Mechanical characterization of high-density polyethylene in contact with diesel and biodiesel fuels

  • Renewable resources become more and more relevant to maintain energy demands for an increasing global population. Biosynthetic fuels like biodiesel might replace conventional petrochemical fuels, such as diesel. However, more research is needed to characterize the interaction between the different fuels and polymeric materials widely used in the fuel infrastructure as well as for automotive parts. Especially changes in the structural properties and mechanical behavior of the polyethylene (PE-HD) have to be addressed. The presented work comprises the direct interaction of high density polyethylene (PE-HD) with diesel and biodiesel, resulting in swelling and plasticization. Also long-term degradation phenomena will be discussed. The chosen PE-HD types are typical thermoplastic resins for container and storage tank applications. The impact of diesel and biodiesel in PE-HD is investigated by changes in the mechanical properties with emphasis on the Charpy impact strength.

The impact of diesel and biodiesel in PE-HD is investigated by changes in the mechanical properties with emphasis on the Charpy impact strength. Furthermore, structural and dynamic influences on the polymeric material induced by diesel and biodiesel are proven in Dynamic Mechanical Analysis (DMA). Both methods, Charpy impact strength and DMA, reveal softening effects due to the migration of diesel and biodiesel into the amorphous regions of PE-HD. Since biodiesel is more prone to oxidative degradation compared to diesel, the fuel/air/polymer-interaction is studied for partly immersed tensile test specimens. Main focus of the evaluation is the co-oxidation. Here, the accelerated deterioration of PE caused by the sorption of the facile oxidation of biodiesel into the solid polymer might be a major degradation mechanism in this context.zeige mehrzeige weniger
