The deformation is affected by both the crystalline and theamorphous phases. However, the relative weights of the two portions change with the deformation stage. At lowdeformations the coupling and coarse slips of the crystalline blocks dominate the mechanical properties, which allows thesystem to maintain a homogeneous strain distribution in the sample. As the stretching increases, at a critical strain the forcegenerated from entangled fluid portions reaches a critical value to destroy the crystallites. The dominant deformationmechanism then changes into a disaggregation - recrystallization process.展开更多

The experimental results described in this study allow to initiate a first discussion on the role of viscosity and its link with the fracture behaviour and a heterogeneous microstructure such as the semi-crysalline polymer. Dynamic fracture tests on pipes were carried out. It would appear that a temperature decrease of approximately 40℃ relative to ambient has no significant influence on the average crack propagation velocity (≈0.6<em>c<sub>R</sub></em><sub>)</sub>, fracture energy and surface roughness. On the contrary, crack propagation paths seem to vary with temperature. The difference in fracture behaviour between the amorphous and crystalline phase varies significantly as a function of temperature. The difference between the initiation resistance and the rapid propagation also varies. This difference seems to be significantly reduced by lowering the temperature. The mechanisms of cavitation damage and plastic flow are increasingly limited by the decrease in temperature (and therefore in macromolecular mobility). Crack propagation in the pipe is more extensive and therefore more critical. This is emphasised in particular by the probability of the material to be macro-branched as the temperature decreases.展开更多

The fundamental mechanism of fracture is displayed at the molecular level. The rate of fracturing is determined by the Eyring theory of thermal activation. The resulting equation includes the important molecular properties of therein, the length and density of the tie molecules. The underlying microfracture process is the unfolding of the chains in the crystal under the action of the tie molecules.展开更多

This paper reviews energy storage devices with focus on dielectric film capacitors. Two prominent examples of polymer dielectrics Polyetherimide (PEI) and Poly (tetrafluoroethylene-hexafluoropropylene-vinylidene fluoride) (THV) have been discussed. Polyetherimide (PEI) is an amorphous polymer recognized for its high-temperature capability, low dielectric loss and high dielectric strength. THV is a semi-crystalline polymer with high dielectric constant, high-temperature capability and charge-discharge efficiency. The primary focus of this paper is to introduce the reader to the fabrication procedures and characterization techniques used in research labs for processing of dielectric polymers. The fabrication and characterization process of both polymers has been discussed in detail to shed the light on experimental process in this area of research.展开更多

Thermoresponsive hydrogels triggered by temperature change can be efficiently utilized in many applications. However, these thermoresponsive hydrogels mostly cannot recover their mechanical states under large strain during the process. Herein, we utilize the heterogeneous comb-type polymer network with semicrystalline hydrophobic side chains to design self-recovery semi-crystalline hydrogels. Based on hydrophilic/hydrophobic cooperative complementary interaction and heterogeneous polymer network, hydrogels can be endowed with excellent thermosensitive properties and mechanical performance. The hydrogels exhibit high compressive strength(7.57 MPa) and compressive modulus(1.76 MPa) due to the semi-crystalline domains formed by association of the hydrophobic poly(ε-caprolactone) PCL. The melting-crystalline transition of PCL and elastic polymer network provide the hydrogels excellent thermomechanical performance and self-recovery property. Furthermore, the hydrogels exhibit shape memory behavior, which can be realized by simple process and smart surface patterning. With these excellent properties, our hydrogels can be applied in sensors, flexible devices and scaffolds for tissue engineering.展开更多

Calculation predicts a neck-like deformation, as well as the related profiles of velocity, diameter, temperature, chain orientation, and crystallinity in the fiber spinning process. Considering combined effects on the process such as flow-induced crystallization, viscoelasticity, filament cooling, air drag, inertia, surface tension and gravity, the simulated material flow behaviors are consistent with those observed for semi-crystalline polymers under various spinning conditions, The structure change of polymer coils in the necking region described by the evolution of conformation tensor is also investigated. Based on the relaxation mechanism of macromolecules in flow field different types of morphology change of polymer chains before and in the neck are proposed, giving a complete prospect of structure evolution and crystallization of semi-crystalline polymer in the high speed fiber spinning process.展开更多
