The Role of Fluid Rheology

Kinematics of Deformation
• As we have seen, there are three major classes of extensional flow:
vx = − 12
ε0(1+ b)x
v y = − 12 ε0(1− b)y
vz = ε0z
Simple Shear
Simple Shear-Free FlowFiber-spinning Thermoforming Calendering/rolling
b = flow type parameter
Fiber-spinning
vx = γ y

Transient Extensional Rheometry
• The extensional viscosity is best considered as a transient material function: follow evolution from equilibrium to steady state (or break-up!)

Nonlinear Extensional Viscosity
• Extensional flows are “strong flows” which result in extensive moleculardeformation, microstructural alignment and high tensile stresses
Applications: fiber-spinning, blow-molding, sheet-molding, extrusion, coating

Polymer Melts
• SER Universal Testing Platform: specifically designedso that it can be easily accommodated onto a numberof commercially available torsional rheometers
• TA Instruments version;EVF = Extensional Viscosity Fixture
• Can be housed within the host system’s environmentalchamber for controlled temperature experiments.
Requires only 5-200mg of material Can be used up to temperatures of 250°C
Easily detachable for fixture changeover/clean-up
Validation Experiments: LDPE (BASF Lupolen® 1840H) (Sentmanat, Wang & McKinley; JoR Mar/Apr (2005) Mn = 17,000; Mw = 243,000; Mw/ Mn = 14.3 CH3/1000C = 23 Very similar to the IUPAC A reference material Same polymer as that used by

Comparison of LDPE Stress Growth Curves

• Good agreement with LVE response at short times (t ≥ 0.01 s)• Increasing strain-hardening and sample rupture at high rates
• The results with the SER (red curves) show excellent agreementwith literature results from Münstedt et al. (black symbols & lines)
ηE+ = 3η+ (t)
12
The Role of Chain-Branching
• Extensional stress growth is astrong function of the level ofmolecular branching.
• Branch points act as ‘crosslinks’that efficiently elongate chainsand transmit stress…
Provided they are long enough to be entangled

Drag Reduction and Jet Breakup
• Extensional effects from polymer additives can dramatically reduce theextent of turbulent dissipation in high Reynolds number flows
• Applications include: Wake reduction: sailing, submarines, high-speed swimming (dolphins)
Flow-rate enhancement: storm drains, firehoses...

Increasing �Flow strength�
Summary�
• A number of well-characterized instruments now exist for performingmeasurements of transient extensional rheometry for fluids spanning range fromdilute solution to the melt� ‘constant volume’ devices: e.g. FISER, CABER, Münstedt Rheometer � ‘constant length’ devices: e.g. EVF, SER, RME = Meissner Rheometer
• Understanding the kinematics imposed by the instrument and the dynamics offilament evolution is essential in order to extract the true material functions
• Challenges still remain:� Theory for filament deformation and rupture at very high strains � Measurements for ‘weakly elastic’ materials “non-spinnable materials” � Understanding and exploiting extensional viscosity on the microscale:
