Poly methyl lubrication

Siloxane containing interpenetrating networks (IPN) have also been synthesized and some properties were reported 59,354 356>. However, they have not received much attention. Preparation and characterization of IPNs based on PDMS-polystyrene 354), PDMS-poly(methyl methacrylate) 354), polysiloxane-epoxy systems 355) and PDMS-polyurethane 356) were described. These materials all displayed two-phase morphologies, but only minor improvements were obtained over the physical and mechanical properties of the parent materials. This may be due to the difficulties encountered in controlling the structure and morphology of these IPN systems. Siloxane modified polyamide, polyester, polyolefin and various polyurethane based IPN materials are commercially available 59). Incorporation of siloxanes into these systems was reported to increase the hydrolytic stability, surface release, electrical properties of the base polymers and also to reduce the surface wear and friction due to the lubricating action of PDMS chains 59). 

Several workers have proposed new combinations of materials in an attempt to overcome wear. Studies involving polyimides, polyamide-imides, and poly-tetrafluoroethylene-filled polyoxymethylene demonstrated that although wear characteristics were good in dry conditions, the presence of lubricants (blood plasma, water) decreased the wear resistance. Results obtained with reinforcing materials such as carbon fibre and with an aluminium oxide ceramic ball used in conjunction with a polyethylene socket have been presented, Examples of other types of reconstructive surgery involving hard tissue replacement are the use of poly(methyl methacrylate) in chest wall reconstruction and repair of depressed skull fractures, the repair of major crano-orbital defects with the aid of a polyurethane-coated poly(ethylene terephthalate) mesh, and the use of silicone rubber in total finger joint and carpal bone replacement.

Poly(methyl methacrylate) is by far the predominant polymethacrylate in use in rigid applications, mainly because of its relatively high softening point and strength. However, a few other polymethacrylates have found limited commercial utilization. The n-butyl, n-octyl and n-nonyl esters are used as leather finishes and poly(lauryl methacrylate) is used to depress the pour-point and improve viscosity-temperature characteristics of lubricating oils. 

The main application of these polymers is related to their capability of undergoing polymerization by photochemical irradiation. They are used as coatings, the polymerization of di- and tetravalent mixtures of comonomers being initiated by irradiation. Alkylvinyl ether homopolymers have a Tg lower than ambient and, generally, they are not used as structural materials. They are used in mixtures, in the field of adhesives, as additives for thermoplastics, as lubricants and as elastomers. The most important is poly(methyl vinyl ether). 

Selectivity control is again of primary importance in the production of petrochemicals, for example the propylene dimer 4-methyl-1-pentene is a monomer for the production of the speciality polymer poly(4-methyl-l-pentene) and linear a-olefins are required for the production of biodegradable detergents and synthetic lubricants.

The Shell higher olefin process (SHOP process) is an example for ethenolysis on an industrial scale. From the ethenolysis of an oleic double bond such as in tall oil fatty acid methyl ester using a Grubbs catalyst methyl-9-decenoate and 1-decene are formed (Figure 3B.15) key intermediates in the synthesis of flavors and fragrances, insect pheromones as environmentally friendly alternatives to pesticides, and prostaglandins on the one side and poly-a-olefins as lubricant base stock on the other. ...
