Abstract
Study has been made of the pressure distribution over rotatable Bridgman anvils prepared from KhVG steel and VK-6 alloy, working at room temperature and over the pressure range from 10 to 40 kbar. The pressure distribution was determined by following the polymerization of acrylamide under the combined action of high pressure and deformational shear. The polymer yield was found to increase with increasing pressure at fixed angle of rotation of the anvil. Study was made of the effect of pressure on the polymer yield over various annular zones marked out within the sample. The pressure distribution was found to vary with the material of which the anvil was constructed, the normal pressure, and the sample geometry. It was also found that there was one interval within which the pressure over the anvil was almost constant.
