Polymer resin polyvinyl acetate

Synthetic resins form the heart of the paint industry. The tw o main types of synthetic resins are condensation polymers and addition polymers. Condensation polymers, formed by condensation of like or unlike molecules into a new, more complex compound, include polyesters, phenolics.. iniino resins, polyurethane, and epoxies. Addition polymers include polyvinyl acetate, polyvinyl chloride, and the acrylates,... 

In the waterborne phenolic adhesives, a new dispersion system (98) has been reported. This system uses the solubility of some thermoplastics in phenol, and the subsequent polymerization takes place upon the addition of formaldehyde, an emulsifier, and water. The dispersion is then formed in situ. The versatility of this process is indicated by the use of many polymers with a wide range of properties, e.g., polyvinyl formal, polyvinyl butyral, acrylonitrile-butadiene copolymer, bisphenol-A resins, polyvinyl acetate, polycarbonate, polymethyl methacrylate, and nylons.

Vinyl chloride polymers and copolymers are often referred to as vinyl resins. PVC is the most important member of the vinyl resin family, which includes polyvinyl acetate (PVAC), polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), polyvinylidene chloride (PVdC) and polyvinyl acetal. Almost always the term PVC includes polymers of VCM as well as copolymers that are mostly VCM.

The results obtained by addition of plasticizer vary with different polymers. In polyvinyl chloride, for example, plasticizer concentrations of 30 50% convert the hard, rigid resin to rubber-like products having remarkably high elastic recovery, while similar plasticizer concentrations in cellulose acetate produce tough but essentially rigid products.

Epoxy resins may be blended with certain vinyl polymers to improve the impact strength and peel strength of the adhesive. Polyvinyl acetals, such as polyvinyl butyral and polyvinyl formal, and polyvinyl esters are compatible with DGEBA epoxy resins when added at concentrations of 10 to 20% by weight. The addition improves the resulting impact resistance and peel strength of the cured adhesive. However, temperature and chemical resistance are sacrificed by the addition of the low-glass-transition-temperature vinyl resins. 

The choice of the solvent is important, too. By choosing an appropriate solvent or a special mixture of solvents, a transparent solid resin results. Thus, the phase separation between polyvinyl acetate part and the silicone part of the copolymer, two normally incompatible polymers, can be reduced or even be completely avoided. 

We learned much from nature with these early attempts to produce useful polymer products based on modified, or reconstituted ( semisynthetic ) natural polymers, and many of these processes are still in use today. The first of the purely synthetic commercial polymers came with the small-scale introduction of Bakelite in 1907. This phenol-formaldehyde resin product was developed by Leon Baekeland. It rapidly became a commercial reality with the formation of The General Bakelite Company by Baekeland, and construction of a larger plant at Perth Amboy, New Jersey, in 1910. At about this time styrene was being combined with dienes in the early commercialization of processes to produce synthetic rubber. Polystyrene itself was not a commercial product in Germany until 1930 and in the U.S.A. in 1937. The only other purely synthetic polymers that made a commercial appearance during this early development period were polyvinyl chloride and polyvinyl acetate, both in the early 1920s. 

In the polymer industry, packing material, laminates including multilayer films, pellets or molded products can be analyzed by NIR. Even polymer latex particles with up to 99 % water content may be analyzed. NIR provides information about reaction mechanisms, polymerization, crystallinity, orientation, water content and hydrogen bonding, even during the process of polymer manufacture. For example the disappearance of the double bonds in polyethylene and polypropylene can be monitored. In the NIR spectrum C=C bonds lead to a combination band at about 4740 cm and a first overtone at about 6170 cm NIR spectroscopy is applied to characterize ester-, nitrile-, or amide-based acrylic and methacrylic polymers. Other examples are the identification of polyvinylchloride, polyvinyl alcohol and polyvinyl acetates or the analysis of polymerization in epoxy and phenolic resins.

Experimental plan. Table 1 presents the experimental plan of this study. High-strength concrete with 25% W/B and incorporating 20% fly ash (FA) and 10% silica fume (SF) was fabricated. A number of trial mixes were performed to secure 700 mm slump flow and 3. 0% air content. For the polymer resin, ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA-P) and polyvinyl acetate copolymer (PVA-P) powders and PVA (PVA-F) and polypropylene (PP-F) fibers were applied. The dosages ranged from 0.1% to 0.5% for powder-type resins and from 0.05% to 0.15% for fiber-type polymers.
