Evaluation of Flow Ability Response in EVA Emulsion Preparation with Different Vinyl Acetate Percentage by Intrinsic Viscosity Measurement

Ethylene–vinyl acetate (EVA) copolymers were chosen for this work because they show different characteristics depending on their vinyl acetate (VA) percentage. EVA has a wide range of applications, including coating of photovoltaic cells and covering of tires and cables, as a consequence of the different varieties of the material depending on the VA percentage. To date, no study has been conducted yet to determine the relationship between VA percentage and the flow ability response of an emulsion. Previous studies commonly highlighted the effect of particle size and emulsifier concentration on the emulsion process, but none of these studies directly discussed the effect of VA percentage of an EVA copolymer on the flow ability response of an emulsion. In this study, correlation between polymer-interaction was studied through measurement of intrinsic viscosity

Correlations between the Rayleigh ratio and the wavelength for toluene and benzene

The values of the Rayleigh ratio of two pure liquid, toluene and benzene, at various wavelengths have been collected from the literature, and a correlation between the Rayleigh ratio and the wavelength in the form of power law has been developed for each liquid and can be used to compute accurately the Rayleigh ratio at any wavelength between 420 and 700 nm. The Rayleigh ratio scales with the wavelength with a power of −4.17 and −4.38, respectively, for toluene and benzene, which deviate significantly from the Rayleigh law (−4.0). However, if the effect of the wavelength on their refractive indexes is accounted for, the power is reduced to −4.0 and −4.2 for toluene and benzene, respectively.     

Improvement on the Carnahan-Starling Equation of State for Hard-sphere Fluids

Making use ofWeierstrass's theorem and Chebyshev's theorem and referring to the equations of state of the scaled-particle theory and the Percus-Yevick integration equation, we demon-strate that there exists a sequence of polynomials such that the equation of state is given by the limit of the sequence of polynomials. The polynomials of the best approximation from the third order up to the eighth order are obtained so that the Carnahan-Starling equation can be improved successively. The resulting equations of state are in good agreement with the simulation results on the stable fluid branch and on the metastable fluid branch.     

The viscosity of triethylamine vapor at low densities and in the saturated vapor phase

For the first time, results of high-precision measurements of the viscosity coefficient of triethylamine vapor at low densities are reported. The relative measurements with an all-quartz oscillating-disk viscometer were carried out along seven isochores at densities from 0.002 to 0.009 mol m⁻³ in the temperature range between 298 and 498 K. The uncertainty is estimated to be ±$\pm$0.2% at ambient temperature, increasing up to ±$\pm$0.3% at higher temperatures. First isothermal values were recalculated from the original experimental data and then evaluated with a first-order expansion for the viscosity, in terms of density. In addition, viscosity values of the saturated vapor were determined at low temperatures. The results are utilized to model the viscosity coefficient of triethylamine vapor at moderately low densities. A so-called individual correlation on the basis of the extended theorem of corresponding states was employed to describe the zero-density viscosity coefficient, whereas the Rainwater–Friend theory was used to represent the initial density dependence expressed as second viscosity virial coefficient.     

Comparison of the prediction power of 23 generalized equations of state: Part II — Parametric evaluation

The parameters contained in the 23 generalized equations of state (EOSs) studied in the first part of this research have been evaluated in the current study in order to determine conditions at which they should not be used. At first, for the studied generic van der Waals (vdW)-type EOSs it has been illustrated that what kind of temperature-dependence for the parameters involved such as the co-volume leads to infinite or negative isochoric and isobaric heat capacities at high pressures and how large the pressures are at which negative heat capacities occur. In the next step, the temperature-dependence and limiting behavior of the attraction parameters applied in the studied generic vdW-type EOSs have been investigated. Furthermore, the dominant trend of the second Virial coefficient in terms of the temperature has been explored for a generic vdW-type EOS taking into account the temperature-dependence of the attraction parameter and the prediction power of the studied EOSs for the second Virial coefficient have been tested against the experimental data. Thereafter, some useful remarks about the constraints in the solution of the EOS and the critical reduced pressure-reduced volume isotherm predicted by the studied EOSs have been presented. Finally, the main parameters of the studied EOSs, namely the thermal cohesion function and the co-volume of the studied generic vdW-type EOSs together with the second and third Virial coefficients of the studied truncated Virial-type EOSs have been examined for anomalies caused by particular conditions of the variables used to define them, i.e. the characteristic properties and the reduced temperature.     

Some connections between viscoelastic properties of PVC and plasticized PVC and molecular kinetics

A coupling model that has been shown in the past to be capable of relating macroscopically measured relaxation parameters to molecular ones has been presented. In this article the coupling model is applied to the analysis of stress relaxation data collected by Cama and Sternstein on PVC and plasticized PVC. The Kohlrausch-Williams-Watts form, exp — (t/τ*)^1?n, using n = 0.77 is found to be capable of describing the stress relaxation master curve at temperatures below the glass transition, T_g. From the temperature-independent apparent activation energy found by Cama and Sternstein, the primitive activation energy of the α-relaxation was calculated to be 7.5 kcal/mol, which is a reasonable value for the energy barrier to internal rotational isomerism in PVC. Support for this value is found from the data on two plasticized PVCs with different T_gs and apparent activation energies. By applying the coupling model in a similar manner, the primitive activation energies were found to be 8.5 kcal/mol for PVC plasticized with 6 pph dioctylphthalate and 7.7 kcal/mol for PVC plasticized with 6 pph tricresyl phosphate. Within experimental uncertainties, the three primitive activation energies can be considered to be the same. This finding is consistent with the physical basis for primitive activation energy and its identification with the internal rotation barrier, which should be independent of the type and amount of plasticizer in the system. Analysis of Cama and Sternstein's data on the effect of repeated stress aging on stress relaxation of quenched samples of PVC and plasticized PVC show that the coupling constant n increases systematically with each successive stress-aging cycle until it approaches the value for slow-cooled samples. These results are consistent with the notion that stress-aging changes the structural state of the glass in ways similar to physical aging.     

SOLVENT QUALITY AND SOLUTION BEHAVIOR OF NYLON 12

The refractive index increment,dynamic and static laser light scattering,intrinsic viscosity[η]and Huggins constant(K_H)of nylon 12 have been measured in m-cresol and sulphuric acid/water system at 10-60℃.The intrinsic viscosity,R_H,R_g,A_2,and(~2)~(1/2)(calculated from viscosity data)and"a"values of nylon 12 are found to be higher in m-cresol than in sulphuric acid.All these parameters decrease with the increase in water contents in sulphuric acid.The refractive index increment,K_H and activation energy show an opposite trend to that of[η].The intrinsic viscosity,R_H,R_g,A_2, and(~2)~(1/2) have maximum values around 30-40℃in sulphuric acid/water system,whereas in m-cresol they fall at about 20℃.It has been concluded that the variation in size,interaction parameter(second virial coefficient),[η]and K_H of the polymer solutions with the alteration in solvent composition and temperature are the out come of change in thermodynamic quality of solvents,selective adsorption,hydrogen bonding and conformational transitions.It has also been concluded that the increase in temperature first enhances the quality of the solvent,encourages hydrogen bonding and specific adsorption, and then deteriorates,bringing conformational transitions in the polymer molecules.However,the addition of water to sulphuric acid continuously deteriorates the solvent quality.This characteristic of the solvent system brings conformational changes in the polymer especially at low temperatures.

A modification of Koopmans' theorem by imposition of the virial theorem in molecules

Imposition of the virial theorem on Koopmans' theorem permits the introduction of some relaxation effect in the electronic cloud of atomic (less than 5%) or molecular (less than 1.3% for the systems studied) systems and a partitioning of the ionization energy. The method is applied in some diatomic hydrides. It is observed that the imposition of the virial theorem improves the ionization of the innermost molecular orbitals significantly, while the improvement is negligible for the outermost orbitals. The ionization energy is divided among three different terms that elucidate some aspects of the nature of the ionization process.     

Intrinsic field theory of chemical reactions

An intrinsic principle of least action is presented for the intrinsic dynamism of chemical reactions. Then, as the stationary trajectory, a meta-IRC (intrinsic reaction coordinate) draws a geodesic curve in a rigged Riemannian space. This establishes a geodesic law for the intrinsic dynamism. Moreover, a diagrammatic perturbation theory is formulated for the intrinsic dynamism, and a dynamical interaction between a chemically reacting system and a background system is investigated. Then, the structural stability of the system is discussed using a new concept of the dynamical potential field. An example is given in order to elucidate the present theory.Dedicated to Prof. Hermann Hartmann on the occasion of his 65th birthday.     

The first normal stress difference and viscosity in shear of liquid crystalline solutions of hydroxypropylcellulose: new experimental data and theory

The constitutive equations for liquid crystalline polymers recently proposed by one of us [1] are applied here to interpret the behaviour of the shear viscosity η and the first normal stress difference N₁() measured for liquid crystalline (LC) solutions of hydroxypropylcellulose in acetic acid. N₁( ) is observed to change from positive to negative and again to positive, as the shear rate increases, at lower concentrations, in the LC phase. The -values at which N₁ changes sign depend on the molecular mass (degree of polymerization) and on the concentration. η shows a small Newtonian plateau at low shear rates and a strong shear-thinning at higher values of . The rate of decrease of η in this region shows an “hesitation” similar to one previously observed in LC solutions of poly-γ-benzyl-L-glutamate PBLG. All these observations can be rationalized within the frame-work of Martins' theory. The expressions for N₁() and η derived from this theory fit very well (quantitatively) to the experimental data and some fundamental viscoelastic parameters of the system under study are thereby obtained for the first time.

Novel variational principles of chemical reaction

Minimum principles of chemical reaction coordinates are established. IRC (intrinsic reaction coordinate) draws the path of minimum distance from reactant to product. The distance is measured in the rigged configuration Riemannian space whose metric is determined by the distribution of the adiabatic potential energy. Moreover, minimum property of the intrinsic principle of least action is established for the intrinsic dynamism of chemical reaction. Minimum principle of the path connecting intercell boundary with cell is also discussed.

Non-emissive RuII Polypyridyl Complexes as Efficient and Selective Photosensitizers for the Photooxidation of Benzylamines

Five new Ru^II polypyridyl complexes bearing N-(arylsulfonyl)-8-amidoquinolate ligands and three of their biscyclometalated Ir^III congeners have been prepared and employed as photocatalysts ( PC s) in the photooxidation of benzylamines with O₂. In particular, the new Ru^II complexes do not exhibit photoluminescence, rather they harvest visible light efficiently and are very stable in solution under irradiation with blue light. Their non-emissive behavior has been related to the low electrochemical energy gaps and rationalized on the basis of theoretical calculations (DFT analysis) that predict low S₀←T₁ energy values. Moreover, the Ru^II complexes, despite being non-emissive, display excellent activities in the selective photocatalytic transformation of benzylamines into the corresponding imines. The presence of an electron-withdrawing group (-CF3) on the arene ring of the N-(arylsulfonyl)-8-amidoquinolate ligand improves the photocatalytic activity of the corresponding photocatalyst. Furthermore, all the experimental evidence, including transient absorption spectroscopy measurements suggest that singlet oxygen is the actual oxidant. The Ir^III analogues are considerably more photosensitive and consequently less efficient photosensitizers ( PS s).     

The failure of the Lennard–Jones n,m intermolecular potentials to represent some common gases

It is shown that none of the Lennard–Jones n,m intermolecular potentials can represent any of the gases, neon, argon, krypton, xenon, nitrogen, oxygen, hydrogen, methane, ethane, and propane. In particular, the second and third virial coefficients B^* and C^*, and , computed for these potentials cannot describe the experimental behavior of B, C, and V_T. This is demonstrated by their inability to match the temperature dependence of the dimensionless variable, , thus failing to satisfy a necessary condition for representing the PVT behavior of these gases.
