1. Explain in 1-3 bullets how as a practicing engineer you determine the yield strength of a thermoplastic polymer from a tensile stress-strain curve. 2. Explain what is happening at the yield strength for a thermoplastic polymer from a physical standpoint in 1-3 bullets. (e.g. what are the atoms or polymer chains doing?)
An unknown polymer sample was found to have the following molecular weight distribution: Molecular weight range Xi Wi 8,000 – 20,000 0.05 0.02 20,000 – 32,000 0.15 0.08 32,000 – 44,000 0.21 0.17 44,000 – 56,000 0.28 0.29 56,000 – 68,000 0.18 0.23 68,000 – 80,000 0.10 0.16 80,000 - 92,000 0.03 0.05 What would the weight average molecular weight of the sample be if, we had filtered the monomer mixture with a 44 kDa dialysis tubing before preparation? (Hint: a dialysis tubing of a known molecular weight, only keeps molecules larger than that size)
