Plasticizer metal carboxylates

Erdi and Morawetz (8) attempted to overcome this problem by incorporating ionic groups into PS in the form of metal carboxylate-containing comonomers. When they plasticized the PS phase in these systems, they observed only a very weak physically bonded network of no substantial strength. However, the availability of these metal-sulfonated ionomers coupled with the inherently stronger associations of the metal sulfonates offer a more attractive system to test this hypothesis. Therefore, plasticized S-PS samples of varying sulfonate level were blended with DOP... 

The data thus far have shown that S-PS can be plasticized effectively with respect to backbone and ionic domain plasticizers. By appropriate choice of the plasticizer type either the PS backbone or the ionic domains can be plasticized preferentially. By appropriate control of the metal sulfonate content and the polarity of the plasticizer used, flexible S-PS compositions possessing useful tensile properties are feasible. While this approach has substantial merit, it is apparent that simply increasing the level of a phthalate plasticizer to improve melt flow results in a substantial decrease in useful tensile properties. It would be desirable to use a given level of backbone plasticizer and adjust the melt flow of the entire composition by independently plasticizing the ionic domains. One approach to achieve this objective has been described in the plasticization of ionic groups in metal-sulfonated ethylene propylene terpolymers (9). In those systems, the incorporation of metal carboxylates as plasticizers can improve both flow behavior and tensile properties. It is of interest to determine if this class of plasticizers can be combined with the phthalate plasticizers used for the S-PS backbone to provide an improved balance of flow behavior and tensile properties for S-PS s.

Copolymers wet and adhere well to nonporous surfaces, such as plastics and metals. They form soft, flexible films, in contrast to the tough, horny films formed by homopolymers, and are more water-resistant. As the ratio of comonomer to vinyl acetate increases, the variety of plastics to which the copolymer adheres also increases. Comonomers containing functional groups often adhere to specific surfaces for example, carboxyl containing polymers adhere well to metals. 

Elastomers, plastics, fabrics, wood and metals can be joined with themselves and with each other using nitrile rubber/epoxy resin blends cured with amines and/or acidic agents. Ethylene-propylene vulcanizates can also be joined using blends of carboxylated nitrile rubber, epoxy resin and a reactive metal filler (copper, nickel, cobalt). However, one of the largest areas of use of nitrile rubber modified epoxy systems is in the printed circuit board area [12]. 

The sensor reported by Shirai(69) used a natural carboxylic polyether antibiotic (Aem = 481 nm) for the detection of magnesium and calcium. Detection limits of I0 5 and KT4 M, respectively, were reported but, interference from other metals was difficult to overcome. Ishibashi(69) used a bulkier hexadecyl-acridine orange dye (Xem = 525 nm) plasticized in a PVC membrane for the fluorescent detection of ammonium ions. Signal interference due to superfluous ions and poor detection limits of KT5 M restricted the use of the probe. 

Film and foil adhesives based on internally plasticized copolymer adhesives have been suggested. For instance, vinyl acetate—ethylene or vinyl acetate—acrylate copolymers may be used for adhesion of films to porous surfaces. For metallic foil adhesion, copolymers containing carboxylate functionality are suggested. 

The survey of the investigations and results covers the release of water from salts and hydroxides, the calcination of carbonates and oxalates, the reactions of metallic oxides and carbonates with SO2, and reactions on the surface of carbon. The application of the non-isothermal method to the thermal decomposition of carboxylic acids and polymeric plastics as well as to the pyrolyses of natural substances, in particular bituminous coal, is explained. Finally, chemical reactions in a liquid phase, the desorption of gases from solids, annihilation processes in disturbed crystal lattices and the emission of exo-electrons from metallic surfaces are discussed.
