Polymeries

In the next group of chapters we shall discuss condensation or step-growth polymers and polymerizations in Chap. 5, addition or chain-growth polymers and polymerizations in Chap. 6, and copolymers and stereoregular polymers in Chap. 7. It should not be inferred from this that these are the only classes of polymers and polymerization reactions. Topics such as ring-opening polymeri-...

CPA. Copolymer alloy membranes (CPAs) are made by alloying high molecular weight polymeries, plasticizers, special stabilizers, biocides, and antioxidants with poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC). The membrane is typically reinforced with polyester and comes in finished thicknesses of 0.75—1.5 mm and widths of 1.5—1.8 m. The primary installation method is mechanically fastened, but some fully adhered systems are also possible. The CPA membranes can exhibit long-term flexibiHty by alleviating migration of the polymeric plasticizers, and are chemically resistant and compatible with many oils and greases, animal fats, asphalt, and coal-tar pitch. The physical characteristics of a CPA membrane have been described (15).

The common acid acceptors, red lead oxide and barium carbonate, are both toxic when inhaled or ingested. They are, and should be, used in industry as dispersions in EPDM and ECO. SuppHers of red lead oxide include Polymeries, Inc., Rhein Chemie Corp., and Akrochem Co., Akron, Ohio. Barium carbonate in an ECO binder is available from Rhein Chemie Corp. and Synthetic Products Co.

Membrane eleetrodes with obtained PVP-dye adduets in polymerie matrixes are developed to measure free eoneentrations of polymer in solution. Membrane film eleetrodes ar e prepar ed using polyvinyl ehloride as a matrix. We investigated properties of eleetrodes eontaining triphenylmethane - PVP and azodye - PVP adduets in water solution of polymer in presenee of different eleetrolytes. 

There are several methods for the fabrieation of thin-film earbon eleetrode ineluding sputtering [4, 5], eleetron beam evaporation [6], pyrolysis of polymerie thin film [7] and pyrolysis of gaseous hydroearbons [8]. 

Methylfuran [534-22-5] M 82.1, b 62.7-62.8 /731mm, d 0.917, n 1.436. Washed with acidified satd ferrous sulfate soln (to remove peroxides), separated, dried with CaS04 or CaCl2, and fractionally distd from KOH immediately before use. To reduce the possibility of spontaneous polymeri.sation, addition of about one-third of its volume of heavy mineral oil to 2-methylfuran prior to distn has been recommended.

It has been found, too, that the relaxation times are eompatible with an Arrhenius-hke variation with density cj) (Fig. 19). This suggests that free volume eoneepts [42] might be useful for the understanding of the dynamies of dense polymerie films. 

Water-soluble polymers eomprise a major elass of polymerie materials and are used in a wide variety of applieations. Synthetie water-soluble polymers inelude poly(vinyl aleohol), poly(aerylamide), poly(aerylie aeid), poly(ethylene oxide), poly(vinyl pyrrolidone), eellulosies, and many eopolymers of these types. Their end uses are quite varied and their applieations depend mainly on their viseosify-ing, rheologieal, and surfaee-aetive properties (1). For example, poly (vinyl aleohol) is used in adhesives, fibers, textile and paper sizing, paekaging, as a stabilizer for emulsion polymerization, and as a preeursor for the manufaeture of poly(vinyl butyral), whieh is used in automotive windshields. Poly(vinyl aleohol) is also the world s largest volume, eommodity, water-soluble polymer.

Rigid polyurethane foams were prepared at room temperature using eommercial polyols and polymerie 4,4 -diphenyl methane diisoeyanate, and used to study their reeyeling by aminolysis. The reaction products obtained by treatment with diethylene triamine at 180 C were evaluated as hardeners for epoxy resins. The exothermie heats of euring were determined over the temperature range 60-80 C by differential scanning calorimetry. A reaction order of 2.2-2.4 was obtained. 8 refs.
