A polymer chain can be approximated by a set of balls connected by springs. The springs account for the elastic behaviour of the chain and the beads are subject to viscous forces. In the Rouse model [35], the elastic force due to a spring connecting two beads is f= bAr, where Ar is the extension of the spring and the spring constant is ii = rtRis the root-mean-square distance of two successive beads. The viscous force that acts on a bead is...

We refer to this model as the bead-spring model and to its theoretical development as the Rouse theory, although Rouse, Bueche, and Zimm have all been associated with its development. 

Although the Rouse theory is the source of numerous additional relationships, Eq. (3.98) is a highpoint for us, because it demonstrates that the viscosity we are dealing with in the Rouse theory for viscoelasticity is the same quantity that we would obtain in a flow experiment. Several aspects of this statement deserve amplification ... 

Inspection of Fig. 3.9 suggests that for polyisobutylene at 25°C, Ti is about lO hr. Use Eq. (3.101) to estimate the viscosity of this polymer, remembering that M = 1.56 X 10. As a check on the value obtained, use the Debye viscosity equation, as modified here, to evaluate M., the threshold for entanglements, if it is known that f = 4.47 X 10 kg sec at this temperature. Both the Debye theory and the Rouse theory assume the absence of entanglements. As a semi-empirical correction, multiply f by (M/M. ) to account for entanglements. Since the Debye equation predicts a first-power dependence of r) on M, inclusion of this factor brings the total dependence of 77 on M to the 3.4 power as observed. 

Table 3.5 Rouse Theory Expressions for the Modulus (entries labeled 1) and Compliances (entries labeled 2) for Tension and Shear Under Different Conditions ...

We observed above that the Rouse expression for the shear modulus is the same function as that written for a set of Maxwell elements, except that the summations are over all modes of vibration and the parameters are characteristic of the polymers and not springs and dashpots. Table 3.5 shows that this parallel extends throughout the moduli and compliances that we have discussed in this chapter. In Table 3.5 we observe the following ... 

The purpose of these comparisons is simply to point out how complete the parallel is between the Rouse molecular model and the mechanical models we discussed earlier. While the summations in the stress relaxation and creep expressions were included to give better agreement with experiment, the summations in the Rouse theory arise naturally from a consideration of different modes of vibration. It should be noted that all of these modes are overtones of the same fundamental and do not arise from considering different relaxation processes. As we have noted before, different types of encumbrance have different effects on the displacement of the molecules. The mechanical models correct for this in a way the simple Rouse model does not. Allowing for more than one value of f, along the lines of Example 3.7, is one of the ways the Rouse theory has been modified to generate two sets of Tp values. The results of this development are comparable to summing multiple effects in the mechanical models. In all cases the more elaborate expressions describe experimental results better. 

The first-break roUs of a mill are cormgated rather than smooth like the reduction roUs that reduce the particles of endosperm further along in the process. The rollers are paired and rotate inward against each other and at different speeds. The clearance between rollers and the pressure as well as the speed of each separate roUer, can be adjusted. At each breaking step, the miller selects the milling surface and the cormgations the speed of and interrelation between the rollers depend on the type and condition of the wheat. 

Lay-up proceeds by laying down the veneer which is to be the back surface of the panel. Then a sufficient number of pieces of core veneer are passed through the glue spreader to form the next layer of cross-oriented veneer. The glue spreader commonly used in hardwood plywood manufacture is a roU coater in which a pair of opposing mbber roUs are coated with a thin layer of adhesive. As the veneer is passed between the roUs, the adhesive is transferred to the surfaces of the veneer. Adhesive is appHed only to the cross-pfles and in sufficient quantity to provide a continuous layer on both opposing faces of veneer. Thus, in the case of a three-ply panel, only the core layer is spread with adhesive and in that of a five-ply panel, the second and fourth layers both of which are cross-pfles, are spread with adhesive. Then the top surface veneer, which is normally the decorative surface, is placed on the assembly. 

Coated abrasives are suppHed in widths ranging from 3.175 mm to 2.2 m in standard 45.7-m roUs. They are also formed into sheets, disks, and molded cods or rods. Belts, regularly suppHed in the widths mentioned, have been made up to 3 m wide. 

In manufacture, the abrasive grain is mixed with cmde mbber, sulfur, and other ingredients for curing, then passed through calender roUs to produce a sheet of desired thickness. The wheels are stamped from this sheet and heated under pressure to vulcanise the mbber. 

The rolling operations that foUow take place first on hot (95°C) differential-speed roUs which dry and coUoid the paste and convert it iato sheet form, and then on even-speed roUs which produce smoothly surfaced propellant sheets ia which all iagredients have been uniformly iacorporated. The roU gap ia the differeatial roUs is adjustable to produce sheets of various thicknesses, and rolling is continued until the moisture is reduced to a predetermined level, usually less than 0.5%. The sheet is then cut off the roU. Differential rolling is potentially hazardous, and fires are not uncommon, although detonations are not apt to occur. Operations are conducted by remote control.
