The study of the frequency dependence of the AC conductivity obtain information about electronic states and transport mechanism of disordered solids. In numerous disordered solids (amorphous and doped semiconductors, semiconductor glasses, polymers, granular materials, etc.), the AC conductivity in a wide frequency range (up to GHz range) can be described by a fractional power dependence a(m ) = AcT, where A is a constant and the parameter 5 lies in the range 0 < 5 < I (universality, see reviews [1, 2]). 

Ihe activity profile of a polymerization catalyst provides data which is useful in predicting trends in polymer granular bulk density. In general terms, polymerization catalysts with a very high initial activity provide lower granular bulk density than catalysts with a lower initial rate of polymerization.

In mass polymerization bulk monomer is converted to polymers. In solution polymerization the reaction is completed in the presence of a solvent. In suspension, dispersed mass, pearl or granular polymerization the monomer, containing dissolved initiator, is polymerized while dispersed in the form of fine droplets in a second non-reactive liquid (usually water). In emulsion polymerization an aqueous emulsion of the monomer in the presence of a water-soluble initiator Is converted to a polymer latex (colloidal dispersion of polymer in water). 

Acetate and triacetate polymers are white amorphous soHds produced in granular, flake, powder, or fibrous form. They are used as raw materials in the preparation of fibers, films, and plastics. Polymer density varies and ranges from 100 kg/m for the fibrous form to 500 kg/m for granules. Acetate polymer is shipped by trailer tmck, railroad freight car, or multiwaH bags. 

The discovery of PTFE (1) in 1938 opened the commercial field of perfluoropolymers. Initial production of PTFE was directed toward the World War II effort, and commercial production was delayed by Du Pont until 1947. Commercial PTFE is manufactured by two different polymerization techniques that result in two different types of chemically identical polymer. Suspension polymerization produces a granular resin, and emulsion polymerization produces the coagulated dispersion that is often referred to as a fine powder or PTFE dispersion.

Polymer Suspensions. Poly(ethylene oxide) resins ate commercially available as fine granular soHds. However, the polymer can be dispersed in a nonsolvent to provide better metering into various systems. Production processes involve the use of high shear mixers to disperse the soHds in a nonsolvent vehicle (72—74). 

Gra.nula.r Compositions. Granular compositions of UF reaction products are divided into three classes, each based on their degree of water solubihty as affected by their polymer distributions, ie, ureaform, the least water-soluble class methylene ureas and methylene diurea/dimethylene triurea (MDU/DMTU) compositions, the shortest-chain MU oligomers and the most water-soluble. 

The nitrogen content of granular urea—formaldehyde reaction products typicahy ranges from 35 to 42% depending on the methylene urea polymer distribution. 

Products are granular, free-flowing, and dust-free by nature, since no flow conditioner dust is used as with sulfur-coated fertilizers. They possess excellent abrasion resistance and handling integrity. Since the outer coating is a hard polymer, the products do not leave waxy residues on material handling and apphcation equipment.

If PVC polymer particles are mixed, at room temperature, with plasticisers the immediate product may take one of two forms. If there is insufficient plasticiser to fill all the gaps between the particle a mush will be produced. If all the voids are filled then the particles will become suspended in the plasticiser and a paste will be formed. In the case of conventional granular polymer, or with emulsion polymer cenospheres, the particles are too large to remain in suspension and will settle out. Therefore compounds used in paste-processes must use polymers with a small particle size. On the other hand there is a lower limit to this, since small particles will have a very high surface/volume ratio and measurable plasticiser absorption will occur at room temperature to give a paste whose viscosity will increase unduly with time. As a consequence paste polymers have an average particle size of about 0.2-1.5 ptm. 

The success of filler polymers used in increasing quantities in PVC technology paste can be considered as an extension of this principle. These filler polymers are made by suspension (granular, dispersion) polymerisation and by... 

FIFE is made commercially by two major processes, one leading to the so called granular polymer and the second leading to a dispersion of polymer of much finer particle size and lower molecular weight. One method of producing the latter involved the use of a 0.1 % aqueous disuccinic acid peroxide solution. The reactions were carried out at temperatures up to 90°C. It is understood that the Du Pont dispersion polymers, at least, are produced by methods based on the patent containing the above example.

Another example in the polymers industry is illustrated in Figure 17, which is a process aimed at the batch drying of waste residue with solvent recovery. In this application liquid or viscous waste solutions are pumped into a batch dryer where they are dried under vacuum to a solid granular residue. Vaporized water and solvent are recovered by condensation and then separated by gravity. The process scheme is flexible, offering a range of temperatures and vacuum levels for treating... 

Adsorption, which utilizes the ability of a solid adsorbent to adsorb specific components from a gaseous or a liquid solution onto its surface. Examples of adsorption include the use of granular activated carbon for the removal of ben-zene/toluene/xylene mixtures from underground water, the separation of ketones from aqueous wastes of an oil refinery, aad the recovery of organic solvents from the exhaust gases of polymer manufacturing facilities. Other examples include the use of activated alumina to adsorb fluorides and arsenic from metal-finishing emissions. 

In suspension polymerization, the monomer gets dispersed in a liquid, such as water. Mechanical agitation keeps the monomer dispersed. Initiators should be soluble in the monomer. Stabilizers, such as talc or polyvinyl alcohol, prevent polymer chains from adhering to each other and keep the monomer dispersed in the liquid medium. The final polymer appears in a granular form. 

Limit the spread of the spilled substance by containing it with a dike. Use an absorbent material appropriate for the type of spill (e.g., polymer-type absorbents such as spill booms, granular materials such as kitty litter, ground corncobs, etc.).
