Commonly used isocyanates are toluene dhsocyanate, methylene diphenyl isocyanate, and polymeric isocyanates. Polyols used are macroglycols based on either polyester or polyether. The former [poly(ethylene phthalate) or poly(ethylene 1,6-hexanedioate)] have hydroxyl groups that are free to react with the isocyanate. Most flexible foam is made from 80/20 toluene dhsocyanate (which refers to the ratio of 2,4-toluene dhsocyanate to 2,6-toluene dhsocyanate). High-resilience foam contains about 80% 80/20 toluene dhsocyanate and 20% poly(methylene diphenyl isocyanate), while semi-flexible foam is almost always 100% poly(methylene diphenyl isocyanate). Much of the latter reacts by trimerization to form isocyanurate rings. 

Membranes and Osmosis. Membranes based on PEI can be used for the dehydration of organic solvents such as 2-propanol, methyl ethyl ketone, and toluene (451), and for concentrating seawater (452—454). On exposure to ultrasound waves, aqueous PEI salt solutions and brominated poly(2,6-dimethylphenylene oxide) form stable emulsions from which it is possible to cast membranes in which submicrometer capsules of the salt solution ate embedded (455). The rate of release of the salt solution can be altered by surface—active substances. In membranes, PEI can act as a proton source in the generation of a photocurrent (456). The formation of a PEI coating on ion-exchange membranes modifies the transport properties and results in permanent selectivity of the membrane (457). The electrochemical testing of salts (458) is another possible appHcation of PEI. 

A modified ZSM-5 catalyst has a unique shape-selective property for producing -ethyltoluene [622-96-8] selectively by the alkylation of toluene [108-88-3] with ethylene (54). j )-Ethyltoluene is an intermediate in the production of poly -methylstyrene) [24936-41-2] (PPMS), which is reported to have... 

Polymer Solvent. Sulfolane is a solvent for a variety of polymers, including polyacrylonitrile (PAN), poly(vinyhdene cyanide), poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC), poly(vinyl fluoride), and polysulfones (124—129). Sulfolane solutions of PAN, poly(vinyhdene cyanide), and PVC have been patented for fiber-spinning processes, in which the relatively low solution viscosity, good thermal stabiUty, and comparatively low solvent toxicity of sulfolane are advantageous. Powdered perfluorocarbon copolymers bearing sulfo or carboxy groups have been prepared by precipitation from sulfolane solution with toluene at temperatures below 300°C. Particle sizes of 0.5—100 p.m result. 

Poly(phenylene ether) Alloys. Poly(phenylene ether) resins (91), composed of phenoHc monomers, have a very high T. The commercial resins are based on 2,6-dimethylphenol. The resin is produced by oxidative polymerization in toluene solution over an amine catalyst (see also PoLYETPiERS, aromatic). 

The solubility of commercial poly(methyl methacrylate) is consistent with that expected of an amorphous thermoplastic with a solubility parameter of about 18.8 MPa. Solvents include ethyl acetate (8 = 18.6), ethylene dichloride (8 = 20.0), trichloroethylene (8 = 19), chloroform (8 = 19) and toluene (8 = 20), all in units ofMPa. Difficulties may, however, occur in dissolving cast poly(methyl methacrylate) sheet because of its high molecular weight. 

The nuclear substituted methyl styrenes have been the subject of much study and of these poly(vinyl toluene) (i.e. polymers of m- and /7-methylstyrenes) has found use in surface coatings. The Vicat softening point of some nuclear substituted methyl styrenes in given in Table 16.8. 

Monodispersed poly (methyl methacrylate-ethyleneglycol dimethacrylate) is prepared by a multistep swelling and polymerization method. When a good solvent such as toluene is applied as a porogen, the seed polymer severely affects the pore structure, whereas no effects are observed with poor solvents, such as cyclohexanol, as a porogen, in comparison with the conventional suspension polymerization (68,69). 

Poly[2,5-dialkoxy-l,4-phenylene) vinylenejs with long solubilizing alkoxy chains dissolve in conventional organic solvents such as chloroform, toluene, or tetrahydrofuran [21, 28, 32-36]. Their emission and absorption spectra are red-shifted relative to PPV itself, and the polymers fluorescence and electroluminescence quantum yields are greater than parent PPV. This benefit may be a consequence of the long alkyl chains isolating the polymer chains from each other. 

PUR are a broad class of highly cross-linked plastics prepared by multiple additions of poly-functional hydroxyl or amino compounds. Typical reactants are polyisocyanates [toluene diisocyanate (TDI)] and polyhydroxyl molecules such as polyols, glycols, polyesters, and polyethers. The cyanate group can also combine with water this reaction is the basis for hardening of the one-part foam formulations. 

PCSs obtained by dehydrochlorination of poly(2-dilorovinyl methyl ketones) catalyze the processes of oxidation and dehydrogenation of alcohols, and the toluene oxidation207. The products of the thermal transformation of PAN are also catalysts for the decomposition of nitrous oxide, for the dehydrogenation of alcohols and cyclohexene274, and for the cis-tnms isomerization of olefins275. Catalytic activity in the decomposition reactions of hydrazine, formic acid, and hydrogen peroxide is also manifested by the products of FVC dehydrochlorination... 

Figure 7 shows the results of measurements of adsorption density by Parsonage, etal. [77] on a series of eighteen block copolymers, with poly(2-vinylpyridine) [PVP] anchors and polystyrene [PS] buoys, adsorbed from toluene (selective for PS) of variable molecular weight in each block. The results are presented as the reciprocal square of Eq. 28, that is, as a dimensionless number density of chains ct (d/Rg A)-2. For all but the copolymers of highest asymmetry, Eq. 28 is in good agreement with the data of Fig. 7. The high asymmetry copolymers are in the regime of the data of curves (a) and (c) of Fig. 3 where the large relative size...

Dediazoniation of three o-substituted benzenediazonium salts in pyridinium poly(hydrogen fluoride) yields different products depending on the substituent, as Olah and Welch (1975) have found. The 2-methyl derivative gives 2-fluoro-toluene. With the 2-nitrobenzenediazonium ion the main product is 3-nitrofluoro-benzene, the 2-isomer being formed only in small quantities. Finally, the 2-tri-fluoromethyl derivative yields all three isomeric trifluoromethylfluorobenzenes.
