Polymer melt unwrapping device
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of polymer material processing equipment, and particularly relates to a device capable of achieving disentanglement under a polymer melt state and continuously outputting disentangled plastic melt.
Background
The polymer material is one of the most widely used important materials for modern people, and has great significance for the development of science and technology and the improvement of economic level, and how to process the polymer material more energy-saving, environment-friendly, high-efficiency and high-quality
It is known that below the so-called critical molecular weight Mc, the viscosity of the polymer melt is proportional to the relative molecular weight M, whereas when the relative molecular weight is higher than Mc, the polymer chains in the molten state are entangled with each other to form an entangled network, limiting the ability of the molecular chains to move in the melt, making the viscosity of the polymer melt proportional to the 3.4 th power of the molecular weight M, greatly increasing the viscosity of the material, and making the molding process difficult. This entails that in general both extrusion and injection moulding of the polymeric material needs to be carried out at relatively high pressures (injection moulding melt pressures up to 100 MPa) and relatively high melt temperatures (typically above 200 ℃), which undoubtedly results in considerable energy consumption. This problem is particularly pronounced when high viscosity materials are used to form thin wall large articles. In theory, for a polymer of a specific molecular weight, if partial disentanglement or even complete disentanglement of the polymer chain can be achieved in the melt state, the viscosity of the polymer melt can be significantly reduced, thereby greatly improving the processability of the polymer material. Compared with the traditional method of improving the flowability and processability of the polymer by adding the plasticizer or reducing the molecular weight, the viscosity is reduced by the disentangling mode, so that the processability is improved, the molecular weight of the polymer material is not greatly influenced, and the mechanical property of the final product is not reduced.
Most of the existing mainstream melt processing devices (such as extrusion, injection molding and the like) can only provide a simple shear field, and the generated shear direction, shear rate and the like are unchanged. This simple shear field causes slippage of the interlayer molecular chains flowing in a direction perpendicular to the flow direction, thereby releasing the entanglement points to some extent, and causing a phenomenon of viscosity decrease, which is called "shear thinning". The viscosity reduction caused by shear thinning is beneficial to the processing process, but due to the constant shear rate and short shear time, when the thermal movement of the molecular chain results in the dynamic balance between the recovery entanglement and the shear-induced disentanglement, the entanglement state of the molecular chain is maintained unchanged, disentanglement is not continued, and the viscosity is maintained unchanged. Therefore, the simple shear field disentanglement effect generated by the existing device is very limited, and high-efficiency molecular chain disentanglement is not easy to realize, so that the processability of the polymer material cannot be greatly improved, and the energy consumption is reduced.
It is known that no studies have been reported in the literature on how to further utilize stress fields to achieve high disentanglement of polymer melt, and no device is dedicated to large-scale preparation of polymer melt disentangled viscosity-reducing raw materials.

3. The melt disentanglement device provided by the invention can not only enable the disentanglement mandrel to generate a single circumferential rotation stress field or a single circumferential vibration stress field under the condition of adopting one driving motor, but also simultaneously generate a composite stress field of circumferential rotation and circumferential vibration, so that the complexity of the overall size and structure of the whole device is smaller and the manufacturing cost is reduced on the premise of ensuring and improving disentanglement effect.
4. The melt disentanglement device provided by the invention is directly connected with the forming die, so that not only can disentangled polymer melt be directly extruded and formed to obtain various products, but also the melt still in an disentangled state during extrusion and forming has lower viscosity and stronger movement capability of a molecular chain, thus the surface quality of the obtained formed product, such as surface roughness, transparency of an amorphous material and the like, can be improved, and the crystallinity and mechanical property of the crystalline material can be expected to be improved to a certain extent.

The melt disentanglement device provided by the invention can be used for directly extruding and shaping yarn to be granulated into granules, and the granules can keep the disentangled state in the melt and are used for secondary processing, so that on one hand, the disentangled state in the melt can show lower viscosity in the secondary processing, and various problems caused by high viscosity of a high polymer material, such as material buckling deformation, poor weld mark strength and the like caused by high filling resistance and high heat loss, can be solved to a great extent. On the other hand, under the condition of keeping the viscosity unchanged, the disentangled granules can greatly reduce the forming temperature, so that the overall temperature difference of the product is reduced, and the internal stress is reduced.
6. The melt disentanglement device provided by the invention is also provided with an on-line detection mechanism, so that parameters such as melt viscosity, shear rate, melt pressure, temperature and the like can be measured and accurately controlled in real time, and disentanglement effect can be indirectly known through melt viscosity so as to carry out real-time adjustment.

The low-density polyethylene melt plasticized by the extruder 36 enters the charging barrel 7, is directly extruded and molded into a sheet by the molding die 35 without any disentanglement treatment, and is cooled and shaped by a water tank.
To examine the technical effects of the disentanglement device of the present invention, first, the pellets obtained after the treatment of application example 1 and application comparative example 1 were measured for apparent viscosity at different shear rates using a high pressure capillary rheometer and drawn into a melt flow curve, as shown in fig. 9. As can be seen from the graph of FIG. 9, the apparent viscosity of the material obtained after the treatment for 10min and 20min was significantly reduced compared with the material (0 min) without the treatment according to the present invention, and it can be clearly seen that the apparent viscosity was lower and the disentangling effect was better with the increase of the treatment time. The weight average molecular weights of the different samples were determined using Gel Permeation Chromatography (GPC) and are shown in the following table. The weight average molecular weight of the sample decreased with the increase in the treatment time, and the molecular weight distribution was widened, but the magnitude of the decrease in molecular weight was not large enough to explain the decrease in viscosity. Thus, it is demonstrated that the present invention is capable of achieving effective melt detangling without substantially reducing molecular weight.
Next, the sheets obtained in application example 2, application example 3, application example 4, and application comparative example 2 were cut into round sheets, and subjected to vibration scanning by using a rotary rheometer to obtain a complex viscosity-vibration frequency curve. As shown in fig. 10. The polymer melt of comparative example 2 shows the highest complex viscosity without any treatment, and the other three movement modes can reduce the complex viscosity of the melt, but compared with the pure circumferential rotation (application example 4) and circumferential vibration (application example 3), the disentanglement effect of the melt under the compound movement (application example 2) is the best, and the complex viscosity is the lowest. Therefore, the composite stress field formed by superposing the circumferential vibration on the pure circumferential shear has better disentanglement effect than the pure circumferential shear field.
