    Notes: Fluorescence spectroscopy has been employed to monitor the mixing of polymer melts with filler material. The polymer melts were low molecular weight polybutadiene and PBAN, a terpolymer consisting of 85% butadiene, 11% acrylonitrile, 4% acrylic acid, and the filler material was aluminum oxide. To carry out the fluorescence observations, a dopant chromophore was mixed into the polymer melt at very low concentrations, 10-4 to 10-6 molar or 11 to 0.11 ppm by weight. The mixing experiments were carried out using a small laboratory mixer which had glass walls for viewing the fluorescence spectra from the dopant chromophore. Fluctuations in fluorescence intensity were observed to decrease as a function of mixing time indicating that the spatial distribution of the fluorescent chromophores was becoming more uniform. Concerning the mixing of polymer melt and filler, we hypothesize that uniform mixing of ingredients is achieved when fluorescence intensity as a function of time is constant. In order to obtain quantitative support for this hypothesis, we used a fluorescence microscope to measure fluorescence intensity and optical transmittance from microscopic regions of well-mixed and poorly mixed specimens.

    Notes: Many anthraquinone dyes fade in visible light up to 100 times faster in styrene butadiene copolymers than in polyester resins or polystyrene. A mechanistic investigation of the photofading of 1,5-dihydroxy-2,6-diisobutyl-4-thiophenylanthraquinone has established that the dye sensitizes formation of singlet oxygen, a very reactive species, which attacks the double bonds in the styrene butadiene, resulting in extensive chain cleavage and peroxide formation. The major process is the oxidation of the polymer, and the dye fading is a minor process whereby the dye is apparently attacked by polymeric peroxides. The mechanism appears to be general for anthraquinone dyes, especially those with thioether, amino, hydroxy, or double-bond functionality. Unfortunately the fading is unaffected by most anticxidant stabilizers: the best result achieved was a doubling of half-life with 1 wt% Spinuvex A-36. This is still insufficient to give colored styrene butadiene copolymer resins the intrinsic dye stability available in other polymers, rendering styrene butadiene unsuitable for applications requiring high photostability of anthraquinone dyes.

    Notes: The basic features of a three-step experimental process to produce supermicron polymer particles are described. First, a submicron emulsifier-free latex is prepared by a well-known technique. Second, the latex is aggregated by destabilizing with cetyl pyridinium chloride under constant stirring conditions, to yield roughly spherical clusters of 6-12 μ diameter. Third, the aggregates are stabilized with poly(vinyl alcohol) and internally coalesced by heating at or above the glass transition temperature. The final product particles have relatively smooth surfaces. Results are qualitatively interpreted in terms of a dynamic equilibrium where the aggregate size is determined by a balance between attractive interparticle potentials and stirring shear forces. Bimodal aggregate size distributions suggest the aggregate break-up mechanism may involve the erosion of individual latex particles and small fragments from the surface of aggregates. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Changing solvent has a dramatic effect on the outcome of HPC stabilized dispersion polymerization of styrene in polar solvents. In methoxyethanol/ethanol mixtures, particle size varies from essentially infinity for unstabilized reactions (below 30% ethanol) to about 3 microns in ethanol. In a series of n-alcohols, there was a maximum in particle size at intermediate chain length: particle size increased from 2 microns in methanol to 8.3 microns in pentanol, then decreased again to 1 micron in octadecanol. These results were rationalized in terms of the three-component Hansen solubility parameters. The largest particles were obtained in solvents with Hanson polarity and hydrogen bonding terms closest to HPC. The generality of the three-component solubility parameter approach was examined by reactions performed in eight mixed solvents with the same values of all three Hansen terms. Seven of the eight solvents gave particles of similar size and molecular weight. The two critical effects of solvent on both particle size and molecular weight appear to be: (a) the solubility properties of the grafted HPC-PS formed, and (b) the partitioning of monomer and initiator between solution and particle phases subsequent to nucleation.

    Notes: It is well known that the amount of surfactant must be carefully controlled during starve-fed emulsion polymerization processes. Too little surfactant leads to emulsion instability and coagulation, while too much surfactant leads to secondary particle formation. Although these relationships are qualitatively understood in the art, there is little quantitative basis to guide the synthetic chemist, especially in multistep starve-fed emulsion polymerization processes to make larger supermicron particles. We have developed a method, which will be described in a companion article, to control the surfactant level by monitoring the surface tension during polymerization. In order to quantitatively predict how much surfactant to add at any given time, one needs to know in advance the adsorption characteristics of the soap. Further complicating the matter is the formation of “in situ” or oligomeric surfactant during polymerization with aqueous initiators such as ammonium persulfate.This work demonstrates how to prepare surface-active oligomers and how to make latex particles using them as surfactant. First, we established the mass balance for the initiator-derived sulfate groups in seed latexes by conductometric, potentiometric, and iodometric titrations. Based on the characterization of seed latexes, a method for determining the effective sulfate concentration has been developed. When surface-active oligomers were used as the only surfactant, we obtained a series of monodisperse, supermicron copolymer latex particles with diameters up to 3.22 μm. This is a similar result to that obtained with a commercially made anionic surfactant. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Arene-iron chemistry was applied in the synthesis of a novel liquid crystalline polymer. The chemistry, which is based on iron cyclopentadienyl (FeCp) arene complexes, allows sequential nucleophilic substitution of the chlorides from 1,3-dichlorobenzene-FeCp complex and photolytic decomplexation of the products to afford asymmetrical aryl ethers. This methodology provides easy access to novel polyether-esters, and is potentially useful in the synthesis of various functional polyarylates. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: An analysis is presented for the flow separation process in hydrodynamic chromatography along with comparisons to experimental data. The flow separation model is based on calculations for the convected Brownian motion of colloidal particles in a capillary tube in the presence of a force field. The results indicate the role of the relevant experimental parameters in the separation process.

    Notes: An optical sensor, consisting of optical fibers to transmit light to and from the mold cavity, was constructed for the purpose of measuring the onset of polymer solidification during injection molding. The sensor was used to detect characteristic fluorescence radiation from a dye which had been doped into the resin at very low concentration. By measuring changes in fluorescence intensity it was possible to detect whether the state of the resin was liquid or solid. We observed that, as the resin cooled in the mold, the onset of solidification was indicated by highly characteristic and distinct changes in the fluorescence intensity/time profile. Application of the method involved the use of a calibration relationship between the fluorescence intensity and temperature of the doped polymer in order to determine the distict features which characterize the onset of solidification. Injection molding of a glass forming polymer (polystyrene) and a crystallizable polymer (polyethylene) was monitored by this technique.
