Polymers melting temperatures

Chemical Properties. The hydrolysis of PET is acid- or base-catalyzed and is highly temperature dependent and relatively rapid at polymer melt temperatures. Treatment for several weeks in 70°C water results in no significant fiber strength loss. However, at 100°C, approximately 20% of the PET tenacity is lost in one week and about 60% is lost in three weeks (47). In general, the hydrolysis and chemical resistance of copolyester materials is less than that for PET and depends on both the type and amount of comonomer.

To a three-necked, round-bottomed flask equipped with a mechanical stirrer, dropping funnel, and condenser is added a solution of 4.95 gm (0.05 mole) of phosgene in 200 ml of dry carbon tetrachloride. The solution is vigorously stirred while the rapid addition of 5.8 gm (0.05 mole) of hexamethylenediamine and 4.0 gm (0.10 mole) of sodium hydroxide in 70 ml of water takes place. The reaction is exothermic while the polyurea forms. After 10 min, the carbon tetrachloride is evaporated off on a steam bath or with the aid of a water aspirator. The polyurea is washed several times in a blender and air-dried overnight to obtain 5.0 gm (70 %), inherent viscosity 0.90 (in w-cresol, 0.5 % concentration at 30°C), polymer melt temperature approximately 295°C. 

The polymer precipitates immediately and stirring is continued for an additional 5 min. The polymer is filtered, boiled in water for 15 min, filtered, dried under reduced pressure at 70°C to afford a quantitative yield of polymer, inherent viscosity 0.31 (sulfuric acid), polymer melt temperature 306°C. The polymer is soluble in formic acid from which a film can be cast.

The minimum conditions (partial pressure, temperature) for degassing the volatile components should not be restricted by the maximum allowable polymer melt temperature. The key data for degassing is obtained from the vapor pressure of the volatile components and/or the equilibrium diagrams, which are generally not available for complex or new material systems. 

The mouldability index is the length of the elongated flow path that is filled before solidification of the injected molten polymer composition at specified moulding conditions, i.e., volumetric injection rate, mould temperature, polymer melt temperature. The mouldability index of the moulding compositions of this invention is characterised by spiral flow.

As a consequence, together with linear chains, branched and crosslinked structures are also formed. They strongly affect molecular masses, MMD, and solution properties. Moreover, these non-crystal 1izable units cause a decrease of both the polymer melting temperature and the crystallization rate, as well as a poorer thermo-oxidative stability (16). 

Several approaches for producing polyanhydride microspheres were developed. One was a hot-melt technique. This process yielded spherical microspheres, and the capsule yield was almost quantitative. The release of acid orange and insulin from PCPP-SA was studied. This approach is most useful for molecules that are exposed to the polymer melting temperature (76°C) without inactivation (26).

Most aromatic polyamides cannot be made by a melt polymerization process because the polymer melt temperature exceeds the decomposition temperature. Singh developed a unique procedure for preparing certain aromatic polyamides by a melt process using an internal plasticizer generated in-situ during the polymerization [82]. The following reaction scheme was used to prepare aromatic polyamides in the absence of a solvent (Equation 13.24). 

For certain uses, it is desirable to prepare biodegradable PVA plasticized with biodegradable plasticizers that specifically assist in lowering the polymer melt temperature and the extrusion temperature and at the same time maximize water solubility by minimizing crystallinity. A PVA composition has been described that is transesteri-fied with a polyol as plasticizer (16).
