates exceeding 8 m/min. A significant factor in producing highly oriented tape by the rolling process is roll temperature. Increasing the roll temperature from 25°C to 125°C not only increases the maximum extent of orientation achievable, but increases the mechanical properties at a given degree of thickness reduction. Internal frictional heat development limited the maximum thickness reduction ratio of polypropylene to 6.6:1. This reduction was reached by rolling at 150°C. The resultant tape had a tensile modulus of 5.1 GPa and a tensile strength of 300 MPa.

    Notes: The distribution of residual stresses in quenched modified poly(phenylene oxide) (PPO) specimens was investigated. Quenching was carried out from temperature level above Tg to various temperatures below Tg. As expected, compressive stresses were measured at the surface layers while tensile stresses were in the inner layers. The ratio between the tensile and compressive stresses varied, depending on the thermal history. The level of residual surface stresses was found to depend on both the total temperature difference during cooling and the initial specimen temperature. At constant initial temperature the surface stresses are proportional to the total temperature difference, whereas, at constant final temperature the surface stresses are inversely proportional to the total temperature difference. An empirical correlation describing the surface stresses as a function of thermal history has been suggested. The differences between present theories and experimental data are discussed. emphasizing the apparent discrepancy regarding the influence of initial temperature above Tg on the level of residual stresses.

    Notes: Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and torsional braid analysis (TBA) were used to study the reaction of an epoxy resin system cured with a sterically hindered amine. Isothermal torsional braid analysis showed the apparent activation energy to be approximately 42 kJ/mol. The reaction kinetics were also considered from the unreacted freshly mixed condition and a partially reacted “B-staged” condition using infrared spectroscopy, The B-staged condition is unreactive and stable at room temperature due to the quenching of the primary amine reaction by the glassy structure and the steric hindrance of the secondary amine reaction. Apparent activation energies for these two conditions were found to be 49.4 kJ/mol and 49.0 kJ/mol respectively. The storage life at room temperature of the B-staged resin system is predicted to be at least three months based on extrapolation of the experimental kinetic data.

    Notes: In the present study, a modification of the method previously presented by the authors for predicting rheological properties of linear polyethylene melts from gel permeation chromatography (GPC) data is presented. The modification involves independent values of the zero shear viscosities for melts rather than generating these values internally. The comparison between the experimental zero shear viscosity values and those calculated from GPC data is shown to be very good.

    Graft copolymerization of vinyl chloride onto ethylene propylene rubber (EPR) and ethylene propylenediene monomer (EPDM) by bulk processPresented at the 180th National Meeting, American Chemical Society, August 1980. (1982)

    Notes: Vinyl chloride was graft copolymerized on ethylene propylene rubber (EPR) and ethylene propylene diene-monomer rubber (EPDM) by a bulk process to give a multi-component end product consisting of three components and two phases. The reaction system forms a pseudo-emulsion at an early stage of reaction where the phase morphology of graft poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) is determined. The formation of pseudo-emulsion was confirmed visually, by the particle size of PVC prepared in the presence of rubber and by the phase morphology of rub be r-g-PVC which is similar to that from an aqueous emulsion system. The degree of graft depends on the unsaturation of the rubber used as backbone. The amount of grafted EPR does not exceed 60 percent of the initial rubber; however, the amount of grafted EPDM is always higher than 60 percent of the initial rubber and increases further as the unsaturation increases. The degree of graft was found to be independent of the type of radical initiator used indicating that the abstraction of hydrogen from the rubber is carried out by the PVC radical to generate the grafting point. The graft PVC shows considerably improved processability which is equivalent to that of commercial vinyl chloride copolymers containing small amounts of propylene. It also shows dramatically improved impact strength which ranges from ten to twenty times that of PVC homopolymers.

    Notes: The temperature dependence of log a of poly(styrene -co- sodium methacrylate) was analyzed by means of the relation based on the free volume and the hole theories of liquids. For the near-Tg region the relation becomes a single parameter equation of T/Tg. The analysis revealed a transition in flow pattein at TT associated with disintegration of the ion multi plets. The Tt-transition was previously detected in other theological functions, viz, relaxation modulus, mechanical and dielectric tan δ plots.

    Notes: The rheological behavior of polymer blends is compared with that reported for emulsions, block polymers and homologous polymer blends. It has been shown that the properties of polymer alloys frequently differ from those of these “model” systems - the principal difference being the lowering of at least one rheological function below the value predicted In the log-additivity rule. Primarily, the most recent (post 1977) results are reviewed. The data obtained by the authors on the flow of poly(ethylene terephthalate)/Polyamide-6,6 are discussed in detail.

    Notes: The flow of molten poly(ethylene terephthalate) in pipes is discussed. The considerations made are based on the results of previous investigations by the authors, concerning the rheological behavior of the melt which exhibits thermal degradation. A procedure is proposed which enables the design of a pipe-line system for the distribution of molten, spinnable poly(ethylene terephthalate) in a fiber plant to be made.
