Abstract The appearance of terminal blend rubberized bitumen (TB) has improved a series of defects of traditional rubber bitumen, such as high viscosity, poor storage stability. Therefore, its wide application prospect is self-evident. However, different degrees of thermal-oxidative aging problem still exist in the process from production to use of TB, which seriously affects the service life of pavement. To improve the anti-aging performance of TB, grafting activated crumb rubber (GACR) was obtained by using acrylamide, and then compounded with TB. Firstly, TB was prepared in the self-developed nitrogen protection device. Secondly, GACR modified bitumen (GACR-MB), TB/CR composite modified bitumen (TB/CR) and TB/GACR composite modified bitumen (TB/GACR) were developed in the atmospheric environment. Finally, the performance of four kinds of crumb rubber modified bitumens before and after aging was compared and analyzed by testing high and low temperature rheological properties. The results show that GACR slowed down the formation rate and aggregation degree of asphaltenes and other macromolecular substances, and TB/GACR showed excellent aging resistance.

Abstract In this work, an improved wet spinning method was proposed to prepare high-tensile-strength carrageenan fibers by pre-crosslinking process. Pre-crosslinking was achieved by adding a small amount of Al 3+ ions into the spinning solution. The properties of the carrageenan spinning solution were analyzed by polarizing microscope, dynamic light scattering, and viscosity, the results showed that the modified spinning solution pre-crosslinked with Al 3+ ions was orderly and high-viscosity, and the average particle size of the spinning solution was increased. The properties of the carrageenan fibers were characterized using scanning electron microscope, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and tensile tests. The results showed that the new carrageenan fibers were formed by coordination and ionic bonds between Al 3+ , –OH and sulfate groups. The tensile strength was up to 1.77 cN/dtex of Al-3.0/CAF (the best of newly prepared carrageenan fiber in this work), which is the highest strength carrageenan fiber prepared at present. Compared with the traditional process, this method reduced the concentration of Al 3+ ions in coagulation bath and stretch bath, thus saving the production cost and protecting the environment.

Abstract The aim of the present work is the development and characterization of new formulation of emulsified films based on soluble starch/sodium alginate blend and microcrystalline wax. The developed films were studied in order to use them as new formulations to produce food packaging. The obtained films were generally homogeneous, thin, and slightly flexible. These films appeared more opaque compared to the non-emulsified film. Incorporation of microcrystalline wax was caused modifications of mechanical properties of films; these modifications were principally due to the formation of amylose–lipid complex. It was found that microcrystalline significantly reduced film water vapor permeability (WVP) of emulsified films. Atomic force microscope (AFM) was used to evaluate surface topography and roughness of the films. The surface topography was significantly affected, in the other word high roughness values were obtained. Microemultion formation in which the microcrystalline wax particles are distributed homogeneously within the polymer matrix was investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Moreover, the polysaccharides blend/microcrystalline wax emulsified films can be useful as a biodegradable packaging material to maintain the quality of food products.

Abstract Sustainable oxygen barrier thermoplastic starch (TPS)/polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) blown films were successfully prepared by blending proper PVA loads during NaOH-treating and supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO 2 ) assisted processing. The NaOH-treated TPS or scCO 2 TPS films showed smaller free-volume-cavity characteristics (FVCC) and oxygen transmission rate (OTR) than those of TPS (or scCO 2 TPS) prepared without proper alkali-treatment. Smaller OTR and FVCC values were detected for NaOH-treated scCO 2 TPS films than those of NaOH-treated TPS films prepared without scCO 2 -assistance. All OTR and FVCC values detected for proper alkali-treated scCO 2 TPS y PVA z films diminished distinctly to a smallest value, when their PVA loads came near a solubility limit value of 27.5 wt%. An essential result is that the OTR of the optimal NaOH-treated scCO 2 TPS y PVA z film is merely 3.1 cm 3 /m 2 day atm, which meets the requirement of high oxygen barrier plastics. Dynamic molecular relaxations and WAXD patterns detected for proper NaOH-treated scCO 2 TPS y PVA z films disclosed that PVA was compatible with TPS, as PVA loads were ≤ the solubility limit value. The distinctly reduced OTR and FVCC detected for optimal NaOH-treated scCO 2 TPS y PVA z films are partially attributed to the reinforced molecular interactions between hydroxyl groups of TPS and PVA, as they were blended with proper PVA loads during their alkali-treating and scCO 2 -aid processing.

Abstract A novel speed sinusoidal pulsating system is designed by applying differential drive, which is loaded on the plasticizing screw in an extruder or in an injection molding machine. With the CFD software ANSYS POLYFLOW 19.2, this paper builds simplified physical and mesh models for the double wave screw unit, carries out numerical simulation by using particle tracing manner, and finally analyses comparatively the mixing behavior of the wave screw mixing unit with and without sinusoidal pulsating field. It is found that the mixing screw unit with the superimposed excitation field takes on lower transportation efficiency and a descending melt pressure, while there are different reactions on the various pulsating amplitude and frequency for the max shear rate and mixing index. On the other hand, the introducing pulsating field can strengthen the shear field and gain a higher mixing efficiency. The results are of great importance and reference for improving the plasticizing performance and engineering application of the speed pulsating system.

Abstract In this study, a modified torque rheometer is used to investigate the volatilization behavior of monomer and oligomers in polyamide-6 (PA6) melt under dynamic film–forming conditions with negative pressure. The surface renewal model is employed to simulate the volatilization behavior. The effects of actual processing factors and simulation results on the volatilization behavior of monomer and oligomer are analyzed comparatively. It is found that the monomer and oligomers removal rate increase continuously with increasing temperature, residence time, and rotational speed. And, the cyclic dimer, which is extremely harmful to spinning, can be removed. It is found that the removal of monomer and oligomers continued to increase with increasing temperature, residence time, and spinning speed. Moreover, cyclic dimers, which are extremely harmful to spinning, are also removed. Additionally, it is discovered that the polycondensation reaction of PA6 results in an increase in the molecular weight and viscosity at lower temperatures (250 °C), while a higher temperature (270 °C) and shear rate (150 r/min) cause a reduction in viscosity and molecular weight.

Abstract Acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) resin is a widely used engineering plastic at present. Due to its excellent mechanical properties and high fluidity, it is utilized in fused deposition molding (FDM) technology. In this paper, boron nitride nanosheets (BNNS) were prepared by hydrothermal exfoliation and used as nano-fillers for ABS resin, and ABS/BNNS composite wires for FDM printing were prepared by melt blending method. The results showed that BNNS with fewer layers were obtained; the addition of BNNS to the ABS resin matrix could effectively enhance the thermal conductivity of the composites. When the addition amount of BNNS was 15 wt%, the thermal conductivity of the composite increased to 0.369 W/(m K), which was 120.06 % higher than that of pure ABS (0.174 W/(m K)). In addition, BNNS also improves the mechanical properties, thermal stability, and melt flow rate of the composites, thus making ABS composite wires more suitable for FDM printing.

Abstract Two isotactic polypropylene (iPP) resins with approximate weight-average molecular weight ( Mw ) and different molecular weight distribution ( MWD ) were chosen to prepare cast films by the melt-stretching method. The lamellar morphology and mechanical properties of the initial precursor films and stretched microporous membranes were characterized. It was found that PP1 resin with a broader MWD exhibits a higher relaxation time of around 5.5 s, a larger entanglement density of 24.7 mol/m 3 and fast crystalline ability. The lamellar lateral size, orientation degree and entanglement density of the corresponding cast film are significantly increasing, resulting in higher elastic recovery and more apparent strain-hardening behavior. The PP resin with broader MWD also benefits the pore formation, resulting in a larger pore size and better air permeability of the stretched microporous membrane.

Abstract In plastic injection molding (PIM), the process parameters determine the quality and productivity of molded parts. The traditional injection molding process analysis method mainly relies on production experience. It is lack of advanced and rationality and seriously increases production costs. In this paper, a hybrid multiobjective optimization method is proposed to minimize the warpage, volumetric shrinkage and cycle time. The method integrates orthogonal experimental design, numerical simulation, and the metamodel method with multiobjective optimization. The orthogonal experiment chooses seven parameters as the design variables to generate sampling data and determines key factors that affect product quality by the numerical simulation. A gradient-enhanced Kriging (GEK) surrogate model strategy is introduced to construct the response predictors to calculate objective responses in the global design space. Multipopulation differential evolution (MPDE) is conducted to locate the Pareto-optimal solutions, where the response predictors are taken as the fitness functions. This study shows that the proposed GEK-MPDE method can reduce warpage, volumetric shrinkage and cycle time by 5.7 %, 4.7 %, and 18.1 %, respectively. It helps plastic industry to realize collaborative scheduling of multiple tasks between different production lines by providing a low-cost and effective dynamic control method.
