Conductive polyethylene-carbon black composites by elongational-flow injection molding Part 3. Study of the structure and morphology

The morphology and structure of high molecular weight linear polyethylene (M _w 450000) filled with carbon black and processed using molds that introduce an elongational flow component during injection molding has been examined using electron microscopy and x-ray diffraction techniques. The study of fracture surfaces reveals the display of shish-kebabs oriented along the injection direction with segregated longitudinal channels of carbon black particles. Molecular and lamellar changes in orientation are, furthermore, studied across the thickness of the moldings. It is shown that addition of carbon black particles to injection-molded polyethylene induces significant changes in lamellar orientation. Thus, while lamellar overgrowth proceeds perpendicular to the fiber axes within carbon free channels, lamellae grow randomly within carbon-enriched regions where flow is less pronounced.     

Essential Work of Fracture Parameters of Injection-Molded Polypropylene/Polyolefin Elastomer Blends

The influence of polyolefin elastomer (POE) content on the fracture behavior of injection-molded polypropylene (PP)/POE blends was evaluated by means of the essential work of fracture (EWF) method. The results indicated that the EWF approach worked well for the PP/POE blends when POE content was 0～7.5 wt% of the blends. The specific essential work of fracture (w _e) increased with increasing POE content, and the dominant factor that affected w _e was the necking and subsequent fracture process. The specific nonessential work of fracture (βw _p) slightly decreased with increasing POE content, while the specific plastic work (w _p) showed an increasing trend with the decrease of the shape factor (β) of the specimen. Finally, it was shown that w _e could be predicted reasonably well via the COD values.
