Thermal techniques to study complex elastomer/filler systems

The transfer of heat through an elastomeric matrix is important for both the processing of the material and its subsequent lifetime. Thermal conductivity can be used to evaluate the influence of different polymers and fillers on heat transfer. Additionally, the dispersion of the filler has an effect on heat transfer and thermal conductivity measurements can be used to provide semi-quantitative estimations of filler dispersion. The degradation of sulfur-crosslinked elastomer systems has been studied for many years. The degradation of the crosslinks (changes in sulfur rank) and degradation of the polymer backbone by thermal and/or oxidative processes have been studied extensively using many techniques including thermal analysis (references). However, the degradation of the crosslinked-polymer 'network' is less well understood. The relationship of the crosslink network to this degradation process is a key to both the long term and higher temperature performance of the sulfur-crosslinked elastomer. The changes in physical properties observed upon exposure of sulfur-crosslinked elastomers can be monitored using dynamic mechanical analysis. Subsequently, other thermal techniques can be used to monitor the chemistry that is occurring during these degradations. Thermal desorption/mass spectroscopy and dynamic scanning calorimetry are used to complete the picture of the degradation processes taking place. Examples of these techniques will be provided to illustrate the utility of the analytical approach, the chemistry involved in these degradation processes and the effect of changes in the polymer, cure package and other ingredients.

Mechanical properties and transition temperatures of crosslinked-oriented gelatin

 This second part of a systematic study of the properties of crosslinked-oriented gelatin involves the effects of orientation and water content on the glass transition temperature T _g and on the melting behavior. The samples were the same as those in the preceding study, and their transition temperatures were determined by both differential scanning calorimetry and dynamic mechanical thermal analysis. The crosslinked gelatin which had been room-conditioned showed two transition temperatures: the lower one was attributed to T _g of the water-plasticized gelatin, and the higher one was interpreted as T _g of dried gelatin superimposed by melting. A rather unusual situation arose because of the fact that the T _g and melting temperatures T _m (217 and 230 ^°C, respectively) are so similar. Using water as plasticizer not only decreases T _g but produces imperfect crystallites which melt below the T _g of the system. The presence of the amorphous phase in the glassy state would presumably make it essentially impossible to define a melting point or crystallization temperature in the normal manner, as an equilibrium between crystalline and amorphous phases.

Nuclear‐Spin Polarization in Electron‐Transfer Reactions of Amines

Chemically induced dynamic nuclear polarization (CIDNP) observed during electron transfer (ET) reactions of tertiary amines such as DABCO ( 1 ) or Et₃N ( 2 ) with a wide range of electron acceptors support the involvement of amine radical‐cations (e.g., 1^{. +} or 2^{. +} ) as key intermediates. Radical ions such as 2^{. +} may be deprotonated, generating neutral aminoalkyl radicals (e.g., 2^. ). When generated by reaction with an electron acceptor of energetically low triplet state such as naphthalene (¹Naph*), the resulting pair 2^{. +} /Naph^.? reacts mostly by reverse electron transfer (RET) from triplet pairs populating the naphthalene triplet state.
