Polymers aren’t very stiff

Polymers aren’t very stiff. Stiffness dictated by structure. Stiffness depends on crystallinity crosslinking T g. For fibers, stiffness depends on draw ratio. Tensile strength. Glass transition temperature (T g ). Molecular wt. Glass transition temperature (T g ).

  18. Creep & recovery

  19. Cl H – – Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) {-C-C-}n – – Cl H Some specific polymers Very rigid and strong, Tg = 60-80 C siding, pipe, conduit, usw. Presence of Cl gives rise to solubility in various organic solvents - allows "solvent welding"

  20. Cl H – – Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) {-C-C-}n – – Cl H Some specific polymers Presence of Cl gives rise to solubility in various organic solvents Rigid PVC difficult to form by some techniques (e.g., calendaring)……so add solvent as "plasticizer" PVC sheet then roll-formed onto fabric backing and - voilá - "vinyl"!

  21. Some specific polymers Rigid PVC difficult to form by some techniques (e.g., calendaring)……so add solvent as "plasticizer" PVC sheet then roll-formed onto fabric backing and - voilá - "vinyl"! Problem: solvent slowly evaporates, exp. when (auto) vinyl seats & fascia heated by sun Soln: Armorall! Periodically put solvent back into polymer
