X Abstract

Interfacial slip between polymer melt under steady shear has been studied using a simplified multilayer structure. In this investigation, interfacial slip under dynamic shear was studied by calculating the angular displacements of the multilayer structure and its component layers. On the basis of the angular displacements, a slip index was defined to quantify the degree of interfacial slip. A relationship governing the rheological behavior of the multilayer structure under slip and nonslip condition was established. These results were correlated with equations derived from consideration of energy equilibrium in the multilayer structure. Polymer multilayer structures of high-density polyethylene/polystyrene and liquid crystal polymer(LCP)/poly ethylene naphthalate(PEN) were investigated. Of all the polymers investigated, large interfacial slip was found at LCP/PEN interface under dynamic shear. The high rigidity and alignment along the interface of LCP molecules was believed to prevent chain entanglement in the interfacial layer and therefore promote interfacial slip at the interface. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
