Electron beam crosslinking of non-lead PVC formulations

PVC samples with lead-free and lead-base stabilizer, containing TMPTMA (trimethylolpropane trimethacrylate) as a crosslinker and DOP (2-ethylhexyl phthalate) as a plasticizer, were electron beam treated at different doses (2–200 kGy) and characterized to evaluate crosslinking and other several properties, as a continuation of our previously reported paper, where these PVC formulations, typical for wire and cable applications, underwent gamma irradiation. The PVC was formulated with two different stabilizing systems: Ca/Zn and dibasic lead phthalate for comparison, to use them as jackets for a 22 wire gage (AWG). Small samples of the jacketed wires were irradiated in an industrial Dynamitron electron accelerator for the corresponding doses, along with two dosimetric systems: radiochromic thin film and alanine pellets dosimeters. The maximum dose applied was decided as the crosslinking increased, until the gel content was stable. The dose of 200 kGy was the condition for the highest crosslinking, so most of the wire was irradiated at such dose. Chemical and mechanical evaluations were carried out to the irradiated wire. The results show that 200 kGy was too high dose for the materials, since an important degradation is observed for the Ca/Zn systems. Unfortunately, such dose affects basically to CaZn formulations, which showed much poorer performance than classical lead-containing compositions. The results also indicate that gel content is not the best way of deciding the optimum condition for irradiation.

A DSC study of the effects of sugars on thermal properties of rice starch gels before and after aging

Thermal characterization of gelatinized binary rice starch-water and ternary starch-sugar-water gels before and after aging was carried out using differential scanning calorimetry. The glass transition temperature of the maximally freeze-concentrated solution (T_g) in both fresh and aged gels was observed to decrease progressively with increasing sugar concentration. Aging of the gels generally shiftedT_g to higher temperatures, but had little or no effect on the ice melting peak temperature (T _m). The presence of various sugars could either accelerate or retard starch (amylopectin) recrystallization, depending on the type and concentration of sugar, as well as on starch/water ratio. A hypothesis based on the dual antiplasticizing-plasticizing effects of sugars was postulated to explain the observed effects. Of the sugars studied, xylose and fructose appeared to display exceptional retardative and accelerative effects, respectively, on retrogradation.This study was funded by a Sixth Malaysia Plan R&D grant under the Intensification of Research Priority Areas (IRPA) Program of the Ministry of Science, Technology and Environment, Malaysia. We thank Dr. Harry Levine and Dr. Louise Slade for giving us the opportunity to contribute a paper to this special issue of JTA.     

An application of factorial design to the development of fused silica capillary columns

Stationary phase crosslinking conditions for fused silica capillary columns were optimized with the use of a factorial design experiment. This experimental strategy was chosen because it provided for the determination of two-factor interactions. A predictive model was developed for the desired chromatographic performance parameters as a function of the variables of the crosslinking reaction. Confirmatory experiments proved the usefulness of the mathematical model which resulted in the production of capillary columns of superior performance with significant improvements in reproducibility.

Penetration and Crosslinking of Macromolecules

One of the topical problems of macromolecular chemistry is the question of the extent to which macromolecules in solution or in the amorphous solid state can engage in mutual interpenetration. The present article is concerned primarily with recent investigations on cross-linking copolymerization and with inter-and intramolecular reactions of polymers as a contribution to the study of molecular shape.
