Filling materials

When process tanks, road tankers, or rail tank cars are filled, material in the vapor space is forced out of the tank and lost to atmosphere.

Resin Viscosity. The flow properties of uncured compounded plastics is affected by the particle loading, shape, and degree of dispersion. Flow decreases with increased sphericity and degree of dispersion, but increases with increased loading. Fillers with active surfaces can provide thixotropy to filled materials by forming internal network stmctures which hold the polymers at low stress. 

The si2e of the vegetable tanning molecules and the coUoidal nature of the system result in the fixation in the hide of filling materials. The filling action is essentially an impregnation of the hide to form a dense firm leather. These properties are gready desired in sole and mechanical leathers. 

Medicine. The polymethacrylates have been used for many years in the manufacture of dentures, teeth, denture bases, and filling materials (116,117) (see Dental materials). In the orthodontics market, methacrylates have found acceptance as sealants, or pit and fissure resin sealants which are painted over teeth and act as a barrier to tooth decay. The dimensional behavior of curing bone-cement masses has been reported (118), as has the characterization of the microstmcture of a cold-cured acryUc resin (119). Polymethacrylates are used to prepare both soft and hard contact lenses (120,121). Hydrogels based on 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate are used in soft contact lenses and other biomedical appHcations (122,123) (see Contactlenses).

Admixtures are sometimes used to reduce permeabiUty of concrete (80—82). These iaclude pore-filling materials such as chalk. Fuller s earth, or talc water repellents such as mineral oil, asphalt, or wax emulsions organic polymers (acryflc latexes, epoxies) and salts of fatty acids, especially stearates. 

Polybutenes enjoy extensive use as adhesives, caulks, sealants, and glaring compounds. They are used as plasticizers in mbber formulations with butyl mbber, SBR, and natural mbber. In linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE) blends they induce cling to stretch-wrap films. Polybutenes when modified at their unsaturated end groups with polar fiinctionahty are widely employed in lubricants as dispersants. Blends of polybutene with polyolefins produce semisoHd gels that can be used as potting and electrical cable filling materials.

Nearly all the expanded polystyrene that is not used for thermal insulation is used for packaging. Uses range from individually designed box interiors for packing delicate equipment such as cameras and electronic equipment, thermoformed egg-boxes to individual beads (which may be up to 5 cm long and about 1 cm in diameter) for use as a loose fill material. There is also some use of thin-wall containers for short-term packaging and conveying of hot food from... 

As with the aliphatic polyamides, the heat deflection temperature (under 1.82 MPa load) of about 96°C is similar to the figure for the Tg. As a result there is little demand for unfilled polymer, and commercial polymers are normally filled. The inclusion of 30-50% glass fibre brings the heat deflection temperature under load into the range 217-231°C, which is very close to the crystalline melting point. This is in accord with the common observation that with many crystalline polymers the deflection temperature (1.82 MPa load) of unfilled material is close to the Tg and that of glass-filled material is close to the T. ...

Biocorrosion of stainless steel is caused by exopolymer-producing bacteria. It can be shown that Fe is accumulated in the biofilm [2.62]. The effect of bacteria on the corrosion behavior of the Mo metal surface has also been investigated by XPS [2.63]. These last two investigations indicate a new field of research in which XPS can be employed successfully. XPS has also been used to study the corrosion of glasses [2.64], of polymer coatings on steel [2.65], of tooth-filling materials [2.66], and to investigate the role of surface hydroxyls of oxide films on metal [2.67] or other passive films.

The majority of pipelines today are coated with hot-applied plasticised coal tar or petroleum asphalt enamels. Both coal-tar pitch and petroleum asphalt have been used as protectives with and without filling materials. When filled... 

However, the chief purpose of introduction of fillers into PCM is to make possible the modification of polymers and thereby create materials with a prescribed set of physico-mechanical properties, and, obviously, the properties of filled materials may be controlled by, for example, varying the type of the base polymer (the matrix ) and filler, its particle size distribution and shape. It may not require a large quantity of filler [7]. Thanks to considerable advances in PCM research, their use in a broad range of industries — machine building, construction, aerospace technology, etc. — has become extensive [8 — 11]. 

The strength characteristics of composites with an anisodiametric filler depend heavily on the orientation of the reinforcements relative to the direction of load application. For fiber-filled materials this has been observed in a number of works (cf., e.g. [133,153-157]) illustration can be borrowed from [157] the data of which are presented as Table 3 below. 

Earlier we have said that the flow of filled materials can be raised by modification. One of the modification alternatives consists in using a combination ( flexible ) filler. As shown in [366], addition of a small quantity of glass balls to composites filled with chalk caused a sudden increase of the flow of the system, provided the filler concentration is below critical. Similar behavior was also observed in fiber-filled systems when a small quantity of dispersed particles were added [33],...
