    Notes: Abstract The crystal and electronic structure of solidC 76 has been studied using transmission electron microscopy and electron energy-loss spectroscopy in transmission. C76 forms a close packed structure with an average facecentred cubic symmetry. From valence band and core electron excitations information on the dielectric function and the unoccupied density of states has been obtained.

    Notes: Mechanical properties, notably the ductility of rutile-filled low-density polyethylene (LDPE) and chlorinated polyethylene (CPE), were studied to determine the influence of filler dispersion and of matrix-filler interactions. Potential interactions between polymer and filler were obtained from inverse gas chromatography, in the form of acid/base interaction parameters. The strength of filler aggregates was obtained from flow properties of the dry powders. Dispersion quality in molded specimens was identified from X-ray contact micrographs. The ductility of filled, nonpolar LDPE was found to be independent of acid/base considerations, but strong correlations have been drawn between the strength of filler aggregates and the quality of dispersion attained by controlled mixing methods. Inherent filler agglomeration thus also affects the mechanical properties of the nonpolar matrix. Coated, nonagglomerated fillers dispersed well, leading to ductilities at low filler load that exceeded that of the unfilled host polymer. In contrast, acid/base interactions were found to exert dominant influence on rutile dispertion in CPE. Similarly, the mechanical properties of this polymer varied with the acid/base forces acting at matrix/filler contacts.

    Notes: The temperature dependence of the thermodynamic interactions in blends of polypropylene and a fluorochemical was studied by inverse gas chromatography (IGC). A modified procedure has been proposed to evaluate the effective surface composition in polyblends. This shows that the low surface energy component preferentially concentrates in the surface region of blends. Moreover, the new procedure greatly reduces the probe-to-probe variation of χ23, a problem frequently encountered in thermodynamic applications of the IGC method. As a result, IGC may now be used with increased confidence for the determination of interaction thermodynamics in polymer systems over broad temperature ranges. © 1992 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: The performances of adhesives is strongly dependent on the contributions to overall surface energies from dispersion and nondispersion forces. In this work, surface energies have been studied for polyurethanes representing the categories of aliphatic and aromatic polyethers and aliphatic polyesters. The surface energies of the polymers were measured by static and dynamic contact angle methods. In addition to determining the energy values for polymers as received, evaluations were also made on the polymers following modification by an aminopropyl silance (APS), present at concentrations ranging from 0.1 to 20 wt %. The dispersion surface energies of the three polymers were roughly equal; however, the nondispersive surface energies strongly differentiated among them. Organic liquids were used for calculations of energy parameters from static contact angles. Data for water failed to follow theoretical expectations and were used instead to compute a work of adhesion parameter for the polymer/water interface. This correlated with nondispersion surface energies of the polyurethanes. Somewhat different values of the nondispersion surface energy were obtained from static and dynamic contact angles, an effect attributed to the tendency of polyurethanes to restructure when their surfaces were in prolonged contact with water during dynamic analysis. This behavior may be important to the type of adhesive bond formed by the polymers and to variations in bond characterstics with time. The use of APS was found to influence both static and dynamic contact angle values, with primary changes occuring in nondispersion contributions. The effects of APS addition were fully developed at concentrations of 1 wt % or less, raising doubts about the efficiency of using this additive at higher concentrations. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Thermally initiated crosslinking reactions have been studied in a linear low-density polyethylene, and an ethylene - propylene rubber. The polymers contained conventional thermal stabilizers or one of three surface-coated rutile pigments. Enthalpies of crosslinking and reaction kinetics depended on the degree of terminal vinyl unsaturation in the polymers, that characteristic being greater in the rubber than in the polyethylene. The presence of thermal stabilizers did not exert any measurable influence on measured parameters of the crosslinking processes. The effects of rutile varied, depending on their surface acidity or basicity, as determined from chromatographic measurements. Basic rutile was found to reduce heats and to slow rates of reaction, while acidic rutiles did not affect the reactions. These observations may be attributed to interaction between the basic pigment surface and acidic moieties involved in the crosslinking reaction. © 1992 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Inverse gas chromatographic data have been obtained for polystyrene, polycarbonate, and two substituted amines used as additives in the polymers. Surface energies have been determined and evaluations made of acid/base interaction parameters and Flory-Huggins χ values for the surface bounded interphase. It was shown that acid/base considerations are implicated in the miscibility of these polymer/additive systems. Surface energy analyses showed that surface and bulk compositions in blends differed whether or not the blend components were miscible. Composition differences were the result of thermodynamic drives to minimize surface free energy. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Inverse gas chromatography of alkanes has been used to assess the degree of fusion of rigid polyvinyl chloride (PVC) extrudates. The relative degree of fusion is provided by ratios of the retention volumes of the alkane probe molecules in the bulk of the PVC. This method is nonintrusive and can be used to measure degree of fusion quantitatively if a completely fused reference material can be provided. The present analysis involves evaluations of the contributions to the overall retention volume of the alkane probes, resulting from adsorption and from bulk diffusion. The diffusivity of the alkanes was clearly dependent on the processing history of the PVC extrudate. A direct variation was observed between the size of the diffusing molecules and their residence time as adsorbates on the polymer surface. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Calorimetrically determined integral heats of solution and swelling ratio measurements carried out on extrudates of low-density polyethylene blended with Surlyn ionomer and ethylene-ethyl acrylate copolymer provide independent evidence for the redistribution of components as a result of extrusion. Although this evidence for “migration” supports earlier data for extrusion-triggered molecular redistribution in polyethylene, the present data further suggest that the effect may be due at least in part to the tendency of crystallizable polydisperse polymers to form cohesively weak boundary layers upon cooling from the melt. Thus, molecular redistribution effects may be expected in the processing of polyethylene and related thermoplastics but would not be pronounced in the extrusion of amorphous, narrow molecular weight distribution polymers, e.g., polystyrene.

    Notes: Gas-liquid chromatography (GLC) has been applied to the study of thermodynamic interactions in poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) plasticized by di-n-octyl phthalate (DnOP). A number of vapor-phase “probes” were used to evaluate the Flory-Huggins thermodynamic parameter for the PVC-DnOP interaction in stationary phase mixtures of the components which covered the entire composition range. Experiments were carried out in the temperature span of 100-130°C. The interaction parameter was strongly negative, indicating high PVC-DnOP compatibility, up to 0.25 volume fraction of plasticizer. It then became less negative and finally positive at 0.55 volume fraction of DnOP, suggesting a lower compatibility limit. The composition dependence of the interaction parameter and its apparent variation with the chemical nature of the vapor-phase probe may reflect a nonrandom solution of the probe in the stationary phase and/or non-random mixing of PVC-DnOP, particularly at DnOP contents in the limited compatibility range. Evaluations of the influence of DnOP on zero-shear melt viscosity and Tg of compounds indicate that both thermodynamic interactions and volume-of-dilution effects must be taken into account in assessing the effectiveness of the plasticizer.
