Effect of Stoichiometric Ratio on the Interfacial Polymerization Of Effect of stoichiometric ratio on the interfacial polymerization of polyamides Why worry about polymer science? John Droske Polymer Education "Approximately 50% of all chemists will work with polymers at some time in their careers," says John Droske, professor of chemistry at the University of Wisconsin–Stevens Point and director of the POLYED National Information Center for Polymer Education. "Because polymer science touches on many areas, it is important for chemists to be trained in polymer science." The POLYED has been working with a National Science Foundation grant to develop materials for polymer chemistry courses at the undergraduate level. http://portal.acs.org/portal/acs/corg/content?_nfpb=true&_pageLabel=PP_ARTICLEMAIN &node_id=1188&content_id=CTP_003399&use_sec=true&sec_url_var=region1 Students should be exposed to the principles of macromolecules across foundation areas, which could then serve as the basis for deeper exploration through in depth course work or degree tracks ACS Guidelines for Undergraduate Professional Education in Chemistry http://portal.acs.org/portal/fileFetch/C/WPCP_008491/pdf/WPCP_0084 91.pdf What is a polymer (a.k.a macromolecule)?

BURMEISTER, EDITOR ON THE COVER THREE Newly Renovated Organic Laboratories! # 3 8 - P AGE I BLU E H E N C H E MIST ON THE COVER One of the three newly-renovated Organic Chemistry teaching laboratories (QDH 302) is shown. Work on the labs (QDH 112, 318, 320) started on May, 2013 and was completed in February of this year. The refurbishment of the labs was a crucial step in the ongoing revision of the Organic Chemistry laboratory curricula. The additional fume hoods allow each student to conduct experiments individually while minimizing their exposure to chemical reagents. The transparent glass construction helps teaching assistants observe students while they work. The hoods are equipped with inert-gas lines, which can allow the students to work with air-sensitive compounds and learn advanced laboratory techniques. The hoods are also equipped with vacuum lines, which obviate the need for water aspirators and dramatically reduce the labs' water usage. The lab design also allows for instrumentation modules to be swapped in and out according to the needs of the experiment. Carts are designed to house instruments such as gas chromatographs and infrared spectrometers as well as any necessary computer equipment. These carts can then be wheeled into docking areas that have been fitted with the necessary inert gas and electrical lines. The design expands the range of possible instrumentation the students can use while occupying a small footprint of lab space. The labs also feature large flat screen monitors, wireless internet, and computer connectivitiy that will enable the use of multimedia demonstrations and tablet computing.

Anton Chekhov ABSTRACT The present thesis reports a novel, expedient linker species as well as previously unforeseen effects of physical molecular parameters on reaction entropy and thus equilibria with extensive implications on diverse fields of research via the study of dynamic ligation chemistries, especially in the realm of macromolecular chemistry. A set of experiments investigating the influence of different physical molecular parameters on reaction or association equilibria is designed. Initially, previous findings of a mass dependant effect on the reaction entropy – resulting in a more pronounced debonding of heavier or longer species – are reproduced and expanded to other dynamic ligation techniques as well as further characterization methods, now including a rapid and catalyst- free Diels–Alder reaction. The effects are evidenced via high temperature nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (HT NMR) as well as temperature dependent size exclusion chromatography (TD SEC) and verified via quantum chemical ab initio calculations. Next, the impact of chain mobility on entropic reaction parameters and thus the overall bonding behavior is explored via the thermoreversible ligation of chains of similar mass and length, comprising isomeric butyl side-chain substituents with differing steric demands.

  • Microstructure and Properties of Polytetrafluoroethylene Composites
    coatings Article Microstructure and Properties of Polytetrafluoroethylene Composites Modified by Carbon Materials and Aramid Fibers Fubao Zhang *, Jiaqiao Zhang , Yu Zhu, Xingxing Wang and Yuyang Jin School of Mechanical Engineering, Nantong University, Nantong 226019, China; [email protected] (J.Z.); [email protected] (Y.Z.); [email protected] (X.W.); [email protected] (Y.J.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +86-13646288919 Received: 12 October 2020; Accepted: 16 November 2020; Published: 18 November 2020 Abstract: Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is polymerized by tetrafluoroethylene, which has high corrosion resistance, self-lubrication and high temperature resistance. However, due to the large expansion coefficient, high temperature will gradually weaken the intermolecular bonding force of PTFE, which will lead to the enhancement of permeation absorption and the limitation of the application range of fluoroplastics. In order to improve the performance of PTFE, the modified polytetrafluoroethylene, filled by carbon materials and aramid fiber with different scales, is prepared through the compression and sintering. Moreover, the mechanical properties and wear resistance of the prepared composite materials are tested. In addition, the influence of different types of filler materials and contents on the properties of PTFE is studied. According to the experiment results, the addition of carbon fibers with different scales reduces the tensile and impact properties of the composite materials, but the elastic modulus and wear resistance are significantly improved. Among them, the wear rate of 7 µm carbon fiber modified PTFE has decreased by 70%, and the elastic modulus has increased by 70%. The addition of aramid fiber filler significantly reduces the tensile and impact properties of the composite, but its elastic modulus and wear resistance are significantly improved.

  • Syn Thetic Slings 87
    87 Synthetic Slings Synthetic Synthetic Slings Synthetic lifting slings are slings made with materials—yarns, webbing, rope, etc.—that are woven from synthetic or man-made fibers. Background Carbon steel was the dominant raw material used in rigging slings throughout the 19th and most of the 20th centuries. However, slings fabricated from synthetic fibers steadily gained popularity through the later half of the 20th century. Since the turn of the century, many industries and applications—such as aircraft construction and maintenance, aerospace, power generation, etc.— have moved entirely to the use of lightweight, high- strength synthetic slings, fabricated with the latest generation of synthetic fibers. Modern synthetic lifting slings have their origins in the development of the first true synthetic fiber in 1935 by Wallace Carothers of DuPont. DuPont marketers christened this fiber nylon, a made-up name derived from the “on” suffix of cotton and the arbitrary letters “nyl” that simply “sounded good” together. Nylon is a thermoplastic polymer made of repeating molecular units linked by amide bonds, and is often referred to as polyamide. It was the first commercially successful synthetic polymer. In the rigging industry, nylon has found wide use as the fiber of choice for inexpensive, light weight lifting slings fabricated from flat nylon webbing. Numerous other synthetic fibers have been developed since nylon was introduced, and many of these fibers—most notably polyesters—are woven or spun into materials used to fabricate a wide range of synthetic rigging types. Experience with nylon and polyester processing and manufacturing led to the development of aromatic © 2015 Yarbrough Cable Service, LLC Pride.

    2001 ANNUAL REPORT DuPont at 200 In 2002, DuPont celebrates its 200th anniversary. The company that began as a small, family firm on the banks of Delaware’s Brandywine River is today a global enterprise operating in 70 countries around the world. From a manufacturer of one main product – black powder for guns and blasting – DuPont grew through a remarkable series of scientific leaps into a supplier of some of the world’s most advanced materials, services and technologies. Much of what we take for granted in the look, feel, and utility of modern life was brought to the marketplace as a result of DuPont discoveries, the genius of DuPont scientists and engineers, and the hard work of DuPont employees in plants and offices, year in and year out. Along the way, there have been some exceptional constants. The company’s core values of safety, health and the environment, ethics, and respect for people have evolved to meet the challenges and opportunities of each era, but as they are lived today they would be easily recognizable to our founder. The central role of science as the means for gaining competitive advantage and creating value for customers and shareholders has been consistent. It would be familiar to any employee plucked at random from any decade of the company’s existence. Yet nothing has contributed more to the success of DuPont than its ability to transform itself in order to grow. Whether moving into high explosives in the latter 19th century, into chemicals and polymers in the 20th century, or into biotechnology and other integrated sciences today, DuPont has always embraced change as a means to grow.
