Polyolefin Elastomer

To develop filled polymer compositions based on polypropylene with different contents of calcite concentrate as a filler and the newest polyolefin elastomer as a modifier; to define the influence of the compositions on their rheological and physico-mechanical properties for production injection molded goods. The values of viscosity, melt flow index, tensile strength, elongation, and impact strength and frost resistance of the compositions depending on their composition are determined by standard methods. The influence of calcite concentrate as a filler and polyolefin elastomer as a modifier on the rheological and mechanical properties of compositions has been determined. With an increase in the amount of filler the physical and mechanical properties of the filled compositions are reduce that is offset by introducing the newest polyolefin elastomer as a modifier in amount of 5 wt. %. Addition of 5 wt. % of polyolefin elastomer in the filled composition gives them frost resistance, wherein the impact strength is higher than for compositions without the modifier even after freezing for 30 days at -18°С. It has been determined that adding of the filler does not increase the viscosity of the compositions, which contradicts the traditional behavior of filled systems. The addition of 5 wt. % of polyolefin elastomer to the filled compositions with calcite concentrate up to 20 wt.% does not change the tensile strength of the compositions which is 24 MPa, but increases elongation by 2 times, impact strength by an average of 8,5 % and frost resistance after freezing compositions at -18 °C for 30 days by an average of 12,6 %. The research results of rheological and physic-mechanical properties allow choosing the rational composition to achieve the desired characteristics of the polymer material for production goods by injection molding. Melt flow index of the compositions increases with increasing amount of filler to 50 wt. %. which does not increase the production costs of the injection molding process in comparison with unfilled compositions.

Melt Flow

This research is to identify the difference in melt flow and mechanical properties in hybrid composites between kenaf and rice husk that each of the filler was compounded with composite material of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) and high density polyethylene (HDPE) in different loading amount. Different filler loading up to 30 parts of kenaf fibers and rice husk particulate were mixed with the fixed 30% amount of CaCO3. Compounded hybrid composite were prepared and tested for melt flow index, tensile and impact strength. Addition of both fillers had decreased melt flow index (MFI). MFI of rice husk/CaCO3 was higher than kenaf/CaCO3 in HDPE composites. Tensile strength, elongation at break and impact properties of both hybrid composites had decreased with increasing filler content. Tensile strength of kenaf/CaCO3 was higher than rice husk/CaCO3 due to intrinsic fiber structure of kenaf which has some reinforcing effect compared to rice husk. While, impact strength of rice husk/CaCO3 was improved with addition of filler but drastically decrease as the rice husk content were increased up to 30% due to high silica content in rice husk. The Youngs Modulus was increased with addition of natural fibers in CaCO3/HDPE composite.

In this study, acrylonitrile butadiene styrene polymer was exposed to 12 injection cycles to investigate the influence of recycling number on the mechanical, rheological, and morphological properties. Also, binary and ternary blends including different weight percentages and recycling number of virgin–recycled polymers were prepared. A slight decrement was found in the tensile strength values with recycling number. All blends including recycled polymer (binary or ternary) gave lower tensile strength values with respect to 100% virgin polymer. Strain at break value was decreased after twelve times recycling; however, no clear tendency was observed with the presence of different ratios of virgin polymer to recycled polymer. Impact strength of the polymer decreased with recycling number. There was relatively large drop in the third recycling, from 72 kJ/m2 to 38.5 kJ/m2; however, further recycling induced in a slower drop in the impact strength to 32.5 kJ/m2. All blends including recycled material gave lower impact strength values as compared to 100% virgin polymer. It was observed that the melt flow index values increased with the recycling number, a total of 26.53% after twelve times recycling. All blends containing recycled material showed higher melt flow index values as compared to 100% virgin polymer.

The present investigation deals with the viability of the use of recycled milk pouch material, which is a 50:50 mixture of LDPE and LLDPE, and the scope for improvement of its properties by combining it with virgin LDPE-LLDPE (50/50). Melt flow index (MFI), rheological properties, thermal and mechanical properties of the pure materials and their formulated blends containing recycled milk pouches were studied. The properties of the recycled materials were not as satisfactory as those of the corresponding virgin materials. But a significant improvement in viscosity, crystallinity, tensile strength and elongation at break of the recycled LDPE-LLDPE material was achieved by blending it with the corresponding virgin LDPE-LLDPE blend.

Melt Flow

In this research, calcium carbonate (CaCO3) was compounded with rice husk/high density polyethylene (HDPE) and kenaf/HDPE composite at different filler loadings to produce hybrid composites. Melt flow index (MFI) and mechanical properties of hybrid composite was investigated. From the test results, the addition of CaCO3 filler had decreased melt flow index (MFI) on both composites. In terms of mechanical properties, tensile strength, elongation at break and impact strength decreased, whereas Youngs Modulus increased with the increase of CaCO3 in both kenaf/HDPE and rice husk/HDPE composites. Impact strength of unfilled rice husk/HDPE composite was lower than unfilled kenaf/HDPE composite, however impact strength of CaCO3/rice husk/HDPE hybrid composite were found to have slightly higher than CaCO3/kenaf/HDPE hybrid composite with addition of 10% and 20% of CaCO3.

In this article, we investigated effect of carrier resin ratio and anti-oxidation additives content on properties of anti-oxidant additives Masterbatchs (MBs). The characteristics were measured by: melt flow index (MFI), morphology (SEM), tensile strength and elongation at break. The results indicated that: increasing LLDPE content in carrier resin led to decreasing mechanical properties, MFI weren’t uniform in MBs. With 80/20 of LDPE/LLDPE ratio, the tensile strength and elongation at break values were highest (21.0 MPa, 680.5 %). In addition, when increased anti-oxidant additives content, mechanical properties increased to upper limit value, then decreased. With 25 wt.% of anti-oxidant additives, the tensile strength and elongation at break values were highest (21.0 MPa, 654.7 %), MFI were uniform in MBs (12 g/10 m). SEM images were evidence of greatly distribution in sample containing 25 wt.% additives. Consequently, the 90/10 of LDPE/LLDPE ratio, 25 wt.% anti-oxidant additives were selected to prepare MBs.

Composite materials based on wood filler are promising materials that are actively conquering the market. This is due to the advantages of using these materials in various fields: weather resistance and environmental compatibility, easy machining and possibility of recycling. Furthermore, it is sustainable use of wastes of timber sawing and furniture and woodworking industries, as well as low-grade wood. Wood powder is also known to be one of the components of consumables used in additive 3D printing technologies. Over the last decade, the commercial use of 3D printers has increased rapidly due to the fact that it allows creating prototype objects of complex shape based on a computer model. Experimental studies were carried out to determine the tensile strength and rheological properties of a composite made of polylactide 4043D, untreated wood powder brand 140 and wood powder thermally modified at 200 and 240 °C. The composite is intended for creation of three-dimensional objects by extrusion using a 3D printer. It was found that with an increase in the amount of filler in the composite, the tensile strength decreases. Also, samples with thermally modified filler show an increase in tensile strength in comparison with samples with untreated filler. Prototypes of 3D threads with different composition were obtained, during the study of which the melt flow index was examined. It was found that with increasing temperature of wood filler treatment the melt flow index increases. With a lower content of wood powder in the melt composition, there is a 2-fold increase in the melt flow index. The knowing of the rheological properties of the resulting compositions will allow achieving maximum performance and reduction of energy and production costs.

Polylactide (PLA) was plasticized by two types of plasticizers, glycerol and triacetin. These plasticized PLA were mixed with carboxymethylcellulose (CMC). It was found that with only small amount of CMC, 4.5 wt%, it is effectively to lower glass transition, cold crystallization and melting temperatures of glycerol-plasticized PLA (PLA-g) but not much affected on tensile properties. Moreover, increasing amount of CMC twice could not much affect thermal properties but largely reduced tensile strength, modulus and elongation. The melt flow index of the PLA-g increased largely with the amount of CMC. When 4.5 wt% CMC was added to the glycerol-triacetin plasticized PLA, only glass transition temperature became lower than that of 4.5 wt% CMC filled PLA-g but melting temperature and crystallinity were rather increased with poorer mechanical properties. Increasing amount of CMC tended to enhance melting temperature but still rather poor mechanical properties and high melt flow index. So, the CMC had strong positive effect on melt and negative effect on solid properties of plasticized PLA.

The Impact

In this research, switchgrass (SG) fiber-reinforced poly(trimethylene terephthalate) (PTT) biocomposites were prepared by extrusion followed by injection molding machine. The methylene-diphenyl-diisocyanate-polybutadiene (MDIPB) prepolymer was used to enhance the impact strength of the biocomposites. In addition, the polymeric methylene-diphenyl-diisocyanate (PMDI) compatibilizer was used to enhance the mechanical properties of the composites. The effect of compatibilizer on mechanical, crystallization melting, thermomechanical, melt flow index (MFI), morphological, and thermal stability properties of the composites was studied. Thermomechanical properties of the biocomposites were studied by dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA). Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to observe the interfacial adhesion between the fiber and matrix. The results showed that MDIPB and PMDI have a significant effect on the mechanical properties of the composites. The impact strength of MDIPB- and PMDI-compatibilized composites was increased by 87 % when compared to the uncompatibilized composite.

Spinning Process

Ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) and high-density polyethylene (HDPE) blend fibers with the highest tensile strength of 1.13 GPa were prepared by a melt spinning process. The crystal structure and mechanical behavior of the as-spun filaments and fibers were studied by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atomic force microscope (AFM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), sound velocity orientation test and tensile strength test. The results suggested that the degree of molecular chain orientation, crystallinity and mechanical properties of the blend fibers were improved by blending with the low melt flow index (MFI) HDPE. The crystal grains of low MFI HDPE blend fibers that were formed by more highly oriented molecular chains could be stretched more effectively in the drawing direction, and the improved mechanical properties were due to the more regular and compact crystal structure.
