Strengthening of a Polymer Interface: Interdiffusion and Crosslinking
In many industrial processes, pieces of the same polymer material are brought into contact at a temperature above the glass transition. Interdiffusion takes place across the interface and leads to a strengthening of the junction. Often, a crosslinker agent is also added in order to improve the global mechanical properties of the material, as in the formation of latex films from dispersed soluti...
متن کاملA Scaling Theory of the Competition between Interdiffusion and Cross-Linking at Polymer Interfaces
We study theoretically situations where competition arises between an interdiffusion process and a cross-linking chemical reaction at interfaces between pieces of the same polymer material. An example of such a situation is observable in the formation of latex films, where, in the presence of a cross-linking additive, colloidal polymer particles initially in suspension come at contact as the so...
متن کاملCollagen cross-linking: Strengthening the unstable cornea
Corneal ectasia, a weakening of corneal integrity, occurs both due to acquired and congenital conditions such as keratoconus. It is a progressing condition that affects both visual acuity, and corneal stability. Various methods exist for correcting this impairment, however none address the inherit pathology, an increase laxity of the corneal stroma. Collagen cross-linking, a new, minimally inva...
متن کاملInterdiffusion in a polydisperse polymer blend.
We present a theoretical description of interdiffusion in a binary blend of polymers that exhibit polydispersity in length. The diffusion equations are formulated in terms of the volume fractions and the chain concentrations of the components. This choice of variables is equivalent to the assumption that the local molecular weight distributions of the components are described by the Flory distr...
متن کاملChemical cross linking versus high energy electron beam cross linking of HDPE: electrical properties study
Cross linking of high density polyethylene (HDPE) was first performed via high energy10 Mev electron beam (EB) irradiation. HDPE was also cross linked withDicumyle peroxide (DCP).The gel content of samples was determined by solvent extraction.Degree of cross linking was evaluated by hot set apparatus; as well .In order to clarify the effectof nature of cross linking, correlation of electrical p...
