摘要

Polyester based multi-layered films (MLFs) are films made up of several different polymer layers, with applications including touch screens, smart cards and food packaging. The use of multiple layers gives increased functionality compared with mono-layered products. Such MLFs are formed when different low Reynolds number polymer melt flows come together in a process known as coextrusion. The main coextrusion geometries used to achieve these structures involve an injector block linked to a die or a multi-manifold die. As the secondary layer gets thinner, it becomes difficult to obtain an even layer distribution across the MLF width. The finite volume based Computational Fluid Dynamics software STAR-CCM+ is used to evaluate the layer control capability of the two technologies, supplementing and guiding experimental trial work and offering an improved understanding of the complex interaction of rheology, melt and wall temperatures and flow geometry with layer thickness control. Coextrusion structures typical of DTF operation are created and meshed using the software fluids entering with initially identical physical properties, based upon experimental rheological data on polyester melts. The multi-manifold die system is found to be more robust at controlling thin multi-layered films uniformly. This result can be attributed to the simpler uni-directional multi-layer flow generated in the die. However based upon the experimental evidence, some aspects of the poorer injector block performance are attributed to insufficient mesh resolution and the thinnest part and the outlet of the end fed die for such thin layers. Consideration is given to future experimentally verifying the simulations.
