Polyester. Poly(ethylene terephthalate) [25038-59-9] (PET) polyester film has intermediate gas- and water- vapor barrier properties, very high tensile and impact strengths, and high temperature resistance (see Polyesters, thermoplastic). AppHcations include use as an outer web in laminations to protect aluminum foil. It is coated with PVDC to function as the flat or sealing web for vacuum/gas flush packaged processed meat, cheese, or fresh pasta. 

In other areas, POD has been used to improve the wear resistance of a mbber latex binder by incorporation of 25% of Oksalon fibers. Heat-resistant laminate films, made by coating a polyester film with POD, have been used as electrical insulators and show good resistance to abrasion and are capable of 126% elongation. In some instances, thin sheets of PODs have been used as mold release agents. For this appHcation a resin is placed between the two sheets of POD, which is then pressed in a mold, and the sheets simply peel off from the object and mold after the resin has cured. POD-based membranes exhibit salt rejection properties and hence find potential as reverse osmosis membranes in the purification of seawater. PODs have also been used in the manufacturing of electrophotographic plates as binders between the toner and plate. These improved binders produce sharper images than were possible before. 

Microcapsules are used in several film coatings other than carbonless paper. Encapsulated Hquid crystal formulations coated on polyester film are used to produce a variety of display products including thermometers. Polyester film coated with capsules loaded with leuco dyes analogous to those used in carbonless copy paper is used as a means of measuring line and force pressures (79). Encapsulated deodorants that release their core contents as a function of moisture developed because of sweating represent another commercial appHcation. Microcapsules are incorporated in several cosmetic creams, powders, and cleansing products (80). 

Polyester film consumes 7% of production. When coated with a chemical emulsion, it is used as x-ray and microfilm when coated with a magnetic emulsion, it is used for audio and video tapes and when coated with an adhesive, it is used for wrapping and sealing tapes (see Films and sheeting). 

Sihcone products dominate the pressure-sensitive adhesive release paper market, but other materials such as Quilon (E.I. du Pont de Nemours Co., Inc.), a Werner-type chromium complex, stearato chromic chloride [12768-56-8] are also used. Various base papers are used, including polyethylene-coated kraft as well as polymer substrates such as polyethylene or polyester film. Sihcone coatings that cross-link to form a film and also bond to the cellulose are used in various forms, such as solvent and solventless dispersions and emulsions. Technical requirements for the coated papers include good release, no contamination of the adhesive being protected, no blocking in roUs, good solvent holdout with respect to adhesives appHed from solvent, and good thermal and dimensional stabiUty (see Silicon COMPOUNDS, silicones).

BR and PIB are used for adhesion of several substrates including nonporous and difficult to adhere materials (e.g. polyolefins). Other common substrates are PVC, polyester film and paper. 

Capacitor There are several applications for plastics in electrical devices that use the intrinsic characteristics of the plastics for the effect on the electrical circuit. The most obvious of these is the use of plastics particularly in the form of thin films as the dielectric in capacitors. TP polyester films such as Mylar are especially useful for this type of application because of the high dielectric strength in conjunction with a good dielectric constant. 

For this case, which is the fairly common situation of a biaxially oriented film, it is therefore necessary to obtain a total of thirteen second and fourth order coefficients. Later, results for polyester films will be discussed, where seven of these thirteen coefficients have been determined experimentally. 

The global activities of DuPont Films are discussed with reference to commercial strategies for profitable growth and by the integration of business and environmental initiatives. The Petretec chemical recycling process for polyester film is briefly described, and details are included of investments. 

Immobilization of (3-D-glucosidase from almonds on photo-crosslinkable resin prepolymer (ENTP-4000) was carried out by the following procedure. One gram of ENTP-4000 was mixed with 10 mg of a photosensitizer, benzoin ethyl ether, and 110 mg of (3-D-glucosidase from almonds (3.4 units mg ). The mixture was layered on a sheet of transparent polyester film (thickness, ca. 0.5 mm). The layer was covered with transparent thin film and then illuminated with chemical lamps (wavelength range 300 00 nm) for 3 min. The gel film thus obtained was cut into small pieces (0.5 x 5 x 5 mm) and used for bioconversion reaction. 

Ultrathin-layer isoelectric focusing in polyacrylamide gels on polyester films was performed as described (Radola, 1980). Polygalacturonase activity was detected by the print technique with a dyed substrate (Ostazin Brilliant Red-D-galacturonan DP 10) (Markovic et al., 1992) or by the print technique with colouress D-galacturonan DP 10 dyed additionally with ruthenium red (Sigma, Germany).

A semi-interpenetrated network was obtained by bulk polymerization of 2-hydroxye-thyl methacrylate incorporated in DMF treated PET films by solvent-exchange technique, followed by treatment of films in e-lectrical discharges. Heparinization was accomplished by reacting glutaraldehyde with heparin and poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) present on the surface of modified polyester films. The immobilization of heparin was indirectly evidenced by chromatographying the silylated hydrolyza-tes of heparinized PET films and heparin, respectively. In vitro experiments demonstrated the enhanced thromboresistance of heparinized films.

The cured polymer samples used for physical property testing were prepared by photocuring 12 mil thick sheets of degassed and photosensitized monomer mixtures, using a mold composed of glass plates lined with polyester film and separated by a double thickness of vinyl electrical tape. A GE sunlamp was used for Illumination, and Darocure 1173 (E. Merck) was used as the photoinitiator. Hydrocarbon monomers were used as received from the manufacturers. All the vinyl group-containing compounds were stored at -5°C until use. 

The ATR-FTIR spectrum of the middle opaque polyethylene layer of the "bad" sample is shown in Figure 70. This spectrum was acquired from the fracture surface where the outer polyester film and tie layer delaminated from the polyethylene layer. The highest-scoring library match in Figure 70 indicates that the middle layer is a polyethylene with a low branch content, most likely a HDPE or a LLDPE, although a much more detailed spectral analysis would be required to confirm this. 

We have seen that many electronic components, even not specifically produced for cryogenic applications, can be usefully operated at low temperature some of them retain their room temperature characteristics like NiCr resistors which do not appreciably change their resistance (less than 10% upon cooling to 4K) and show a lower noise at low temperature. Other resistors (as RuOz) and most capacitors change their characteristics with temperature. Mica and polyester film capacitors show a good temperature stability. If capacitors insensitive to temperature are needed, crystalline dielectric or vacuum capacitors must be used.
