Foam processing of poly(ethylene-co-vinyl acetate) rubber using supercritical carbon dioxide

Soft rubber foams like poly(ethylene-co-vinyl acetate) (EVA) are industrially applied in a broad range of products, including sports gear, insulation materials and drug delivery systems. In contrast to glassy polymers, few studies in literature concern the foaming of soft rubbers using supercritical carbon dioxide. In this study, open microporous matrices of EVA have been formed with CO₂. Prior to the foam expansion, sorption and swelling isotherms of CO₂ in EVA have been measured and the obtained isotherms have been correlated using the Sanchez-Lacombe equation of state. Additionally, a pressure-independent diffusion coefficient of CO₂ in EVA has been obtained from these experiments. The microporous foams have been formed by a pressure quench of the CO₂-swollen polymer matrix. Sorption pressure as well as temperature and decompression times appear to determine the pore size and bulk density of the foam. These parameters allow for a control of the foam structure of EVA rubbers.     

Fatty acid composition of spanish shortenings with special emphasis on <Emphasis Type="Italic">trans</Emphasis> unsaturation content as determined by fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and gas chromatography

A Fourier transform infrared spectroscopic procedure was used to analyze 34 edible fats (22 shortenings and 12 vegetable margarines) as neat fats (IR_NF) to determine their total trans fatty acid (TFA) content. The sloping baseline was corrected with a reference spectrum based on a nonprocessed olive oil. The calibration was done using seven partially hydrogenated fats with an individual TFA content previously determined by the combination of gas chromatography (GC) with argentation thin-layer chromatography. Taking into account the different absorptivities of various trans isomers, different correction factors were calculated using the calibration standards (0.83 and 1.71 for single trans bonds in both diethylene and triethylene and for trans, trans-diethylene fatty acids, respectively) and applied to calculate the total TFA of samples. Moreover, the samples were converted to their methyl esters and reanalyzed following the same procedure (IR_FAME). Differences in TFA content of fats were not found when a t-test was used to compare the results obtained by IR_NF vs. either IR_FAME or GC, suggesting that IR of neat fats could be used, thus avoiding the need to prepare sample solutions in organic solvents and to prepare fatty acid methyl esters. The mean TFA content (determined by IR_NF) of a representative group of Spanish shortenings (22 samples) that varied widely in terms of fat sources, processes, and purposes (bakery, sandwiches, ice cream, coatings, chocolate coverings) was 6.55±11.40%, although more than 54% contained <3% of TFA. Fatty acid composition of shortenings by direct GC using a 100-m polar cyanopolysiloxane capillary column indicated that the mean trans-18∶2 isomer content was 0.58%, ranging from 0.9 to 3.4%. Small amounts of trans-18∶3 isomers (<0.3%) were observed in 18 of the 22 shortenings studied; the maximal value was <2%. The mean value of the fraction saturated+TFA of shortenings was high (59.95±12.73%), including two values higher than 83%.
