Spinnability of PEO solutions with respect to their aging
Zelenková, Jana ; Peer, Petra ; Filip, Petr
Non - negligible portion of pol ymer commodity suffers from ageing that participates in sometimes significant changes of products attributes. Rheology represents a useful tool for a description of this process. The aim of this contribution is to evaluate possible ageing of PEO solution ( polyethylen e oxide ( M w =300,000 g/mol) dissolved in water at 10 wt.% concentration) based both on rheological characterization and on quality of electrospun fibres. Rheological measurements in steady shear and oscillatory modes were carried out using a rota tional rheometer MCR 501 (Anton Paar, Austria) equipped with the concentric cylinders geometry. The electrospinning measurements were executed with the help of a proposed laboratory device. The tip - to - collector distance attained 20 cm, applied voltage rang ed from 20 to 30 kV. The obtained electrospun fibres were analysed using a scanning electron microscope (VEGA 3, Tescan, Czech Republic). Both types of measurements were carried out in the period of several months during which the solution studied was plac ed in a dark and tempered box (25°C). The measurements indicate no ageing impact on rheological characteristics or quality of electrospun fibres. This guarantees more or less the identical quality of non - woven textiles prepared from PEO solutions regardles s of time period during which the solutions are deposited.

Motion of multiple cylinders in potential flow of ideal fluid
Kharlamov, Alexander A. ; Filip, Petr
The flow field past multiple arbitrarily moving cylinders is calculated using a generalisation of the conventional images method. The flow is presented by a flow from an infinite set of dipoles. For calculation purposes the infinite series must be, however, truncated. The kinetic energy of fluid is presented as a sum over all modelling dipoles. A rather good convergence of the method is observed. However, if the distances between any cylinders tend to zero, the method fails in zones close to the contact point. Nevertheless, even for the case of touching cylinders the series for the kinetic energy remain convergent. In case of just two cylinders the method projects on the classical method of images. Method is validated by several comparisons with solutions known from the literature.

On the electrospinning of PVB solutions
Švrčinová, Petra ; Filip, Petr ; Lubasová, D.
Extension rheological characteristics belong to the principal description of polymer jet formation during a process of electrospinning. However, in spite of nearly absence of shear deformation of polymer solutions during the process of their spinnability, it seems that shear electrorheological characteristics can serve as an indicator of good or bad quality of an electrospun template. The experiments were carried out with four polyvinylbutyral (PVB) solutions in concentration of 10 wt%. Shear viscosities in absence (η0) and presence (η) of electric field were measured using a rotational rheometer equipped with an electrorheological cell. It was shown that the good solvents of PVB exhibit an almost constant curve of η/η0 vs. electric field strength, whereas the viscosity curves for the poor solvents exhibit enhancement. This enhancement corresponds to better quality of electrospun templates (obtained for polymer solutions of PVB with poor solvents).

On behaviour of PVB solutions in electrospinning
Švrčinová, Petra ; Lubasová, D. ; Filip, Petr ; Martinová, L.
Electrospinning produces nanofibre sheets from polymer solutions under high electric field. Rheological properties of these solutions play a substantial role in a nanofibre formation simultaneously with properties of polymers and solvents applied. This contribution aims at a determination of dependence of shear viscosity of polyvinylbuthyral (PVB) on the intensity of electric field to which PVB solutions are exposed. PVB was dissolved consecutively in a series of solvents as 10% wt. solution. It was found that the viscosity ratio (viscosity of a solution in presence of electric field/viscosity of a solution in absence of electric field) depends on the polarity of solvent. This pre-determines the possibility of application of the individual solvents for the process of electrospinning.

A note to the simplification in description of some molecular-based polymer models
Kharlamov, Alexander ; Filip, Petr
One type of integral is frequently met in various description of behaviour of polymer materials through molecular-based models starting with the classical Doi-Edwards one. The integrand in this integral for which an integrated region represents a solid angle is formed by a product of a unit vector (pointed at an element of this region) with a deformation gradient tensor. This product is raised to an exponent that is not usually an integer. The aim of this contribution is to derive substantially simplified expression for this integral respecting high accuracy of an approximation.

Choice of polymer samples geometry for measurement of elongational viscosity using ser universal testing platform
Filip, Petr ; Švrčinová, Petra
Generation of purely uniaxial elongational flow of polymer melts is very uneasy problem. It seems that each hitherto developed device for measurement of uniaxial elongational viscosity also produces - to some extent - a planar flow. During the last period there has been questioned - based on this reasoning - the applicability of a SER Universal Testing Platform and was recommended the range of rectangular dimensions of polymer samples for which measurements of uniaxial elongational viscosity is possible to take into account. The aim of this contribution consists in verification of invariantness of uniaxial elongational measurements using the SER Universal Testing Platform with respect to the dimensions of polymer samples applied. There is shown that for sufficiently broad region of admissible widths and thicknesses the results are identical. For these measurements there was used LDPE Escorene (Exxon, U.S.A.).
