The most widely used synthetic rubber is styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) (Fig. 1). Other commonly used elastomers are polybutadiene, polyethylene-propylene, butyl rubber, neoprene, nitrile rubbers, and polyisoprene. 

There is a limited number of polymers for which narrow MWD standards are commercially available polystyrene, poly(methyl methacrylate), poly(a-methyl styrene), polyisoprene, polybutadiene, polyethylene, poly(dimethyl siloxane), polyethyleneoxide, pullulan, dextran, polystyrene sulfonate sodium salt, and globular proteins. In some cases, the standards available cover a limited molecular weight range, so it may be impossible to construct the calibration curve over the complete column pore volume.

The most important polyolefins (Table 5.3.11) are the different polyethylene qualities, polypropylene, and polybutadienes. Polyethylene is by volume the most important polymer. Therefore, its production has been chosen as a process example (Section 6.20).

A large number of polymeric compounds have been investigated, but most modem propellants utilize prepolymers that ate hydroxy-functional polybutadienes (HTPB), carboxy-functional polybutadienes (CTPB), or a family of polyethylene oxides (PEGs) to form urethanes. Typical cure reactions... 

Degradation of polyolefins such as polyethylene, polypropylene, polybutylene, and polybutadiene promoted by metals and other oxidants occurs via an oxidation and a photo-oxidative mechanism, the two being difficult to separate in environmental degradation. The general mechanism common to all these reactions is that shown in equation 9. The reactant radical may be produced by any suitable mechanism from the interaction of air or oxygen with polyolefins (42) to form peroxides, which are subsequentiy decomposed by ultraviolet radiation. These reaction intermediates abstract more hydrogen atoms from the polymer backbone, which is ultimately converted into a polymer with ketone functionahties and degraded by the Norrish mechanisms (eq. 

Carbon Cha.in Backbone Polymers. These polymers may be represented by (4) and considered derivatives of polyethylene, where n is the degree of polymeriza tion and R is (an alkyl group or) a functional group hydrogen (polyethylene), methyl (polypropylene), carboxyl (poly(acryhc acid)), chlorine (poly(vinyl chloride)), phenyl (polystyrene) hydroxyl (poly(vinyl alcohol)), ester (poly(vinyl acetate)), nitrile (polyacrylonitrile), vinyl (polybutadiene), etc. The functional groups and the molecular weight of the polymers, control thek properties which vary in hydrophobicity, solubiUty characteristics, glass-transition temperature, and crystallinity. 

Triisopropan olamine is used in natural mbber cross-linking and as a color stabilizer for polyethylene formulations. Chain termination of polybutadiene with triisopropan olamine gives improved cold-flow properties. 

Pubhcations on curing polymers with TAIC include TEE—propylene copolymer (135), TEE—propylene—perfluoroaHyl ether (136), ethylene—chlorotrifluoroethylene copolymers (137), polyethylene (138), ethylene—vinyl acetate copolymers (139), polybutadienes (140), PVC (141), polyamide (142), polyester (143), poly(ethylene terephthalate) (144), sdoxane elastomers (145), maleimide polymers (146), and polyimide esters (147). 

Polybutadiene and polyunsaturated fats, which contain aHyUc hydrogen atoms, oxidize more readily than polypropylene, which contains tertiary hydrogen atoms. A linear hydrocarbon such as polyethylene, which has secondary hydrogens, is the most stable of these substrates.

Prior to butyl mbber, the known natural and synthetic elastomers had reactive sites at every monomer unit. Unlike natural mbber, polychloroprene, and polybutadiene, butyl mbber had widely spaced olefin sites with aHyUc hydrogens. This led to the principle of limited functionahty synthetic elastomers that was later appHed to other synthetic elastomers, eg, chlorosulfonated polyethylene, siUcone mbber, and ethylene—propylene terpolymers. 

There are several approaches to the preparation of multicomponent materials, and the method utilized depends largely on the nature of the conductor used. In the case of polyacetylene blends, in situ polymerization of acetylene into a polymeric matrix has been a successful technique. A film of the matrix polymer is initially swelled in a solution of a typical Ziegler-Natta type initiator and, after washing, the impregnated swollen matrix is exposed to acetylene gas. Polymerization occurs as acetylene diffuses into the membrane. The composite material is then oxidatively doped to form a conductor. Low density polyethylene (136,137) and polybutadiene (138) have both been used in this manner. 

Inclusion of double bonds will stiffen the chain at the point of inclusion but at the same time may increase the flexibility of adjacent bonds. The net effect may therefore be to reduce the glass transition temperature and this appears to occur in 1,4-polybutadiene when compared with polyethylene.
