Shear flow of molten polymer in melt blowing

Besides the air flow field, the flow field of molten polymer plays a key role in fiber formation in the melt‐blowing (MB) process. In this article, the flow field of molten polymer was discussed, and its effects on the fiber microstructures were studied through theory and experiments. First, this fi...

description Besides the air flow field, the flow field of molten polymer plays a key role in fiber formation in the melt‐blowing (MB) process. In this article, the flow field of molten polymer was discussed, and its effects on the fiber microstructures were studied through theory and experiments. First, this field was supposed to be a kind of shear flow field. Two equations were introduced and solved. Then, analyzing the solutions combining with the actual melt‐blown practice, we concluded that the distribution profile of this flow field was a series of inverse parabolic in the course of the polymer stream attenuating. Further inferring from this flow pattern, we could also assume that there could have been a novel cross‐sectional microstructures in the melt‐blown fibers. Finally, the comparison experiments concerning the MB and its fibers were designed and carried out. The results indicated that the shear flow field could be qualitatively described by the equations, and the assumptions about the microstructures are basically in agreement with the experimental results.
