Elastic and Thermophysical Properties of Poly(Vinyl Chloride) and Chlorinated Polyethylene Blends

The results of experimental and theoretical investigations of elastic and thermophysical properties of poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) and chlorinated polyethylene (CPE) blends are presented. Eight types of specimens with different ratios of weight contents of PVC and CPE (PVC/CPE = 100/0, 90/10, 80/20, 60/40, 40/60, 20/80, 10/90, and 0/100) were tested. The effect of blend composition on the elastic constants (tensile and shear modulus) is discussed. The data on the thermal conductivity, thermal diffusivity, and heat capacity of the blends investigated are also presented.

Chromatographic characterization of thermally upgraded products from alternative fuels

An overview is presented of the analytical approaches developed by our research group over the last ten years for analysis of alternative fuel, both biomass and fossil. The alternative fuels are analyzed successively by PLC-8 (preparative liquid chromatography–group-type) fractionation and high resolution gas chromatography. Some of the possibilities for fractionation and characterization of alternative fuels are herein exemplified with sugar cane bagasse pyrolysis products.     

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of Di-n-butyltin(IV) Complex with 2-Oxo-propionic Acid (4-Pyridinecarbonyl) Hydrazone

Introduction The studies of diorganotin(IV) complexes are of current interest owing to their wide range of applica-tions such as biocides and homogeneous catalysts in industry.1 In recent years there have been more and more reports on the synthesis, antitumour activities and structural elucidation of various diorganotin(IV) deriva-tives of carboxylic acid.2-5 In particular, people take considerable interest in structural studies of diorgano-tin(IV) complexes of carboxylic acid, because there…     

Rheology of a mixture of liquid-crystal polymers in solution

The rheological behavior of a mixture of two liquid-crystal polymers, hydroxypropyl cellulose and ethyl cellulose, in acetone solution is studied. The total polymer concentration in the solvent is held constant (40%) as the ratio of the two polymers is varied. The mixtures are anisotropic, isotropic, or biphasic (isotropic/anisotropic), depending on the concentration. Curves of viscosity vs shear rate for all the mixtures studied show three regions of viscosity, as described by Onogi and Asada for liquid-crystal polymers. The viscosity as a function of the weight ratio of the two polymers at constant shear rate exhibits deviations from additivity of viscosities of the two components at all concentrations. In mixtures of two polymers in the melt, deviations are also observed; the negative ones are attributed to phase separation and the positive ones to homogenous mixing (comparison with the phase diagram). All the mixtures studied (anisotropic, isotropic, or biphasic), show ranges of shear rates where the first normal-stress difference is negative, as is generally observed for anisotropic liquid-crystal polymers. It is concluded that the isotropic solutions become anisotropic under shear, as they are not far from the critical concentration. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
