    Notes: Abstract Association of macromolecules in aqueous media through hydrogen bonding results in the formation of discrete interpolymer complexes (IPCs). In this work, the effect of added salt on the stability of IPCs consisting of polyacrylic acid and either a flexible polymer (polyethylene oxide or polyvinylpyrrolidone) or a semirigid polymer (hydroxy propylcellulose) is examined by a combination of spectrophotometry, viscometry and potentiometry. Addition of a neutral salt (e.g., NaCl) typically results in IPC aggregation. The response of the IPCs to salts that promote “salting-in” (i.e., LiSCN, NaSCN and GuSCN, where Gu denotes guanidine) is strongly cation-dependent, since Li+ cations induce an increase in solution pH, whereas Gu+ cations compete with polyacrylic acid for complexation sites. The degree of complexation (θ), calculated from potentiometric data, is greatest for IPCs in the absence of salt and is found to decrease in the order NaCl〉NaSCN〉GuSCN. Addition of salts that induce “salting-in” at polymer solution concentrations favoring complexation is found to enhance IPC solubility (and reduce θ) until the IPC particles are either completely solubilized or dissociated.

    Notes: Abstract  Salts with large polarizable ions are capable of salting-in complex aqueous polymer solutions exhibiting microstructure, thereby inducing changes in the phase behavior and properties of the solutions. In this work, the dynamic rheological properties of isotropic and mesomor-phic hydroxypropylcellulose (HPC) in aqueous media have been investigated in the presence of one such salt, guanidine thiocyanate (GuSCN). Addition of this salt to isotropic aqueous HPC solutions is found to induce an increase in the magnitude of the elastic shear modulus (G′). At HPC concentrations above the isotropic→mesophase transition, however, addition of GuSCN results in a substantial reduction in G′ due to microstructural changes in the chiral nematic HPC mesophase. This reduction in G′ indicates that the microstructure of a water-soluble polymer exhibiting supramolecular organization can be tailored through salting-in, and is likewise expected to facilitate the commercial processing of HPC at high solids concentrations.

    Notes: Abstract The fact that microstructures form in microphase-separated block copolymers, endowing the materials with unique thermo-mechanical properties, is well-established. However, no thermodynamic theories directly address the problem of microstructural development in ultrathin films, which might be useful as adhesives or resists. To predict the microstructural dimensions in such films, a model based on unit-cell geometries and material/volume balances is developed. Predictions of the ratio of the characteristic length of the domain core to domain repeat distance are obtained for poly (styrene-butadiene) diblock (SB) copolymers at 298 K. The finite interphase region is included in the volume balances with the parameterf, the volume fraction of interphase material, obtained from a modified version of the Leary-Henderson-Williams thermodynamic theory and shown here not to be a strong function of composition. An approach, implementingf, for accurately estimating the critical molecular weight of microphase separation in the strong-segregation limit (M c ), as a function of bulk composition for monodisperse SB copolymers at 298 K, is also presented.

    Notes: Abstract Glass-reinforced polyesters (GRPs) are attractive in structural applications due to their strength-to-weight ratio and resistance to chemical attack. For marine and processing applications, in particular, GRPs must withstand long-term exposure to brine and either highly acidic or basic aqueous solutions. In this work, we report on the degradation of two GRP laminates, a pultruded isophthalic polyester (IPE) and a hand-moulded vinyl ester (VE), in brine (5% w/v NaCl) and a 10% w/v NaOH(aq) solution over the course of 270 days at 25°C. Tensile and flexural strengths have been measured as a function of immersion time and reveal that the IPE resin is more susceptible to water permeation and fibre-resin debonding than the VE. While the IPE laminate undergoes dramatic tensile strength deterioration in NaOH(aq) within the first 30 days of immersion, the VE resin is far more resistant to degradation in either solution. These measurements are consistent with surface features imaged with electron microscopy. Incorporation of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) or C-glass surface veils into these laminates is not generally beneficial for property retention, since the veils produce more interfaces and enhance water absorption through wicking.

    Notes: Abstract Numerous studies have been conducted to elucidate the mechanism(s) by which glass-reinforced polyesters (GRPs) degrade in aqueous solutions varying in salt concentration, pH and temperature. In this work, we examine the degradation kinetics of two GRPs in two organic solvents, 1,1,1-trichloroethane (TCE) and toluene, to ascertain if these laminates could be utilized in fuel or solvent storage and transportation applications. The tensile strength of isophthalic and vinyl ester laminates is not significantly affected (〉85% retention) by TCE after 270 days of immersion. While incorporation of a polyethylene terephthalate (PET) or C-glass surface veil does not improve tensile strength retention and, in fact, reduces the flexural strength of the vinyl ester GRPs, these veils preserve surface finish by reducing blistering. In toluene, the GRPs behave quite differently. A marked increase in toluene absorption into the vinyl ester laminate is accompanied by a substantial reduction in tensile strength retention (with or without a surface veil). From these results, a two-stage degradation mechanism for vinyl ester in toluene is proposed in which the first stage corresponds to diffusion-limited plasticization and the second reflects matrix relaxation/swelling.

    Notes: Abstract Transmission electron microscopy has been used to study microstructural features in a thermotropic copolyester composed of 4-hydroxybenzoic acid, isophthalic acid and hydroquinone residues. Selected-area electron diffraction patterns indicate that thin sheared samples of the pure copolymer, and of an analogue containing glass filler, exhibit a dual molecular orientation in which the meridional maxima are closely periodic in scattering angle. Dark-field (DF) imaging in one set of the diffuse equatorial reflections reveals “bands” which have an average period of 200 nm. Annealing the material in the solid state at 250 °C leads eventually to a change in the structure in which the banded texture is replaced by regions of uniform orientation within which the molecules are aligned with the shear axis. Needle-like diffracting crystalline entities, measuring approximately 80 nm long, in the direction of the molecular chain axis, and 5–8 nm thick, have been imaged in DF using the first meridional reflection as the source of diffraction contrast.
