Alkaline mechanical properties

Commercial Stabilizers. There is a great variety of commercial formulations utilizing the mixture of the alkaU and alkaline-earth metal salts and soaps. In many cases, products are custom formulated to meet the needs of a particular appHcation or customer. The acidic ligands used ia these products vary widely and have dramatic effects on the physical properties of the PVC formulations. The choice of ligands can affect the heat stabiHty, rheology, lubricity, plate-out tendency, clarity, heat sealabiHty, and electrical and mechanical properties of the final products. No single representative formulation can cover the variety of PVC appHcations where these stabilizers are used. 

Nickel—Copper. In the soHd state, nickel and copper form a continuous soHd solution. The nickel-rich, nickel—copper alloys are characterized by a good compromise of strength and ductihty and are resistant to corrosion and stress corrosion ia many environments, ia particular water and seawater, nonoxidizing acids, neutral and alkaline salts, and alkaUes. These alloys are weldable and are characterized by elevated and high temperature mechanical properties for certain appHcations. The copper content ia these alloys also easure improved thermal coaductivity for heat exchange. MONEL alloy 400 is a typical nickel-rich, nickel—copper alloy ia which the nickel content is ca 66 wt %. MONEL alloy K-500 is essentially alloy 400 with small additions of aluminum and titanium. Aging of alloy K-500 results in very fine y -precipitates and increased strength (see also Copper alloys).

The Requirement of a Divalent Alkaline Earth Metal. Lime-treated corn produces a dough whose functional properties depend on the pasting characteristics of starch. The hydroxides of different alkaline earth metals were tested to determine whether they could replace calcium in the nixtamalization process. It was not possible to prepare tortillas with adequate sensory or mechanical properties from corn treated with...

In 1961 Hayes and Twidell (8) found that if calcium fluoride crystals containing trivalent thulium were irradiated with x-rays, some of the thulium was converted to the divalent state. This discovery was the first of many in the study of dilute solutions of divalent rare earth ions. Most workers prefer to study the alkaline earth fluorides since these materials are stable with respect to air and have more attractive mechanical properties than the alkaline earth chlorides, bromides, and iodides. Enough work has been carried out in these softer materials to show that reactions similar to those in the fluorides do occur. 

Epoxy Mortars Epoxies are the strongest resin mortars, have the best bond strength to other CRM materials, and resist many solvents, mild to moderate acids, non-oxidizing and alkaline media. Their useful pH range is about 2-14, and their thermal limit is approximately 230°F. Besides their excellent alkali and dilute acid resistance, epoxy mortars handle many organic chemicals and sodium hypochlorite at low temperatures. Epoxies should not be exposed to acetic acid and its esters. Epoxy mortars have the best physical and mechanical properties of all the resin mortars. 

Figures 3.11a and 3.11b show the effect of different aqueous environments on the mechanical properties of PPy/pTS. It is clear that the films become more ductile in potassium chloride and potassium hydroxide solutions. Little change in properties is noted for films in air, water, sulfuric acid, or potassium sulfate. The reasons for these changes are not clear at present, although it is known that alkaline solutions have a degradative effect on PPy.128 These processes are likely to cause a reduction in the molecular weight and/or crosslink density of the polymer, and hence increase its ductility. The sensitivity of the polymer to environmental conditions demonstrates the importance of determining its behavior in the actual service environment.

Introduction of DPG alone will deoxidize the curing system due to its alkaline properties. The result is that structurization of the polymer will occur more quickly, violently, and at earlier stages, resulting in a sharp increase of interstruc-tural defects of the composite, and hence deterioration of its physical-mechanical properties.
