  4. Mechanical Properties

  5. Heat Distortion Temperature • The maximum temperature at which a polymer can be used in rigid material applications is called the softening or heat distortion temperature (HDT). • A typical test (plastic sheeting) involves application of a static load, and heating at a rate of 2oC per min. The HDT is defined as the temperature at which the • elongation becomes 2%. • A: Rigid poly(vinyl chloride) • 50 psi load. • B: Low-density poly(ethylene) • 50 psi load. • C: Poly(styrene-co-acrylonitrile) • 25 psi load. • D: Cellulose acetate • (Plasticized) 25 psi load.

  6. Transient Testing: Resilience of Cured Elastomers • Resilience tests reflect the ability of • an elastomeric compound to store • and return energy at a given • frequency and temperature. • Change of rebound • resilience (h/ho) with • temperature T for: • 1. cis-poly(isoprene); • 2. poly(isobutylene); • 3. poly(chloroprene); • 4. poly(methyl methacrylate).

  8. Ballpark Comparisons Tensile strengths Polymers: ~ 10 - 100 MPa Metals: 100’s - 1000’s MPa Elongation Polymers: up to 1000 % in some cases Metals: < 100% Moduli (Elastic or Young’s) Polymers: ~ 10 MPa - 4 GPa Metals: ~ 50 - 400 GPa

  9. Amorphous v Crystalline Polymers Thermo-mechanical properties

  10. Thermal Expansion If a part is to be produced within a close dimensional tolerance, careful consideration of thermal expansion/contraction must be made. Parts are produced in the melt state, and solidify to amorphous or semi-crystalline states. Changes in density must be taken into account when designing the mold.

  11. Thermal Expansion

  12. Stress Strain Studies

  13. Anatomy of a Stress Strain Graph /strain Elongation = 100% x   Initial slope is the Young’s Modulus (E’ or sometimes G) TS = tensile strength y = yield strength Toughness = Energy required to break (area under curve)

  14. Compression and Shear vs. Tensile Tests Stress-strain curves are very dependent on the test method. A modulus determined under compression is generally higher than one derived from a tensile experiment, as shown below for polystyrene. Tensile testing is most sensitive to material flaws and microscopic cracks. Compression tests tend to be characteristic of the polymer, while tension tests are more characteristic of sample flaws. Note also that flexural and shear test modes are commonly employed.

  15. Stress Strain Graphs Chains in neck align along elongation direction: strengthening  Elongation by extension of neck 

  16. Beyond “B”, the yield strength, deformations are plastic

  17. Ductility & Elongation (EL) EL < 5% Brittle EL > 5% Ductile Thermosets = strong & brittle Not Ductile Thermolastics = depends on T

Jastrzebski, The Nature and Properties of Engineering Materials, 3rd ed., John Wiley and Sons, 1987.) • Compare to responses of other polymers: --brittle response (aligned, cross linked & networked case) --plastic response (semi-crystalline case) 25

  20. Elastomer Molecules High entropy Low entropy Model of long elastomer molecules, with low degree of cross‑linking: (a) unstretched, and (b) under tensile stress. Low energy High energy

  22. Linear Elasticity: Possion Effect • Hooke's Law:  = E  • Poisson's ratio, : metals:  ~ 0.33 ceramics: ~0.25 polymers: ~0.40 Units: E: [GPa] or [psi] n: dimensionless Why does  have minus sign?

  23. Poisson Ratio • • Poisson Ratio has a range –1    1/2 • Look at extremes • No change in aspect ratio: • Volume (V = AL) remains constant:V =0. • Hence, V = (L A+A L) = 0. So, • In terms of width, A = w2, then A/A = 2 w w/w2 = 2w/w = –L/L. • Hence, Incompressible solid. Water (almost).

Poisson Ratio: materials specific Metals: Ir W Ni Cu Al Ag Au 0.26 0.29 0.31 0.34 0.34 0.38 0.42 generic value ~ 1/3 Solid Argon: 0.25 Covalent Solids: Si Ge Al2O3 TiC 0.27 0.28 0.23 0.19 generic value ~ 1/4 Ionic Solids: MgO 0.19 Silica Glass: 0.20 Polymers: Network (Bakelite) 0.49 Chain (PE) 0.40 Elastomer: Hard Rubber (Ebonite) 0.39 (Natural) 0.49

  25. Example: Poisson Effect • Tensile stress is applied along cylindrical brass rod (10 mm diameter). Poisson ratio is  = 0.34 and E = 97 GPa. • Determine load needed for 2.5x10–3 mm change in diameter if the deformation is entirely elastic? Width strain: (note reduction in diameter) x= d/d = –(2.5x10–3 mm)/(10 mm) = –2.5x10–4 Axial strain: Given Poissonratio z= –x/ = –(–2.5x10–4)/0.34 = +7.35x10–4 Axial Stress: z = Ez = (97x103 MPa)(7.35x10–4) = 71.3 MPa. Required Load:F = zA0 = (71.3 MPa)(5 mm)2 = 5600 N.

  39. Modulus versus temperature

  40. Viscous Response of Newtonian Liquids The top plane moves at a constant velocity, v, in response to a shear stress: A F Dx v y A There is a velocity gradient (v/y) normal to the area. The viscosityh relates the shear stress, ss, to the velocity gradient. The shear strain increases by a constant amount over a time interval, allowing us to define a strain rate: Units of s-1 The viscosity can thus be seen to relate the shear stress to the shear rate: hhas S.I. units of Pa s.

  41. Measuring viscosities 1 pascal second = 10 poise = 1,000 millipascal second 10-100,000 cP Requires standards
