Binodal and spinodal curves: a simulation for various high polymer mixtures

Flory's equation-of-state theory has been used to predict the lower critical solution temperature behaviour of polymer—polymer mixtures. The spinodal phase boundary of numbers of high molecular weight polymer mixtures have been previously simulated using this theory. In this paper a procedure for simultaneous predictions of the binodal and the spinodal curves by equating the chemical potential of each component in the mixture is presented. The method is tested for five different mixtures. The effects of the binary and pure component state parameters on the simulated curves are discussed and the simulated phase diagrams are compared with the experimental cloud point curves. It is found that in most cases the results are more consistent with the cloud point curve being closer to the spinodal curve than the binodal.

Liquid crystalline polymers as additives to enhance the device properties of low molecular mass liquid crystals

Magnetic and electric fields have been used to determine the splay (k₁₁) and bend (k₃₃) elastic constants in a series of polymer/monomer liquid crystal solutions using the well known Freedericksz transition technique. Measurements have been carried out as a function of concentration and temperature. The polymer used was a smectogenic polysiloxane side chain liquid crystal with both cyanobiphenyl and benzoate ester side groups. The monomeric solvent was the nematogen 4-n-pentyl-4′-cyanobiphenyl. All of the solutions studied were nematogenic up to a concentration of 40% w/w. It has been shown that k₁₁, k₃₃ and $\text{k}{}_{33}\text{k}{}_{11}$ all decrease with increasing polymer concentration and that at high enough concentrations $\text{k}{}_{33}\text{k}{}_{11}$ tends to become independent of temperature. The implications of these results are discussed in terms of the performance of the most common liquid crystal display, i.e. the twisted nematic device.     

Calorimetric determination of the enthalpy change for the binding of methyl orange to poly(vinylpyrrolidone) in aqueous solution

Thermodynamic parameters have been determined for the interaction of methyl orange and poly(vinylpyrrolidone) in aqueous solutions containing tris, tris and hydrochloric acid, or water only. Enthalpy changes were determined by use of a flow microcalorimeter. Free energy changes were calculated from the results of equilbrium dialysis studies. The results are interpreted in terms of the behaviour of poly(vinylpyrrolidone) in these systems. Analysis of data shows that the hydrophobic interactions in the systems are in the order: tris > wateronly > tris-HC1.     

Linear viscoelastic properties of mixtures of 3- and 4-arm polybutadiene stars

The viscoelastic properties of a three-arm and a four-arm star polybutadiene with the same arm molecular weight (M_a) were studied. The zero-shear recoverable compliance (J⁰_e) and plateau modulus (G⁰_N) for these stars are the same. The zero-shear viscosity (η₀) of the three-arm star is 20% lower than that of the four-arm star. Mixtures of the stars had J⁰_e and G⁰_N unchanged. A $\text{50}\text{50}$ mixture of the three- and four-arm star was diluted with a low molecular weight linear polybutadiene. G⁰_N∝ø²; J⁰_e∝ø^?1 and M_e∝ø^?1, as expected for dilution with a θ-solvent.

DSC and DMTA characterization of ternary blends

The phase behavior of ternary blends made of poly(epichlorohydrin) (PECH), poly(vinyl acetate) (PVAc) and poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) has been investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and dynamic mechanical thermal analysis (DMTA). DMTA measurements have been shown to be more sensitive than DSC for the detection of a second phase, for the determination of the composition of each phase, and the distribution of PECH in each of them. About 70% PECH was required to obtain a single narrow T_g in the ternary system, which suggests a single homogeneous phase in the limit of sensitivity of DMTA. This study also emphasizes the importance of the composition of the immiscible polymer pair (i.e. the PVAc/PMMA pair in the PECH/PVAc/PMMA system), in addition to the thermodynamic interaction parameters, for controling the phase behavior of ternary systems.

Retention of gallium ions from acidic solutions by pyridine strong‐base anion exchangers

Using the batch method, the retention of Ga(III) from HCl solutions by two gel‐type pyridine strong‐base anion exchangers containing 1‐methyl‐ or 1‐butyl‐4‐vinylpyridinium chloride structural units, called S₁ and S₂ resins, respectively, was studied. The influence of the HCl and Ga(III) concentrations as well as of the contact time between the resin and the liquid phase was investigated. The parameters, which characterize the retention process, were estimated using Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms. Both resins exhibited a higher affinity for gallium ions from a 6M HCl solution. According to Langmuir isotherms, maximum retention capacities of 44.44 and 60 mg Ga(III)/g dry resin for the S₁ and S₂ resins, respectively, were obtained. Freundlich isotherms provide additional proof for a higher affinity of the S₂ resin for Ga(III) from HCl solutions. It is clear that the substituent length increase on N⁺ atoms led to an increasing affinity of the pyridine strong base anion exchangers toward Ga(III). © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
