Deformation behavior and mechanical properties of hard elastic and porous films of polyethylene

Hard elastic samples of linear polyethylene were prepared by melt extrusion at a high velocity of the melt flow and by subsequent annealing of crystallized samples. The deformation behavior of hard elastic samples obtained by annealing of as-spun samples at different temperatures has been analyzed at uniaxial extension resulting in formation of porous structure. Mechanical properties of microporous films in the longitudinal and transverse directions have been investigated. Composite systems consisting of a microporous polyethylene film and a thin layer of an electroconducting polymer have been prepared. Mechanical properties of composite systems, such as elastic modulus, tensile strength, and break elongation, have been compared with the properties of polyethylene substrates.     

Influence of process parameters on microstructure and mechanical properties of starch-cellulose acetate/silver sulfadiazine matrices prepared by melt extrusion

Starch-cellulose acetate matrices containing silver sulfadiazine were produced using melt extrusion for application in drug delivery devices (DDDs). The influence of the extrusion parameters (screw speed and temperature) on the morphological and mechanical properties of the matrices was evaluated at three different levels. The microstructural characterization of all matrices showed that an increase in the screw speed enhances the porosity and drug dispersion, while an increase in the extrusion temperature decreases the pore diameter of the matrices. Mechanical results did not show significant differences between the elastic modulus values for the matrices; however, a faster screw speed led to higher ultimate strength and strain at failure values. Results obtained in the dynamic mechanical analysis showed that the glass transition and loss tangent (tan δ) peak values became higher with increasing screw speed and temperature.     

Hydrostatic extrusion of linear polyethylene: Effects of extrusion temperature and polymer grade

The hydrostatic extrusion behavior of linear polyethylene has been examined for two homopolymers of very different molecular weight characteristics and for a copolymer. Good unflawed extrudates could be obtained in all cases, and the extrusion behavior at a fixed temperature correlated well with the melt flow index. Although the maximum values of axial Young's modulus obtainable from the higher molecular weight homopolymer and the copolymer were lower than those possible for the lower molecular weight homopolymer, such materials do show improvements in creep behavior which could be advantageous. The effect of temperature on the extrusion behavior is discussed; the results suggest that for each grade of polymer there is an optimum temperature for effective extrusion, i.e., extrusion which gives optimum modulus enhancement. Finally, the melting behavior and the temperature dependence of the axial Young's moduli of the extrudates are considered in terms of our present knowledge of the structure of these high modulus materials.     

Electrospinning P(LLA-CL) Nanofiber: A Tubular Scaffold Fabrication with Circumferential Alignment

In this paper a synthetic Poly(L-lactic-co-ϵ-caprolactone) [P(LLA-CL)] (75:25) copolymer has been fabricated into a nanofibrous structure by electrospinning. The polymer crystal structure has been investigated by DSC and x-ray diffraction method. During electrospinning at room temperature, a crystallization of LLA sequence in the P(LLA-CL) copolymer could not form, while a relatively regular arrangement of CL sequence was observed. In order to obtain a tubular scaffold, a rotating mandrel was designed to collect the fiber, so that the tubular scaffold can be retrieved from the mandrel with an inner diameter same as that of the outer diameter of the mandrel. An auxiliary electrode with a sharp edge and a negative charge was set under the mandrel to guide the fiber deposition on the mandrel. When the sharp edge bar was vertical to the rotating axle of the mandrel and just beneath the spinning nozzle, nanofibers with circumferential alignment were obtained. With this method it is possible to obtain a tubular scaffold with suitable fiber alignment for blood vessel tissue engineering.     

Orientation Effects in Hybrid-Polymer Mixtures

Composites based on melts of boron-oxide oligomer (BOO) and low-density polyethylene (LDPE) in the polyoxide-concentration range of 0–64 vol % were synthesized. The measurements of the thermomechanical and mechanical properties of the composites showed the incompatibility of the mixture components. The abnormal increase in the strength and the Young’s modulus of the LDPE/boron-oxide oligomer mixtures under the tension of molded composite specimens was registered in the range of 25–50 vol % polyoxide. The anomalies were explained as being due to polyoxide-fiber formation and confirmed by the electron-microscopy images. The abnormal changes in the differential pressure in a melt flow and the torque of an extrusion auger were observed in the same polyoxide-concentration range, which was explained by the polyoxide orientation in a melt flow and its planar structure. The chemical structure of boron-oxide oligomer exposed to extrusion mixing and its distribution within a molded specimen of the mixture were analyzed by IR spectroscopy. The opportunity to synthesize hydrolytically stable composites in a wide range of ratios owing to the polyoxide encapsulation in a polyethylene matrix was shown.     

Extrusion,fiber formation,and characterization of thermotropic copolyesters

The flow behavior and the effect of the spinning conditions on the fiber properties and structure of poly(ethylene terephthalate) modified with 60 mol% p-hydroxybenzoic acid (PET/60PHB) were investigated. PET and its copolyesters with 28 and 80 mol% PHB were used as control samples. The melt of PET/60PHB at temperatures above 265°C exhibited extremely low viscosity and low flow activation energy. High birefringence, indicating the presence of a mesophase, was observed between 265 and 300°C on a hot-stage polarizing light microscope. The maximum tensile strength and initial modulus, 438 MPa and 37 GPa, respectively, were obtained at 275°C for a 0.69 IV polymer. The fiber strength and modulus were significantly lowered when extrusion was conducted at temperatures below 265°C. The fiber properties could also be improved when a high extrusion rate and/or a high draw down ratio was used. Scanning electron microscopy revealed that the fibers spun at temperatures above 265°C had a well-developed, highly oriented fibrillar structure. The fibers spun at lower temperatures, however, were poorly oriented and nonfibrillar in character. The high orientation and superior mechanical performance achieved at high temperatures were attributed to the presence of the nematic mesophase in the polymer melt.     

Recent developments in oriented polymers for biomedical and engineering applications

A review is presented of recent research at Leeds University which has been directed at devising novel methods for the production of oriented polymer structures. First, the new hot compaction process for oriented fibre and tapes is described, together with its applications to polyethylene and polypropylene where there are a number of practical developments. Secondly, there is the use of hydrostatic extrusion to make load bearing oriented products from hydroxyapatite filled polyethylenes. The production routes include the application of high pressure annealing prior to hydrostatic extrusion and the preparation of high modulus polyethylene fibre/hydroxyapatite billets as the starting point. Finally, recent progress on die-drawing as a means to producing oriented monofilaments and biaxially oriented tubes is described, where the applications include polymer ropes, pipes for gas and water distribution and transparent cans for packaging.     

Side Chain Extension of Polypropylene by Aliphatic Diamine and Isocyanate

A post-reaction modification of polypropylene by which to obtain increased melt strength is by reactive extrusion of randomly functionalized PP with polyfunctional monomers. In this study, reactive melt processing of maleated polypropylene (PP-g-MA) with poly[methylene (phenylene isocyanate)] (PMPI), hexamethylene diamine (HMDA), and poly(propylene glycol)-bis-(2-propylamine) (Jeffamine D-400) was carried out. The resulting chain-extended PP-g-MA was confirmed by FTIR analysis. Its thermal and rheological properties were also measured. HMDA and D-400 react with both the carboxylic acid and anhydride form of MA. Though PMPI only reacts with the carboxylic acid of MA, PP-g-MA reacted with PMPI has higher gel content and storage modulus compared to PP-g-MA reacted with the amine. This is because of the higher functionality of PMPI and localized reaction between the isocyanate in PMPI and the carboxylic acid in PP-g-MA.     

Fiber property and structure development of polyester blend fibers reinforced with a thermotropic liquid‐crystal polymer

Ternary blend fibers (TBFs), based on melt blends of poly(ethylene 2,6‐naphthalate), poly(ethylene terephthalate), and a thermotropic liquid‐crystal polymer (TLCP), were prepared by a process of melt blending and spinning to achieve high‐performance fibers. The reinforcement effect of the polymer matrix by the TLCP component, the fibrillar structure with TLCP fibrils of high aspect ratios, and the development of more ordered and perfect crystalline structures by an annealing process resulted in the improvement of the tensile strength and modulus for the TBFs. An increase in the apparent crystallite size with the spinning speed was attributed to the development of larger crystallites and more ordered crystalline structures in the annealed TBFs. The birefringence and density of the TBFs increased with increasing spinning speed, the TBFs becoming more oriented and the crystal packing becoming more enhanced. The molecular orientation was an important factor in determining the tensile strength and modulus of the TBFs. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Polym Sci Part B: Polym Phys 42: 395–403, 2004
