In addition to the part it plays in the structure of the fibers themselves, H bonding has a role of varying magnitude in determining the physical properties of products made from the fibers. Among these products we will discuss only paper, cloth, and leather. 

Higher molecular weight of polyethylene often improves the physical properties of products (though, see below). However, increasing of the molecular weight, hence, the viscosity of the polymer, usually increases the extrusion pressure and torque on... 

It should be mentioned that the relationships between average molecular weights, MWD, and the power-law index of the respective polymer melts are not clear and completely unexplored in case of wood-filled composites. For example, increasing viscosity does not always improve physical properties of products. It was found that the increase of MFI of polypropylene from 3 to 30 g/10 min did not alter the efficiency of wood fiber dispersion and did not result in an improvement of any measured property of WPC. On the contrary, a change of MFI for HDPE from 0.15 to 7.0 led to better wetting of wood fiber and superior mechanical properties of the WPC. 

Chapter 3 discusses polymer chain shapes and packing in both crystalline and amorphous forms, while Chapter 6 explains the effect of polymer processing on the microstructure on a millimetre length scale. You should be able to synthesise these views, and use models on appropriate scales to explain the mechanical and physical properties of products. 

Normally absent or in trace amounts in crude oil, products of conversion processes such as diolefins, acetylenes, etc., are encountered. Table 1.4 gives the physical properties of some of them. Noteworthy is 1-3 butadienerC ( l)... 

Knowledge of physical properties of fluids is essential to the process engineer because it enables him to specify, size or verify the operation of equipment in a production unit. The objective of this chapter is to present a collection of methods used in the calculation of physical properties of mixtures encountered in the petroleum industry, different kinds of hydrocarbon components, and some pure compounds. 

Both 2-hydroxythiazoie and 2-mercaptothiazoIe have been studied to determine the position of the protomeric equilibrium 43 7 43a 43b (Scheme 17). Most studies indicate that form 43a is largely predominant in neutral solution for X = 0 and X=S (52-56, 887, 891). The basic principle is to compare a physical property of the investigated product with that of a model representative of each protomeric form. The similarity of physicochemical properties between the product and one of the model compounds is taken as evidence for the position of the protomeric equilibrium. The limits of such an approach have been discussed in detail elsewhere (57). 

Some of the physical properties of fatty acid nitriles are Hsted in Table 14 (see also Carboxylic acids). Eatty acid nitriles are produced as intermediates for a large variety of amines and amides. Estimated U.S. production capacity (1980) was >140, 000 t/yr. Eatty acid nitriles are produced from the corresponding acids by a catalytic reaction with ammonia in the Hquid phase. They have Httie use other than as intermediates but could have some utility as surfactants (qv), mst inhibitors, and plastici2ers (qv). 

Standard test methods for chemical analysis have been developed and pubUshed (74). Included is the determination of commonly found chemicals associated with acrylonitrile and physical properties of acrylonitrile that are critical to the quaUty of the product (75—77). These include determination of color and chemical analyses for HCN, quiaone inhibitor, and water. Specifications appear in Table 10. 

There are two major producers of SAN resin in the United States, Monsanto Chemical Company and The Dow Chemical Company, which market these materials under the names of Lustran and Tydl, respectively. Some typical physical properties of these have been shown in Table 1. Production figures for SAN and ABS for the 1980s are shown in Table 6 (148). 

Emulsion Adhesives. The most widely used emulsion-based adhesive is that based upon poly(vinyl acetate)—poly(vinyl alcohol) copolymers formed by free-radical polymerization in an emulsion system. Poly(vinyl alcohol) is typically formed by hydrolysis of the poly(vinyl acetate). The properties of the emulsion are derived from the polymer employed in the polymerization as weU as from the system used to emulsify the polymer in water. The emulsion is stabilized by a combination of a surfactant plus a coUoid protection system. The protective coUoids are similar to those used paint (qv) to stabilize latex. For poly(vinyl acetate), the protective coUoids are isolated from natural gums and ceUulosic resins (carboxymethylceUulose or hydroxyethjdceUulose). The hydroHzed polymer may also be used. The physical properties of the poly(vinyl acetate) polymer can be modified by changing the co-monomer used in the polymerization. Any material which is free-radically active and participates in an emulsion polymerization can be employed. Plasticizers (qv), tackifiers, viscosity modifiers, solvents (added to coalesce the emulsion particles), fillers, humectants, and other materials are often added to the adhesive to meet specifications for the intended appHcation. Because the presence of foam in the bond line could decrease performance of the adhesion joint, agents that control the amount of air entrapped in an adhesive bond must be added. Biocides are also necessary many of the materials that are used to stabilize poly(vinyl acetate) emulsions are natural products. Poly(vinyl acetate) adhesives known as "white glue" or "carpenter s glue" are available under a number of different trade names. AppHcations are found mosdy in the area of adhesion to paper and wood (see Vinyl polymers). 

Modified ETEE is less dense, tougher, and stiffer and exhibits a higher tensile strength and creep resistance than PTEE, PEA, or EEP resins. It is ductile, and displays in various compositions the characteristic of a nonlinear stress—strain relationship. Typical physical properties of Tef2el products are shown in Table 1 (24,25). Properties such as elongation and flex life depend on crystallinity, which is affected by the rate of crysta11i2ation values depend on fabrication conditions and melt cooling rates. 

Physical Properties. Physical properties of waste as fuels are defined in accordance with the specific materials under consideration. The greatest degree of definition exists for wood and related biofuels. The least degree of definition exists for MSW, related RDF products, and the broad array of ha2ardous wastes. Table 3 compares the physical property data of some representative combustible wastes with the traditional fossil fuel bituminous coal. The soHd organic wastes typically have specific gravities or bulk densities much lower than those associated with coal and lignite. 

Aluminum hydroxide gel may be prepared by a number of methods. The products vary widely in viscosity, particle size, and rate of solution. Such factors as degree of supersaturation, pH during precipitation, temperature, and nature and concentration of by-products present affect the physical properties of the gel. 

Most hafnium compounds have been of slight commercial interest aside from intermediates in the production of hafnium metal. However, hafnium oxide, hafnium carbide, and hafnium nitride are quite refractory and have received considerable study as the most refractory compounds of the Group 4 (IVB) elements. Physical properties of some of the hafnium compounds are shown in Table 4. 

Commercial Stabilizers. There is a great variety of commercial formulations utilizing the mixture of the alkaU and alkaline-earth metal salts and soaps. In many cases, products are custom formulated to meet the needs of a particular appHcation or customer. The acidic ligands used ia these products vary widely and have dramatic effects on the physical properties of the PVC formulations. The choice of ligands can affect the heat stabiHty, rheology, lubricity, plate-out tendency, clarity, heat sealabiHty, and electrical and mechanical properties of the final products. No single representative formulation can cover the variety of PVC appHcations where these stabilizers are used. 

Dibasic Acid Esters. Dibasic acid esters (diesters) are prepared by the reaction of a dibasic acid with an alcohol that contains one reactive hydroxyl group (see Esters, organic). The backbone of the stmcture is formed by the acid. The alcohol radicals are joined to the ends of the acid. The physical properties of the final product can be varied by using different alcohols or acids. Compounds that are typically used are adipic, azelaic, and sebacic acids and 2-ethyIhexyl, 3,5,5-trimethyIhexyl, isodecyl, and tridecyl alcohols. 

In general, LPG specifications involve limits for physical properties. Consequentiy, the composition of the commercial-grade products varies between wide limits. Physical properties of the principal components of LPG are summarized in Table 1 (1).
