| Wear of Polymers in the Pin-on-Disc Configuration, |
APR 1984 |
|
| Authors:
B. J. Briscoe; T. A. Stolarski; AMERICAN CHEMICAL SOCIETY WASHINGTON DC
|
 | A common simulation technique which is used to evaluate the wear of polymers is to slide the polymer, usually in the form of a pin, over the surface of a rotating disc. There are two obvious configurations. The pin may be loaded (along its major axis) either in a direction normal to or parallel with the axis of rotation. Hence the contact area is produced on the edge or the ... |

R. D. Deanin; C. S. Nadkarni; AMERICAN CHEMICAL SOCIETY WASHINGTON DC
|
| The effects of the addition of thermosetting phenolic, melamine and molding powders to the clean light fluff remaining from auto scrap (after the metal is recovered) on the structural properties of the molded panels was investigated. The fluff is a mixture of plastics, rubber and fibers. The resulting molded panels show promise for being very useful in a variety of building and construction applications. (LS-PL). |

| Authors:
R. D. Deanin; A. R. Yniguez; AMERICAN CHEMICAL SOCIETY WASHINGTON DC
|
| When junked autos are ground in a shredder and the metal is recovered for recycling, the remaining light fluff fraction contains a mixture of plastics, rubber, fibers, and dirt. Washing and density fractionation remove the dirt, leaving a clean light fluff. It has been found that the use of positive pressure during molding can produce sufficient thermplastic flow of the clean light fluff so that it can be compression-molded into ... |

| Coupling Agents, Primers and Additives for Adhesion, |
APR 1984 |
|
| Authors:
E. P. Plueddemann; AMERICAN CHEMICAL SOCIETY WASHINGTON DC
|
| The major difference between coupling agents on high-surface-area reinforcements and primers on surfaces of massive structures is the thickness and film property of the applied silane. Coupling agents are designed for chemical modification of a mineral surface with optimum theoretical performance at a monolayer coverage. Peel and flexural strength data are presented to illustrate the application of four silanes (each of differing molecular structure) as coupling agents, primers, and additives ... |

| Authors:
T. Fukushima; K. Motohashi; AMERICAN CHEMICAL SOCIETY WASHINGTON DC
|
| This report deals with dynamic processes of polymers often used as paints, coatings and finishes in housing, and also refers to their influence as the reduction in protective performance on the durability of reinforced concrete. The deterioration process of polymers by the simultaneous action of ultraviolet (UV) light and diffusive oxygen is explained theoretically based upon unsteady state dynamics. The parabolic law is derived for a typical path for the ... |

| Authors:
B. J. Briscoe; T. K. Wee; A. Winkler; M. J. Adams; AMERICAN CHEMICAL SOCIETY WASHINGTON DC
|
| The wear of fine monofilaments when they slide over one another has important practical consequences in the deformation behavior and the durability of fibrous assemblies. The flexibility of ropes and the tactile properties of fabrics are in many respects governed by these local forces. The frictional work produces surface damage and wear; hence the macroscopic response of an assembly is modified by deformation. Ultimately the damage is sufficient to undermine ... |

APR 1984 |
|
| Authors:
Rudolph D. Deanin; Saurabh H. Naik; AMERICAN CHEMICAL SOCIETY WASHINGTON DC
|
| The use of particulate fillers in polymers generally stiffens reversible properties such as modulus, but effects on ultimate failure properties appear to vary with the structure of the filler particles. Twenty-four fillers were studied to give a range of chemical composition, particle size, and particle shape. They were incorporated in a standard plasticized polyvinyl chloride formulation. Tensile properties were measured according to ASTM D-412, and abrasion loss according to ASTM ... |

|
| UV curable urethane acrylate systems based on isocyanatoethyl methacrylate (IEM) were investigated. IEM combines both the acrylate and isocyanate functionality into one molecule. Four series of materials were prepared based on four different polyols: polycarbonate, polypropylene oxide, polytetramethylene oxide, and polycaprolactone. The effects of polyol type and molecular weight along with crosslinker (N-vinyl pyrrolidone (NVP)) content on the structure-mechanical property relationships of IEM based UV curable urethane acrylates were studied ... |

| Silicone-hybrid polymer systems should possess a desirable combination of mechanical, physiological, wear and release properties. Silicone-urethanes appear to have particular promise. Alloying, polyblends, and copolymers have all been explored as avenues to commerially practical products. An alternative technology for producing hybrid polymer systems is the use of interpenetrating polymer networks. A reactive process technology was developed that is compatible with conventional thermoplastic processing. While this technoloy was originally developed for ... |

|
| Authors:
C. L. Wang; D. Klempner; K. C. Frisch; AMERICAN CHEMICAL SOCIETY WASHINGTON DC
|
| Urethane elastomers are segmented copolymers containing hard and soft segments. The hard and soft segments are generally incompatible, and the degree of phase separation has a great influence on the properties of elastomers. Morphological and mechanical property data are presented for a new variety of polyurethanes which include isocyanurate groups formed by the cyclotrimerization of diisocyanate. The presence of the heterocyclic isocyanurate rings in the urethane network increases the crosslink ... |

| Compatibility Between Segmented Polyurethanes and Poly(N-Vinyl Pyrrolidone), |

| Authors:
S. H. Egboh; AMERICAN CHEMICAL SOCIETY WASHINGTON DC
|
| The compatibility between segmented polyurethanes and poly (N-vinyl pyrrolidone) blends was examined. Viscosity, thermal, spectroscopic and electron microscopy studies show that these blends are compatible in all compositions. Compatibility between the polyurethanes and poly (N-vinyl pyrrolidone) could be due to complex formation betwwen the carbamate protons and the carbonyl oxygen of the poly (N-vinyl pyrrolidone). These blends may be of commerical applications. (Author, modified). |

| Cracks of varying length were introduced under tensile cycle loading into annealed sheets of polystyrene. The data were used for modeling the fracture of polystyrene. The fracture energy of polystyrene was formulated in terms of the observed fracture mechanism as a product of a material constant (the specific enthalpy of fracture) and the crack layer resistance moment (which is history dependent). The latter measures the extent of damage dissemination associated ... |

| Isocyanurate-urethane elastomers were prepared using cyclohexane diisocyanate (CHDI) as the isocyanate. Polyether polyols were used to synthesize the elastomers because of their superior hydrolytic resistance. The molecular weight of the polyether polyol displayed some effect on the optimum mechanical properties of the elastomers. (Author). |

The sealant/coating system works well initially and there is apparently adequate adhesion between polysulfide sealant and polyurethane coating. Upon extended aging debonding occurs resulting in development of leaks. Factors responsible for poor adhesion of the polysulfide sealant to aged polyurethane are defined. Concentration changes in NCO groups during curing of polyurethane coatings ... |

| Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy was used along with differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) to monitor the cure reactions of several polyurethane coating systems containing blocked isocyanates. The speed and high sensitivity of FT-IR proved to be a valuable technique for determining the conversion curve as a function of temperature by obsevrving changes in the absorbance of various functionalities involved in the cure process.
