Capillary fracture

Another approach to fraction collection is the use of an on-column frit structure or capillary fracture that depends on the electroosmotic flow to deposit the eluent in a continuous manner on a moving surface. Although this approach circumvents the dilution problem, the collection structures are complex and can result in the loss of some of the analyte. One commercially available fraction collection device couples CE with membrane fraction collection, without the need for frits or capillary fractures. The outlet vial holder can be removed and replaced with a wetted circular polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) disk, which enables the collection of eluted analytes and subsequent manipulations such as immunoblotting and microsequencing. Figure 6.13 shows a schematic diagram of the CE membrane fraction collector interface.74...

Directed Oxidation of a Molten Metal. Directed oxidation of a molten metal or the Lanxide process (45,68,91) involves the reaction of a molten metal with a gaseous oxidant, eg, A1 with O2 in air, to form a porous three-dimensional oxide that grows outward from the metal/ceramic surface. The process proceeds via capillary action as the molten metal wicks into open pore channels in the oxide scale growth. Reinforced ceramic matrix composites can be formed by positioning inert filler materials, eg, fibers, whiskers, and/or particulates, in the path of the oxide scale growth. The resultant composite is comprised of both interconnected metal and ceramic. Typically 5—30 vol % metal remains after processing. The composite product maintains many of the desirable properties of a ceramic however, the presence of the metal serves to increase the fracture toughness of the composite. 

A computer-controlled rheology laboratory has been constructed to study and optimize fluids used in hydraulic fracturing applications. Instruments consist of both pressurized capillary viscometers and concentric cylinder rotational viscometers. Computer control, data acquisition and analysis are accomplished by two Hewlett Packard 1000 computers. Custom software provides menu-driven programs for Instrument control, data retrieval and data analysis. 

The most common cause of it is the neglect of 3-dimensional effects as compared with those in two dimensions. Thus, all stresses in a loaded wire or ribbon are disregarded in the shrinkage method, Section III. 1. The work of deformation leading to rupture is a bulk effect which does not receive its due consideration in the calculation of fracture energy, Section III.3. Bulk deformations associated with thermal etching, Section III.4, demand more attention than was alloted to them by many scientists. The method of bubbles, Section III.5, is invalid both because of the above neglect (that is, that of the volume stresses around the bubble) and because of another popular error, namely an erroneous treatment of capillary pressure Pc. 

If the sample is highly filled or elastic it may edge fracture and be expelled at high shear rates. This is usually very easy to spot, and there is little to be done about it in a rotational instrument. Highly elastic samples are measured in a capillary device at high shear rates where edge fracture is not a problem.

In addition to the compression loading, uniaxial extension of entangled PDMS chains have been investigated by pulling a small portion of the material and measuring elastic response before the rupture happens [419]. The multiple ruptures observed in the force-distance curves (Fig. 43) have been interpreted as fractures of an entangled network of PDMS chains formed between the tip and the silica grafted surface. At small deformations, also the capillary forces were shown to contribute in the force. The elastic part of the curves was described us-... 

Melt Fracture Instabilities in Capillary Flow of Polymer Melts. 

So far in this chapter we have looked into the viscous phenomena associated with the flow of polymer melts in capillaries. We now turn to the phenomena that are related to melt elasticity, namely (a) swelling of polymer melt extrudates (b) large pressure drops at the capillary entrance, compared to those encountered in the flow of Newtonian fluids and (c) capillary flow instabilities accompanied by extmdate defects, commonly referred to as melt fracture. ...
