    Notes: Abstract With existing and proposed air-quality regulations, ecological disasters resulting from air emissions such as those observed at Copperhill, Tennessee, and Sudbury, Ontario, are unlikely. Current air-quality standards, however, may not protect ecosystems from subacute and chronic exposure to air emissions. The encouragement of the use of coal for energy production and the development of the fossil-fuel industries, including oil shales, tar sands, and coal liquification, point to an increase and spread of fossil-fuel emissions and the potential to influence a number of natural ecosystems. This paper reviews the reported responses of ecosystems to air-borne pollutants and discusses the use of animals as indicators of ecosystem responses to these pollutants. Animal species and populations can act as important indicators of biotic and abiotic responses of aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. These responses can indicate long-term trends in ecosystem health and productivity, chemical cycling, genetics, and regulation. For short-term trends, fish and wildlife also serve as monitors of changes in community structure, signaling food-web contamination, as well as providing a measure of ecosystem vitality. Information is presented to show not only the importance of animals as indicators of ecosystem responses to air-quality degradation, but also their value as air-pollution indices, that is, as air-quality-related values (AQRV), required in current air-pollution regulation.

    Notes: The effect of small amounts of low molecular weight polypropylene oxide on the rheological properties of talc-filled polypropylene composites was studied experimentally using a capillary viscometer. The elastic behavior of the system was investigated by exit pressure and die swell methods. Initial studies showed that the talc filler does not influence the viscosity of the polypropylene but decreases the elasticity of the polymer system. Addition of oligomer concentration in a 40 wt percent talc-filled polypropylene not only decreases the viscosity but also further decreases considerably the elasticity of the filled polymer composite. In both cases about 3 wt percent oligomer cone entration appears to be optimal, and further addition of oligomer does not significantly influence the rheological characteristics of the talc-filled polypropylene composite.

    Notes: A large variety of permselective membranes were prepared by radiation grafting techniques. Grafting of styrene into poly-(tetrafluoroethylene) films followed by sulfonation led to strong anionic membranes showing good performance in reverse osmosis. Carboxylic membranes were prepared by grafting acrylic and methacrylic acids. Cationic membranes were obtained via grafting 4-vinylpyridine. These membranes were tested in various fractionation processes including reverse osmosis. N-vinylpyrrolidone grafts exhibited high selectivity for separating water from organic solvents by pervaporation. Bifunctional membranes containing both carboxylic and pyridine groups were obtained by two successive grafting steps either in bulk giving rise to “homogeneous” membranes with unusual swelling properties, or into localized areas generating mosaic membranes which exhibit negative osmosis and increased rates of ion-pair diffusion.

    Notes: The crystallization of flexible-chain molecules of different degrees of coiling is considered. The nature of the phase transition during crystallization is discussed. The revision of established notions on phase transitions in polymers leads to the concept of crystalline topomorphism, i.e., the existence of two crystalline types with different modes of packing of macromolecules in the macroscopic crystal though they belong to the same lattice class: folded-chain crystal (FCC) and extended-chain crystal (ECC). Phase diagrams in coordinates of degree of coiling vs temperature are plotted. The values of molecular orientation and temperatures at which each of both mechanisms of crystallization takes place are evaluated. The mechanisms of ECC growth under equilibrium conditions and under conditions of molecular orientation are discussed. It is shown that the melting of ECC obtained by the process of orientational crystallization is a second order phase transition, being analogous to a crystal-nematic phase transition. At the same time the melting of FCC provides all the features of a first order transition.

    Notes: The concepts of Linear Elastic Fracture Mechanics (LEFM) are applied to polypropylene, a homopolymer and two copolymers, with a view to characterizing their brittle behavior at slow rates (0.5 cm/min) in terms of a fracture toughness, KIc. The effect of thickness, notch sharpness, and the mode of loading on KIc have been investigated in order to determine the plane strain toughness values, KcI for the materials. The two types of material are compared in terms of their toughness values over a range of temperatures between +30 and -160°C. Evidently, the small amounts of ethylene added to the copolymers show plasticizing effects, suppressing the yield stress and the ductile-brittle transition temperature. In addition, the copolymers exhibit a ductile-brittle region between -100 and -45°C where notch strengthening is apparent in the tension mode and a slow crack growth region between -45 and -30°C where slow growth precedes unstable fracture. The homopolymer, however, shows no clear evidence of such intermediate regions, except for slight amounts of slow growth above 0°C, and becomes ductile around 30°C.

    Residual stresses and aging in injection molded polypropylene (1980)

    Notes: The residual stresses in injection molded bars of polypropylene have been examined using a stress relaxation method and by the layer removal technique. A positive value for the internal stress parameter was obtained with newly molded specimens and was found to be retained by specimens stored at liquid nitrogen temperature. The stress relaxation parameter reduced to zero both for specimens aged at room temperature and also for those aged at -40°C. Nevertheless the relaxation behavior of specimens aged at all three temperatures was quite distinct. The layer removal technique showed that the stresses near to the surface were compressive and those in the interior tensile, in apparent contradiction to the interpretation of Kubat and Rigdahl for the meaning of a positive internal stress parameter. A marked reduction in stress levels on aging at room temperature was confirmed, however. The relevance of the relaxation spectrum of polypropylene to these observations is discussed.

    Notes: In the last few years some new features of the so-called type II diffusion have been established which confirm the first theoretical description of such a material transport into a semi-infinite glassy medium which at a certain concentration of the sorbate is transformed into a gel. The boundary between the glass and the gel progresses at a constant velocity into the interior of the sample thus yielding a linear term in the weight gain. The gradual establishment of the concentration profile in front of this boundary yields at the beginning a square root term in the weight gain. A detailed analysis of the extensive measurements of Hopfenberg, et al. of the diffusion of n-hexane into extremely small polystyrene spheres demonstrates that the weight gain always starts with a square root of time term. In sufficiently large spheres this contribution is soon completely overridden by the term linear in time. The spherical geometry substantially modifies the concentration profile and the weight gain. In particular the weight gain divided by the square root of time vs the square root of time shows a maximum as soon as the geometrical factors prevail over the effect of the constant velocity progression of the boundary between the glass and the gel.

    A study of crosslinking in polyimides by viscoelastic and diffusion techniques (1980)

    Notes: This paper is concerned with detecting crosslinking and changes in crosslink densities in cured polyimides. The methods used include diffusional weight gain and dynamic mechanical measurements on thin films of the cured polymers. In this study changes in diffusivities (D) for dimethylformamide (DMF) sorption into polyimide films as well as dynamic mechanical moduli and loss tangents are shown to be related to differences in polyimide cure schedule and composition. In all cases studied there is a β loss dispersion in the range 120 to 150°C and a γ loss dispersion in the range -50 to -80°C. The position and intensity of the β and γ relaxation processes vary primarily with cure cycle. There is a significant correlation between the magnitude of the diffusion coefficient and β and γ transition temperatures (Tβ and Tγ). Tβ increases and Tγ decreases with higher values of D so that T*, the difference Tβ - Tγ, is directly proportional to the diffusivity. By relating these results to data in the literature and the known curing behavior of polyimides, this trend is shown to be consistent with the presence of crosslinking and to be related to the crosslink density of the polymers. The data of this study indicate that measurements of diffusion coefficients for solvent sorption can be used to study changes in crosslink densities in glassy thermosetting polymers. Since the method is best suited for studying one dimensional diffusion, it also is suggested as a possibility for determining relative crosslink densities in adhesives bonded between substrates.

    Sorption and diffusion of ionic dyes in anionic cellophane membranesPresented in part at the “Textilwissenschaftliches Forum” Elmau (West Germany) (1975) (1980)

    Notes: Experimental steady-state permeability studies have been made with non-ionic, anionic and cationic dyes using carboxy cellulose membranes as anionic substrates. The experimental results show that with increasing bulk ionic strength the diffusion velocities of anionic and cationic compounds increase and decrease, respectively. The diffusion behavior of non-ionic compounds is independent of the ionic strength. Empirical relationships have been deduced which fit the permeation data of the anionic compounds. A new concept is introduced which postulates that the diffusion behavior of colons within an anionic membrane is dependent on the basicity of the fixed ionic groups. In substrates with matrix-bound anionic groups of high basicity, such as carboxy cellulose, the permeability behavior is described in terms of a new diffusion mechanism referred to as the “fluctuating” charge mechanism. This concept can provide a semi-quantitative understanding of the different electrostatic obstruction effects which matrix-bound carboxylate and sulfonate groups have on the permeability of colons. The measured permeability of the counter ions is in qualitative agreement with the proposed diffusion model.

    Notes: Elastin shares the properties of rubberlike elasticity and its capability to form a glass with crosslinked polymers in general. The glass transition temperature of dry elastin at 200°C is strongly depressed by water, as well as by ethylene glycol. On a volume fraction basis, both diluents depress the glass point equally. This result is strong evidence against any specific binding of diluent molecules and indicates relatively high mobility of diluent molecules in glassy elastin. This deduction is in agreement with the conclusions reached on the basis of heat capacity and dielectric measurements. Proposed small sections of β turns in the elastin chain are compatible with the concept of naturally occurring elastin chains in the amorphous state. Our results, however, do not confirm the existence of proposed β spirals with periodicities of 100 Å which were suggested to be the basis for the banded filaments observed in electron micrographs.

    Notes: Sorption data for H2O in glassy poly(acrylonitrile)(PAN) are presented for a range of relative vapor pressures at temperatures from 20 to 50°C. Simple dual mode sorption, involving “hole-filling” and molecular solution appears to dominate the low activity region of sorption. Based on the clustering analysis suggested by Zimm and Lundberg, pronounced clustering of penetrant appears to occur above a relative pressure of 0.6. The form of the effective concentration-dependent diffusion coefficient for H2O in PAN, determined by analysis of steady state permeation data, suggests that water in the microvoids and clusters has a lower mobility than the molecularly dissolved water in the polymer matrix. Time lag measurements at high upstream relative water vapor pressures suggest that the transient state permeation has a non-Fickian character due to relaxations which occur slowly to accommodate the clustering process.

    Notes: Water uptake has been measured in an epoxy resin based on tetraglycidylmethylenedianiline curved with dicyanidamide. The curing behavior of this system as elucidated by differential scanning calorimetry and Fourier transform infrared is complex. Based upon this information we selected curing temperatures and times in addition to the “standard” cure. The kinetics of the sorption of water by the materials which have undergone the standard cure indicate that the two modes of sorption are involved at high humidity and only a single mode at lower humidity (as seen by changes in the slope of the log Mt vs log t plots). The kinetics of the sorption in the resins which have undergone post cure at higher temperatures also indicate two or more modes of sorption at high humidities. However the slopes of the log Mt vs log t plots differ from those for the resin with standard cure. Subsequent sorption/desorption cycles on the standard cure resin showed marked increases in the initial sorption rate as well as changes in mode, suggesting that irreversible changes in the resin had occurred.

    Notes: Slow developed flow in an extruder channel has been set up as a two-dimensional, variational problem using a helical coordinate system, thus avoiding the usual geometrical simplification. Continuity is enforced by an integral form of constraint, and solutions for isothermal, Newtonian flow are obtained by a finite element method for both shallow and deep, highly curved channels. The performance of the solution procedure as a function of Lagrangian multiplier is discussed. Convergence to correct solutions is demonstrated for the shallow channel case. Deep channel results are compared with analytic predictions, curvature corrected according to Booy. Further testing of deep channel results will be made against experimental data.

    Notes: Polymeric films, chiefly polyethylenes, were subjected to corona-discharge treatment in a continuous treater at commercial rates in a program covering wide ranges of the main processing factors (2). Electron-spin-resonance measurements on freshly treated films found no free radicals. Reactions of the treated surfaces with a free-radical compound, diphenyl picryl hydrazyl (DPPH) were studied, focusing mainly on the rate effects. The evidence indicates that corona treatment produces fairly stable peroxide structures of the forms RO2R and RO3R on polyethylene surfaces. RO3R reacts rapidly with DPPH alone, while RO2R undergoes a slower reaction after addition of the catalyst, triethylene diamine. DPPH is capable of detecting as few as 1013 peroxide groups per square centimeter. Activation energies were 12 kcal/mole for the uncatalyzed reaction and 16 kcal/mole for the amine-catalyzed reaction. As with the physical effects reported earlier (2), the production of peroxides is most strongly dependent on the energy delivered to the film during treatment. This energy is proportional to the quotient of corona current and web speed, I/S, Regression analysis showed that air-gap thickness, relative humidity, and number of electrodes used also were significant factors, while dielectric thickness and corona frequency were not. We found that-γSP, the polar component of surface energy of the treated film, which is nearly zero for untreated polyethylenes, is exponentially related to the concentrations of both RO2R and RO3R with a correlation coefficient for 92 specimens tested of 0.88. We believe this is the first strong evidence linking treatment factors, at commercial levels of treatment, to chemistry of the treated surface and linking both of those to changes in physical behavior of the surface.

    Notes: The load carrying capacity of adhesive joints is analyzed by applying the principle of fracture mechanics in which failure is assumed to initiate from sites of initial imperfections such as bubbles, cracks or unbonded portions of the interface. The cohesive and adhesive modes of failure are investigated for a butt joint under angle loading. Based on the prediction of the strain energy density criterion, the lowest failure stress for the adhesive joint occurred when the load is applied at an angle with respect to the crack plane. This is in contrast to the homogeneous material solution where the lowest failure stress corresponds to normal loading. Numerical examples are provided for a joint made of DER 332-TEPA epoxy with aluminum as the adherends. Discussed in detail are the dependencies of the strength of the joint with reference to the material properties of the constituents, geometries of the components, and direction of loading.

    Notes: Theoretical or rheological calculations for crosshead die geometry were thought not worthwhile until recently, and restrictor, or choker, bars were often excessively relied upon for film uniformity. Thus, the residence time distribution of a polymer melt was infrequently calculated especially in the T-die, because it was assumed to be very wide in T-dies. This report provides a general equation expressing the residence time distribution of polymer melts in T-dies, and indicates how to take an optimum combination of the flow-path dimensions in order to obtain both a high flow uniformity and a comparatively narrow residence time distribution across the die width. Such a T-die designed by the above considerations will produce a shorter heat history and improved physical properties of the sheet or film produced.

    Co-extrusion of polymers with one single screw having a specially devised double channelPresented at the 2nd Joint Meeting of U.S. and Japan Societies of Rheology, Kona, Hawaii (April 6-8, 1979). (1980)

    Notes: Co-extrusion by means of only one single screw with a double channel was studied. The effects of the operating conditions, the material properties and the screw geometries on the inter-channel flow and the output rate were determined. The flow mechanism and the application to the composites with stratified structures were discussed. The inter-channel flow rate decreased with decrease in the back pressure, the stock temperature, the screw rotational speed and the viscosity difference between polymer melts in both channels. The decrease in the compression ratios of channels, the barrier flight in the compression zone and the sealing at the flight clearance with the polyamide-packing reduced the inter-channel flow significantly without a decrease in the output rate. With this method, co-extrudates with distinctly stratified cross-sections were prepared. The single screw with double-channel could be applied effectively to the co-extrusion of composites with stratified structures such as sheath-and-core structures, and it is particularly suitable to distribute the additives heterogeneously or to enclose the waste polymer.

    Notes: Details are given below of how the heat-up process for radiation methods may be expressed mathematically. In order to fulfill practical requirements, a process must ensure calculation of necessary heating time using process-specific characteristic curves with a minimum of mathematical effort. To this end the amount of heat actually absorbed by the surface of the O product must be known when sheets are heated by radiation. This can easily be determined through measurement of sheet surface temperature. It will be shown that if certain preconditions are satisfied, then variations in the distance of the IR-heaters have no effect on the temperature profile of the sheet. With poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) the nature of coloration does not play a significant role. Investigations into the cooling process centered on a number of cooling methods and tool materials. The dynamic behavior of tempered and untempered thermoforming tools showed similarities to work already carried out in the injection molding sector. Consideration was given to possible ways of using the “Thermolog” analog computer, developed at IKV, to calculate the necessary cooling times in the production of thermoformed parts. Input values and basic data on temperature-time curves, necessary for the compilation of cooling curves using the analog simulator, were derived from appropriate tests on a thermoforming machine.

    Notes: The role of surface renewal and feedback phenomena in devolatilization equipment is clearly illustrated via staged models. A continuous model for the vented, single-screw devolatilizer is developed, including barrel evaporation and bulk surface renewal as well as backmixing, which represents de-volatilization data more accurately than previous models. Numerous sample computations are included. The models are used to demonstrate the sensitivity of devolatilization equipment to certain design parameters.

    The effects of light and heat on the rubber content and impact strength of acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (1980)

    Notes: DSC analysis of acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) samples either weathered outdoors for up to 10 years or aged at 71°C has shown that these plastics deteriorate most readily through the polybutadiene (BD) component. Oxidation of the BD in ABS leads to an increasing and broadening Tgas well as a decrease in ΔCp at Tg. The latter quantity can be used to quantitatively assay the amount of unoxidized rubber in a photo- or thermal-oxidized sample. The loss of impact strength of these resins with chemical aging can be correlated with the oxidation of the polybutadiene phase. Studies of rubber content as a function of sample thickness have revealed that an embrittled layer containing oxidized BD develops at the surface of an aged, 100 mil. ABS plaque (natural) and grows to a thickness of about 10 mils after 3 years exposure to sunlight. ABS containing carbon black is effectively screened from this photo induced degradation and consequently has much better retention of its initial impact strength values. In addition, carbon black was observed to retard thermal oxidation in some ABS samples. Lastly, it appears possible to do accelerated aging studies at elevated temperatures to evaluate the relative stabilities of various ABS formulations.

    Notes: Blends of polyoxymethylene (POM) with a copolymer of ethylene and vinyl acetate (CEVAc) have been studied. The effect of viscosity ratio for melts of the components on the processes of fiber formation in extrudates and on the rheological properties of the molten blend has been tested. The viscosity ratio of the fiber-forming POM and the matrix varied in the range 0.35-27.7. POM ultrathin fibers of unlimited length can be formed in the CEVAc only at a viscosity ratio close to unity. For ratios much greater than unity, the extrudate is found to contain short fibers and a finely dispersed powder or no fibers at all. If the viscosity of the POM melt is lower than that of the matrix, films are formed in addition to fibers. The second factor that governs fiber formation is the extrusion shear stress. An optimum shear stress exists at which the amount of ultrathin fibers is a maximum.

    Notes: Parameters are developed for predicting rheological changes during ionic, condensation, and free-radical polymerization. Polymerization is viewed as changes in molecular weight and concentration for polymer solutions. Polymerization data in the laboratory and in tubular reactors are shown to be consistent with the proposed rheokinetic theory. This approach is based on polymerization kinetics and the corresponding solution rheology and phase diagrams.

    Notes: Iodinated polystyrene (IPS) is obtained by direct iodination of polystyrene and its lithographic characteristics are investigated. The sensitivity of the polymer to electron beams is increased as the result of iodination by a factor of about 10 and reaches 1 μC/cm2. Coated IPS films are very stable and no changes in exposure characteristics are observed even after pre-baking at 220°C for 10 min. It is found that crosslinking does not proceed in a vacuum after electron beam exposure. The milling rate of IPS under Ar+ bombardment is measured to be 0.25 nm/s. This is lower than that of poly(glycidyl methacrylate-co-ethyl acrylate) (0.67 nm/s) and that of permalloy (0.42 nm/s), both obtained under the same conditions. The mechanism of sensitization by iodination is discussed.

    Notes: In 1902, Wolff proposed a mechanism to explain the formation of carboxylic acids from diazo-oxides; Süs in 1944 invoked this same mechanism for the formation of indene carboxylic acid from diazo-oxides. Since these materials are currently used in the well known class of AZ photoresists, the Süs mechanism has been referred to many times to explain the positive working nature of the photoresists. In spite of the widespread use and industrial importance of the AZ resists, the validity of the Süs mechanism had not been unequivocally demonstrated to any degree of satisfaction. For these reasons, photochemical studies were initiated to establish the following: (1) Obtain direct spectroscopic evidence for ketene intermediates in the Wolff rearrangement of diazooxides. (2) Determine the reactivity of the ketene towards water and hydroxyl containing organic compounds. (3) Determine the reactivity of the ketene in the AZ resists. Fundamental photochemical decomposition mechanisms have been established for the AZ-type photoresists; these and recent theoretical results on the Wolff rearrangement are used to convey the technological implications of the studies.

    Notes: Polystyrenes with narrow molecular weight distributions have been chlorinated with only slight broadening of molecular weight distributions to yield materials that are five to six times more sensitive to electron-beam irradiation. The chlorinated polystyrenes are useful negative resists for electron-beam lithography. At molecular weights of 3-4 × 105g/mole, their threshold sensitivities to 20 keV electrons are 1-2μC/cm2. Their lithographic contrasts are ≥ 1.5; in fact, 〉 2.0 for the narrowest molecular weight distributions. They compare favorably in these regards to polystyrenes of similar molecular weight characteristics. Lithographic relief images that are 80% of the original thickness of the polymer film can be formed at three to four times the threshold dose.The degree of chlorination ranged from 0.65-0.76 Cl/monomer unit. The infrared spectra of the chlorinated materials resemble the spectrum for poly(4-chlorostyrene). Elemental analysis indicated, however that some addition of chlorine had occurred. More extensive chlorination or chlorination of the higher molecular weight starting materials broadened the molecular weight distributions.The chlorinated material, a kind of poly(4-chlorostyrene-costyrene), is less sensitive than poly(4-chlorostyrenc) prepared by addition polymerization by almost a factor of four.

    Notes: A lithographic process is described which increases the sensitivity of polymers to electron beam irradiation. The free radicals and peroxides produced in a film of polymer by irradiation are used to initiate the grafting of a monomer to form a graft copolymer, the solubility of which may be higher or lower than that of the initial polymer. Acrylic acid has been grafted into poly(methyl methacrylate) films to produce a copolymer which is insoluble in the solvents of PMMA. The sensitivity of this negative system depends on the conditions of grafting and on the conditions of development. A sensitivity of 2.8 10-8 C.cm-2 at 20 keV has been obtained.

    Notes: Fifteen negative and four positive resists were tested to determine their proton-beam sensitivity and contrast. The ratio of the required 20-keV electron dose (QE) to the required 100-keV proton dose (QP) ranged from a low value of 7.8 to a high value of 270. In general, the most sensitive resists had the lowest values of QE/QP. This result is explained as being due to incomplete coverage by reactive species at low proton doses because the incident protons are spaced too far apart. The product of QP and the weight-average molecular weight (Mw) was almost constant for a series of narrow dispersivity polystyrenes over the Mw range of 20,000 to 2,600,000. This product was used as a figure of merit for comparing negative resists.

    Notes: Chemical composition effects upon polymer electron energy absorption and radiation chemistry have been identified to develop resist design criteria. By use of Bethe's theory for electron scattering in solids, chemical incorporation of higher atomic-numbered substituents is predicted to decrease energy absorption and increase scattering. Incorporation of chlorine or fluorine into vinyl polymers at the possible substituent sites is empirically found to have a large effect upon radiation G (scission) and G (crosslink) values. G (scission) values determined for several copolymers over a large range of compositions are found to vary linearly with composition. In contrast, G (crosslink) values are found to be generally less than those predicted from a linear extrapolation between the homopolymer values. Electron beam resist behavior is found to correlate well with the Gs/Gx ratio.

    Notes: This paper compares the response of resists consisting of novolak resin and diazoquinone sensitizers (inhibitors) to optical and electron-beam radiation. In both cases, irradiation destroys the sensitizer leading to an increased rate of solubility in alkaline developer. For optical exposure in the near-uv region, the light is absorbed only by the chromophore sites and a unique quantum efficiency of 0.30 ± 0.03 can be measured for a range of wavelengths and sensitizers (10.5 ± 1.0 eV/bleached site). In the case of electron-beam exposure, the initial rate of bleaching in pure sensitizer implies that 7.6 ± 0.6 sites are destroyed per 100 eV absorbed (13 ± 1 eV/molecule). In mixtures of sensitizer and resin (i.e., resists), this inherent sensitivity, or G-value, based on the calculated absorption by the sensitizer only, increases by almost a factor of 2 as the proportion of resin is increased. While the electron and optical exposure both destroy the sensitizer center, absorption spectra and solubility properties show that the end products of the chemical reactions are not the same in the two cases. In addition, high doses of electrons produce cross-linking and insolubilization of the resin.

    Notes: Electron resist properties of three vinylaromatic polymers, polystyrene, polyvinylcarbazole and poly(3-bromo-N-vinylcarbazole) have been examined. Polystyrene and polyvinylcarbazole are high contrast resists of high dry etch resistance, but for adequate sensitivity (Dg0.5 ≤ ca. 10 μC/cm2 at 25 kV) high molecular weights are needed (Mw ≥ 106). Poly(3-brotno-N-vinylearbazole) has a much higher sensitivity (Dg0.5 = ca. 2 μC/cm2) than the unsubstituted polymer. The sensitivity of polystyrene and polyvinylcarbazole is increased appreciably by addition of organic bisazides as crosslinking agents, e.g. a sensitivity increase of almost an order of magnitude was found upon addition of 3% 4, 4′-diazidostilbene to polystyrene, high contrast being maintained.

    Notes: Drag reduction in two-phase cocurrent horizontal natural gas-hexane pipe flow was studied experimentally. The effects of pipe diameter, gas flow rate, liquid flow rate, and additive concentration were investigated using the Dowell APE drag reducer. In the annular-mist flow regime studied, it was found that drag reduction increased with decreasing gas rate for a given liquid rate, drag reduction decreased with increasing friction velocity and it decreased with decreasing gas-liquid ratio for a given friction velocity. Although the drag reduction decreased rapidly as the liquid-gas ratio approached zero, drag reductions as high as 34 percent were obtained. Attempts to predict two-phase drag reduction were unsuccessful as it was found to depend upon friction velocity, liquid and gas rates, liquid-gas rate ratio, pipe diameter and additive concentration.

    Notes: Polydiallylorthophthalate, PDOP, of low molecular weight and low molecular weight dispersivity has been prepared and investigated as a negative resist for electron-beam, X-ray and ultraviolet lithographies. The resist polymers were prepared by a conventional fractional precipitation method. It has been found that a high resolution pattern is obtained by using a molecular weight of 1 × 104 and an Mw/Mn 〈 2. This gives a good solubility difference between the exposed and unexposed portions in the developer. Resolution is less than 1 μm without any scum. Sensitivity for 15 kV electron bourns is 4 × 106C/cm2; and for X-rays (Al Kα) it is 100 mJ/cm2. Sensitivity for UV is 10 times that of poly(methyl methacrylate), and resistance for C3F8 dry etching is comparable to AZ-1350J.

    Notes: The flow-assisted degradation behavior of polystyrene was studied as a function of solvent, polymer concentration, molecular weight, and molecular weight distribution. To obtain data at concentrations as low as 100 parts per million by weight, turbulent drag reduction measurements were used to augment the usual analytical techniques of viscosity and gel permeation chromatography. Turbulent flow measurements were found to be a valuable technique for evaluating the effects of degradation: the drag reduction onset point provides information about the largest molecules in the sample while the flow rate dependence is related to the shape of the top part of the molecular weight distribution. For the polymers and flow conditions studied, the degradation causes a shift in the distribution to lower molecular weights with little change in the shape. This suggests a complex mechanism where the probability of bond scission is not random but varies along the polymer backbone.

    Notes: Rapid and efficient sulfonation of ethylene-propylene terpolymer elastomer (EPDM) was achieved in a continuous melt mixing process. A mixture of sulfuric acid and acetic anhydride was used as the sulfonating agent. The reaction of EPDM polymer and the sulfonating agent was carried out in an extruder. It was shown that the continuous melt sulfonation of EPDM polymer may be used as an alternative to the batch solution methods previously reported for the preparation of sulfonated EPDM polymer. The extruder-reactor method offers advantages of shorter process time, elimination of solvent handling hazards, and abatement of solvent removal and recovery problems.

    Notes: When a polymer melt flows around the cross head or past the fins of a torpedo in a pipe die, a weld line is produced where the separated melt streams rejoin. This weld line may result in an area of weakness in the extruded pipe, although in the case of unfilled materials the effect can be reduced by using a compression section in the die. However, With fiber reinforced polymers it is unlikely that fibers will cross the weld line, and a reduction in strength is inevitable. It is shown theoretically that by rotating the core of the extrusion die the weld line can be modified to form a spiral around the pipe wall, with a large-surface area for improved strength. Experimental investigations, which employ photographs of thin sections of pipe containing carbon black particles, support these conclusions.

    Notes: The shear deformation which a rubber compound undergoes when passing through a mill nip was calculated. For this purpose the pressure distribution was measured using a strain gauge mounted in the table of a RAPRA micro-mill. The method has been applied to black-loaded master batches of natural rubber and styrene-butadiene rubber, where the shear deformation was estimated as a function of the mill nip opening. Furthermore, the physical properties of a latex-mixed powder vulcanizate was measured as a function of the estimated shear deformation.

    Notes: The solid phase hydrostatic extrusion behavior of a range of linear polyethylenes, including methyl and butyl copolymer grades, has been compared in terms of processing behavior and product properties, for large diameter extrusions in the adiabatic thermal regime. The most useful improvements in both stiffness and long term creep behavior were obtained from medium melt flow index homopolymers, although such grades required higher forming pressures than the copolymers. This represents a reversal of the creep behavior trends observed for small diameter isothermal extrusions, where copolymer grades were superior. The engineering potential of hydrostatically extruded linear polyethylene is discussed.

    Notes: Rockwell hardness measurement at an elevated temperature has been proposed as an evaluation method for the curing characteristics of thermosetting molding compounds. This method is convenient and has a high accuracy over a wide range of curing, Using a cone indenter, the following advantages are brought about: a good correspondence with acetone extraction test, in showing the degree of cure of the internal part of a molding rather than that of the skin layer, and a higher sensitivity in measuring higher degrees of cure. On examining curing behavior of commercial phenolic molding compounds by this method, an inflection point was observed on a plot of the hardness vs log curing time. This critical point has been called “the minimum cure time”, beyond which the molding exhibits good physical properties.

    Notes: The curing behavior of one-step phenolic molding compounds was studied using results of Rockwell hardness measurements at elevated temperatures with a cone indenter. The curing process was found to advance in a stepwise manner to the final stage of cure at a specific temperature. An explanation for this phenomenon has been attempted by suggesting the alternating occurrence of two types of curing reactions - propagation and crosslinking. After proceeding to some extent of cure, only the propagation reaction can occur through the migration of low molecular resin to the reactive sites of polymer chains. The propagation facilitates the subsequent crosslinking which drastically enhances the hardness of the resin. The results of electrical resistivity measurements and acetone extraction tests were also found to support the occurrence of above phenomenon.

    Notes: The impact behavior of a low-density polyethylene was studied with an instrumented Charpy tester. A change from elastic or ductile response to brittle fracture was observed over a small temperature interval, usually within 1°C. This characteristic impact transition temperature (ITT) was highly sensitive to shallow, sharp notches. Whereas an unnotched test bar had a very low impact transition temperature of -94°C, a razor cut with a depth of only 5 percent of the total thickness raised it to -4°C. The impact transition temperature was effectively reduced by increasing the cooling rate during specimen preparation and by the addition of nonpolar liquids, On the other hand, impact properties were adversely affected by aging, annealing, and adding other thermoplastics.

    Notes: Vinyl copolymers with high radiation degradation sensitivity have been synthesized by copolymerizing vinylidene chloride (VDC), CH2 = CCl2, with methyl methacrylate (MMA), methacrylonitrile, methyl α-chloroacrylate, and dimethyl itaconate using emulsion techniques. In addition, copolymers of methyl α-chloroacrylate with methyl methacrylate and poly(α-chloroaerylonitrile) were studied. Introduction of vinylidene chloride into methyl methacrylate polymers caused a sharp increase in Gs even at relatively low VDC incorporation. Upon 29 percent VDC incorporation, the Gs value increased from 1.3 (homopolymer of MMA) to 3.4. Gs was found to be a linear function of copolymer content for several systems, but Gx was not. At higher VDC levels, the increase in Gs was countered by increases in Gx. At lower VDC levels, Gx was suppressed below the values predicted by a linear Gx dependence on composition for such systems as VDC/MMA, MCA/MMA, and α-chloroacrylonitrile/MMA. The VDC/MMA co-polymer(29 percent VDC) gavea sensitivity of 4.0 × 10-5C/cm2 to electron beam exposure using the 0 percent unexposed resist thickness loss criterion and is 2-3 times more sensitive than PMMA. Poly(α-chloroacrylonitrile) is a negative resist with a sensitivity of 5 × 10-5 C/cm2 using one-micron line images for testing.

    Notes: Double exposure holographic interferometry has been used to measure the response of a growing craze to a pulsed stress. The craze was grown in situ by application of methanol to a crack in a poly (methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) strip under tension (K1 = 0.4 MN/m3/2). An incremental stress, approximating 15 percent of the overall crazing stress, is applied to the growing craze in a 1 s pulse. Incremental strain and stress profiles are measured along a line parallel to, but displaced 1.0 mm from, the growing craze, from a double exposure hologram triggered just before and during the pulse. The craze deforms rapidly, relieving the incremental stress concentration that can be shown to exist before craze growth. In a second set of experiments one holographic exposure is triggered during the incremental stress pulse, and a second exposure is triggered afterward. The results of such experiments indicate that the craze deformation is primarily plastic, and corresponds to a plastic strain rate of not less than 0.2 s-1. Consideration of the diffusion limitation of the rate of craze thickening leads to the conclusion that this plastic deformation is attributable to fibril creep rather than a surface drawing mechanism.

    Notes: All materials are subject to aging, a process of long-term degradation, but not at the same rate or affected in the same manner. The wide variation in susceptibility (or resistance) of polymers to various degradative agents, e.g., oxidative, thermal, mechanical, chemical, biological, depend on their chemical composition and structure. Accordingly, the chemical, physical, and energy considerations inherent in the pure polymer are discussed in relation to degradative stability.

    Notes: The prediction of the lifetime of a polymer by extrapolation from weight-loss data requires a thorough analysis of degradation kinetics over a wide temperature range. Techniques are described in which entire kinetic spectra are compared among experiments performed at heating rates from 6 deg/min to 9 deg/day. These comparisons permit diagnosing shifts in reaction mechanism, uncoupling of competing processes and more reliably predicting the rate-limiting process at service conditions. These techniques and a method for obtaining initial X kinetic parameters are illustrated for several polymers.

    Notes: The thermal properties of poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) are sensitively affected by polycondensation catalysts and temperature. The kinetics of thermal degradation were investigated by determining the rates of formation of carboxyl groups on isothermal heating. Carboxyl groups in PET were not only a result of thermal exposure but they were also an influence on hydrolytic stability. The hydrolytic cleavage of polyester chains, i.e., the formation of carboxyl groups, was found to be an autocatalytic reaction.

    Notes: Polycarbonate was recycled in a capillary rheometer at high constant shear stresses (0.15-0.95 MPa) and at temperatures between 275 and 320°C. Changes in melt viscosity and molecular weight were evaluated. Significant polymer degradation was observed on repetitive extrusion. An activation energy of 113 kJ/mol was determined for the initial stages of the process. The degradation kinetics were in agreement with a non-random chain scission. It was concluded that bonds were more susceptible to scission the closer they were to the middle of the polymer molecule and that the extent of degradation increased with an increase in molecular weight.

    Notes: Cold Compaction Molding and Sintering of Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE) has been examined as a function of particle size, sintering time and temperature, and cooling rate. Properties nearly equivalent to those obtained by compression molding can be obtained from samples with a fibrous particle morphology, sintered just above the melting point, with further improvement possible by control of particle size and addition of fine particles of normal molecular weight linear polyethylene. UHMWPE with a nodular particle morphology sintered poorly.

    Notes: A mathematical model is derived for isothermal flow of a Newtonian liquid through corotating twin screw equipment. Two different flow regimes are studied. In the first, channels of twin screw equipment are completely filled with liquid, generate a pressure gradient, and provide a discharge pressure at the end of the pump. Equations are given for drag flow rate, pressure backflow rate, and flow rate through the nip zone. It is shown how the analysis of single screw pumps can be modified for twin-screw pumps. In the second regime channels are partly full, which is the case with extraction equipment. Equations show how the degree of fill in the equipment changes with flow rate, speed, and dimensions.

    Notes: The degradation rates of free radical polymerized and syn-diotactic poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) under electron radiation were explored at temperatures ranging from 225 to 325°C and at electron dose rates from 10,000 rads/min to 100,000 rads/min. Scission of bonds between main-chain atoms resulted in pairs of radical chain ends, of which some disportionated, thereby reducing polymer molecular weight without loss of volatile, while others proceeded to depropagate via the usual radical transfer, causing complete volatilization of the chain without significant change of molecular weight of the residual polymer. Electron irradiation at a dose rate of 100,000 rads/min produced a significant enhancement in the reaction, rate, and reduced the overall activation energy from 140 KJ/g-mole observed for thermally induced depropagation to a value of 75 KJ/g-mole observed during simultaneous irradiation and/thermal depropagation.

    Notes: A history dependent solubility model is generalized in accordance with the Dual Mode Sorption Theory to take into account a history dependency of effective water diffusion coefficients in epoxy resins, based on hypothesized microcavitational damage due to the combined effects of temperature and sorbed moisture. Sorption data presented in a different paper are analyzed in the light of a transport model in which part of diffusing molecules are completely immobilized in the formed microcavities. The nature of the hypothesized damaging process is in agreement with the diffusion coefficient depressions and solubility increases experimentally found and theoretically predicted by the model.

    Notes: An experimental study was made of single fibers rotating and bending in Couette flow of a Newtonian liquid. A previous result for critical fiber buckling was re-tested and found satisfactory, and the transition between ‘springy’ and ‘snake’ rotation was delineated. The minimum radius, of curvature achieved during rotation in the “snake orbit” regime was measured as a function of fiber aspect ratio, Young's modulus, and fluid shear stress. Two correlations are presented which are constrained to satisfy limiting conditions for very stiff and very flexible fibers. Together with a result from thin rod theory, these correlations may be used to predict breaking conditions for fibers of known Young's modulus and ultimate tensile strength. Predictions are tested in experiments where two types of glass fiber are broken in suspension and found satisfactory. Results show that several reinforcing materials will probably break within the range of conditions covered by our experiments, or in a region which can be treated by extrapolation from our results.

    Notes: The oxidative degradation of cold drawn highly oriented high density polyethylene is studied by IR spectroscopy. Both gamma and ultraviolet radiation sources are used. It is found that under gamma radiation the oxidative degradation, as determined from carbonyl formation, is reduced very significantly but that the trans-vinylene unsaturation in the polymer increases with draw ratio. Similar results are obtained for samples irradiated in vacuum or when the polymer is stabilized with a radical quencher. Annealing (with free-ends) of the samples restores the rate of carbonyl formation over and above that of the undrawn polymer although restoration after annealing with fixed-ends is not complete. There, is further increase in trans-vinylene development after annealing. In stabilized samples, the effect of annealing on carbonyl and trans-vinylene development appears to depend on draw ratio.Under ultra-violet radiation, the oxidative degradation of drawn and unannealed samples is also reduced with increasing draw ratio. The same effect is observed in stabilized samples. Annealing, once again, restores the rate of oxidative degradation to that of the undrawn polymer. The main unsaturation product during ultraviolet irradiation is the vinyl end group and its development is suppressed with drawing. During ultraviolet irradiation of unannealed drawn samples, cracks, generally perpendicular to the draw direction (intrafibrillar cracks) appear on the sample and with further irradiation they penetrate into the sample. In the case of stabilized and unannealed drawn samples, cracks parallel to the draw direction (interfibrillar cracks) appear first and continued irradiation results in the appearance of intrafibrillar cracks. These observations may have significance in modelling the fibrous structures obtained by drawing semicrystalline polymers.

    Notes: The crystallization behavior of three IUPAC low density polyethylene samples has been characterized by thermal analysis. Their rates of crystallization only are directly correlatable with their film forming ability in film blowing technology. The IUPAC samples possessed essentially indistinguishable physical properties, including differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) melting curves and rheological characteristics, but their propensity for crystallization was found readily to parallel their film forming ability and other characteristics associated with end-use performance. The application of thermal analysis to assess crystallization is a unique diagnostic tool for measuring polymer film processability, which is well illustrated here using a few simple experiments made on the original polymer specimens and a polymer blend. Although all samples exhibit similar small-angle X-ray periodicities, the morphological differences assessed, particularly by microtomy-optical microscopy, correlate with, and complement, the results of phase transformation kinetics responsible for film properties. Fractography-scanning electron microscopy proves to be inferior to optical methods for revealing the morphology of these low density polyethylenes.

    Notes: Mixtures of two compatible polymers, poly(vinyl chloride) and poly(acrylonitrile-co-butadiene) containing 40 percent acrylonitrile, can be compatible with poly(vinylidene chloride-co-vinyl chloride), which is incompatible and partially compatible respectively with these two polymers. The crystalline melting temperature and relative heat of fusion of poly(vinylidene chloride-co-vinyl chloride) in blends are higher than those in the pure component. This is attributed to greater ordering of the polymer chains in the crystalline phases of the blends. Replacing the rubber by poly(acrylonitrile-cobutadiene) containing 30 percent acrylonitrile, shows that these three polymers, in which each pair is incompatible or at most partially compatible, also form compatible ternary blends. The crystalline melting temperature is higher and relative heat of fusion lower than those in the pure component. This is attributed to dissolving of parts of the polymer chains originally located in the crystalline phases in the amorphous phases of the blends.

    Notes: Films of low-density polyethylene, polypropylene, and rigid poly(vinyl chloride) were exposed for 1700 h to artificial aging in a Weather-O-Meter. Photochemical aging was characterized by tensile measurements. We noted that only ultimate properties are affected, whereas properties defined in the low strain range remain unchanged. The kinetics of strain and stress at break depend as much on the polymer's initial rheological characteristics as on the rate of the chemical degradation. The results show that aging results in localized chain breaking leading to defects at the supermolecular level. The average decrease of molecular weight does not seem to influence the mechanical behavior.

    Notes: A study has been carried out on the properties of a fast-curing two-part polyurethane sealant, and on its blends with other polymers, such as poly(vinyl acetate), poly(vinyl chloride) and poly(vinyl alcohol). Different substrates, such as Portland cement mortar, wood, and aluminum in three different thermal conditions were used. Tension tests by Universal Testing machine Model 1175 have been made, and stress-strain curves have been devised and discussed. A two-component fastcuring polyurethane sealant demonstrates good adhesivity for the supports mentioned. The elasticity of polyurethane sealants may improve even at low temperatures if mixing with other polymers.

    Notes: Thermoplastic interpenetrating polymer networks, IPN's, are defined as combinations of two physically crosslinked polymers. A styrene-b-ethylene-co-butylene-b-styrene (SEBS) triblock elastomer was combined with an ionomer prepared from a random copolymer of styrene, methacrylic acid, and isoprene (90/10/1 by volume), and subsequently neutralized. Two subclasses of the thermoplastic IPN's were identified. A sequential polymerization method yielded the chemically blended thermoplastic IPN's (CBT IPN's). Melt blending of the separately synthesized polymers produced the mechanically blended thermoplastic IPN's (MBT IPN's). Stress-strain and Rheovibron characterization revealed that the CBT IPN's exhibited greater tensile strength and higher elongation at break, but lower moduli than the MBT IPN materials of the same overall composition. Analysis of moduli data with the theories of Takayanagi, Davies, Budiansky, and Kerner disclosed more equal dual phase continuity for the MBT IPN's than the CBT IPN's at each composition. The low modulus of the more rubbery CBT IPN compositions was attributed to a decrease in the effective chain end-to-end distance between crosslinks in the elastomeric (EB) center block, brought about by the synthetic method.

    Notes: A real-time computer system is described which minimizes the total analysis time in gel permeation chromatography by automatically acquiring the data, performing the necessary calculations and displaying the molecular weight distribution and molecular weight averages as soon as the polymer peak has eluted. The calculation method described here is valid for linear homopolymers only, and does not include corrections for instrumental peak broadening. The experimental results show good reproducibility and precision. On-line changes of the constants and other parameters may be implemented by means of an auxiliary program which runs in parallel with the data analysis program. A system such as that described here is suitable for utilization as a measurement technique in process control applications. The programs are written in CORAL 66 for a Ferranti Argus 700 E computer.

    Notes: An approximate analytical solution is obtained for the flow rate-pressure drop relation for adiabatic capillary flow of a fluid with a pressure- and temperature-dependent viscosity. Neglect of the pressure dependence can result in large errors in the usual range of injection molding practice. The approximate solution follows from an exact solution of capillary flow with a viscosity that depends only on pressure.

    Notes: The properties and processing characteristics of open-celled foams produced by leaching small NaCl particles from high density polyethylene has been investigated. In a random dispersion of salt particles in the polymer matrix a minimum volume loading of 40 percent was required to produce an open-celled foam. The time required to remove this quantity of salt with 50°C water was 100 min. The maximum porosity of the foam is limited to the maximum packing fraction of the salt. For randomly dispersed isotropic particles the maximum packing fraction is approximately 0.64. Because the composite rapidly loses melt strength as the filler content nears the maximum packing fraction, the practical upper limit of extruded foam porosity is approximately 0.60.

    Notes: An experimental investigation into the performance in general and the melting behavior in particular of a single screw extruder running with a low density polyethylene power has been carried out and the results compared with those for a granular feedstock of low density polyethylene having similar melt properties. It was found that the tendency was for the output rate, pressure generated and specific power consumption to be lower for the powders, and that the removal of barrel heating near the feed hopper increased these parameters. Two melting mechanisms were observed in powder extrusion; one being the classic “Maddock” type, and the other such that the solid bed and melt pool were in reversed positions relative to the Maddock case. There was a trend for this latter mechanism to operate with low screw speeds, shallow channels and full heating. Melt initiation occurred nearer the feed end and melting was completed much more quickly with powders. An explanation of the mechanisms is proposed which is based on the observation of early melt initiation, and the industrial practices of feed zone cooling and increasing feed pressure generation to improve the performance of extruders running with powders are seen to be consistent with this proposition.

    Notes: Several rheological aspects of thermoplastic foam extrusion are described by a phenomenological model of the flow in an extrusion die. The macroscopic effects of the phase change, from a homogeneous polymer melt that contains a blowing agent, to a foam, are described in terms of two dimensionless parameters. α is defined as the ratio of the pressure gradient in the melt phase to the average pressure gradient in the foam phase. Θ represents the ratio of the pressure drop in the melt phase to the pressure drop in the foam phase. The position at which the phase change initiates, the exit contribution to the Bagley ends pressure correction, and the true wall shear stress in the melt phase are related to α and Θ. The quality of the foam produced is discussed in terms of the extrusion conditions and their effect on the foaming position in the die. It is demonstrated that the ends pressure correction cannot be neglected on the basis of a long die alone. Asymptotic conditions for which the phase change has negligible effect on the melt flow rate are predicted. α is calculated from the data of Han and Villamizar, who measured the pressure distribution in the die and observed the phase change directly. The prediction of α from theory is complicated by the lack of suitable constitutive relations for the foam phase. Since Θ only requires knowledge of the pressure at which the phase change initiates, it is relatively easy to evaluate.

    Notes: An experimental and theoretical study was carried out to achieve a better understanding of bubble dynamics in foam extrusion through a converging die. For the experimental study, a number of converging channels were constructed of aluminum, with glass windows on both sides. Bubble dynamics in the flow channel were recorded on movie film as a gas-charged molten polymer was extruded. The dies had various converging angles (30, 45, 60, 90, and 150 degrees), and the polymer was polystyrene. As blowing agent, sodium bicarbonate (generating CO2) was used. It was found that the gas bubbles moving along the centerline of the channel grow initially at the upstream end of the die, and then start to collapse as the gas-charged molten polymer approaches the exit plane of the die. In order to help interpret the experimental results, a theoretical analysis was made of bubble dynamics in a converging channel, in which a thread-like bubble was assumed to flow along the centerline of the converging channel and the Coleman-Noll second-order fluid model was assumed to describe the rheological behavior of the polymer melt. Some mathematically convenient simplifying assumptions not-withstanding, the theoretical analysis corroborates the experimental observations. The practical significance of the present investigation is discussed in connection with controlling the cell structure in extruded foam products.

    Notes: A method is given for selecting the “effective viscosity” for isothermal flow of non-Newtonian liquids in screw pumps or melt extruders. Effective viscosity is the Newtonian viscosity that would give the same screw-pump performance with non-Newtonian liquids at the same flow rate and speed. When effective viscosity is known, it can be inserted in performance equations for simple Newtonian flow. The analysis is restricted to shallow screw-pump channels with large aspect ratios and to shear stress/shear rate curves with modest curvatures when shown in a double logarithmic plot. The shear stress/shear rate curve is replaced by a power-law tangent to that curve in the domain of prevailing shear rates, but the analysis could be extended to more complex behavior. Curves are also included for calculating the efficiency of the screw-pump channel, which can be used to estimate the energy dissipated in screw-pumps. It is shown that efficiency decreases with decreasing power-law exponent.

    Notes: A process of melting individual polymer granules and then combining them into a homogeneous molten mass is examined. The granules are introduced into a high temperature fluid bath, heated as they move due to the polymer-fluid density difference and finally coalesce under the action of surface and gravity forces into a uniform polymer melt which can be used for extrusion, injection molding or other melt processing techniques. Theoretical models and analyses are presented to predict the time required to melt a granule in a particular polymer-fluid system and to have the molten granule coalesce into the developing mass of molten polymer. This latter time includes the time for the continuous phase fluid to drain between the approaching granule and the molten polymer-fluid interface and the time for the granule, once in contact with the interface, to be deposited to some specified depth in the bulk molten polymer. Design parameters for a particular embodiment of the process are presented. Experimental results obtained with a prototype device using mercury as the heat transfer medium are discussed.

    Notes: Finite element solutions are presented for developed, isothermal, power-law flow in an extruder channel, based on a variational formulation in helical co-ordinates. The success of the method in handling non-Newtonian flow in a deep, highly-curved channel is tested by comparison with experimental results. Operating characteristics were determired under virtually isothermal conditions for a screw with depth to diameter ratio 0.25 pumping an aqueous glucose solution containing high molecular weight hydroxyethyl cellulose. Shear stress and first normal stress differences of this solution were determined in a rheogoniometer. It was both highly shear-thinning and elastic. Computed and experimental screw operating characteristics agree well, except near closed discharge, where effects due to viscous heating and elasticity are tentatively suggested.

    Notes: A new technique for the electrical monitoring of polymerization reactions such as resin cure is described. The technique is based on the charge-flow transistor, which resembles a conventional metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET), but with a portion of the metal gate replaced by the resin under study. Electrical signals obtained from several resins undergoing cure are presented, along with an electrical circuit model that can account for the principal features of these signals. The dramatic change in signal shape during cure can be related to corresponding changes in both the real and imaginary parts of the dielectric constant.

    Notes: Methods of predicting and correlating thermal conductivity of polyethylene resins in solid and melt states are discussed herein. Dependence on crystallinity or density is estimated for the solid state by a form of Maxwell's equation for electrical conductivity. An equation is presented for predicting melt thermal conductivity based upon Bridgman's theory of energy transport and pressure-volume-temperature (PVT) data. The effect of pressure on melt thermal conductivity is calculated from the theory. The effect of pigmentation for near spherical particles up to approximately 2.5 volume percent is also correlated by a form of Maxwell's equation. Experimental thermal conductivities of unpigmented and pigmented polyethylene resins from 50 to 300°C are in good agreement with theoretical predictions and with literature data.

    Notes: Torsional Braid Analysis (TBA), like many other sample-supported techniques, measures the transition temperatures of a polymer deposited on an elastic support. It is shown here that any polymer transition found by the location of the maximum in the log decrement Δ (or loss tangent tan δ) of a composite shifts to lower temperatures as the rigidity (or modulus) of the elastic support is increased. The magnitude of this temperature decrease is larger for transitions at which a composite has a larger support-to-polymer rigidity ratio. In general the above conclusions hold even with unsupported systems if the rigidity (or modulus) of the sample can be increased without interfering with the polymer domain under investigation, for example, by crosslinking one of two phases of microphase-separated co-polymers.

    Notes: Recovery experiments above Tg have been performed on glass bead and short glass fiber polystyrene composite sheets obtained from extrusion and subsequent hot drawing. A shift procedure has been applied to recoil data using the Williams-Landel-Ferry (WLF) equation with the same values of C1 and C2 used for unfilled polystyrene. The data reported show that an improvement of the dimensional stability of a drawn thermoplastic material can be obtained by adding very low volume percentage of fibers. Moreover, all the recoil data have been reduced to a unique generalized master curve which takes into account the draw ratio, the filler content, and geometry, using a fractional distance from equilibrium as a measure of the recovery. These results indicate that the presence of the filler does not affect the recoil kinetics of the polymeric matrix.

    Notes: Gel Permeation chromatography (GPC) yielded high values for branching frequency. Low polymers persisting long into the reaction and impurities resulted in almost constant number average molecular weights and steeply rising polydispersity. The percent insolubles was low and passed through a maximum attributed to a 1,2,3-propantriol/isocyanate reaction product which was insoluble and became solubilized by the addition of polybutadiene. The dynamic viscosities of the products rose with conversion. When studied over various shear rates, the curves could be extrapolated to zero shear values. The relationship between zero shear viscosity and molecular weight yielded a slope of 3.5 for linear samples and a lightly branched sample prepared using 1,6-hexamethylene diisocyanate. The lightly branched samples made using 2,4-toluene diisocyanate yielded slopes less than 3.5. The highly branched samples yielded slopes well above 3.5. The moduli increased rapidly with reaction time and then levelled off. In the absence of 1,2,3-propantriol, the loss modulus surpassed the storage modulus. When 1,2,3-propantriol was added, the moduli increased more rapidly, levelled off at higher values, and the storage modulus exceeded the loss modulus. Studies of the swelling of the final product showed that these measurements yielded abnormally high values for the molecular weight between crosslinks; evidence of poor network formation.

    Notes: Cold working (rolling) of polycarbonates introduces residual stresses and molecular orientation both of which can improve, the notched Izod impact value. Annealing relieves both residual stresses and orientation. Annealing for various time periods established the critical level of residual stress necessary for the ductile failure mode of polycarbonate in the Izod impact test. The relaxation of both residual stress and molecular orientation was measured as a function of annealing temperature, for annealing times of 2 hs, and the relative changes have thus been determined. It is shown that residual stresses cannot be entirely removed without significantly influencing orientation for 2 h annealing times.

    Notes: Three aspects of the failure of thermoplastics, having a special importance in engineering, are investigated. They are: (a) Transition from linear to nonlinear viscoelasticity; (b) Crazing; (c) Fracture. Energy related criteria, developed from the Reiner-Weissenberg thermodynamical theory of strength, are used for the characterization and prediction of failure under its different forms, for simple uniaxial loading histories such as creep, stress relaxation and constant rate of strain. The computation of the stored and dissipated parts of the specific stress energy becomes possible in a relatively simple way, if the relaxation modulus and the creep compliance are approximated by Prony-Dirichlet-type series with a finite number of terms. Published experimental data, as well as experiments carried out by the author on different thermoplastics are in very good agreement with theoretical results. Further, based on experimental data, the equations obtained can be reduced to very simple and useful relations. The influence of elevated temperatures (below the glassy-transition point) on failure is also considered.

    Structural and mechanical properties of polybutadiene-containing polyurethanes (1981)

    Notes: A series of segmented polyurethanes based on hydroxylterminated polybutadienes (HTPBD) and their hydrogenated derivatives (HYPBD) has been synthesized. Thermal, mechanical, and spectroscopic studies were carried out over a wide temperature range to elucidate the structure-property relationships existing in these polymers. Both thermal and dynamic mechanical response showed a soft segment Tg at -74°C for the unsaturated polyurethanes and at -69°C for the hydrogenated samples. In addition, two hard segment transitions are observed by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) at 40 and 75°C and a softening region by thermal mechanical analysis (TMA) at 190°C. The low Tg, very close to that of the free HTPBD and HYPBD and independent of hard segment content, indicated that these polymers were well phase separated. Results of infrared analysis revealed that at room temperature, 90-95 percent of the urethane N-H groups formed hydrogen bonds. Since hydrogen bonding resides only within the hard segment domain in these butadiene-containing polyurethanes the extent of H-bonding served as additional evidence for nearly complete phase segregation. From dynamic mechanical studies, the plateau modulus above the soft segment Tg and stress-strain behavior depended upon the concentration of hard segments. A slight increase in the modulus, a moderate increase in stress (σb), and decrease in elongation accompanied a higher hard segment content. The thermal and mechanical response of these polyurethanes appears to be consistent with behavior observed for other phase segregated systems. Variations in behavior resulting from hydrogenation of the precursor prepolymer are discussed.

    An anomaly in the necking behavior of polyethylene, part 4 (1981)

    Notes: It is shown that the annealing of a high molecular weight, high density polyethylene at different temperatures ranging from 393.2 to 405.2 K influences the density of the material, the lamellar structure as studied by differential scanning calorimetry and transmission electron microscopy, and the necking and fracture behavior at constant uniaxial tensile loading in air at 313 K. In previous reports, a marked transition in the necking and fracture behavior of high density, high molecular weight polyethylene under constant uniaxial tensile loading has been reported. The nominal stress and the maximum strain rate of this transition show minima for polyethylenes annealed at temperatures of about 401 K. By combining these data with data for the lamellar structure a hypothesis that explains the necking/fracture behavior is set up. The heat treatment at temperatures from 393.2 to 403.2 K of the original non-equilibrium lamellar structure causes a molecular fractionation preferentially of low molecular weight and branched material. These segregated parts may then act as fracture initiators and thus lower the resistance towards fracture. Other structural effects such as those proposed by McCready and co-workers may also be of importance. The fracture curves at nominal stresses below transition of the materials annealed at 396.7 and 401.2 K for 24 h are shifted to shorter times in comparison with that of the non-annealed material and this can also be explained by molecular fractionation. The time to necking at 14 MPa nominal stress seems to be related to the lamellar thickness of the samples.

    Notes: Poly(vinyl chloride) and chlorinated poly(vinyl chloride) films were saturated at 100°C with fluorotrichloromethane (Genetron-11, a foaming agent) and then allowed to desorb at RT and 65°C. The desorption data for a three month period was fitted into a mathematical relationship which could be used for long term predictions of the G-11 retention in the films. Using thermoanalytical techniques, plots of glass transition temperature vs G-11 concentration were made for the polymers under study. These plots were used to demonstrate the effect of stabilizer, polymer type and temperature on the desorption of the G-11.
