Detecting extensional viscosity of polypropylene melt using the Rheotens test: A comparison between standard and steady state test modes

The Rheotens test was used to determine the extensional viscosity of a polypropylene (PP) melt at three different extrusion velocities and using two capillaries with different length-to-diameter ratios. Results showed that, in the standard Rheotens test, the extensional viscosity curves determined under different testing conditions exhibit an obvious difference, especially under low extensional strain rates. This is attributed to the pre-orientation of macromolecular chains taking place in the capillary. Hence, a steady state Rheotens test was tentatively proposed. It was demonstrated that the extensional viscosity curves determined under most of the testing conditions by this test mode almost overlap, which is attributed to the fact that the pre-orientation of chains relaxes sufficiently near the capillary exit. This implies that equivalent extensional viscosities can be obtained under a wider range of extrusion velocities and capillary length-to-diameter ratios. Moreover, the equivalent extensional viscosities determined in the steady state Rheotens test exhibit good agreement with the extrapolated extensional viscosity curve determined using the Cogswell convergent flow method.     

Effect of internal viscosity on Brownian dynamics of DNA molecules in shear flow

The results of Brownian dynamics simulations of a single DNA molecule in shear flow are presented taking into account the effect of internal viscosity. The dissipative mechanism of internal viscosity is proved necessary in the research of DNA dynamics. A stochastic model is derived on the basis of the balance equation for forces acting on the chain. The Euler method is applied to the solution of the model. The extensions of DNA molecules for different Weissenberg numbers are analyzed. Comparison with the experimental results available in the literature is carried out to estimate the contribution of the effect of internal viscosity.

A simple heat/cool cycle can be used to significantly affect the properties of a solution of a low‐molecular‐weight gelator at high pH. The viscosity and extensional viscosity are increased markedly, leading to materials with very different properties than when the native solution is used.     

Analysis of entrance pressure drop techniques for extensional viscosity determination

In this work, a novel (patent pending) orifice die design for precise extensional viscosity data determination from entrance pressure drop measurements has been developed and tested both theoretically (through Finite Element Analysis) and experimentally. It has been demonstrated that the proposed novel orifice die allows much more precise extensional viscosity measurements for polymer melts in comparison with conventional orifice dies. Moreover, it has been found that, for extensional strain hardening and extensional strain thinning polymer melts, the corrected Cogswell model and Binding/Gibson model should be preferred, respectively. Otherwise, the extensional viscosity determination can be rather erroneous.

EFFECT OF ADSORPTION ON THE VISCOSITY OF DILUTE POLYMER SOLUTION*

Careful measurements of the dilute solution viscosities of polyethylene glycol and polyvinylalcohol in water were carried out. The reduced viscosities of both polymer solutions plot upward curves atextremely dilute concentration levels similar to the phenomena observed for many polymer solutions in theearly 1950's. Upon observation of the changes of the flow times of pure water in and the wall surfacewettability of the viscometer after measuring solution viscosity, a view was formed that the observed viscosityabnormality at extremely dilute concentration regions is solely due to the effect of adsorption of polymerchains onto the wall surface of viscometer. A theory of adsorption effect based on the Langmuir isothermswas proposed and a mathematical analysis for data treatment was performed. The theory could adequatelydescribe the existing viscosity data. It seems necessary to correct the viscosity result of dilute polymersolutions measured by glass capillary viscometer by taking into account the effect of adsorption in all cases.

Geometry dependence of the elongation behavior of a polypropylene melt through a micro die

A series of rheological experiments was performed for a polypropylene (PP) melt to explore its elongation behavior through a capillary die. Using an advanced twin-bore capillary rheometer with dies measuring 1.0, 0.5, and 0.25 mm in diameter, the experiments were performed at 210, 220, and 230 °C. The results indicated that the temperature of the PP melt had a significant effect on its extensional viscosity. The different decreases in the extensional viscosity values in the tested dies revealed the geometry dependence of the extensional viscosity. In the case of PP in the 0.25 mm die at 210 °C, the extensional viscosity values under different extensional strain rates were much higher than those in the other dies. Only in the 1.0 mm die did the relationship between the extensional viscosity of PP and its temperature obey the Arrhenius equation due to the larger die size which related to a slight size effect on its elongation behavior. The calculated deviations of the extensional viscosity in the tested dies demonstrated that the increasing pressure applied to the PP melt in the micro channel was related to the geometry dependence of the elongation behavior of the PP melt. The change in the extensional viscosity eventually relied on the interaction of the die geometry, the temperature, and the extensional stress of the PP melt.

Melt elongation flow behaviour of LDPE/LLDPE blends

The extensional rheological properties of low density polyethylene (LDPE)/linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE) blend melts were measured using a melt spinning technique under temperatures ranging from 160 to 200 °C and die extrusion velocities varying from 9 to 36 mm/s. The results showed that the melt elongation stress decreased with a rise of temperature while it increased with increasing extensional strain rate and the LDPE weight fraction. The dependence of the melt elongation viscosity on temperature roughly obeyed the Arrhenius equation, it increased with increasing extensional strain rate and the LDPE weight fraction when the extensional strain rate was lower than 0.5 s⁻¹, and it reached a maximum when the extensional strain rate was about 0.5 s⁻¹, which can be attributed to the stress hardening effect.     

粘度和光谱方法研究二元阴离子型丙烯酰胺共聚物(P3A)在不同pH水溶液中的构象变化

采用粘度和光谱方法,研究了强酸性和弱酸性2种阴离子型单体与丙烯酰胺的三元共聚物(P3A)在稀水溶液中pH诱发的构象变化,P3A聚合物由丙烯酰胺(AM)和强酸性离子单体(AMPS)及弱酸性离子单体(AA)组成.试验结果表明P3A聚合物溶液的粘度随pH呈现非单调的增长关系,在pH为4～5范围内产生急剧的升高,这现象归因于聚合物链团从紧密状态向膨胀状态迅速的转变.这两种状态的溶液粘度变化幅度和聚合物P3A中AMPS和AA组合比例紧密相关,芘探针在聚合物P3A溶液中的荧光强度和pH的关系呈现类似粘度变化的结果.在低pH值时,发现单一弱酸离子共聚物(P2AA)溶液发生相分离,然而在含有强酸单元(AMPS)的P3A聚合物情况下,这种现象不再产生.     

Capillary breakup extensional rheometry of sodium carboxymethylcellulose solutions in water and propylene glycol/water mixtures

This article presents the results of capillary break‐up extensional rheometer experiments conducted for semidilute solutions of carboxymethylcellulose sodium salt (Na‐CMC) with degrees of substitution (DS) ranging from 0.62 to 1.04 in distilled water and propylene glycol (PG)/water mixtures. The partial aggregation of Na‐CMC chains with DS < 1 observed in aqueous solutions triggers an increase in apparent extensional viscosity and extension of break‐up time. The rheological properties of Na‐CMC solutions in propylene glycol/water mixture are determined by the solubility of the polymer and the physical crosslinking of chains. The disappearance of the elasto‐capillary regime during the filament thinning of Na‐CMC solutions with DS < 1 in propylene glycol/water mixture was linked to the physical crosslinking of polymer chains. The shape of the extensional viscosity curve for Na‐CMC solutions with DS = 1.04 in PG/water mixture was characteristic for semidilute polymer solutions with a low number of entanglements. © 2019 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Extensional viscosity of aqueous solutions of SDS and PVP measured on the rheometrics RFX

An opposed jets extensional rheometer, the Rheometrics RFX, was used to investigate the extensional flow properties of a series of solutions of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) containing varying amounts of an anionic surfactant, sodium dodecylsulphate (SDS). The measurements were made in comparison with data collected for Newtonian fluids of similar viscosity to the polymeric systems of interest. The instrument was used to make measurements of the extensional viscosity as a function of extension rate, and a study of the effect of the residence time within the flow field was made. PVP has been shown to form a complex in aqueous solution with SDS. This study concentrated on the effect the addition of SDS has on the extensional rheology of semi-dilute solutions of PVP, with a molecular weight of 700 000. It was shown that increasing the amount of SDS increased the extensional thickening characteristics of solutions, as shown by a decrease in the critical extension rate for thickening. An increase in the viscosity of the solvent was shown to have an additional effect. By decreasing the distance between the opposed nozzles it was shown that a decrease in the residence time (and hence total average strain) diminished the extensional thickening character of these solutions.
