Elongation of plasticized materials is more predictable and consistent with the mechanisms of plasticization than tensile strength. [Pg.199]

Polyolefins. Interest has been shown in the plasticization of polyolefins (5) but plasticizer use generally results in a reduction of physical properties (12), and compatibiHty can be achieved only up to 2 wt %. Most polyolefins give adequate physical properties without plasticization. There has been use of plasticizers with polypropylene to improve its elongation at break (7) although the addition of plasticizer can lower T, room temperature strength, and flow temperature. This can be overcome by simultaneous plasticization (ca 15 wt % level) and cross-linking. Plasticizers used include DOA. [Pg.129]

Polymer Plasticizer. Nylon, cellulose, and cellulose esters can be plasticized using sulfolane to improve flexibiUty and to increase elongation of the polymer (130,131). More importantly, sulfolane is a preferred plasticizer for the synthesis of cellulose hoUow fibers, which are used as permeabiUty membranes in reverse osmosis (qv) cells (131—133) (see Hollow-FIBERMEMBRANEs). In the preparation of the hoUow fibers, a molten mixture of sulfolane and cellulose triacetate is extmded through a die to form the hoUow fiber. The sulfolane is subsequently extracted from the fiber with water to give a permeable, plasticizer-free, hoUow fiber. [Pg.70]

Tensile elongation of PVA is extremely sensitive to humidity and ranges from < 10% when completely dry to 300—400% at 80% rh. Addition of plasticizer can double these values. Elongation is independent of degree of hydrolysis but proportional to the molecular weight. Teat strength increases with increasing relative humidity or with the addition of small amounts of plasticizer. [Pg.479]

Physical Factors. Unsatuiated elastomers must be stretched for ozone cracking to occur. Elongations of 3—5% are generally sufficient. Crack growth studies (10—18) have shown that some minimum force, called the critical stress, rather than a minimum elongation is required for cracking to occur. Critical stress values are neady the same for most unsaturated mbbers. However, polychloroprene has a higher critical stress value than other diene mbbers, consistent with its better ozone resistance. It has been found that temperature, plasticization, and ozone concentration have httie effect on critical stress values. [Pg.236]

Syndiotactic Polybutadiene. Syndiotactic polybutadiene is a unique material that combines the properties of plastic and mbber. It melts at high (150—220°C) temperatures, depending on the degree of crystallinity in the sample, and it can be molded into thin films that are flexible and have high elongation. The unique feature of this plastic-like material is that it can be blended with natural mbber. 1,4-Polybutadiene and the resulting blends exhibit a compatible formulation that combines the properties of plastic and mbber. [Pg.530]

The mechanical behavior of plastics is dominated by such viscoelastic phenomena as tensile strength, elongation at breaks, stiffness, and rupture energy, which are often the controlling factors in a design. The viscous attributes of plastic melt flow are also important considerations in the fabrication of plastic products. (Chapter 8, INFLUENCE ON PERFORMANCE, Viscoelasticity). [Pg.39]

Methods employed to determine the impact resistance of plastics include pendulum methods (Izod, Charpy, tensile impact, falling dart, Gardner, Dynatup, etc.) and instrumented techniques. In the case of the Izod test, what is measured is the energy required to break a test specimen transversely struck (the test can be done either with the specimen notched or unnotched). The tensile impact test has a bar loaded in tension and the striking force tends to elongate the bar (Chapter 5, Impact Strength). [Pg.91]

Specimens of NR ABS/(Octa -I- AO) heat-treated at 350°-400°C developed brittleness of connected pores, whereas VO ABS (Octa -1- AO -I- EPDM), similarly treated, was tougher with large elongated pores about twice the size of the non-treated specimen. Such behavior suggests an intumescent effect of EPDM, i.e. the development of a thick porous surface layer, inhibiting the diffusion of flammable products of plastic degradation towards the gas phase and heat transfer into the plactic mass. [Pg.335]

As shown in Figure 5, the overall elongation at break exhibited a maximum at a concentration of 20% PMMA. At higher concentrations of PMMA, the relative contribution of plastic (irreversible) deformation increased with increasing PMMA content, while that of elastic (reversible) deformation decreased. [Pg.173]

A rather complete survey of the entire field of viscometry, including the mathematical relationships applicable to various types of instruments, has been made by Philippoff (P4). The problem of slip at the walls of rotational viscometers has been discussed by Mooney (M15) and Reiner (R4). Mori and Ototake (M17) presented the equations for calculation of the physical constants of Bingham-plastic materials from the relationship between an applied force and the rate of elongation of a rod of such a fluid. ... [Pg.147]
