Polyesters also properties

PTT has three dynamic mechanical viscoelastic relaxations [61, 62], a, (j and Y (Figure 11.9). The 70°C a-relaxation is the glass transition. In a study on the effect of methylene sequence length on aromatic polyester viscoelastic properties, Farrow et al. [63] reported a PTT a-relaxation as high as 95 °C. They also found that Tg of this series of aromatic polyesters did not show any odd-even effects, which was later confirmed by Smith et al. [64],... 

Acyltransferases are, for instance, able to synthesize biological polyesters with properties comparable or sometimes even exceeding polymers based on petrochemical-derived monomers. Acyltransferases are also frequently used to modify macromolecules in food and non-food applications.

Most plants contain a mixture of the 16- and 18-carbon family of cutln monomers. Even though there appears to be a degree of species specificity In the cutln composition, whether the polymer structure can vary sufficiently to affect major functional properties of the polymer is not known. The polyester also contains covalently attached minor components such as phenolic acids and flavanolds (9,10) which. If released by the attacking pathogen, can play important roles in the Interaction between the pathogens and the host. However, such areas have not been explored adequately to draw firm conclusions. 

Spedalty plastics snch as PC, acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS), PU, polyamides (PA), thermoplastic elastomers, polysnlfone and polyetheretherketone (PEEK) are being used in a nnmber of special applications in medical devices, whenever high performance is required. There are also a number of polymer blends used in this category (i.e., PC/ABS and PC/polyester), if property envelopes are required to be further improved. 

Cumene (isopropylbenzene, isopropylben-zol, cumol) n. C6H5CH(CH3)2. A volatile liquid in the alkyl-aromatic family of hydrocarbons. It is used as a solvent and intermediate for the production of phenol, acetone, and a-methyl styrene and as a catalyst for acrylic and polyester resins. Properties bp, 153°C sp gr, 0.862/20°C refractive index, 1.506. Known also as isopropyl benzene (See image). 

Triacetate offers better ease-of-care properties than secondary acetate ia many apparel appHcations. Of particular importance are surface-finished fabrics, eg, fleece, velour, and suede for robes and dresses. These fabrics offer superb aesthetic quaHties at reasonable cost. Triacetate is also deskable for print fabrics, where it produces bright, sharp colors. The recent discontinuance of triacetate fiber Hi the United States has led to the use of acetate with fibers such as polyester (47—50). 

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.
