Polymerization casting

The above set of rules - though accurately descriptive of earlier casting procedures - has led to serious misconceptions pertaining to the formation of anisotropic membranes, and therefore, misconceptions in the formulation of new polymeric casting solutions. It is evident that the polymer solution concentration progressively increases at the surface layer during the evaporation period, and... 

The term membrane encompasses a wide range of potential substrates that can be used for the immobihzation of NAs. It includes traditional polymeric cast membranes , such as nitrocellulose, nylon or polypropylene, and also innovations such as ceramic or track-etched materials (alumina membranes). Membranes as substrates in DNA array fabrication can possess advantages over other surfaces their surface area can be much greater (200% more in cast membranes and 500% more in aliuniniiun membranes) than certain other alternatives. This is primarily a consequence of their possession of pores.

A typical system for polymerization casting of caprolactam thus uses as a catalyst 0.1—1 mol% N-acetyl caprolactam and 0.15-0.50 mol% of the sodium salt of caprolactam. The reaction temperature is initially about 150°C, but during polymerization it rises to about 200°C. The technique is especially applicable to the production of large, complex shapes that could not be made by the more conventional plastics processing techniques. 

Nylon parts made by polymerization casting of caprolactam exhibit higher molecular weights and a highly crystalline structure and are, therefore, slightly harder and stiflfer than conventionally molded nylon-6. 

A newer technique for the preparation of nylon 6 in bulk form consists of the polymerization casting of caprolactam in situ in the mould. In this process, rapid polymerization is achieved by the use of anionic initiators. Anionic polymerization of caprolactam is effected by strong bases (B M such as metal amides, metal hydrides and alkali metals according to the following scheme ... 

Synthesis of high-flux composite membranes requires deposition of a selective, ultra-thin skin on a highly permeable support. The most common methods for formation of composite membranes include interfadal polymerization, casting, plasma polymerization, and solution coating. 

The preparative chemistry of the polyurethanes is such that these materials are more readily amenable to polymerization casting processes than to conventional rubber technology. For this reason such processes were the first to be developed commercially and still remain of prime importance. 

Polymerization, block This term has been applied to both bulk polymerization (casting of polymerizing syrup) and sequence copolymerization (block copolymerization). It is only this latter that is recognized by lUPAC as true copolymerization. Confusion may be avoided to some extent by the use of the prefix co which implies the polymerization of more than one monomer.

Although Synhydride (resp. Dilactamate) is not considered to be a normal initiator, it is today being used in industrial polymerization casting to some extent (private confidential communication). Recently, Synhydride has been applied, in combination with diisocyanate activators, for the preparation of powder polyamides (see Section 7.10).
