EDITED BY JAMES E. MARK, UNIVERSITY OF CINCINNATI PUBLISHED BY OXFORD UNIVERSITY PRESS
The online version of the Polymer Data Handbook includes key data on over two hundred polymers. Please note that entries are presented as PDF files and can only be read using Adobe Acrobat Reader Version 3. If you do not have the freeware reader, it can be downloaded from Adobe in the United States or Adobe in the United Kingdom. Each entry opens with a citation of the contributor 's name and notations of acronyms and trade names, class of polymer, structure, and major applications. These are followed by tabular displays showing the properties of each polymer. The maximum consistency possible has been established for properties presented with regard to format, terminology, notations, and units. However, not all properties are applicable to all polymers contained in the handbook; some properties may not even be relevant for certain polymer classes. Also, some polymers exhibit properties shown by few others (e.g., electroluminescence); these properties have been noted as "Properties of Special Interest." Each entry closes with a list of references for the reader interested in further investigation of a polymer. View the editor 's preface to the print edition (HTML format).

PREFACE TO THE PRINT EDITION
The Polymer Data Handbook offers, in a standardized and readily accessible tabular format, concise information on the syntheses, structures, properties, and applications of the most important polymeric materials. Those included are currently in industrial use or they are under study for potential new applications in industry and in academic laboratories. Considerable thought was given to the criteria for selecting the polymers included in this volume. The first

    Polyurethane Analysis

    • 666 Words
    • 3 Pages

    The first polyurethane synthesised by Dr Otto Bayer, in 1937, at IG Farbenindustrie Germany, by the reaction of a polyester diol with a diisocyanate, opened a new way in macromolecular chemistry: that is the synthesis of polymers by a new reaction, called polyaddition reaction. Polyurethane (PUR and PU) is any polymer composed of a chain of organic units joined by carbamate (urethane) links. Polyurethane polymers are formed through step-growth polymerization, by reacting a monomer (with at least two isocyanate functional groups) with another monomer (with at least two hydroxyl or alcohol groups) in the presence of a catalyst. Polyurethanes, having a relatively short history, of slightly more than 70 years, became one of the most dynamic groups…

    Polyvinyl Ethanoate Essay

    • 1805 Words
    • 8 Pages

    A polymer is a large molecule comprised of numerous smaller molecules. It is possible for these large molecules to be linear, moderately branched, or highly interconnected. In the latter case the structure progresses into a large three-dimensional complex. The small molecules that serve as the basic building blocks for these large molecules are known as monomers (See Figure 1.1). An example of the relationship between a monomer and polymer is the commercially important material polyvinylchloride, which is comprised of the monomer vinyl chloride. The repeat unit in the monomer generally corresponds to the monomer from which the polymer was made. As with any rule, there are exceptions. For example, polyvinylchloride is formally thought to be made up of vinyl alcohol (CH2CHOH) repeat units; but factually, there is no such monomer as vinyl alcohol. The suitable molecular unit exists in the tautomeric form, ethanal (CH3CHO). In order to make this polymer, it is required that polyvinyl ethanoate is firstly prepared from the monomer vinyl ethanoate, and then to hydrolyze the product to yield the polymeric alcohol.…

    In order to form a nylon-6,6 polymer, the synthesis of two monomers, acyl chloride and 1,6-hexanediamine, is needed. In this experiment, when adipoyl chloride is dissolved in hexanes with the aqueous diamine, the polymer is formed. The adipoyl chloride mixed with cyclohexane in beaker A is transferred slowly into beaker B, which contains the 1,6-hexanediamine and NaOH. The polymer is the formed at the top of the reaction mixture. Once the polymer is formed, a copper wire is used to remove the polymer from the mixture.…

    For many applications the interaction of a polymer with a solvent is vital. Polymer interactions can be examined using computational methods such as a Metropolis Monte Carlo method, Molecular Dynamics or Langevin Dynamics. It is important to know when for a certain system a solvent is good, bad or in-between (theta solvent). A good solvent would maximise the polymer-solvent interaction by unfolding while a bad solvent will minimize these interactions by keeping the polymer folded. It is also important to understand how the polymer behaves at dierent temperatures and chain lengths. Computer simulations allow for a polymer to be examined in great detail whereby very accurate values can be obtained, the accuracy of which depends on the accuracy of the applied model. Using computer simulations removes the costs associated with numerous lab experiments.…

    This pointed towards presence of a homogenous amorphous phase. However, it is reported that DSC is only able to differentiate domains that are above 30 nm in size. Calculation based on Hildebrand solubility parameters indicated miscible nature of HPMC and lactose as the difference between solubility parameter values (δ) was found to be 4.1 MPa1/2. Homogeneity of HPMC and lactose in HPMC-LAC CP was further confirmed by TEM and STEM analysis that can differentiate heterogeneous domains even in sub-nanometer range (least count < 1 nm). Thus, PXRD and MDSC data along with TEM and STEM images confirmed the formation of a uniformly dispersed phase in HPMC-LAC CP. Moreover, Williams et al. have already demonstrated sugar-induced suppression of polymer hydration due to destruction of intramolecular hydrogen bonding that restricts rapid hydration and swelling of polymer particles (Kabayama and Patterson, 1958; Williams et al., 2010a; Williams et al., 2009, 2010b). Hence, it can be concluded that the improvement in dispersion behavior of HPMC-LAC CP was predominantly due to molecular level…

    Available online at www.sciencedirect.com Polyhydroxyalkanoates: bioplastics with a green agenda Tajalli Keshavarz and Ipsita Roy Production of polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) has been investigated for more than eighty years but recently a number of factors including increase in the price of crude oil and public awareness of the environmental issues have become a notable driving force for extended research on biopolymers. The versatility of PHAs has made them good candidates for the study of their potential in a variety of areas from biomedical/ medical fields to food, packaging, textile and household material. While production costs are still a drawback to wider usage of these biopolymers, their application as low volume high cost items is becoming a reality. The future trend is to focus on the development of more efficient and economical processes for PHA production, isolation, purification and improvement of PHA material properties.…

    Synthetic Polymers

    Some molecules contain so many atoms (up to tens of thousands) that understanding their structure would seem to be an impossible task. By recognizing that many of these macromolecules exhibit recurring structural motifs, however, chemists have come to understand how these molecules are constructed and, further, how to synthesize them. These molecules, called polymers, fall into two classes: natural and synthetic. Natural polymers include many of the biomolecules that are essential to life: proteins, nucleic acids, and carbohydrates among them. Synthetic polymers—most of which were developed in just the last 60 or so years—include plastics, synthetic rubbers, and synthetic fibers. We shall study synthetic polymers in this Interchapter and natural polymers in the next one. Enormous industries have been built around synthetic polymer chemistry, which has profoundly changed the quality of life in the modern world. It is estimated that about half of all industrial research chemists are involved in some aspect of polymer chemistry. Few of us have not heard of nylon, rayon, polycarbonate, polyester, polyethylene, polystyrene, Teflon®, Formican®, and Saran, all of which are synthetic polymers. The technological impact of polymer chemistry is immense and continues to increase.…
