摘要:
An apparatus is provided for planar flow casting of metal ribbon. The apparatus comprises a movable chill surface, a reservoir for holding molten metal and a slotted nozzle whose lips are located close to the chill surface. In operation, molten metal is forced through the nozzle onto the chill surface to form a melt puddle. Rapid cooling of the molten metal results in the formation of a continuous ribbon. The nozzles of this invention provide a planar bottom surface which includes the leading edge of the first lip and the side edges at the bottom of the lips and which is as close or closer to the chill surface than is any other point on the lips. The nozzle reduces air flow around the melt puddle and thereby improves ribbon uniformity.

摘要:
Polyethylene solutions are extruded through a multi-orifice spinneret into a cross-flow gas stream to form a fluid product. The fluid product is stretched at a temperature at which a gel will form at a stretch ratio of at least 5:1 over a length of less than about 25 mm with the cross-flow gas stream velocity at less than about 3 m/min. The fluid product is quenched in a quench bath consisting of an immiscible liquid to form a gel. The gel is stretched. The solvent is removed from the gel to form a xerogel and the xerogel product is stretched in at least two stages to produce a polyethylene yarn characterized by a tenacity of at least 35 g/d, a modulus of at least 1600 g/d and a work to break of at least 65 J/g. The yarn is further characterized by having greater than about 60% of a high strain orthorhombic crystalline component and, optionally, a monoclinic crystalline component greater than about 2% of the crystalline content. Composite panels made with these yarns exhibit excellent ballistic resistance, e.g., SEAC of 300 J-m2/Kg or higher against .38 caliber bullets using test procedure NILECJ-STD-0101.01. A ballistic resistant composite panel is provided comprising a polyethylene multi-filament yarn having a tenacity of at least about 35 g/d, a modulus of at least 1600 g/d, a work-to-break of at least about 65 J/g wherein the yarn has greater than about 60% of a high strain orthorhombic crystalline component and the yarn has a monoclinic crystalline component greater than about 2% of the crystalline content.
摘要:
A quasi monofilament having a high strength polyethylene fiber core with an adherent, abrasion resistant polymer sheath is prepared by feeding the core yarn through a crosshead die, while simultaneously supplying a polymer melt at a temperature greater than the melting point of the core yarn to the die, for sheathing the core yarn within the die with the melt under a sufficient pressure to cause the melt to adhere to the core yarn. The abrasion resistant polymer sheath includes an effective amount of a first polymer having ethylene crystallinity, a density of at least about 0.94 g/cm.sup.3, and a melt index of less than about 0.1 g/10 min. The composition used to sheathe the core yarn is characterized by a weight average tensile strength at yield of greater than about 13.8 MPa. The quasi monofilament has utility in applications subjected to high abrasion, such as sports fishing lines, kite lines, dental floss, "weedeater" lines and tennis racket strings.

摘要:
Solutions of high molecular weight polymers, such as ultrahigh molecular weight polyolefins are prepared, by forming a slurry of particles of the polymer in a solvent for the polymer, then transferring the slurry to a pumping device, then pumping the slurry under pressure to insure positive displacement to a screw extruder, and maintaining the slurry in the screw extruder for sufficient residence time at sufficient temperature so that a homogeneous solution is formed, then conveying the solution with the screw extruder to metering device which can feed a spinnerette, or a film-forming or tape-forming slit extruder.

An apparatus is provided for planar flow casting of metal ribbon. The apparatus comprises a movable chill surface, a reservoir for holding molten metal and a slotted nozzle whose lips are located close to the chill surface. In operation, molten metal is forced through the nozzle onto the chill surface to form a melt puddle. Rapid cooling of the molten metal results in the formation of a continuous ribbon. Ribbon contour is controlled through the use of nozzle designs that provide reproducible configuration of the melt puddle and reduce turbulent air flow over the molten metal surface.
