description | This work proposes a modeling of the mechanical properties of porous polymers processed by scCO(2), using a phenomenological approach. Tensile and compression tests of alginate/gelatin and cellulose acetate/graphene oxide were modeled using three hyperelastic equations, derived from strain energy functions. The proposed hyperelastic equations provide a fair good fit for mechanical behavior of the nanofibrous system alginate/gelatin (deviations lower than 10%); whereas, due to the presence of the solid in the polymer network, a four-parameter model must be used to fit the composite cellulose acetate/graphene oxide behavior. Larger deviations from the experimental data were observed for the system cellulose acetate/graphene oxide because of its microporous structure. A finite element method was, then, proposed to model both systems; it allowed a realistic description of observable displacements and effective stresses. The results indicate that materials processed using scCO(2), when submitted to large stresses, do not obey Hooke´s law and must be considered as hyperelastic. |
