Studies on high density polyethylene (HDPE) functionalized by ultraviolet irradiation and its application

The structure and properties of high density polyethylene (HDPE) functionalized by ultraviolet irradiation at different light intensities in air were studied by electron analysis, FTIR spectroscopy, contact angle with water, differential scanning calorimetry and mechanical properties measurement. The results show that oxygen‐containing groups such as C?O, C—O and C(?O)O were introduced onto the molecular chain of HDPE following irradiation, and the rate and efficiency of HDPE functionalization increased with enhancement of irradiation intensity. After irradiation, the melting temperature, contact angle with water and notched impact strength of HDPE decreased, the degree of crystallinity increased, and their variation amplitude increased with irradiation intensity. Compared with HDPE, the yield strength of HDPE irradiated at lower light intensity (32 W m^?2 and 45 W m^?2) increases monotonically with irradiation time, and the yield strength of HDPE irradiated at higher light intensity (78 W m^?2) increases up to 48 h and then decreased with further increase in irradiation time. The irradiated HDPE behaved as a compatibilizer in HDPE/polycarbonate (PC) blends, and the interface bonding between HDPE and PC was ameliorated. After adding 20 wt% HDPE irradiated at 78 W m^?2 irradiation intensity for 24 h to HDPE/PC blends, the tensile yield strength and notched Izod impact strength of the blend were increased from 26.3 MPa and 51 J m^?1 to 30.2 MPa and 158 J m^?1, respectively.

Flow stress of high density polyethylene and nylon 66 at high rates of strain

Measurement of the flow stress of high density polyethylene (HDPE) and nylon 66 at strain rates of 10³ s^?1 using a split Hopkinson pressure bar technique is discussed. The flow stress at a strain of 10% has been determined for both polymers at 20°C. The intrinsic errors involved in this technique are briefly reviewed. The results indicate that the flow stress of HDPE and nylon 66 were 50MPa and 150MPa, respectively, at strain rates of about 10³s^?1.     

高温超高压处理HDPE的WAXD及FT－IR研究

用ＷＡＸＤ和ＦＴ－ＩＲ对高温超高压处理前后的ＨＤＰＥ进行了研究。发现经５．０ＧＰａ的高压处理或２００℃下４．０ＧＰａ的高压同时处理后的ＨＤＰＥ分子链的化学结构未发生变化。ＨＤＰＥ晶体中（２００）面与（１１０）面衍射峰的峰高比（γ）随着压力的升高而增大，表明ＨＤＰＥ分子链在超高压作用下发生了取向排列，且升高温度更有利于这种取向排列，但当压力增大至５．０ＧＰａ及温度升高至２００℃时，γ反而大幅度下降。     

填充HDPE复合材料基体结晶形态的控制因素

本文以HDPE/玻璃微珠和HDPE/CaCO₃体系为研究模型,通过扫描电镜、红外光谱、偏光显微、小角激光散射和材料力学性能实验等方法考察了这两种体系的界面粘结性、填料含量、粒径及试样成型冷却速率等与其材料性能及基体结晶形态变化间的关系。实验结果表明;在复合材料试样成型过程中,因基体树脂冷却收缩而产生的界面应力可干扰基体中球晶的生长环境,应变诱导填料颗粒周围基体树脂的结晶,促使其表面伸展链晶体结构的形成,并由此而明显改变了复合材料的耐热性;复合材料的界面粘结性是产生这种应变诱导作用,并控制异相结晶的关键。

High density polyethylene (HDPE): Experiments and modeling

The uniaxial tension (loading and unloading), creep and relaxation experiments on high density polyethylene (HDPE) have been carried out at room temperature. The stress–strain behavior of HDPE under different strain rates, creep (relaxation) behavior at different stress (strain) levels have been investigated. These experimental results are used to compare the simulation results of a unified state variable theory, viscoplasticity theory based on overstress (VBO) and a macro-mechanical constitutive model for elasto-viscoplastic deformation of polymeric materials developed by Boyce et al. (Polymer 41:2183–2201, 2000). It is observed that elasto-viscoplasticity model by Boyce et al. (Polymer 41:2183–2201, 2000) is not good enough to simulate stress–strain, creep and relaxation behaviors of HDPE. However, the aforementioned behaviors can be modeled quantitatively by using VBO model.
