Molecular weight function

Dusek (1), Shy (2 and Bauer (3) give examples of modelling the structure-property relation of several networks (Tg, gel point, etc.). Examples are described of models on solvent evaporation, calculation of functionalities, molecular weight of resins (4), etc. 

The main characteristics of the ideal extraction method are given in Table 3.47, which at the same time are also criteria for comparison of sample preparation techniques. It is unlikely that a unique best method can be defined, which is analyte and matrix independent. Extraction is affected by polymer functionality, molecular weight and cross-linking. Selective extraction of some additives is basically not possible. Hence, the goal of an ideal extraction would be the complete extraction of all additives from the polymer for subsequent chromatographic separation.

Another consequence of partial lipid depletion is that the residual K -stimulated phosphatase is not inhibited by Na nor undergoes stimulation by Na" " -I-ATP at low K concentrations [117,124]. This has led to the suggestion that the K" -stimulated phosphatase activity in preparations containing a full lipid complement is a monomeric enzyme function by virtue of a K -induced dissociation of the dimer into monomers. Na would inhibit the phosphatase by inducing dimerization. In lipid-depleted preparations, having only one of the monomers saturated with lipid as a prerequisite for phosphatase activity to occur, Na would be unable to cause dimerization. Hence, it does neither inhibit the phosphatase activity nor stimulate Na-K ATPase activity for which dimerization is essential. As a consequence, the Na -dependent reactions (ATP-phosphorylation and the ADP-ATP exchange) would be expressions of the dimer and the -dependent reactions (K -stimulated dephosphorylation and phosphatase) expressions of the monomer. However, thimerosal, which would inhibit monomer interaction, does not inhibit any of these partial reactions, but increases the affinities for K" " [125,126] and lipid depletion reduces the Na -dependent phosphorylation less than the overall Na-K ATPase activity [122]. It is clear from these studies that an unequivocal answer as to the monomeric and dimeric nature of the partial reactions in the overall Na-K ATPase reaction and their lipid dependence must await determination of their functional molecular weights.

The polyols used include PO adducts of polyfiinctional hydroxy compoimds or amines (see Table 4). The amine-derived polyols are used in spray foam formulations where high reaction rates are required. Crude aromatic polyester diols are often used in combination with the multifunctional polyether polyols. Blending of polyols of different functionality, molecular weight, and reactivity is used to tailor a polyol for a speciflc application. The high functionality of the polyether polyols combined with the higher functionality of PMDI contributes to the rapid network formation required for rigid polyurethane foams.

Control of the reaction sequence in making flexible, open-cell, polyurethane foam using the one-shot process is accomplished by choosing the polyol, the surfactant, and the combination of tertiary-amine and organometallic, usually tin, catalysts. As in the previously described procedures for making urethane elastomers and microcellular products, for foams, polyols— poly(propylene oxide) polyols often containing minor amounts of ethylene oxide—are used. These polyols are selected by functionality, molecular weight, and reactivity (see Table 3). 

The rate of polymerization is increased with temperature because of an increase in the propagation rate constant and also an increase in the equilibrium constant [6]. Higher kp/kj ratios and better control of the polymerization is achieved at higher temperatures. On the other hand, transfer and some other side reactions become more significant at higher temperatures. Depending on the desired polymer, in relation to functionality, molecular weight, etc., the optimal conditions should be determined for each system. 

Neutron activation analysis (NAA) also was used to verify the presence of both silicon and oxygen in the polymer and to calculate functional molecular weights. Functional molecular weights were obtained by comparing the percent silicon or oxygen to the percent carbon. These values agree within 5% of the values determined by NMR spectroscopy.
