Effect of using mixed ion-pairs on PVC-membrane electrodes for ephedrine

Mixed ion-pairs based on the use of ephedrinium (EPH)-TPB plus EPH-reineckate (II) and phenylephrine-TPB plus EPH-reineckate (III) were tried for use in plastic membranes. The results were compared to those of an EPH-reineckate (I) single ion-pair electrode. The Nernstian slopes were 50, 49 and 55 mV decade^–1 for membranes I, II and III, respectively. The linear concentration ranges were 10^–5–10^–1, 4.0 × 10^–5–10^–1 and 6.3 ×^–5–10^–1 M ephedrine. The detection limits were 4 ×^–6,10^–5 and 1.2 × 10^–5 M ephedrine for membranes I, II and III, respectively. The pH ranges were 4–9, 3–9 and 2–8 for I, II and III-membranes, respectively. Selectivity coefficient values for membrane II were better than those for membranes I and III. The effects of increasing KC1 concentration and temperature changes were explained for the three electrodes. The isothermal temperature coefficients were 0.00145, 0.0007 and 0.00055 V/ °C for electrodes I, II and III. Electrode III was applied for the determination of ephedrine in its pharmeaceutical preparations with an overall relative standard deviation range of 1.3–2.4% and an overall mean recovery value of 98.1%.     

The recoil of rigid PVC

Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is widely used in industry, but it is difficult to find any extensive discussion of theological relations that describe it. The present paper discusses the behaviour of rigid PVC in extensional deformations at various temperatures. In the tests, a step elongation was applied at an initial time, then after a delay the specimen was cut, permitting recoil. Both linear and nonlinear strain regimes were studied; the linear relaxation properties (relaxation function, storage modulus) were cross-checked with eccentric-disk measurements. In the non-linear strain regime a single-integral constitutive equation of the KBKZ Wagner type was used. Separability of time and strain effects was demonstrated in our tests and so a damping function could be found which was only a function of strain. Video recordings of recoil were made, and detailed predictions of the strain-time behaviour were checked against experiments.Various constitutive equation proposals were used in the comparison, and the separated kernel integral irreversible model performed reasonably well; some other models of a differential type, and a Doi-Edwards model were not as accurate.Dedicated to Professor Arthur S. Lodge on the occasion of his 70th birthday and his retirement from the University of Wisconsin.     

Miscibility of PVC/PMMA blends by vicat softening temperature, viscometry, DSC and FTIR analysis

 This paper deals with the miscibility of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) with polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA). Blends of variable compositions from 0 to 100 wt% were prepared in the presence (15, 30 and 50 wt%) and in the absence of di ethyl- 2 hexyl phtalate as plasticizer. Their miscibility was investigated by using various analytical methods: determination of the Vicat softening temperature, a viscometry method based on the criterion of polymer–polymer miscibility, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The results show that the plot of Vicat temperature against composition is a continuous curve, indicating the miscibility of the blend. The viscometry method and DSC find that the two polymers are miscible up to about 60 wt% of PMMA. This miscibility is due to a specific interaction of hydrogen bonding type between carbonyl groups (C=O) of PMMA and hydrogen from (CHCl) groups of PVC, as evidenced by FTIR spectroscopy. The two-band deconvolution shows an increase in associated groups percentage in the domain of miscibility.     

FT-RAMAN SPECTROSCOPIC STUDY OF THE FORMATION OF POLYENES DURING THERMAL DEGRADATION OF POLY(VINYL CHLORIDE) AND POLY (N-VINYL-2-PYRROLIDONE) BLENDS

In situ degradation of poly(vinyl chloride)/poly (N-vinyl-2- pyrrolidone) (PVC/PVP) blends has been studied by Fourier-transform Raman spectroscopy. PVP acts as a destabilizer in the thermal degradation of PVC as manifested by the reduction of temperature for the onset of degradation and the time the polymer is held at a particular temperature for this onset. Increasing the amount of PVP in the blends decreases the dehydrochlorination temperature and time. In blends containing high PVP concentrations, polyene bands dominate over nondegraded PVC bands. Maximum polyene lengths of around 35 were achieved. High PVP ratios and prolonged degradation at higher temperatures resulted in a decrease in mean polyene length due to crosslinking and oxidative scission.

Internal plasticization of poly(vinyl) chloride using glutamic acid as a branched linker to incorporate four plasticizers per anchor point

Internal plasticization of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) using thermal azide‐alkyne Huisgen dipolar cycloaddition between azidized PVC and electron‐poor acetylenediamides incorporating a branched glutamic acid linker resulted in incorporation of four plasticizing moieties per attachment point on the polymer chain. A systematic study incorporating either alkyl or polyethylene glycol esters provided materials with varying degrees of plasticization, with depressed T_g values ranging from ?1 °C to 62 °C. Three interesting trends were observed. First, T_g values of PVC bearing various internal plasticizers were shown to decrease with increasing chain length of the plasticizing ester. Second, branched internal plasticizers bearing triethylene glycol chains had lower T_g values compared to those with similar length long‐chain alkyl groups. Finally, thermogravimetric analysis of these internally plasticized PVC samples revealed that these branched internal plasticizers bearing alkyl chains are more thermally stable than similarity branched plasticizers bearing triethylene glycol units. These internal tetra‐plasticizers were synthesized and attached to PVC‐azide in three simple synthetic steps. © 2019 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Polym. Sci., Part A: Polym. Chem. 2019 , 57, 1821–1835
