Zaworotko and coworkers also studied the epoxidation property of porph MOM-4, containing ship-in-a-bottle encapsulated metalloporphyrins. Porph MOM-4 efficiently oxidizes 85% styrene substrate into 30% styrene oxide and 57% benzaldehyde, whereas the homogeneous catalyst Fe -TMPyP only let 35% conversion under the same conditions. To prove porph MOM-4 has size selectivity, they studied the oxidation efficiency of larger-sized substrates such as trans-stilbene and triph-enylethylene. Accompanying the increase in substrate size, there was a decrease in conversion. These results are consistent with the pore windows ( 9 x 9 A ) of porph MOM-4 that can select small substrate to enter the cages.

The most striking chemical property of epoxides is their far greater reactivity toward nude ophilic reagents compared with that of simple ethers Epoxides react rapidly with nude ophiles under conditions in which other ethers are inert This enhanced reactivity results from the angle strain of epoxides Reactions that open the nng relieve this strain... 

These monomers provide a means for introducing carboxyl groups into copolymers. In copolymers these acids can improve adhesion properties, improve freeze-thaw and mechanical stability of polymer dispersions, provide stability in alkalies (including ammonia), increase resistance to attack by oils, and provide reactive centers for cross-linking by divalent metal ions, diamines, or epoxides. 

In general, the peilluoioepoxides have boiling points that are quite similar to those of the corresponding fluoroalkenes. They can be distinguished easily from the olefins by it spectroscopy, specifically by the lack of olefinic absorption and the presence of a characteristic band between 1440 and 1550 cm . The nmr spectra of most of the epoxides have been recorded. Litde physical property data concerning these compounds have been pubhshed (Table 1). The stmcture of HFPO by electron diffraction (13) as well as its solubility and heats of solution in some organic solvents have been measured (14,15). 

Additives. Because of their versatility, imparted via chemical modification, the appHcations of ethyleneimine encompass the entire additive sector. The addition of PEI to PVC plastisols increases the adhesion of the coatings by selective adsorption at the substrate surface (410). PEI derivatives are also used as adhesion promoters in paper coating (411). The adducts formed from fatty alcohol epoxides and PEI are used as dispersants and emulsifiers (412). They are able to control the viscosity of dispersions, and thus faciHtate transport in pipe systems (413). Eatty acid derivatives of PEI are even able to control the viscosity of pigment dispersions (414). The high nitrogen content of PEIs has a flame-retardant effect. This property is used, in combination with phosphoms compounds, for providing wood panels (415), ceUulose (416), or polymer blends (417,418) with a flame-retardant finish. 

Cycloahphatic diamines react with dicarboxyUc acids or their chlorides, dianhydrides, diisocyanates and di- (or poly-)epoxides as comonomers to form high molecular weight polyamides, polyimides, polyureas, and epoxies. Polymer property dependence on diamine stmcture is greater in the linear amorphous thermoplastic polyamides and elastomeric polyureas than in the highly crosslinked thermo set epoxies (2—4). 

The third and newest modified natural mbber available is epoxidized natural mbber (ENR). This modification was actually discovered as early as 1922 (50), although the elimination of ring opening and side reactions to give a purely epoxidized material took another 50 years or so to achieve (51). The resulting polymer is a new material, with properties totally different from natural mbber, as iadicated ia Table 5.

It is possible to react an organic moiety to the hydroxyl groups on ceU waU components. This type of treatment also bulks the ceU with a permanently bonded chemical (68). Many compounds modify wood chemically. The best results are obtained by the hydroxyl groups of wood reacting under neutral or mildly alkaline conditions below 120°C. The chemical system used should be simple and must be capable of swelling the wood stmcture to facUitate penetration. The complete molecule must react quickly with wood components to yield stable chemical bonds while the treated wood retains the desirable properties of untreated wood. Anhydrides, epoxides, and isocyanates have ASE values of 60—75% at chemical weight gains of 20—30%. 

Physical and Chemical Properties. The (F)- and (Z)-isomers of cinnamaldehyde are both known. (F)-Cinnamaldehyde [14371-10-9] is generally produced commercially and its properties are given in Table 2. Cinnamaldehyde undergoes reactions that are typical of an a,P-unsaturated aromatic aldehyde. Slow oxidation to cinnamic acid is observed upon exposure to air. This process can be accelerated in the presence of transition-metal catalysts such as cobalt acetate (28). Under more vigorous conditions with either nitric or chromic acid, cleavage at the double bond occurs to afford benzoic acid. Epoxidation of cinnamaldehyde via a conjugate addition mechanism is observed upon treatment with a salt of /-butyl hydroperoxide (29). 

The polarity of the polyethers makes them incompatible with hydrocarbon-type plasticizers, which tend to bleed. Effective plasticizers are ethers such as di(butoxyethoxyethyl)formal [143-29-3] (Thiokors TP-90B), esters such as di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate [117-81-7] dioctyl phthalate (DOP), polyesters such as Paraplex G50 (Rohm and Haas), and ether—esters such as di(butoxyethoxyethyl) adipate [114-17-3] (Thiokol s TP-95). The lower mol wt plasticizers, DOP, TP-90B, and TP-95 improve vulcanizate low temperature performance. The polymeric plasticizers maintain higher temperature and long-term aging properties. Epoxidized plasticizers should be avoided because they interfere with vulcanization.

Because of their favourable price, polyesters are preferred to epoxide and furane resins for general purpose laminates and account for at least 95% of the low-pressure laminates produced. The epoxide resins find specialised uses for chemical, electrical and heat-resistant applications and for optimum mechanical properties. The furane resins have a limited use in chemical plant. The use of high-pressure laminates from phenolic, aminoplastic and silicone resins is discussed elsewhere in this book.

Compared with the polyesters the epoxide resins generally have better mechanical properties and, using appropriate hardeners, better heat resistance and chemical resistance, in particular, resistance to alkalis.
