The trapping efficiency of polymeric, microporous adsorbents [e.g., polystyrene, polyurethane foam (PUF), Tenax] for compound vapors will be affected by compound vapor density (i. e., equilibrium vapor pressure). The free energy change required in the transition from the vapor state to the condensed state (e.g., on an adsorbent) is known as the adsorption potential (calories per mole), and this potential is proportional to the ratio of saturation to equilibrium vapor pressure. This means that changes in vapor density (equilibrium vapor pressure) for very volatile compounds, or for compounds that are gases under ambient conditions, can have a dramatic effect on the trapping efficiency for polymeric microporous adsorbents. 

P.R.144 is also suited to use in other plastics, such as polystyrene, polyurethane, elastomers, or cast resins, including those made from unsaturated polyester. 

Macromolecules may be classified according to different criteria. One criterion is whether the material is natural or synthetic in origin. Cellulose, lignin, starch, silk, wool, chitin, natural rubber, polypeptides (proteins), polyesters (polyhydroxybutyrate), and nucleic acids (DNA, RNA) are examples of naturally occurring polymers while polyethylene, polystyrene, polyurethanes, or polyamides are representatives of their synthetic counterparts. When natural polymers are modified by chemical conversions (cellulose —> cellulose acetate, for example), the products are called modified natural polymers. 

A very wide range of plastics are coloured with pigments including PVC, polystyrene, polyurethane, polyamide, polycarbonate, polyester, elastomers, thermosets and thermoplastics. The choice of pigment is obviously dependent on which plastic...

Foams Wave by Mater-Bi, foamed sheet packaging is a biodegradable alternative to conventional protective foam packaging such as polystyrene, polyurethane and polyethylene. Wave by Mater-Bi is starch-based, and is expanded using water, extruded into sheets and then assembled into blocks that can be cut into any shape. The foams have a robust and resilient closed-cell structure. 

We conclude from findings on moisture absorption and freeze-thaw resistance of various insulations, and the effect of moisture on thermal performance, that in protected-membrane roofing applications the order of resisting moisture pickup is extruded polystyrene > polyurethane > molded polystyrene [57]. Water absorption values for insulation in use for 5 years were 0.2vol% for extruded polystyrene, 5vol% for polyurethane without skins, and 8-30 vol%... 

Breck at al (68) havs recently examined the reactivities of a number of saturated and unsaturated polymers towards singlet oxygen generated by microwave generator. The saturated ohain polymers as polystyrene,polyurethane and polyethylene were found to be inert within the experimental conditions with singlet oxygen,while the unsaturated polymers as poly-dienes were found to react quite readily.In this paper concentration of hydroperoxide groups has been measured.

A variety of foams can be produced from various types of polyethylenes and cross-linked systems having a very wide range of physical properties, and foams can be tailor-made to a specific application. Polypropylene has a higher thermostability than polyethylene. The production volume of polyolefin foams is not as high as that of polystyrene, polyurethane, or PVC foams. This is due to the higher cost of production and some technical difficulties in the production of polyolefin foams. The structural foam injection molding process, described previously for polystyrene, is also used for polyethylene and polypropylene structural foams (see Figure 2.61). 

Two types of heating test are used to identify plastics. The bum or flame test requires a sample of approximately 2 X 4 cm (Braun, 1996). A Bunsen burner is adjusted to its lowest setting and forceps are used to hold the sample over the flame. The colour of the flame and behaviour of the sample are recorded including its ability to melt or drip and whether it self-extinguishes or continues to burn after removal from the flame.

The largest markets for foamed plastics are in home insulation (polystyrene, polyurethane, phenol formaldehyde) and in packaging, including various disposable food and drink containers. Also refers to the occurrence of frothy mixture of air and a slurry that can reduce the effectiveness of the product, and cause sluggish hydraulic operation, air binding of oil pumps, and overflow of tanks or sumps. 

The possibilities for making bonded structural sandwich elements in a variety of materials are very real. However, whilst there exist structural examples such as aluminium honeycomb panels (used in aircraft and transport applications) and metal skinned foam sandwich panels (used as the monocoque chassis in refrigerated transport applications), these composite constructions are normally utilised in non- or semi-structural ways. Typical skin materials are steel, aluminium, GRP and plywood, and common core materials are rigid foam polystyrene, polyurethane, polyisocyanurate, PVC, and honeycombed aluminium. In some instances the foam core is injected between the skins and adheres to them in others, adhesives are used to bond the separate components together. The nature of the manufaeturing process depends on the type of structure to be made, and the degree of investment in produetion maehinery. Both flat and eomplex eurved forms ean be made by a hand lay-up process as well as in an automated way.
