摘要
The mechanism of skin/core morphology development and LCP (liquid crystalline polymer) fibril formation in polycarbonate/LCP blends was studied. A certain minimum concentration of the LCP phase must be present for the formation of continuous LCP fibrils in the extrudates. A skin-core morphology characterizes the PC/LCP extrudates. Short LCP fibrils are formed in the capillary converging entrance section, through the elongation of LCP domains and their coalescence. Continuous fibrils were formed in the skin of extrudates emerging from cylindrical capillaries, through the coalescence of the short fibrils, provided the shear stresses are high enough and the LCP viscosity is equal or lower than that of PC. Increasing capillary length enhances the LCP lateral migration and fibrils formation. The high interfacial tension stabilizes the LCP fibrils. In the core region the short fibrils recoil or breakup, resulting in spherical or elongated droplets. Long and continuous fibrils cannot be formed in a zero length capillary, even at high flow rates.
