LDPE synthesized under two-phase conditions is known to have a good balance of blown film properties. Good optical properties and high impact strength are characteristic for two-phase LDPE grades. In order to obtain systematic information, LDPE was synthesized at several different pressures with two different melt index levels. Blown film was extruded at different output rates and melt temperatures. The influence on haze and dart drop impact was studied. Two-phase conditions were found to improve haze and dart drop impact and the improvement was impressive, especially for the low melt index grades. By increasing the output rate, the dart drop values were further improved. The influence of melt temperature on dart drop impact goes through an optimum and overall haze decreases with increasing melt temperature. For films made from two-phase grades, dart drop impact decreases as internal haze increases. For corresponding internal haze values, the films made from single-phase grades have lower dart drop values and they are somewhat scattered.  相似文献

Rubber-modification of polyamide is a widely-applied method of improving material resistance under high strain rate loading. The processing conditions used for preparing such two-phase blends strongly influence their structure and thus their subsequent impact properties. In the present work the relationships between production parameters, phase structure and impact resistance have been studied, and the rǒle of the rubber phase in promoting energy absorption investigated. It has been found that improved impact resistance, defined as a combination of high resistance to crack initiation and to crack propagation, is achieved by decreasing the polyamide phase viscosity while increasing the extrusion and injection temperatures, the mixing shear rate and the rubber phase volume fraction; an EPR modifier offers superior performance to a polybutadiene modifier; the dominant mechanisms of energy-absorption are shearing and void formation, there being no clear evidence of crazing; the J-integral technique of plastic fracture mechanics can be applied to Charpy impact testing; TEM allied with image analysis techniques provides quantitative morphological information on polymer blends.  相似文献

The mechanical properties of polypropylene random copolymer (PP-R) with different processing parameters were studied. Special attention is devoted to the investigation of the influence of masterbatch addition on the variation in the mechanical properties of injection moulded PP-R. Tensile, instrumented Charpy impact, Shore D hardness, differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) and Vicat softening temperature (VST) tests were conducted on the test samples containing different colour masterbatches varying from 0.5 to 10 wt%. The observed changes in the mechanical behaviour are explained by the type and level of masterbatch content. The natural UV weathering performance of the PP-R material was studied from the masterbatch type point of view. The effect of processing parameters on material performance was studied on samples which were directly obtained from extruded pipes and on injection moulded samples.

Finally, the effects of storage time on the polymer properties were investigated.  相似文献

In this work, we present the modeling of the peak deceleration (PD) using data of the experimental drop test. Specimens with different thicknesses and areas tested in the drop test device which has adaptable height and weight. In the empirical modeling of the PD, the thickness, area, drop mass and drop height considered as separable functions. An analytical model and Neural Network (NN) was used as the empirical models. Further, the stress on the material was calculated using differential equations and the Finite Element Method (FEM). The Obtained PD from the experimental test, analytical and NN models was converted to the stress on the material using a derived differential equation. Finally, the best model for analyzing the PD and Stress on the material was presented.  相似文献

Instrumentation suitable for a wide variety of impact testers has been developed. Its use on a falling weight tester is described. The falling weight tester has been used to impact samples not only in the Gardner geometry, but also for Charpy and Izod specimens. However, the instrumentation is equally well suited for instrumentating conventional pendulum testers. The instrumentation consists of an accelerometer attached to the impacting mass. The acceleration signal is recorded on a digital oscilloscope and is used to calculate the velocity of the impacting mass, the force on the sample, the deflection of the sample, and the energy transferred from the impacting mass to the sample. The data evaluation and the reporting of the results (in the form of plots and tables) are handled by a dedicated desk-top computer. The capabilities of the instrumentation are illustrated by a series of Gardner tests on polypropylene sheeting.  相似文献

In the present study three-point-bend impact experiments were conducted using an instrumented Charpy pendulum with a laser displacement measurement to better understand the correlation between impact velocity and the dynamic effects observed on the load-time curves. The experiments were performed at impact velocities ranging from 1 to 4 m/s.The aim of this work is to measure the dynamic fracture toughness at high impact velocities where the classical method is limited by the inertial effects. The direct measurements of the specimen deflection are successfully used for the toughness evaluation. The results obtained with this method, which are compared to other studies, indicate that this approach seems promising for brittle materials such as PMMA.  相似文献

Fracture energies in polycarbonate and PMMA were measured using different test techniques. Results from instrumented impact tests and slow three-point bend tests on Charpy specimens were compared with tensile test results on Compact Tension (CT) specimens. The Charpy specimens were provided with a blunt Charpy V (0·25 mm radius) notch and sharp (25 μm radius) notch. It is shown that impact testing of Charpy specimens with blunt notches gives values of the fracture energy which are two to six times higher than those obtained from the CT tensile tests. Only by using a sharp, 25 μm notch and performing the three-point bend test at a low rate were similar results obtained.  相似文献

We experimentally investigate how the impregnation of porous media can be forced using the initial kinetic energy of an impacting drop. We focus on the scale of a single pore – either hydrophilic or hydrophobic – and thus study the impact of a single drop falling on vertical cylindrical capillary tubes. This experimental configuration therefore differs from the impregnation of a porous media because of the finite volume of the drop and its initial kinetic energy. We observe different limit regimes: at low impact velocity, we recover the classical results for impregnation. The liquid does not impregnate the hydrophobic pore while it is totally sucked into the hydrophilic one. At high impact velocities, the drop is broken in two parts: one part spreads at the top of the surface while an isolated slug is trapped within the pore. We determine the critical speeds for these regimes and obtain a full phase-diagram for our observations. We also stress the characteristics of impregnating slugs namely their volume and their motion within the pores.  相似文献

The spreading and recoiling of water drops on several flat and macroscopically smooth model surfaces and on sized paper surfaces were studied over a range of drop impaction velocities using a high-speed CCD camera. The water drop spreading and recoiling results on several model hydrophobic and hydrophilic surfaces were found to be in agreement with observations reported in the literature. The maximum drop spreading diameter for those model surfaces at impact was found to be dependent upon the initial drop kinetic energy and the degree of hydrophobicity/hydrophilicity of the surface. The extent of the maximum drop recoiling was found to be much weaker for hydrophilic substrates than for hydrophobic substrates. Sized papers, however, showed an interesting switch of behaviour in the process of water drop impaction. They behave like a hydrophobic substrate when a water drop impacts on it, but like a hydrophilic substrate when water drop recoils. Although the contact angle between water and hydrophilic or hydrophobic non-porous surfaces changes from advancing to receding as reported in literature, the change of contact angle during water impact on paper surface is unique in that the level of sizing was found to have a smaller than expected influence on the degree of recoil. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) was used to probe fibres on a sized filter paper surface under water. The AFM data showed that water interacted strongly with the fibre even though the paper was heavily sized. Implications of this phenomenon were discussed in the context of inkjet print quality and of the surface conditions of sized papers. Results of this study are very useful in the understanding of inkjet ink droplet impaction on paper surfaces which sets the initial condition for ink penetration into paper after impaction.  相似文献

As an extension of a previous study [1], drop-weight impact tests on cast acrylic (PMMA) plates reinforced by aluminum face sheets were carried out using an instrumented drop weight impact tester. The PMMA and aluminum layers were adhered by epoxy cured at room temperature. Depending on the impact velocity and the type of top surface (acrylic or aluminum) struck by the impactor, damage caused by impact included partial or full delamination at the interface and radial cracks in the acrylic layer. The higher the impact velocity, the more damage was induced. More severe damage occurred if the bi-layer plate was impacted on the aluminum side. The ultrasonic C-scan technique was adopted to detect the damage. The pulse-echo technique with a focused transducer provided very good C-scan results for detecting damage patterns. The transducer with higher frequency gave better resolution and showed more details of damage. Finally, the finite element program, LS-DYNA, implemented with maximum strength criterion for radial cracking and mixed mode strength criterion for interfacial fracture, was used to simulate the drop weight impact tests. Impact force history, energy partition and delamination were predicted assuming various boundary conditions according to experimental results. The finite element simulations were in very good agreement with the experimental data.  相似文献

The resiliency of advanced laminated nanocomposite materials to mitigate impact load is an essential characteristic for material selection and product design. This paper investigates the effect of nanofillers and its effect on the damage resistance performance of a newly developed woven Kevlar fabric. Three types of nanofillers were investigated: (1) Silicon carbide (SiC), (2) aluminum oxide (Al2O3), and (3) multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWCNT). The nanofillers were dispersed using shear mixing and sonication into the epoxy to reinforce Kevlar fabric. Moreover, the effect of the nanofiller's concentration on the damage resistance performance was analyzed. All specimens had 10 layers of Kevlar fabric (KM2plus) stacked with a 0° angle. To evaluate the damage resistance performance a drop-weight impact test was conducted using a maximum drop height of 100 cm. X-ray diffraction was used to evaluate the level of material damage caused by the impact load. The addition of nanofillers enhanced the flexural properties of the composite and as well as its resiliency towards impact loads. In particular, the 0.5 wt% MWCNT laminated Kevlar/epoxy composite possessed the highest impact damage resistance capacity. Furthermore, the damage evolution was not observed within the impact area and in the surrounding areas for specimens with 0.5 wt% MWCNT. Therefore, the results indicate that the optimal nanofiller content for Kevlar KM2plus/epoxy nanocomposites is 0.5 wt% MWCNTs.  相似文献

A drop weight testing machine is described to measure the J0.2-values of polymers in impact within the frame work of fracture mechanics. By changing the weight of a piston falling from the same drop height on the specimen, the impact velocity is constant but the impact energy is varied. This principle of impact testing is applied to the three point bending test in non-linear fracture mechanics. The apparatus is additionally instrumented with a load cell and a displacement transducer to follow the energy transfer during impact deformation in more detail. It is shown that polyethylene with shear yielding develops a strong selfstabilizing effect against crack propagation, which is less pronounced in ABS which deforms by crazing.  相似文献

The purpose of this study was to improve the impact toughness of sugar-coated tablets manufactured by a dusting method. The effects of sugar-coating formulations, which were the sugar-coating suspension formulations and the dusting powder formulations, on impact toughness of sugar-coated tablets were investigated. Impact toughness of sugar-coated tablets was measured by the friability test. We found that the dusting powder formulation was a control factor in impact toughness of sugar-coated tablets manufactured by the dusting method. The dusting method using dusting powder containing 20% microcrystalline cellulose (MCC, Avicel PH-F20) was a useful method for improvement of the impact toughness of sugar-coated tablets. The mechanism of improvement of impact toughness was that MCC in the subcoating layer resulted in a tight bond between the subcoating layer and the smoothing layer and prevented separation of the two layers on impact, because MCC improved the wettability of the subcoating layer, increased the surface roughness of the subcoating layer, and played the role of a binder between the two layers. We confirmed that the MCC between the subcoating layer and the smoothing layer acts to prevent separation of the two layers by impact. We demonstrated that MCC is a suitable material for sugar-coating in order to improve the impact toughness of sugar-coated tablets.  相似文献

The effect of multiple (up to 10 times) extrusion of polylactide on its mechanical properties (determined by a static tension test), Charpy impact strength, melt flow rate, phase transition temperatures, degradation temperature, and permeability of water vapour and oxygen is presented. It was found that, with raising the number of the extrusion cycles, the tensile strength at break slightly diminished and the impact strength clearly decreased, while the melt flow rate and water vapour and oxygen transmission rates steadily increased. Variation of the number of extrusion cycles did not affect the glass transition temperature, whereas it did cause a lowering of the cold crystallisation temperature and slight diminishing of the melting point. The presented results indicate that PLA technological waste is suitable to be reused as an additive to a neat polymer.  相似文献

Different aspects of the melt stabilising effect of various antioxidant packages were studied in a Phillips type polyethylene in the work described in this series of papers. The polymer was stabilised with various combinations of a phenolic antioxidant with phosphite, phosphonite, and phosphine type secondary antioxidants and processed by multiple extrusions followed by film blowing. After determining the role of the antioxidants in the melt stabilisation process and the effect of antioxidant consumption on polymer properties the correlation of the rheological characteristics of polymer with the tear and impact strengths of films is discussed in this paper. The Elmendorf tear strength of films measured in transverse direction, which is sensitive to long chain branching, correlates closely with viscous compliance determined by creep recovery experiments and the ratio of melt flow indices measured at high and low loads. The relationships are independent of the type and amount of antioxidant added. This makes possible the prediction of the effect of various antioxidant packages on film properties on the basis of rheological measurements. The correlation between the dart drop impact strength of the films and the rheological characteristics of the polymer is less reliable.  相似文献

To claim ‘wearability’, clothing for protection against impact injury must not only act locally as a rigid shell under impact in order to satisfy drop-weight tests, but also flex freely with normal movement and offer permeability and light weight. Previous materials used carrier textiles coated with ‘dilatant’ but mechanically weak polyborodimethylsiloxane (PBDMS) compounds. We outline a procedure for developing blends of PBDMS with thermoplastic elastomers which, while minimizing the force transmitted in standard drop-weight tests on monolithic plate, can also be injection moulded into more wearable 3D shell structures. The first successful blends were developed by trial-and-error, involving the melding and testing of many plate specimens. The new procedure uses dynamic mechanical thermal analysis and time-temperature superposition to calibrate Zener-solid models for specific conditions within the service temperature and impact-speed envelope. Each model material is then subjected to a virtual drop-weight impact test to estimate the peak transmitted impact force. These results guide the selection of blends suitable for further development, correlating well with those obtained using the previous, more laborious procedure. When distributed within a suitable blend, PBDMS contributes considerably greater impact force attenuation than bulk uniaxial tests indicate.  相似文献

Experimental results for investigation of dynamical crack resistance curves in the instrumented Charpy impact test on polypropylene (PP)/glass fibre composites are presented. For this purpose the multiple specimen R-curve method, stop-block technique is used. With the aid of J-integral versus stable crack growth (δa) curves the influence of a special coupler system on crack toughness as resistance against stable crack growth is discussed. It is shown that it is possible to quantify different energy dissipative processes with the new fracture mechanical material value J × T7 (T7 - tearing modulus). The problems of determining physical crack initiation values for short fibre composites are discussed. The physical material background for using the ‘plastic hinge’ model to describe the deformation behaviour of PP/glass fibre composites is shown, using the example of selected crack opening displacement (σ) versus δa curves.  相似文献

Responsive polymer microgels can be employed for the preparation of stimuli-sensitive emulsions. The microgels used in this study are based on cross-linked copolymers including N-isopropylacrylamide and methacrylic acid. We conducted the synthesis under acidic and basic conditions to investigate the effect of changes of comonomer solubility on the microgel's composition and ability to stabilize emulsions. The synthesis product was partially divided into two fractions by centrifugation. Raw product, collected supernatant, and purified microgel were characterized by means of light scattering, titration, as well as electrophoretic mobility. The ability of the three components to act as stabilizers was investigated by preparing the octanol/water emulsions and looking at their response to pH and temperature changes. The interfacial activity of the three components was characterized by means of the pendent drop technique. Furthermore, we investigated the response of the interface to dilatational stress using a pendant drop tensiometer equipped with an oscillating drop module. The results demonstrate that the pH during synthesis has a significant impact on the composition and thus the properties of the microgel and its ability to be utilized as a stimuli responsive stabilizer for emulsions. We conclude that microgels can be used as stimuli-sensitive stabilizers for emulsions, if the charges are incorporated in the microgel itself.  相似文献

In this work, a short time test method to determine the slow crack growth behaviour of samples made out of pipes was evaluated. The cracked round bar (CRB) method used provides results below 48 h with brittle fracture surfaces, which indicates the type of slow crack growth failure. To evaluate the usability of the method, the results were compared with well-known tests such as notch pipe test, 2 notch creep test and instrumented Charpy impact tests. The results indicate that the CRB test can be used to predict long term slow crack growth behaviour of PE pipes.  相似文献
