The rheological properties and flow instability are studied for binary blends composed of a long-chain branched polyethylene and a linear polyethylene. It is found that the blends containing a linear-polyethylene with high shear viscosity exhibit higher oscillatory moduli, drawdown force, and strain-hardening behavior. The blends showing the anomalous rheological phenomena show sharkskin failure in low shear rate region as compared with a pure linear polyethylene. Moreover, the blends exhibit severe gross melt fracture at low output rate. Enhanced strain-hardening in elongational viscosity and large entrance angle at a die entry will be responsible for the severe gross melt fracture for the blends. 相似文献

The elongational behaviour of polyethylene samples having different molecular structure has been tested. Elongational viscosity measurements have been carried out using the isothermal melt spinning technique. The extensional behaviour of the different samples is analysed as a function of total strain. The effect of long-chain branching on elongational viscosities is described. A comparison is presented between elongational viscosity and melt strength data.Some of the results reported here were presented at the VIIIth International Congress on Rheology, Naples, September 1–5, 1980, cf.

The rheological behavior of two metallocene linear low-density polyethylenes (mLLDPE) is investigated in shear creep recovery
measurements using a magnetic bearing torsional creep apparatus of high accuracy. The two mLLDPE used are homogeneous with
respect to the comonomer distribution. The most interesting feature of the two mLLDPE is that their molecular mass distributions
are alike. Therefore, as one of the mLLDPE contains long-chain branches, the influence of long-chain branching on the elastic
properties of polyethylene melts could be investigated. It was found that long-chain branches increase the elasticity of the
melt characterized by the steady-state recoverable compliance. The long-chain branched mLLDPE has a flow activation energy
of 45 kJ/mol which is distinctly higher than that of the other mLLDPE. The shear thinning behavior is much more pronounced
for the long-chain branched mLLDPE. A discrepancy between the weight average molecular mass M
w calculated from size exclusion chromatography measurements by the universal calibration method and the zero shear viscosities
of the two mLLDPE was observed. These observations are discussed with reference to the molecular architecture of the long-chain
branched mLLDPE. The rheological properties of the long-chain branched mLLDPE are compared with those of a classical long-chain
branched LDPE. It is surprisingly found that the rheological behavior is very much the same for these two products although
their molecular mass distributions and presumedly the branching structures differ largely.

Rheological properties of long-chain-branched isotactic polypropylene (PP) via copolymerization with a very small amount of
nonconjugated α,ω-diene monomer using metallocene catalyst system in both linear and nonlinear regions were investigated,
comparing with conventional linear and long-chain-branched PP modified at postreactor. Although comonomer incorporation was
equal to 0.05 mol% or less, it caused high molecular weight, broad molecular weight distribution, and long-chain branching.
A detailed study on the effect of diene incorporation on the polymer properties was conducted, comparing with modified PP
in postreactor. Polymer chain microstructures were characterized by gel permeation chromatography with multiangle laser light
scattering (MALLS), differential scanning calorimetry, and rheological means: dynamic viscoelasticity, step-strain, uniaxial
elongational flow measurements, and large amplitude oscillatory shear. The PP, which incorporated a small amount of diene
monomer, showed significantly improved viscoelastic behaviors. The diene-propylene copolymer containing long-chain branches
showed extremely long relaxation mode under shear and outstanding viscosity increase under elongational flow, so-called strain
hardening. The difference in microstructure of diene-propylene copolymer with modified PP with long-chain branches is investigated
by MALLS and rheological characterizations. 相似文献

Comparison of the melt fracture behavior of metallocene and conventional polyethylenes 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The influence of sparse long-chain branching and molecular weight distribution on the melt fracture behavior of polyethylene melts was investigated. Four commercial polyethylene resins were employed for this study: a conventional low-density polyethylene, a conventional linear low-density polyethylene, a linear metallocene polyethylene, and a sparsely branched metallocene polyethylene. Rheological measurements were obtained for both shear and extensional deformations, and melt fracture experiments were carried out using a controlled rate capillary rheometer. A single capillary geometry was used to focus on the effects of material properties rather than geometric factors. For the linear polyethylenes, surface melt fracture, slip-stick fracture, and gross melt fracture were all observed. Conversely, the branched PE resins did not exhibit a slip-stick regime and the degree of gross fracture was observed to be much more severe than the linear resins. These variations can be explained by the effects that long-chain branching has on the onset of shear-thinning behavior (slip-stick fracture) and the degree of extensional strain hardening (gross melt fracture). Although there is some indication that the breadth of molecular weight distribution indirectly influences surface melt fracture, the results remain inconclusive. 相似文献

The thermorheological behavior of a number of linear low-density polyethylene and low-density polyethylene (LLDPE/LDPE) blends
was studied with emphasis on the effects of long chain branching. A Ziegler–Natta, LLDPE (LL3001.32) was blended with four
LDPEs having distinctly different molecular weights. The weight fractions of the LDPEs used in the blends were 1, 5, 10, 20,
50, and 75%. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) analysis has shown that all blends exhibited more than one crystal type.
At high LDPE weight fractions, apart from the two distinct peaks of the individual components, a third peak appears which
indicates the existence of a third phase that is created from the co-crystallization of the two components. The linear viscoelastic
characterization was performed, and mastercurves at 150 °C were constructed for all blends to check miscibility. In addition,
Van Gurp Palmen, zero-shear viscosity vs composition, Cole–Cole, and the weighted relaxation spectra plots were constructed
to check the thermorheological behavior of all blends. In general, good agreement is found among these various methods. The
elongational behavior of the blends was studied using a uniaxial extensional rheometer, the SER universal testing platform
from Xpansion Instruments. The blends exhibit strain-hardening behavior at high rates of deformation even at LDPE concentrations
as low as 1%, which suggests the strong effect of branching added by the LDPE component. 相似文献

Electron beam-irradiated polypropylene undergoes chain scission initiated by the loss of a proton. The resulting macroradicals can lead to branched molecules. However, the understanding of the influence of irradiation on the branching of polypropylene is still scarce. Therefore, this paper investigates structure?Cproperty relationships in such irradiated polymers. In general, irradiation yields long-chain branches, which develop from a star-like into a tree-like branching architecture with increasing dose. These conclusions can be drawn from the relation between the zero shear-rate viscosity ?? 0 and the weight average molar mass M w as well as from the elongational behavior. 相似文献

In this work, a chain extender (CE) was added to polylactide (PLA) to improve its foamability. The steady and transient rheological properties of neat PLA and CE-treated PLA revealed that the introduction of the CE profoundly affected the melt viscosity and elasticity. The linear viscoelastic properties of CE-enriched PLA suggested that a long-chain branching (LCB) structure was formed from the reaction with the CE. LCB-PLA exhibited an increased viscosity, more shear sensitivity, and longer relaxation time in comparison with the linear PLA. The LCB structure was also found to affect the transient shear stress growth and elongational flow behavior. LCB-PLA exhibited a pronounced strain hardening, whereas no strain hardening was observed for the linear PLA. Batch foaming of the linear and LCB-PLAs was also examined at foaming temperatures of 130, 140, and 155 °C. The LCB structure significantly increased the integrity of the cells, cell density, and void fraction. 相似文献

This contribution presents a survey on the influence of long-chain branching on the linear viscoelastic properties zero shear-rate
viscosity and steady-state recoverable compliance of polyethylene melts. The materials chosen are linear and slightly long-chain
branched metallocene-catalyzed polyethylenes of narrow molecular mass distribution as well as linear and highly long-chain
branched polyethylenes of broad molecular mass distribution. The linear viscoelastic flow properties are determined in shear
creep and recovery experiments by means of a magnetic bearing torsional creep apparatus. The analysis of the molecular structure
of the polyethylenes is performed by a coupled size exclusion chromatography and multi-angle laser light scattering device.
Polyethylenes with a slight degree of long-chain branching exhibit a surprisingly high zero shear-rate viscosity in comparison
to linear polyethylenes whereas the highly branched polyethylenes have a much lower viscosity compared to linear samples.
Slightly branched polyethylenes have got a higher steady-state compliance in comparison to linear products of similar polydispersity,
whereas the highly branched polyethylenes of broad molecular mass distribution exhibit a surprisingly low elasticity in comparison
to linear polyethylenes of broad molecular mass distribution. In addition sparse levels of long-chain branching cause a different
time dependence in comparison to linear polyethylenes. The experimental findings are interpreted by comparison with rheological
results from literature on model branched polymers of different molecular topography and chemical composition.

The problem of determination of invariant material functions for elongational flows in which two components of the constant strain-rate tensor are equal is briefly discussed, and a method of its solution described. The method is based on simultaneous modeling of the elongational viscosity as measured in uniform uniaxial elongational flow, and the shear viscosity as measured in steady viscometric flow. A single integral model with a strain-rate dependent memory is used to correlate both viscosities over a given experimental range of strain rates. The procedure has been applied to a set of experimental data obtained for a low-density polyethylene melt by Laun and Münstedt. 相似文献

By generalizing the Doi-Edwards model to the Molecular Stress Function theory of Wagner and Schaeffer, the extensional viscosities
of polyolefin melts in uniaxial, equibiaxial and planar constant strain-rate experiments starting from the isotropic state
can be described quantitatively. While the strain hardening of four linear polymer melts (two high-density polyethylenes,
a polystyrene and a polypropylene) can be accounted for by a tube diameter that decreases affinely with the average stretch,
the two long-chain-branched polymer melts considered (a low-density polyethylene and a long-chain branched polypropylene)
show enhanced strain hardening in extensional flows due to the presence of long-chain branches. This can be quantified by
a molecular stress function, the square of which is quadratic in the average stretch and which follows from the junction fluctuation
theory of Flory. The ultimate magnitude of the strain-hardening effect is governed by a maximum value of the molecular stress,
which is specific to the polymer melt considered and which is the only free non-linear parameter of the theory.

Influence of molecular structure on secondary flow of polyolefin melts as investigated by laser-Doppler velocimetry 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Laser-Doppler velocimetry (LDV) is applied to investigate velocity profiles in the entrance region of a slit die. Due to
the high spatial resolution of the device and the accuracy of the velocity measurements the secondary flow patterns of different
polyolefins have quantitatively been analyzed for the first time. A linear polyethylene is compared with two long-chain branched
polyethylenes and a conventional linear polypropylene with a long-chain branched one. All materials are rheologically characterized
with respect to their viscosity functions, elasticity, and elongational properties. For the two linear materials no indication
of secondary flow is found, but the three long-chain branched polymers (two polyethylenes and one polypropylene) exhibit pronounced
vortices. Neither viscosity nor elasticity seem to be decisive for the occurrence of secondary flow. The viscosity has an
influence, however, on the size of the vortices and the velocities within them. All of the three long-chain branched polymers
are strongly strain hardening which gives rise to the conclusion that this behavior may be a necessary condition for the formation
of vortices. The linear polypropylene does not show any indication of strain hardening. The linear polyethylene, surprisingly,
is significantly strain hardening, but it becomes less pronounced with higher strain rates. As most of the deformation in
the entrance region takes place at elongational rates at which the strain hardening of the linear polyethylene is not significant,
the findings on the linear polyethylene do not contradict the hypothesis that strain hardening and vortex formation in entrance
flow may be related to each other.

Summary The viscosity and the recoverable strain in the steady state of elongation have been measured on several polyethylenes of different molecular structures. The elongational viscosity as a function of tensile stress runs through a more or less pronounced maximum in the nonlinear range whereas in the linear range the Trouton viscosity is reached. For low density polyethylenes it could be demonstrated that the maximum of the steady-state elongational viscosity and the elasticity expressed by the steady-state compliances in shear and tension sensitively increase if the molecular weight distribution is broadened by the addition of high molecular weight components. A variation of the weight average molecular weight does only shift the elongational viscosity curve but leaves its shape unchanged. Two of the four high density polyethylenes investigated do not show a maximum of the steady-state elongational viscosity, for the others it is less pronounced than in the case of low density polyethylenes. The influence of branching on the elongational behaviour of polyethylene melts in the steady-state and the transient region is qualitatively discussed.With 11 figures and 4 tables 相似文献

The significance of sparse long-chain branching in polyolefines towards mechanical properties is well-known. Topology is a
very important structural property of polyethylene, as is molecular weight distribution. The method of Fourier-transform rheology
(FTR) and melt state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) is applied for the detection and quantification of branching topology
(number of branches per molecule), for industrial polyethylenes of various molecular weight and molecular weight distributions.
FT rheology consists of studying the development of higher harmonics contribution of the stress response to a large amplitude
oscillatory shear deformation. In particular, when applying large-amplitude oscillatory shear (LAOS), one observes the development
of mechanical higher harmonic contributions at 3ω
1, 5ω
1,..., in the shear stress response. We correlate the relative intensity, I
3/1, and phase Φ
3 of these harmonics with structural properties of industrial polyethylene, i.e. polymer topology and molecular weight distribution.
Experiments are complemented by numerical simulations, using a multimode differential Pom-pom constitutive model (DCPP formulation),
by fitting to the experimental linear and nonlinear viscoelastic behaviours. Simulation results in the nonlinear regime are
correlated with molecular properties of the “pom-pom” macromolecular architecture. Qualitative agreement is found between
predicted and experimental FT rheology results. 相似文献

Isothermal melt, fiber-spinning was recently analyzed by means of a nonlinear, integral, constitutive equation that incorporates shear history effects, spectrum of relaxation times, shear-thinning, and extension thinning or thickening when either the drawing force or the draw ratio is specified. The predictions agreed with experimental data on spinning of polystyrene, low-density polyethylene, and polypropylene melts. The predicted apparent elongational viscosity along the threadline (which, as shown in this work, must be identical to that measured experimentally by fiber spinning type of elongational rheometers) is compared with the true elongational viscosity predicted by the same constitutive equation under well-defined experimental conditions of constant extension rate, independent of any strain history. It is concluded that the apparent elongational viscosity, as measured by fiber-spinning, approaches the true elongational viscosity at low Weissenberg numbers (defined as the product of the liquid's relaxation time multiplied by the extension rate). At moderate Weissenberg numbers, the two viscosities may differ by an order of magnitude and their difference grows even larger at high Weissenberg numbers. 相似文献

In a Rheotens experiment, the tensile force needed for elongation of an extruded filament is measured as a function of the draw ratio. For thermo-rheologically simple polymer melts, the existence of Rheotens-mastercurves was proved by Wagner, Schulze, and Göttfert (1995). Rheotens-mastercurves are invariant with respect to changes in melt temperature and changes in the average molar mass. By use of purely viscous models, we convert Rheotens-mastercurves of a branched and a linear polyethylene melt to elongational viscosity as a function of strain rate. The resulting elongational viscosity from constant force extension experiments is found to be in general agreement with what is expected as steady-state viscosity of polyethylene melts measured in either constant strain-rate or constant stress mode.Dedicated to Prof. Dr. J.

Viscous and elastic properties of a linear polypropylene (PP) and a long-chain branched low-density polyethylene (LDPE) have
been investigated by creep and creep–recovery experiments in shear and elongation. The data obtained verify the ratios between
the linear values of the viscosities and the steady-state elastic compliances in shear and elongation predicted by the theory
of linear viscoelasticity. In the nonlinear range, no simple correlation between the viscous behaviour in shear and elongation
exists. The elongational viscosity of the PP decreases with increasing stress analogously to the shear thinning observed;
the linear range extends to higher stresses in elongation than in shear, however. The LDPE shows thinning in shear and strain
hardening in elongational flow. For the LDPE, a linear steady-state elastic tensile compliance corresponding to one third
of the linear steady-state elastic compliance in shear was determined. For the PP, this theoretically predicted value is approximately
reached. Analogous to the viscous behaviour, the linear range extends to higher stresses in elongation than in shear. For
both materials, the steady-state elastic compliances in the nonlinear range decrease with increasing stress in shear as well
as in elongation. However, the decrease in elongation is more pronounced. 相似文献

Several years ago, Münstedt and Laun reported on the influence of branching on the elongational flow properties of polymer chains (Münstedt and Laun, 1981). They concluded that, in addition to the molecular weight distribution, the degree of branching strongly affects the degree of strain thickening of the elongational viscosity in such a way that the maximum in this material function increases with branching. In a recent paper by Lin, a ternary system of dodecyldimethylamine oxide-sodium laureth sulphate-sodium chloride surfactant solutions was investigated by CryoTEM and rheology (Lin, 1996). He reported a linear relation between the added sodium chloride and the branching of the wormlike micelles. In this paper we present an investigation of these surfactant solutions in elongational flow. Our results indicate that for branched micellar systems the presence of branching enhances the maximum of the elongational viscosity in the same manner as in the case of polymer melts. 相似文献
