description | Dynamic oscillatory shear testing is used to investigate polymeric viscoelastic behaviors. Small and large amplitude oscillatory shear tests are the canonical method for characterizing the linear and nonlinear viscoelastic behaviors of any polymeric material. With prominent and abundant work on linear viscoelastic studies, the nonlinear behavior is evasive in terms of generating infinite higher harmonics in the nonlinear regime. For this reason, intrinsic nonlinearities from large amplitude oscillatory shear (LAOS) studies have recently been used for insights on microstructural behaviors. This study is carried out for linear and nonlinear viscoelastic behavior with a main focus on LAOS of isostatic polypropylene (iPP) and relatively new low molecular weight and low modulus polypropylene-based polyolefin (LMPP) blends. The morphological results showed reduced spherulitic crystal nucleus size and increased distribution in blends with increasing LMPP. The blends showed subtle linear viscoelastic responses with strong nonlinear mechanical responses to variant strain and stress compared to pure iPP. The intracycle strain thickening and intracycle strain stiffening of high-content LMPP blends were comparatively dominant at medium strain amplitudes. |
