The olefin-sulfur dioxide polysulfone compositons are usually light-colored, thermoplastic, amorphous products that are moldable and extrudable. The polymers are not very resistant to alkaline solutions. 

Surface chains play a fimdamental role in the interaction processes (adsorption and adhesion) of the cellulose fibrils with other molecules. Such surface interactions play a key role in many areas of science biology (interaction with the plant cell-wall polymers, adsorption of cellulolytic enzymes), industrial (paper and textile industries), and technology (compatibilization and adhesion thermoplastic amorphous matrix on cellulose). Unfortunately, very little information has yet been gathered on the organization, conformation, and dynamics of the surface chains. In fact, few experimental...

The entanglement of the polymer chains at the weld line is related to their diffusion rate, which is a function of temperature and melt viscosity of the polymer [95]. The holding pressure in the cavity and the injection speed can also affect the weld line strength [96]. Many predictive models for the weld line strength of thermoplastic amorphous polymers in relation to the viscoelastic properties and processing conditions such as the melt temperature, the mold temperature, and the holding time, have been proposed [97-99]. 

Polyamide-imides are thermoplastic amorphous polymers that possess exceptional mechanical, thermal, and chemical- and wear-resistant properties. They are inherently nonflammable, have outstanding electrical properties, and possess enormous temperature stability from cryogenic to 300°C. These properties place polyamide-imides at the top of the price and performance pyramid with polyketones and polyimides. 

Copolymerization of these cyclic olefins with ethylene or a-olefins cycloolefin copolymers (COC) can be produced, representing a new class of thermoplastic amorphous materials [217-220]. Early attempts to produce such copolymers were made using heterogeneous TiCl4/VAlEt2Cl or vanadium catalysts, but first significant progress was...

By the copolymerization of cyclic olefins such as cyclopentene or norbomene with ethene and other a-olefins, it is possible to obtain cycloolefin copolymers (COC) representing a new class of thermoplastic, amorphous materials [89, 103]. 

After Kaminsky, Brintzinger, and Ewen discovered homogeneous metallocene/ methylaluminoxane (MAO) catalysts for stereospecific a-olefin polymerizatiOTi (for reviews on olefin polymerization, see [13-21]), the first report [22, 23] rai addition cycloolefin polymerization without ROMP appeared. This stimulated a great interest in these polymers and in catalysts for cycloolefin polymerization (Fig. 1). Cycloolefins such as cyclopentene, cyclooctene, and norbomene can be polymerized via addition (Fig. 2). Polycycloolefins by metallocenes are difficult to process due to their high melting points and their low solubility in common organic solvents. However, metallocenes allow the synthesis of cyclic olefin copolymers (COC), especially of cyclopentene and norbomene with ethene or propene, which represent a new class of thermoplastic amorphous materials (Scheme 1) [24, 25]. 

Kaminsky and coworkers foxmd that copolymerization of cyclopentene or norbornene with ethylene, using various metallocene compounds activated with MAO, produced new thermoplastic amorphous materials [55] that were transparent and had high stiffness and excellent stability.

Polyamide-imides (PAIs) are thermoplastic amorphous polymers prepared by the condensation of an aromatic diamine, such as methylene diamine, and an anhydride, such as trimellitic add chloride. PAIs have good mechanical, thermal, chemical resistance, high strength, melt processability, and high heat capacity. They can be processed into a variety of forms, such as injection or compression molded articles, coatings, films, fiber, and adhesives. The typical heat deflection temperature for neat molded PAI is 278°C,but reinforcements are often used to improve mechanical properties. PAIs are generally soluble in strong aprotic solvents such as NMP and DMAc, and thus misdble blends with PBI are feasible.
