PKSC 4300 Exam 2 - Joey's Version
1. clarity, crystallinity, dimensional stability/shrinkability, gloss: 4 reasons why we orient
films:
2. orientation: process of aligning polymer chains in a direction
3. random, arranges: natural cooling of polymer causes polymer chain orientation, however
stretching the film polymer chains.
4. strength, stiffness, stability: Stretching the film in one or two directions increases the ,
and dimensional (helpful for printing)
5. monoaxial: one direction orientation;
strength only matters in one direction;
6. monoaxial: offers directional tear;
machine direction
7. biaxial: two directions orientation;
1/7
,8. biaxial: offers strength, stiffness, and dimensional stability in two directions
9. biaxial: most print films in laminations are biaxially oriented
10. tentering: this method of orientation typically begins with a cast film
11. double bubble: this method of orientation typically begins with a blown film
12. machine direction orientation (monoaxial stretching):
13. sequential biaxial oriented tentering machine:
14. simultaneous biaxial oriented tentering machine:
15. double bubble biaxial orientation:
16. Tubular Simultaneous: Which has better MD/CD balance? Flat Sequential or Tubular Simultaneous?
17. Flat Sequential: Which has better thickness uniformity: Flat Sequential or Tubular Simultaneous?
2/7
, 18. Flat Sequential: Which has more film flatness: Flat Sequential or Tubular Simultaneous?
19. Tubular Simultaneous: Which has more randomization: Flat Sequential or Tubular Simultaneous?
