Unique polyethylene morphologies produced under extrusion conditions

Abstract: Unusual morphologies have been shown to be produced in high density polyethylene near its melting point and under selective conditions of orientation and pressure existing in an Instron capillary extrusion rheometer. Points of study involve the remarkably high optical clarity and tensile moduli for the morphologies produced in these filaments. Details of the crystallization procedure are provided. The morphologies resulting from the Instron procedure have been analyzed by several different techniques. X-ray, c… Show more

“…That is, at higher extensional flows (higher 2, the increased melt entropy causes the effective melting point of the flowing polymer to increase; therefore the free energy change upon crystallization, (i.e., the thermodynamic driving force for crystallization) also in-& creases with increasing -4 Furthermore, since the dz extensional flow is causing the polymer chains to be extended and to develop parallel alignment, the major resistance (alignment of chains) to crystallization is dramatically reduced. Increasing the driving force for crystallization and decreasing the resistance leads to the probability of extremely rapid crystallization as noted in strain induced and in pressure induced crystallization (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)17).…”

“…These machines are used in specialty operations, such as melt removal directly from a polymerization reactor. In Europe, the standard extruder sizes are 20,25,30,35,40,50,60,90,120,150,200,250,300,350,400,450, 500, and 600 millimeters. Most extruders range in size from 1 to 6 inches or from 25 to 150 mm.…”
