Notes The values of A, B, and C and thus of y are based on a reference volume Vre/ = 0.1 nm Polymer notation A d- label preceding the polymer acronym indicates a per-deuterated polymer partially deuterated polymers are labeled as dy, df, etc., for selective deuteration of 3, 4, etc., hydrogens. Numbers in subscripted parentheses after the polymer name indicate the primary comonomer fraction, e.g., SPB(6s) is a saturated polybutadiene with 66 mol% butadiene Polymer acronyms P2VP poly(2-vinyl pyridine), P4MS poly(4-methylstyrene), PBMA poly(n-butyl methacrylate), PCHA poly(cyclohexyl acrylate), PEB poly(ethyl butylene), PIB polyisobutylene, PI polyisoprene, PMMA poly(methyl methacrylate), PPMA poly(n-pentyl methacrylate), PP polypropylene, HHPP head-to-head polypropylene, PS polystyrene, PVME poly(vinyl methyl ether), PXE poly(2,6-dimethyl-l,4-phenylene oxide), SPB saturated polybutadiene, SPI saturated polyisoprene...

The following table contains the abbreviations and acronyms of names of polymeric materials whose base polymers were obtained by chain polymerization (addition polymerization), copolymerization, polycondensation (condensation polymerization), and polyaddition. Note that these abbreviations and acronyms do not apply in industry to polymers per se but to polymeric materials, i.e. polymers with or without additives, tillers, plasticizers, etc. 

Recent work on thermoplastic vulcanizates (TPVs) will not be included in this chapter since it is being reviewed elsewhere in the book. Abbreviations for some mbbers and accelerators will be used throughout in place of their full names as shown in Table 11.1. Acronyms for other polymers and additives wUl be provided in the text as required. A short discussion of polymer miscibility and compatibUization of polymer blends will be provided for better appreciation of the subject. 

In the 1970s, ICI introduced this polymer and copolymers in which it was the major constituent as commercial products, initially under the acronym PHB, and a little later under the trade name Biopol, which referred specifically to copolymers containing p-oxybutyrate and up to 30 % of P-oxyvalerate repeating units. The copolymer is more flexible and tougher than the homopolymer [100, 101].

PPG [Polypropylene Glycol] Abbreviated to the acronym PPG by the International Nomenclature Cosmetic Ingredient. Polypropylene glycol polymers are named as PPG-x , where x is the average number of propylene oxide (CjHgO) monomer units (e.g., PPG-10). Esters and ethers of polypropylene glycol polymers are named as PPG derivatives (e.g., PPG-10 stearate, PPG-10 lauryl ether). These compounds are generally used as emollients, emulsifiers, humectants, or surfactants. 

A simple repeating unit and name cannot be written for polymer blends and/or graft copolymers such as ABS (acronym for acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene), which are an important class of thermoplastics. 

Tables 1.2 - 1.5 contain a compilation of the plastics discussed in this volume, their chemical abbreviations, and some selected trade names. An extensive table of polymer acronyms on ASTM, DIN, and ISO standards can be found in Appendix 9.4.

The online version of the Polymer Data Handbook includes key data on over two hundred polymers. Please note that entries are presented as PDF files and can only be read using Adobe Acrobat Reader Version 3. If you do not have the freeware reader, it can be downloaded from Adobe in the United States or Adobe in the United Kingdom. Each entry opens with a citation of the contributor s name and notations of acronyms and trade names, class of polymer, structure, and major applications. 

Fuel cells are often named for either the fuel or the electrolyte used. In the hydro-gen-PEM fuel cell (the acronym PEM stands for either proton-exchange membrane or polymer-electrolyte membrane), the anode and cathode are separated by a membrane, which is permeable to protons but not to electrons ( FIGURE 20.21). The membrane therefore acts as a salt bridge. The electrodes are typically made from graphite. 

These fibre-formimg polymers are so-called ladder polymers and possess wholly aromatic polymer chains. The two common examples available commercially are the polybenzimidazole FBI (Intertek, formerly Celanese) with the full chemical name poly (2,2 -(m-phenylene)-5,5 -bibenzimidazole) and the polybenzoxazole Zylon (Toyobo) with the full chemical name polyfpara-phenylene benzobisoxazole) and generic acronym PBO. Their similarity in polymer chain stractures and high degrees of...
