    Notes: Four stainless steel alloys, commonly used for surgical needles were tensile and bend tested. The materials included: ASTM 42000, ASTM 45500, ASTM 30200, and a Fe-12Cr-8.5Ni-3.2Mo-1.9Ti alloy. Small diameter wires in a wide range of strength levels were produced using various heat treatments and/or cold drawing. Samples from each processing condition were tensile and bend tested. Calculated yield moment and ultimate moment were determined using tensile yield strength, the flexural formula (M(y) = σ(y) I/C), and the shape factor for circular cross sections (M(u)/M(y) = 1.7). A deviation was observed between the theoretically calculated yield moment and a 2° offset measured yield moment. This was expected because moment-strain diagrams provide only an approximation of yield moment due to the gradual departure from linearity. The 2° offset yield was termed the surgical yield because it represents the strain at which a surgical needle would start to lose functionality. A nonlinear relationship (R) was observed between measured and calculated values. The relationship (R) proved to be a function of cold work by wire drawing as measured by the change in wire length (ΔL), R = a - b * In(ΔL). This suggests that engineers selecting materials for bending applications such as surgical needles cannot use tensile data alone to predict bend strength. Processing history must also be known. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Melt viscosity increase during rheological testing of poly(phenylene sulfide) (1993)

    Notes: Poly(phenylene sulfide) (PPS) made via the melt polymerization of p-diiodobenzene and sulfur has previously been reported to increase in melt viscosity with time during rheological testing. Analysis of the oligomer from cleavage of PPS chains at the disulfide bonds via solution in 1-chloronaphthalene demonstrated that the disulfide content of the polymer decreased with rheological testing time. DSC of the polymer before and after rheological testing in combination with the Tcc and Tm of the chain fragments after the dissolution/cleavage in 1-chloronaphthalene showed that many samples exhibited primarily chain extension rather than chain branching, whereas for many others, some degree of chain branching occurred. This is currently only qualitatively understood. Chain branching as the exclusive mechanism of melt viscosity increase during rheological testing appears untenable in light of the Tm, in particular, of the chain fragments and also the polymer prior to chain cleavage. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
