Properties of particulate composites: time-temperature effects
Abstract
1) To produce mechanical characterization data for one or more PBS systems, their component polymer, and the polymer-crystal interface, at a range of strain rates and temperatures. The effects of these parameters will be explored in a single framework, underpinned by time-temperature superposition, which, in particular, allows the properties at elevated rates to be better understood. 2) To use these data to design and interpret experiments which can be performed at low rate in micro-scope and tomography systems but which give understanding of the microscopic behavior at elevated rates, including the formation of damage. 3) To enable (1) and (2) by integrating the use of full-field analysis techniques and the Virtual Fields analysis method into current experimental configurations to allow novel measurements of constitutive response: in particular from experiments in which the strain and/or stress fields are not constant.
