Polymerization and characterization

The polymer samples studied here fall into three distinct categories. Data from two sample populations have been combined in the SAN copolymer study. A group of SAN materials having compositions ranging from 42 (wt)% AN to 82% AN were polymerized and characterized quite some time ago (1972), with intrinsic viscosities determined only in DMF. Very recently, a second group of SAN s with compositions from 5 (wt)% to 48% AN, as well as one sample of polystyrene (0% AN), were polymerized and characterized, with intrinsic viscosities determined in DMF, THF, and MEK. These two populations are differentiated in the Results section by the designations "old data" and "new data". The third category of samples is that of S/MA copolymers and S/MA/MM terpolymers, with intrinsic viscosities measured only in MEK.

The methods of PE polymerization and characterization of PE structures can be found In recent publications ( 3-6). The melt flow of PE s and their blends has been reviewed by Plochockl (7-9) and Utracki (10, 11). In the following text, recent Information on PE/PE and PE/PP melt rheology will be outlined. 

Polymerization and Characterization. Block polymerizations via sequential monomer additions were performed, using well known bottle polymerization techniques ( ). All polymer samples were Isolated by coagulation In agitated Isopropanol. The precipitated polymer was filtered, washed and then vacuxim dried at 50°C overnight before final conversion was calculated. 

Conducting polymers such as PANl- or PPY-intercalated clay-type minerals are another type of ER particle material. Kim et al. synthesized PPY-intercalated montmorillonite nanocomposites through inverted emulsion pathway polymerization, and characterized its ER effect under an electric field [38]. The nanocomposites showed not only a typical ER behavior under electric fields but also the existence of a critical electrical field when the yield stress was plotted as a function of the electric field. 

The sources of chemicals, their purification, and the synthesis of TMPC1 [36,61] together with polymerization and characterization methods have been described [62].

The architecture of the molecular chain, which is governed by its polymerization and characterized by different types of tacticity is referred to as the cor gur-ation of the molecule. The configuration of molecules, once set by polymerization, cannot be altered short of destroying the molecule.

VanderHart et al. (2001a-c) studied different clay nanocomposites measuring clay exfoliation by relaxation times of hydrogen that sees iron in the montmorillonite clay. They used Fe atoms in montmorillonite clay to determine clay dispersion in Nylon-6 matrix, and degraded alkyl ammoniums (from thermal processing above 200 C) were observed by NMR technique. Hou et al. (2002,2003) studied clay intercalation of poly(styrene-ethylene oxide)-b/ocfe-copolymers using multinuclear solid-state NMR. Hrobarikova et al. (2004) prepared polycaprolactone with laponite or saponite nanocomposites by in sitn polymerization and characterized by CAP NMR to understand how surfactants at clay surface interacted with polymer matrix. Hrobarikova et al. (2004) used solid-state NMR to study intercalated species in poly(e-caprolactone)/clay nanocomposites.
