Because of increased production and the lower cost of raw material, thermoplastic elastomeric materials are a significant and growing part of the total polymers market. World consumption in 1995 is estimated to approach 1,000,000 metric tons (3). However, because the melt to soHd transition is reversible, some properties of thermoplastic elastomers, eg, compression set, solvent resistance, and resistance to deformation at high temperatures, are usually not as good as those of the conventional vulcanized mbbers. AppHcations of thermoplastic elastomers are, therefore, in areas where these properties are less important, eg, footwear, wine insulation, adhesives, polymer blending, and not in areas such as automobile tires. 

Thickeners can be added to increase the viscosity of the NR adhesives. Natural materials can be used such as casein or karaya gum, but currently synthetic polymers are used (methyl cellulose and derivatives, polyacrylates). 

Diffusion theory involves the interdiffusion of macromolecules between the adhesive and the substrate across the interface. The original interface becomes an interphase composed of mixtures of the two polymer materials. The chemical composition of the interphase becomes complex due to the development of concentration gradients. Such a macromolecular interdiffusion process is only... 

Polypropylene block and graft copolymers are efficient blend compatibilizers. These materials allow the formation of alloys, for example, isotactic polypropylene with styrene-acrylonitrile polymer or polyamides, by enhancing the dispersion of incompatible polymers and improving their interfacial adhesion. Polyolefinic materials of such types afford property synergisms such as improved stiffness combined with greater toughness. 

When —CO—CH=CH—COOH groups bonded to the aromatic ring of PS, the physico-mechanic, thermal, and adhesion properties increased from 4.5 mol% to 20.0 mol%. This caused the following changes the resistance of PS increased from 14.0 to 19.2 kJ/m, the resistance to stretch polymer material itself increased from 35.0 to... 

When the photostabilization of a polymer material is to be obtained through such a surface treatment process, it is all important to make sure that the protective effect will last throughout the service life and therefore to ensure a long-term adhesion of the coating onto the substrate. This can be best achieved by promoting a grafting reaction between the two elements (20). For that purpose, the photoinitiator was partly incorporated in the top layer of the PVC plate by a surface treatment with an acetone solution. Upon UV-irradiation of the resin-coated sample, the following reactions are expected to occur ... 

Another approach is that of bioadhesive materials. The principle is to administer a device with adhesive polymers having an affinity for the gastric surface, most probably the mucin coat [12]. Bioadhesives have demonstrated utility in the mouth, eye, and vagina, with a number of commercially available products. To date, use of bioadhesives in oral drug delivery is a theoretical possibility, but no promising leads have been published. 

Hydrophobic polymer materials that slowly release N O can be used on the surface of medical devices. Many medical devices suffer from the surface adhesion of blood platelets. To minimize this thrombogenic effect, blood thinners such as heparin, coumarin, and aspirin are often used. However, systemic administration of antiplatelet agents could increase the risk of uncontrolled bleeding elsewhere in the body. In contrast, biocompatible polymer films would solve this problem [153]. It is possible to create polymeric surfaces that mimic the inner surface of a blood vessel by... 

In a previous section, the effect of plasma on PVA surface for pervaporation processes was also mentioned. In fact, plasma treatment is a surface-modification method to control the hydrophilicity-hydrophobicity balance of polymer materials in order to optimize their properties in various domains, such as adhesion, biocompatibility and membrane-separation techniques. Non-porous PVA membranes were prepared by the cast-evaporating method and covered with an allyl alcohol or acrylic acid plasma-polymerized layer the effect of plasma treatment on the increase of PVA membrane surface hydrophobicity was checked [37].The allyl alcohol plasma layer was weakly crosslinked, in contrast to the acrylic acid layer. The best results for the dehydration of ethanol were obtained using allyl alcohol treatment. The selectivity of treated membrane (H20 wt% in the pervaporate in the range 83-92 and a water selectivity, aH2o, of 250 at 25 °C) is higher than that of the non-treated one (aH2o = 19) as well as that of the acrylic acid treated membrane (aH2o = 22).

Blood-compatible polymer materials are required to inhibit both platelet adhesion and coagulation just as the endothelial on the polymer surface. It is known that there are many investigations in the design and the synthesis of socalled antithrombogenic materials. The immobilization of biologically active substances such as heparin [74, 75], urokinase [76], and prostaglandins [77-81] is one of the practical approaches. 

There are several analytical tools that provide methods of extrapolating test data. One of these tools is the Williams, Landel, Ferry (WLF) transformation.14 This method uses the principle that the work expended in deforming a flexible adhesive is a major component of the overall practical work of adhesion. The materials used as flexible adhesives are usually viscoelastic polymers. As such, the force of separation is highly dependent on their viscoelastic nature and is, therefore, rate- and temperature-dependent. Test data, taken as a function of rate and temperature, can be expressed in the form of master curves obtained by WLF transformation. This offers the possibility of studying adhesive behavior over a sufficient range of temperatures and rates for most practical applications. Fligh rates of strain may be simulated by testing at lower rates of strain and lower temperatures. 

The saturated analogue of MDI, 4,4 -dicy-clohexyl methane diisocyanate, has found limited use as an aiphatic isocyanate in adhesives. This material is known by a variety of names including Desmodur W (Bayer), hydrogenated MDI (or HMDI or Hl2MDI), reduced MDI (RMDI), and saturated MDI (SMDI), It is a low-viscosity liquid with a fairly high vapor pressure, so it too must be handled with care. In adhesive compositions, the diisocyanate usually is used to make an isocyanate functional prepolymer by reacting excess diisocyanate with a hydroxyl or amine functional polymer such as a polyester diol.
