Structural and Kinetic Features of Formation of High-Strength Epoxy-Amine Cross-Linked Polymers by Combined Polycondensation-Polymerization Process

To control the structural contributions of the polycondensation and polymerization curing of epoxy resins, the curing kinetics of the composites diepoxide-tertiary amine and diepoxide-(primary + tertiary) amines is studied by the isothermal calorimetry.     

Photosensitivity of holographic recording media based on films of polymer compositions with cadmium sulfide nanoparticles

The effect of doping with CdS nanoparticles of recording medium films for the thermoplastic holographic recording process, which are based on photosemiconductors (oligomers and cooligomers of glycidylcarbazole) and a dielectric (a styrene copolymer with octyl methacrylate) containing a photoconductivity sensitizer, on their photosensitivity was studied. The enhancement of photosensitivity of films by doping with nanoparticles is associated with the appearance of an additional channel for transport of electrons generated from sensitizer molecules. A difference in informational properties between the oligomer and the polymer films was revealed.     

Mechanism of the Reaction of Xenon Tetraoxide with Hydrogen: A Photochemical Reaction

The dependence of the rate of a photochemical reaction of XeO₄with H₂on the concentrations of H₂and the diluent gases He and CO₂is studied at room temperature. The results are compared with the data for the dark reaction. A mechanism with the elementary energetic branched-chain reaction OH (v) + XeO₄OH + O + XeO₃is proposed to explain the results of the study.
