Polyurethanes Polyvinyl chloride

Thermal insulators comprise an equally broad range of materials. Such inorganics as mineral fibers, magnesia, aluminum silicate, cellulose, and glass fibers are widely used for steam and hot-water pipes, furnaces, and blown-in home insulation. Organic products that are effective include plastic foams (polyurethane, polyvinyl chloride, polystyrene) and cellular rubber. There are a number of materials that may be called double insulators, since they have both electrical and thermal insulating properties,... 

A wide range of polymers which form thin, flexible films are used. They can be split into two categories, polymeric elastomers and rubbers. The polymers include polyurethanes, polyvinyl chloride, polyvinylidene chloride, polyethylene, polytetrafluoroethylene, silicone elastomers, polyacrylates, and chlorinated and chlorosulphonated polyethylenes.

The commonly used biomedical polymer materials include Polytetrafluoroethene, polyurethane, polyvinyl chloride, silicone rubber, polypropylene, polysiloxane gel, poly methyl acrylate, chitin derivatives and Polymethylmethacrylate. 

Polymeric materials that have been used in the cardiovascular system include polytetrafluorethy-lene, polyethylene terephthalate, polyurethane, polyvinyl chloride, etc. Textiles bas on polytetra-fluorethylene and polyethylene terephthalate are us extensively as fabrics for repair of vasculature and larger-vessel replacement (greater than 6 mm in diameter). Stent-grafts are hybrid stent grafts placed by catheter to treat aortic aneurysms nonsurgically and are fabricated of the same metallic alloys used in stents and textiles similar to those used in vascular grafts. Table 14.1 lists many of the biomaterials currently used in the cardiovascular system. 

Chapter 5 summarizes the investigation of lignocellulosic flax fiber-based reinforcement requirements to obtain structural and complex shape polymer composites. This chapter discusses in detail the possibility of forming complex shape structural composites which are highly desirable for advanced applications. Chapter 7 focuses on the structure and properties of cellulose-based starch polymer composites, while Chapter 8 focuses on the spectroscopic analysis of rice husk and wheat gluten husk-based polymer composites using computational chemistry. Chapter 9 summarizes the processing, characterization and properties of oil palm fiber-reinforced polymer composites. In this chapter, the use of oil palm as reinforcement in different polymer matrices such as natural rubber, polypropylene, polyurethane, polyvinyl chloride, polyester, phenol formaldehyde, polystyrene, epoxy and LLDPE is discussed. Chapter 10 also focuses on... 

Binders in coatings include polyvinyl acetate and copolymers, polyvinyl butyral, polyesters, acrylic polymers, epoxies and polyurethanes (see Ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymers. Acrylic adhesives, Epoxide adhesives and Polyurethane), polyvinyl chloride, polyvinylidene fluoride and aUcyds (oxygen-convertible media containing polyol esters of long-chain unsaturated acids). All these potential film-formers can adhere through dispersion forces, (which are probably weak). Many binders, however, also contain...

Series—Silane sized fibers for improved bonding between the inorganic glass and the organic resin. Sizings are available for polyesters, epoxies, phenolics, polyurethanes, polyvinyl chloride and other resin systems. 

Foam plastic media are manufactured from polyvinyl chloride, polyurethane, polyethylene, polypropylene and the other polymer materials. The foam plastic media are economical. 

Synthetic resins form the heart of the paint industry. The tw o main types of synthetic resins are condensation polymers and addition polymers. Condensation polymers, formed by condensation of like or unlike molecules into a new, more complex compound, include polyesters, phenolics.. iniino resins, polyurethane, and epoxies. Addition polymers include polyvinyl acetate, polyvinyl chloride, and the acrylates,... 

Currently, important TPE s include blends of semicrystalline thermoplastic polyolefins such as propylene copolymers, with ethylene-propylene terepolymer elastomer. Block copolymers of styrene with other monomers such as butadiene, isoprene, and ethylene or ethylene/propy-lene are the most widely used TPE s. Styrene-butadiene-styrene (SBS) accounted for 70% of global styrene block copolymers (SBC). Currently, global capacity of SBC is approximately 1.1 million tons. Polyurethane thermoplastic elastomers are relatively more expensive then other TPE s. However, they are noted for their flexibility, strength, toughness, and abrasion and chemical resistance. Blends of polyvinyl chloride with elastomers such as butyl are widely used in Japan. ... 

Gas-filled plastics are polymer materials — disperse systems of the solid-gas type. They are usually divided into foam plastics (which contain mostly closed pores and cells) and porous plastics (which contain mostly open communicating pores). Depending on elasticity, gas-filled plastics are conventionally classified into rigid, semi-rigid, and elastic, categories. In principle, they can be synthesized on the basis of any polymer the most widely used materials are polystyrene, polyvinyl chloride, polyurethanes, polyethylene, polyepoxides, phenol- and carbamideformaldehyde resins, and, of course, certain organosilicon polymers.

Liquid membranes consist of an organic phase, which by its hydrophobic nature is relatively impermeable to ions. Originally organic solvents such as decanol were used in conjunction with a porous hydrophobic membrane. These have been replaced by plasticized polyvinyl chloride membranes which behave like liquids yet have improved mechanical properties Other polymers such as silicone, polyurethane and ururshi, a... 

Various polymeric materials were tested statically with both gaseous and liquefied mixtures of fluorine and oxygen containing from 50 to 100% of the former. The materials which burned or reacted violently were phenol-formaldehyde resins (Bakelite) polyacrylonitrile-butadiene (Buna N) polyamides (Nylon) polychloroprene (Neoprene) polyethylene polytriflu-oropropylmethylsiloxane (LS63) polyvinyl chloride-vinyl acetate (Tygan) polyvinylidene fluoride-hexafluoropropylene (Viton) polyurethane foam. Under dynamic conditions of flow and pressure, the more resistant materials which binned were chlorinated polyethylenes, polymethyl methacrylate (Perspex) polytetraflu-oroethylene (Teflon).
