    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: 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: 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: 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: A series of copolyureas containing 50% by weight hard segment have been formed by RIM. The hard segment structure was systematically varied to investigate the effects of urea group density, hard segment crosslinking, relative reaction rates, and to compare the properties of aromatic and aliphatic hard segment materials. In each case the soft segment was based on a 2000 molecular weight polyether diamine. The RIM materials formed ranged from flexible elastomers to brittle plastics depending on composition and were characterized by SAXS, DSC, DMA, tensile stress-strain and fracture mechanics studies. SAXS, DSC, and DMA showed that microphase separation had occurred to give materials with a non-equilibrium morphology. DMA and tensile stress-strain studies showed the small strain properties to be very sensitive to the volume fraction of glassy material whereas the ultimate properties were dependent on chemical structure of the hard segment. Fracture properties were determined using the single-edge notch technique. In most cases ductile failure occurred with Gc 〉 2.5 kJ m-2 and the fracture surfaces showed gross yielding and tearing. In the case of the copolyurea with the highest urea group content, brittle fracture occurred with Gc = 0.06 kJ m-2.

    Notes: The effect of structural segments on the thermal stability of photocurable urethane acrylates was studied. A series of model compounds, where one segment of the molecular structure was varied at a time while keeping the remainder of the molecule unchanged, was tested for thermal stability. The results from this study indicate a prominent equivalent weight effect: Increasing the equivalent weight decreases the thermal stability within a given series of model compounds. Polyol-based urethanes were found to be more stable than their amine counterparts. Of the hydroxy-terminated starting materials, polycaprolactones were found to produce the greatest thermal stability, whereas polyethers resulted in the least stable photocurable materials. The diisocyanate segment exhibits a marked effect on the thermal stability of the cured material also. Surprisingly, the dicycloaliphatic diisocyanates resulted in greater stability than the aromatic diisocyanates, while the monocycloaliphatic diisocyanates yielded the least stable materials in the model compound series tested.

    Notes: Various substituted difunctional 1,3-dioxolanes and 1,3-dioxanes were copolymerized with a cyclic vinyl ether, 3,4-dihydro-2H-pyran-2-methyl(3,4-dihydro-2H-pyran-2-carboxylate), in the presence of boron trifluoride etherate catalyst. The copolymerizations proceeded rapidly and exothermally when initiated at room temperature and produced thermosetting resins. The copolymer products possess improved abrasion resistance and toughness as compared with homopolymer of the di(dihydropyranyl) monomer. As a practical consequence of these copolymerizations it is possible to prepare low-density pyranyl rigid foams with improved friability resistance.

    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: Polymer films obtained from photocurable formulations were investigated by tensile methods and dynamic mechanical analysis. The polymer formulations contained photoinitiator, urethane diacrylate oligomer, and acrylic reactive diluent. It was found that diluent concentration may strongly affect the glass transition temperature and elastic modulus of the cured coating. When the diluent homopolymer glass transition temperature is larger than that of oligomer homopolymer, the glass transition temperature and elastic modulus of the coating film increase with the increase of the diluent concentration. When the diluent homopolymer has lower glass transition temperature than the homopolymer of the oligomer, the increase in diluent concentration leads to a decrease in glass transition temperature and elastic modulus of the UV-cured coating film. The effect of the testing temperature on tensile storage modulus of the films containing different concentrations of reactive diluents was studied as well. The data indicated that a variety of coatings with wide ranging but predictable properties can be formulated from previously examined starting materials but used at different concentrations. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
