Temperature minimum film

Various thermal material properties (as opposed to thermal stability. Chapter 9) are discussed in Chapter 16. These include coefficient of expansion, melting temperature, Vicat softening point, heat deflection/distortion temperature by thermomechanical analysis, also brittleness temperature, minimum filming temperature, delamination temperature, meltflow index, heat of volatilisation, thermal conductivity, specific heat and ageing in air.

There are three basic operating characteristics that need to be considered in the bearing design and limited in order to insure satisfactory operation. These are maximum pad temperature, minimum film thickness, and peak oil film pressure [7]. The last two of these are difficult to measure due to the lack of simple and robust sensors and problems with their mounting. Test data available on film thickness and pressure is limited. Film pressures were... 

T and are the glass-transition temperatures in K of the homopolymers and are the weight fractions of the comonomers (49). Because the glass-transition temperature is directly related to many other material properties, changes in T by copolymerization cause changes in other properties too. Polymer properties that depend on the glass-transition temperature include physical state, rate of thermal expansion, thermal properties, torsional modulus, refractive index, dissipation factor, brittle impact resistance, flow and heat distortion properties, and minimum film-forming temperature of polymer latex... 

From the electron micrographs, assuming that PVAc particles in the latex are the same size, the formation model of the porous film from the latex film can be illustrated as in Fig. 3 [19]. When the latex forms a dried film over minimum film-forming temperature, it is concluded that PVA coexisted in the latex and is not excluded to the outside of the film during filming, but is kept in spaces produced by the close-packed structure of PVAc particles.

Specifications and Standards. Borax stability is an important property in adhesives, paper, and textile applications. Ollier emulsion properties tabulated by manufacturers include tolerance to specific solvents, surface tension, minimum film-forming temperature, dilution stability, freeze-thaw stability, percent soluble polymer, and molecular weight. 

The minimum film temperatures (MFT) were determined using a MFT tester which consists of a graduated grooved metal temperature bar (13). Crack points were the highest temperatures at which visual discontinuities were present. The knife point MFT was the minimum temperature at which the film first exhibited continuity while being scrapped from low to high temperature. 

The surface characteristics of a two-stage polymer were compared against those of a corresponding blend and copolymer latex by minimum film temperature analysis (11) (Table XVI). 

Transmission and scanning electron microscopy, differential scanning calorimetry and minimum film temperature analysis supports a core/shell morphology for the two-stage latex polymers, consisting predominantly of a polystyrene rich core surrounded by a soft acrylic rich shell. 

The freeze/thaw (F/T) stability of a polymer emulsion serves as a macroscopic probe for investigating the properties of the average particle in a polymer emulsion. A review of the factors which contribute to this stability is included. A study of styrene-ethyl acrylate-methacrylic acid polymers shows the existence of a minimum in the plot of minimum weight percent acid required for F/T stability vs. the minimum film formation temperature (MFT) of the polymer. This is considered to be a function of both the amount of associated surfactant and the minimum acid content. Thus, both the type of surfactant and the copolymer ratio—i.e., MFT—play major roles. Chain transfer between radicals and polyether surfactant resulting in covalently bonded surfactant-polymer combinations is important in interpreting the results. 

Minimum Film Formation Temperature (MFT). Equipment described by Protzman and Brown (24) was built, calibrated, and used for all measurements. A series of 25% emulsions, adjusted to pH 9.5 with NH3, was used throughout unless otherwise indicated.
