EFFECTS OF STRUCTURAL FACTORS
ON MECHANICAL PROPERTIES
Presented by,
Vishal K.P.
Dept. of PS&RT
CUSAT
Introduction
• When polymers are in to application , the
mechanical properties should be analyzed for
safety factors.
• The properties includes strength, stiffness,
ultimate tensile strength, modulus etc..
• Various structural factors also affect the
mechanical properties of a polymer.
Structural Properties
• Molecular weight
• Cross-linking
• Crystallinity
• Polarity
• Copolymerization
• Steric factors
Effect of molecular weight
• Tg-glassy to rubbery transition
• Tfl-rubber to melt flow transition
• The molecular weight has no effect on
modulus in the glassy region(below Tg)
• Tfl is dependant on molecular weight
Effect of Cross-linking
• Smaller the value of Mc-a measure of cross-
link density, higher the cross-link density.
• Cross-links restricts the molecular mobility
hence increases the ability to resist
deformation under load i.e., increase
modulus.
• When cross-link density increases, restriction
on molecular mobility increases and hence the
Tg.
Effect of Crystallinity
• Crystallinity-Molecules held together in an
orderly manner by secondary valence bonds.
• Crystallites have more modulii than
amorphous segments
• The effect on modulus below Tg is
insignificant, but has a pronounced effect
above the Tg.
• The modulus will be high for polymers with
higher percentage of crystallinity
Effect of crystallinity on the modulus-temperature curve
Effect of Polarity
• The polarity increases the Tg of the polymers
e.g.: Tg of polar PVC is 97°C higher than non-
polar polypropylene
• The modulus of polar polymer is much higher
than non-polar polymers
• Introduction of polar forces increases the
modulus because the modulus in the glassy
state is determined by the secondary bonding
forces
Effect of copolymerization
• Isomorphous systems
*Homogeneous copolymers
*The modulus will be in between that of two
homopolymers
• Non-Isomorphous system
*random & alternating copolymers-same effect
of isomorphous system
*graft & block copolymers-two phases as dispersion
>If dispersing medium is of high Tg,modulus will be
higher.
>If dispersing medium is of low Tg,modulus will be lower.
Effect of Steric factors
• Long flexible side chains decreases the Tg and
steric hinderance as a result of increasing free
volume.
• Branched side chains increases Tg and hence
increases the modulus in the amorphous
polymers.

Editor's Notes

  1. Viscous flow represents the complete mobility of the molecular chains. High M.W-high entanglements-high temperature needed to initiate mobility of chains.
  2. Mc-avg molecular weight between crosslinks
  3. Crystallinity-a form of physical cross-linking(thermoreverisble)
  4. The polarity increases modulus in only glassy region and not in rubbery region because after Tg the side chains starts movement and distance of polar groups increases frm main chain,which decreases the effect.
