Chapter 14 - Polymers Polymers are long chains of repeating organic molecules. Molecules are formed by covalent bonds with secondary forces between molecules. Types of Polymers: A. Elastomers -Polymers that have rubberlike properties; at room temperature, stretches under a low stress to at least twice its length and then quickly returns to almost its original length upon removal of the stress. B. Plastics - A large and varied group of synthetic materials which are processed by forming or molding into shape.

Polymerization -Process by which small molecules are joined to create long chains of a polymer. a. Initiation: An ethylene molecule (C2H4) is activated so that the double C bond is replaced by a single bond. b. Growth: Individual “mer units” of ethylene join to form the “polymer” polyethylene [ (C2H4)n ] consisting of many “mers” c. Termination: when two chains combine -- or impurities terminate the polymer chain.

Polymer Molecular Structure • Polymer = many mers • Chain configurations and strength: Direction of increasing strength

Molecular Weight • Molecular weight, Mw: Mass of a mole of chains. Average Molecular weight a) number-average molecular weight -- based on the number fraction of chains within various size ranges. weight-average molecular weight -- based on the weight fraction of chains within the size ranges. Polymer characteristics (e.g., melting temperature, and tensile strength increases with molecular weight) are affected by the magnitude of the molecular weight. Longer chains are entangled (anchored) better.

Example: Assume that the molecular weight distribution shown are for polyvinyl chloride. For this material, compute (a) the mer molecular weight, (b) the number-average molecular weight and degree of polymerization, (c) the weight-average molecular weight and degree of polymerization.

Mechanical Behavior of Polymers --elastomer (heavily kinked cross-linked amorphous chains) --brittle response (aligned, cross linked & networked case) --plastic response (semi-crystalline case)

Tensile Properties: Brittle and Plasic

Plastics 1. Thermoplastics 2. Thermosetting plastics (thermosets) - can be repeatedly softened when heated and harden when cooled into a different shape, without changing the final basic structure or properties of the polymer. - little cross-linking; carbon chains are held together only by weak Van der Waals bonds. 2. Thermosetting plastics (thermosets) - formed into a permanent shape and cured or “set” by a chemical reaction cannot be remelted and reformed into another shape but decompose upon being heated to too high a temperature ---> cannot be recycled. - large cross linking (10 to 50% of mers); network of carbon atoms covalently bonded to form a rigid solid --> hard and brittle; stronger than thermoplastics. - epoxies, vulcanized rubber, polyester resin (used for matrix material for fiberglass), phenolics (used for friction materials and for printed circuit boards).

T AND STRAIN RATE: THERMOPLASTICS • Decreasing T... --increases E --increases TS --decreases %EL • Increasing strain rate... --same effects as decreasing T.

SUMMARY • General drawbacks to polymers: • Thermoplastics: -- E, sy, toughness, Tapplication are generally small. -- Deformation is often T and time dependent. -- Result: polymers benefit from composite reinforcement. • Thermoplastics: -- Smaller E, sy, Tapplication -- Ductile -- Easier to form and recycle • Elastomers (rubber): -- Large reversible strains! • Thermosets (epoxies, polyesters): -- Larger E, sy, Tapplication Table 15.3 Callister 6e: Good overview of applications and trade names of polymers.
