    Notes: Previous attempts to prepare monodisperse styrene/sodium styrene sulfonate copolymer latexes by batch, seeded, and semicontinuous emulsion polymerization were unsuccessful at high concentrations of the functional comonomer. Broad, and sometimes bimodal, size distributions, and large amounts of water soluble homopolymer were obtained. After removal of free monomer, solute and adsorbed homopolymer and copolymer, the overall incorporation of the functional comonomer was found to be low. To overcome these problems, a two stage “shot-growth” or in situ seeding technique was developed. A first stage copolymerization was carried out with a low concentration of sodium styrene sulfonate: the purpose of the functional comonomer was to enhance the stability and regulate the size of the seed particles. When this reaction had reached high conversion (〉 90%), a second stage monomer mixture was added. The ratio of styrene to sodium styrene sulfonate in this mixture determined the final surface charge density. The mechanism by which the NaSS is incorporated in the polymer particles is considered to be by solution copolymerization with solute styrene monomer to form surface active oligoradicals. These radicals adsorb on the particle surface, initiate polymerization and become inextricably bound, preventing their transfer back to the aqueous phase. By this means, it was possible to vary independently the particle size and surface charge density. High concentrations of functional comonomer could be polymerized without undue wastage (incorporations were only slightly less than 100%) or loss of monodispersity. In extreme cases, the area per functional group fell below the theoretical minimum, indicating considerable hydration of the surface layers.

    Notes: A computer simulation model was developed to analyze the reaction injection molding (RIM) process of polyurethane and unsaturated polyester blends. The reaction kinetics and viscosity functions of each component were obtained through actual experiments, and a mathematical scheme for numerical calculation was set up in cylindrical coordinates to predict the temperature and conversion profiles within a disc-type mold. The temperature change calculated from the simulation was compared with the temperature rise measured in actual RIM experiments. The effects of the feed temperature, wall temperature, and catalyst levels on the maximum exothermic temperature and the demolding time were evaluated in a search for the optimum processing conditions.

    Notes: Sulfonated polystyrene latex particles were used as acid catalysts in the continuous inversion of sucrose at 50-70°C. The particles (surface charge 168 μeq/g) were confined in a stirred reactor with a semipermeable membrane; sucrose solution was pumped in, and product solution was pumped out. The catalytic activity of the particles was unchanged after 20 days continuous use. Variation of particle size (0.13 and 0.42 μm) and stirring rate showed that internal and external mass transfer was not a controlling factor. The kinetics were pseudo-first-order; the rate constant at 70°C was 2.30/N min as compared with 0.07/N min for macroporous sulfonated ion-exchange resin; the apparent activation energy was 111 kJ/mol as compared with 121 kJ/mol for the homogeneous acid-catalyzed reaction. The faster rate was attributed to the very great surface area, high charge density, and lack of internal diffusional resistance of the latex particles. The proposed mechanism comprised adsorption of sucrose on the particle surface, followed by inversion and desorption of product.

    Notes: A carrier-supported mycelial growth of Penicillium chrysogenum was applied to penicillin fermentation system using celite as a support material. Hyphal growth through the pore matrices of the material showed strong anchorages and provided highly stable biofilm growth. With bioparticles developed in such a manner, both cell growth and penicillin production were observed to increase significantly compared to the conventional dispersed filamentous cultures. Maximum values of specific penicillin production rate were found to be constant regardless of the growth form. A three-phase fluidized-bed fermentor was designed and tested for penicillin production using the bioparticles. Two modes of operation, semicontinuous and repeated fed batch, of the fermentor were tried. It was noted that the overgrowth of free mycelia and the development of fluffy loose bioparticles caused poor mixing and made the fermentor operation quite difficult. Control of the bioparticle size and the extension of production phase were therefore considered important to maintain the reactor productivity at a desired level. From the results of repeated fed-batch operation it was found that the control of bioparticle size could be successfully achieved by phosphate-limiting culture condition. Penicillin production under this condition was also observed to be maintained at a high level (about 80% of the maximum) for at least 1 month.

    Notes: Poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) is shown to be miscible with styrene/acrylonitrile copolymers (SAN) having AN compositions from 11.5 to 26%. Blend samples were prepared using several methods, including solution casting, melt mixing, and precipitation of solutions by a nonsolvent. It is shown that the blend phase behavior is affected by preparation method due to the solvent effect, or Δχ effect, and lower critical solution temperature (LCST) behavior. The intramolecular repulsion between styrene and acrylonitrile units in SAN is shown to be the cause of miscibility using heats of mixing obtained from low-molecular-weight analog compounds. An FTIR analysis supplements the above results.

    Notes: Styrene/maleic anhydride (SMA) and styrene/acrylonitrile (SAN) copolymers have previously been shown to form miscible blends when the MA and AN contents do not differ too greatly. It is shown here that this is the result of a weak exothermic interaction between the MA and AN units by measuring the heats of mixing for appropriate liquid analogs of the various monomer units. The region of copolymer compositions for miscibility of SMA-SAN blends is predicted from the Sanchez-Lacombe mixture theory using net interaction parameters calculated from the analog calorimetry results via a simple binary interaction model for copolymers. Lower critical solution temperature behavior was observed for blends of copolymers having compositions near the edge of the miscibility region. Various glass transition, volumetric, and FTIR results are discussed in terms of the interactions observed.

    Notes: The mechanical properties of polyurethane-unsaturated polyester interpenetrating polymer networks (IPNs) that were prepared by reaction injection molding (RIM) process were measured with variations In composition, cross-link density, and relative reaction rate. From dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA), it was found that the two component polymers had a good compatibility over the whole composition range. The tensile strengths of the blends were greater than those of the pure components and had a maximum value at 50/50 composition. The modulus of elasticity and surface hardness decreased and the impact strength increased as the polyurethane content was increased, but the changes were not high at low polyurethane content, below 50%. For higher cross-link density, the compatibility was enhanced and the mechanical properties were improved. When the reaction rates of the components were different, some extent of phase separation was found in DMA and the properties were affected adversely.

    Notes: Poly(vinyl chloride), PVC, is shown to be miscible with an α-methyl styrene/acrylonitrile copolymer, αMSAN, containing 30 percent AN by weight using differential scanning calorimetry for blends prepared by several methods. Melt blending gave single Tg mixtures; whereas, solution techniques gave results that depended on the solvent choice and the manner in which it was removed. These blends do not phase separate on heating prior to significant PVC decomposition (∼250°C) in contrast to PVC/SAN blends which have much lower cloud points. Repulsion between α-methyl styrene and acrylonitrile units in the copolymer is the principal cause for miscibility of this system as shown by an analysis based on a binary interaction model using calorimetry data for low molecular weight liquid analog compounds.
