The Viscosity of cottonseed oil,fractionation solvents and their solutions

Cold fractionation of cottonseed oil is made difficult by the high viscosity of the oil. This study was aimed at demonstrating the effect of solvents on the viscosity of mixtures between 0°C and 25°C with a view to facilitating the fractionation of refined cottonseed oil. The solvents used were acetone, methylethylketone, methylisobutylketone, hexane and heptane. Measurements of viscosity were carried out by means of a capillary viscometer. The ratio of the viscosity of cottonseed oil to that of pure solvents is of the order of 300. The viscosities of solutions of various ratios of solvent to oil (1/3, 1/1, 3/1) are between those of cottonseed oil and the pure solvents. The effect of the solvent/oil ratio overrides that of solvent nature. The effect of solvent in reducing the viscosity of cottonseed oil is by descending order: acetone, hexane, methylethylketone, heptane, methylisobutylketone.

Adsorption of block copolymers at latex surface and their utilization in emulsion polymerization

Amphiphilic block copolymers have been investigated for their utilization in emulsion polymerization of butyl methacrylate. Special attention has been paid to the adsorption mechanism of the block copolymers from systematic measurements of equilibrium adsorption isotherms. A series of well-defined water-soluble amphiphilic block copolymers, composed of poly(butyl methacrylate) and poly(sodium methacrylate) blocks, were synthesized by anionic polymerization of butyl methacrylate and tert-butyl methacrylate followed by the thermal deprotection of the tert-butyl ester groups and final hydrolysis. The number density of emulsion polymer particles N_P varied as [copolymer]^α, α lying between 0.44 and 0.73 according to the hydrophilic content of the copolymers. In contrast with SDS taken as a reference emulsifier, the adsorption of the copolymers was very strong and this provided quite an efficient stabilization of the polymer particles during emulsion polymerization, even at low concentrations (<10⁻⁴ mol L⁻¹) and low coverages (<10% of the interfacial area).

Viscosity aging of poly(vinyl chloride) plastisol: The effect of the resin type and plasticizer type

The viscosity of freshly prepared poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) plastisol increases with time, and this phenomenon is called viscosity aging. The increase is rapid in the beginning and slows down to a quasistable value, but a very slow increase continues. The phenomenon may be a result of either the deagglomeration of agglomerated particles or the dissolution of low‐molecular‐weight PVC into the plasticizer. In this work, two typical commercial resins were used, one containing friable agglomerates and the other containing nonfriable agglomerates. With the friable‐agglomerate resin, about 40% of the initially present agglomerates deagglomerated, whereas the viscosity increased in a week to twice the initial value. With the nonfriable‐agglomerate resin, very fine and very low molecular weight particles, about 3% of all the particles, dissolved into the plasticizer in 2 days. The effect of the plasticizer type on the viscosity aging through deagglomeration was investigated with four plasticizers and three plasticizer blends. The emulsifiers used for polymerization, and retained through drying, affected the aging in the beginning. On the other hand, the viscosity after 1 week was free from the effect of the emulsifier and was affected only by the plasticizer type. With the exception of two blends, the 1‐week viscosity was quantitatively related to the dielectric constant divided by the molecular weight of the plasticizer. For the plasticizer blends, one of the plasticizers could have a dominant effect on the promotion of deagglomeration. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 95: 448–464, 2005     

Effect of time/temperature treatment parameters on depolymerization of chitosan

Depolymerization of the biopolymer chitosan by an autoclaving process at 121°C and 15 psi was investigated using various treatments. Acetic acid was found to be the most effective solvent in decreasing chitosan viscosity among the six organic acids tested. The rate of viscosity decrease increased with increasing chitosan concentration. The viscosity of 1% chitosan in 1% acetic acid decreased rapidly to 91% of the initial viscosity following the initial 15 min of autoclaving. This decreased gradually to 93% and 94% in 30 and 60 min, respectively, without being adversely affected by the chitosan solution volume. The degree of deacetylation was comparable before and after autoclaving for 60 min. Chitosan at three molecular weights (M_r = 1597, 1110, and 789 kDa) decreased in molecular weight by 46%–51% in the 15‐min treatment, 55%–60% in the 30‐min treatment, and 60%–62% in the 60‐min treatment. The addition of 0.1%–1.0% (v/v) concentrations of hydrogen peroxide to the chitosan solution autoclaved for 15 min decreased viscosity by 94%–98% and molecular weight by 69%–83%. This process is a simple, timesaving, homogeneous depolymerization procedure, and it is possible to prepare partially hydrolyzed chitosan with specified molecular weights by regulating the time of treatment. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Comparatively electrochemical studies at different operational temperatures for the effect of nanoclay platelets on the anticorrosion efficiency of DBSA-doped polyaniline/Na-MMT clay nanocomposite coatings

In this paper, DBSA-doped polyaniline (PANI)/Na⁺-montmorillonite (MMT) clay nanocomposite (PCN) materials have been successfully prepared with dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid (DBSA) as emulsifier and dopant for the emulsion polymerization of aniline. The as-prepared DBSA-doped samples were subsequently characterized by FTIR spectroscopy, WAXRD patterns and TEM. It should be noted that the nanocomposite coating containing 1 wt.% of clay loading was found to exhibit an observable enhanced corrosion protection on cold-rolled steel (CRS) electrode at higher operational temperature of 50 °C, which was even better than that of uncoated and electrode-coated with PANI alone at room temperature of 30 °C based on the electrochemical parameter evaluations (e.g., E_corr, R_p, I_corr, R_corr and impedance). In this work, all electrochemical measurements were performed at a double-wall jacketed cell, covered with a glass plate, through which water was circulated from a thermostat to maintain a constant operational temperature of 30, 40 and 50 ± 0.5 °C. Moreover, a series of electrochemical parameters shown in Tafel, Nyquist and Bode plots were all used to evaluate PCN coatings at three different operational temperatures in 5 wt.% aqueous NaCl electrolyte. Effect of material composition on the molecular weight and optical properties of neat PANI and PCN materials, in the form of solution, were studied by gel permeation chromatography (GPC) and UV-vis spectra, respectively. Finally, electrical conductivity at three different operational temperatures of PANI and PCN powder-pressed pellets doped with different inorganic acids such as HCl, HNO₃ and H₂SO₄ was also investigated through the measurements of standard four-point-probe technique.

Effects of the o‐aromatic ring in the molecular chain on the properties of polyester polyols

A series of liquid polyester polyols from adipic acid (AA), phthalic anhydride (PA), ethylene glycol, propanediol‐1,2, and trihydroxymethylpropane, varying in the molar ratio of PA to AA, were prepared. The effects of the o‐aromatic ring in the molecular chain, which came from PA, on the viscosity, glass‐transition temperature, and thermal degradation temperature of the polyester polyols were studied with viscometry, differential scanning calorimetry, and thermogravimetry. The intrinsic viscosity and glass‐transition temperature increased with the concentration of the o‐aromatic ring increasing. The temperature of the maximum thermal degradation rate for aliphatic polyester polyols was 434.20°C. Two steps of thermal degradation were found when there were o‐aromatic rings in the molecular chain. One thermal degradation temperature was 358.36–360.48°C, and the other was 412.85–427.18°C. Polyester polyols with o‐aromatic rings had higher stability at lower temperatures (<240.00°C). However, aliphatic polyester polyols had higher stability at higher temperatures (300.00–480.00°C). The activation energy and order of degradation were calculated from thermogravimetric curves. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 83: 1617–1624, 2002
