  2. POLYMERS: THEY’RE EVERYWHERE! STYROFOAM CUPS (POLYSTYRENE) PAINT (ACRYLICS) “MOLECULES” (POLYETHYLENE) DOLLHOUSE EXTERIOR (POLYVINYL CHLORIDE)

  3. POLYMERS Made up of macromolecules, have high molar masses and are composed of a large number of repeating units

  4. POLYMERS (GENERAL PROPERTIES) lightweight low strength and stiffness corrosion resistance high electrical resistance low thermal conductivity good resistance to chemicals high coefficient of expansion good optical properties (opaque, transparent, colors) high formability low cost (compared to metals) low energy content not as dimensionally stable as metals

  5. polymerization >> Chemical reaction by which monomers are linked to form larger molecules • >> Two types: • A. Condensation • B. Addition

  6. condensation polymerization • >> Reaction by products such as water • are condensed out • >> Also called step-reaction • polymerization because polymer • molecules grows step by step

  7. addition polymerization >> Also known as chain-reaction polymerization >> Bonding takes place without reaction by- products >> Called chain reaction because of the high rate at which long molecules form simultaneously

  8. some definitions >> monomers – used in the synthesis of the large molecule >> Molecular Weight  higher molecular weight, greater chain length >> degree of polymerization  Ratio of molecular weight of polymer to the molecular weight of monomer

  9. bonding >> Monomers are linked by covalent bonds (primary bonds), forming a polymer chain >> Polymer chains are held together by secondary bonds, such as van der Waals bonds, hydrogen bonds, and ionic bonds. >> The longer the polymer chain, the greater is the energy needed to overcome the secondary bond strength

  10. Linear polymers >> Chain like polymers are called linear polymers because of their linear structure. A linear polymer may contain some branched and cross-linked chains. As result of branching and cross-linking, the polymer’s properties can change.

  11. branching >> Side-branched chains are attached to the main chain during the synthesis of the polymer >> Branching interferes with the relative movement of the molecule chains. Resistance to deformation and stress- cracking are affected.

  12. cross-linking >> Have adjacent chains linked by covalent bonds >> Polymers with cross-linked chain structures are called thermosetting plastics (thermosets) >> Cross linking influence hardness, strength, brittleness, and better dimensional stability, vulcanization of rubber

  13. networks Are highly cross-linked

  14. MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF POLYMERS >> deformation is very dependent on time >> deformation is dependent on temperature  as temperature increases, the weak van der waals forces are further diminished, and slip occurs more easily between adjacent chains

  15. MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF POLYMERS >> with the application of stress: when two atoms within a chain are held by strong covalent bonds, displacement of the atoms relative to each other occurs instantaneously on the application of stress >> stress is removed: atoms immediately return to their original positions

  16. MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF POLYMERS >> tensile properties are highly dependent on temperature. rigid polymers: elongation increases with an increase in temperature rubbers: elongation increases with a decrease in temperature

  17. STRESS - STRAIN DIAGRAMS Soft and weak Hard and brittle Hard and strong Soft and tough Hard and tough Ideal elastomer

  18. MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF POLYMERS >> creep: dependent on temperature  below tg, increase in temperature: creep rate increases, elongation increases  At tg, increase in temperature: gives much greater elongation than in lower temperatures  above tg, increase in temperature: great increase in elongation, creep rate decreases

  19. POLYMERS (TYPES) THERMOPLASTICS THERMOSETS ELASTOMERS ADDITIVES BIODEGRADABLE PLASTICS

  20. thermoplastics >> most commonly used polymer >> high molecular weight polymers whose chains associate through weak van der waals forces >> can go through melting or freezing cycles repeatedly >> can be softened repeatedly by the application of heat >> they melt to a liquid and freezes to a brittle, glassy state when cooled sufficiently

  21. Effect of temperature

  22. Effect of rate of deformation >> can undergo large uniform deformations in tension before they fracture >> allows thermoforming into complex shapes, such as bottles of soft drinks

  23. orientation >> When thermoplastics are deformed (e.g. stretching) long chain molecules tend to align in the general direction of elongation. This strengthens the polymer in this direction but weakens in the traverse direction. >> Anisotropic – the specimen becomes stronger and stiffer in the elongated direction than in its traverse direction

  24. crazing • >> When subject to tensile stresses or bending the • polymer develops localized, wedged- shaped, narrow • regions of high of highly deformed material. • >> Appears like cracks. • >> Spongy material with 50% voids • >> When further tensile strength is applied, the voids • causes the polymer to fracture • >> Typically observed in transparent glassy polymers • >> Enhanced by: •  Environment: the presence of solvents, • lubricants or water vapor •  Residual stress •  Radiation

  25. Stress whitening • >> when subject to tensile stresses (e.g. • bending) the plastic becomes lighter in color • due to the voids formed. • >> Material becomes less translucent or more • opaque • Example: White line formed when a plastic • folder is bent

  26. Water absorption • >> Water acts as a plasticizing agent-- • makes the polymer more plastic • >> Lubricates the chains in the amorphous • region • >> Lowers the glass-transition temperature, • yield stress and elastic modulus • >> Also changes the dimensions of the • polymer especially in a humid environment

  27. Thermal and electrical properties • >> Low electrical conductivity •  Used for insulators and • packaging material for • electronic components •  Doping – to increase the • electrical conductivity • by introducing • impurities e.g. metal • powder • Increases with water absorption • >> Low specific gravity • >> High coefficient of thermal expansion

  28. Creep and stress relaxation • >> Susceptible to creep and stress • relaxation at room temperature
