structures,cholesteric,smectic A,smectic C,discotic,nematic,10,Glassy State,State of a polymer depends on the,temperature,and on the,time,allotted to the experiment.,At low temperatures all amorphous polymers become,stiff and glassy,.,The glassy state corresponds to an,absence of long range motion of chains,.,If we increase the temperature,a glassy polymer will soften and become rubberythe temperature where this transition occurs is call the glass transition temperature,T,g,.,T,g,is the most important characteristic temperature of amorphous polymers.,11,Measurement of T,g,by DSC,Example of differential scanning calorimetry(,DSC,)trace of poly(ethylene terephthalate-,stat,-,p,-oxbenzoate),quenched,reheated,and cooled at 0.5 K/min through the glass transition,and reheated for measurement at 10 K/min.T,g,is taken at the temperature at which half the increase in heat capacity has occurred.The width of the glass transition is indicated by,D,T.Note that,D,H,c,and,D,H,f,are equal in magnitude but opposite in sign.,12,Effect of Molecular Weight on T,g,As molecular weight increases,the density of chain ends decreases,causing a decrease in free volume.,Effect can be expressed with the following equation,where,K,is a constant depending on the polymer type,and,a,R,and,a,G,represented the cubic(volume)expansion coefficients in the rubbery and glassy states,respectively,.,Polystyrene,T,g,(,o,C),log M,n,13,Dependence of T,g,on Chemical Structure,Factors that increase energy required for molecular motion increase T,g,and factors that decrease this energy decrease T,g,;,Nature of intermolecular bonding;,Chain flexibility:,segmental mobility is highly dependent on chain stiffness;,Side chain substitution:,(1),Short bulky groups increase T,g,(stiffen chain by hindering rotation);,(2),Long linear flexible pendant groups lower T,g,(internal diluents,hinder packing,increase free volume);,(3),Non-symmetrical or symmetrical

free volume and decrease T,g,.,Plasticizers:organic,high boiling point,weakly polar.,T,g,:-150 to 50,o,C.,Aromatic diesters,phosphates.,Example:PVC(polyvinyl chloride)T,g,=87,o,C.Plasticizer lowers T,g,and broadens transition region between glassy and rubbery region.,18,Effect of Copolymerization or Blending on T,g,The T,g,of a blend or a random copolymer can be estimated from the following equation where,D,C,p,refers to the change in heat capacity at the glass transition and M,i,is the mass fraction of component i;,This relation is often simplified to the,Fox equation,:,Both of these equations also apply to plasticizers which are small molecules added to polymers to reduce T,g,.,19,Glass Transition Temperature of Polymer Blends,20,Five Regions of Viscoelastic Behavior,Solid

flow region,21,Regions of Viscoelastic Behavior,Difference is in the range of,molecular motions,that are possible.,Glass region,:only vibrational or short range rotational motions(1 to 4 chain atoms involved).,Glass transition region,:onset of long range coordinated motions(10-50 chain atoms involved).,Rubbery plateau,:rapid coordinated motions of much of the chain:,(1)for semi-crystalline and crosslinked polymers the chain segments between crystallites or crosslinks move in a coordinated manner;,(2)for linear amorphous polymers the chain segments between entanglements can move.,Flow region,:only exists in the absence of crosslinks,entire chain can move in a coordinated fashion(reptation).,22,Effect of Molecular Weight on Length of Plateau,PB:Polybutadiene,The width of the plateau,is governed primarily by,the,molecular weight,.,The higher the molecular,weight,the longer is the,plateau.,When the molecular weight,is lower than No.4,it is,possible for the plateau to,disappear due to the lack,of“,entanglement,”.,23,Time-Temperature Superposition,Time-temperature equivalence,implies that the viscoelastic behavior can,be related to that at another temperature by

Ph.D.student Sylvana Garcia-Rodrigues from Columbia.Ms.Garcia-Rodrigues is studying rheology in the Mechanical Engineering Department at U.of Wisconsin-Madison,USA.,The Apparatus shown was created by,UW Madison Professors Emeriti John L.Schrag and Arthur S.Lodge.The fluid shown is a 2%aqueous polyacrylamide solution,and the rotational speed is nominally 0.5 Hz.Photo by Carlos Arango Sabogal(2006),Rod Climbing,39,(,N,):For the Newtonian fluids the surface near the rod is slightly,depressed,and acts as a sensitive manometer for the,smaller pressure near the rod,generated by centrifugal force.,(N),(P),(,P,):The Polymeric fluids exhibit an extra tension along the streamlines,that is,in the“,”direction.In terms of chemical structure,this extra tension arises from the,stretching,and,alignment,of the polymer molecules along the streamlines.The thermal motions make the polymer molecules act as small“rubber bands”wanting to snap back.,Phenomenological

polymers better in processing.,Ductless Siphon:Extensional Thickening,45,“,Rheology:Principles,Measurements,and Applications,”,by Christopher W.Macosko.,Some,non-Newtonian fluids,can be stretched out of for short,times like,a solid,.,When a siphon is slowly,removed from a,Newtonian fluid,it breaks very close to the surface,but some,complex fluids,can be,pulled up many centimeters,above the free surface.,Polymeric and other complex,liquids can show,much higher,viscosities in extension than in,shear.,Applications:Fiber spinning and film forming,Flow-induced Change,Flow-induced crystallization,.,Associating polymer solutions.Micelles,.,Shear mixing and de-mixing.,46,Shear-induced mixing is interpreted as being a disruption of slightly entangled clusters under the influence of the shear energy.,Newtonian Fluids,47,Newtonian fluids,show the relationship between shear stress and shear rate and the fluids viscosity at a varying shear rate.Typical Newtonian fluids include water and thin motor oils.,So,at a given temperature the viscosity of a Newtonian fluid remains constant regardless of which viscometer model,spindle or speed is used to measure it.,The behavior of Newtonian liquids in experiments conducted at constant temperature and pressure has the following features:the only stress generated in simple shear flow is the shear stress,the two normal stress differences are zero the shear viscosity doesnt vary with shear rate;the viscosity is constant with respect to the time of shearing and the stress in liquid falls to zero immediately the shearing is stopped;the viscosities measured in different types of deformation are always in simple proportion to one another.,A liquid showing any deviation from the above features is non-Newtonian.,www.sju.edu/phabdas/physics/rheo.html,Non-Newtonian Fluids:Pseudoplastic,48,The,viscosity,of non-Newtonian fluids,changes,as the,shear rate is varied,.Thus,the parameters of viscometer model,spindle and rotational speed all have an effect on the measured viscosity.This measured viscosity is called apparent viscosity and is accurate when explicit experimental parameters are adhered to.There are several types of non-Newtonian flow behavior,characterized by the way a fluids viscosity changes in response to variations in shear rate.,www.sju.edu/phabdas/physics/rheo.html,Pseudoplastic:,Fluid displays a decreasing viscosity with an increasing shear rate,some examples include paints and emulsions.This type
