Part II Dry Spinning of Polymer Fibers in Ternary Systems

摘要

In this work,predictions based on the 2D dry spinning model developed in Part 1 of this work [2] along with a die swell subroutine supplied by an industrial company,are used to compare with fiber concentration and elongation to break data from an industrial spinline.Die swell ratio predictions agree well with measured values and solidification along the spinline is shown to be due to homogeneous glass transition in the absence of phase separation.Concentration profiles along the spinline are well fit by the model using previously determined prefactors for the diffusion coefficients.A good correlation of elongation at break data is found to occur with a characteristic variable GGTP,the ratio of the rheological force of the viscoelastic Giesekus contribution to the total rheological force (Giese-kus + viscous) at the glass transition point.Moreover,the regression obtained from this fit can be further used to make predictions for elongation at break under different operating conditions.Finally,the effects of spinning conditions and model parameters on fiber mechanical properties were investigated.
