General resin

Solubility. Generally, resins are soluble in most common organic solvents, especially aromatics, esters, and chlorinated solvents. They are insoluble in... 

In general, resins are compatible with a large number of materials (oils, plasticizers, polyethylene waxes, rubbers). Compatibility depends on resin type, molecular weight and its distribution, resin structure and configuration, and finally on application requirements. 

Tackifiers. Resins are generally added to adjust the desired tack. In general, resins must be used with plasticizers to obtain a good balance between tack and cohesive strength. Typical tackifiers are polyterpenes, although hydrocarbon resins and modified rosins and rosin esters can also be used. In some cases, terpene-phenolics or phenol-formaldehyde resins are added to increase adhesion. 

One of the key technologies used in combinatorial chemistry is solid-phase organic synthesis (SPOS) [2], originally developed by Merrifield in 1963 for the synthesis of peptides [3]. In SPOS, a molecule (scaffold) is attached to a solid support, for example a polymer resin (Fig. 7.1). In general, resins are insoluble base polymers with a linker molecule attached. Often, spacers are included to reduce steric hindrance by the bulk of the resin. Linkers, on the other hand, are functional moieties, which allow the attachment and cleavage of scaffolds under controlled conditions. Subsequent chemistry is then carried out on the molecule attached to the support until, at the end of the often multistep synthesis, the desired molecule is released from the support. 

The modulus of PE resins increases with increasing solid density. Thus, a HDPE resin has a higher modulus than an LDPE resin, as shown by the data in Table 2.3. In general, resins with low solid densities feel soft to the touch while resins with high densities feel hard. The and Tg for selected semicrystalline and amorphous materials are given in Table 2.3. 

The Potente-Schoppner model provides evidence for why extruders over 150 mm in diameter are not designed with grooved barrel feed sections. In general, resin... 

Resin Blank Artifacts Effect of 2 ppm of Residual Chlorine. Three basic types of blank experiments were performed. One was performed to identify any artifacts caused by the presence of 2 ppm of chlorine in blank water used in the separation-concentration procedure, and another was performed to identify any artifacts in the general resin procedure. In addition, a reagent blank was also concentrated and analyzed. The reagent blank was performed in a manner identical to the pure water blanks, except that no resin was included in the procedure. This reagent blank gave an indication of contaminants arising from sources other than the resin (i.e., glassware, water, solvents). 

Identification oj the resins. This is not very easy as the resins are often mixed and since, in general, resins for varnish making are subjected to special treatment to facilitate their dissolution, the physical and chemical properties being altered thereby. 

Additions of BN powder to epoxies, urethanes, silicones, and other polymers are ideal for potting compounds. BN increases the thermal conductivity and reduces thermal expansion and makes the composites electrically insulating while not abrading delicate electronic parts and interconnections. BN additions reduce surface and dynamic friction of rubber parts. In epoxy resins, or generally resins, it is used to adjust the electrical conductivity, dielectric loss behavior, and thermal conductivity, to create ideal thermal and electrical behavior of the materials [146]. 

Resin capacity is an extremely important parameter in ion chromatography. Details of the effect of capacity on the behavior of resins for ion chromatography are found in Chapter 5. Generally, resins of lower capacity will lower the eluent concentration needed to elute sample ions from the column.

Table 1 lists suppliers for PVB resins, commercial trade names, and reported 1999 plant capacities (49). The only major manufacturer of PVF resins is Chisso Corp. in Japan (trade name Vinylec). Chisso purchased Monsanto s PVF Formvar business in 1992. Wacker no longer manufactures PVF Pioloform F resins, only PVB Pioloform B resins. Table 2 lists reported properties of Vinylec PVF resins (21). The physical, mechanical, and thermal properties of various grades of Solu-tia s Butvar resins are listed in Table 3 (19). In general, resin melt and solution viscosity increase with increasing molecular weight and vinyl alcohol content, whereas the tensile strength of materials made from PVB increases with vinyl alcohol content for a given molecular weight.

Compatibility. The ability of two or more substances combined with each other to form a homogeneous composition of useful plastic properties for example, the suitability of a sizing or finish for use with certain general resin types nonreactivity or negligible reactivity between materials in contact. 

These materials are used for the different modes of biochromatographic separation, ion exchange, hydrophobic interaction, gel filtration, and also affinity chromatography. Some materials are underivatized but not commercially available. In general, resins suitable for gel filtration of proteins are good candidates for affinity chromatography. 

Latex adhesives are based on natural rubber or on various types of synthetic rubber. Occasionally, mixtures of natural rubber and synthetic resin latices are also used. In general, resins or solvents also are used in the production of latex adhesives. 

A common finishing item for various types of flooring are vinyl and rubber cove base trims. Generally, resin-type adhesives are used for these cove bases, extruded in parallel strips approximately 1 " to 2" apart along the back of cove base. Alternatively, cove base can be installed very efficiently with neoprene contact cements. The cove base is first put into position without any adhesive, and a light pencil mark made along the top edge of the cove onto the wall surface. The neoprene contact cement is then brushed in the space below the pencil mark as well as on the back side of the vinyl or rubber cove base, the solvent is allowed to evaporate, then cove is pressed into position for immediate bond.
