摘要:

微孔发泡材料的质量与超临界CO2在聚合物熔体中的溶解量和溶解速率紧密相关,采用有限元模拟的方法得出不同条件下的等效扩散系数来表征溶解速率。首先,通过基于体积法的实验装置测出不同条件下超临界CO2在聚合物熔体中的溶解量;其次,通过COMSOL软件计算得出不同的扩散系数下溶解量的变化,最后通过实验值与模拟计算值之间的对比,得出不同条件下,超临界CO2在聚合物中的等效扩散系数,并分析了误差来源。结果表明,超临界CO2在聚苯乙烯(PS)熔体中的溶解量随着压力的增加而增加,相反,随着温度的升高呈下降的趋势;模拟计算所得等效扩散系数与实验保持一致,温度与压力的增大都会提高扩散系数的数值;模拟的溶解平衡时间与实验的溶解平衡时间之间的误差不超过20 %。实验结果与模拟计算的结果吻合较好。因此,计算溶解量及等效扩散系数具有重要意义,可为微孔发泡工艺提供理论指导。

Abstract:

There is a close relationship between the quality of the microcellular foaming material and the amount of supercritical CO2 dissolved in the polymer melt along with its dissolution rate. A finite element simulation method was adopted to obtain the equivalent diffusion coefficient under different conditions to characterize the dissolution rate. A volumetric?based experimental device was used to measure the amount of supercritical CO2 dissolved in the polymer melt under different conditions. The change of the dissolution amount at different diffusion coefficients was then calculated by the COMSOL software. Through comparing the experimental data with the simulated ones, the equivalent diffusion coefficient of supercritical CO2 in the polymer under different conditions was obtained, and its error source was analyzed. The results indicated that the amount of supercritical CO2 dissolved in the polystyrene melt increased with an increase in pressure but decreased with an increase in temperature. The equivalent diffusion coefficient calculated by simulation is in good agreement with the experimental result. The improvement of temperature and pressure resulted in an increase in diffusion coefficient. There is no more than 20 % of error between the simulated dissolution equilibrium time and the experimental value. The experimental results are in good agreement with the simulation ones. Therefore, the simulation and calculation for the dissolved amount and equivalent diffusion coefficient are of great significance and therefore can provide a theoretical guidance for the microcellular foaming process.
