Resistance, plastics

At the two-multiple loading test, the samples were preliminarily exposed to the stretch exertions effect until the level G, which is O.S B (do not influence on the residual resistance) and the AE total calculation (Nl) was registered. After the test, samples were unloaded entirely, then loaded repeatedly until the initial level 6, and the AE total calculation (N2) was registered again. The ratio K=Nl / N2 was taken as a criteria parameter of the carbon plastic resistance (table 1). If the value of K is considerably exceeding 1, then the samples resistance is quite high. If the value of K is close to or less than 1 - it means that the samples have low resistance.

Acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber (also called nitrile or nitrile butadiene rubber) was commercially available in 1936 under the name Buna-N. It was obtained by emulsion polymerization of acrylonitrile and butadiene. During World War II, NBR was used to replace natural rubber. After World War II, NBR was still used due to its excellent properties, such as high oil and plasticizer resistance, excellent heat resistance, good adhesion to metallic substrates, and good compatibility with several compounding ingredients. 

Block copolymers can contain crystalline or amorphous hard blocks. Examples of crystalline block copolymers are polyurethanes (e.g. B.F. Goodrich s Estane line), polyether esters (e.g. Dupont s Hytrel polymers), polyether amides (e.g. Atofina s Pebax grades). Polyurethanes have enjoyed limited utility due to their relatively low thermal stability use temperatures must be kept below 275°F, due to the reversibility of the urethane linkage. Recently, polyurethanes with stability at 350°F for nearly 100 h have been claimed [2]. Polyether esters and polyether amides have been explored for PSA applications where their heat and plasticizer resistance is a benefit [3]. However, the high price of these materials and their multiblock architecture have limited their use. All of these crystalline block copolymers consist of multiblocks with relatively short, amorphous, polyether or polyester mid-blocks. Consequently they can not be diluted as extensively with tackifiers and diluents as styrenic triblock copolymers. Thereby it is more difficult to obtain strong, yet soft adhesives — the primary goals of adding rubber to hot melts. 

Kraton Polymers has developed a multiarm SIS (Kraton 1320X [37,46,47,50]) and SBS (Kraton KX-222C, [48,49]) for rapid UV/e-beam cure. Besides heat resistance improvements, plasticizer resistance is also improved in cured rubber-based systems. The dioctyl phthlate plasticizer common in PVC backing films is soluble in the styrenic domains of SBCs. Crosslinking of the mid-block provides cohesion even after plasticizer attack [51]. 

The indentation process is driven by the applied load, and resisted by two principal factors the resistance of the specimen to plastic deformation (and elastic deformation) plus the frictional resistance at the indenter/specimen interface. The ratio of these resistances changes with the size of the indentation because the plastic resistance is proportional to the volume of the indentation, while the frictional resistance is proportional to the surface area of the indentation. Therefore, the ratio varies as the reciprocal indentation size. This interpretation has been tested and found to be valid by Bystrzycki and Varin (1993).

The increased impulse capacity of a structure is proportional to the square root of the increase in the area under the resistance-deflection curve. The effect of mass can be easily shown with the following equation for the impulse capacity of a ductile element with large allowable deflection and a perfectly plastic resistance function (as shown in Figure 4b). 

It is necessary to remember that the combination of several factors often has a synergistic effect a plastic resistant to a chemical in the absence of mechanical stress and at ambient temperature can crack quickly when exposed to the under load and be degraded more or less quickly in the event of a temperature rise.

If the determined indentation depth at 5 mN is used to calculate the ratio of load (5 mN) and depth as a measure for plastic resistance, the result for typical 1 K, 2 K and UV systems is the correlation [20] shown in Fig. 4. It has to be noted that in comparison with Fig. 3 the reciprocal value of the indentation depth is actually plotted on the y-axis. Therefore, a good scratch resistance is the result of high values for the critical load and also high values for the plastic resistance. 

In general, the activation of shear yielding in a glassy polymer reduces its plastic resistance to further deformation. When strain softening occurs the deformation becomes unstable to small perturbations of the stress field. This instability results in the formation and growth of defonnation zones, the shape of which are controlled by the strain softening and strain hardening characteristics of the material...
