Internal decomposition block

The individual graphitic layers are the basic building blocks of carbon black particles. The morphology and particle size distribution of carbon black is dependent on the source material and the process of its thermal decomposition. Particle size and distribution determine directly the specific surface area (SSA) which is one of the most important properties of carbon black for fuel cell applications. High surface area (ranging from a few hundreds to 2000-3000m2 g-1) carbon blacks suitable for fuel cell applications can be obtained from Cabot Corporation (Vulcan XC-72R, Black Pearls BP 2000), Ketjen Black International, Chevron (Shawinigan), Erachem and Denka. [Pg.395]

A common technique of preparing block copolymers is the introduction of peroxide groups into the polymer backbone or as stable end groups. The polymers are then mixed with fresh monomer, and the peroxide groups are decomposed under appropriate conditions to yield block copolymers. For example, polymeric phthaloyl peroxide was polymerized to a limited extent with styrene. The resulting polymer was mixed with methyl methacrylate. On decomposition, the internal and terminal peroxide groups formed radicals that initiated the polymerization of methyl methacrylate, as shown below in Equation 5.11. [Pg.146]

To produce block copolymers by free-radical polymerization, a radical center must be produced at the end of the chain from where fresh chain growth may take place. Two of the ways by which such terminal radicals can be produced are (a) decomposition of peroxide groups introduced as an internal part of a polymer chain backbone or as an end group and (b) breaking of C-C bonds in the polymer chain by mechanical means. More recently, the advent of hving or controlled free radical polymerization has opened up a more versatile route to block copolymers by the free radical process. [Pg.421]

It is likely that the decomposition of these compounds occurred in the open tubular column injection accessory rather than in the column. Contact of the gaseous complexes with heated stainless steel is prolonged in the injection block. Decomposition on the column is unlikely because the retention times were reproducible under a given set of conditions, and because the column was internally coated with powdered quartz and stationary phase. [Pg.502]

Pressure build-up in an inappropriately chosen pan is a frequent cause of difficulties. It is important to determine whether the sample needs to be rim in a hermetically sealed pan or not dry samples imhkely to evolve significant amounts of volatiles below decomposition do not need to be sealed. Yet if run in a hermetically sealed pan then pressure will build up inside the pan as it is heated. Many hermetically sealed aluminium pans cannot withstand high internal pressure and will deform (not necessarily visible) and result in potential artefacts in the trace as heat transfer to the sample changes. Ultimately sample leakage and bursting can occur, which usually results in contamination of the analyser. The best solution for such systems is to work with crimped pans that do not seal, or use hds with holes in. If not available then it may be best to pierce the pan hd before encapsulation so that pressure does not build up. Sometimes one hole will block with sample (particularly if a hole is made after loading the sample) and back pressure will force sample out of the pan giving more artefacts, so it is better to have more than one hole in the lid. [Pg.6]
