Influence of molecular parameters on the elongational behaviour of different polyethylenes and their blends

1988

Elongational data on a large number of polyethylene samples with different structures and their blends are presented in order to evaluate the influence of the molecular weight and molecular weight distribution for a given degree of long chain branching. The elongational viscosity rises with the number of branch points and also with molecular weight and molecular weight distribution. Simple relationships between elongational viscosity at a given deformation and molecular parameters are presented.

Rapid fluorimetric assay for primary amine groups in water samples

2003

Bond Elut C(18) solid-phase extraction cartridges were used for pre-concentration followed by derivatization with o-phthaldialdehyde-N-acetylcysteine (OPA-NAC) of primary amines in water. Optimal conditions were: conditioning the cartridges with borate buffer pH 10.4, retention of the primary amines, addition of the OPA-NAC(3.7 mmol L(-1)) 1:1 molar ratio and borate buffer pH 8, elution of the isoindol with MeOH-borate buffer (9:1) pH 10.2 and fluorescence measurement. The equations of the calibration graphs for methylamine, ethylamine, propylamine, butylamine, pentylamine, and beta-phenylethylamine at lambda(excitation)=330 nm and lambda(emission)=440 nm, in the optimal conditions are pres…

45 g of poly(acrylic acid) (PAA 500) with a trimodal molar mass distribution (Mw = 500 kg/mol, (Mw/Mn) −1 = 2.33) were fractionated by means of CPF (continuous polymer fractionation) in two steps using 1,4-dioxane as solvent. The counter-current extraction was performed in a glass column (length: 190 cm, diameter: 1.5 cm) filled with a network of wires, introducing the feed 75 cm from its upper end. The distribution of the highest molar mass fraction (Mw = 760 kg/mol) is unimodal and comparatively narrow ((Mw/Mn) −1 = 0.66). Indications exits that fractionation is not only taking place with respect to molar mass but also with respect to tacticity. Mit Hilfe der kontinuierlichen Polymerfrakt…

Polyfunctional chloroformates were applied to the polymerization of 2-phenyl-2-oxazoline and 2-methyl-2-oxazoline. The use of a trifunctional initiator, viz. the chloroformate of 2,2-bis(hydroxymethyl)-1-butanol, led to three-arm star polymers of 2-oxazolines. Two macromolecular initiators, viz. poly(ethylene oxide) with two chloroformate end groups (α-chloroformyl-ω-chloroformyloxypoly(oxyethylene)) with number-average molar masses 350 g/mol ≤ Mn ≤ 6000 g/mol and α-chloroformyl-ω-methoxypoly(oxyethylene) with Mn = 350 and 750 g/mol were applied for the synthesis of poly(2-oxazoline)-block-poly(ethylene oxide)-block-poly(2-oxazoline) and poly(2-oxazoline)-block-poly(ethylene oxide) copolyme…

Samples of ring and open chain polystyrene in dilute perdeuterated toluene solution were measured by small angle neutron scattering up to a value of the scattering vector Q = 2 nm−1. The molar masses 12000 ≤ M/(g/mol) ≤ 22000, the mean square radii of gyration 〈R2〉 and the second virial coefficients A2 of the samples were determined. The results are compared to theories which describe the dependencies 〈R2〉 = f(M) and A2 = f(M) for both cyclic and linear chain molecules. A qualitative agreement between theory and experiment is obtained.

Refractive Indices and Deviations in Refractive Indices of Trifluoromethanesulfonate-Based Ionic Liquids in Water

2011

Refractive indices were determined for four different ionic liquid + water binary systems, from (288.15 to 338.15) K, and covering the entire composition range. The four ionic liquids used were 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium trifluoromethanesulfonate, 3-butyl-1-ethylimidazolium trifluoromethanesulfonate, 3-butyl-1-methylimidazolium trifluoromethanesulfonate, and 1-butyl-1-methylpyrrolidinium trifluoromethanesulfonate, all of them being completely miscible in water. From the experimental data, deviations in refractive indices, defined on a volume fraction basis, have been calculated and fitted to an extended version of the Redlich–Kister equation. The behavior of the deviations in refractive in…

Anionische Polymerisation in Schwach Solvatisierenden Lösungsmitteln

2007

The anionic polymerization of styrene initiated by cumylsodium and carried out in cumyl methyl ether has been examined with use of conversion kinetics and molecular weight distribution. The solvent has a weaker solvation power than THF and THP, which have been studied with the same experimental technique. The polymerization rate is first order relative to monomer and the rate constant has a value of ca. 1 mole−1 1. sec.−1 at − 20.5°C. The constant is only slightly dependent on the initiator concentration, but the molecular weight distribution is broader than a Poisson function. Added electrolyte has little effect on the propagation constant but it greatly alters the molecular weight distrib…

Bestimmung der molekularen konstanten von naturkautschuk III. Molekulargewicht trägheitsradius und thermodynamische eigenschaften von cyclohexan-kaut…

1960

Lichtstreuungsmessungen an Crepekautschuk in Cyclohexan ergeben Mw = 1,85·106. In Verbindung mit Diffusions- und Sedimentationsmessungen ergibt sich als wahrscheinlichster Wert Mw = 1,7·10−6. Unter Verwendung der Messungen von CARTER, SCOTT und MAGAT wird als Molekulargewichts-Viskositatsbeziehung die Gleichung fur Losungen von Naturkautschuk in Cyclohexan vorgeschlagen. Der 2. Virialkoeffizient und der STAUDINGER-Index nehmen in der Reihenfolge Benzol, Cyclohexen, Cyclohexan zu. Die beiden ersten Losungsmittel sind endotherm, Cyclohexan ist exotherm. Der Tragheitsradius der Molekulknael nach Lichtstreuungsmessungen ist etwa Rw = 1000 A. Der wahrscheinlichste Wert unter Mitberucksichtigung …

The initial stages of the heterogeneous degradation of alkali cellulose by oxygen in relation to the morphology of native cotton cellulose

2007

Treatment of cotton cellulose with sodium hydroxide solutions of varying concentration over extended periods in the absence of oxygen markedly decreases the intrinsic viscosity of both the cellulose in cuoxam and its cellulose trinitrate derivative (CTN) in acetone. Light-scattering measurements show that the molecular weight does not change while the radius of gyration decreases and the second virial coefficient increases. The narrow molecular weight distribution of the native cotton is still maintained. Mild oxidation first causes the intrinsic viscosity to increase. At more prolonged oxidation times the viscosity decreases. These results are interpreted by an intramolecular cross-linking…

Density, Speed of Sound, Viscosity, and Excess Properties of Binary Mixtures Formed by Ethanol and Bis(trifluorosulfonyl)imide-Based Ionic Liquids

2015

In this work, viscosities, densities, and speeds of sound of three binary mixtures containing the ionic liquids 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide, [emim][NTf2], 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide, [bmim][NTf2], and 1-hexyl-3-methylimidazo-lium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide, [hmim][NTf2], mixed with ethanol were measured at atmospheric pressure in the range of (278.15 to 338.15) K, covering the entire range of compositions. From these experimental data, the excess isentropic compressibility and molar isentropic compressibility of pure components and mixtures have been calculated. Additionally, excess properties, such as viscosity dev…
