Dynamic mechanical analysis techniques permit measurement of the ability of materials to store and dissipate mechanical energy during deformation. DMA is used to determine the modulus, glass transition, mechanical damping and impact resistance, etc., of thermoplastics, thermosets, elastomers and other polymer materials. Information regarding the phase separation of polymers is also available by DMA [2]. In DMA, viscoelastic materials are deformed in a sinusoidal, low strain displacement and their responses are measured. Elastic modulus and energy dissipation are the measured properties. [Pg.371]

The kinetic nature of the glass transition should be clear from the last chapter, where we first identified this transition by a change in the mechanical properties of a sample in very rapid deformations. In that chapter we concluded that molecular motion could simply not keep up with these high-frequency deformations. The complementarity between time and temperature enters the picture in this way. At lower temperatures the motion of molecules becomes more sluggish and equivalent effects on mechanical properties are produced by cooling as by frequency variations. We shall return to an examination of this time-temperature equivalency in Sec. 4.10. First, however, it will be profitable to consider the possibility of a thermodynamic description of the transition which occurs at Tg. [Pg.244]

In this section we resume our examination of the equivalency of time and temperature in the determination of the mechanical properties of polymers. In the last chapter we had several occasions to mention this equivalency, but never developed it in detail. In examining this, we shall not only acquire some practical knowledge for the collection and representation of experimental data, but also shall gain additional insight into the free-volume aspect of the glass transition. [Pg.256]

Glass Transition. The glass-transition temperature T reflects the mechanical properties of polymers over a specified temperature range. [Pg.162]

Molecular Weight. The values of the mechanical properties of polymers increase as the molecular weight increases. However, beyond some critical molecular weight, often about 100,000 to 200,000 for amorphous polymers, the increase in property values is slight and levels off asymptotically. As an example, the glass-transition temperature of a polymer usually follows the relationship... [Pg.163]

Relatively few processible polyimides, particularly at a reasonable cost and iu rehable supply, are available commercially. Users of polyimides may have to produce iutractable polyimides by themselves in situ according to methods discussed earlier, or synthesize polyimides of unique compositions iu order to meet property requirements such as thermal and thermoxidative stabilities, mechanical and electrical properties, physical properties such as glass-transition temperature, crystalline melting temperature, density, solubility, optical properties, etc. It is, therefore, essential to thoroughly understand the stmcture—property relationships of polyimide systems, and excellent review articles are available (1—5,92). [Pg.405]

Thermal Properties. Spider dragline silk was thermally stable to about 230°C based on thermal gravimetric analysis (tga) (33). Two thermal transitions were observed by dynamic mechanical analysis (dma), one at —75° C, presumed to represent localized mobiUty in the noncrystalline regions of the silk fiber, and the other at 210°C, indicative of a partial melt or a glass transition. Data from thermal studies on B. mori silkworm cocoon silk indicate a glass-transition temperature, T, of 175°C and stability to around 250°C (37). The T for wild silkworm cocoon silks were slightly higher, from 160 to 210°C. [Pg.78]

The dynamic mechanical properties of VDC—VC copolymers have been studied in detail. The incorporation of VC units in the polymer results in a drop in dynamic modulus because of the reduction in crystallinity. However, the glass-transition temperature is raised therefore, the softening effect observed at room temperature is accompanied by increased brittleness at lower temperatures. These copolymers are normally plasticized in order to avoid this. Small amounts of plasticizer (2—10 wt %) depress T significantly without loss of strength at room temperature. At higher levels of VC, the T of the copolymer is above room temperature and the modulus rises again. A minimum in modulus or maximum in softness is usually observed in copolymers in which T is above room temperature. A thermomechanical analysis of VDC—AN (acrylonitrile) and VDC—MMA (methyl methacrylate) copolymer systems shows a minimum in softening point at 79.4 and 68.1 mol % VDC, respectively (86). [Pg.434]

Tackifying resins enhance the adhesion of non-polar elastomers by improving wettability, increasing polarity and altering the viscoelastic properties. Dahlquist [31 ] established the first evidence of the modification of the viscoelastic properties of an elastomer by adding resins, and demonstrated that the performance of pressure-sensitive adhesives was related to the creep compliance. Later, Aubrey and Sherriff [32] demonstrated that a relationship between peel strength and viscoelasticity in natural rubber-low molecular resins blends existed. Class and Chu [33] used the dynamic mechanical measurements to demonstrate that compatible resins with an elastomer produced a decrease in the elastic modulus at room temperature and an increase in the tan <5 peak (which indicated the glass transition temperature of the resin-elastomer blend). Resins which are incompatible with an elastomer caused an increase in the elastic modulus at room temperature and showed two distinct maxima in the tan <5 curve. [Pg.620]
