Non-Isothermal crystallization of isotactic polypropylene in dotriacontane. I: Effects of dilution,cooling rate,and nucleating agent addition on overall crystallization kinetics

The overall non-isothermal crystallization kinetics for nucleated and non-nucleated isotactic polypropylene (iPP) in dotriacontane systems was investigated. Adipic acid was used as the nucleating agent. Crystallization peak temperature was determined via differential scanning calorimetry as a function of the experimentally controlled variables iPP concentration, cooling rate, and nucleating agent concentration. The influence of these variables on crystallization mechanism and spherulitic structure as implied by the Ozawa and Ziabicki analyses was determined. The non-isothermal crystallization kinetics presented here are the first for iPP-diluent systems with and without nucleating agent.     

Chemistry of organosulphur compound types occurring in heavy oil sands: 3. Reaction of thiophene and tetrahydrothiophene with vanadyl and nickel salts

As part of a study of the chemistry of the steam-stimulated recovery of heavy oils, the hydrolysis and subsequent desulphurization of tetrahydrothiophene and thiophene by aqueous solutions of vanadyl and nickel salts was investigated. Vanadyl sulphate and vanadyl chloride were shown to behave very differently, emphasizing that these salts have different molecular species in aqueous solutions.

Properties of aluminophosphate concretes containing various types of orthophosphoric acid

Conclusions The type of orthophosphoric acid has the maximum influence on the properties of corundum concretes, a lower influence on high-alumina concretes, and practically no influence on quartz-clay concretes. It is desirable to use wet-process orthophosphoric acid for refractory concretes. The excellent properties of concretes in the system A1₂O₃-SiO₂ based on this acid which is also cheaper enabled us to recommend it for preparing refractory concretes.The advantage of using H₃PO₄ of various types for corundum concretes is determined by the requirements placed on them in actual working conditions.Translated from Ogneupory, No.6, pp. 58–61, June, 1970.     

Polyether-metal salt complexes: 1. The elevation of the glass transition temperature of polyethers by metal salts

Various metal halides have been dispersed in high and low molecular weight, amorphous poly(propylene oxide), by solution blending techniques, to give single phase polymeric complexes which remained thermoplastic even at very high salt loadings. These complexes were amorphous and showed a single well-defined glass transition temperature (T_g) by differential thermal analysis with the T_g of the complex up to 140°C greater than the T_g of the parent polymer. The T_g elevation depended upon both the amount and the type of salt added and for a given salt the elevation followed a sigmoidal curve which levelled out at high salt concentrations. The T_g data have been interpreted in terms of a chelate ring model involving the co-ordination of two adjacent ether oxygen atoms in the polymer backbone to the salt. Using this model it was possible to consider the complex as a random copolymer consisting of complexed and uncomplexed monomer units. The contribution of crosslinking by metal salts to the elevation of T_g was assessed by studying poly(tetramethylene glycol)-zinc chloride complexes in which chelate formation is entropically unfavourable. Mechanical data are reported for ZnCl₂ complexes with high molecular weight poly(propylene oxide). The results indicate that ZnCl₂ increased the rubbery modulus and this has been interpreted in terms of ZnCl₂ forming a few, weak intermolecular crosslinks.
