Mathematical model of adhesion junction of layers during coextrusion

Abstract

Abstract Nine theories of polymer adhesion during coextrusion are researched. Two approaches to describing adhesion are presented – thermodynamic and molecular-kinetic ones. The factors, determining the durability of adhesion junction, are analyzed. The stages of adhesion connection formation are presented. The adhesion junction emergence model as a result of intermolecular interaction is described. As a result of calculations the following dependencies are got: the dependence of ply separation energy on the contact length of polyisobutylene adhesion junction of different molecular weight, the dependence of ply separation energy on molecular weight of polyisobutylene adhesion junctions got during different time, the dependence of adhesion durability on squared difference of polymer solubility parameters, the dependence of interdiffused zone width in the time.
