Surface elastic moduli orientation

The two-component system—crystal lamellae or blocks alternating with amorphous layers which are reinforced by tie molecules— results in a mechanism of mechanical properties which is drastically different from that of low molecular weight solids. In the latter case it is based on crystal defects and grain boundaries. In the former case it depends primarily on the properties and defects of the supercrystalline lattice of lamellae alternating with amorphous surface layers (in spherulitic, transcrystalline or cylindritic structure) or of microfibrils in fibrous structure, and on the presence, number, conformation and spatial distribution of tie molecules. It matters how taut they are, how well they are fixed in the crystal core of the lamellae or in the crystalline blocks of the microfibrils and how easily they can be pulled out of them. In oriented material the orientation of the amorphous component (/,) is a good indicator of the amount of taut tie molecules present and hence an excellent parameter for the description of mechanical properties. In fibrous structure it directly measures the fraction and strength of microfibrils present and therefore turns out to be almost proportional to elastic modulus and strength in the fibre direction. [Pg.44]

This behaviour is ascribed to various reasons such as surface tension, chain alignment and the formation of crystalline structures as well as core/shell structure of nanofibres [251, 252, 254, 255]. For instance, Arinsten et al. [253, 256] suggested a model based on the concept of a supramolecular strucmre of the amorphous phase, consisting of oriented fragments of polymer chains. A manifested mechanism of confinement effect was shown to provide the size-dependent elastic modulus of electrospun nanofibres. [Pg.122]

There are different techniques that have been used for over a century to increase the modulus of elasticity of plastics. Orientation or the use of fillers and/or reinforcements such as RPs can modify the plastic. There is also the popular and extensively used approach of using geometrical design shapes that makes the best use of materials to improve stiffness even though it has a low modulus. Structural shapes that are applicable to all materials include shells, sandwich structures, and folded plate structures (Fig. 3-8). These widely used shapes employed include other shapes such as dimple sheet surfaces. They improve the flexural stiffness in one or more directions. [Pg.141]
