Influences of the locations of monomer and initiator in the seeded polymerization systems on the morphologies of micron-sized monodispersed composite polymer particles

Three kinds of micron-sized monodispersed polystyrene (PS)/poly(n-butyl methacrylate) (PBMA) composite particles (PS/BMA=2/1, wt. ratio) were produced by two kinds of seeded polymerizations ofn-butyl methacrylate (BMA) in the presence of about 2 m-sized monodispersed PS particles, and their morphologies were examined. One was produced by a seeded dispersion polymerization where almost monomers and initiators exist in an ethanol/water (1/1, w/w) medium. The others two were produced by seeded polymerizations utilizing the dynamic swelling method, where almost monomers exist in the PS seed particles, with 2,2-azobisisobutyronitrile initiator in the monomer-swollen particles and with 2,2-azobis [2-(2-imidazolin-2-yl)propane] initiator in an ethanol/water (1/5, w/w) medium. In the former polymerization, the produced composite particles had a core-shell structure consisting of a PS-core and a PBMA-shell, whereas in the latter two polymerizations, they had a POO (Polymeric Oil-in-Oil) structure consisting of a PS-matrix and many PBMA-domains, regardless of the location of initiator in the systems. From these results, it is concluded that the location of BMA monomer in the seeded polymerization systems with micron-sized monodispersed PS seed particles greatly affects the morphologies of produced PS/PBMA composite particles.Part CLI of the series Studies on Suspension and Emulsion

Kinetics and mechanism of substitution reactions of complexes,XX

Thermal decomposition of 21 complexes of the type [Co(DH)₂(amine)₂]NCS has been studied under the conditions of thermogravimetric analysis, by using different heating rates. From the thermogravimetric curves apparent kinetic parameters of the pyrolysis reaction have been derived by means of the modified Doyle method. Apparent reaction order increases and apparent activation energy decreases with increasing heating rate. Thus, the obtained kinetic parameters do not characterize the purely chemical reaction, but the complex heterogeneous process as a whole. The explanation of the observed effect is discussed. Results are compared with those obtained with other analogous complexes.

Zusammenfassung Die thermische Zersetzung von 21 Komplexen des Typs [Co(DH)₂(Amin)₂]NCS wurde thermogravimetrisch bei verschiedenen Aufheizungsgeschwindigkeiten untersucht. Aus den TG-Kurven wurden die scheinbaren kinetischen Parameter der Reaktion mit Hilfe der Doyleschen Methode ermittelt. Bei zunehmender Aufheizungsgeschwindigkeit wächst die scheinbare Reaktionsordnung während die scheinbare Aktivierungsenergie abnimmt. Die erhaltenen chemischen Parameter kennzeichnen nicht die eigentliche chemische Reaktion, sondern den ganzen komplexen heterogenen Vorgang. Die beobachteten Effekte wurden diskutiert und die Ergebnisse verglichen mit Resultaten von Untersuchungen anderer analoger Komplexe.

Résumé On a étudié par thermogravimétrie, avec différentes vitesses d'échauffement, la décomposition thermique de 21 complexes du type [Co(DH)₂(amine)₂SCN. On a calculé suivant la méthode deDoyle les paramètres cinétiques apparents déduits des courbes d'ATG. L'ordre apparent de la réaction augmente si la vitesse d'échauffement croît, alors que l'énergie d'activation apparente décroît. Les paramètres cinétiques obtenus ne caractérisent que le processus hétérogène complexe et non la réaction chimique proprement dite. Les effets observés ont été discutés et comparés avec les résultats obtenus avec d'autres complexes analogues.

Oxidation with MnO2 supported on Y,FAU zeolite

MnO₂ supported on Na-Y,FAU prepared as described in a previous paper has been tested for selective oxidation of benzyl alcohol to benzaldehyde. Experimental results have shown that oxidation is selective and stoichiometric under the conditions used, but the adsorption of the substrate and/or the product on the zeolite support decreases the yield of benzaldehyde.

The rate of liquid-phase hydrogenation of monoalkylphenols without solvent and in the absence of rate control by hydrogen diffusion to the catalyst indicate that the alkylphenol reactivity and the selectivity depend on the position and size of the alkyl substituent, affecting the electronic state of the aromatic ring and the charge on the carbonyl carbon atom of the ketone intermediate.

Kinetics and mechanism of the hydrogenation of substituted anthraquinones on Raney nickel catalysts

The rate and direction of the hydrogenation of anthraquinone has been established to depend considerably on the nature and position of the substituent as well as on the structure and phase composition of the catalyst. The selectivity of the process is increased by introducing electronaccepting substituents into the anthraquinone molecule or upon doping the Ni–Al alloy by additives increasing the M–H bond energy.

β-Cyclodextrin Mediated Synthesis of Syndiotactic-rich Polystyrene

Stereoregular polystyrene (PS) was prepared using various molarequivalents of -cyclodextrin (-CD) by polymerisingstyrene in the presence of -CD. Stereoregular (isotactic,atactic and syndiotactic) distributions of the preparedpolystyrene polymers were determined from terminal modelBernoullian statistics using ¹³C NMR data. Inclusioncomplexation of styrene by -cyclodextrin was detected byUV-Visible spectroscopy, which gave a binding constant value of31606 ± 3350 M^-1 for the 1 : 1 complex. With anincrease in the styrene : -CD ratios, the proportionof syndiotactic polymers increased. The glass transitiontemperature (T_g) of the polymer also increased along withmelting temperature (T_m) at higher styrene : -CDratios. In addition, the molecular weight of the polymers prepareddecreased with increase in the -CD concentration.     

Characterization of [Ni(py)4]Cl2 and its thermal decomposition

The stepwise thermal decomposition of [Ni(py)₄]Cl₂ was studied by means of a derivatograph. The stepwise mode of thermal decomposition allowed the preparation of new complexes. X-ray powder diffraction and IR methods were used to study the structures of the decomposition intermediates. [Ni(py)₄]Cl₂ was applied as a model substance. The decompositions of a great number of complex compounds of similar type have been reported, but only a few of them have been investigated structurally by single-crystal X-ray diffraction techniques due to the difficulty of obtaining large single-crystals.

The conditions for the existence of several steady states of the surface have been found for the simplest mechanism without the assumption of autocatalysis and without the effect of the medium on the catalyst.
