摘要:
Polytetrafluoroethylene is probably the only polymer which is commercially extruded in solid state. The polymer is provided in powder form which is lubricated by an oil. The samples of this study were powder of about 500 μ size, coagulated from latex particles of average .2–.4 μ. Naphtha was used as the lubricant at 16.5 weight percent of the composition. The pressure‐output rate relation was examined with two types of capillary rheometers. A constant pressure rheometer was used to characterize the pressure range of 1000 3000 psi. The output rate at a given pressure decreased with time. A constant drive speed rheometer was used in the pressure range of 4000–14,000 psi. The recording of the force was very irregular but had an oscillating pattern. With both rheometers the extrudate diameters were equal or smaller than the die diameter. The compression experiment showed that the material behavior was dependent on not only the available free volume but the nature of powder itself. The compressive stress relaxation, however, depended on the free volume only. Recovery from compression was almost perfect.
