Solving Processing Issues
Too much elasticity and relaxation issues
Unwanted side effects due to long relaxation times
and high shear processing speeds
 Die swell
 after leaving the nozzle
 Melt fracture
 limited processing speed
 Sharkskin
 often found with LLDPE and HDPE
 Strategy:
 Processing additives (e.g. PPA) => reduced risk of melt fracture during extrusion
 Modification of MMD => lower storage modulus G‘ at higher frequencies (shifted cross over
towards higher frequencies) or lower N1 at higher shear rates
 Deborah-Number De = processing shear rate (smallest diameter) * relaxation time

Frequency Sweep – Master Curve
Time Temperature Superposition
Background:
 Due to increasing T the relaxation times are getting shorter
 Shift factor aT=l(T)/l(Tref) or based on viscosity aT=(T)/(Tref)
 Frequency sweeps (FS) measured at various T can be shifted horizontally
 Only applicable for unlinked and unfilled polymers
 Each FS measured at T can be shifted by aT to the so called reference temperature T0
(+) Enlarged frequency range
(+) Information about practically relevant shear rates up to 100.000s-1
(+) Determination of the zero shear viscosity

18
Frequency Sweep – Master Curve
Workbook assistant and loop temperature
 The FS is executed 1x for each of the Loop-T defined in the
list:
e.g. T0=190°C
 The first Loop-T in the list must be the reference temperature T0
 Temperature in the “Start Dialog” is automatically replaced by the
next T from the list
 A macro ‘@consttemp@ in
the data series name ensures
that the Loop-T is part of the
data series name
 Optimized settings for CTD or ETD ensure perfect temperature
equilibration
19
Frequency Sweep – Master Curve
Specific settings of the analysis method
 Shift is done automatically
 Target temperature is entered which is equal to the reference T0
 In the case of any issue with auto calculation the parameters must be defined
manually
 The following settings may solve the issues with unsteady or badly
overlapping measuring data:
 Range = valid range of deviation (will stop analysis if exceeded for a single
point of the shifted curve
 Shift horizontal OR hirizontal and vertical (vertical = correction of density)
 Scattering at lower frequencies -> increase value for lower points
 Scattering at higher frequencies -> increase value for higher points
 The reduced range is only used for shifting the curves; all points are included
in the resulting master curve at T0

DMTA - How to determine Tg
Tg according to DMA-Method: Peak tan()
1. Some years ago G‘ or E‘ could not be measured in the glassy state
2. The measurement of the damping factor  was quite accurate
3. Historically the Tg was calculated as the maximum in tan()
All DMA analyzers are getting the same results for Peak tan() but vary in absolute
measurements for E‘, E‘‘ or G‘, G‘‘
Disadvantage of the method:
 Peak tan() is above glassy state (approximately 10°C to 30°C)

 Materials before curing
 Viscosity as a function of shear
 Flow behaviour, yield point
 Thixotropy, time dependent recovery of viscosity after
shear
 Curing behaviour
 Isothermal test or temperature ramp
 Process of curing from liquid to solid
 Degree of cross-linkage
 Stiffness as well as viscous and elastic properties
 Final product after curing
 Material characterization of the final product (DMTA)
 Mechanical parameter such as G or E modulus
 Temperature dependent mechanical behaviour
 Working / use temperature range

Liquid1+liquid2 (2K

Powder (epoxy resin)
Resins before curing
These materials are almost newtonian
Oils and resins must be trimmed in measuring position
 Reason: samples to not adhere to spatula
Better: Use cap plate with 50mm diameter
 CP50-1 and CP50-2 are ideally filled
 no more trimming
 Caution: may require temperature calibration
for higher temperatures
Or: Inset variant with 50 mm screwable plate
 CP50-1 and CP50-2 are ideally filled
 no more trimming

DMTA Reaction Kinetics
Measuring Parameter
 Standard profile
o Constant strain and frequency, e.g. g = 0.5%, f= 1Hz
 Measuring time
o short (<100s)?
o fast reactions (e.g. within 10s)?
o then frequency = 10Hz
 Always with time setting
o T-Ramp with 0.5min/measuring point
o Time test 0.1min/measuring point
o For shorter times the frequency must be adapted
o tmp,min = 1 / f
o DSO helps to improve measuring results and allows higher data rates
 Always use: PPxx (PP15), better D-PP15 (disposable plates)
 Variable gap
o NF-compensation (NF=0N +/- Hysteresis von 0.5N)
o Minimum position e.g. 0.75mm in „Gap setting parameter for measurement“
 Terminate test by event control?
