Abstract:The paper reports the mechanical behaviour of two polymers, poly(vinylidenē uoride) (PVDF) and polyamide 11 (PA11), under high-gas-pressure (carbon dioxide and argon atmospheres) media at 42°C by using a normal indentation test. The experimental technique, an indentation method, for the measurement of the indentation hardness is described and the corresponding data are reported as a function of the temperature and pressure. Argon interacts poorly with both polymers and the data are similar; the hardness increa… Show more
“…The values of E 0 obtained in our case are 30 GPa for the non-poled sample and 840 GPa for the poled one. The value obtained for the non-poled samples is lower than the one observed in [25] as expected due to the difference in the experimental conditions. The strong increase of the Young's modulus at 0 K with poling reflects on the one side, the increase of strength due to the electromechanical coupling, but on the other hand the value is extremely big due to lower thermo-mechanical thermal stability of the poled sample.…”

“…The value of the parameter a (units K À1 ) is 0.013 for the non-poled longitudinal sample, 0.021 for the poled parallel sample and 0.026 for the non-poled transversal sample. The value obtained for the non-poled longitudinal samples is the same as the one obtained by in compression experiments in similar samples [25]. The values of E 0 obtained in our case are 30 GPa for the non-poled sample and 840 GPa for the poled one.…”

“…3). The value of the initial hardness obtained for the non-poled sample stretched along the longitudinal direction -H 0 = 95 MPa -is half from the one observed in previous compression experiments [25] but shows the same temperature dependence as indicated by the value of the b-parameter, 0.012 K À1 . The dipolar interactions between crystallites and the crystallites and the amorphous media though the interface increases hardness but decreases its thermal stability: H 0 = 179 MPa, b = 0.015 K À1 for the poled longitudinal sample.…”
