OVPOSS is shown in Figure 1. As can be seen, the POE Chains are activated by the DCP in the first stage and then they react with the OVPOSS vinyl groups to form an integrated network. In fact, it is generally understood that the peroxide abstracts the hydrogen atoms of POE chain and this new radical reacts with the vinyl groups in OVPOSS. The crosslinking process is very fast and effective because each OVPOSS molecule has eight reactive vinyl groups. In addition, increment in amount of DCP or OVPOSS leads to a rise in the crosslinking reaction rate. Figure 1. Reaction mechanism of OVPOSS crosslinked POE. 3.2 SEM Analysis Morphological characterization was carried out via SEM analysis. The micrographs of fractured surfaces of samples P-0.1D-1PO are represented in Figure 2. Figures 2 (a) and 2 (c) are related to the SEM images while figures 2 (b) and 2 (d) are the element mapping images. Moreover, figures 2 (a) and (b) demonstrate the samples before the crosslinking process and figures 2 (c) and (d) are attributed to the samples after the …show more content…
However, the OVPOSS bulks were crushed to small particles with size of tens nanometers after the crosslinking process. It was noticed that the breakdown of micron-sized OVPOSS crystals to nano-sized particles was not due to high temperatures but related to the crosslinking process, because no change was seen in the morphology and size of the OVPOSS bulks in the sample P-1PO (without DCP) due to heating process. Melt mixing reaction resulted in in uniform dispersion of OVPOSS molecules in the obtained composition although there are still much slightly bulks with the size of micrometers and the crystals in the polymer matrix. The pores of the matrix are not seen in the micrograph of this blend implying that the role of DCP is often in activating the double bonds of OVPOSS
The positive charge on the phosphorus atom is a strong EWG (electron-withdrawing group), which will trigger the adjacent carbon as a weak acid. 5 Very strong bases are required for deprotonation such as an alkyl lithium, however in this experiment 50% sodium hydroxide was used as reiterated. Lastly, the reaction between ylide and aldehyde/ketone produces alkene. (Eq. 1) As shown in equation 2, the reaction between the phosphonium salt and the sodium hydroxide produces the ylide/carbanion that is stabilized due to the positive charge on phosphorus and the conjugation that occurs in the benzene ring as shown by the structure B in equation 2.
ABSTRACT In this study, a halogen-free phosphorous–nitrogen synergistic flame retardant, poly-N-aniline-phenyl phosphamide (PDPPD), was synthesized. The Fourier transform Infrared spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, and elements analysis data confirmed the structure of PDPPD. The essential flame retardant of FR PA66 was polymerized with PA66 pre-polymer and PDPPD pre-polymer, prepared from PDPPD and adipic acid. The limit oxygen index and UL-94 test results of the flame retardant of FR PA66 reached 28% and V-0, respectively, when the contents of PDPPD pre-polymer were 4.5 wt%. The thermogravimetric and differential scanning calorimetry results demonstrated that the initial decomposition temperature of flame retardant of FR PA66 was 43 °C lower than that of pristine PA66 from 385 to 342 °C; however, the peak decomposition temperature was 36 °C higher than that of pure PA66 from 437 to 473 °C, when the contents of PDPPD pre-polymer reached 4.5 wt%. Flame retardant mechanism was studied by cone calorimeter and SEM-EDX, confirming that the HRR, THR, and TSP decreased slightly, and PDPPD functions according to the gas phase flame retardant mechanism.
CenturyLink is one of the larger communications companies within the United States and has even expanded abroad to other countries. When analyzing the SWOT analysis for CenturyLink, I was able to identify several strengths that set them apart from their competitors. As mentioned, they are distributing services in over 20 states currently and continue to broaden services to reach more clientele. They pride themselves on exceling in data communications and network systems databases which has allowed them to become one of the desired communication companies.
The endothermic melting temperature for Ptx, blank S-SEDDS, physical mixture of Ptx/blank S-SEDDS, and Ptx-loaded S-SEDDS was determined by DSC 2920. Samples were scanned from 30 to 250 °C at a rate of 10 °C /min. In all the cases, an empty pan was used as the reference. XRD patterns of Ptx, blank S-SEDDS, physical mixture of Ptx/blank S-SEDDS and Ptx-loaded S-SEDDS were recorded using an X'Pert PRO Multipurpose X-Ray diffractometer equipped with CuKα radiation (40 kV, 20 mA). The 2θ scanning range was varied from 2° to 50°.

Also in a PRC reaction, DNA Polymerase is made of many complicated proteins with the function of duplicating DNA before division occurs (2).
A group of polymer chains can be organised together in a fiber. How the polymer chains are put together is important, as it improves the properties of the material. The flexibility, strength and stiffness of Kevlar fiber, is dependent on the orientation of the polymer chains. Kevlar fiber is an arrangement of molecules, orientated parallel to each other. This orderly, untangled arrangement of molecules is described as a “Crystalline Structure”. A manufacturing process known as ‘Spinning’ is needed to achieve this Crystallinity structure. Spinning is a process that involves forcing the liquefied polymer solution through a ‘die’ (small holes).
This maximises the intermolecular forces between the chains as they are able to pack closely together. However, this reduces the flexibility and is therefore quite rigid and strong. This isotactic polyvinyl chloride structure occurs very little. Another structure that is produced very little is the syndiotactic PVC. The syndiotactic PVC has a regular arrangement and has similar properties of flexibility, rigidity and strength to the isotactic PVC as shown in Figure #.

The ingredients used in making slime contain fundamental additives that, when mixed together, cause the thick, gooey, slime every kid enjoys. Polymers are made from several smaller molecules joined by chemical bonds. The polyvinyl allows the mixture to feel slimy. Combing the polyvinyl and Borax together creates a chemical reaction. The mixture becomes cold, thicker, and elastic. This combination mixed together produces slime that is fun and safe for all ages.
chains instead of hydrogen atoms. Cross-linking is another way in which the polymer can be made stronger. This involves ultraviolet radiation that bombards the polymer with electrons and formulates bonds between the molecular chains of the polymers. This is like linear polyethylene but different in that it is more impact resistant, and it has a much higher density. This allows it to be stored or be used with different chemicals that would normally cause the polymer to desolve.3 This can start to become a problem because as the polymer continues to become chemically enhanced. So the ways of dissolving and recycling the polymer become more difficult.
A crystalline material can be either a single crystal or polycrystalline. Material with Polycrystalline consists of many crystals separated by well-defined boundaries whereas a single crystal consists of only one crystal. It is difficult to prepare single crystals when compared to polycrystalline materials, and more effort is needed for the growth of single crystals. There are two main reasons for the intended growth of single crystals. Many physical properties of solids are complicated by the effects of grain boundaries. The full range of tensor relationships between an applied physical cause and an observed effect can be obtained only if the total internal symmetry of the crystal structure is continued throughout the
Nano materials have gained great attention with their high surface area and great reactivity. Nano scale synthesis is achieved by two ways: a top down approach (take a larger particles and scale them down), a bottom up (normally chemical synthesis). Because of the abundance of cellulose, a top down approach was selected, although; bottom-up approaches yield a more desirable product with the least amount of defects. The microcrystalline cellulose (Iα, Iβ) is then digested with sulfuric acid this specifically targets the amorphous regions breaking the polymer chain into oligomers on to the nano scale [5,8]. Depending on the concentration of acid will either yield cellulose nano fibrils (CNF’s) or, cellulose nano crystals (CNC’s). CNF’s though still on the micro scale in length are defined as their size in diameter of which ranges from 4-7nm in width [8,14]. Lyophilization aides in the self-assembly behavior as the cellulose begins to align chirally. There are four chiral carbons on each monomer unit of the nanocellulose (2,3,4,5) [1718], which align with chiral carbons from adjacent nanocellulose polymers. Due to the chiral, pneumatic alignment of the nanocellulose during sublimation, a uniform dispersion of cellulose is obtained throughout the polymer composites
