Applications of thermoelectrometry to metal-ion modified polyimide films

As part of a research program to decrease the electrical resistivity of polyimide films with ionic additives a variable temperature three probe electrical resistivity measurement system has been designed and constructed. Sample temperature, electrification time, atmosphere, and measurement mode are computer controlled. As a data interpretation aid, temperature cycled analysis can be routinely performed. Surface resistivities in the range 10³–10¹⁵ ohm and volume resistivities in the range 10⁵–10¹⁸ ohm-cm are theoretically measurable under well controlled experimental conditions from room temperature to 250°. The electrical resistivity measurement system is useful for the evaluation of polymer films or films in general. Application of the system for analysis of cobalt, lithium and tin ion-modified polyimide films and some experimental considerations are presented. Correlation of the electrical measurements with differential scanning calorimetry, thermomechanical analysis, and thermogravimetric analysis is demonstrated.

Zusammenfassung Als Teil eines Forschungsprogramms zur Herabsetzung des elektrischen Widerstandes von Polyimidfilmen mit ionischen Additiven wurde ein 3-Proben-Meßsystem zur Ermittlung des elektrischen Widerstandes in Abhängigkeit von der Temperatur entworfen und konstruiert. Probentemperatur, Elektrisierungszeit, Atmosphäre und Meßmethoden waren computergesteuert. Als Dateninterpretationshilfe kann eine hinsichtlich der Temperatur zyklische Analyse routinemäßig ausgeführt werden. Die Oberflächenwiderstände sind im Bereich von 10³–10¹⁵ Ohm und die Volumenwiderstände im Bereich von 10⁵–10¹⁸ Ohm-cm unter gut kontrollierten experimentellen Bedingungen von Raumtemperatur bis 250° theoretisch meßbar. Das elektrische Widerstandmeßsystem ist nützlich für die Bewertung von Polymerfilmen oder Filmen im allgemeinen. Die Anwendung des Systems zur Analyse von mit Co-, Li- und Sn-Ionen modifizierten Polyimidfilmen und einige experimentelle Hinweise werden angegeben. Es wird gezeigt, daß die mit dem beschriebenen System erhaltenen Resultate mit durch DSC, thermomechanische Analyse und TG erhaltenen Werten korrelieren.

Catalytic activity of high-silicon TsVK and Y type zeolites

Conversion of paraffins on TsVK and Y zeolites follow a similar mechanism yielding the same intermediates. Low selectivity of Y zeolites with respect to aromatic hydrocarbons is attributed to the strong adsorption of these hydrocarbons on zeolites. It is assumed that the centers of strong adsorption are Al³⁺ ions in cationic positions in zeolite.

Studies on use of differential thermal and thermogravimetric techniques for checking compositions of some drug formulations

The suitability of the differential thermal and thermogravimetric techniques for the determination of compositions of solid and soft drug formulations has been studied. A total of 117 pharmaceutical preparations have been examined, including powders, dusting powders, capsules, granulates, tablets, tablets for sucking, effervescent tablets, dragees, suppositories and ointments. Both techniques have been shown to be applicable for identification of pharmaceutical preparations. A specification has been made of thermal processes which can be employed for assaying the main components of the preparations. A rough estimate of the relative errors has been given.

A DSC study of thermally treated and UV-treated low-density polyethylene

The melting behaviour of thermally and UV-treated polymer film was studied using DSC. The melting profiles was registered after periods of 24 hours of exposure. The melting profiles after the UV-exposure resembled those observed after heating at 60°. A weak shoulder was first recorded at about 50° and was observed to shift to higher temperatures with increasing exposure time. At the end of the experiments the shoulder was registered around 80°. The changes are compared with results from mechanical tensile tests.

Zusammenfassung Das Schmelzverhalten eines thermisch und UV-behandelten Polymer-films wurde unter Anwendung der DSC untersucht. Das Schmelzprofil wurde nach 24-stündiger Behandlung registriert. Die Schmelzprofile nach UV-Behandlung ähnelten jeden, die nach Erwärmung auf 60° erhalten worden waren. Eine schwache Schulter wurde zuerst bei etwa 50° beobachtet, welche bei steigender Behandlungszeit in Richtung der höheren Temperaturen verschoben wurde. Am Ende der Versuche wurde die Schulter bei etwa 80° registriert. Die Änderungen wurden mit den Ergebnissen mechanischer Dehnteste verglichen.

Résumé On a étudié par analyse calorimétrique différentielle (DSC) le comportement pendant la fusion d'un polymère en film soumis à un traitement thermique et par UV. Les profils de fusion ont été enregistrés après des périodes d'exposition de 24 h. Les profils de fusion après traitement UV ressemblent à ceux obtenus après chauffage à 60 °C. Un faible épaulement vers 50° est d'abord enregistré puis il se déplace vers les températures plus élevées, quand la durée d'exposition augmente. En fin d'expérience l'épaulement se situe vers 80°. Ces modifications sont comparées avec les résultats obtenus à partir des essais mécaniques de traction.

Studies on the catalytic oxidation of propylene on ferric molybdate

Ferric molybdate is less selective in the partial oxidation of propylene than bismuth molybdate. Its catalytic behavior is similar to that observed on other transition metal molybdates. The intrafacial nature of the reaction is established through kinetic and adsorption measurements.

Interaction of super-finely dispersed Al powders with water

Interaction of super-finely dispersed Al powders (SFDP) with water is characterized by the presence of a considerable section on the kinetic curves, where the conversion rate is maximum and its degree is as high as =0.5–0.7. It is suggested that the essential factor accounting for the conversion kinetics and the phase composition of its products is the self-heating of Al particles.

Heterogeneous reactions of solid nickel(II) complexes,XII

The possibilities of correlating the structures and the stepwise thermal decomposition reactions of solid coordination compounds are discussed. The starting compounds were Ni(NCS)₂(py)₄, (py=pyridine), CuSO₄ · 5 H₂O and NiSO₄ · 7 H₂O, for which correlations of the above type were studied. It was found that the structural data on the initial compound alone are not sufficient to predict the stepwise course of the thermal decompositions of coordination compounds.

Kinetic studies of thiolane synthesis from tetrahydrofurane and H2S

Kinetic studies of tetrahydrofuran reaction with H₂S were carried out in a flow-circulation reactor. Presumably, the reaction takes place through dissociative chemisorption of reactants and the interaction of surface structures formed to produce thiolane and water. A kinetic equation that agrees with the suggested mechanism has been derived.

Competitive hydrogenation of binary olefin mixtures in the liquid phase

The effect of a series of alcohol solvents on the selectivity of the competitive catalytic hydrogenation of 1-hexene and 2-methyl-3-butene-2-ol on Pt/SiO₂ catalyst has been investigated. With increasing molecular mass of the alcohol, the rate of hydrogenation of 1-hexene becomes relatively preferred; the same was observed also with branched alcohols compared with those having a straight chain. Systems were found in which the degree of coating of the platinum catalyst with copper affected (or did not affect) the selectivity of the competitive hydrogenation of pairs of olefinic substrates.

Decomposition of cumene hydroperoxide in the presence of metal 1,2-dithiolate complexes

Metal 1,2-dithiolate complexes were studied as catalysts for decomposition of cumene hydroperoxide. Reaction proceeds by a two-stage process and the first stage, corresponding to destruction of the metal complex, is influenced by the type of metal and substituents on the dithiolate ligand. On average, almost two sulfur atoms in each metal chelate are oxidized to SO₂ or SO₃, which decompose the main part of hydroperoxide.
