Abstract Ten different raw elastomers of varied chemical structure and Mooney viscosity were characterized with both tensile stress-strain behavior and dynamic shear behavior. The room temperature tensile stress-strain behavior was determined at strain rates of 0.239, 0.0892, and 0.00653 sec−1. These stress-strain data were reduced with a use of strain-time correspondence principle. The dynamic-shear behavior was observed over the frequency range from 10−2 to 102 rad/s. Double logarithmic Cole-Cole plots were used to characterize a relative degree of long branching and gel content. The reduced data of tensile stress-strain measurements were compared to the data of dynamic measurements. From this comparison, the sample containing a long-range crosslinked network was differentiated from that containing microgel.

Abstract Four NBR's and 2 SBR's with 40 phr carbon black and one SBR with 56 phr carbon black were characterized in both tensile stress-strain behavior and small-strain dynamic-shear behavior. The room temperature tensile stress-strain behavior was determined at strain rates of 0.00690, 0.0187, 0.0975, 0.0162, and 0.253 s−1. For dynamic-shear observations, loss and storage moduli were used to calculate the complex viscosity-frequency curve at small deformations and frequencies of 0.1 to 100 rad/s. Also, these data from tensile and shear experiments were compared with previous data from a capillary rheometer, high-speed tensile tester, and oscillatory tensile tester. Strain-time correspondence was found applicable to large-deformation tensile data up to the yield point. The formation of an anisotropic aggregate density in elongational deformation explains the higher viscosity and modulus for tensile behavior relative to small-strain shear behavior at similar conditions. In shear deformation and flow, the formation of an anisotropic density of aggregates does not seem to occur appreciably.

Abstract Unidirectional cord-rubber specimens in the form of tensile coupons and sandwich beams were used. Using specimens with the cords oriented at 0°, 45°, and 90° to the loading direction and appropriate data reduction, we were able to obtain complete characterization for the in-plane stress-strain response of single-ply, unidirectional cord-rubber composites. All strains were measured by means of liquid mercury strain gages, for which the nonlinear strain response characteristic was obtained by calibration. Stress-strain data were obtained for the cases of both cord tension and cord compression. Materials investigated were aramid-rubber, polyester-rubber, and steel-rubber.

Mode Of Failure

ABSTRACTFundamental mechanical properties of a-C:H (amorphous or “diamond-like” carbon, DLC) thin film coatings have been investigated. Coatings were deposited by a methane-argon RF plasma on polycarbonate films. Tensile stress-strain behavior of the coated polymer was studied using an extensometer to monitor strain. The differences in moduli between uncoated and coated samples were used to calculate apparent coating moduli, which varied from 1 GPA to 82 GPa. The mode of failure was observed via in-situ optical microscopy during deformation. Intrinsic bond strength of the coating/substrate interface was estimated from crack spacings in the deformed coating.

Acrylonitrile Copolymers

Abstract Capillary rheometry of carbon-black-filled butadiene—acrylonitrile copolymers at 125°C was performed over a wide shear rate range. The data were corrected for pressure loss in the barrel and at the capillary entrance, and for the non-Newtonian velocity profile (Rabinowitsch correction). No appreciable effect of pressure on viscosity was observed. The die swell values were very small, 1.1–1.4. This fact and the shape of the plots of shear stress vs. shear rate imply the presence of a particulate structure, which is probably built by carbon black surrounded with bound rubber. Unlike the behavior of raw amorphous elastomers, the steady-shear viscosity, the dynamic complex viscosity, and the viscosity calculated from tensile stress-strain behavior were significantly different from each other. That is, the capillary flow data indicated an alteration of the structure towards strain softening, and the tensile stress-strain behavior showed strain hardening, indicating retention of the structure up to the yield point. In the dynamic measurement, being conducted at very small strain, the structure is least disturbed. With unfilled elastomers essentially the same deformational mechanism was believed to be responsible in these three measurements, because the results can be expressed by a single master curve.
