In 1954 the surface fluorination of polyethylene sheets by using a soHd CO2 cooled heat sink was patented (44). Later patents covered the fluorination of PVC (45) and polyethylene bottles (46). Studies of surface fluorination of polymer films have been reported (47). The fluorination of polyethylene powder was described (48) as a fiery intense reaction, which was finally controlled by dilution with an inert gas at reduced pressures. Direct fluorination of polymers was achieved in 1970 (8,49). More recently, surface fluorinations of poly(vinyl fluoride), polycarbonates, polystyrene, and poly(methyl methacrylate), and the surface fluorination of containers have been described (50,51). Partially fluorinated poly(ethylene terephthalate) and polyamides such as nylon have excellent soil release properties as well as high wettabiUty (52,53). The most advanced direct fluorination technology in the area of single-compound synthesis and synthesis of high performance fluids is currently practiced by 3M Co. of St. Paul, Minnesota, and by Exfluor Research Corp. of Austin, Texas. 

Figure 1 shows a positive static SIMS spectrum (obtained using a quadrupole) for polyethylene over the mass range 0—200 amu. The data are plotted as secondary ion intensity on a linear y-axis as a function of their chaige-to-mass ratios (amu). This spectrum can be compared to a similar analysis from polystyrene seen in Figure 2. One can note easily the differences in fragmentation patterns between the...

Some materials are able to withstand quite lengthy thermal histories , a term loosely used to describe both the intensity (temperature) and the duration of heating. Polyethylene and polystyrene may often be reprocessed a number of times with little more than a slight discoloration and in the case of polyethylene some deterioration in electrical insulation properties. 

In recent years general purpose polystyrene and high-impact polystyrenes have had to face intensive competition from other materials, particularly polypropylene, which has been available in recent years at what may best be described as an abnormally low price. Whilst polystyrene has lost some of it markets it has generally enjoyed increasing consumption and the more pessimistic predictions of a decline have as yet failed to materialise. Today about 75% of these materials are injection moulded whilst the rest is extruded and/or thermoformed. 

Example 2.20 A cylindrical vessel with an outside radius of 20 mm and an inside radius of 12 mm has a radial crack 3.5 mm deep on the outside surface. If the vessel is made from polystyrene which has a critical stress intensity factor of 1.0 MN calculate the maximum permissible pressure in this vessel. 

Conjugated boron polymers containing platimnn or palladium atom in the main chain were also prepared by hydroboration polymerization between tetrayne/ metal complex monomers and tripylborane (scheme 16).30 From gel permeation chromatographic analysis [THF, polystyrene (PSt) standards], the number-average molecular weights of the polymers obtained were found to be 9000. The polymers were soluble in common organic solvents such as THF, chloroform, and benzene. The absorption peaks due to tt-tt transition were observed around 390 nm in the UV-vis spectra of these polymers. The fluorescence emission spectra exhibited intense peaks at 490 nm in chloroform. 

With increasing concentration of DHB, the photoproduct forms more slowly, as evidenced by decreasing loss of fluorescence intensity (Table I, entries 1-3). Nevertheless, the concentration of photoproduct(s) and RET from the polymer to photoproduct(s) are expected to increase with time, and stabilization of the polymer will eventually depend upon the capability of the photoproduct(s) to dissipate excitation energy imparted in the RET process. The observed decrease in stabilization efficiency by DHB (based on film discoloration) with exposure time in an accelerometer indicates that DHB is more effective than the photoproduct(s) in dissipating the light energy. Similar spectroscopic studies on polystyrene have led to the same conclusion in this case, as well.6... 

Many common polymers, polymeric additives and lubricants oxidise so rapidly after impact in liquid oxygen that they are hazardous. Of those tested, only acrylonitrile-butadiene, poly(cyanoethylsiloxane), poly(dimethylsiloxane) and polystyrene exploded after impact of 6.8-95 J intensity (5-70 ft.lbf). All plasticisers (except dibutyl sebacate) and antioxidants examined were very reactive. A theoretical treatment of rates of energy absorption and transfer is included [1], Previously, many resins and lubricants had been examined similarly, and 35 were found acceptable in liquid oxygen systems [2],...

The microspheres—synthesised via a two-step process (acid-catalysed hydrolysis and condensation of 3-mercaptopropyltrimethoxysilane (MPS) in aqueous solution, followed by condensation catalysed by triethanolamine)—have a narrow size distribution (Figure 5.16) and are considerably more stable than polystyrene divinylbenzene microspheres as shown in phosphoramidite oligonucleotide synthesis by the excellent retention of fluorescence intensity in each of the reagent steps involved in phosphoramidite DNA synthesis (Figure 5.17, in which the organo-silica microsphere free thiol groups are derivatized with ATTO 550 maleimide coupled to the entrapped dye).
