Production of polymer films

World production of polymer film materials of anticorrosion purposes has been characterized in recent decades by a stable tendency to growth. To date engineering has adopted a vast range of polymer anticorrosion films in various technical domains. [Pg.81]

The film blowing process is a widely used technology for the production of polymer films. With the aim to imderstand more deeply the relationship between... [Pg.1571]

The cleaning or depassivation eflect is of great importance in sonoelectrochemistry, as it can be employed to wash off surface-adsorbed species and reduce blocking of the electrode by adsorption of reaction products. This eflect has been reported, for example, for the depassivation of iron electrodes and for the removal of deposits and in the presence of polymer films on the electrode surface. However, damage of the electrode surface, especially for materials of low hardness such as lead or copper, can also occur under harsh experimental conditions and applied intensities [70, Tf, 80]. [Pg.1943]

Solution Casting. The production of unsupported film and sheet by solution casting has generally passed from favor and is used only for special polymers not amenable to melt processes. The use of solvents was generally very hazardous because of their flammabiUty or toxic nature. The cost of recovery and disposal of solvents became prohibitive for many lower price film appHcations. The nature of the drying operations leads to problems with solvent migration and retention that are not problems with melt-processed polymers. [Pg.381]

Microelectronic circuits for communications. Controlled permeability films for drug delivery systems. Protein-specific sensors for the monitoring of biochemical processes. Catalysts for the production of fuels and chemicals. Optical coatings for window glass. Electrodes for batteries and fuel cells. Corrosion-resistant coatings for the protection of metals and ceramics. Surface active agents, or surfactants, for use in tertiary oil recovery and the production of polymers, paper, textiles, agricultural chemicals, and cement. [Pg.167]

Polyethylene. The most straightforward process for the production of polymers from ethylene is that of the direct polymerization of the olefin. The polymerization process usually requires pressures and temperatures of 15,000 to 30,000 pounds per square inch and 200° to 300° C., and may be effected in either gas or liquid phase reactions (9). The polymer of molecular weight above 20,000 is the white, translucent plastic, polyethylene, widely used in electrical insulation, packaging material for foods, cosmetics and pharmaceuticals, liners for paper bags, etc. Articles molded from polyethylene are semirigid or rigid, depending on their thickness, but in thin films the material has excellent flexibility, even at relatively low temperatures. [Pg.313]

An empirical relationship has been shown between the contact angles for wettability of a polymer film and the degree to which photooxidation products have accumulated in the surface layers of the film. Changes in wettability of polymer films during photooxidation are markedly dependent on the nature of the polymer. In the detection and identification of the earliest processes and products of surface photooxidation, the wettability method is far more sensitive than the infrared transmission or attenuated reflectance spectra and is about as sensitive but more specific than the ultraviolet transmission spectrum. Contact angle measurements themselves can be used as leads in the selection of solvents for the separation and identification of photooxidation products formed in the surface layers of a polymer film and are potentially useful in establishment of rates of specific processes. [Pg.91]

Application Production of polymer-grade terephthalic acid (MTA). MTA is an excellent raw material to produce polyethylene tereph-thalate resin (PET), which is used for engineering plastics, packaging materials—like bottles and other food containers—as well as films. Also, integrated polyester producers use MTA to make various types of fibers. [Pg.113]
