The heterogeneous nucleation of microcellular foams assisted by the survival of microvoids in polymers containing low glass transition particles. Part I: Mathematical modeling and numerical simulation

The existing models based on classical nucleation theory are not able to explain satisfactorily the nucleation phenomenon of microcellular foams in thermoplastics. Here, we extend the analysis of Kweeder (24), who developed a new model that considers the presence of microvoids, resulting from the thermal processing history of the polymer, as potential nucleation sites. The nucleation model “concentrates” on the stresses and thus void formations in the rubber particles. Since these are pre-existing microvoids, bubble nucleation depends on the survival of these voids to grow rather than the formation of a new phase as modeled by classical nucleation theory. The population of viable microvoids with a sufficiently large radius to survive and overcome surface and elastic forces has been modeled to yield the cell density. A log-normal distribution, which relates to the rubber particle size, has been used to model the distribution of microvoids in the polymer composite material. The model depends on various process parameters such as saturation pressure, foaming temperature, concentration of nucleating agents, solubility of the blowing agent in the polymer, and the modulus. High impact polystyrene (HIPS) was added to polystyrene to obtain polymers with different concentrations of rubber gel particles, the nucleating agent, and used here for this study.     

Plaster of Paris activated supersulfated slag cement

Hydration and strength behavior of supersulfated cement produced by activating a granulated Indian blastfurnace slag by plaster of Paris has been investigated. It is shown that plaster of Paris is a better activator than the conventional hard burnt gypsum (anhydrite) at least for a class of blastfurnace slags which are ordinarily considered less than ideal for this purpose. The setting characteristics of the plaster of Paris activated slag were controlled by small additions of a set retarder which does not adversely affect the strength properties of the cement. X-ray analysis and DTA have been used to identify the hydration products, interpret the strength data, and to compare the plaster of Paris activated cement with anhydrite activated slag cement.     

Flow Regime Maps for Flow of Liquid Through Downcomer in a Turbulent Bed Contactor

The provision of a downcomer to classical turbulent bed Contactor (TBC) increases the gas treating capacity of the equipment. When the downcomer is provided, it is expected that all the liquid passes through the downcomer only without any liquid flow through the distributor. In the present study, the operational regime for the flow of liquid only through the downcomer is experimentally evaluated for various geometric parameters and particle characteristics. It is observed that the preferred operational regime without dumping and weeping increases with an increase in Archimedes number and downcomer diameter, and decreases with an increase in static bed height and downcomer weir height. Correlations are proposed to satisfactorily predict experimentally observed operational regime.     

Continuous Self‐Collision Detection for Deformable Surfaces Interacting with Solid Models

In this paper, we propose a new continuous self‐collision detection (CSCD) method for a deformable surface that interacts with a simple solid model. The method is developed based on the radial‐view‐based culling method. Our method is suitable for the deformable surface that has large contact region with the solid model. The deformable surface may consist of small round‐shaped holes. At the pre‐processing stage, the holes of the deformable surface are filled with ghost triangles so as to make the mesh of the deformable surface watertight. An observer primitive (i.e. a point or a line segment) is computed so that it lies inside the solid model. At the runtime stage, the orientations of triangles with respect to the observer primitive are evaluated. The collision status of the deformable surface is then determined. We evaluated our method for several animations including virtual garments. Experimental results show that our method improves the process of CSCD.     

Effect of partial replacement of di(2‐ethyl hexyl)phthalate,by a polymeric plasticizer,on the permeability and leaching properties of poly(vinyl chloride)

Acrylonitrile butadiene rubber (NBR) was used as a polymeric plasticizer in poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) for the partial replacement of di(2‐ethyl hexyl)phthalate (DEHP). The effect of this partial replacement on DEHP leaching from the PVC was evaluated at 10, 25, and 40°C. The study shows that the incorporation of NBR reduces the rate of DEHP leaching, the reduction being prominent at lower temperatures. Gas permeability of the NBR‐modified samples was also evaluated at the above temperatures using oxygen and carbon dioxide. A reduction in gas permeability is observed in NBR‐modified samples compared to the PVC plasticized with DEHP alone particularly in the case of carbon dioxide. Water vapor transmission rates of the NBR‐modified samples are higher than that of the control sample. The NBR‐modified PVC sample was found to be noncytotoxic in the in vitro cytotoxic evaluation both by direct contact and test on extract methods. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Swelling behavior of hydroxyapatite‐filled chitosan–poly(acrylic acid) polyelectrolyte complexes

A family of hydroxyapatite (HAP)‐filled chitosan (CHI)–poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) polyelectrolyte complexes was prepared for the development of a degradable biocompatible organic matrix with nascent HAP that will degrade in vivo over a period of time. The effects of complexation on the degradation profile of the composites as well as the interaction between the CHI–PAA matrix and HAP in the composite system were evaluated by studying the swelling behavior of these composites in phosphate‐buffered saline (PBS) by varying their CHI–PAA ratio and HAP content. All composite systems showed a general trend of three stages of swelling with the variation in the degree of equilibrium swelling. The percentage weight gain initially decreased in a linear way with increases in the HAP weight percentages, leading to a first equilibrium swelling, represented by the plateau; further increased to a greater extent; and finally stabilized. The CHI/PAA/HAP composites were stable in PBS up to a period of more than 45 days whereas the 50/50 CHI/PAA control sample showed a single equilibrium attained after a period of 288 h. Further exposure of the specimen to the medium led to its disintegration. It was also observed that, even though CHI and PAA were capable of binding HAP, because of the lack of efficient binding, the integrity of the CHI–HAP and PAA–HAP composites were lost within 48 h. The 50/50/80 CHI/PAA/HAP composition showed the minimum amount of swelling in the series. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 100: 4716–4722, 2006     

Sodium alginate–poly(hydroxyethylmethacrylate) interpenetrating polymeric network membranes for the pervaporation dehydration of ethanol and tetrahydrofuran

Interpenetrating polymeric network (IPN) membranes of sodium alginate (NaAlg) and various amounts of poly(hydroxyethylmethacrylate) (PHEMA) have been prepared and tested for the pervaporation dehydration of ethanol and tetrahydrofuran (THF). The presence of hydrophilic PHEMA in the IPN matrix was found to be responsible for increase in membrane selectivity to water. NaAlg–PHEMA IPN membrane containing 20 wt % of PHEMA exhibited a selectivity of 571 to water for the water–ethanol mixture and 857 for water–THF mixture. These data are much better than those observed for the pristine NaAlg membrane. However, flux of the IPN membranes was smaller than that of pristine NaAlg membrane. Comparatively higher flux values were observed for water–THF mixture than for water–ethanol mixture. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 101: 3324–3329, 2006
