Tough window

Epoxy resins for printed circuits, castings, rocket motor casings, coatings, and adhesives are almost all made from bisphenol A. Polycarbonates based on bisphenol A are used in glazing applications such as aircraft windows, school windows, and other areas where a combination of toughness and high clarity are required. 

Low-level incorporation of IPA (5-10 mol %) widens the processing window by lowering the melting point of the polyester while also retaining the crystallinity, Tg and toughness of the PCT homopolymer. At higher IPA incorporation levels, chain crystallization is severely restricted so that at 35 mol % of IPA and higher, the amorphous copolyesters do not crystallize without the addition of an added nucleator [55-59],... 

Tough, he snapped at himself. He had to get up. Priority number one was establishing where he d been taken, so he lurched straight to the window. He didn t even think about getting dressed and just kept his eyes clear of the wounds weeping through his fried skin. 

Instead, these tough convicts all had profound religious experiences. One of the toughest of them told me about when he took psilocybin. He had a vision of Christ and he helped Christ carry his cross towards Calvary. Then he said that after the vision stopped, "I looked out of the window and all my life came before my eyes, and I said, What a waste Well, that was the turning point in this person s experiences. He and other tough guys started an organization within the walls to continue with their own rehabilitation and the rehabilitation of others. 

Saran (Dow polyvinylidene dichloride) is a tough, chemically resistant plastic available in a variety of forms that are useful in the laboratory. Saran pipe or tubing can easily be welded to itself or sealed to glass and is useful for handling corrosive solutions. Thin Saran film, available commercially as a packaging material, is useful for windows, support films, etc. Mylar (du Pont polyethylene terephthalate) film and other polyester films are also useful for these purposes. Mylar is chemically inert and has excellent electrical properties for electrical insulation and for use as a dielectric medium in capacitors. Much thinner than these are films that can be made in the laboratory by allowing a dilute ethylene dichloride solution of Formvar (polyvinyl acetal) to spread on a water surface and dry. 

The major use of vinyl chloride (also known as vinyl chloride monomer, VCM) is in the production of the ubiquitous plastic, PVC or polyvinylchloride, which began to be used in the 1940s. This polymer is used in a wide variety of products ranging from cling film, bottles, car components, pipes, electrical insulation, and window frames. Unfortunately, vinyl chloride, which is used to make the plastic, is a hazardous chemical. For this reason and because PVC is an organochlorine compound, it has received a bad press. It has important properties, however, such as flexibility, toughness, and durability, that make it an extremely useful and versatile material. 

Orientation of styrene-based copolymers is usually carried out at temperatures just above T. BiaxiaUy oriented films and sheet are of particular interest. Such orientation increases tensile properties, flexibility, toughness, and shrinkability. PS produces particularly clear and sparkling film after being oriented biaxiaHy for envelope windows, decoration tapes, etc. Oriented films and sheet of styrene-based polymers are made by the bubble process and by the flat-sheet or tentering process. Eibers and films can be produced by uniaxial orientation (237) (see Eilmand SHEETING materials).
