Interpolymer complexes and polymer compatibility.

2012

A reliable method to decide whether two polymers A and B are miscible or incompatible would be very helpful in many ways. In this contribution we demonstrate why traditional procedures cannot work. We propose to use the intrinsic viscosities [η] of the polymer blends instead of the composition dependence of the viscosities as a criterion for polymer miscibility. Two macromolecules A and B are miscible because of sufficiently favorable interactions between the two types of polymer segments. For solutions of these polymers in a joint solvent, this Gibbs energetic preference of dissimilar intersegmental contacts should prevail upon dilution and lead to the formation of interpolymer complexes, …

Synthesis of polyvinyl acetate-graft-poly-2-oxazolines

1994

Poly(vinyl acetate-co-vinyl chloroformate) (1) was synthesized via phosgenation of poly(vinyl acetate-co-vinyl alcohol). It was shown that (1) is capable of initiating the polymerization of 2-phenyl-2-oxazoline and 2-methyl-2-oxazoline, when the counter ion is exchanged using potassium iodide. Polyvinyl acetate-graft-poly-2-phenyl-2-oxazoline and polyvinyl acetate-graft-poly-2-methyl-2-oxazoline are obtained in the grafting reaction.

Stimuli-Responsive Y-Shaped Polymer Brushes Based on Junction-Point-Reactive Block Copolymers

2012

Reversibly responsive, thin or ultrathin polymer fi lms, often referred to as “smart surfaces”, can alter their properties upon application of external stimuli. [ 1 , 2 ] One particular application fi eld represents the engineering of nanostructured fi lms mimicking cell membranes. [ 3 , 4 ] Such materials offer application potential for sensors, textiles, construction materials, and smart coatings due to a rapid change in surface energy and morphology. [ 5–7 ] The surface response can be triggered by various external stimuli such as light, temperature, electrical potential, mechanical force, magnetic fi eld, pH change, or selective solvent treatment. [ 1 , 8–12 ] A variety of different thi…

Localized surface plasmon resonance sensor based on Ag-PVA nanocomposite thin films

2009

In this work we demonstrate the use of nanocomposite thin films of poly(vinyl alcohol) with embedded silver NPs for chemosensing purposes. Silver NPs are in situ synthesized inside polyvinyl alcohol during the bake step of the formation of a nanocomposite thin film. The polymer in the nanocomposite provides an appropriate chemical and electromagnetic environment for metal NPs in order to interact with and hence detect the chemical species. A limit of detection below 20 nM is found when detecting 2-mercaptoethanol as the analyte, when measuring spectral changes (peak wavelength, linewidth and intensity) in the Localized Surface Plasmon Resonance. Potential qualitative and semi-quantitative s…

Polymers, Ferroelectric Liquid Crystalline Elastomers

2002

Ferroelectric materials are a subclass of pyro- and piezoelectric materials. They are very rarely found in crystalline organic or polymeric materials because ferroelectric hysteresis requires enough molecular mobility to reorient molecular dipoles in space. So semicrystalline polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) is nearly the only known compound. On the contrary, ferroelectric behavior is very often observed in chiral liquid crystalline materials, both low molar mass and polymeric. Ferroelectric LC-elastomers represent an interesting class of material because they combine the ordering of liquid crystalline ferroelectric phases and the rubber elasticity of polymer networks. Switching of the electr…

Gelchromatographie. 1. Mitt. Trennung von oligomeren

1966

Vernetzte Polymere werden hergestellt und ihre Eignung zur gelchromatographischen Trennung von Gemischen von Oligomeren gepruft; im einzelnen wurden untersucht: mit Isocyanaten modifiziertes Sephadex; Polymethyl-und Polybutylmethacrylat, vernetzt mit Glykoldimethacrylat bzw. mit Polyathylenoxid-dimethacrylat; Polyvinylacetat, vernetzt mit n-Butandioldivinylather; Polystrol, vernetzt mit Divinylbenzol; ferner Silicagel. Der Einflus der Molekulgestalt auf das Elutionsvolumen wurde gepruft. Die Elutionsvolumina von p-Oligophenylenen, die eine stabchenformige Molekulgestalt besitzen, sind groser als die von Oligourethanen gleichen Molekulargewichts; o- und m-gewinkelte Oligophenylene zeigen geg…

In order to investigate the influences of different end-groups on oligomer miscibility with other substances, oligo(propylene glycol)s bearing OH groups (OPG-OH) studied in the previous paper2, were acetylated at both ends (OPG-AC). The limits of miscibility of OPG-AC with oligo(dimethylsiloxane) (ODMS) were measured turbidimetrically. A simple and reliable method for the determination of the critical points from turbidity data is presented. The observed upper critical temperatures (Tc) increase with degree of oligomerization of ODMS (ranging from 1 to 5), whereas Tc shows a minimum when the degree of oligomerization of the OPG-AC is raised (from 1 to 57,5). For lower mol. wt. oligoglycols,…

Über die temperaturabhängigkeit einiger übertragungskonstanten der radikalischen polymerisation von vinylacetat über die verzweigung des polyvinylace…

1964

Die Aktivierungsenergie der Ubertragungsreaktion zwischen wachsendem Polyvinylacetat und Vinylacetat bzw. Athylacetat wird aus kinetischen Messungen im Temperaturbereich von 20–60°C ermittelt. Es ergeben sich 3,15 bzw. 3,45 kcal/Mol. Hieraus kann abgeleitet werden, das die relative Ubertragungsreaktion zwischen radikalisch wachsendem und „totem” Polyvinylacetat der Gleichung log Cp = −;1,54–723/T gehorcht. Die relative Geschwindigkeitskonstante der Endgruppenverzweigung ist kurzlich von D. J. STEIN(4) bestimmt worden und kann als unabhangig von der Temperatur angesehen werden. Damit ist es moglich, die Gesamtverzweigung des Polyvinylacetats als Funktion der Temperatur und des Umsatzes zu be…

Darstellung von block- und pfropf-copolymeren des trioxane. 25. Mitt. Über polyoxymethylene

1965

Die kationische Polymerisation von Trioxan wird durch makromolekulare Verbindungen mit reaktionsfahigen COC-Gruppen wie Polyvinylacetat (PVA), Polyathylenterephthalat (PET), Poly-1,3-dioxolan oder Polyvinylbultyral (PVB) ubertragen. Dabei entstehen je nach der Art des makromolekularen Ubertragers Pfropf-Copolymere, Block-Copolymere oder vernetzte Copolymere. Die Produkte sind uberwiegend thermisch stabil. Bei der kationischen Polymerisation von Trioxan mus auch eine Ubertragung an den Acetalgruppen des Polyoxymethylens erwartet werden. Polymeric compounds with reactive COC groups such as polyvinyl acetate (PVA), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), poly-1,3-dioxolane or polyvinyl butyral (PVB)…

Optimising Lactic Acid Cheese Packaging Systems

2016

On the basis of a previous research, it seems that foil-wrapped tray solutions are not particularly chosen by lactic acid cheese consumers. With relation to this study, almost half of the respondent population would have expressed the desire of different packages. Parchment packages and poly(ethylene-co-vinyl acetate)/polyvinylidene chloride/poly(ethylene-co-vinyl acetate) laminates would be removed by 25.0 and 12.5% of customers, respectively. Polyamide/polyethylene double and single packaging would be removed from the market only by 5.0% of respondents. Data have shown that cheese and packaging quality are dependent on lactic acid cheese surface microflora. The type of this microflora is …
