不同结构驱油聚合物的界面剪切流变性质

利用双锥法研究了油田现场用超高分子量部分水解聚丙烯酰胺(PHPAM)和疏水改性聚丙烯酰胺(HMPAM)溶液与航空煤油间的界面剪切流变性质,考察了时间、应变幅度和剪切频率对不同浓度PHPAM和HMPAM溶液界面剪切流变参数的影响.结果表明,只有在适宜的剪切频率条件下,流变数据才能反映界面膜的结构信息.HMPAM分子具有界面活性,能吸附在界面上,其界面膜的强度随时间变化逐渐增强,且在高浓度时以黏性为主;PHPAM分子不具有界面活性,其剪切流变参数没有时间依赖性,界面层以弹性为主.HMPAM能通过疏水作用形成界面网络结构,界面膜的剪切复合模量明显高于PHPAM界面层.HMPAM界面层中网络结构在剪切形变作用下的破坏与重组这一慢弛豫过程是其强度较高的原因.

利用大幅振荡剪切研究Laponite 凝胶的流变性质

通过大幅振荡剪切(LAOS)流变学方法, 研究了NaCl浓度对Laponite悬浮体系的结构及非线性黏弹性的影响. 在线性黏弹性区, Laponite体系的储能模量G′随着NaCl浓度的增加而逐渐增大. 体系的非线性黏弹性用响应应力的Fourier变换三次谐波的相对振幅I_3/1与Lissajous曲线的定量参数G_M, G_L, η_M和η_L描述. 当NaCl浓度较低时, I_3/1随应变振幅γ₀的增加而缓慢增加; 当NaCl浓度较高时, I_3/1随γ₀的增加迅速增大, 达到平台值. 不同NaCl浓度试样的G_M和G_L随γ₀变化的曲线区别不大, 但η_M和η_L随γ₀变化曲线在非线性区域出现峰值且区别较大. NaCl浓度越高, η_M和η_L出现峰值的γ₀越小, 峰值越大. 结果表明, Laponite凝胶的非线性黏弹性与凝胶网络结构有关, 随着NaCl浓度的增加, 粒子间的静电相互作用距离缩短, 粒子间距减小, 形成了更紧密的网络结构. 但这种网络在较大的应变下很容易被破坏, 出现非线性黏弹性.     

剪切均匀性对流动诱导等规聚丙烯结晶的影响

固定应变和最终应变速率,采用瞬时和缓慢2种电机加速方式对样品施加剪切,研究了流场加载模式对样品流变和结晶行为的影响.实验结果显示缓慢加速能够消除剪切过程中流场的非均匀性,使样品取向度增加,提高流场对聚合物熔体的作用效果.同时,流动诱导结晶对于加速时间有依赖性.对于速率为17.7 s-1的剪切,加速时间为1 s时,熔体流动均匀且流动诱导的晶体取向最强,短加速时间(0.5 s)和长加速时间(1.5 s)样品的流动诱导结晶效果都弱于加速时间为1 s的样品.但是,对于不同剪切速率,其对应的最优加速时间不同.对于流动诱导结晶来说,加速时间应当作为一个重要参数来考虑,其背后的真实物理含义还需要进一步研究来说明.     

DSC and Rheometry Investigations of Crude Oils

Thermal characteristics and rheological behaviour of eight crude oils covered a wide range of fluid composition and properties were studied by differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) and viscometry. Wax appearance temperatures (WAT) of crude oils were determined by DSC and viscometry. Good agreement is obtained between the results. The dynamic viscosity in the Newtonian temperature range of the crude oils (above 30°C) generally obeyed a simple first-order Arrhenius type of temperature dependence. Activation energies of flow in the non-Newtonian range are not uniquely defined. This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Rheometry of an androstanol steroid derivative paramagnetic organogel. Methodology for a comparison with a fatty acid organogel

This paper compares and contrasts the behavior of two different gelators using rheological and neutron scattering methods. The flow properties of a steroid-made paramagnetic organogel in cyclohexane are presented. The original gelator STNO is important in the class of organogels as being one of the most documented and as such is a good candidate for comparisons with another reference system, the 12-hydroxy stearic acid (HSA) gel. The linear viscoelastic regime of deformations of STNO gels is identified and analyzed in the context of self-assembled fibrillar networks. The linear elasticity scales with the concentration as G′ α C² similarly with HSA organogels, and both systems can be considered as cellular materials. Rheological and neutron scattering experiments show that the kinetics of gel formation exhibits long equilibration times corresponding to the elaboration of entangled fibrillar aggregates. Comparison of the linear elasticities between STNO and HSA gels demonstrates that HSA gels are much more stiffer (G′_HSA/G′_STNO∼2700). Contributions from the cross-sectional sizes, the mesh size of the networks, the solubility concentrations, and the Young's modulus of the materials are discussed. Non-linear flow properties are also compared using thixotropic loops. They indicate that the transduction of the chirality from the molecular to the supramolecular stages is more efficient with STNO gels having strong chiral junction zones. Simplified scattering and optical protocols are proposed to facilitate comparisons between different organogels.     

Effect of the Mixture Composition on Shear and Extensional Rheology of Recycled PET and ABS Nanocomposites

Summary: Recycled PET as well as ABS - organomodified montmorillonite nanocomposites were prepared via melt compounding in a counter-rotating twin screw extruder. The topological changes in polymer matrices as dependency on clay modification have been evaluated from dynamic experiments in the shear flow using low amplitude oscillatory measurements. Flow characteristics of all studied organoclay nanocomposites showed shear-thinning behavior at low frequencies. Filling of PET with some organoclays led to degradation reactions, which were reflected by lower magnitudes of viscosity and storage modulus in the range of higher frequencies as compared to unfilled polymer matrix. On the contrary, no degradation during the processing of different organoclays with recycled ABS has been observed.     

Structural Evolution in Flowing Immiscible Blends in the Presence of Rough Particles: Dependence of Shear Rate and Blend Ratio

The influence of polystyrene particles with different nanoscale roughnesses on the morphology of polyisobutylene/poly-dimethylsiloxane blends was studied under shear flow by using confocal laser scanning microscopy.It was found that the surface roughness of particles strongly affected their diffusion and distribution behaviors,thereby determining the size and spatial arrangement of droplets in the blends.The roughness effect of particles was found to possess a strong dependence on both the blend ratio and the shear rate.The result suggested that the particle roughness can serve as a new parameter to control the structure-property correlation in particle-filled polymer blends,especially under slow flow.     

Conformational and Dynamical Evolution of Block Copolymers in Shear Flow

Conformation and dynamical evolution of block copolymers in shear flow is an important topic in polymer physics that underscores the forming process of various materials. We explored deformation and dynamics of copolymers composed of rigid or flexible blocks in simple shear flow by employing multiparticle collision dynamics integrated with molecular dynamics simulations. We found that compared with the proportion between rigid and flexible blocks, the type of the central blocks plays more important role in the conformational and dynamical evolution of copolymers. That is, if the central block is a coil, the copolymer chain takes end-over-end tumbling motion, while if the central block is a rod, the copolymer chain undergoes U-shape or S-shape deformation at mid shear rate. As the shear strength increases, all copolymers behave similar to flexible polymers at high shear rate. This can be attributed to the fact that shear flow is strong enough to overcome the buckling force of the rigid blocks. These results provide a deeper understanding of the roles played by rod and coil blocks in copolymers for phase interface during forming processing.     

Shear and NMR experiments of materials with flow behaviour depending on the deformation history

Oxide ceramic masses react to simple shearing with hardening (peptisation: increase in the shear stress with the shear deformation). In the present study the correlation between the increase in the shear stress and the porosity, agglomeration processes and the type of flow are analysed. For this purpose oxide ceramic masses are tested in a shear device especially developed for pastes and analysed by rheometric experiments, NMR methods and particle size analysis. The results support the hypothesis that structural changes (hardening, increase in the mean porosity) of the material during the peptisation mainly depend on the magnitude and not on the kind of the energy input and thus of the type of flow. The fraction of bound (more generally, the immobilised) water increases with the shear displacement. Also crushing of primary particles could be observed. Both the crushing of solid particles causing an increased solid surface and the formation of a three-dimensional gel structure are microscopic effects capable of resulting in the binding or retaining water. On a macroscopic scale these phenomena cause hardening. Magnetic resonance imaging visualises flow-induced agglomerates, which form owing to the shear flow and increase the porosity averaged over the whole sample. After the shear experiment rolls of paste can be seen which indicate that the general assumption of a plane shear flow in the shear device is not warrantable.

Influence of in situ reactive interphase with graft copolymer on shear and extensional rheology in a model bilayered polymer system

Influence of an in situ reactive interphase composed of graft copolymer on the melt shear and extensional rheology was systematically studied with a model bilayer of polyamide-6 (PA6)/maleic anhydride grafted poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF-g-MAH). Firstly, small-amplitude oscillatory shear was used in situ to probe the development of reactive interphase from the interfacial reactions by tracking the changes of viscoelastic responses. Secondly, shear (start-up shear, shear stress relaxation) and extensional rheology was comparatively performed on the healed bilayers to evaluate the effects of reactive interphase. Interestingly, shear stress relaxation and especially extensional rheology were pretty sensitive to the presence of reactive interphase, whereas start-up shear showed negligible sensitivity. Specifically, the reactive interphase retarded the stress relaxation of healed bilayers subjected to step strains. Particularly, extensional rheology provided a more direct and quantitative view of the contribution of reactive interphase to melt rheology in both linear and nonlinear regimes. The remarkable increase in transient extensional viscosity and enhanced strain hardening resulting from the interfacial reaction in bilayer were demonstrated in terms of the interfacial stress. Besides, effect of reaction extent on extensional rheology was further examined, where it was found that interfacial stress increased with reaction time. The observed changes in rheology were attributed to the in situ formed interphase with graft copolymers and the resulting increased entanglements between neighboring layers. This study highlights the remarkable sensitivity of shear stress relaxation and especially extensional rheology to a reactive interphase.
