文摘
A novel apparatus was designed and constructed combining polymer extrusion processing and x-ray scattering. It allows direct, real time monitoring of structure and temperature development in polymer material during extrusion. The apparatus involves a vertical industrial extruder equipped with a four-roll stretching device to mimic the processing environments of uni-axially oriented films or sheets, a simultaneous small and wide angle x-ray scattering system and an infrared thermometer as detection unit. The charging barrel of the extruder and the stretching device can be moved upward and downward precisely. By moving the sample along the center line, structure and temperature development as a function of position can be obtained. The performance of the apparatus was verified by a test experiment, which allows us to establish the relationship between processing parameters and evolution of structure with different length scales, and may lead to a better understanding of the physics in polymer processing.
