Composition property relationship

Flow behavior of the polymer blends is determined by their structure, which is governed by the degree of dispersion of the component and by the mode of their distribution. For blends having identical compositions, it is possible to produce systems in which one and the same component may be either a dispersion medium or a dispersed phase [1]. This behavior of the polyblend systems depends on various parameters, the most important of which is the blending sequence. It is, therefore, difficult to obtain a uniform composition property relationship for the polymer blends even though the composition remains identical. 

The resulting experimental designs are saved to the Renaissance Application Server (RAS), where they provide a record of the compositional makeup of each sample in the design. The designs also provide the process conditions under which the sample was created for assessing composition/property relationships.

Polymer Composition-Property Relationship. Tables I summarized the representative thermotropic polyester-carbonate samples prepared from BHQ/MHQ/DPT/DPC. The first series (entry 1-3) of compositions under investigation was those containing BHQ. Higher DPT/DPC ratio gave polymer with higher melting temperature.

In these cases, i.e. when a direct comparison with experimental observables is not possible, the results of Molecular Dynamics simulations can be used to provide the numerical representation of structure (codified by stmctural descriptors) to be related with the experimental properties of interest through mathematical models. This implies a shift from empirical composition-property relationships to computational structure-property relationships, thus acquiring an immense practical importance in the development of predictive and interpretative models [16]. This approach, called Quantitative Structure-Property Relationships (QSPR), is well known and extensively applied in the area of drug discovery, and chemical toxicology modeling. However, its application in the field of material design is only recently being explored [17-19].

Relatively few processible polyimides, particularly at a reasonable cost and iu rehable supply, are available commercially. Users of polyimides may have to produce iutractable polyimides by themselves in situ according to methods discussed earlier, or synthesize polyimides of unique compositions iu order to meet property requirements such as thermal and thermoxidative stabilities, mechanical and electrical properties, physical properties such as glass-transition temperature, crystalline melting temperature, density, solubility, optical properties, etc. It is, therefore, essential to thoroughly understand the stmcture—property relationships of polyimide systems, and excellent review articles are available (1—5,92). 

Structure—Property Relationships The modem approach to the development of new elastomers is to satisfy specific appHcation requirements. AcryUc elastomers are very powerhil in this respect, because they can be tailor-made to meet certain performance requirements. Even though the stmcture—property studies are proprietary knowledge of each acryUc elastomer manufacturer, some significant information can be found in the Hterature (18,41). Figure 3a shows the predicted according to GCT, and the volume swell in reference duid, ASTM No. 3 oil (42), related to each monomer composition. Figure 3b shows thermal aging resistance of acryHc elastomers as a function of backbone monomer composition.

Recent developments in polymer chemistry have allowed for the synthesis of a remarkable range of well-defined block copolymers with a high degree of molecular, compositional, and structural homogeneity. These developments are mainly due to the improvement of known polymerization techniques and their combination. Parallel advancements in characterization methods have been critical for the identification of optimum conditions for the synthesis of such materials. The availability of these well-defined block copolymers will facilitate studies in many fields of polymer physics and will provide the opportunity to better explore structure-property relationships which are of fundamental importance for hi-tech applications, such as high temperature separation membranes, drug delivery systems, photonics, multifunctional sensors, nanoreactors, nanopatterning, memory devices etc. 

The nanometer- to micrometer-scale dimensions of supramolecular assemblies present many challenges to rigorous compositional and structural characterization. Development of adequate structure-property relationships for these complex hierarchical systems will require improved measurement methods and techniques. The following areas constitute critical thrusts in instrument development.
