In situ polymerisation does not however guarantee homogeneous blends as two phase regions can exist within the polymer/polymer/monomer three component phase diagram. In the case of vinyl chloride polymerisation with solution chlorinated polyethylene, the vinyl chloride has limited solubility in both poly(vinyl chloride) and chlorinated polyethylene. The phase diagram has the form shown in Fig. 3 The limit of swelling of vinyl chloride in the chlorinated polyethylene is A and the highest concentration of PVC prepared by a one-shot polymerisation is B.

Chlorination may be carried out with both high-density and low-density polyethylene. When carried out in solution the chlorination is random but when carried out with the polymer in the form of a slurry the chlorination is uneven and due to residual crystalline zones of unchlorinated polyethylene the material remains a thermoplastic. 

Polyethylene can be chlorinated in solution in carbon tetrachloride or in suspension in the piescnce ot a catalyst. Below 55-60% chlorine, it is more stable and more compatible with many polymers, especially polyvinyl chloride, to which it gives increased impact strength. The low pressure process copolymerizes polyethylene with propylene and butylene to increase its resistance to stress cracking. Copolymerization with vinyl acetate at high pressure increases flexibility, resistance to stress cracking, and seal ability of value to the food industry. 

Pandey et al. have used ultrasonic velocity measurement to study compatibility of EPDM and acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber (NBR) blends at various blend ratios and in the presence of compa-tibilizers, namely chloro-sulfonated polyethylene (CSM) and chlorinated polyethylene (CM) [22]. They used an ultrasonic interferometer to measure sound velocity in solutions of the mbbers and then-blends. A plot of ultrasonic velocity versus composition of the blends is given in Eigure 11.1. Whereas the solution of the neat blends exhibits a wavy curve (with rise and fall), the curves for blends with compatibihzers (CSM and CM) are hnear. They resemble the curves for free energy change versus composition, where sinusoidal curves in the middle represent immiscibility and upper and lower curves stand for miscibihty. Similar curves are obtained for solutions containing 2 and 5 wt% of the blends. These results were confirmed by measurements with atomic force microscopy (AEM) and dynamic mechanical analysis as shown in Eigures 11.2 and 11.3. Substantial earher work on binary and ternary blends, particularly using EPDM and nitrile mbber, has been reported. 

Abnormal behavior can occur in the reaction of an initially homogeneous system if there is a change in the physical nature of the system on reaction of the polymer. Partial reaction may yield a polymer that is no longer soluble in the reaction medium or that forms a highly viscous system. The solubility changes can be quite complex, as shown in the chlorination of polyethylene when carried out in solution using aliphatic or aromatic hydrocarbon solvents... 

Subramaniam, 1988]. Hydrochlorination, usually carried out at about 10°C, proceeds by electrophilic addition to give the Markownikoff product with chlorine on the tertiary carbon (Eq. 9-33) [Golub and Heller, 1964 Tran and Prud homme, 1977]. Some cyclization of the intermediate carbocation (XXVI) also takes place (Sec. 9-7). The product, referred to as rubber hydrochloride, has low permeability to water vapor and is resistant to many aqueous solutions (hut not bases or oxidizing acids). Applications include packaging film laminates with metal foils, paper, and cellulose films, although it has been largely replaced by cheaper packaging materials such as polyethylene. 

The incorporation of unmodified and organically modified montmorillonite nanoclays (namely 15A and 30B) in chlorinated polyethylene (CPE) by the solution intercalation method and their influence on mechanical properties of the nanocomposites have been studied by Kar et al. [137]. The o-MMT-embedded nanocomposites show enhanced tensile strength and Young s modulus in comparison to the nanocomposites containing the unmodified nanoclay. They have shown from and XRD analyses that organically modified clay shows better dispersion in the CPE matrix. This has been further substantiated from FTIR analysis, which proves an interaction between the CPE matrix and the clay intercalates. 

Polyethylene in solution is treated with chlorine and sulfur dioxide to introduce approximately 1.39k sulfur and 29% chlorine into the polymer. Most of the chlorine is attached directly to the carbon atoms in the backbone of the polymer, The remainder is in the form of sulfuryl chloride groups, SO CI, through which crosslinking occurs In the curing step with metal oxides. The material has good oxidation and ozone resistance and thus overall excellent weather resistance. Calendered stocks are used for lining ditches and ponds, for example. 

Polyethylene parts are decorated by silk screening, hot stamping, or dry offset printing. For satisfactory printing, the surface must be oxidized by hot air, flame, chlorination, sulfunc acid-dichromate solution, or electronic bombardment. Hot air or flame methods are used with molded parts flame or electronic methods with films. Inks specially made for polyethylene give best results. Roll-leaf hot stamping does not require pretreatment of the suifaoe. 

A detailed review of the stabilities of inorganic selenium species, i.e. Se and Se, in water has been published (Heninger et al., 1997). No loss of either species was detected in aqueous solutions stored at — 20°C for 1 year. The concentrations studied were 10 and SOngmF1 (Cobo et al., 1994). Losses of Se occurred at higher temperatures for solutions of pH 2 and 6 stored in polyethylene containers. The maximum time for preservation was 1-2 months. In another investigation (Heninger et al., 1997), aqueous samples stored in Teflon containers at 4°C lost 29% of Se by oxidation in less than 1 month. The authors stated that catalytic oxidation of Se had occurred as a result of chlorine produced by a reaction between dissolved chloride and oxygen.
