Barocalorimetric technique for monitoring pressurized copolymer reactors

The problem of on‐line estimation of the conversion and composition evolutions in a pressurized batch copolymer reactor with temperature and pressure measurements was addressed. The estimation model consisted of mass and energy balances with a pressure equation built from phase‐equilibrium considerations. The application of a nonlinear geometric estimation approach yielded the underlying solvability condition with physical meaning, a straightforward estimator construction, and a conventional‐like tuning procedure. The resulting barocalorimetric estimator was an on‐line dynamic measurement processor with a model‐based predictor and a measurement‐driven corrector, and whose implementation did not require the polymerization rates and heat‐transfer coefficient function dependencies. The technique was tested with a representative laboratory styrene–butadiene system. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 96: 475–482, 2005     

Influences of metallic polymeric materials on the properties of fresh polyester and acrylic polymer concrete

To investigate the influences of three metallic polymeric materials in polyester and acrylic fresh polymer concretes (PCs), PC‐incorporated different levels of these materials have been investigated for their properties of fresh PC. The mix design was made and optimized for workability, strength, and economy, depending on the resin viscosity, the intended use, and the additional quantities of these polymeric materials. The properties investigated include workability, working time, and curing time of fresh PC. It is concluded that these polymeric materials offer the possibility of improving properties of polyester and acrylic fresh polymer concretes. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Effects of diacrylate monomers on the mechanical properties of polymer concrete made with wet aggregates

Because normal polymer concrete does not work well with wet aggregates, diacrylate (DA) monomers were evaluated for improving the mechanical properties of polymer concrete made with wet aggregates. Zinc diacrylate (ZDA) and calcium diacrylate (CDA) were each used as an additive to resins (two epoxies). The variables were the amount of diacrylate monomers and the aggregate conditions (wet or dry). Compressive strength, flexural strength, workability, working time, and curing time were measured. ZDA was found to improve the workability and the working time, and CDA was found to improve the compressive and the flexural strength. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Physicochemical properties of irradiated and loaded LDPE films with polyfunctional monomers

Polyfunctional monomers (PFMs), namely, trimethylol propane trimethacrylate (TMPTMA), trimethylol propane triacrylate, ethylene glycol dimethacrylate, and diethylene glycol diacrylate were blended with low‐density polyethylene (LDPE) and exposed to different doses of EB irradiation. Fourier transform infrared and ultraviolet and UV–vis spectroscopy of the unirradiated, irradiated, unloaded, and PFMs‐loaded LDPE films were studied under various irradiation doses up to 300 kGy. The degree of crosslinking and oxidative degradation, as measured by the spectroscopic parameters, were dependent on both the irradiation dose and the type of loaded PFMs. For all of the loaded monomers, the extent of crosslinking increased at different rates as a function of irradiation dose. TMPTMA monomer was the most efficient in enhancing the crosslinking of LDPE films compared to the other loaded monomers. However, the unloaded LDPE film showed the least extent of crosslinking. In addition, the EB‐radiation‐induced changes, such as trans‐vinylene formation, a decrease in vinyl and vinylidene unsaturation; and carbonyl double‐bond formation and change in crystallinity were correlated. The importance of these results on the prediction of the role of polyfunctional monomers in the production of crosslinked polymers is discussed. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Synthesis and kinetic studies of UV‐curable urethane‐acrylates

The UV‐curable urethane‐acrylates based on 2‐hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA)‐terminated polyurethane (PU) for lithographic and coating applications are investigated in this study. Series of PU prepolymers were made from 4,4‐diphenyl methane diisocyanate (MDI), poly(propylene oxide) glycol (PPG 400), poly(butylene adipate)glycol (PBA 500), or poly(tetramethylene oxide) glycol (PTMO 1000) and are terminated with HEMA. The 2,2‐azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN) was used as a UV‐initiator under air atmosphere. The curing kinetics of HEMA‐terminated PU film were studied. The curing analysis, using FTIR and reaction kinetics, indicate the reaction rate equation correlates well with the film thickness [T], initiator concentration [I], unreacted double bond concentration [C?C], and exposed energy [E] of the reaction system. The kinetic rate equation for the UV‐curable reaction can be written as © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 91: 3162–3166, 2004     

Vernonia oil–based acrylate and methacrylate polymers and interpenetrating polymer networks with epoxy resins

Acrylate and methacrylate monomers were obtained by reacting vernonia oil, a naturally epoxidized oil, with acrylic or methacrylic acid. The highest conversion (85–98%) of epoxy groups was obtained when the reaction was performed with an excess of the carboxylic acid at 100–120°C. The acrylate and methacrylate monomers of vernonia oil were characterized by IR and NMR spectroscopy. These monomers were then cured by sunlight in the presence of benzophenone to produce transparent films. In addition, interpenetrating polymer neworks (IPNs) were prepared in a two‐step technique from the sunlight‐cured methacrylate of vernonia oil, as the elastomeric component, in combination with a cured epoxy resin (a bisphenol A–type resin). Dynamic mechanical analysis showed good compatibility between the networks of the two cured polymers. An IPN with a 1 : 1 composition of the two polymer components exhibited the properties of a reinforced elastomer. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 91: 3835–3843, 2004
