LLDPE在挤出加工中的弹性现象研究

使用Brabender PLD 651 挤塑仪配不同长径比、不同材质的毛细管流变口模,测定了几种LLDPE在一定温度下的挤出物胀大和熔体破裂的临界剪切应力,同时用Instron 3211毛细管流变仪做了对比实验。结果表明,毛细管口模的长径比达到一定值后,挤出物胀大随剪切速率的变化关系与长径比无关。这一长径比值又随毛细管口模材质而有所不同。对于一定长径比的毛细管流变口模,熔体破裂的临界剪切应力与挤出温度、口模材质无关。通过实验可知,采用提高口模温度、增加口模长径比或改变口模材质均能推迟熔体破裂现象的发生,从而提高了挤出加工的生产量。

PVC通信电缆绝缘料流变行为的研究

本文采用毛细管流变仪对聚氯乙烯电缆料的加工流变性能进行了研究，分析并讨论了影响ＰＶＣ流变性能的各种因素。结果表明：在试验温度下，增塑ＰＶＣ的剪切应力均随剪切速率的增加而增大，但当剪切速率增加到一定程度后，剪切速率对剪切应力的影响变小；改性剂ＰＭ－１的加入可以大大降低在相同剪切速率下的剪切应力。改性剂ＰＭ－１使电缆料的剪切敏感性减小，牛顿性增强。虽然ＰＭ－１不能改变临界剪切应力值，但却使当临界剪切应力相应的熔体粘度减小，即临界剪切速率增大，这在实际生产过程中是十分有用的，即可以提高挤出速度而不致于产生熔体破裂。分子量减小，熔体表观粘度明显减小。熔体表观粘度随温度的升高而逐渐减小。

The rheological characteristics of short nylon-6 fiber-reinforced acrylonitrile butadiene rubber (NBR) were studied with respect to the effect of shear rate, fiber concentration, and temperature on shear viscosity and die swell using a capillary rheometer. All the melts showed pseudoplastic nature, which decreased with increasing temperature and in the presence of short fibers. Shear viscosity was increased in the presence of fibers. Die swell was reduced in the presence of fibers. Relative viscosity of the gum compound was less than one at all shear rates and temperatures. Activation energy of flow of the composite-containing bonding agent was higher at higher fiber loading and higher shear rates. Die swell increased marginally in the presence of the bonding agent.     

Effect of fillers on the rheological behavior of thermoplastic 1,2 polybutadiene rubber

The influence of fillers like clay, silica, and carbon black on the rheological properties of 1,2 polybutadiene has been studied using a capillary rheometer. Silica filled compound exhibited the highest viscosity and clay filled compound the lowest viscosity at all shear rates. The effect of filler loading and temperature on the Theological behavior has also been studied. Smooth extrudates were obtained in most of the cases and die swell was lower for silica and carbon black filled compounds than for clay filled compounds. Rheograms of different 1,2 polybutadiene systems have been found to merge into a master curve using modified viscosity and shear rate functions that contain melt flow index as a parameter.     

Rheological behaviour of copoly(ethylene/octene) elastomer compunds: Effect of blowing agent and precipitated CaCO3 filler

Abstract

An experimental study of the rheological behaviour of ethylene/octene copolymer compounds in extrusion containing blowing agent has been carried out. The cell morphology development was studied using scanning electron microscopy. Rheological properties of unfilled and precipitated CaCO₃ filled systems with various blowing agents, extrusion temperatures, and shear rates were studied using a capillary rheometer. The total extrusion pressure, apparent shear stress, apparent viscosity, and die swell of the unfilled and CaCO₃ filled compounds were also determined and the effect of blowing agent on the rheological properties of the compounds studied. It was observed that there is reduction of stress and viscosity with blowing agent loading. Incorporation of blowing agent led to decreased shear thinning behaviour resulting in an increase in the power law index. The viscosity reduction factor of the unfilled compound was found to be dependent on the concentration of blowing agent, the shear rate, and the temperature.     

Rheology of Short Nylon-6 Fiber Reinforced Styrene-Butadiene Rubber

ABSTRACT

The rheological characteristics of short Nylon-6 fiber reinforced styrene butadiene rubber (SBR) were studied using a capillary rheometer. The study was done with respect to the effect of shear rate, fiber concentration, and temperature on shear viscosity and die swell. All the melts showed pseudoplastic nature, which decreased with increasing temperature. Shear viscosity increased in the presence of fibers. Introduction of fiber reduces the temperature sensitivity of the rubber matrix. A reduction in die swell was found in presence of fibers.     

Rheological behavior of a microcellular,oil-extended ethylene–propylene–diene rubber compound: Effects of the blowing agent curing agent,and conductive carbon black filler

The rheological behavior of microcellular, oil-extended ethylene–propylene–diene rubber (EPDM) compounds was studied in extrusions containing a blowing agent. The cell morphology development and rheological properties were studied for unfilled and conductive carbon black (Vulcan XC72, Cabot Corp., Ltd., Alpharetta, GA) filled compounds with variations of the blowing agent, extrusion temperature, and shear rate. The apparent shear stress, apparent viscosity, die swell (%), and total extrusion pressure of the Vulcan XC72 filled, oil-extended EPDM compounds were determined with a Monsanto processability tester (St. Louis, MO). The effects of the curing agent and blowing agent on the rheological properties of the compounds were also studied. A significant reduction in the stress and viscosity with the blowing agent was observed in the compound in the presence of the curing agent in comparison with those without the curing agent. The viscosity reduction factor was found to be dependent on the blowing agent loading, shear rate, and temperature. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci, 2008     

Effect of dynamic cross‐linking on melt rheological properties of polypropylene/ethylene‐propylene‐diene rubber blends

Study of melts rheological properties of unvulcanized and dynamically vulcanized polypropylene (PP)/ethylene‐propylene‐diene rubber (EPDM) blends, at blending ratios 10–40 wt %, EPDM, are reported. Blends were prepared by melt mixing in an internal mixer at 190°C and rheological parameters have been evaluated at 220°C by single screw capillary rheometer. Vulcanization was performed with dimethylol phenolic resin. The effects of (i) blend composition; (ii) shear rate or shear stress on melt viscosity; (iii) shear sensitivity and flow characteristics at processing shear; (iv) melt elasticity of the extrudate; and (v) dynamic cross‐linking effect on the processing characteristics of the blends were studied. The melt viscosity increases with increasing EPDM concentration and decreased with increasing intensity of the shear mixing for all compositions. In comparison to the unvulcanized blends, dynamically vulcanized blends display highly pseudoplastic behavior provides unique processing characteristics that enable to perform well in both injection molding and extusion. The high viscosity at low shear rate provides the integrity of the extrudate during extrusion, and the low viscosity at high shear rate enables low injection pressure and less injection time. The low die‐swell characteristics of vulcanizate blends also give high precision for dimensional control during extrusion. The property differences for vulcanizate blends have also been explained in the light of differences in the morphology developed. © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Rheological properties of phenophthalein poly(ether ether ketone)

The rheological properties of the novel engineering thermoplastic phenophthalein poly(ether ether ketone) (PEK-C) have been investigated using both a rotational and a capillary rheometer. The dependence of the viscosity on the shear rate and temperature was obtained. The activation energy was evaluated both from the Arrhenius and the Williams-Landel-Ferry (WLF) equation. An estimate for the proper E_η (dependent only on the chemical structure of the polymer) has been found from the WLF equation at temperatures about T_g + 200°C. Measurements of the die swell have been performed. The first normal stress differences were evaluated from the die swell results and compared with the values obtained from the rotational rheometer at low shear rates.

Rheological behavior of highly filled ethylene propylene diene rubber compounds

The rheological behavior of highly filled ethylene propylene diene rubber (EPDM) compounds was studied with respect to the effect of curative system, grafted rubber, shear rate, temperature and die swell using a Monsanto Processability Tester (MPT) to gain an understanding of the molecular parameters that control the surface finish. All systems show pseudoplastic behavior. At a particular shear rate, shear viscosity increases with blend ratio. The dependence of flow behavior on extrusion velocity indicates a surface effect. The extrudate die swell and maximum recoverable deformation are related by a linear relationship, which is independent of sulfur/accelerator ratio, extrusion temperature and shear rates and blend ratio. The principal normal stress difference increases nonlinearly with shear stress. Activation energy decreases with shear rate in most cases. The faster relaxing system produces extrudate of better surface quality.

ABSTRACT

The rheological characteristics of short Nylon-6 fiber–reinforced Styrene Butadiene rubber (SBR) in the presence of epoxy resin–based bonding agent were studied with respect to the effect of shear rate, fiber concentration, and temperature on shear viscosity and die swell using a capillary rheometer. All the composites containing bonding agent showed a pseudoplastic nature, which decreased with increasing temperature. Shear viscosity was increased in the presence of fibers. The temperature sensitivity of the SBR matrices was reduced on introduction of fibers. The temperature sensitivity of the melts was found to be lower at higher shear rates. Die swell was reduced in the presence of fibers. Relative viscosity of the composites increased with shear rate. In the presence of epoxy resin bonding agent the temperature sensitivity of the mixes increased. Die swell was larger in the presence of bonding agent.
