Production of Polymers from the Seed Oil of Crambe Abyssinica. IV. Polyamides Based on Tridecanedioic (Brassylic) Acid

Brassylic acid from crambe oil was used to synthesize 613 and 1013 polyamides by conventional melt polycondensation. The physical properties were compared to those of a commercial nylon 612: the polymers were melt-spun to monofilaments whose mechanical properties and moisture isotherms were found. Wide-angle x-ray diffraction patterns were determined, and a preliminary attribution of crystal structure made.     

Production of Polymers from the Seed Oil Of Crambe Abyssinica. I. Isolation of Tridecanedioic (Brassylic) Acid

Methyl erucate has been separated from the mixed esters of the fatty acids obtained from the seed oil of Crambe abyssinica. Oxidative cleavage of erucic acid to give brassylic and pelar-gonic acids has been examined. The brassylic acid yield by nitric acid oxidation is less than that from reaction with potassium permanganate which in turn is less productive than ozonolysis. The overall yield of high-purity brassylic acid is 62.4% based on the methyl erucate fraction or 36.4% referred to the seed oil.     

Production of Polymers from the Seed Oil of Crambe Abyssinica. II. PVC Plasticizers Based on Tridecanedioic (Brassylic) Acid

Brassylic acid obtained from crambe oil has been used to make linear polyesters by condensation with 1, 3-butandiol; other polyesters were synthesized for comparison purposes. Number-average molecular weights were determined from the saponification equivalent and by vapor-phase osmometry; viscosity measurements are also reported. These polymers, together with comparison materials, have been evaluated as plasticizers for polyvinyl chloride). The poly(butan brassylates) give plasticized PVC having good mechanical properties at room temperature and, except for extraction with hydrocarbon, with low migration of plasticizer and which are particularly good in retaining flexibility at low temperatures.     

Effect of Chain Length of Polyethylene Glycol and Crosslink Density (NCO/OH) on Properties of Castor Oil Based Polyurethane Elastomers

The equilibrium swelling study of polyurethanes (PU) was carried out in various solvents in order to calculate their solubility parameter. The kinetics of swelling and sorption have also been studied in 1,4‐dioxane at 30°C. The PU was synthesized by reacting a novel polyol (castor oil derivative and epoxy based resin, EpxR) and one of the polyethylene glycols (PEG 200, PEG 400, PEG 600) with different weight compositions, with a toluene diisocyanate (TDI) adduct (derived from toluene diisocyanate and R60 polyol). Different NCO/OH ratio viz. 1, 1.3 and 1.7 were employed in the study. The results were found to vary with the weight composition of polyol components, as well as the crosslink density of the samples. The sorption behavior is also found to vary with the molecular weight of polyethylene glycol employed in the preparations of the polyurethanes. Kinetic studies of swelling revealed that the sorption is anomalous in nature. The diffusion coefficient (D) increased with an increase in the NCO/OH ratio and decreased with an increase in chain length of polyethylene glycol. The sorption coefficient (S) decreased with an increase in crosslink density (NCO/OH) and increased with increasing polyethylene glycol (i.e., PEG 200, PEG 400, and PEG 600) moieties in the polyurethanes. The molecular weight between two crosslink points was calculated using the Flory Rehner equation (24), and hence, the number of chains per unit volume (N) and degree of crosslinking (ν) in all the samples were determined.     

Chromium(III) Ion Selective Electrode Based on Oxalic Acid Bis(Cyclohexylidene Hydrazide)

A poly(vinyl chloride) membrane sensor based on oxalic acid bis (cyclohexylidene hydrazide) as membrane carrier was prepared and investigated as a Cr(III)‐selective electrode. The electrode reveals a Nernstian behavior (slope 19.8±0.4 mV decade^?1) over a wide Cr(III) ion concentration range 1.0×10^?7–1.0×10^?2 mol dm^?3 with a very low limit of detection (i.e., down to 6.3×10^?8 mol dm^?3). The potentiometric response of the sensor is independent of the pH of the test solution in the pH range 1.7–6.5. The electrode possesses advantage of very fast response, relatively long lifetime and especially good selectivity to wide variety of other cations. The sensor was used as an indicator electrode, in the potentiometric titration of chromium ion and in the determination of Cr(III) in waste water and alloy samples.     

Preparation and Characterization of Head-to-Head Polymers. III. Head-to-Head Poly (methyl Crotonate)

Alternating copolymers of cis-butene-2 and maleic anhydride were esterfied to the methylester which corresponds to head to head (H-H) poly(methyl crotonate).

The chemical, physical, and mechanical properties and thermal degradation behavior of H-H poly (methyl crotonate) was studied and compared with the properties of head to tail (H-T) poly(methyl crotonate). This latter polymer was made by a known anionic polymerization technique and was, unlike the amorphous H-H polymer, partially crystalline. The T_g of H-H polymer was found to be higher than that of the H-T polymer. Thermal degradation behavior of H-H and H-T polymer was between the degradation behavior of H-H and H-T poly(methyl cinnamate) and poly (methyl acrylate). Poly (methyl crotonates) degraded to a substantial part to small molecules and char; methyl crotonate was found among the degradation products. H-H Poly (methyl crotonate) gave also butene-2 and a mixture of dimethyl maleate and dimethyl fumarate on pyrolysis.

Ratiometric Fluorescent Sensor Based on Tb(III) Functionalized Metal-Organic Framework for Formic Acid

Formic acid is a common chemical raw material, the effective detection of which is of importance to food safety and environmental quality. In this work, the lanthanide functionalized dual-emission metal-organic framework (TH25) was prepared as a ratiometric fluorescent sensor for formic acid. This ratiometric sensor has a good detection performance with high selectivity, sensitivity, and reproducibility. Together with a low limit of detection of 2.1 ppm, these characters promise the ability to sense at low levels as well as a practical detection ability. This work provides ideas for the design and synthesis of effective chemical sensors for organic acids.

Studies on Cobalt(III) Metallosurfactants. Kinetics and Mechanism of Reduction of Cobalt(III) by Iron(II) in Aqueous Acid Medium

The kinetics and mechanism of reduction of the surfactant complex ions, cis-chloro/bromo(dodecylamine)(triethylenetetramine)cobalt(III) by iron(II) in aqueous solution were studied at 303, 308 and 313 K by spectrophotometry under pseudo-first-order conditions using an excess of the reductant. The second-order rate constant increases with cobalt(III) concentration and the presence of aggregation of the complex itself alters the reaction rate. The reductions are acid-independent in the range [H⁺] = 0.05–0.25 mol dm⁻³. Variation of ionic strength (μ) influences the reaction rate. Activation and thermodynamic parameters have been computed. It is suggested that the reaction of Fe²⁺(aq) with the cobalt(III) complex proceeds by an inner-sphere mechanism. The critical micelle concentration (CMC) values of these surfactant metal complexes in aqueous solution were obtained from conductance measurements. Specific conductivity data (at 303, 308 and 313 K) served for the evaluation of the temperature-dependent CMC and the standard Gibbs energy of micellization (ΔG_m⁰).     

Polymers derived from fluoroketones. III. Monomer synthesis,polymerization, and wetting properties of poly(allyl ether) and poly(vinyl ether)

The synthesis and polymerization of a series of perhaloalkyl allyl and vinyl ethers derived from perhaloketones is described. Data on the critical surface tension of wetting (γ_c) for high molecular weight polymers of heptafluoroisopropyl vinyl ether and low molecular weight poly(heptafluoroisopropyl allyl ether) is also presented. Preparation of the allyl ethers is a one-step, high-yield displacement reaction between the potassium fluoride–perhaloacetone adduct and an allyl halide, such as allyl bromide. The vinyl ethersare prepared by a two-step process which involves displacement of halide from a 1,2-dihaloethane with a KF–perhaloacetone adduct and dehydrohalogenation of the 1-halo-2-perhaloalkoxyethane to a vinyl ether. Low molecular weight polymers were obtained with heptafluoroisopropyl allyl ether by using a high concentration of a free-radical initiator. The low molecular weight poly(heptafluoroisopropyl allyl ether) had a γ_c of 21 dyne/cm. No polymer was obtained with tributylborane–oxygen or with VCl₃–AIR₃, with gamma radiation, or by exposure to ultraviolet light. High molecular weight polymers were obtained from heptafluoroisopropyl vinyl either by using either lauryl peroxide or ultraviolet light but not by exposure to BF₃–etherate. The γ_c for poly(heptafluoroisopropyl vinyl ether) ranged from 14.2 to 14.6 dyne/cm., and the significance of this value is discussed in relation to the γ_c for poly(heptafluoroisopropyl acrylate).
