Phase transitions in ethylene oxide-methyl methacrylate block copolymers

Richardson, Paul H. January 1993 (has links)
This thesis describes the methods of anionic polymerisation and characterisation of poly(ethylene oxide) - poly(methyl methacrylate) block copolymers. Several experimental techniques have been used to study the phase transitions in these block copolymers as well as the corresponding binary blends. These techniques have included the following: differential scanning calorimetry, optical microscopy, small angle light scattering, small angle and wide angle x-ray scattering. A major part of this work involved the design, construction and operation of the small angle light scattering technique. The isothermal crystallisation kinetics of both the block copolymers and blends with high percentages of ethylene oxide component were investigated. The phase behaviour of the block copolymers and the blends was also studied. This involved analysing melting point depression and glass d-ansition data as well as investigating the structural morphology of the polymer systems. The phase behaviour of the block copolymers and die blends containing intermediate component compositions was observed at temperatures below the melting point temperature of PEO. For two block copolymer systems containing 50% and 55% by weight ethylene oxide, the chemical joint within die block inhibited crystallisation directly from the melt. These block copolymers microphase separated at low temperatures forming microdomains rich in PEO. Upon heating, the PEO microdomains crystallised A phase diagram incorporating this behaviour as well as the phase behaviour of the blends is presented. The structure from the micron level and below of the phase separated and crystalline regions has also been deduced. A block copolymer containing 76% ethylene oxide by weight crystallised directly from the melt. The isothermal crystallisation mechanism was very similar to that of the corresponding blend, however, the rate of crystallisation was appreciably slower and the melting point reduced. Comparison of analysed data from several techniques has allowed the contributions to the isothermal crystallisation mechanism to be distinguished

Semi-analytisches Berechnungsmodell für den Reibwert trockenlaufender Kunststoffgleitpaarungen bei hohen Kontaktdrücken

Bergmann, André 19 April 2023 (has links)
Im Rahmen der Arbeit wurde ein semi-analytisches Berechnungsmodell für den Reibwert einzelner kugelförmiger Erhebungen erarbeitet, das die Berechnung der deformativen (μ_def) und adhäsiven (μ_adh) Reibanteile ermöglicht. Die Integration eines plastischen (Radius der Laufspur R_Spur) und eines viskosen (Rückstellwinkel ω) Verformungsanteils gestattet die Berechnung der realen Kontaktfläche während des Reibvorgangs. In Abhängigkeit des mittleren Kontaktdrucks kann damit der adhäsive Reibanteil μ_adh bestimmt werden. Die experimentelle Untersuchungen umfassten neben ungeschmierten Reibversuchen, die zur Ermittlung des gesamten Reibwertes (μ_ges) dienten, auch mit Silikonöl geschmierte Versuche aus denen sich μ_def ergibt. Anhand der Verifikationsversuche konnte einerseits gezeigt werden, dass beide Schmierungszustände zu gleichen Verformungen führen und andererseits wurde der Nachweis erbracht, dass der im Berechnungsmodell postulierte Zusammenhang zwischen dem Rückstellwinkel ω und μ_def Gültigkeit besitzt. Hierzu wurden Reibversuche mit segmentierten Kugeln durchgeführt, die eine gezielte Variation des Rückstellwinkels ω erlauben. Für beide untersuchten Reibpaarungen (Stahl | PE-UHMW und POM-C | PE-UHMW) kann abgeleitet werden, dass der deformative Reibanteil μ_def generell von untergeordneter Rolle ist (ca. 1/3 μ_ges) und der Einfluss des adhäsiven Reibanteils μ_adh überwiegt (ca. 2/3 μ_ges). Dabei sinkt μ_adh und folglich auch μ_ges mit zunehmendem Kontaktdruck p_(max,Ebene). Dieser wurde als verallgemeinerte Bezugsgröße eingeführt und beschreibt den maximalen Hertz´schen Kontaktdruck eines äquivalenten Kugel-Ebene-Kontaktes, der sich unter Eingabe des Kugelradius r_Kugel, der Normalkraft und der Verwendung der statischen E-Moduln beider Werkstoffe ergibt. Weiterhin zeigten die Untersuchungen, dass die oszillierende Bewegungsform im Vergleich zur rotierenden Bewegung immer einen erhöhten Reibwert μ_ges auszeichnet. Abschließend wurden noch Reibexperimente zu Mehrfachstrukturen aus POM-C mit je 6 Einzelerhebungen im Kontakt durchgeführt. Auch hier lag eine hohe Übereinstimmung zwischen Experiment und Modell vor. Es konnte gezeigt werden, dass Reibwerte für beide Bewegungsformen auf μ_ges ~ 0,13 gesenkt werden können. Bezogen auf den jeweiligen höchsten Reibwert (μ_(ges,rotierend) ~ 0,24, μ_(ges,oszillierend) ~ 0,34), welcher mit glatten Probekörpern ermittelt wurde, stellt dies eine erhebliche Reduktion dar. / In this thesis, a semi-analytical calculation model for the coefficient of friction (COF) of single spherical protrusions which allows the calculation of the deformative (μ_def) and adhesive (μ_adh) friction parts was developed. The integration of a plastic (radius of the running track R_Spur) and a viscous (rear angle ω) component of deformation allows the calculation of the real area of contact during the friction process. Depending on the mean contact pressure, the adhesive friction part μ_adh can be determined. The experimental studies included unlubricated friction tests, which served to determine the total COF (μ_ges), as well as tests being lubricated with silicone oil, from which μ_def is obtained. Based on the verification tests, it could be shown that both states of lubrication result in the same deformation and that the relationship between the rear angle ω and μ_def postulated in the calculation model is valid. Therefore, friction tests were carried out with segmented spheres, which allow a specific variation of the rear angle ω. For both friction pairings investigated (steel | PE-UHMW and POM-C | PE-UHMW), it can be concluded that the deformative friction part μ_def is generally of minor significance (approx. 1/3 μ_ges) and the influence of the adhesive friction part μ_adh predominates (approx. 2/3 μ_ges). Thereby μ_adh and consequently also μ_ges decreases with increasing contact pressure p_(max,Ebene). The latter was introduced as a generalised reference value and describes the maximum Hertzian contact pressure of an equivalent sphere-plane contact, which is obtained by entering the radius of the sphere r_Kugel, the normal force and using the static E-moduli of both materials. Furthermore, the investigations revealed that the oscillating form of motion always has an increased COF μ_ges compared to the rotating motion. Finally, friction experiments on multiple structures made of POM-C were carried out, each with 6 individual protrusions in contact. Also here, there was good agreement between the experiment and the model. It could be demonstrated that COF for both forms of motion can be reduced to μ_ges ~ 0.13. In comparison to the highest COF (μ_(ges,rotating) ~ 0.24, μ_(ges,oscillating) ~ 0.34), which were obtained with flat specimens, this is a significant reduction.
