The crystallinity of HDPE first decreased slightly, followed by a gradual increase with increasing milling times. Monoclinic crystals appeared after 4 cycles of milling. With increasing times of milling, the proportion of monoclinic crystals increased significantly while the proportion of orthorhombic crystals decreased gradually. With increasing times of milling, the crystallite size of orthorhombic form decreased greatly, while the size of monoclinic crystallites kept almost constant during milling.展开更多

An innovative milling apparatus, viz. an inlaid pan-mill, was used. Melt indexer, capillary rheometer, Haake Rheocord 90 single-screw extruder and Brabender rheometer were used to evaluate the rheological properties of HDPE. HDPE with higher initial molecular weight and larger particle size was easier to degrade under pan-milling stress, as indicated by the melt index. Pressure oscillation in capillary flow occurred at significantly higher shear stress and shear rate for milled HDPE than for unmilled HDPE. The apparent shear viscosity of HDPE decreased with increasing times of milling. After milling, the flow activation energy decreased and thus the sensitivity of viscosity to temperature was reduced. Die pressure and torque during single screw extrusion were reduced significantly after milling. Plasticizing time as measured in a Brabander mixer decreased markedly with increasing milling times.展开更多
