聚合物基粘土纳米复合材料的流变行为研究

聚合物基粘土纳米复合材料具有与常规颗粒填充体系类似的流变特性 :在整个频率范围内 ,储能模量和损耗模量均随粘土含量的增加而变高 ,其频率依赖性会表现出非未端行为 :且当粘土含量超过临界值以后 ,储能模量会在低频区表现出似固体的平台发展。但与之不同的是前者在低粘土含量的条件下 (<10 % (wt) )就会表现出似固体行为或非末端行为。这些流变特性还会受到粘土的径厚比、化学特性、聚合物基体的分子结构参数和粘土与基体间的相互作用强度等因素的影响。聚合物基粘土纳米复合材料的流变行为是与其微观结构的形成和演化以及聚合物分子链在特定环境下的粘弹松弛过程紧密联系在一起的。本文综述了插层型、剥离型和聚合物分子链一端受限剥离型聚合物基粘土纳米复合材料在力场作用下的流变特性和粘弹松弛机理方面的研究进展。     

HDPE/石墨复合体系动态粘弹行为与Mooney方程改进

由于小应变条件下,动态流变行为的测定不会对材料本身的结构造成影响或破坏,动态流变研究被认为是表征填充类聚合物体系填料颗粒的分散状态的有效方法[1～3].众所周知,窄分子量分布的均相聚合物体系在低频率(ω)区域的粘弹行为满足线性粘弹关系,而填充类聚合物基复合材料的流变行为表现出特殊的粘弹特征[4～8],即在低ω区域显示出非线性粘弹行为的特殊响应.特别是所谓的"第二平台(second plateau)"现象,被认为与体系形态结构密切相关[9].     

聚乳酸/凹凸棒土纳米复合材料的结构与性能

采用熔融复合方法制备了不同填料质量分数的聚乳酸/纳米凹凸棒土复合材料,纳米凹凸棒土的加入可以显著提高聚乳酸纳米复合材料的拉伸强度和断裂伸长率.扫描电镜结果表明,凹凸棒土粒子在复合材料中实现了均匀分散.DSC曲线在降温过程中出现明显结晶峰,说明纳米凹凸棒土对聚乳酸有一定的成核作用.当纳米凹凸棒填料含量>8%时,在聚合物基体中可形成完善的网络状结构.填料粒子作为体系中的物理缠结点使得复合材料熔体的应力松弛时间延长.红外谱图显示纳米凹凸棒土和聚乳酸分子间存在较强的相互作用.我们推测,纳米凹凸棒土的加入减少了PLA基体层的厚度,使其由三维应力转变为二维应变状态,导致最大切应力可以达到剪切屈服强度,产生剪切滑移形变带,使得呈现出韧性材料性质,有效提高了材料的断裂伸长率.

采用动态流变学方法研究了三元乙丙橡胶(EPDM)高温氧化与动态粘弹响应之间的关系.在熔体状态下,EPDM的动态粘弹行为随温度升高而改变,呈现出非均相结构的流变响应特征;加入复合抗氧剂后,EPDM在一定的时间范围内,呈现均相体系的流变响应特征.这些结果表明,流变响应特征的改变与受热导致EPDM熔体氧化进而引起结构的改变密切相关.低频区域粘弹函数对EPDM结构变化具有敏感响应,2 0 0～2 2 0℃可明显观察到受热氧化导致EPDM结构的生成.     

二氧化硅分散体系在应力剪切过程中粘弹性及能耗研究

通过动态应力剪切研究了以乙二醇、丙二醇和丁二醇为分散介质的雾化二氧化硅分散体系的粘弹性以及能耗. 研究发现, 随着应力的增大, 体系都经历了线性粘弹区、剪切变稀区以及剪切增稠区. 在线性粘弹区, 储能模量(G′)、耗能模量(G′′)随着应力(σ)的增大保持不变；在剪切变稀区, G′随着σ的增大而减小, 且乙二醇、丙二醇、丁二醇分散体系的减小幅度依次递减, 而G′′基本保持不变；在剪切增稠区, G′、G′′都随着σ的增大而增大. 在所研究的应力范围内, G′′都大于G′, 体系主要体现粘性, 消耗能量为主. 同时还发现在低剪切应力区, 体系所消耗的能量(Ed)都随着最大应变(γ0)成二次方关系增长, 而在剪切增稠区, 当n=2.79、4.93、4.88时, EG/SiO2、PG/SiO2、BG/SiO2的Ed分别随γ0以指数关系增长.     

聚合物熔体壁面滑移的流变研究

用平行板流变仪研究了聚二甲基硅氧烷(PDMS)、聚甲基乙烯基硅氧烷(PMVS)、 高密度聚乙烯(HDPE)及聚丙烯(PP)的壁面滑移, 考察了应力/应变数据对平行板的间距依赖性. 稳态剪切流实验结果表明, 相对于HDPE, PMVS的滑移似乎没有临界剪切应力. 动态剪切实验结果表明, 在不同的间距下, 随着应变增大, 剪切应力数据在小振幅和非线性区前期重合, 然后在某一应变处发生分叉, 即剪切应力依赖于间距, 说明发生了壁面滑移或应变不均匀. 按照Cho等提出的应力分解方法, 在分叉点将剪切应力分解为弹性应力和粘性应力后, 考察了影响壁面滑移发生的可能因素. 发现对于4种聚合物熔体, 当发生壁面滑移或应变不均匀现象时, 存在一个无量纲参数τ'max/|G*|, 即最大弹性应力与线性区复数模量的比值在0.26~0.49范围内变化. 在此范围内, 该参数随角频率的增加而缓慢下降, 而且在较大的温度范围内几乎不依赖于温度. 因而弹性应力是导致聚合物熔体壁面滑移或应变不均匀的关键因素.     

富勒烯在聚乙烯薄膜中的分散性研究

利用分子动力学方法,对纳米富勒烯/聚乙烯复合薄膜体系进行了模拟,分析了薄膜的空间限制作用、挤压作用以及薄膜变形速率对纳米粒子在聚乙烯薄膜中分散性的影响.结果表明,纳米复合薄膜的空间限制作用阻碍了纳米富勒烯的分散;对薄膜施加单向压力,纳米粒子受到的挤压作用可以促进纳米富勒烯的分散;在挤压变形量相同的条件下,薄膜变形的速率越小,纳米富勒烯的分散效果越好.当薄膜变形速率减小到一定程度时,富勒烯的分散效果能够接近其与聚合物本体进行复合的情形.     

考虑壁面滑移的Z-W流变模型及其应用

总结了聚合物熔体在剪切溶场壁面滑移研究的成果，提出了Z－W模型的物理概念。该模型考虑了界面分子链和固体壁面间解吸－吸附而发生的滑移。界面分子链和内部分子链间解缠－重新缠结而发生的表观滑移以及变形摩擦滑移。在稳态简单剪切流运过程，模型可以化简为应力和应变的二次微分方程，说明了壁面滑移来源于Cohesive滑移和Adhesive滑移两部分，对于自激振荡相关的多重内振荡和多重外振荡进行了归纳，应用统一模型定性地解释了毛细管实验中剪切应力的非线性，瞬态自激振荡、滑－粘转换和鲨鱼皮等现象，在聚合物熔体振动剪切流动（LAOS）中，统一模型可以简化为杜芬方程，通过模拟发现，该模型可解释小应变振幅下振动剪切时的线性流变行为和在大振幅振动流动中的复杂非线性行为。非线性行为与熔体粘弹性以及近壁面界面层的性质有关，统一模型在特殊情况下还可以简化Joshi模型，结构网络模型，Hatzikiriakos或等效的Graham模型，可见，Z－W模型内内涵比较丰富，适用面较广，也从一个侧面说明该模型具有相当的合理性。     

Experimental Observations and Quantitative Predictions of Rheological Properties of Organoclay/Poly(propylene) Nanocomposites at the Startup of Shear Flows

We study the rheological characteristics of nanocomposites containing nano-sized plate like particles in a viscoelastic fluid at the startup of steady state in the simple shear flow mode. The nanocomposites of organoclay-polypropylene with different nanoclay contents were prepared by melt mixing. A rheological equation of state, originally formulated to predict the orientation state and viscoelastic behavior of suspensions of ellipsoidal particles in polymer melts, has been modified to describe the observed phenomena for the nanoclay/poly(propylene) composites. The rotational particle motion and alignment for a group of symmetric ellipsoids with the applied flow field are investigated. Additionally, model calculations of the macroscopic rheological properties for a simple flow case suggest the presence of nano-particles significantly modify the suspended fluid at volume concentrations as low as 0.5%. The model calculations for the startup viscosity are reasonably in agreement with the experimental results at the experimental range covered in this study. At the shear rate of , we observe pronounced stress overshoots at the three nanoclay loadings level tested which are found to be related to the fast alignment of the silicate layers with the shear direction in the polymer melt.     

Environmental degradation of E‐glass/nanocomposite under the combined effect of UV radiation,moisture, and rain

This study seeks to investigate how the enhanced properties of the nanoclay E‐glass/epoxy composite can withstand the combined effects of ultraviolet radiation, moisture, and rain. The montmorillonite nanoclay's affinity to moisture compounded the moisture absorption ability of the nanoclay E‐glass/epoxy composites. The moisture in the polymer structure caused delamination, debonding of the fibers/matrix, microvoids, and fiber pullouts. The high clay content (2 wt %), therefore, recorded the highest rate of degradation of 15% in flexural stress for the first 20 days, compared to about 8 and 6% loss for the unmodified (0 wt %) and 1 wt % composites respectively. However, as the aging progressed beyond 20 days, the rate of degradation of the nanoclay E‐glass/epoxy composites laminates was steady at 10 and 18%, respectively, for the 1 and 2 wt %, while that of the unmodified polymer continued to degrade progressively. On the contrary, the viscoelastic properties of the nanoclay E‐glass/epoxy composites continued to deteriorate at a faster rate than the unmodified polymer composite. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Overshoots in stress and free energy change during the flow-induced crystallization of polymeric melt in shear flow

<正>The effect of pre-shear flow on the subsequent crystallization process of polymeric melt was investigated and a flow-induced crystallization(FIC) model based on the conformation tensor incorporating the pre-shear effect was proposed. The model is capable of predicting the overshoot phenomena of the stress and the flow-induced free energy change of the polymeric system at high pre-shear rates.Under the condition of flow,the increase in the activated nuclei number was contributed by the flow-induced free energy change,which showed an overwhelming effect on the nuclei formation during the pre-shear process at high shear rates.The half crystallization time(f_(1/2)) of polypropylene(PP) as functions of pre-shear rate and pre-shear time at different crystallization temperatures was predicted and compared with the experiment data.Both numerical and experimental results showed that t_(1/2) of PP decreased dramatically when the flow started but leveled off at long times.It was found that two transformation stages in t_(1/2) existed within a wide range of shear rates.For the first stage where the melting polymer experienced a relatively weak shear flow,the acceleration of crystallization kinetics was mainly contributed by the steady value of free energy change while in the second stage for high shear rates,strong overshoot in flow-induced free energy change occurred and the crystallization kinetics was thus significantly enhanced.The overshoots in stress and flow-induced free energy change reflected an important role of flow on the primary nucleation especially when the flow was strong enough.

A RHEOLOGICAL MODEL FOR POLYMER MELTS WITH INTERNAL STRUCTURE IN FLOW FIELDS*

Conceptually, an imagined conformation ellipsoid is supposed to represent the shape of a polymerchain for polymer melts in flow fields and to be equivalent to the volume element in a mathematical sense incontinuum mechanics. A power law dependence of shear modulus of polymer melts on detC, referred to asenvelope volume, is proposed. Based on those assumptions and the non-linear relation of shear modulus, aphenomenological viscoelastic model is derived. The model is tested in simple shear flow, simpleelongational flow, oscillatory shear flow, and relaxation process after flow suddenly stopped. The resultsshow that the model works well to predict the change of internal structure and viscoelastic performance ofpolymer melts in flow fields.     

Rheological properties of polymer melts

A new method of treating experimental data on the viscous and viscoelastic properties of various polymer melts is suggested. The dependence of the apparent viscosity on the molecular weight, temperature and shear stress can be represented as the product of three independent functions, each of them having a single argument. All three functions are universal, at least in first approximation, and the dependence of the apparent viscosity on the variables indicated is determined by two parameters (glass transition temperature and critical molecular weight), characteristic of each homologous polymer series. The viscoelastic characteristics (dynamic, relaxation, creep, as well as relaxation and retardation spectra) of polymer melts are universal in shape in the linear region and contain only one individual polymer parameter, viz., maximum Newtonian viscosity. It is shown that upon normalization of certain nonlinear characteristics with respect to the maximum Newtonian viscosity, they can also be represented in the universal form.     

Predictions of Some Internal Microstructural Models for Polymer Melts and Solutions in Shear and Elongational Flows

Summary: In this work, the behavior of some internal microstructural models with different mobility tensors has been studied for polymer melts and solutions under steady and transient simple shear and elongational flows. The time evolution equations for conformation and stress tensors in the models reviewed have their root in the Generalized Poisson bracket formalism. Two different families of conformational models have been selected for this study. The first family is based on the Modified Finitely Extensible Nonlinear Elastic (FENE‐P) energy while the second uses a Volume Preserving Conformational Rheological (VPCR) model based on the Hookean Helmholtz free energy function. Several expressions for the mobility tensor based on the previously mentioned energy functions are used to obtain the models. The sensitivity of both families of models to the choice of the mobility tensors on the prediction of material functions in the transient and steady flows is discussed. Also, effects of shear rate on the material functions in start‐up and relaxation shear flows for both models are studied. The predictions of both models are compared with experimental data taken from the literature for some polymer melts. These results show that the family of VPCR models is able to predict the steady shear and elongational flow material functions in an extended range of deformation rates whereas the family of FENE‐P models can predict the behavior of only some specified polymer melts.

Poly(phenylene sulfide)/low‐melting‐point metal composites. I. Transient viscoelastic properties and crystallization kinetics

Poly(phenylene sulfide)/low‐melting‐point metal composites (PPSMs) with various loading levels were prepared by melt compounding. The nonisothermal crystallization behavior and transient viscoelastic properties were characterized by the DSC, POM, DMA, and parallel‐plate rheometer. The results reveal that the low‐melting‐point metal (LMPM) particles show nice dispersion at relative low content levels (< 30 wt %). The PPSMs composites present dual characteristics of both the filled polymer composite and polymer blend system in their transient viscoelastic behaviors, which results in occurrence of the stress overshoots with long relaxation time and nonzero residual stress especially at high shear levels. During the crystallization process, the presence of those deformable LMPM droplets facilitates the crystallization kinetics of PPS because of their flow‐promoting action. On the other hand, the LMPM has no heterogeneous nucleating effect and, only plays the role of inert filler, which results in the degradation of the crystal structure of PPS. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Anisotropic viscoelasticity of polymers

A director theory of solutions and melts of flexible-chain polymers that is based on a simple law of anisotropic stress relaxation is developed. A spectral approach is used to study its structure. The simplest equation for the director that describes the dependence of the orientation of anisotropic viscoelastic fluids on shear rate is presented. The most appropriate flows for determining the material properties of polymer fluids with a single preferred direction are discussed. In addition, a new classification of anisotropic fluids is proposed.     

Length-scale dependent relaxation shear modulus and viscoelastic hydrodynamic interactions in polymer liquids

A quantitative theory of hydrodynamic interactions in unentangled polymer melts and concentrated solutions is presented. The study is focussed on the pre-Rouse transient time regimes (t < τ(R), the Rouse relaxation time) where the hydrodynamic response is governed mainly by the viscoelastic effects. It is shown that transient viscoelastic hydrodynamic interactions are not suppressed (screened) at large distances and are virtually independent of polymer molecular mass. A number of transient regimes of unusual and qualitatively different behavior of isotropic and anisotropic hydrodynamic response functions are elucidated. The regimes are characterized in terms of two main length-scale dependent characteristic times: momentum spreading time τ(i) ∝ r(4∕3) and viscoelastic time τ(?) ∝ r(4). It is shown that for t > τ(i) the viscoelastic hydrodynamic interactions can be described in terms of the time or length scale dependent effective viscosity which, for t < τ(R) and/or for r < R(coil), turns out to be much lower than the macroscopic "polymer" viscosity η(m). The theory also involves a quantitative analysis of the length-scale dependent stress relaxation in polymer melts. The general predictions for hydrodynamic interactions in thermostated systems with Langevin friction are obtained as well.
