Dispersing Documentation

For reasons that are not fiiUy understood, PPSF exhibits generally improved compatibiUty characteristics over either PSF or PES in a number of systems. An example of this is blends of PPSF with polyaryletherketones (39,40). These blends form extremely finely dispersed systems with synergistic strength, impact, and environmental stress cracking resistance properties. Blends of PPSF with either PSF or PES are synergistic in the sense that they exhibit the super-toughness characteristic of PPSF at PSF or PES contents of up to 35 wt % (33,34). The miscibility of PPSF with a special class of polyimides has been discovered and documented (41). The miscibility profile of PPSF with high temperature (T > 230° C) polysulfones has been reported (42). 

Table 7.3,2-3 lists investigations to be conducted and documented for a detailed chemical plant PSA. The steps are similar to those required for a nuclear plant PSA except the hazards are more varied, and dispersed regarding concentration and location. Many of the steps previously described in Section 6.3.2 are applicable for the chemical PSA a-, well. 

The jet-plume model only simulates vertical jets. Terrain is assumed to be flat and unobstructed. Application is limited to surface roughness mush less than the dispersing layer. User experti.se is required to ensure that the selected runtime options are self-consistent and actually reflect the physical release conditions. Documentation needs improvement there is little guidance...

In a flash fire, a gas cloud or plume fonns and moves in a downwind direction. Subject to contact witli an ignition source, a wall of flame will flash back to the vapor source, sometimes witli explosive force. The beliavior of flash fire flames is not well documented. It is generally assumed tliat a flash fire will spread tliroughout tlie vapor cloud emitted and tliat it can be calculated by gas outflow dispersion. It is generally assumed tliat tlie fire is lethal to anyone within the contours of tlie cloud who is not wearing special protective gear. ... 

The advantage of the dispersing principle is related to the relatively low technical expenditure to achieve dispersion, i.e. the simplicity of the concept. However, as flow patterns may change and are not known for new systems, they have to be identified, documented as flow-pattern maps and controlled. Thus, some analytical characterization has to be done in advance of the experiment. Hence inspection windows again are essential (for the first prototype they may be eliminated later). 

PVA Particles. Dispersions were prepared in order to examine stabilization for a core polymer having a glass transition temperature below the dispersion polymerization temperature. PVA particles prepared with a block copolymer having M PS) x 10000 showed a tendency to flocculate at ambient temperature during redispersion cycles to remove excess block copolymer, particularly if the dispersion polymerization had not proceeded to 100 conversion of monomer. It is well documented that on mixing solutions of polystyrene and poly(vinyl acetate) homopolymers phase separation tends to occur (10,11), and solubility studies (12) of PS in n-heptane suggest that PS blocks with Mn(PS) 10000 will be close to dissolution when dispersion polymerizations are performed at 3 +3 K. Consequently, we may postulate that for soft polymer particles the block copolymer is rejected from the particle because of an incompatibility effect and is adsorbed at the particle surface. If the block copolymer desorbs from the particle surface, then particle agglomeration will occur unless rapid adsorption of other copolymer molecules occurs from a reservoir of excess block copolymer.

Since the Initial work of White (IQ), the Bell System and other major semiconductor users have extensively used silicones In the protection of numerous thin-film and thlck-fllm devices (24.25). The materials primarily have been condensation-cure silicones In xylene dispersion. The performance of encapsulated semiconductors used within the Bell System Is well documented (26). and studies continually In process support the use of silicones for the prevention of electronic component deterioration under conditions similar to the In-vlvo environment. 

It is the intent of this doeument to define the terms most commonly encountered in the field of polymer blends and eomposites. The scope has been limited to mixtures in which the eomponents differ in ehemical composition or molar mass or both and in which the continuous phase is polymeric. Many of the materials described by the term multiphase are two-phase systems that may show a multitude of finely dispersed phase domains. Hence, incidental thermodynamic descriptions are mainly limited to binary mixtures, although they can be and, in the scientific literature, have been generalized to multicomponent mixtures. Crystalline polymers and liquid-crystal polymers have been considered in other documents [1,2] and are not discussed here.
