基于POLYFLOW模拟不同微孔形状及拉伸速率的共挤出流动

以聚酰胺6(PA6)和聚对苯二甲酸乙二醇酯(PET)两种聚合物为原料,应用POLYFLOW软件模拟并列型PA6/PET熔体共挤出过程的现象,讨论了2种熔体在不同入口角、不同长径比的微孔结构下的挤出胀大比的变化规律。结果表明:长径比较小时,入口角对挤出胀大比有一定的影响;长径比较大时,入口角对挤出胀大比几乎没有影响;随着长径比的增加,挤出胀大比逐渐减小。随着拉伸速率的增加,挤出胀大比减少;拉伸速率过大时,容易产生熔体破裂,因此,适当的拉伸速率可以减小挤出胀大比。     

EPDM橡胶的流变特性实验研究

为了研究橡胶熔体流变性能对其加工成型的影响，利用毛细管流变仪对三元乙丙橡胶（EPDM）的流变特性进行了实验研究。实验结果表明：EPDM橡胶在毛细管挤出时，剪切速率对剪切应力、剪切粘度和挤出胀大的影响最大；挤出温度对三者有一定的影响；在长径比相同时，毛细管半径对剪切应力和剪切粘度几乎没有影响，但对挤出胀大影响较大。     

高填充性聚丙烯基纳米复合材料挤出胀大行为研究

使用毛细管流变仪考察了3种高填充聚丙烯（PP）纳米复合材料的挤出胀大行为,研究了口模温度、剪切速率、熔体压力、纳米粒子填充比例和纳米粒子形貌对PP纳米复合材料熔体挤出胀大比的影响。结果表明,3种PP纳米复合体系熔体的挤出胀大比均随口模温度的增加而减小,且大致呈线性关系;随着剪切速率的增大而增加,且随着填料填充比例的增加有减小的趋势;随着熔体压力的增大而增加,并且随着熔体压力的增加,其挤出胀大比随填料填充比例的增加而减小的幅度下降;3种颗粒形貌纳米粒子填充体系中,在相同的体积分数和温度下,片状结晶纳米氢氧化镁［Mg（OH）2］填充体系熔体挤出胀大比最小,球状纳米碳酸钙（CaCO3）填充体系熔体挤出胀大比最大,棒状粒子埃洛石纳米管（HNTs）填充体系熔体挤出胀大比介于两者之间。     

EPDM/PP热塑性弹性体的制备及其流变特性

以聚丙烯(PP)和三元乙丙橡胶(EPDM)等为原料,采用完全动态硫化共混技术制备EPDM/PP热塑性弹性体(TPV),使用毛细管流变仪对TPV熔体的流变特性进行测试。分别研究了剪切速率、挤出温度对黏度、剪切应力和挤出胀大比的影响,以及不同条件下熔体流过毛细管口模时流速对压力降的影响。结果表明,TPV熔体是假塑性流体,其剪切应力随剪切速率增大而增大,随挤出温度的升高而降低;黏度随剪切速率和挤出温度的增大而降低;挤出胀大比则随剪切速率和挤出温度的增大而增大;毛细管口模的压力降也随流速和毛细管口模长度的增大而增大。     

内胎胶料的挤出胀大行为

用Monsanto毛细管流变仪,在100～130 ℃及流动速率1.02～254.00 mm/min的条件下,考察了内胎胶料的挤出胀大行为.结果表明,在一定温度下,挤出胀大比(B)随着壁面表观剪切速率的增加而增大,两者之间呈非线性函数关系,而B与壁面剪切应力则大致上呈线性函数关系;当表观剪切速率一定时,B随着温度的升高而非线性下降.在一定的挤出条件下,B随着流道直径比的增加而有所增大,两者之间近似呈线性函数关系.

采用毛细管流变仪对含炭黑聚对苯二甲酸乙二醇酯(PET)切片的流变性能进行研究,并与普通PET切片的流变性能进行比较。结果表明:在一定的测试温度下,含炭黑PET熔体为剪切变稀的假塑性非牛顿流体;随温度的升高,含炭黑PET熔体的表观黏度逐渐下降,非牛顿指数逐渐增大;含炭黑PET熔体的黏流活化能随剪切速率的增大而逐渐减小;在含炭黑PET的纺丝过程中,可以通过升高温度、提高剪切速率来改善熔体的流动性能。     

LDPE熔体在圆锥型短口模挤出过程的粘弹行为研究

主要研究不同入口圆锥角短口模流道挤出流动过程中聚合物熔体的粘弹特性,以及在口模流动过程压力损失,入口弹性贮能和挤出胀大比之间的关系。对于不同的口模入口角,有不同的剪切速率与剪切应力的规律,流变曲线各自不同。同时,不同的圆锥入口角,表现出不同的Bagley校正因子对应不同的挤出胀大值,反映了聚合物熔体在不同圆锥入口角短口模挤出过程拉伸弹性形变特性的差异。聚合物熔体在不同入口圆锥角短口模挤出流动过程的压力降,依赖口模流道的几何形状(入口角、长径比)、温度、流动速率等,入口损失主要归因于拉伸形变的弹性贮能。

Direct observation of freeze-thaw instability of latex coatings via high pressure freezing and cryogenic SEM

Despite its industrial importance, the subject of freeze-thaw (F/T) stability of latex coatings has not been studied extensively. There is also a lack of fundamental understanding about the process and the mechanisms through which a coating becomes destabilized. High pressure (2100 bar) freezing fixes the state of water-suspended particles of polymer binder and inorganic pigments without the growth of ice crystals during freezing that produce artifacts in direct imaging scanning electron microscopy (SEM) of fracture surfaces of frozen coatings. We show that by incorporating copolymerizable functional monomers, it is possible to achieve F/T stability in polymer latexes and in low-VOC paints, as judged by the microstructures revealed by the cryogenic SEM technique. Particle coalescence as well as pigment segregation in F/T unstable systems are visualized. In order to achieve F/T stability in paints, latex particles must not flocculate and should provide protection to inorganic pigment and extender particles. Because of the unique capabilities of the cryogenic SEM, we are able to separate the effects of freezing and thawing, and study the influence of the rate of freezing and thawing on F/T stability. Destabilization can be caused by either freezing or thawing. A slow freezing process is more detrimental to F/T stability than a fast freezing process; the latter actually preserves suspension stability during freezing.

Gordon Best Paper Competition.     

Ethanol and (−)-α-Pinene: Attractant Kairomones for Bark and Ambrosia Beetles in the Southeastern US

In 2002–2004, we examined the flight responses of 49 species of native and exotic bark and ambrosia beetles (Coleoptera: Scolytidae and Platypodidae) to traps baited with ethanol and/or (−)-α-pinene in the southeastern US. Eight field trials were conducted in mature pine stands in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, and South Carolina. Funnel traps baited with ethanol lures (release rate, about 0.6 g/day at 25–28°C) were attractive to ten species of ambrosia beetles (Ambrosiodmus tachygraphus, Anisandrus sayi, Dryoxylon onoharaensum, Monarthrum mali, Xyleborinus saxesenii, Xyleborus affinis, Xyleborus ferrugineus, Xylosandrus compactus, Xylosandrus crassiusculus, and Xylosandrus germanus) and two species of bark beetles (Cryptocarenus heveae and Hypothenemus sp.). Traps baited with (−)-α-pinene lures (release rate, 2–6 g/day at 25–28°C) were attractive to five bark beetle species (Dendroctonus terebrans, Hylastes porculus, Hylastes salebrosus, Hylastes tenuis, and Ips grandicollis) and one platypodid ambrosia beetle species (Myoplatypus flavicornis). Ethanol enhanced responses of some species (Xyleborus pubescens, H. porculus, H. salebrosus, H. tenuis, and Pityophthorus cariniceps) to traps baited with (−)-α-pinene in some locations. (−)-α-Pinene interrupted the response of some ambrosia beetle species to traps baited with ethanol, but only the response of D. onoharaensum was interrupted consistently at most locations. Of 23 species of ambrosia beetles captured in our field trials, nine were exotic and accounted for 70–97% of total catches of ambrosia beetles. Our results provide support for the continued use of separate traps baited with ethanol alone and ethanol with (−)-α-pinene to detect and monitor common bark and ambrosia beetles from the southeastern region of the US.     

Methyl 2,4,6-decatrienoates Attract Stink Bugs and Tachinid Parasitoids

Halyomorpha halys (Stål) (Pentatomidae), called the brown marmorated stink bug (BMSB), is a newly invasive species in the eastern USA that is rapidly spreading from the original point of establishment in Allentown, PA. In its native range, the BMSB is reportedly attracted to methyl (E,E,Z)-2,4,6-decatrienoate, the male-produced pheromone of another pentatomid common in eastern Asia, Plautia stali Scott. In North America, Thyanta spp. are the only pentatomids known to produce methyl 2,4,6-decatrienoate [the (E,Z,Z)-isomer] as part of their pheromones. Methyl 2,4,6-decatrienoates were field-tested in Maryland to monitor the spread of the BMSB and to explore the possibility that Thyanta spp. are an alternate host for parasitic tachinid flies that use stink bug pheromones as host-finding kairomones. Here we report the first captures of adult and nymph BMSBs in traps baited with methyl (E,E,Z)-2,4,6-decatrienoate in central Maryland and present data verifying that the tachinid, Euclytia flava (Townsend), exploits methyl (E,Z,Z)-2,4,6-decatrienoate as a kairomone. We also report the unexpected finding that various isomers of methyl 2,4,6-decatrienoate attract Acrosternum hilare (Say), although this bug apparently does not produce methyl decatrienoates. Other stink bugs and tachinids native to North America were also attracted to methyl 2,4,6-decatrienoates. These data indicate there are Heteroptera in North America in addition to Thyanta spp. that probably use methyl 2,4,6-decatrienoates as pheromones. The evidence that some pentatomids exploit the pheromones of other true bugs as kairomones to find food or to congregate as a passive defense against tachinid parasitism is discussed.
