Partial hydrogenation of acetylenic compounds bearing a functional group such as a double bond has also been studied in relation to the preparation of important vitamins and fragrances. For example, selective hydrogenation of the triple bond of acetylenic alcohols and the double bond of olefin alcohols (linalol, isophytol) was performed with Pd colloids, as well as with bimetallic nanoparticles Pd/Au, Pd/Pt or Pd/Zn stabilized by a block copolymer (polystyrene-poly-4-vinylpyridine) (Scheme 9.8). The best activity (TOF 49.2 s 1) and selectivity (>99.5%) were obtained in toluene with Pd/Pt bimetallic catalyst due to the influence of the modifying metal [87, 88]. 

Barium titanate is one example of a ferroelectric material. Other oxides with the perovskite structure are also ferroelectric (e.g., lead titanate and lithium niobate). One important set of such compounds, used in many transducer applications, is the mixed oxides PZT (PbZri-Ji/Ds). These, like barium titanate, have small ions in Oe cages which are easily displaced. Other ferroelectric solids include hydrogen-bonded solids, such as KH2PO4 and Rochelle salt (NaKC4H406.4H20), salts with anions which possess dipole moments, such as NaNOz, and copolymers of poly vinylidene fluoride. It has even been proposed that ferroelectric mechanisms are involved in some biological processes such as brain memory and voltagedependent ion channels concerned with impulse conduction in nerve and muscle cells.

Chlorine-containing Polymers. Polymers containing one chlorine atom in various environments (other sustituents) were studied by XPS poly(vinyl chloride) PVC, poly(chlorotrifluoro-ethylene) PCTFE, an (ethylene-chlorotrifluoroethylene) copolymer, and poly(epichlorohydrine) PEPI, were chosen because besides carbon atoms they contain chlorine in presence of hydrogen, fluorine, and oxygen atoms. The valence band spectra of these compounds (see Figure 9) show that features can be easily and unambiguously assigned to a contribution from the chlorine molecular orbitals. 

Several copolymers of acrylamide are used in practice. The addition of the acrylamide units in a copolymer can modify the polarity and bring a different hydrophilic character to the copolymer. Some pyrolysis studies on acrylamide copolymers are reported in literature [5]. Pyrolysis experiments for two copolymers of acrylamide are discussed below. The first copolymer is poly(acrylamide-co-acrylic acid) 1.5 wt % acrylic acid, CAS 9003-06-9, with M = 15,000,000. The pyrogram of this compound is shown in Figure 6.7.21. The pyrolysis was done at 600° C in He at a heating rate of 20° C/ms. The separation was done on a Carbowax column in similar conditions as for other experiments (see also Table 4.2.2). 

C CP/MAS spectroscopy is a convenient prehminary tool proving the formation of the IC [20,21]. Using this simple technique, it was possible to confirm the formation of CD inclusion complexes with many different copolymer compounds, e.g. PPO-PEO-PPO [22], PEO-poly[(i )-3-hydroxybutyrate]-PEO [23], PCL-PPG-PCL [24], as well as ferrocene derivatives [25] as guest molecules. Recently, C and Si CP/MAS sohd state NMR spectra were used for characterization of the inclusion complex of polysilsesquioxane with P-cy-clodextrin [26]. SaalwSchter reported using H Fast-MAS sohd state NMR techniques for elucidating the dynamics of the poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) in-... 

MNPs in simple imidazolium ILs tend to agglomerate/aggregate after some reactions such as hydrogenation of aromatic compounds or ketones. However, more stable catalytic systems in ILs can be obtained by the addition of ligand or polymeric stabilizers such as poly[(N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone)-co-(l-vinyl-3-aIkylimidazo-lium hahde)] copolymers [115], poly(N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone) (PVP) [116], carbon, montmoriUonite (MMT) or mesoporous SBA-15 [117, 118]. The NP/IL/extra-stabilizer combination usually exhibits an excellent synergistic effect that enhances the activity and durability of the catalyst for the hydrogenation of olefins. Another... 

Papers concerning the physical properties of polymers as the guest components in urea inclusion compounds and polymerization reactions of guest monomer molecules within the urea tunnel structure have been reviewed elsewhere. The polymers studied included poly (ethylene), poly (acrylonitrile), poly (1,3-butadiene), poly(eth-ylene oxide), poly(tetrahydrofiiran), poly(acrolein), poly(vinyl chloride), poly(ethyl acrylate), poly(lactide), poIy(lactic acid), poly(ethylene adipate). poly(ethylene succinate), acrylonitrile-ethyl acrylate copolymer, and poly(hexanediol di acrylate). 

Among these examples, copolymers of thiophene and acrylonitrile moieties can be electropolymer-ized, giving ECPs with electrochemical bandgap as low as 0.6 eV [221]. The same features were also observed in the case of copolymers of thiophene and thieno[3,4-h]thiophene separated by a cyanovi-nylene moiety [222], Various cyanoethylene thiophene polymers have been cycled between their n-doped and p-doped states to measure the stability and potential window for supercapacitor applications [223], The best compound, poly-(E)-alpha-[(2-thienyl)methylene]-2-thiophenacetonitrile, displays unfortunately 60% of electrochemical charge loss after 2000 cycles, for a 2 V potential range. 

Blending methyl methacrylate-butadiene-styrene copolymer with poly(vinyl chloride) for instance was shown to decelerate the dehydrochlorination (leading to discoloration). The gel content, surface energy, and the spectroscopic characteristics of the blend was altered by the presence of the seccHid polymer [158]. In ethylene-propylene-diene rubber EPDM where the third monomer is ethylene-2-norbomene (NB), the photo-oxidation rate as measured by the accumulation of typical products such as hydroperoxides, varied linearly with the NB content [159]. The same held true for peroxide-crosslinked compounds of the same EPDM except that the linear relationship was found between the relative carbonyl absorbance on photoxidation and the amoiuit of peroxide used to crosslink the material... 

Process Analysis - Diffusion. - Water diffusion in methacrylate based copolymer hydrogels and incorporaion of vitamin B12, aspirin or chlorhexidine Diacetate into such copolymer hydrogels were investigated." The diffusion of water into cylinders of poly-2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (PHEMA) and copolymers of (HEMA) with tetrahydrofurfuryl methacrylate (THFMA), butyl- methacrylate (BMA), and cyclohexyl methacrylate (CHMA) were studied over a range of copolymer compounds." The diffusion of water into the polymers was found to follow a Fickian, or case 1 mechanism. The diffusion coefficients of water were determined from mass measurements and NMR imaging studies. They were found to vary from 1.7 0.2 x 10 " m s for polyHEMA at 37°C to lower values for the copolymers. The mass of water absorbed at equilibrium relative to the mass of dry polymer varied from 52-58 wt% for polyHEMA to lower values for the copolymers. 

There seem to be only limited published studies of calcium carbonate s influence on the mechanical properties of thermoplastics and elastomers. Clearly, the Young s modulus and tensile strength are increased. H. Kim et al. [98] showed the addition of calcium carbonate into polypropylene, poly(propylene-random ethylene) copolymer, and poly( propylene-ethylene-butene) terpolymer increases Young s modulus and decreases elongation to break. Kwon et al. [99] observed the same trend for high-density polyethylene, low-density polypropylene, and linear low-density polyethylene compounds that tensile stress of calcium carbonate-filled compounds were higher than unfilled systems.
