The most widely used sUicones are polymers of methyl(hydrogen)sUoxane and of dimethylsiloxane. Polydimethylsiloxane is the basic polymer used in sUicone repeUents. If the polymer is terminated with methyl groups it is inert however, if it is terminated with hydroxyl groups, it can be cross-linked. Continuous, durable coatings result from the use of curable blends of polydimethyl siloxane and polymethyl(hydrogen)sUoxane. The sUicone finish encapsulates individual fibers.

After brief discussion of the state-of-the-art of modern Py-GC/MS, some most recent applications for stixictural and compositional chai acterization of polymeric materials are described in detail. These include microstixictural studies on sequence distributions of copolymers, stereoregularity and end group chai acterization for various vinyl-type polymers such as polystyrene and polymethyl methacrylate by use of conventional analytical pyrolysis.

The main experimental techniques used to study the failure processes at the scale of a chain have involved the use of deuterated polymers, particularly copolymers, at the interface and the measurement of the amounts of the deuterated copolymers at each of the fracture surfaces. The presence and quantity of the deuterated copolymer has typically been measured using forward recoil ion scattering (FRES) or secondary ion mass spectroscopy (SIMS). The technique was originally used in a study of the effects of placing polystyrene-polymethyl methacrylate (PS-PMMA) block copolymers of total molecular weight of 200,000 Da at an interface between polyphenylene ether (PPE or PPO) and PMMA copolymers [1]. The PS block is miscible in the PPE. The use of copolymers where just the PS block was deuterated and copolymers where just the PMMA block was deuterated showed that, when the interface was fractured, the copolymer molecules all broke close to their junction points The basic idea of this technique is shown in Fig, I. 

All of the eommereial alkyl eyanoaerylate monomers are low-viseosity liquids, and for some applications this can be an advantage. However, there are instances where a viseous liquid or a gel adhesive would be preferred, sueh as for application to a vertical surface or on porous substrates. A variety of viscosity control agents, depending upon the desired properties, have been added to increase the viscosity of instant adhesives [21]. The materials, which have been utilized, include polymethyl methacrylate, hydrophobic silica, hydrophobic alumina, treated quartz, polyethyl cyanoacrylate, cellulose esters, polycarbonates, and carbon black. For example, the addition of 5-10% of amorphous, non-crystalline, fumed silica to ethyl cyanoacrylate changes the monomer viscosity from a 2-cps liquid to a gelled material [22]. Because of the sensitivity of cyanoacrylate esters to basic materials, some additives require treatment with an acid to prevent premature gelation of the product. 

Examples of thermoplastics are polyethylene, polyvinyl chloride, polystyrene, nylon, cellulose acetate, acetal, polycarbonate, polymethyl methacrylate and polypropylene. 

Polymethyl Methacrylate (PMMA), This material has exceptional optical clarity and resistance to outdoor exposure. It is resistant to alkalis, detergents, oils and dilute acids but is attacked by most solvents. Its peculiar property of total internal reflection is useful in advertising signs and some medical applications.

Acrylic is a generic name for derivatives of acrylic acid, of which methyl methacrylate is the most important. Polymerization is controlled to produce chain length of 800 to 3,000 monomer units. A small amount of plasticizer such as dibutyl phthalate may be added before bulk polymerization to assist in deep molding. The outstanding property of polymethyl metliacrylate is 0 transparency resistance to ultraviolet radiation from fluorescent lamps and ability to be...

In another study, uniform composite polymethyl-methacrylate/polystyrene (PMMA/PS) composite particles in the size range of 1-10 fim were prepared by the seeded emulsion polymerization of styrene [121]. The PMMA seed particles were initially prepared by the dispersion polymerization of MMA by using AIBN as the initiator. In this polymerization, poly(7V-vinyl pyrolli-done) and methyl tricaprylyl ammonium chloride were used as the stabilizer and the costabilizer, respectively, in the methanol medium. Seed particles were swollen with styrene monomer in a medium comprised of seed particles, styrene, water, poly(7V-vinyl pyrollidone), Polywet KX-3 and aeorosol MA emulsifiers, sodium bicarbonate, hydroquinone inhibitor, and azobis(2-methylbu-... 

Grafting reactions onto a polymer backbone with a polymeric initiator have recently been reported by Hazer [56-60]. Active polystyrene [56], active polymethyl methacrylate [57], or macroazoinitiator [58,59] was mixed with a biopolyester polyhydroxynonanaate [60] (PHN) or polybutadiene to be carried out by thermal grafting reactions. The grafting reactions of PHN with polymer radicals may proceed by H-abstraction from the tertier carbon atom in the same manner as free radical modification reactions of polypropylene or polyhy-droxybutyratevalerate [61,62].

In other instances the reactions appear to occur in sequence down the chain, for example in the depolymerisation reaction of polyformaldehyde (polyacetal) and polymethyl methacrylate which are referred to as zippering or sometimes unzippering reactions. In other cases cyclisation reactions can occur such as on heating polyacrylonitrile ... 

Formation of block polymers is not limited to hydrocarbon monomers only. For example, living polystyrene initiates polymerization of methyl methacrylate and a block polymer of polystyrene and of polymethyl methacrylate results.34 However, methyl methacrylate represents a class of monomers which may be named a suicide monomer. Its polymerization can be initiated by carbanions or by an electron transfer process, the propagation reaction is rapid but eventually termination takes place. Presumably, the reactive carbanion interacts with the methyl group of the ester according to the following reaction...
