Solid-phase Behavior

Failure of unoriented SAN copolymers is dominated by crazing behavior. The total energy absorbed by the polymer during failure has been increased by optimizing both failure modes. Yielding can be enhanced by orienting the polymer [105], and crazing can be optimized by rubber modification. 

Semi-empirical approaches are available to predict selected solid-state properties of thermoplastics from molecular structure. Example predictions for about 30 types of thermoplastics, including SAN copolymers, may be found elsewhere [34]. 

Several other properties of copolymers that are important in specific applications have also been measured. The surface properties of polymers determine the nature of adhesives that will stick to a substrate, and the nature of solvents that will wet the surface. The surface energy of some styrene and acrylonitrile have been measured, and the surface is rich in polystyrene when the acrylonitrile content of the copolymer is below 50% [108]. 

The properties of SAN and rubber-modified SAN copolymers have also been evaluated for oriented films. Biaxial orientation can increase the glass transition temperature by up to 15 °C and decrease the water vapor transmission rate by 30% [105]. 

Other useful metrics of the optical properties of SAN copolymers are color [110], haze [111], gloss [112], and refractive index [113].

These dendritic boxes (Figure 13.7) were synthesized by the conjugation of a chiral shell of protected amino acids onto a flexible polypropylene imine) dendrimer with 64 amino end groups. In solution, the shell was highly hydrogen-bonded and dense-packed, displaying a solid-phase behavior, which was indicated by the low NMR relaxation time of the surface groups [11]. 

This will frequently be true for solid solid phase behavior too in the systems studied with Lattice Switch methods to date, the effects have proved rather small.

In Fig. 11, we draw schematically the case of fluid-solid phase behavior for the Type-I fluid mixture water-NaCl. For critical temperatures this far apart, the three-phase line Sb-L-V from the low-temperature quadruple point (where four three-phase lines meet) to the solutes triple point develops a high maximum that reaches above water s critical pressure and temperature. If a salt solution is heated at a pressure above the critical pressure of water, the vapor-liquid critical line is crossed first, and a two-phase L-V region entered. At high enough temperature the three-phase line Sb-L-V may be crossed, and solid salt will form. Thus supercritical water, fully miscible with air constituents and hydrocarbons, becomes a poor solvent for salts. 

The existence of a hollow core as well as a densely packed exterior layer in PAMAM dendrimers was proven by studying their conformational behavior [3]. Meijer et al. introduced the concept of dendritic boxes by synthesis and characterization of dendrimer with flexible core and solid shell structure. The flexible core was based on poly(propyleneimine) dendrimer. The rigid shell was obtained by modification of terminal groups with bulky amino acid derivatives, that is (r-Boc)-protected L-phenylalanine. Dendrimer structure was fully studied by H and CNMR, IR and UV techniques. Additionally, solid-phase behavior of the shell was confirmed by spin-lattice (Ti) and spin-spin (T2) relaxation measurements and molecular mechanics calculations [3,18,19]. 

Most of the envisioned practical applications for nonlinear optical materials would require solid materials. Unfortunately, only gas-phase calculations have been developed to a reliable level. Most often, the relationship between gas-phase and condensed-phase behavior for a particular class of compounds is determined experimentally. Theoretical calculations for the gas phase are then scaled accordingly. 

Solids can be crystalline, molecular crystals, or amorphous. Molecular crystals are ordered solids with individual molecules still identihable in the crystal. There is some disparity in chemical research. This is because experimental molecular geometries most often come from the X-ray dilfraction of crystalline compounds, whereas the most well-developed computational techniques are for modeling gas-phase compounds. Meanwhile, the information many chemists are most worried about is the solution-phase behavior of a compound. 

The distribution-coefficient concept is commonly applied to fractional solidification of eutectic systems in the ultrapure portion of the phase diagram. If the quantity of impurity entrapped in the solid phase for whatever reason is proportional to that contained in the melt, then assumption of a constant k is valid. It should be noted that the theoretical yield of a component exhibiting binary eutectic behavior is fixed by the feed composition and position of the eutectic. Also, in contrast to the case of a solid solution, only one component can be obtained in a pure form. 

There are many types of phase diagrams in addition to the two cases presented here these are summarized in detail by Zief and Wilcox (op. cit., p. 21). Solid-liquid phase equilibria must be determined experimentally for most binaiy and multicomponent systems. Predictive methods are based mostly on ideal phase behavior and have limited accuracy near eutectics.

The phase rule is a mathematical expression that describes the behavior of chemical systems in equilibrium. A chemical system is any combination of chemical substances. The substances exist as gas, liquid, or solid phases. The phase rule applies only to systems, called heterogeneous systems, in which two or more distinct phases are in equilibrium. A system cannot contain more than one gas phase, but can contain any number of liquid and solid phases. An alloy of copper and nickel, for example, contains two solid phases. The rule makes possible the simple correlation of very large quantities of physical data and limited prediction of the behavior of chemical systems. It is used particularly in alloy preparation, in chemical engineering, and in geology. 

A wide variety of physical properties are important in the evaluation of ionic liquids (ILs) for potential use in industrial processes. These include pure component properties such as density, isothermal compressibility, volume expansivity, viscosity, heat capacity, and thermal conductivity. However, a wide variety of mixture properties are also important, the most vital of these being the phase behavior of ionic liquids with other compounds. Knowledge of the phase behavior of ionic liquids with gases, liquids, and solids is necessary to assess the feasibility of their use for reactions, separations, and materials processing. Even from the limited data currently available, it is clear that the cation, the substituents on the cation, and the anion can be chosen to enhance or suppress the solubility of ionic liquids in other compounds and the solubility of other compounds in the ionic liquids. For instance, an increase in allcyl chain length decreases the mutual solubility with water, but some anions ([BFJ , for example) can increase mutual solubility with water (compared to [PFg] , for instance) [1-3]. While many mixture properties and many types of phase behavior are important, we focus here on the solubility of gases in room temperature IFs.

The development of water-swellable polymers depends on aspects of their synthesis, properties evaluation, optimization and correlation of these properties with synthesis conditions. Obviously, studying the behavior of SAH in contact with liquid and solid phases of the soil as well as with plants requires developing physical models and algorithms suitable for the prediction of SAH efficiency. 

Figure 8.23 (Solid + liquid) phase diagram for (. 1CCI4 +. yiCHjCN), an example of a system with large positive deviations from ideal solution behavior. The solid line represents the experimental results and the dashed line is the ideal solution prediction. Solid-phase transitions (represented by horizontal lines) are present in both CCI4 and CH3CN. The CH3CN transition occurs at a temperature lower than the eutectic temperature. It is shown as a dashed line that intersects the ideal CH3CN (solid + liquid) equilibrium line.
