Rheological Behaviors of Polyacrylonitrile Melt Using Ionic Liquids as a Plasticizer

Abstract:

The rheological behaviors of polyacrylonitrile/ionic liquids (PAN/ILs) melt were investigated to determine the general processing parameters and offer an important theoretical foundation of plasticized melt spinning. A step was carried out to decide the accurate temperature through the temperature sweep and time sweeps. The impacts of the concentration and temperature on the modulus of PAN/ILs samples were studied by dynamic sweeps. The three-parameter Carreau viscosity model was used to predict the zero-shear viscosity from the apparent viscosity data. The PAN/ILs melt showed shear-thinning behaviors. The melt with higher PAN concentration was found to be more sensitive to the temperature. However the structural viscosity index of the melt first decreased and then increased with the increase of temperature.
