Cross polymerization

Surface Modification. Plasma surface modification can include surface cleaning, surface activation, heat treatments, and plasma polymerization. Surface cleaning and surface activation are usually performed for enhanced joining of materials (see Metal SURFACE TREATMENTS). Plasma heat treatments are not, however, limited to high temperature equiUbrium plasmas on metals. Heat treatments of organic materials are also possible. Plasma polymerization crosses the boundaries between surface modification and materials production by producing materials often not available by any other method. In many cases these new materials can be appHed directly to a substrate, thus modifying the substrate in a novel way. 

Ahphatic dihahdes, like ethylene dichloride [107-06-2] react with alkylene amines to form various polymeric, cross-linked, water soluble cationic products (19) or higher alkyleneamine products depending on the reactant ratio. 

Radiation-induced modification or processing of a polymer is a relatively sophisticated method than conventional thermal and chemical processes. The radiation-induced changes in polymer materials such as plastics or elastomers provide some desirable combinations of physical and chemical properties in the end product. Radiation can be applied to various industrial processes involving polymerization, cross-linking, graft copolymerization, curing of paints and coatings, etc.

Radiation synthesis has been reviewed by Wagner (1969), Vershchinskii (1972), Wilson (1972), and Chutny and Kucera (1974). A good summary is also available in Spinks and Woods (1990). On the theoretical side, radiation-induced reactions of importance to industry can be classified as addition reactions, sub-sitution reactions, and other reactions including polymerization, cross-linking,... 

The alpha phase is made up of ice-hke needles having polymeric cross-linked structure. It melts at 62.3°C and has a vapor pressure of 73 torr at... 

We have left this subject to the end of the chapter because it uses all of the principles we have established earlier on. It requires an understanding of radical polymerization, co-polymerization, cross-linking, functionalization of polymers after they have been made, and so on. This is a rapidly growing subject and we can only outline the basics. 

In contrast, GPVI-deficient platelets woe unresponsive to CRP-XL, showing that GPVI is a signalling receptor for the polymeric cross-linked triple-helical Gly-Pro-Hyp motif. 

Polymeric, cross-linked dextran gels, called Sephadex , are used in size-exclusion TLC. Sephadex gels, which are available in coarse (100-300 jU-m), medium (50-150 IJLm), fine (20-80 jU-m), and superfine (10-40 par-... 

The decomposition products of CBA should not affect the rates of nucleation, polymerization, cross-linking, and decomposition of CBA. 

The structure analyses of two special types of dlacetylene "monomers," dlyne dimers and polydiyne macromonomers, are reviewed and preliminary results on the conversion and chromic behavior of one specific system, poly(l,8-nonadlyne) (F18N) are presented. Structure analyses of these materials before and after solid state polymerization allows a qualitative understanding of the dlacetylene polymerization. Cross-polymerized P18N has been shown to display solvatochromlc and thermochromlc behavior, even though this material Is Insoluble and Infusible. Examination of Initial optical spectroscopic data of the chromic behavior as a function of conversion, as well as consideration of the chromic behavior of conventional diacetylenes, leads to a possible explanation of the chromic behavior of crosspolymerlzed P18N.

Total impregnation. The infusion of consolidant becomes necessary when the original fabric is degraded to the point of being dissociated to an amorphic substance. While acrylic and vinyl resins are preferable for their solvency after polymerization, cross-linking epoxides and polyesters may be necessary for their cohesive and gap-filling properties.
