M.S., Department of Chemistry, Wright State University, 2009. “One-Pot” Oligomeric A 2 + B 3 Approach to Branched Poly(arylene ether sulfone)s: Reactivity Ratio Controlled Polycondensation The synthesis of fully soluble branched poly(arylene ether)s via an oligomeric A 2 + B 3 system, in which the A 2 oligomers are generated in situ, is presented. This approach takes advantage of the significantly higher reactivity toward nucleophilic aromatic substitution reactions, NAS, of B 2, 4-Fluorophenyl sulfone, relative to B 3, tris (4-Fluorophenyl) phosphine oxide. The A 2 oligomers were synthesized by reaction of Bisphenol-A and B 2, in the presence of the B 3 unit, at temperatures between 100 and 160 °C, followed by an increase in the reaction temperature to 180 °C at which point the branching unit was incorporated.

  • Improvement of Devulcanization Yield During Reclamation Ofwaste Tires
    Global Journal of Researches in Engineering Chemical Engineering Volume 13 Issue 1 Version 1.0 Year 2013 Type: Double Blind Peer Reviewed International Research Journal Publisher: Global Journals Inc. (USA) Online ISSN: 2249-4596 & Print ISSN: 0975-5861 Improvement of Devulcanization Yield during Reclamation of Waste Tires By Dr. Kalrenganathan Sharma Lone Star College University Park Abstract - Waste tire recycling has become a bigger environmental problem. Despite regulations waste tires are stockpiled and often are breeding ground for west Nile virus and mosquitoes that cause pandemic. A number of times waste tires are incinerated or pyrolysis. Reclamation of value in the rubber portion of the waste tires may be more profitable and more environmentally benign compared with incineration and fuel use methods. Devulcanization and depolymerization reactions can lead to recovery of polybutadiene and butadiene monomer. Competing parallel reactions after the devulcanization step is studied in more detail. Dynamics of the general Denbigh scheme of reactions in a CSTR is studied. The composition of the species involved is obtained as a function of time from model solutions. A general state space form is proposed for simultaneous series-parallel reactions. Types of instability that may arise depends on the eigenvalues of the system. The Eigenvalues of the sparse matrix indicate that the system is of the integrating type. Solutions can be obtained from the eigenvalues for 7 species. Information from the model solution can be used to optimize the yield of rubber during reclamation of rubber from waste tires.

Alan Hatton, and Gregory C. Rutledge* Department of Chemical Engineering, Massachusetts Institute of Technology 77 Massachusetts Avenue, Cambridge Massachusetts, 02139, USA E-mail: [email protected] Abstract: The applications of electrospun carbon fiber webs to the development of energy storages devices, including both supercapacitors and lithium ion batteries (LIB), are reviewed. Following a brief discussion of the fabrication process and characterization methods for ultrafine electrospun carbon fibers, recent advances in their performance as supercapacitors and LIBs anode materials are summarized. Optimization of the overall electrochemical properties of these materials through choice of thermal treatment conditions, incorporation of additional active components (such as carbon nanotubes, metal oxides, and catalysts), and generation of novel fibrous structures (such as core-shell, multi-channel or porous fibers) is highlighted. Further challenges related to improving the conductivity, surface area, and mechanical properties of the carbon nanofiber webs, as well as the scale-up ability of the fabrication technique, are discussed.

Iancu Bacalu, nr.3, Iasi-700029, Romania; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +40-232-217454 Received: 14 August 2019; Accepted: 25 September 2019; Published: 27 September 2019 Abstract: Polyimides (PIs) represent a benchmark for high-performance polymers on the basis of a remarkable collection of valuable traits and accessible production pathways and therefore have incited serious attention from the ever-demanding medical field. Their characteristics make them suitable for service in hostile environments and purification or sterilization by robust methods, as requested by most biomedical applications. Even if PIs are generally regarded as “biocompatible”, proper analysis and understanding of their biocompatibility and safe use in biological systems deeply needed. This mini-review is designed to encompass some of the most robust available research on the biocompatibility of various commercial or noncommercial PIs and to comprehend their potential in the biomedical area. Therefore, it considers (i) the newest concepts in the field, (ii) the chemical, (iii) physical, or (iv) manufacturing elements of PIs that could affect the subsequent biocompatibility, and, last but not least, (v) in vitro and in vivo biocompatibility assessment and (vi) reachable clinical trials involving defined polyimide structures. The main conclusion is that various PIs have the capacity to accommodate in vivo conditions in which they are able to function for a long time and can be judiciously certified as biocompatible.

  • Synthesis and Some Solution Properties of Block Copolymer Styrene—Acrylonitrile
    Synthesis and some solution properties of block copolymer styrene—acrylonitrile V. CHRÁSTOVÁ, D. MIKULÁŠOVA, P. CITOVICKÝ, and J. SCHENKMAYER Department of Chemical Technology of Plastics and Fibres, Slovak Technical University, CS-812 37 Bratislava Received 19 June 1986 Styrene—acrylonitrile block copolymers were synthesized by emulsion polymerization at 30 °C, in which peroxide of powdered isotactic polypropyl­ ene as a heterogeneous initiator, disodium salt of ethylenediaminetetraace- tic acid as an activator, and Slovasol 2430 as a nonionic emulsifier were used. For the preparation of the block copolymer one of the characteristic proper­ ties of the mentioned polymerization system, i.e. the existence of long-living polystyrene radical in emulsion was evaluated. After removing of the initia­ tor the first monomer — styrene was polymerized up to a certain conversion and then acrylonitrile was added to the growing polystyrene radicals. A block copolymer was formed, which contained a pure polystyrene block and an acrylonitrile sequence with fragments of styrene. The obtained co­ polymers with various styrene—acrylonitrile ratio were characterized by IR spectroscopy. By means of viscometry and light scattering some of their properties in methyl ethyl ketone and ^TV-dimethylformamide were stud­ ied. Блок-сополимеры стирола и акрилонитрила были получены по­ средством эмульсионной полимеризации при 30 °С, в которой применя­ лись перекись порошкообразного изотактического полипропилена в качестве гетерогенного инициатора, двунатриевая соль этилен- диаминтетрауксусной кислоты в качестве активатора и Словасол 2430 в качестве неионного эмульгатора. В целях получения блок-сополимера оценивалось одно из характеристических свойств упомянутой по- лимеризационной системы, а именно присутствие долгоживущих по­ листирол ьных радикалов в эмульсии. После устранения инициатора первый мономер — стирол — полимеризовался до определенной степени конверсии, а затем к растущим полистирольным радикалам добавлялся акрилонитрил.

  • Technical Datasheet: Udel® P-1700
    Udel® P-1700 Polysulfone Solvay Specialty Polymers www.ulprospector.com Technical Data Product Description Udel® P-1700 polysulfone (PSU) is a tough, rigid, high-strength thermoplastics suitable for continuous use up to 300°F (149°C). It is resistant to oxidation and hydrolysis and withstand prolonged exposure to high temperatures and repeated sterilization. Udel® P-1700 polysulfone is highly resistant to mineral acids, alkali and salt solutions. Resistance to detergents and hydrocarbon oils is good, but the resin may be attacked by polar solvents such as ketones, chlorinated hydrocarbons and aromatic hydrocarbons. These resins are also highly resistant to degradation by gamma or electron beam radiation. Electrical properties of Udel® P-1700 polysulfones are stable over a wide temperature range and after immersion in water or exposure to high humidity. The resins comply with FDA 21 CFR 177.1655 and may be used in articles intended for repeated use in contact with foods. Additionally, they are approved by the NSF, by the Department of Agriculture for contact with meat and poultry and by the 3-A Sanitary Standards of the Dairy Association. • Transparent: Udel® P-1700 CL 2611 CMP • Transparent: Udel® P-1700 NT 06 • Transparent: Udel® P-1700 NT 11 • Opaque Black : Udel® P-1700 BK 937 • Opaque White: Udel® P-1700 WH 6417 • Opaque White: Udel® P-1700 WH 7407 • Opaque Gray: Udel® P-1700 GY 8057 General Material Status • Commercial: Active Literature 1 • Technical Datasheet UL Yellow Card 2 • E36098-231084 • Solvay Specialty Polymers Search for
