Pressure polystyrene

Fischer prepared poly(styrene-co-aciylonitrile) and polystyrene by stable free radical emulsion polymerization using 4-hydroxy-2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-1 -piper-idinyloxy with potassium peroxodisulfate at 120°C under elevated pressures. Polystyrene samples prepared in this manner had molecular weights of up to 35,000 daltons with polydispersities of less than 1.5.

Other Plastics Uses. The plasticizer range alcohols have a number of other uses in plastics hexanol and 2-ethylhexanol are used as part of the catalyst system in the polymerization of acrylates, ethylene, and propylene (55) the peroxydicarbonate of 2-ethylhexanol is utilized as a polymerization initiator for vinyl chloride various trialkyl phosphites find usage as heat and light stabHizers for plastics organotin derivatives are used as heat stabHizers for PVC octanol improves the compatibHity of calcium carbonate filler in various plastics 2-ethylhexanol is used to make expanded polystyrene beads (56) and acrylate esters serve as pressure sensitive adhesives. 

In 1954 the surface fluorination of polyethylene sheets by using a soHd CO2 cooled heat sink was patented (44). Later patents covered the fluorination of PVC (45) and polyethylene bottles (46). Studies of surface fluorination of polymer films have been reported (47). The fluorination of polyethylene powder was described (48) as a fiery intense reaction, which was finally controlled by dilution with an inert gas at reduced pressures. Direct fluorination of polymers was achieved in 1970 (8,49). More recently, surface fluorinations of poly(vinyl fluoride), polycarbonates, polystyrene, and poly(methyl methacrylate), and the surface fluorination of containers have been described (50,51). Partially fluorinated poly(ethylene terephthalate) and polyamides such as nylon have excellent soil release properties as well as high wettabiUty (52,53). The most advanced direct fluorination technology in the area of single-compound synthesis and synthesis of high performance fluids is currently practiced by 3M Co. of St. Paul, Minnesota, and by Exfluor Research Corp. of Austin, Texas.

To produce mouldings from polystyrene with minimum strain it is desirable to inject a melt, homogeneous in its melt viscosity, at a high rate into a hot mould at an injection pressure such that the cavity pressure drops to zero as the melt solidifies. Limitations in the machines available or economic factors may, however, lead to less ideal conditions being employed.

Example 2.20 A cylindrical vessel with an outside radius of 20 mm and an inside radius of 12 mm has a radial crack 3.5 mm deep on the outside surface. If the vessel is made from polystyrene which has a critical stress intensity factor of 1.0 MN calculate the maximum permissible pressure in this vessel. 

In practice the clamping pressure will also depend on the geometry of the cavity. In particular the flow ratio (flow length/channel lateral dimension) is important. Fig. 4.42 illustrates typical variations in the Mean Effective Pressure in the cavity for different thicknesses and flow ratios. The data used here is typical for easy flow materials such as polyethylene, polypropylene and polystyrene. To calculate the clamp force, simply multiply the appropriate Mean Effective Pressure by the projected area of the moulding. In practice it is... 

Polyethylene has low density when polymerized at pressures 9,000 - 45,000 psi and high density when made with special catalysts at 250 - 500 psi. Low-density polyethylene softens 68 F lower than high-density polyethylene, which is more crystalline and stiffer. The rigidity characteristics and surface of high-density polyethylene are comparable with polystyrene. It feels like nylon, has a bursting strength three times that of low-density polyethylene, and withstands repeated exposure to 250 F, hence, it can be sterilized. 

Capture efficiency is the fraction of generated contaminant that is directly captured by the hood. Measurement of capture efficiency involves measuring concentration of process-generated contaminant or a tracer material. Using process-generated contaminant requires use of instruments suited to each specific contaminant and its conditions (temperature, pressure, concentration, form, etc.). In order to facilitate these measurements, a tracer is often substituted for the process-generated contaminant. The tracer is usually a gas (sulfur hexafluoride, nitrous oxide, helium, or similar), but an aerosol (particles) can also be used (potassium iodide, polystyrene particles, microbiological particles, etc.). The chosen tracer should be as similar to the real contaminant as possible, but at the same time should...
