The ultradrawing behavior of gel films of plain ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) and UHMWPE/low molecular weight polyethylene (LMWPE) blends was investigated using one- and two-stage drawing processes. The drawability of these gel films were found to depend significantly on the temperatures used in the one- and two-stage drawing processes. The critical draw ratio (λc) of each gel film prepared near its critical concentration was found to approach a maximum value, when the gel film was drawn at an “optimum” temperature ranging from 95 to 105°C. At each drawing temperature, the one-stage drawn gel films exhibited an abrupt change in their birefringence and thermal properties as their draw ratios reached about 40. In contrast, the critical draw ratios of the two-stage drawn gel films can be further improved to be higher than those of the corresponding single-stage drawn gel films, in which the two-stage drawn gel films were drawn at another “optimum” temperature in the second drawing stage after they had been drawn at 95°C to a draw ratio of 40 in the first drawing stage. These interesting phenomena were investigated in terms of the reduced viscosities of the solutions, thermal analysis, birefringence, and tensile properties of the drawn and undrawn gel films. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

The influence of the drawing temperature and rate on the ultradrawing properties and deformation mechanisms of a series of film specimens prepared from varying concentrations of gel solutions of ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) and low molecular weight polyethylene (LMWPE) blends is reported. The maximum achievable draw ratio was obtained when each UHMWPE/LMWPE film specimen was drawn at an optimum temperature (T
op), wherein the T
op values of each UHMWPE/LMWPE film specimen increased consistently with the drawing rate. The temperature dependence of the apparent elongational viscosity (a) revealed two distinguishable intervals with different activation energies. Coincidentally, the transition temperature (T
r) obtained from the intersection of the two straight lines drawn parallel to the two distinct intervals is approximately equal to the T
op value found for the film sample drawn at the same rate. Dynamic mechanical analysis of the film samples exhibited an extraordinary high transition peaked at temperatures near 95–115C, which are again very close to the T
op and T
r values found for the film samples drawn at varying rates, and increases significantly with the testing frequencies. Possible mechanisms accounting for these interesting deformations, temperature dependence of the apparent elongational viscosity and dynamic mechanical properties are suggested in this study. 相似文献

The influence of two‐stage drawing conditions on the ultradrawing behavior of the gel films of ultrahigh‐molecular‐weight polyethylene/low‐molecular‐weight polyethylene blends is reported in this article. The critical draw ratios (λc) of the gel films prepared near their critical concentrations were found to depend significantly on the draw ratio attained in the first drawing stage (D1r) and on the temperature utilized in the second drawing stage (Tsec). After drawing the gel films to a fixed draw ratio in the first drawing stage, each two‐stage drawn gel film was made to exhibit a maximum λc (λcmax) by drawing the drawn gel film at its corresponding optimum Tsec. In addition, the optimum Tsec was found to increase significantly with the D1r value of the drawn gel films. It is worth noting, on the other hand, that the λcmax of two‐stage drawn gel films increased consistently with an increasing D1r until its value reached an optimum value of 160. These results clearly suggest that, as Tsec and D1r are increased to their optimum values, the λcmax of the two‐stage drawn gel films can be improved further so as to be higher than those of the corresponding one‐stage drawn gel films. These interesting phenomena were investigated in terms of reduced viscosities of the solutions and by an analysis of the thermal, birefringence, and tensile properties of the drawn gel films. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

This study examined the effect of the ultradrawing behavior of gel film specimens of ultrahigh‐molecular‐weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) and UHMWPE/low‐molecular‐weight polyethylene (LMWPE) blends on their physical properties. The concentration of a gel film approximated its critical concentration at a fixed drawing temperature; its achievable draw ratio was higher than that of other blend specimens with various concentrations. Noticeably, when about 5 wt % LMWPE was added to a UHMWPE/LMWPE gel film specimen, the achievable draw ratio of the gel film increased, and this contributed to an apparent promoting effect on its anticreeping properties and thermal stability. Therefore, when ULB?0.9 was drawn to a draw ratio of 300, the anticreeping behavior was improved to less than 0.026%/day. Moreover, with respect to the thermal stability, when the same specimen was drawn to a draw ratio of 300, the retention capability of its storage modulus could resist a high temperature of 150°C, which was obviously much higher than the temperature of an undrawn gel film specimen (70°C). To study these interesting behaviors further, this study systematically investigated the gel solution viscosities, anticreeping properties, dynamic mechanical properties, thermal properties, molecular orientations, and mechanical properties of undrawn and drawn UHMWPE/LMWPE gel film specimens. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The ultradrawing behavior of ultrahigh‐molecular‐weight polyethylene/low‐molecular‐weight polyethylene film specimens prepared at various concentrations and formation temperatures was studied. The critical draw ratio (Drc) of UL?0.7 film specimens was found to depend significantly on the formation temperature used to prepare the film specimens. At any fixed drawing temperature, the Drc values of UL?0.7 specimens prepared at various formation temperatures increased significantly as the formation temperatures were reduced. In fact, with an optimum drawing temperature of 95°C, the Drc values of UL?0.7 specimens prepared at a formation temperature of 0°C reached 488, about 50% higher than that of UL?0.7 specimens prepared at a formation temperature of 95°C. These interesting phenomena were investigated in terms of the thermal, birefringence, and tensile properties of these undrawn and drawn UL?0.7 specimens. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Dimensions of conical dies were found to have a significant influence on thermal, morphological, orientation, ultradrawing, and dynamic mechanical properties of the as‐prepared and/or drawn ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) fiber specimens prepared in this study. Many demarcated “micro‐fibrils” were found paralleling to fiber direction of the as‐prepared UHMWPE fiber specimens. The percentage crystallinity, melting temperatures, orientation factor (fo) and achievable draw ratio (Dra) values of each as‐prepared UHMWPE fiber specimen prepared at a fixed length of outlet land reach a maximum value, as the entry angles of the conical die approach the optimum value at 75°. The maximum fo and Dra values obtained for each F2075‐y as‐prepared fiber series specimens prepared using the optimum entry angle reach another maximum value as their length of outlet land approach the optimum value of 6.5 mm. The ultimate tensile strengths and moduli of the drawn UHMWPE fibers prepared at the optimum entry angle and length of outlet land are significantly higher than those of fibers prepared at other conditions but stretched to the same draw ratio. Possible reasons accounting for the above interesting properties were discussed in this study. POLYM. ENG. SCI., 2013. © 2013 Society of Plastics Engineers 相似文献

The carbon nanotubes (CNTs) contents, ultrahigh‐molecular‐weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) concentrations and temperatures of UHMWPE, and CNTs added gel solutions exhibited significant influence on their rheological and spinning properties and the drawability of the corresponding UHMWPE/CNTs as‐prepared fibers. Tremendously high shear viscosities (ηs) of UHMWPE gel solutions were found as the temperatures reached 140°C, at which their ηs values approached the maximum. After adding CNTs, the ηs values of UHMWPE/CNTs gel solutions increase significantly and reach a maximum value as the CNTs contents increase up to a specific value. At each spinning temperature, the achievable draw ratios obtained for UHMWPE as‐prepared fibers prepared near the optimum concentration are significantly higher than those of UHMWPE as‐prepared fibers prepared at other concentrations. After addition of CNTs, the achievable draw ratios of UHMWPE/CNTs as‐prepared fibers prepared near the optimum concentration improve consistently and reach a maximum value as their CNTs contents increase up to an optimum value. To understand these interesting drawing properties of the UHMWPE and UHMWPE/CNTs as‐prepared fibers, the birefringence, thermal, morphological, and tensile properties of the as‐prepared and drawn fibers were investigated. Possible mechanisms accounting for these interesting properties are proposed. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci, 2008 相似文献

The roller drawing of ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene (UHMW-PE) sheets were carried out in the roller temperature Tr range of 100–140°C. In addition to the roller drawing in the solid state (Tr = 100°C), we attempted to crystallize the molten UHMW-PE sheet under the roller-drawing process (Tr = 100–140°C). The tensile and dynamic viscoelastic properties, the molecular orientation, and the microstructure of the roller-drawn UHMW-PE sheets were investigated. The mechanical properties of UHMW-PE sheets were much improved by crystallization during the roller drawing process at Tr = 140°C. The sheets roller-drawn at Tr = 135 and 140°C exhibited c-axis orientation to the draw direction and (100) alignment in the sheet plane. However, at Tr = 100°C the elastic motion of the amorphous chains induces the twinnings of lattice, which enhances the transition to the (110) alignment in the sheet plane. The dynamic storage modulus below γ-dispersion temperature showed good correlation with crystallinity and orientation functions, while taut tie molecules and thick crystallites play an important role in the storage modulus above γ-dipersion temperature. 相似文献

The influence of formation temperature on the ultradrawing properties of ultrahigh‐molecular‐weight polyethylene/carbon nanotube (UHMWPE/CNT) fiber specimens is investigated. Gel solutions of UHMWPE/CNT with various CNT contents were gel‐spun at the optimum concentration and temperature but were cooled at varying formation temperatures in order to improve the ultradrawing and tensile properties of the UHMWPE/CNT composite fibers. The achievable draw ratio (Dra) values of UHMWPE/CNT as‐prepared fibers reach a maximum when they are prepared with the optimum CNT content and formation temperature. The Dra value of UHMWPE/CNT as‐prepared fibers produced using the optimum CNT content and formation temperature is about 33% higher than that of UHMWPE as‐prepared fibers produced using the optimum concentration and formation temperature. The percentage crystallinity (Wc) and melting temperature (Tm) of UHMWPE/CNT as‐prepared fiber specimens increase significantly as the formation temperature increases. In contrast, Wc increases but Tm decreases significantly as the CNT content increases. Dynamic mechanical analysis of UHMWPE and UHMWPE/CNT fiber specimens exhibits particularly high α‐transition and low β‐transition, wherein the peak temperatures of α‐transition and β‐transition increase dramatically as the formation temperature increases and/or CNT content decreases. In order to understand these interesting drawing, thermal and dynamic mechanical properties of the UHMWPE and UHMWPE/CNT as‐prepared fiber specimens, birefringence, morphological and tensile studies of as‐prepared and drawn fibers were carried out. Possible mechanisms accounting for these interesting properties are proposed. Copyright © 2010 Society of Chemical Industry 相似文献

Sorbed water molecules in PET (around 1% in mass) lead to classic plasticizing effects, basically evidenced by a decrease of the glass transition (Tg) and of the cold crystallisation (Tc) temperatures with increasing water content. During drawing of dry PET film and depending on the draw ratio, the initial amorphous phase is oriented at first, then a strain‐induced crystallisation appears. This work deals with the conjugate effects of drawing and water sorption in PET films drawn in hot water. Differential scanning calorimetry and birefringence measurements shown that drawing performed in hot water leads to modifications of Tg and Tc without modification of the degree of crystallinity. Moreover, the formation of water clusters is observed when the strain‐induced crystalline phase occurs. 相似文献

The drawing and ultimate tensile properties of the modified PA 6 (MPA) fiber specimens prepared at varying drawing temperature were systematically investigated, wherein the MPA resins were prepared by reactive extrusion of PA 6 with the compatibilizer precursor (CP). At any fixed drawing temperature, the achievable draw ratio (Dra) values of MPA as‐spun fiber specimens increase initially with increasing CP contents, and then approach a maximum value, as their CP contents are close to the 5 wt% optimum value. The maximum Dra values obtained for MPA as‐spun fiber specimens prepared at the optimum CP content reach another maximum as their drawing temperatures approach the optimum drawing temperature at 120°C. The tensile and birefringence values of PA 6 and MPA fiber specimens improve consistently as their draw ratios increase. Similar to those found for their achievable drawing properties, the ultimate tensile and birefringence values of MPA fiber specimens approach a maximum value, as their CP contents and drawing temperatures approach the 5 wt% and 120°C optimum values, respectively. Investigations including Fourier transform infrared, melt shear viscosity, gel content, thermal and wide angle X‐ray diffraction experiments were performed on the MPA resin and/or fiber specimens to clarify the optimum CP content and possible deformation mechanisms accounting for the interesting drawing, birefringence, and ultimate tensile properties found for the MPA fiber specimens prepared in this study.

This work throws light to study the changes of optical birefringence for cold drawn high density polyethylene (HDPE) thin film at different stresses. A stress–strain device connected to a scattering optical system was used to investigate the dynamical behavior of opto‐mechanical properties at room temperature (27°C ± 1°C). Some structural parameters, optical and mechanical orientation factors, f(θ), f2(θ), f4(θ), f6(θ), Fav, P2(θ), P4(θ), fc, and fm, were calculated. Also, the distribution segments at an angle (θ), the number of random links per chain (N1), the number of chains per unit volume (Nc), and the average work per chain W′ were calculated. The average value of the maximum birefringence was evaluated. The obtained studies demonstrate changes to the molecular orientation functions and evaluated micro structural parameters as a result of the applied cold‐drawing process on (HDPE) thin film. Relationships between the calculated parameters and draw ratios were presented for illustration. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci, 2011 相似文献

The microstructure of ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene (UHMW-PE) sheets biaxially drawn in the molten state was investigated by means of wide angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD), small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and electron microscopy. The crystallographic c-axis tended to be oriented in the sheet plane by the biaxial drawing in the molten state. The microstructure of the biaxially drawn UHMW-PE was shown to depend upon molecular weight of UHMW-PE. The biaxially drawn sheet of higher molecular weight (Mv = 2,700,000) showed a fibrous structure, while the lower molecular weight sample (Mv 700,000) had a lamellar structure. The result of DSC measurements suggested that a small number of nucleating extended chain crystals was produced by biaxial melt drawing of the UHMW-PE sheet with higher molecular weight. 相似文献

Ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE)/nanosilica (F2Sy) and UHMWPE/modified nanosilica (F2Smx‐y) as‐prepared fibers were prepared by spinning of F2Sy and F2Smx‐y gel solutions, respectively. Modified nanosilica particles were prepared by grafting maleic anhydride grafted polyethylenes onto nanosilica particles. The achievable draw ratios (Dra) of F2Sy and F2Smx‐y as‐prepared fibers approached a maximal value as the original and modified nanosilica contents reached corresponding optimum values; the maximal Dra value obtained for F2Smx‐y as‐prepared fiber specimens was significantly higher than that of the F2Sy as‐prepared fiber specimens prepared at the optimum nanosilica content. The melting temperature and evaluated lamellar thickness values of F2Sy and F2Smx‐y as‐prepared fiber series specimens decrease, but crystallinity values increase significantly, as their original and modified nanosilica contents respectively increase. Similar to the achievable drawing properties of the as‐prepared fibers, the orientation factor, tensile strength (σf) and initial modulus (E) values of both drawn F2Sy and F2Smx‐y fiber series specimens with a fixed draw ratio reach a maximal value as the original and/or modified nanosilica contents approach the optimum values; the σf and E values of the drawn F2Smx‐y fiber specimens are significantly higher than those of the corresponding drawn F2Sy fiber specimens prepared at the same draw ratios and nanosilica contents but without being modified. To understand the interesting ultradrawing, thermal, orientation and tensile properties of F2Sy and F2Smx‐y fiber specimens, Fourier transform infrared, specific surface area and transmission electron microscopy analyses of the original and modified nanosilica were performed in this study. © 2012 Society of Chemical Industry 相似文献

The semi-crystalline isotactic polypropylene was drawn to λ = 6,7,8,9,11 and the drawn samples heated to temperatures between 40 and 160°C. The shrinkage of the sample with λ = 7 and 11 was measured as function of time and temperature. The effect of shrinkage is higher with the smaller draw ratio as if the drawing increased the thermal stability of the sample. With fixed ends the drawn samples were heated at a constant rate and the retractive stress observed. It increases with λ and the heating rate. At the same drawing ratio λ, the curves of the retractive stress show a maximum and subsequently drop to a substantially smaller value that increases with the draw ratio and the distance of the highest temperature of the heating from the melting point of the sample. The cooling curve of the first run almost coincides with the heating and cooling curve of the next runs if one does not surpass the maximum temperature of heating of the first run. The time dependence of the retractive stress after an inital maximum decays more rapidly to the limiting value σ∞ (T) the higher the temperature of the experiment. The limiting value σ∞ (T) rapidly decreases with T and increases with λ. 相似文献

The concentrations and temperatures of ultrahigh‐molecular‐weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) gel solutions exhibited a significant influence on their rheological and spinning properties. The shear viscosities of UHMWPE solutions increased consistently with increasing concentrations at a constant temperature above 80°C. Tremendously high shear viscosities of UHMWPE gel solutions were found as the temperatures reached 120–140°C, at which their shear viscosity values approached the maximum. The spinnable solutions are those gel solutions with optimum shear viscosities and relatively good homogeneity in nature. Moreover, the gel solution concentrations and spinning temperatures exhibited a significant influence on the drawability and microstructure of the as‐spun fibers. At each spinning temperature, the achievable draw ratios obtained for as‐spun fibers prepared near the optimum concentration are significantly higher than those of as‐spun fibers prepared at other concentrations. The critical draw ratio of the as‐spun fiber prepared at the optimum concentration approached a maximum value, as the spinning temperature reached the optimum value of 150°C. Further investigations indicated that the best orientation of the precursors of shish‐kebab‐like entities, birefringence, crystallinity, thermal and tensile properties were always accompanied with the as‐spun fiber prepared at the optimum concentration and temperature. Similar to those found for the as‐spun fibers, the birefringence and tensile properties of the draw fibers prepared at the optimum condition were always higher than those of drawn fibers prepared at other conditions but stretched to the same draw ratio. Possible mechanisms accounting for these interesting phenomena are proposed. 相似文献

Systemic investigation of the influence of the plain and functionalized carbon nanotube (CNT) contents on the ultradrawing properties of ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene/carbon nanotubes (UHMWPE/CNTs, FCy) and UHMWPE/functionalized CNTs (FCfx‐y) as‐prepared fibers are reported. In a way similar to those found for the orientation factor values, the achievable draw ratios (Dra) of the FCy and FCfx‐y as‐prepared fibers approached a maximum value as their CNT and/or functionalized CNT contents reached their corresponding optimum values. The maximum Dra values obtained for FCfx‐0.001 as‐prepared fiber specimens prepared at varying maleic anhydride grafted polyethylene (PE‐g‐MAH)/modified CNTs weight ratios were significantly higher that of the FC0.0015 as‐prepared fiber specimen prepared at the optimum plain CNT content. Tensile property analysis further suggested that excellent orientation and tensile properties of the drawn FCy and FCfx‐y fibers can be obtained by ultradrawing the fibers prepared at their optimum plain CNT and/or functionalized CNT contents. To understand the interesting orientation, ultradrawing and tensile properties of FCy and FCfx‐y fiber specimens, FTIR, specific surface area, and SEM morphology analysis of the plain and functionalized CNTs were performed in this study.

An investigation of the influence of the contents of original and modified attapulgite (ATP) on the ultradrawing properties of ultrahigh‐molecular‐weight polyethylene (UHMWPE)/ATP (FAx) and UHMWPE/modified ATP (FAmx) as‐prepared fibers is reported. Similar to what is found for the orientation factor values, the achievable draw ratios (Dra) of the FAx and FAmx as‐prepared fibers approach a maximum value as the original ATP and/or modified ATP contents reach their corresponding optimum values. The maximum Dra value obtained for FAmx as‐prepared fiber specimens is significantly higher than that for FAx as‐prepared fiber specimens prepared at the optimum original ATP content. Similar to what is found for the orientation factors and achievable drawing properties, the tensile strength (σf) and initial modulus (E) of both drawn F2Ax and F2Amx fiber series specimens with a fixed draw ratio reach maximum values as the original and/or modified ATP contents approach the optimum values, respectively. The σf and E values of the F2Amx fiber specimens are always significantly higher than those of the corresponding F2Ax fiber specimens prepared at the same draw ratios and ATP contents but without being modified. To understand the interesting ultradrawing, orientation and tensile properties of FAx and FAmx fiber specimens, Fourier transform infrared spectral, specific surface area, transmission electron microscopic and elemental analyses of the original and modified ATPs were performed.

We have studied the mechanical moduli of oriented linear polyethylene with crystallinities X varying from 0.44 to 0.63 and draw ratios λ = 1–9 by using a dynamic tensile method at 10 Hz and an ultrasonic technique at 10 MHz. Wide-angle X-ray diffraction and birefringence measurements reveal that the chains in the crystalline regions are fully aligned at λ > 4, but the degree of amorphous orientation increases steadily up to the highest draw ratio. From −180°C to the β relaxation region (near 0°C at 10 Hz) the mechanical behavior at all crystallinities is controlled by three factors: molecular orientation, weak c-shear deformation and stiffening effect of taut tie molecules. At low temperature the chain alignment in an oriented sample gives rise to an axial Young's modulus E0 which is much larger than the transverse Young's modulus E90, with the modulus for the undrawn material lying in-between. However, the results that E45 < E90 and C44 (axial shear modulus) < C66 (transverse shear modulus) imply that a weak c-shear process occurs even at low temperature. At the β relaxation where the amorphous regions are rubbery, the stiffening effect of taut tie molecules becomes prominent and leads to increases in all moduli upon drawing. For the polyethylene with the lowest cyrstallinity a strong c-shear process is activated at the α relaxation (about 50°C at 10 Hz), which gives rise to very low values of C44 and E45. This effect becomes weaker with increasing crystallinity and is hardly observable at X > 0.6. 相似文献

Amorphous poly(ethylene terephthalate) film was uniaxially drawn over a wide range of temperatures from below to above the Tg at a constant strain rate. The geometry of the deformation in macroscopic dimensions of the sample demonstrates that homogeneous deformation can be obtained when the drawing temperature (Tdef) is not lower than 69°C. The change of the cold crystallization peak temperature (Tcc) and crystallinity determined by differential scanning calorimetry and density measurement, respectively, were studied in terms of the Tdef and the draw ratio (λ). The orientation, relaxation, and crystallization during drawing were investigated as a function of Tdef as well as of λ. The results suggest that 69°C is the critical temperature at which the sample with the highest orientation and the least slippage of the molecular chain and without obvious crystallization can be obtained. © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
