    Notes: Acid-base interaction parameters were measured by inverse gas chromatography over broad temperature ranges for Poly(vinyl chloride), plasticizer, and CaCO3 fillers. Mixing was performed by three routes. In one, all components were added simultaneously, while in others two of the components were premixed, the third ingredient being added subsequently. Mixing was carried on to equilibrium torque readings. The energy requirement for mixing was found to depend on the interaction balance among the components, and to vary with the procedure selected. Minimum requirement was associated with the simultaneous introduction of all ingredients. Higher energies were needed in sequential mixing schemes, presumably because equilibrium partitioning of components was hindered in these instances. Initial mechanical properties of the compounds did not vary greatly with preparation procedure, but upon aging, mechanical property variations became quite evident. Component repartitioning, driven by shifting interaction balances at aging and at test (room) temperatures are cited as responsible. The kinetics of attaining equilibrium mechanical properties also were found to vary with mixing procedure and to respond to the interaction balance concept.

    Notes: The specific interaction characteristics and the inherent agglomeration of variously surface coated rutile pigments have been assessed, respectively, by inverse gas chromatographic and powder rheological methods. Standardized methods were used to disperse the pigments in polyethylene and chlorinated polyethylene. Measurements were made of energy requirements for dispersion and of the quality of dispersion attained. It was found that in the non-polar polyethylene matrix, dispersion processes depended on the strength of pigment agglomerates, but not on the specific interaction potential of the solids. Conversely, in the acidic chlorinated polyethylene, acid/base interactions influenced dispersion but the process was independent of inherent pigment agglomeration.

    Notes: Compositions based on PVC, containing DIDP or TOTM plasticizers, and in several cases also containing chlorinated polyethylene (CPE) as property modifier, have been crosslinked by irradiation, using di- and tri-functional acrylic crosslinking agents. Crosslinking effectiveness has been analyzed by solvent swelling data, and the effects of irradiation up to dosages of about 10 Mrad on the mechanical properties of the systems have been recorded. The interaction potential of components used in these systems has been determined by recently-developed methods of inverse gas chromatography (IGC). These classify PVC and CPE as electron acceptors, and the plasticizers as donors. Expectedly, increased moduli and decreased elongational properties follow exposure to gamma-rays. The plasticizers reduce the effectiveness of crosslinking, the magnitude of the reduction being related to the degree of acid/base interaction between PVC and plasticizing fluids. When present, CPE competes with PVC for plasticizer so that for given quantities of DIDP or TOTM, the fraction available to solubilize the host polymer is reduced. In compounds with CPE, therefore, the crosslinking effectiveness of irradiation is raised, consistent with the acid/base balance of interactions, as given by the IGC results. Twin yield points have been observed in the stress-strain curves of compounds containing CPE. It is postulated that distinct, interpenetrating crosslink networks are formed when these polymers are subjected to gamma irradiation.

    Notes: The surface properties of cellulose fibers have been modified by heat treatment, by silane coupling agents, and by maleated polypropylene grafts. The effectiveness of these methods has been evaluated by electron spectroscopy (ESCA), by contact angle measurements, and by inverse gas chromatography. The latter analyses yielded information on the fibers' acid/base interaction potential. Cellulose was found to be amphoteric, with prevalent acidic properties. Heat and chloro-silane treatments accentuated acidity, while amino-silane treatment produced net basicity in the fiber surface. Modification with maleated polypropylene reduced specific interactions and converted the fiber to a predominantly dispersion-force solid. The modified fibers were used in composites with polypropylene (neutral), polystyrene (base), and chlorinated polyethylene (acid) as matrix. Stress/strain and dynamic mechanical parameters were found to vary with acid/base interactions between polymer and fiber, significant improvements being noted in elastic and storage moduli, in tensile strength and elongation. In polypropylene, properties were unaffected by acid/base considerations. Acid/base forces, not necessarily dominant, merit consideration in the design of surface modification strategies intended to optimize composite mechanical properties.

    Notes: A Co-60 source was used to irradiate compositions based on PVC, and containing plasticizer additives including DIDP and TOTM, and chlorinated PE (CPE). Polyfunctional acrylic monomers were used as crosslinking agents, and irradiation dosages to about 8Mrad were applied to crosslink the compounds. Analyses included crosslink density estimates from solvent swelling data, and stress/strain evaluations of mechanical responses. It was shown that plasticizers reduce the crosslinking efficiency of irradiation, TOTM being the better inhibitor. The presence of CPE counteracts the trend. Mechanical properties differentiate strongly between the use of difunctional and trifunctional crosslinking agents. The latter produce networks at higher dosages (Eq 〉 4Mrad) characterized by two apparent yield stresses. This suggests the presence of two (or more) distinct network structures. DSC scans of partially crosslinked samples support the contention. The work indicates the importance of composition-property relationships in multicomponent vinyl systems.

    Notes: The influence of thermodynamic interactions among the components of a polymer system on mechanical properties and their retention on aging has been investigated. The systems considered involve plasticized poly(vinyl chloride)(PVC), and CaCO3 fillers. Inverse gas chromatography was used to measure interaction parameters, and to express these in terms of acid-base concepts. Interaction data were obtained over a wide temperature range. It was shown that the volume of plasticizers retained by the PVC correlates with the measured interaction parameters. Similarly, the interaction parameters identify a CaCO3 filler preferred for reinforcing rigid PVC, and a different CaCO3 filler for use in given PVC-plasticizer combinations. The mechanical properties of filled PVC (up to 40 phr CaCO3), and particularly the ultimate properties of the compounds, correlate with interaction concepts, as do property retention data after accelerated aging of the compounds at 100°C. It is concluded that component interaction parameters may provide useful guidelines to the formulation of compounds with superior properties and reduced property losses due to aging.

    Notes: In this study, natural, delaminated and silane-treated micas were screened to give fractions passing 60 to 325 screen mesh sizes. The micas were used as fillers (to 80 wt. percent) in plasticized PVC compounds, their dispersion behavior and their effects on mechanical properties of compounds being noted, and compared with the performance of similarly compounded PVC with CaCO3 fillers. The fusion and dispersion performance of these solids was contrasted strongly. While fusion time and maximum torque in Brabender mixing responded only weakly to the presence of CaCO3, in the presence of ≳40 wt. percent mica both of these parameters increased sharply. The elastic modulus of filled compounds indicated little reinforcement by CaCO3, while mica raised the modulus as much as 150 percent, suggesting significant bonding at the filler-matrix interface. This bonding appeared unable to withstand shear strain, elongations at rupture of mica-filled compounds falling catastrophically when compared with CaCO3-filled controls. The tested micas appear of questionable value as substitutes for inexpensive commodity fillers. As expected, at given loading, finer-particle micas gave increased values of the elastic modulus, but particle size did not strongly affect ultimate mechanical properties. Torque maxima and equilibria in mixing correlated well with particle size. Silane-treated micas produced compounds with properties only mildly different from those using untreated versions. Thus, in PVC (and possibly in other chloride-group containing polymers) interfacial conditions seem only mildly influenced by conventional coupling technology.

    Notes: The increasing tendency to consider waste polymers as suitable stocks for reconversion calls for guidelines as to the processing and end-product behavior of mixtures involving commodity polymers. In the present case, flow and some mechanical properties of mixtures involving low density polyethylene (PE) and filled polyvinyl chloride (PVC) were determined and used as a base-line of comparison with similar properties of multi-component mixtures involving potential compatibilizers for the incompatible matrix pair. Chlorinated polyethylene (CPE) ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) copolymer and ELvaloy polymeric plasticizer were the property modifiers selected. Blends were produced by roll-mill, Brabender or Banbury mixing. Flow properties were measured by capillary viscometry and solid-state properties were characterized by stress-strain data and tensile impact performance. Melt viscosities were non-linear functions of blend composition and varied significantly with the choice of compatibiliser, EVA and CPE producing greater benefits of melt strength than did Elvaloy. Elastic moduli, ultimate tensiles and tensile impact data also responded to the presence of compatibiliser, the EVA and CPE again being more effective in upgrading the properties of the incompatible matrix pair than was Elvaloy. Results, while preliminary, suggest guidelines for the composition of PE/PVC stocks with upgraded performance balance.

    Notes: The dispersion behavior of calcium carbonate (CaCO3), of mica and of sized sand fractions in poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) and polypropylene (PP) has been evaluated using fillers with various surface treatments. Mechanical properties of the compounds were also studied in order to question the role of interfacial forces in the context of dispersion and property parameters. Surface characteristics of polymers and fillers were obtained from inverse gas chromatography data. It has been shown that in the acidic PVC matrix, rapid dispersion of fillers is favored when strong acid-base interactions exist at polymer filler contacts. Similarly, mechanical properties at large extension are improved by acid-base interactions. In contrast, for polypropylene (PP), a van der Waals force material, fillers without pronounced acid or base surface characteristics tend to disperse more rapidly and produce mechanically stronger compounds. The importance of filler surface properties and thus, apparently, of acid-base interfacial forces varies directly with increasing particle size of the dispersed phase.

    Notes: The dynamic mechanical responses of rutile-filled, chlorinated polyethylene (CPE) were studied as a function of temperature, of filler loading, and of filler surface condition. An objective was to establish the influence of matrix-filler interactions on mechanical properties. Necessary information on potential interactions between matrix and filler was obtained from inverse gas chromatographic data, in the form of an acid-base interaction parameter, Ω. The damping peak in filled CPE compounds was depressed by the pigment, as called for by theoretical models. The magnitude of the effect exceeded expectations, however, and clearly depended on the strength of interfacial interactions. These were consistent with the acid-base ranking of CPE and the various rutiles, as given by Ω. It has been postulated that in the presence of acid-base interactions, an immobilized layer of polymer in the vicinity of solid particles increases the effective particle dimension, thereby accounting for the observed variations in relative damping. Additional effects of matrix-filler interaction were noted in the variation of storage moduli with loading and temperature. Again, the effects tend to be more pronounced when significant specific interactions between matrix and solid are operative. These observations point to the inadequacy of existing models as interpretative bases for dynamic mechanical properties in systems with significant specifie interactions among their components.
