    Notes: In the application of plastic pipes for fluid transport and for the protection of underground electrical cables, it is desirable to improve mechanical properties, particularly in the hoop direction. The use of orientable reinforcing particles such as chopped glass fibers could make possible such an improvement if the orientation of the fibers could be controlled. While conventional pipe extrusion dies tend to promote axial fiber orientation, the use of an expanding channel die has been proposed to produce a preferential hoop orientation of fibers. In this paper, a theoretical model of the flow of a fiber suspension through an expanding channel die that predicts the fiber orientation distribution at the die exit is described. The effects of Theological properties and die geometry on the final fiber orientation distribution are predicted. The results of an experimental study of fiber orientation in pipe extruded using an expanding channel die are shown to be in agreement with the theoretical predictions.

    Notes: Some of today's modern screws contain melt-separating secondary (barrier) flights in the transition zone. With increasing utilization of barrier screws, the availability of proper and accurate design methods for the melting zone remains of paramount importance. A modified version of a mathematical model developed by the authors previously is applied to two most common types of barrier screws, viz. - The Mailefer screw (varying pitch and constant depth); - The Barr screw (constant pitch and varying depth). The present analysis provides valuable insight into the operating principles of these screws. A comparative study is presented demonstrating the possible advantages and disadvantages of the Maillefer and Barr screws in relation to conventional compression screws.

    Notes: This paper addresses the apparent controversy surrounding the role of the solid bed mechanics in the Maddock melting mechanism. It is demonstrated that the inability of the melting models based on the freely deformable solid bed concept to predict accurately the pressure gradients in the melting zone is not exclusively due to the highly simplified isothermal Newtonian treatment of the melt pool as presumed previously. This study has shown that when using a non isothermal non-Newtonian flow model for the melt pool, the freely deformable solid bed concept still results in unrealistically low pressure gradients while it may give good predictions of the melting rates. To the contrary, when a rigid solid bed is assumed, the pressure predictions tend to represent the experimental data more closely, whereas the theoretical melting rates seems to become less realistic. In view of the fact that both the freely deformable and the rigid solid bed concepts show such inconsistencies, it has been concluded that the mechanics governing the solids and melt transport in the melting zone require some additional examination, most notably, the influence of the constitutive behavior of the solid bed and of the cross-channel melt circulation around the solid bed, and possibly of the melting kinetics for semicrystalline polymers.

    Notes: The enthalpy changes during structural relaxation or physical aging of a 58ZrF4-33BaF2-5LaF3-4AlF3 (ZBLA) glass during annealing well below the glass-transition temperature have been studied using differential-scanning calorimetry at several sub-Tg temperatures. Substantial relaxation within the course of several hours was detected at temperatures as low as sixty degrees below Tg (585K). The relaxation process is extremely nonlinear and self-retarding. The time dependence of the enthalpy during the initial stages of annealing was modeled approximately using the Narayanaswamy-Tool approach. The structural-relaxation parameters obtained from this fit were used to predict rates of physical aging for rapidly cooled ZBLA glass at temperatures close to ambient.

    Notes: This paper deals with the measurement and interpretation of pressures and temperatures produced by the mixing of a rubber compound in the chamber of an internal mixer equipped with interlocking rotors. Pressure transducers and infrared/fiber optic temperature sensors were sited flush with the inner surface of the mixing chamber of a Francis Shaw KO Intermix of 2 L chamber volume. The variation of pressure with transducer position In the chamber wall and with rotor position was measured for selected fill factors and rotor speeds at “equilibrium” conditions (quasi-static power requirement for the mixer) and at intervals during a complete mixing cycle. Two rotor designs were studied. Interpretation of the results was carried out with reference to biconical rotor rheometer measurements on the mixed rubber compounds and by reference to four regimes of viscoelastic behavior identified for two-roll mill mixing. A basic flow analysis was carried out by use of the lubrication approximation in conjunction with an isothermal power-law model.

    Notes: The adverse effect of knit-line formation on the mechanical properties of thermoplastics has been well documented for unfilled materials. A majority of these investigations concern amorphous polymers, whereas a number of engineering polymers are semicrystalline and also contain reinforcing fillers and fibers. The present investigation deals with the effect of knit-lines on the mechanical behavior of unfilled and glass fiber-reinforced semicrystalline polymers, such as polypropylene, poly(butylene terephthalate), poly(ethylene terephthalate), and poly(phenylene sulfide). Unfilled and fiber-reinforced polystyrene was also investigated for reference. Tensile specimens with knit-lines were produced by impinging melt fronts from two gates located at opposite ends of the dumbbell-shaped mold. The effect of process conditions on the knit-line strength was studied by varying primarily the melt and mold temperatures. The presence of glass fibers significantly reduced the knit-line factor based on strength and strain to failure for the reinforced grades of all polymers relative to their respective unfilled grades. This is attributed to the lack of fiber flow across the knit-line, which makes the material in the knit-line region act as if it is not reinforced. The knit-line strength could be changed through process modifications. For the unfilled grades of semicrystalline polymers, the presence of knit-lines did not affect the yield strength but reduced the elongation at onset of necking, indicating that little spherulitic growth takes place across the knit-line.

    Notes: Photosensitive polyamic acid involving substituted 3, 5-diaminobenzamide has been developed for photopatternable polyimidesiloxanes. This precursor, formulated with photosensitizers, was used to develop fine patterns by i-line UV exposure. The curing of polyamic acid was investigated by using FTIR and physical property measurement. The cured film has a high glass transition temperature depending on the siloxane content. It is stable up to 400°C and loses some of the substituted groups on heating to 500°C. The modulus, dielectric constant, and water absorption decreased with higher siloxane content.

    Notes: Single glass and Kevlar fibers were embedded in a ductile low density polyethylene and the forces required to pull them out were measured. The plot of debonding force vs. embedded length was not a straight line, and involved a maximum Edear stress of up to 15 MPa, which was greater than the estimated shear strength of the polyethylene. Debonding appeared to be a brittle fracture process, with a work of fracture of 110 Jm -2 or less.

    Notes: In this paper, we discuss a way to present results or practical interest for the reaction injection molding (RIM) process, such as guidelines to avoid premature gelling and to control demold time and maximum temperature rise. The results are presented as a set of graphs correlated using the relevant dimensionless groups of the process. Examples of applications of these graphs are given and discussed. The numerical calculations are done using the RIM process model developled by Castro and Macosko, which has been shown to agree with experimental results.

    Notes: Column chromatography and electrophoresis are combined in electrochromatography, where an electric potential is applied to a chromatography column in the axial direction. These studies utilized a dextran gel stationary phase and an eluent of low ionic strength, which were chosen to minimize electric current and therefore column heating and undesirable dispersion effects. The gel, with a small ion exchange capacity of several microequivalents per mL, turned out to be more conductive than the eluent and was able to concentrate macromolecules in the presence of combined electric and flow fields. The model presented describes solute retention due to electrically induced concentration polarization of solute on the resin surfaces, as well as electrophoresis in the mobile and stationary phases. The polarization effect explains differences between retention of high-molecular-weight solutes with exclusion coefficients of less than 1 and that of a charged low-molecular-weight solute, which is hypothesized to pass through the gel matrix in the presence of an electric field and does not experience concentration polarization. It also shows the application of this effect for protein separation in a liquid chromatography system with a superimposed electric potential.
