Optimization of the pre-tension and separation distance for measurement of the dynamic elastic modulus and macromolecular orientation of a polypropylene monofilament via the sonic velocity method.

Using a fiber orientation degree measurement instrument (i.e., a dynamic modulus tester), 28 groups of averaged sonic pulse travel times in a polypropylene monofilament were measured and recorded under five pre-tensions across eight separation distances. The zero-time (or delay time) T0, sonic velocity C, sonic modulus E, Hermans orientation factor F, and orientation angle θ were calculated via two- and multi-point methods. The good agreement observed between the scatter plots of calculated data and the regression lines shows that the multi-point method provides reliable, accurate determination of the sonic modulus (or the dynamic elastic modulus) and the orientation parameters. Surprisingly, the zero-time for sonic pulse propagation depends significantly on the separation distance in practice, although it does not in theory. For easy and rapid measurement or relative comparisons using the two-point method, the optimal range of pre-tension is 0.1 gf/den-0.2 gf/den, and the optimal separation distances are 200 mm and 400 mm. The two-point method is appropriate for industrial applications, while because of its greater accuracy, the multi-point method is preferred for scientific research.
