5.1 結論
本研究藉由有限元素法模擬三維共擠出成型過程,包括等溫與非等溫
之檢討,獲得匯合區域之高分子融體流動行為,如匯合區域的速度場、剪 切率、溫度場與剪應力等。研究中使用材料為非結晶型塑料PC與 PMMA, 配合剪切黏度實驗數據所選用流變模型為Modified Cross Law,用於一般需 描述低剪切速率的剪稀薄效應黏度行為,至於成型參數包括討論匯合角
5. 當支流與主流路黏度比變大時,由於在等溫系時只需考慮到剪稀薄效 應,因此包覆現象會比非等溫共擠出時嚴重;而在非等溫系統時,由於 高分子塑料流動時因剪切作用會導致溫度上升,進而影響到黏度的變 化,且支流路由於黏度較大使得溫度上升亦較多,而導致黏度下降幅度 比主流路多,其黏度比會下降使包覆程度變不明顯。
5.2 未來展望
1. 由於高分子流體為黏彈性流體,在先前文獻中指出,非線性黏彈性流體 其第二正向應力差在擠出過程中會產生二次流,此二次流為垂直擠出方 向的流場,會造成擠出過程中界面的重新排列,為影響界面包覆形狀的 主要因素。若未來能進行黏彈性模形模擬,並與純黏性模型比較其差異 性,並藉由實驗來探討二次流動是否為影響包覆現象主要因素。
2. 網格質量(Quality)應更加均勻,以得到精確模擬結果,但網格質量均勻
化會導致網格數大量增加,使計算繁複耗時,須從硬體方面著手。
3. 從模擬結果得知,當黏度差異過大,單純從匯合角度、流速與薄膜厚度 無法有效改善包覆現象。在之後能針對材料性質做改善,使其剪切黏度 差異不致過大,從而改善包覆情形。
