Super drawing

As mentioned before, the conventional drawing process leads to the well-known fibrillar structure, which still contains a majority of folded chains (Fig. 19.14). In drawing above the "natural" draw ratio further unfolding takes place. Such a process at very high draw ratios must be conducted with the utmost care since critical concentrations of stress on the folded chain surface of the crystal blocks must be avoided they lead to fracture. The super-drawing can be carried out in one and two stages. 

The two-stage super-drawing consists of a normal fast drawing process as a first stage, followed by a second stage a slow drawing process to very high draw ratios.

Asahi Chemical recently announced a new technology for the super drawing of Tenac polyacetal resin. A 20 fold draw in length results in a 20 fold increase in tensile strength and a 10 fold increase in modulus. This technology is the subject of several patents (22).

In examining a crystalline structure as revealed by diffraction experiments it is all too easy to view the crystal as a static entity and focus on what may be broadly termed attractive intermolecular interactions (dipole-dipole, hydrogen bonds, van der Waals etc., as detailed in Section 1.8) and neglect the actual mechanism by which a crystal is formed, i.e. the mechanism by which these interactions act to assemble the crystal from a non-equilibrium state in a super-saturated solution. However, it is very often nucleation phenomena that are ultimately responsible for the observed crystal structure and hence we were careful to draw a distinction between solution self-assembly and crystallisation at the beginning of this chapter. For example paracetamol, when crystallised from acetone solution gives the stable monoclinic crystal form I, but crystallisation from a molten sample in the absence of solvent... 

There is always a temptation to be a super-perfectionist and insist that, if there is even the slightest difference, you want to know about it. However, if you set the detection limit to an excessively low value, the necessary sample size will probably escalate to something unmanageable We have to accept that we cannot detect infinitesimally small effects and we must draw the limit at some reasonable point.

Polymer entanglement has been an important concept governing the physical properties of polymers. For example, UHMW-PE single-crystalline materials can be super-drawn up to a draw ratio of 300.30 This high drawability is assumed to be due to the existence of entanglement.31 The first evaluation of entanglement was offered by Porter and Johnson for the MW dependence of melt viscosity and the polymer concentration dependence for the solution viscosity.32 33... 

A turning point in the revival of interest in strong acid chemistry was a publication in 1968 in which ionization of the C-H bonds of the extraordi-norily unreactive "lower poroffins" methane and ethane In HS03F-Sbp5 at 50°C was reported (14). The propiosed mechanism (Scheme 2) proposes the existence, in super acid solution, of protonated alkanes or pentacoordinoted ions, at least as possible transition states, and attempts quite logically to draw a parallelism between the presence of such species in solution chemistry... 

On a white board or flip chart, draw nine boxes arranged in a 3x3 matrix. Label the bottom row of boxes (from left to right) Past, Present, Future. Label the far left boxes (from top to bottom) Super-system. System, Subsystem (Exhibit 6.2). 

In the present dimension (middle column), fill in the super-system and subsystem boxes above and below the center box. You can write (or draw) more than one item in each box.

The classic researches of Wallace Hume Carothers on polymer synthesis started in the Du Pont (USA) in 1928 and bulk scale production of nylon 6 and nylon 6,6 started in 1939. J.R.Whinfield and J.T.Dickson discovered polyester in 1941 and was commercially manufactured by 1954. Yam texturising and spin draw yams produced at super high speeds have further increase the popularity of synthetic fibres [75, 76]. Polyster fibre accounts for more than 50% of the total synthetic fibre production. 

Many other high volume consumer products make use of one or more core layers with absorbent properties. Among the most quickly and highly developed applications are baby diapers, which use super absorbent fibers. Super absorbent polymer (SAP) molecules can trap and hold hundreds to thousands of times their own weight in fluid, ultimately forming a gel. The super absorbent core layer in a diaper is between a non-woven cover stock, a one or two layer non-woven fluff/pulp sheet that takes up, distributes, and draws liquid into the core, and a microporous back sheet. In addition, elastomeric materials and waterproof elements are incorporated. The super absorbent core not only stores liquid but actively pulls moisture out of the damp or even wet fluff/ pulp, thus leaving the contact areas soft and dry. 

The method used to draw stereoisomers of this type is to first draw one isomer in the Fischer projection. Then we draw its mirror image and see if they are super-imposable, if they are not, they are stereoisomers, specifically enantiomers (see structures I and II of Fig. 2). Then we switch the first left hand group with the first right hand group and compare it with the original structure to see if they are superimposable. If they are not superimposable, they are stereoisomers (compare structure I with structure III in Fig. 2). We continue this process with all the chiral centers until we reach the other end of the molecule.
