A Survey of Rheological Properties of One-Component Epoxy Adhesives

Flow characteristics of seven commercially available one-component epoxy adhesive pastes were measured using a controlled shear stress rheometer and a controlled shear rate rheometer over a temperature range from 5°C to 60°C. Combining data obtained from both controlled rate and controlled stress experiments over a wide range of shear rates, we observed Newtonian flow (shear stress proportional to shear rate) at very low shear rates, a plateau “shear thinning” region at intermediate shear rates, and a second region of linear dependence of shear stress on shear rate at high shear rates. The adhesive pastes exhibited a very broad range of rheological behavior. Two flow parameters important to adhesive application technology, the plastic viscosity and the apparent yield stress, were measured for each adhesive. The plastic viscosity ranged from 11.6 to 329.5 Pa. s; the apparent yield stress ranged from 56.2 to 413 Pa. The temperature dependence of the rheological parameters of the epoxy adhesive pastes was also determined. The results are reported as the activation energies, E_η and E_σ, of plastic viscosity and apparent yield stress, respectively. The apparent yield stress of each adhesive paste was much less sensitive to changes in temperature than was the plastic viscosity. This suggests that the processing characteristics are likely to show qualitative as well as quantitative changes with temperature.

Effects of extrusion conditions on rheological behavior of acrylonitrile–butadiene–styrene terpolymer melt

The influence of temperatures and flow rates on the rheological behavior during extrusion of acrylonitrile–butadiene–styrene (ABS) terpolymer melt was investigated by using a Rosand capillary rheometer. It was found that the wall shear stress (τ_w) increased nonlinearly with increasing apparent shear rates and the slope of the curves changed suddenly at a shear rate of about 10³ s^?1, whereas the melt‐shear viscosity decreased quickly at a τ_w of about 200 kPa. When the temperature was fixed, the entry‐pressure drop and extensional stress increased nonlinearly with increasing τ_w, whereas it decreased with a rise of temperature at a constant level of τ_w. The relationship between the melt‐shear viscosity and temperature was consistent with an Arrhenius expression. The results showed that the effects of extrusion operation conditions on the rheological behavior of the ABS resin melt were significant and were attributable to the change of morphology of the rubber phase over a wide range of shear rates. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

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.     

Rheological behavior of semi‐aromatic transparent polyamide

The rheological behaviors of semi‐aromatic transparent polyamide (SATPA) melt are investigated using a capillary rheometer. The effects of shear rate, shear stress, and temperature on the apparent viscosity η_a of SATPA are discussed. A correlation of non‐Newtonian index with temperature is obtained. The results show the shear thinning of SATPA; meanwhile η_a decreases with increasing temperature and shear rate, and the viscous flow activation energy is further obtained from temperature dependence of the samples. It was concluded that the apparent viscosity η_a is sensitive to temperature at lower shear rate owing to the higher viscous flow activation energy; on the contrary, the influence of temperature effect on the apparent viscosity becomes minor at higher shear rate due to the lower viscous flow activation energy. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

On-Line Rheological Measurements and Mechanical Properties of Acrylonitrile-Butadiene-styrene/Corn Starch Composite

In this work, rheological and mechanical properties of acrylonitrile–butadiene–styrene/corn starch composites (ABS/starch) were studied. The composites were prepared using a laboratory-scale, single-screw extruder. Rheological properties were determined using the single-screw extruder, apparent shear rate (γ _a ), apparent shear stress (τ _a ), apparent viscosity (η _a ), non-Newtonian index (n), and flow activation energy at a constant shear rate (E _γ) and constant shear stress (E _τ). Mechanical properties in terms of tensile tests were performed using Testometric M350-10KN, stress at break, strain at break, and Young's modulus were determined. Rheological results showed that the composites are pseudo plastic in behavior, and the apparent viscosity of the composites increases with increasing starch content above the additive rule, which indicates a partial compatibility in the composite. It was also found that the flow activation energy of the composite increases with increasing starch content. The mechanical results showed that the strain at break of the composite decreases sharply by the presence of starch, whereas the Young's modulus increases with increasing starch content.     

Influence of time addition of superplasticizers on the rheological properties of fresh cement pastes

It is well known that the fluidity and the fluidity loss of fresh cement pastes are affected by the kind and the time of addition of organic admixtures. The influence of the time addition of two chemical admixtures, namely, melamine formaldehyde sulfonate (MFS) and naphthalene formaldehyde sulfonate (NFS), on the rheological properties of ordinary Portland and sulfate-resisting cement pastes through the first 120 min of hydration was investigated. The admixture addition was delayed by 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, and 25 min. Shear stress and apparent viscosity of the cement pastes were determined at different shear rates (3-146 s⁻¹) and hydration times of 30, 60, 90, and 120 min. The concentration of Ca²⁺ and the combined water content of the cement pastes were determined after 120 min. Yield stress and plastic viscosity values were also determined by using the Bingham model. The results show that an increase in the addition time of the admixture reduces the shear stress, the yield stress, and the plastic viscosity of the cement pastes at the early ages (15 min) as well as at later early ages (120 min). The optimum delaying time of admixture addition is found to be 10-15 min. This time does not depend on the cement and superplasticizer type.

Rheological and mechanical properties of poly(lactic acid)/polystyrene polymer blend

Properties modification by blending polymers has been an area of immense interest. In this work, rheological and mechanical properties of poly(lactic acid)/polystyrene (PLA/PS) blends were investigated. PLA/PS blends in different ratios were prepared using a laboratory scale single screw extruder to obtain (3 mm) granules. Rheological properties were studied using a capillary rheometer and the Bagley’s correction was performed. True shear rate (γ _r ), true shear stress (τ _r ), and true viscosity (η _r ) were determined, the relationship between true viscosity and (1/T) was studied for PLA70 blend and the flow activation energy at a constant shear stress (E _τ ) and a constant shear rate (E _γ ) was determined. The mechanical property measurements were performed at room temperature. Stress at break and strain at break were determined. The results showed that PLA/PS blend exhibited a typical shear-thinning behavior over the range of the studied shear rates, and the viscosity of the blend decreased with increasing PLA content. Also it was found that no equal-viscosity temperature exists between PLA and PS. The mechanical results showed immiscibility between PLA and PS in the blend.

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 properties of glass bead-filled low-density polyethylene composite melts in capillary extrusion

The melt flow of glass bead-filled low-density polyethylene composites in extrusion have been observed by using a capillary rheometer to investigate the effects of temperature, shear rate, and filler content on the rheological properties of the melts. The results show that the melt shear flow obeys a power law, and the dependence of the apparent shear viscosity, η_app, on temperature is in accord with an Arrhenius equation. At the same temperature and shear rate, η_app increases slightly with increasing the volume fraction of glass beads, but the flow behavior index decreases with increasing filler content. In addition, the first normal stress difference of the melts linearly increases with increasing wall shear stress. Good agreement is shown with the N₁ calculated with the equation presented in this article and the pressured data from the sample melts. © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Adjustable Twin‐Slit Rheometer for Shear Viscosity Measurement of Extruded Complex Starchy Melts

An online rheometer with an innovative system of height‐adjustable and independently temperature‐controlled slits was designed to measure the shear viscosity of extruded wheat bran fiber‐containing starchy materials. The range of melt pressures and temperatures, obtained with a die, could be covered by the rheometer. A close ingredient thermomechanical history in the extruder was achieved both with the die and the rheometer, while covering an apparent shear rate from 5 to 30 s^–1. Although minor technical problems remained, first rheological data were obtained and showed a pseudoplastic flow behavior for all recipes. The flow curves were fitted by a power law model. Wheat bran fiber addition influenced both the K‐ and n‐values, leading to more shear‐thinning melt behavior and an increase in true shear viscosity. Only a limited effect on these values was found in these preliminary experiments when further increasing the fiber content.     

Rheological Characteristics of Short Nylon-6 Fiber Reinforced Styrene Butadiene Rubber Containing Epoxy Resin as Bonding Agent

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.     

Rheological and solid wall boundary condition characterization of unvulcanized elastomers and their compounds

An extensive fundamental investigation of the rheological properties and solid wall boundary condition shear stress of elastomers and elastomer–carbon black compounds has been carried out. The elastomers were an emulsion butadiene–styrene copolymer (SBR 1500) and a polybutadiene. Shear flow rheological properties were measured using a newly designed sandwich rheometer, in both constant shear rate and creep modes as well as in a capillary rheometer. A constant elongation rate rheometer for elastomers was developed. Stress relaxation measurements were also carried out in the sandwich rheometer. The shear viscosity of the gum elastomers exhibits a constant very high shear zero viscosity (8 × 10⁸ Pa.s for SBR 1500 at 100°C) and decreases with increasing shear rate. The compounds exhibit yield values of similar magnitude to carbon black compounds of molten plastics. Only the SBR 1500 and its compounds were studied in the elongational flow mode. It was not possible to achieve a steady state in these experiments. An apparatus for measurement of shear stress as a function of velocity (shear rate) at a specified pressure was developed. The instrument, which we call a friction tester, was used not only to determine wall shear stress but to investigate the regime of flow and potentially determine conditions for the onset of slip. Evidence of changing flow regimes were found, and the implications discussed.     

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。
