Shear and extensional rheology of polyethylenes recycled using a solvent dissolution process
There is high market demand for increasing the viability of current plastic recycling processes. In this work rheology is used to evaluate the mechanical properties of a solvent dissolution recycled polymer compared to its virgin untreated precursor. Solvent dissolution and precipitation are used to target multi-layer, multi-component, industry films, which cannot be mechanically recycled. Polyethylene was chosen as the primary polymer of interest. Polymer thermal stability was monitored via time-resolved rheology; consecutive frequency sweeps over the course of an hour while under isothermal conditions. Additional rheological experiments were performed within the identified thermally stable conditions. Small-angle oscillatory shear was complemented with steady shear viscosity experiments over a wide range of shear rates. Extensional rheology was used to determine changes in molecular weight and cross link density. Rheological characterization is supplemented with gas chromatography–mass spectrometry of the solvent wash to determine components stripped from the virgin polymers during solvent treatment.
期刊介绍:
"Rheologica Acta is the official journal of The European Society of Rheology. The aim of the journal is to advance the science of rheology, by publishing high quality peer reviewed articles, invited reviews and peer reviewed short communications.
The Scope of Rheologica Acta includes:
- Advances in rheometrical and rheo-physical techniques, rheo-optics, microrheology
- Rheology of soft matter systems, including polymer melts and solutions, colloidal dispersions, cement, ceramics, glasses, gels, emulsions, surfactant systems, liquid crystals, biomaterials and food.
- Rheology of Solids, chemo-rheology
- Electro and magnetorheology
- Theory of rheology
- Non-Newtonian fluid mechanics, complex fluids in microfluidic devices and flow instabilities
- Interfacial rheology
Rheologica Acta aims to publish papers which represent a substantial advance in the field, mere data reports or incremental work will not be considered. Priority will be given to papers that are methodological in nature and are beneficial to a wide range of material classes. It should also be noted that the list of topics given above is meant to be representative, not exhaustive. The editors welcome feedback on the journal and suggestions for reviews and comments."
