    Notes: Abstract The effectiveness of windbreaks in windspeed reduction is often evaluated without regard to the objects to be protected. In fact, many objects may have different sensitivities to wind and often require different degrees of wind protection. Since commonly used indexes do not consider the sensitivity to wind, a concept of specific protection efficiency is developed. A critical windspeed is used to represent the sensitivity of each object. Windspeeds greater than this value are considered damaging. A dimensionless protection index is defined to evaluate windbreak efficiency. The maximum index value is 1 for the highest protection, and the index is negative when sheltered windspeed is greater than the critical windspeed. This index can be compared, summed, and averaged across different windbreaks, objects, and leeward locations. A sample of critical windspeed values was compiled from the literature. The index was evaluated using actual wind data measured under both sheltered and open conditions. The results indicated that the index can be used for evaluating windbreak effectiveness in terms of objects protected under various conditions. This model could be used as a tool for windbreak-related research and policy making.

    Notes: Abstract Windspeed reduction in shelter is generally expressed relatively and is usually assumed to be independent of open windspeed. The purpose of this study was to re-examine the relationship between open windspeed and windspeed reduction in shelter using windspeeds and wind directions measured for two windbreak systems at various distances from the windbreaks and with three windbreak porosities. Optical windbreak porosities were estimated from digitized color photographs using an intelligent (trainable) image processing program. Relative windspeed reduction in shelter was found to be related to the open windspeed. There existed a threshold windspeed at approximately 5 m s−1, below which relative windspeed reduction varied but generally decreased as the open windspeed increased. Above the threshold windspeed, open windspeed did not have an effect on relative windspeed reduction in the sheltered zone. Using the threshold windspeed reduction, the authors propose an index to evaluate the effectiveness of a windbreak for the overal windspeed protection.

    Notes: A variety of blends of ABA poly(styrene-b-isoprene) copolymers with poly(2,6-dimethylphenylene oxide) were prepared. Their compatibility was examined by measuring both the apparent modulus of rigidity and the loss tangent. Several blends showed a unique glass transition temperature between those of the individual components, which indicated compatibility. It was found that only those copolymers which phase separate are compatible with poly(2,6-dimethylphenylene oxide).

    Notes: Because of their incompatibility and the different refractive indices of the homopolymer components, polyurethane/polystyrene interpenetrating polymer networks are turbid by nature. Different parameters likely to enhance their transparency are examined: the crosslink density of each network and the level of internetwork grafting. The results prove that the latter factor is the most effective, as in some cases, very clear and transparent samples are obtained. Correspondingly, preliminary investigations of the dynamic mechanical properties show an inward shift of the glass transition temperatures for such systems. It is concluded that parameters able to cause a higher degree of phase dispersion can yield transparent materials.

    Notes: The synthesis of high glass transition temperature (Tg 〉 300°C), amorphous, soluble, poly-imide oligomers of controlled molecular weight endcapped with 4-phenylethynylphthalic anhydride endcapping agent is described. The 4-phenylethynylphthalic anhydride was employed to afford a higher curing temperature (380-420°C) which widens the processing window compared to unsubstituted acetylene-endcapped polyimides. The polyimides were synthesized via solution imidization techniques, using the ester-acid of various dianhydrides and aromatic diamines. A “ one-pot” procedure utilizing NMP as the solvent and o-dichlo-robenzene as the azeotroping agent reproducibly produced fully imidized, but yet soluble wholly aromatic polyimides. Thermally cured samples were prepared with gel contents of up to 98% that displayed good solvent resistance. Glass transition temperatures comparable to high molecular weight linear analogs were produced. These polyimides also show excellent thermal stability as judged by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). Model phenylethynyl imide compounds were synthesized and used to follow and elucidate the nature of the products formed from the phenylethynyl curing by using high temperature magic-angle 13C nuclear magnetic resonance (MAS NMR). Preliminary results indicate that the cure reaction can be followed by MAS NMR. However, the nature of the products being formed during the curing process is difficult to determine by the solid-state MAS NMR alone. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) data clearly show that the model system does indeed melt and displays a wide window before the strong cure exotherm is observed. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Flue Dusts Containing Heavy Metal Ions and Chloride.I. Phase Analysis, Model Experiments for RecyclingFour flue dusts from a cement factory, an electric-furnace steelmaking plant and a municipal waste plant were analyzed by powder diffraction methods. Chloride combines above all with alkali ions or heavy metal ions, especially yielding PbCl2 and KPb2Cl5. The controlled sublimation of these chloride compounds in open crucibles was developed and optimized in our laboratory. Between 850°C and 1150°C and at reaction times from 30 min up to 12 h, the chloride content decreases to below 0.1 wt-%. The sublimed phase mainly consists of alkali and lead chloride. Zinc is found in the flue dust as oxide and is enriched during this process. Recent investigations with a small waelz kiln give analogous results. With our procedure, the manufacturer by himself is able to exploit flue dusts containing a large amount of heavy metal elements and chloride which cannot be deposited. The remaining product contains mainly zinc oxide which can be recycled in the zinc industry or returned to the production process. The sublimed chloride compounds may be recycled in the potash industry.

    Notes: Classically, the one-step synthesis of interpenetrating polymer networks (IPNs) and related materials requires noninterfering polymerization modes to achieve distinct networks, held together by only physical entanglements. For the combination of (meth) acrylic and allylic monomers, both polymerizable by free radicals, a new in situ sequential synthesis for obtaining semi-IPNs is proposed. Using specific initiators that decompose at two different temperatures, refractive index measurements, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and dynamic mechanical analysis have shown that neat species are formed and that the two monomers do not copolymerize. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: The mechanical behavior of polyurethane-poly(methyl methacrylate) interpenetrating polymer networks (PUR/PAc IPN's) was investigated. Stress-strain and impact resistance measurements were made on IPN's with a variable PUR content. The effect of the degree of crosslinking of each network on the mechanical properties was also studied. It appears that only the ultimate elongation varies largely upon changing the crosslink degree. The results are interpreted in terms of the contribution of each network to the mechanical behavior, but also by the interpenetration of both components and by the phase continuity of the PAc network.

    Notes: Star-shaped block copolymers were used as heat activated adhesives in glass to glass joints. The branches consisted in either AB or ABA poly(styrene-b-isoprene) block copolymers. Tensile shear strengths of simple lap joints were measured for star block copolymers differing in the length or in the number of branches. Values higher than those of the corresponding linear species were obtained. These results were related to the presence of chemical junction points created by coupling the linear copolymers.
