Polymers listing

Poly (dimethyl siloxane) offers the least steric hindrance of the polymers listed every other atom along the backbone of the chain is devoid of substituents in this case. 

Polystyrene with its bulky phenyl substituents shows the largest amount of hindrance of the polymers listed here. 

The polymers listed below are all known to form unit cells in which all of the angles are 90. Use this fact plus the dataf given to complete the following table ... 

The cooling requirements will be discussed further in Section 8.2.6. What is particularly noteworthy is the considerable difference in heating requirements between polymers. For example, the data in Table 8.1 assume similar melt temperatures for polystyrene and low-density polyethylene, yet the heat requirement per cm is only 295 J for polystyrene but 543 J for LDPE. It is also noteworthy that in spite of their high processing temperatures the heat requirements per unit volume for FEP (see Chapter 13) and polyethersulphone are, on the data supplied, the lowest for the polymers listed. 

M L equals the mass of a typical polymer chain devided by the number of atoms in its backbone. Slightly more than 1000 strands (length lc) are needed to cross the deformation zone of width 8 = 2w for all the polymers listed in Table 6.1. It is one of the essential findings of this report that the size of the deformation zone is scaled according to the length of the molecular strands. 

The polymers listed above, and all other linear polymers as well, are formed from monomers which enter into two, and only two, linkages with other structural units. This statement corresponds to the previous remark that the structural units of linear polymers necessarily are bivalent. The interlinking capacity of a monomer ordinarily is apparent from its structure it is clearly prescribed by the presence of two condensable functional groups in each monomer in the third and fourth examples above. The ability of the extra electron pair of the ethylenic linkage to enter into the formation of two bonds endows styrene with the same interlinking capacity. In accordance with the functionality concept introduced by Carothers, all monomers which when polymerized may join with two, and only two, other monomers are termed bifunctional. Similarly, a hifunctional unit is one which is attached to two other units. It follows that linear polymers are composed exclusively (aside from terminal units) of bifunctional units. ... 

The chemical and physical properties of the polymers obtained by these alternate methods are identical, except insofar as they are affected by differences in molecular weight. In order to avoid the confusion which would result if classification of the products were to be based on the method of synthesis actually employed in each case, it has been proposed that the substance be referred to as a condensation polymer in such instances, irrespective of whether a condensation or an addition polymerization process was used in its preparation. The cyclic compound is after all a condensation product of one or more bifunctional compounds, and in this sense the linear polymer obtained from the cyclic intermediate can be regarded as the polymeric derivative of the bifunctional monomer(s). Furthermore, each of the polymers listed in Table III may be degraded to bifunctional monomers differing in composition from the structural unit, although such degradation of polyethylene oxide and the polythioether may be difficult. Apart from the demands of any particular definition, it is clearly desirable to include all of these substances among the condensation... 

The butyrate substituents are larger than those for other polymers listed, but they are not proportionately larger than the exceptional length of the structural unit of cellulose. An inspection of models shows that the three butyrate units can be accommodated about the cellulose ring with less obstruction than for the phenyl groups of polystyrene, for example. 

Energy, entropy, and economic considerations make it obvious that the easiest way to replace a synthetic polymer is to start with a natural polymer. The five natural polymers listed above can be used in one of four ways. These are ... 

The members of Class II in Table 1 present very small enthalpies of the mesophase-liquid transition [ AHml < 0.5 kJ/(mol of chain bonds)], suggesting that their mesophase is hardly stabilized by specific interatomic interactions. By contrast, we point out that in all cases the crystal-mesophase transition has a significant enthalpy value, mostly AHqm > 1 kJ/(mol of chain bonds). Consistent with their relatively flexible character, the polymers listed in the Tables have their glass transition below ambient temperature.

Typically, a binary system was selected as the base component of the recipe and the addition of polyelectrolytes to either side (core or receiving bath) was tested to evaluate the change in the capsule properties. The 33 successful multicomponent membrane systems are presented in Table 1. The components of the core material side (21 different chemical compositions) are listed in the first column, while the receiving bath components (20 different chemical compositions) are listed in the second column. With the exception of xanthan and CMC, the first polymer listed on the core side are gelling polymers which form beads with the appropriate ionotropic cation (salt). CMC can also be gelled by ions (alum), although they are considered to be non-compatible for cellular applications. The cations were tested both sequentially, usually with ionotropic cation first, and simultaneously. Walled capsules with adequate mechanical properties were often obtained through the simultaneous application of two polycations. Such a...

Polymerization of these monomer molecules produces monomers and polymers listed in Table 11-1. 

Among some of the proton-donating polymers listed in Table 5, i.e. CPS, PS(OH), PS(t-OH) and PS(s-OH), CPS differs from the others by its strong ability of self-hydrogen bonding, as can be inferred from the order of magnitude of the PKa and K2 of their monomers in bulk at 25 °C [161], i.e. ...

Clearly the macroporous polymers are the only solids that have the physical characteristics useful for gravity flow columns. This conclusion is frequently not considered or discussed. With respect to the polymers listed in Table I, the most useful are those with the highest surface areas however, these are subject to the caveat about pore size discussed next.

Exercise 29-9 The material popularly known as Silly Putty" is a polymer having an —O—Si(R)2—O—Si(R)2—O— backbone. It is elastic in that it bounces and snaps back when given a quick jerk, but it rapidly loses any shape it is given when allowed to stand. Which of the polymers listed in Table 29-1 is likely to be the best candidate to have anything like similar properties Explain, What changes would you expect to take place in the properties of Silly Putty as a function of time if it were irradiated with x rays (see Exercise 29-7) ... 

Table 6 contains data on the transition parameters for a large series of main-chain mesogen macromolecules. Figure 15 shows scanning calorimetry data for poly(oxy-2,2 -dimethylazoxybenzene-4,4 -diyloxydodecanedioyl), entry 8 in Table 6. These data should be compared to data on low molecular mass p-butyl-p -methoxyazoxy-benzene which are shown in Fig. 12. Similar comparisons are available for two benzalazines (entries 14 and 16 of Table 6). Although the entropies of transition from the liquid crystal to the isotropic melt are small for all polymers listed as expected, they are larger than those of the corresponding nematic small molecules [1.6, 3.35, and 3.26 J/(K mol), respectively for the small molecules corresponding to entries 8, 14, and 16]. The main-chain nematics seem to have a somewhat larger entropy of transition than the side-chain nematics for larger flexible spacers.

That is why here we describe two groups of polymers- those. forming an ordered smectic phase (of SB type) and polymers with mesogenic groups, for which the formation of crystalline structure is proposed (Table 5). Sometimes it is difficult to distinguish between crystalline and LC states of ordered smectic phases. Thus, the interpretation of data on crystalline phases of some polymers, listed in Table 5, is also possible from the viewpoint of smectic polymorphism.

Table 4.3 shows the permselectivity characteristics of pure, semicrystalline PEO films [76]. The selectivity characteristics for 02/N2 are rather similar to those for silicone rubber and natural rubber shown in Table 4.2. However, the values of permselectivity for C02 relative to the various light gases shown are all much higher than Table 4.2 shows for the rubbery polymers listed there and even for polysulfone except for C02/CH4. Comparison of the data in Tables 4.2 and 4.3 makes it clear that this high permselectivity of PEO stems from its high solubility selectivity for C02 versus other gases this is augmented by modest values of diffusivity selectivity. Data in Table 4.4 for the C02/N2 pair illustrate that this effect can be translated into various block-copolymer structures when the PEO content is high enough to ensure it is the continuous phase. In fact, nearly all these materials have higher permselectivity and solubility selectivity for C02/N2 than does pure PEO (see Table 4.3) however, the diffusion selectivity for these copolymers is much closer to, or even less than, unity than seen for pure PEO. Furthermore, the copolymers all have much higher absolute permeability coefficients than does PEO.

In Table III, critical surface tensions of thirty-nine polymers are reported, calculated on the basis of Equation 5 by assuming < = 1. In other words, these calculated results are equivalent to the calculated solid surface tensions (y8). Solubility parameters of several polymers listed in the table were calculated on the basis of Small s constants (35), and all molar volumes were calculated on the basis of the molecular weight of the repeat unit and the density of the polymer. The results in Table III were used to prepare a graph (Figure 2) for the comparison between the calculated and the observed critical surface tensions of these polymers. The data are rather scattered, and the calculated values are generally lower than those observed directly. The following factors may be contributing to the deviations ...
