    Notes: The univariant element, Q1 P0, and the multivariant elements, Q1+P0 and R2+ P0, are compared for the numerical simulation of the flow in extrusion dies. The pressure distribution obtained by using the Q1 P0 element was found to be afflicted with the checkerboard pressure mode. On the other hand, the multivariant elements, Q1+ P0 and R2+ P0, gave accurate and physically reasonable velocity and pressure distributions. The computed values of the pressure drop across extrusion dies matched well with the pressure drop determined experimentally.

    Notes: The viscoelastic responses of some molten polymers, and particularly of low density polyethylene (LDPE), are known to vary with processing history. Reasons for the variations include the effects of shear history on morphological states of the polymer, or on its molecular weight parameters. A typical low density polyethylene has been used to test the shear-history dependence concept following a variety of processing steps. The polymer was sheared in single-screw and twin-screw extruders, and in a high speed melter / mixer (Gelimat). Samples also were precipitated from very dilute solutions in trichlorobenzene and in p-xylene. GPC analyses showed that, in general, these procedures did not affect the various moments of molecular weight. An exception was the Gelimat-mixed sample, for which mild reductions in Mn and Mw were noted. In contrast, melt viscosity and elasticity readings, the former from low shear evaluations and the latter from extrudate swelling, were affected by the various procedures. A drop in melt viscosity and in elasticity was observed, being most pronounced for precipitated and twin-screw extruded versions of the LDPE. Reductions also were observed in the specimen sheared in the Gelimat instrument. Following conditioning at the test extrusion temperature (170°C), viscous and elastic responses tended to revert to those of the unsheared control sample, the exception again being the sample sheared in the Gelimat melter / mixer. Of the various mechanisms proposed in the literature to account for transient property changes such as those reported, temporary changes in the degree of chain entanglement appear the most satisfactory explanation. Irreversible alterations in viscoelastic properties may be associated with changes in molecular weights due to processing at high shear.

    Notes: A model for the filling stage of injection molding of viscoelastic thermoplastics in cavities of complex shape is presented. The model considers two-dimensional melt flow, with converging and diverging flow patterns induced by complex boundary shape and by the presence of an obstacle. The model is non-isothermal (with the melt loosing heat to the mold walls as it travels into the cavity) and handles a viscoelastic (following the White-Metzner model) material with properties that vary with temperature, shear rate, and pressure. The numerical method is based on finite differences, with boundary fitted curvilinear coordinates used in the mapping of the flow field (which has an arbitrary shape that evolves with time) into a time invariant rectangle. The numerical results reveal geometry-induced asymmetries in the flow and thermal fields as well as the effect of various process parameters on the pressure and temperature profiles in the cavity. The model admits variable cavity thickness, thus allowing for a treatment of the cavity thickness as a process parameter in the simulations.

    Notes: The use of polymeric materials in building or construction applications is steadily increasing. Therefore, the potential for these materials to be exposed to fire is also increased. The understanding of the pyrolysis characteristics of these materials is thus a necessity. There are many standard tests used to evaluate materials. Unfortunately, the correlation between these tests and large scale fire is less than desirable. A new bench scale rate of heat release apparatus, the Cone Calorimeter, is now being used more frequently in pyrolysis testing of polymeric materials. This apparatus has been shown to correlate much better between room scale testing and large scale fire testing. The cone Calorimeter provides a pyrolysis profile of a material under ambient oxygen conditions. Characteristics such as ignition time, total heat release, maximum rate of heat release, mass loss during pyrolysis, CO2, CO, and smoke production are determined. In this work several almost neat polymers are examined and the general pyrolysis characteristics of these polymers are discussed. The objective of this work is to provide information of basic polymeric pyrolysis properties of these materials. Variations in the material, i.e., molecular weight, polydispersity, and residual catalysis, along with changes in testing procedures, can have dramatic effects on results. Obviously the addition of flame retardant and flame retardant packages to any of these materials will have dramatic effects on results.

    Notes: The overall isothermal crystallization kinetics for nucleated and non-nucleated isotactic polypropylene (iPP)-dotriacontane systems was investigated. Adipic acid was used as the nucleating agent. Half-time was determined via differential scanning calorimetry as a function of the experimentally controlled variables dilution, crystallization temperature, and the addition of nucleating agent. The influence of these variables on crystallization mechanism and spherulitic structure, as implied by the Avrami analysis, was determined. The influence of these variables on fold surface energy was examined by the Lauritzen and Hoffman analysis.

    Notes: The overall non-isothermal crystallization kinetics for nucleated and non-nucleated isotactic polypropylene (iPP) in dotriacontane systems was investigated. Adipic acid was used as the nucleating agent. Crystallization peak temperature was determined via differential scanning calorimetry as a function of the experimentally controlled variables iPP concentration, cooling rate, and nucleating agent concentration. The influence of these variables on crystallization mechanism and spherulitic structure as implied by the Ozawa and Ziabicki analyses was determined. The non-isothermal crystallization kinetics presented here are the first for iPP-diluent systems with and without nucleating agent.

    Notes: The static shear strength and static friction of three thermoplastics have been investigated for the case of contact between a bulk plastic sample and a very smooth metallic plate. The minimum tangential force required to shear the interfacial adhesion bonds between the two surfaces was measured and defined as the adhesion component of friction Fa. Experimental results showed that Fa is large when the surface energy is high or the interfacial energy is small and that a correlation may exist between this force and the work of adhesion evaluated from Dupré equation. The real area of contact Ar was also measured using an optical device designed to handle samples and experimental conditions similar to the static friction tests. It was found that Ar is proportional to Pa0.9 where Pa is the apparent pressure of contact and an increase of Fa with Pr was observed. The static shear strength τ has been evaluated as the ratio Fa/Ar, and its relationships with the real contact pressure P approximated by linear functions. It was concluded that τ increases at high P, although it has not been verified for ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene. An attempt has been made to explain the observed break in the data. The results indicated that (τ/τb) = κ′(τa/Pa) where b refers to bulk, a to apparent values, and κ′ is a proportionality constant that depends on the plastic material.

    Notes: A variety of different styrene monomers [styrene (S), p-fluorostyrene (p-FS), pentafluorostyrene (PFS), p-chlorostyrene (p-ClS), p-bromostyrene (p-BrS), p-methylstyrene (p-MS), p-tert-butylstyrene (p-tBS), p-methoxystyrene (p-MOS), p-ethoxystyrene (p-EOS), and p-propoxystyrene (p-POS)] have been polymerized by radical and cationic mechanisms. Copolymers of S/PFS, S/p-ClS, S/2-vinyl-naphthalene (2-VN), and S/p-phenylstyrene (p-PhS) were prepared by radical polymerization. All polymers were fully amorphous and transparent and exhibited only one glass transition temperature in the temperature range 77 to 141°C. Thin films of the polymers were subjected to external electrical partial discharges (PD). Typically, 20 PD experiments were conducted for each polymer and the data for the time to breakdown were adapted to the two-parameter Weibull distribution function. The resistance towards PD of the various polymers was found to depend strongly on the monomeric structure. Complementary PD experiments on a series of narrow molecular mass polystyrenes confirmed that the minor variation in molecular mass between the different styrene polymers is of no importance for the PD resistance. The PD resistance of the homopolymers decreased in the following order: PS ≍ P(p-MS) 〉 P(p-tBS) ≍ P(p-BrS) 〉 P(p-POS) 〉 P(p-ClS) ≍ P(p-MOS) 〉 P(p-EOS) ≍ P(p-FS) 〉 P(PFS). The time to breakdown for copolymers of S and PFS decreased monotonously with increasing PFS content. Styrene copolymers with low molar contents of 2- VN and p-PhS exhibited a higher resistance towards PD than PS. The results are discussed with reference to various properties of the studied polymers, such as segmental mobility, ionization potential, resonance stabilization, and reactivity of the radicals formed.
