The protonated form of poly(vinyl amine) (PVAm—HCl) has two advantages over many cationic polymers high cationic charge densities are possible and the pendent primary amines have high reactivity. It has been appHed in water treatment, paper making, and textiles (qv). The protonated forms modified with low molecular weight aldehydes are usehil as fines and filler retention agents and are in use with recycled fibers. As with all new products, unexpected appHcations, such as in clear antiperspirants, have been found. It is usehil in many metal complexation appHcations (49). 

Cellulosics. CeUulosic adhesives are obtained by modification of cellulose [9004-34-6] (qv) which comes from cotton linters and wood pulp. Cellulose can be nitrated to provide cellulose nitrate [9004-70-0] which is soluble in organic solvents. When cellulose nitrate is dissolved in amyl acetate [628-63-7] for example, a general purpose solvent-based adhesive which is both waterproof and flexible is formed. Cellulose esterification leads to materials such as cellulose acetate [9004-35-7], which has been used as a pressure-sensitive adhesive tape backing. Cellulose can also be ethoxylated, providing hydroxyethylceUulose which is useful as a thickening agent for poly(vinyl acetate) emulsion adhesives. Etherification leads to materials such as methylceUulose [9004-67-5] which are soluble in water and can be modified with glyceral [56-81-5] to produce adhesives used as wallpaper paste (see Cellulose esters Cellulose ethers). 

Poly(vinyl chloride). To be converted into film, poly(viayl chloride) [9002-86-22] (PVC) must be modified with heat stabilizers and plasticizers, which increase costs. Plasticized PVC film is highly transparent and soft, with a very high gas-permeation rate. Water-vapor transmission rate is relatively low. At present, PVC film is produced by blown-film extmsion, although casting and calendering are employed for heavier gauges (see Vinyl POLYAffiRS). 

Heat resistance is an important characteristic of the bond. The strength of typical abrasive stmctures is tested at RT and at 300°C. Flexural strengths are between 24.1 and 34.4 MPa (3500—5000 psi). An unmodified phenoHc resin bond loses about one-third of its room temperature strength at 298°C. Novolak phenoHc resins are used almost exclusively because these offer heat resistance and because the moisture given off during the cure of resole resins results in undesirable porosity. Some novolaks modified with epoxy or poly(vinyl butyral) resin are used for softer grinding action. 

Most polyesters (qv) are based on phthalates. They are referred to as aromatic-aHphatic or aromatic according to the copolymerized diol. Thus poly(ethylene terephthalate) [25038-59-9] (PET), poly(butyelene terephthalate) [24968-12-5] (PBT), and related polymers are termed aromatic-aHphatic polyester resins, whereas poly(bisphenol A phthalate)s are called aromatic polyester resins or polyarylates PET and PBT resins are the largest volume aromatic-aHphatic products. Other aromatic-aHphatic polyesters (65) include Eastman Kodak s Kodar resin, which is a PET resin modified with isophthalate and dimethylolcyclohexane. Polyarylate resins are lower volume specialty resins for high temperature (HDT) end uses (see HeaT-RESISTANT POLYAffiRS). 

Porous glass (PG) modified with covalently adsorbed poly(p-nitrophenyl acrylate), as described in Sect. 4.1, turned out to be a highly suitable carrier for immobilization of various biospecific ligands and enzymes. When the residual active ester groups of the carrier were blocked by ethanolamine, the immobilized ligands when bound to the solid support via hydrophilic and flexible poly(2-hydroxyethyl acrylamide). The effective biospecific binding provided by the ligands... 

PAs have also been copolymerized with other polymer systems and, in particular", with polyesters and poly ethers. In the copoly esteramides the crystallinity is decreased by copolymerization, as the crystalline structure of the amide unit is very different from the ester unit. However, alternating polyesteramides behave as homopolymers with a glass ttansition temperature and a melting temperature intermediate to the polyester and the PA polymer (Figs. 3.10 and 3.11).23,24 Polyesters, such as PBT and PET, modified with a small amount of diamide are also copolymers that have a high order.24,73... 

Finally, ion chromatography can be used to determine the a-sulfo fatty acid esters. The chromatographic column is a nonpolar poly sty rene/divinylbenzene column and the ion pair reagent is 0.005 M ammonia. In order to reduce the elution time, acetonitrile is added as a modifier with increasing concentration. This gradient technique makes it possible to separate simultaneously ester sulfonates and disalts by chain length. Determination is achieved by standards with defined chain length [107]. 

The use of ordered supramolecular assemblies, such as micelles, monolayers, vesicles, inverted micelles, and lyotropic liquid crystalline systems, allows for the controlled nucleation of inorganic materials on molecular templates with well-defined structure and surface chemistry. Poly(propyleneimine) dendrimers modified with long aliphatic chains are a new class of amphiphiles which display a variety of aggregation states due to their conformational flexibility [38]. In the presence of octadecylamine, poly(propyleneimine) dendrimers modified with long alkyl chains self-assemble to form remarkably rigid and well-defined aggregates. When the aggregate dispersion was injected into a supersaturated...
