    Notes: Styrene was cured by microwave radiation at two different powers: 300 and 500 W. The temperature profile of the sample during the microwave curing process was determined to select a suitable temperature for comparison with the conventional method of cure. The results indicate a similar comparable temperature of about 80°C irrespective of the microwave power used. The percentage conversion of the cure was followed by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. The thermal polymerization at 79(±1)°C displayed a gradual increase in the rate of reaction at the gel effect from about 30 to 50% conversion of the reaction. The microwave cure at 300 and 500 W displayed a large and sharp gel effect from about 20 to 69 and 64% conversion of the reaction, respectively. The limiting conversion decreased with increase in microwave power which was also observed in the polymerization of methyl methacrylate (MMA). Based on similarity in temperature and reaction conditions, the 500 W cure was found to show a reaction rate enhancement of 190% and the 300 W cure 120%. A comparison of microwave induced reactions with thermal methods, therefore, must also specify the microwave power used. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Polycaprolactone-graft-maleic anhydride (PCL-g-MA) copolymer was prepared by grafting maleic anhydride onto PCL in a batch mixer and in an extruder using dicumyl peroxide as the initiator. The graft content was determined with the volumetric method by converting the anhydride functions to acid groups and then titrating with ethanolic potassium hydroxide. The grafted polymer was extracted with xylene to remove any unreacted monomer before the estimation step. The effect of temperature and the various concentrations of the initiator and monomer used for the grafting reaction were investigated. The presence of residual initiator in the reaction product was checked using thin-layer chromatography. Molecular weight determination was carried out for the pure and grafted polymer using gel permeation chromatography to determine if chain scission was present. Results indicate that maleic anhydride is grafted onto PCL using free radical initiators. The grafting reaction was confirmed by FTIR and NMR techniques. FTIR spectra showed absorption bands around 1785 and 1858 cm-1. NMR spectra gave signals for methine proton at 3.47 ppm. For a given peroxide level, a higher temperature or residence (reaction) time gave higher percentage of grafted MA. There was an optimum temperature and initiator concentration after which the percentage of MA grafted on PCL decreased. The number-average molecular weight, tensile strength, and the percent elongation of PCL-g-MA were comparable to those of PCL before grafting. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Polymer-anchored Pd(II) complex catalyst was sythesised by sequential attachment of 1,2-diaminopropane as a ligand to the chloromethylated commercially available styrene-divinylbenzene copolymer (XAD-2). The catalyst was characterised using techniques such as FTIR, SEM, EPR, and UV-VIS reflectance spectroscopy. Other physicochemical properties, such as bulk density, moisture content, swelling and surface area by the BET method at low temperature by nitrogen adsorption, were also studied. The catalyst was tested for the rate of hydrogenation of cyclohexene. The influence of various factors such as temperature, concentration of catalyst, substrate, and quantity of solvent have been determined. The results are compared with the homogeneous analogue. The recycling efficiency of the catalyst was also studied.

    Notes: The role of steric effects in the adsorption of chemically similar acidic probes to the model basic surface of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) was examined using the technique of inverse gas chromatography (IGC). The results were expressed in terms of the acid-base contribution to the Gibbs free-energy change upon adsorption. The acid-base component of the adsorption free energy, computed on the basis of theoretical modes of adduct formation, was found to depend strongly on the molecular structure of the adsorbate, suggesting the importance of steric effects. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: A series of cation exchange resins were prepared from some low-value agricultural residues. Carboxylate (maleate, succinate, and phthalate), phosphate, and sulfate groups were incorporated onto the complex polysaccharide matrix of oat hulls, corn cobs, and sugar beet pulp. Standard reaction conditions were established, using cellulose as the model polysaccharide. The magnitude of functional group incorporation, under standard conditions, was taken as a measure of the reactivity of the agricultural residues studied. In general, the order of reactivity was sugar beet pulp 〉 corn cob 〉 oat hull. The unsubstituted and the functionalized agricultural residues were tested for their potential ability to remove cations from waste water discharges. The capability of these materials to remove cations from waste waters was estimated from their calcium binding capacity. The calcium binding capacities of the resins prepared from the agricultural residues varied from around 559-3466 μequiv/g. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: We have studied the failure of a urethane elastomer due to cyclic compressive loading, using loading frequencies and specimen sizes for which internal heat generation is an important factor. The eventual failures were generally manifest by internal cracks growing transverse to the loading direction. A variety of experimental analyses indicate that this failure is primarily thermal, in that the temperature rise due to viscous dissipation eventually leads to a melting of the hard segment domains which act to reinforce the material. No strong indication of thermal or thermomechanical bond scission was obtained, although a progressive reduction in the rubbery modulus was noted.

    Notes: The glass transition temperatures (Tg's) of several polystyrenes and styrene-alkyl methacrylate copolymers and terpolymers were measured using thermomechanical analysis (TMA) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The polymers studied had number-average molecular weights from 3000 to 250,000 g/mole. The results indicate that the composition dependence of the Tg's for the copolymers and terpolymers can be satisfactorily described by a general Fox equation. In general, the measured Tg's of the copolymer and terpolymer samples depend more on the steric effects of the constituent pendent groups than on their molecular weights. The chain flexibility rather than the size of the pendent group is the determining factor in the glass transition properties of the styrene polymers.

    Notes: The thermal stability and degradation kinetics of several polystyrenes and styrene-alkyl methacrylate copolymers and terpolymers with a number-average molecular weight (M̄n) of 6000-250,000 g/mole have been studied using dynamic thermogravimetry (TG). The degradation kinetics of each polymer sample have been successfully attributed to a sample first-order reaction expression. The results indicate that the thermal stability and degradation kinetics of the polymers are independent of the size of the molecules within the molecular weight range investigated. The steric hindrance effects of the pendent groups appear to be responsible for the improved thermal stability and resistance of C—C bond scission in the styrene-alkyl methacrylate copolymers and terpolymers.

    Notes: A black charcoal-like material having cation exchange and adsorption properties was prepared by the controlled pyrolysis of starch in the presence of a commercial phytic acid solution. Resins with binding capacities of 0.7-5.7 meq/g of calcium were prepared by varying the phytic acid to starch ratio, the temperature, or the duration of heating of the reaction mixture. SEM photomicrographs of some of these new materials showed that they are composed of particles similar in size and shape to the starting starch granules. These resins also removed atrazine from aqueous solutions. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.This article is a US Government work and , as such, is in the public domain in the United States of America.
