Despite the absence of a chromophore capable of absorbing in the long wave ultra-violet (> 300 nm) region of the spectrum, polystyrene undergoes... 

Samples of analyte are dissolved in a suitable solvent and placed on the IR card. After the solvent evaporates, the sample s spectrum is obtained. Because the thickness of the PE or PTEE film is not uniform, the primary use for IR cards has been for qualitative analysis. Zhao and Malinowski showed how a quantitative analysis for polystyrene could be performed by adding an internal standard of KSCN to the sample. Polystyrene was monitored at 1494 cm- and KSCN at 2064 cm-. Standard solutions were prepared by placing weighed portions of polystyrene in a 10-mL volumetric flask and diluting to volume with a solution of 10 g/L KSCN in... 

Randall used C-NMR to study the methylene spectrum of polystyrene. In 1,2,4-trichlorobenzene at 120°C, nine resonances were observed. These were assumed to arise from a combination of tetrads and hexads. Using m and r notation, extend Table 7.8 to include all 20 possible hexads. Criticize or defend the following proposition Assuming that none of the resonances are obscured by overlap, there is only one way that nine methylene resonances can be produced, namely, by one of the tetrads to be split into hexads while the remaining tetrads remain unsplit.

Figure 1 shows a positive static SIMS spectrum (obtained using a quadrupole) for polyethylene over the mass range 0—200 amu. The data are plotted as secondary ion intensity on a linear y-axis as a function of their chaige-to-mass ratios (amu). This spectrum can be compared to a similar analysis from polystyrene seen in Figure 2. One can note easily the differences in fragmentation patterns between the...

The observation of the spectrum for styrene polymerized on the surface of silane-treated silica and of the difference spectrum of polystyrene adsorbed on the surface of silica have revealed that there are absorption bands of atactic polystyrene at 1602, 1493, 1453, 756, and 698 cm. The absorption bands at 1411 and 1010 cm are related to vinyl trimethoxy silane, and C of the difference spectrum is below the base line. This indicates that the vinyl groups of silane react with styrene to form a copolymer. 

Figure 10-8. Emission spectra of a free standing film of a blend system consisting of 0.9% MEH-PPV in polystyrene with ca. I011 cm 3 TiOj-particlcs. The nanoparlicles act as optical scattering centers. The emission spectrum is depicted for two different excitation pulse energies. Optical excitation was accomplished with laser pulses of duration I Ons and wavelength 532 nm (according to Ref. 171).

Dynamic differential thermal analysis is used to measure the phase transitions of the polymer. IR is used to determine the degree of unsaturation in the polymer. Monitoring of the purity and raw is done commercially using gas phase chromatography for fractionization and R1 with UV absorption at 260 nanometers for polystyrene identification and measurement Polystyrene is one of the most widely used plastics because of fabrication ease and the wide spectrum of properties possible. Industries using styrene-based plastics are packaging, appliance, construction, automotive, radio and television, furniture, toy, houseware and baggage. Styrene is also used by the military as a binder in expls and rocket propints... 

Successful combination of a chromatographic procedure for separating and isolating additive components with an on-line method for obtaining the IR spectrum enables detailed compositional and structural information to be obtained in a relatively short time frame, as shown in the case of additives in PP [501], and of a plasticiser (DEHP) and an aromatic phenyl phosphate flame retardant in a PVC fabric [502], RPLC-TSP-FTIR with diffuse reflectance detection has been used for dye analysis [512], The HPLC-separated components were deposited as a series of concentrated spots on a moving tape. HPLC-TSP-FTIR has analysed polystyrene samples [513,514], The LC Transform has also been employed for the identification of a stain in carpet yarn [515] and a contaminant in a multiwire cable [516], HPLC-FTIR can be used to maintain consistency of raw materials or to characterise a performance difference.

To demonstrate Fano-resonant behavior, a polystyrene microring resonator is nanoimprinted and two waveguide offsets are introduced in the bus waveguide, which provide partial reflection as shown in Fig. 8.22. Its spectrum is plotted in Fig. 8.23 together with the one without waveguide offsets. The slope is enhanced... 

For the distyrylbenzene carbon-centered tetramer 46b, the fluorescence spectrum in the solid him differs from the spectra in solution or in a polymer matrix due to excimer formation [93]. A concentration of 5% in a polystyrene matrix is sufficient for a distinct broadening of the emission. For the higher homologue 46c, a fluorescence maximum of 472 nm was measured in freshly prepared films. If the film is thermally annealed, the spectrum shifts to 511 nm, probably due to intermolecular arrangement that favors excimer formation. 

The spectra are very smooth when compared to the emission spectra shown for polystyrene particles in Figure 8.1. The anticipated resonances are not observed in Figure 8.23. The evaporation of the particle at room temperature is slow, but is still rapid enough that over the integration time of the detection system the resonance structure is completely washed out. Figure 8.24 shows the effect of cooling the levitating chamber to 13°C. The upper curve shows the emission spectrum of a cooled particle. The next lower curve shows a room temperature spectrum of a similar particle. The lowest... 

MALDI is the method of choice for the analysis of synthetic polymers because it usually provides solely intact and singly charged [62] quasimolecular ions over an essentially unlimited mass range. [22,23] While polar polymers such as poly(methylmethacrylate) (PMMA), [83,120] polyethylene glycol (PEG), [120,121] and others [79,122,123] readily form [M+H] or [M+alkali] ions, nonpolar polymers like polystyrene (PS) [99,100,105,106] or non-functionalized polymers like polyethylene (PE) [102,103] can only be cationized by transition metal ions in their l-t oxidation state. [99,100] The formation of evenly spaced oligomer ion series can also be employed to establish an internal mass calibration of a spectrum. [122]... 

Thermal stability. The presence of side chains, cross-linking, and benzene rings in the polymer s "backbone increase the melting temperatures. For example, a spectrum of polymers with increasing melting temperatures would be polyethylene, polypropylene, polystyrene, nylon, and polyimide.
