Effect of the degree of crosslinking on penetrant transport in polystyrene

The effect of the degree of crosslinking of glassy polymers on the transport mechanism of penetrants was investigated using a series of divinyl benzene (DVB)-crosslinked polystyrenes of nominal crosslinking ratio X from 0.001 38 to 0.060 mol DVB/mol styrene. The number average molecular weight between crosslinks, $\text{M}\text{?}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>c</mtext>}}$, was determined from equilibrium swelling experiments in cyclohexane. Dynamic swelling experiments with cyclohexane at 30°C showed that the mechanism of penetrant transport was anomalous. An overshoot in the penetrant uptake was observed, characteristic of macromolecular relaxations and of changing solubility of the cyclohexane in the continuously swelling polystyrene. Photographs of various samples during the swelling process showed that solvent crazing occurred predominantly in loosely crosslinked samples.

Changes in polymer foils used in food packaging tested by using differential scanning calorimetry

This work is an experimental study of the differential scanning calorimetry characterisation of polymer materials used in food packaging materials, such as polypropylene (0.03 mm), polyethylene (0.1 and 0.03 mm), poly(D-(-)-Β-hydroxybutyrate) (powder), two-layered polypropylene (0.064 mm), and two-layered polypropylene with poly-vinylidene-chloride (0.012/0.021). The polymer stability was checked by simulation of conditions during food preparation in microwave ovens, sterilisation or rapid freezing. The materials were tested in the temperature range from 40 to 200‡C at different scan rates from 2 to 30°C min⁻¹ during heating or cooling. The enthalpies show a high correlation coefficient (0.964) with scan rate. All samples undergo phase change in the temperature range from 107 to 173°C during heating and enthalpies are in the range from 31.8 to 71.1Jg⁻¹. Upon subsequent cooling from 200°C, the temperature range of phase changes is shifted to lower temperatures from 86 to 102°C with enthalpies ranging from 30.4 to 57.8 J g⁻¹. Experiments with exposure of polymers to microwave radiation and freezing prove that the phase change considering the temperature range is very similar in all experiments.     

Associative properties of perfluorooctyl end‐functionalized polystyrene–poly(ethylene oxide) diblock copolymers

The synthesis of 2,2,3,3‐tetrahydro‐perfluoroundecanoyl end‐functionalized polystyrene–poly(ethylene oxide) block (PS‐block‐PEO‐R_F) copolymers and their matching PS‐block‐PEO diblock copolymers was carried out by sequential anionic polymerization. Viscometry and ¹⁹F NMR studies show that the PS‐block‐PEO copolymers, in contrast to their matching PS‐block‐PEO‐R_F copolymers, exhibit a micellar rather than the associative behavior seen for the latter. However, the presence of an excess of fluorinated acid, used for end‐functionalization, produces a reduction of the associative behavior above the overlap concentration, with the fluorinated acid acting like a surfactant. A competition may also occur between PS—and R_F—mediated micellization. Copyright © 2004 Society of Chemical Industry     

Towards General Guidelines for Aligned,Nanoscale Assemblies of Hairy‐Rod Polyfluorene

This account highlights recent progress towards understanding the complex hierarchical levels of solid‐state structure in a prototypical helical hairy‐rod polyfluorene, poly[9,9‐bis(2‐ethylhexyl)fluorene‐2,7‐diyl] (or PF2/6). This branched‐side‐chain containing polyfluorene undergoes a systematic intermolecular self‐assembly and liquid‐crystalline phase behavior in combination with uniaxial and biaxial alignment. The latter processes yield full three‐dimensional orientation of the crystallites and polymer chains. Also reviewed are the impact of the molecular structure and phase behavior on surface morphology, anisotropic film formation, and, ultimately, the overall impact of these physical attributes on optical constants. This particular polyfluorene also represents a model system for demonstrating the applicability of mean‐field theory in detailing the self‐organization of aligned hairy‐rod block‐copolymer systems. These results of PF2/6 are compared to those of other archetypical π‐conjugated hairy‐rod polymers. General guidelines of how molecular weight influences nanostructure, phase behavior, alignment, and surface morphology are given.     

Soluble and conductive polypyrrole copolymers containing silicone tegomers

Soluble and processable conductive copolymers of silicone tegomers and pyrrole were developed. This was easily accomplished by the oxidative polymerization of pyrrole monomer by Ce(IV) salt in the presence of silicone tegomers with hydroxyl chain ends. The resulting copolymers were soluble in dimethylformamide. The products were characterized by Fourier transform infrared, ¹H‐NMR, and four‐point probe conductivity, and their surface properties were investigated with contact‐angle measurements. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Preparation of micrometer‐sized,monodisperse, magnetic polymer particles

Micrometer‐sized, monodisperse, magnetic composite particles were prepared by heating micrometer‐sized, monodisperse, hollow polystyrene/polydivinylbenzene composite polymer particles at 200°C for 4 h (particles had been dipped in pentacarbonyliron) and then washed in 12 N HCl and water. The hollow polymer particles were produced by seeded polymerization by the dynamic swelling method that was proposed by authors. The magnetic composite particles contained Fe₃O₄, the content of which was 49% based on total weight, and were attracted easily in water by a 1650 G magnet. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Bioresorbable and bioactive polymer/Bioglass® composites with tailored pore structure for tissue engineering applications

An overview about the development of porous bioresorbable composite materials for applications as scaffolds in tissue engineering is presented. A thermally induced phase separation method was developed to fabricate porous foam-like structures of poly(lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) containing bioactive glass particle additions (up to 50 wt.%) and exhibiting well-defined, oriented and interconnected porosity. The in vitro bioactivity and the degradability of the composite foams were investigated in contact with phosphate buffer saline (PBS). Weight loss, water absorption and molecular weight measurements were used to monitor the polymer degradation after incubation periods of up to 7 weeks in PBS. It was found that the presence of bioactive glass retards the polymer degradation rate for the time period investigated. The present results show a way of controlling the in vitro degradation behaviour of PLGA porous composite scaffolds by tailoring the concentration of bioactive glass.
