Networks of self-avoiding chains and Ogden-type constitutive equations for elastomers
A. D. Drozdov, M. Gottlieb
An expression is derived for the strain energy of a polymer chain under an arbitrary three-dimensional deformation with finite strains. For a Gaussian chain, this expression is red…
Constitutive equations for a polymer fluid based on the concept of non-affine networks
A. D. Drozdov, R. K. Gupta
Constitutive equations are developed for a polymer fluid, which is treated as a permanent network of strands bridged by junctions. The junctions are assumed to slide with respect t…
Linear viscoelasticity of polyolefin melts: the effects of temperature and chain branching
A. D. Drozdov, S. Agarwal, R. K. Gupta
Observations are reported in isothermal torsional oscillation tests on melts of isotactic polypropylene (iPP) and low-density polyethylene (LDPE) in the intervals of temperature be…
Thermal degradation and viscoelasticity of polypropylene-clay nanocomposites
A. D. Drozdov, A. Al-Mulla, D. A. Drozdov +1
Results of torsional oscillation tests are reported that were performed at the temperature T=230C on melts of a hybrid nanocomposite consisting of isotactic polypropylene reinforce…
The effect of strain rate on the viscoplastic behavior of isotactic polypropylene at finite strains
A. D. Drozdov, J. deC. Christiansen
Two series of uniaxial tensile tests are performed on isotactic polypropylene with the strain rates ranging from 5 to 200 mm/min. In the first series, injection-molded specimens ar…
The elastoplastic response of and moisture diffusion through a vinyl ester resin-clay nanocomposite
A. D. Drozdov, J. deC. Christiansen, R. K. Gupta +1
Experimental data are reported on the elastoplastic response of and moisture diffusion through a vinyl ester resin-montmorillonite clay nanocomposite with various amounts of filler…
