Measurements and modeling of temperature-strain rate dependent uniaxial and planar extensional viscosities for branched LDPE polymer melt

In this work, novel rectangle and circular orifice (zero-length) dies have been utilized for temperature-strain rate dependent planar and uniaxial extensional viscosity measurements for the LDPE polymer melt by using standard twin bore capillary rheometer and Cogswell model and the capability of five different constitutive equations (novel generalized Newtonian model, original Yao model, extended Yao model, modified White-Metzner model, modified Leonov model) to describe the measured experimental data has been tested. It has been shown that chain branching causes the strain hardening occurrence in both uniaxial and planar extensional viscosities and its maximum is shifted to the higher strain rates if the temperature is increased. The level of uniaxial extensional strain hardening for the branched LDPE sample has been found to be higher in comparison with the planar extensional viscosity within wide range of temperatures.

Effect of viscoelastic stress state at die exit on extrusion film casting process: Theoretical study

In this work, viscoelastic, isothermal extrusion film casting modeling utilizing 1D membrane model and modified Leonov model was performed in order to understand the role of viscoelastic stress state at the die exit on the polymer melt film stretching in the post die area. Experimental data for LDPE and theoretical predictions based on the eXtended Pom-Pom (XPP) model taken from the open literature were used for the validation purposes. It was found that predicting capabilities of 1D membrane model utilizing XPP and modified Leonov model are comparable for the given processing conditions and material. Consequent theoretical parametric study revealed that increase in the viscoelastic stress state at the die exit, characterized as the ratio of second and first normal stress differences, -N-2/N-1, leads to increase in neck-in phenomenon. This suggests that specific attention should be paid to optimization of the extrusion die design in order to stabilize polymer melt film stretching in the post die area

Effect of die exit stress state, Deborah number, uniaxial and planar extensional rheology on the neck-in phenomenon in polymeric flat film production

In this work, effect of the second to first normal stress difference ratio at the die exit, −N2/N1, uniaxial extensional strain hardening, [Formula presented], planar-to-uniaxial extensional viscosity ratio, [Formula presented], and Deborah number, De, has been investigated via viscoelastic isothermal modeling utilizing 1D membrane model and a single-mode modified Leonov model as the constitutive equation. Based on the performed parametric study, it was found that there exists a threshold value for De and [Formula presented], above which, the neck-in starts to be strongly dependent on −N2/N1. It was found that such critical De decreases if −N2/N1, [Formula presented] increases and/or [Formula presented] decreases. Numerical solutions of the utilized model were successfully approximated by a dimensionless analytical equation relating the normalized maximum attainable neck-in with [Formula presented], [Formula presented], −N2/N1 and De. Suggested equation was tested by using literature experimental data considering that −N2/N1 depends on die exit shear rate, temperature and utilized constitutive model parameters for given polymer melt. It was found that approximate model predictions are in a very good agreement with the corresponding experimental data for low as well as very high Deborah numbers, at which neck-in strongly depends on −N2/N1. It is believed that the obtained knowledge together with the suggested simple model can be used for optimization of the extrusion die design (influencing flow history and thus die exit stress state), molecular architecture of polymer melts and processing conditions to suppress neck-in phenomenon in production of very thin polymeric flat films. © 2018 Elsevier B.V.1 6-05886S, GACR, Grantová Agentura České RepublikyGrant Agency of the Czech Republic [16-05886S

Heat transfer model verification for thermal monitoring system of integral bridges

Thermal actions considered on abutments of integral bridges by the European standard (Eurocode 1) might be in variety of certain situations underestimated. Based on this assumption, thermal monitoring system has been designed and installed into structure of bridge No. 27-117. Temperature profiles in five certain spots are being measured to provide sufficient basis for evaluation of real thermal actions on abutments of integral bridges. For purpose of measurement verification, elementary heat transfer models for finite element method solver were created. These models are being loaded by simplified temperature profiles reached in real time in-situ. Evaluated models provide verification data to compare with measured temperature profiles in structure and might provide information about temperature profiles probably reached during extreme weather situations

Influence of long chain branching on fiber diameter distribution for polypropylene nonwovens produced by melt blown process

In this work, linear isotactic polypropylene (L-PP) and long-chain branched polypropylene (LCB-PP) miscible blend, both having comparable weight average molecular weight, zero-shear viscosity, and polydispersity index, were used to produce nonwovens via melt blown technology in order to understand the role of long chain branching in the fiber diameter distribution. Basic morphological characteristics of produced nonwoven samples have been determined using digital image analysis of scanning electron microscope images considering different magnifications to capture nanofibers as well as microfibers. At the same air flow rate, polymer flow rate, and temperature, the average fiber diameters were the same, 1.6 μm, but the coefficient of variation, CV, was greater for the linear PP than for the blend. Material elasticity was assessed by reptation-mode relaxation time, λ, determined by fitting of deformation rate dependent shear viscosity by Cross and Carreau-Yasuda models as well as via fitting of frequency dependent loss and storage moduli master curve by a two-mode Maxwell model. It was found that λ is higher for LCB-PP in comparison with L-PP and the Cross model gives a meaningful relaxation time while the Carreau-Yasuda model does not despite giving a better numerical fit. Extensional rheology was assessed by the strain rate dependent uniaxial extensional viscosity (estimated from the entrance pressure drop using the Gibson method). The infinite shear to zero-shear shear viscosity ratio η ∞ /η 0 (obtained directly from the shear viscosity data measured in a very wide shear rate range) was shown to be proportional to the maximum normalized extensional viscosity at very high extensional strain rates, ηE, ∞ /(3η 0 ). η ∞ /η 0 was related to temperature and basic molecular characteristics of given polymers via simple equation. It was observed that extensional viscosity for both samples first decreases with increased extensional strain rate to its minimum value at 200 000-400 000 1/s and then increases to plateau value, ηE, ∞ (corresponding to the maximum chain stretch) at about 2 10 6 1/s. At low deformation rates, extensional viscosity is higher for LCB-PP in comparison with L-PP, but the trend is switched at very high deformation rates; ηE, ∞ (and also ηE, ∞ /3η 0 ) becomes lower for LCB-PP in comparison with L-PP. These results suggest that high stability of LCB-PP blend can be explained by its higher stretchability at very high deformation rates (occurring at the die exit where an intensive fiber attenuation takes the place) and its lower stretchability at medium and low deformation rates, at which melt/air inertia driven bending instability called whipping occurs. © 2019 The Society of Rheology.Grant Agency of the Czech RepublicGrant Agency of the Czech Republic [16-05886S

Effect of heat transfer coefficient, draw ratio, and die exit temperature on the production of flat polypropylene membranes

In this work, a stable numerical scheme has been developed for the 1.5-dimensional film casting model of Silagy et al. [Polym. Eng. Sci. 36, "Study of the stability of the film casting process," 2614-2625 (1996)] utilizing the viscoelastic modified Leonov model as the constitutive equation and energy equation coupled with the crystallization kinetics of semicrystalline polymers taking into account actual temperature as well as cooling rate. The model has been successfully validated on the experimental data for linear isotactic polypropylene taken from the open literature. Drawing distance, draw ratio, heat transfer coefficient, and die exit melt temperature were systematically varied in the utilized model in order to understand the role of process conditions in the neck-in phenomenon (unwanted film width shrinkage during stretching in the post die area) and crystalline phase development during flat film production. It is believed that the utilized numerical model together with the suggested stable numerical scheme as well as obtained research results can help to understand a processing window for the production of flat porous membranes from linear polypropylene considerably. © 2019 Author(s).Grant Agency of the Czech RepublicGrant Agency of the Czech Republic [16-05886S
