Description of Extrudate Swell for Polymer Nanocomposites
Extrudate swell is often observed to be weakened in nanocomposites compared to the pure polymer matrix. A theory quantifying this would be significant either for optimum processing or for understanding their viscoelasticity. A unified extrudate swell correlation with material properties and capillary parameters was suggested for polymer melt and their nanocomposites when considering the reservo...
متن کاملThe influence of branching efficiency on the rheology and morphology of melt state long chain branched polypropylene/polybutene-1 blends
In this study, the compatibility of the blends of polypropylene (PP) and polybutene-1(PB-1) homopolymer before and after long chain branching process were studied. The blends were prepared and long-chain branched directly via reactive extrusion process in presence of free radical initiator and trimethylolpropane tri methacrylate (TMPTMA) poly functional monomer. The optimum percentage of TMPTMA...
متن کاملInfluence of Surface Cooling on Extrudate Swell - a Numerical Study
Influence of convective cooling at the extrudate’s free surfaces on its own swelling behaviour is examined numerically when viscous fluids of a Newtonian type are extruded. In circular die extrusion, increasing the surface heat transfer coefficient h increases extrudate’s thickness swell at low Nahme-Griffith number Na; at high Na, however, this trend tends to be reversed. With annular dies, a ...
متن کاملExtensional-flow-induced crystallization of isotactic polypropylene
A filament stretching extensional rheometer with a custom-built oven was used to investigate the effect of uniaxial flow on the crystallization of polypropylene. Prior to stretching, samples were heated to a temperature well above the melt temperature to erase their thermal and mechanical histories and the Janeschitz-Kriegl protocol was applied. The samples were stretched at extension rates in ...
متن کاملHigh-pressure crystallization of isotactic polypropylene droplets
Dispersions of isotactic polypropylene (PP) particles in polystyrene (PS) were produced by interfacially driven breakup of nanolayers in multilayered systems that were fabricated by means of layer-multiplying coextrusion. The droplet size was controlled by the individual PP layer thickness ranging from 12 to 200 nm. In addition, PP was melt blended with PS to produce PP droplets larger than tho...
