Electrical conductivities of molten trimethylpentylammonium triethyloctylborate (N1115B2228) and triethylpentylammonium triethylpentylborate (N2225B2225) were measured as functions of temperature (c. 293 · 15–383 · 15 K) and pressure (from 1 bar to 5 kbar). Analysis of the temperature dependence of the electrical conductivity was made by using the Vogel–Tammann–Fulcher equation, κ = Aexp[ – B/(T – T0)]. The empirical nature of the pressure dependence of the B and T0 parameters has revealed the possibility of obtaining an isothermal equation to explain the pressure dependence of the electrical conductivity. Accordingly, an empirical equation of the form κ = a′exp(b′ P+c′ P2) has been found to describe the pressure dependence of the electrical conductivity. The ideal glass transition temperature, T0, is the key parameter in controlling the pressure dependence of the electrical conductivity for both systems under study.

This work deals with the changes of the glass transition temperature (Tg) of the polymer in polypropylene/mica composites due to the combined and synergistic effect of the reinforcement and the interfacial modifier. In our case, we studied the effect on Tg of platy mica and an interfacial modifier with p-phenylen-bis-maleamic acid (pPBMA) grafted groups onto atactic polypropylene (aPP-pPBMA). This one contains 5.0 × 10−4 g·mol−1 (15% w/w) grafted pPBMA and was previously obtained by the author’s labs by using industrial polymerization wastes (aPP). The objective of the article must be perceived as two-fold. On one hand, the determination of the changes in the glass transition temperature of the isotactic polypropylene phase (iPP) due to both the reinforcement and the agent as determined form the damp factor in DMA analysis. On the other hand, forecasting the variation of this parameter (Tg) as a function of both the interfacial agent and reinforcement content. For such purposes, and by assuming the complex character of the iPP/aPP-pPBMA/Mica system, wherein interaction between the components will define the final behaviour, a Box–Wilson experimental design considering the amount of mica particles and of interface agent as the independent variables, and the Tg as the dependent one, has been used. By taking in mind that the glass transition is a design threshold for the ultimate properties of parts based in this type of organic–inorganic hybrid materials, the final purpose of the work is the prediction and interpretation of the effect of both variables on this key parameter.

Abstract Segmental relaxation in a series of polymethylphenylsiloxanes (PMPS) was studied using dielectric spectroscopy. The measurements covered a temperature range of more than 40 deg at pressures from ambient to 115 MPa. The results confirmed that the shape of the loss peak is independent of temperature, pressure and molecular weight. Consequently, the Tg -scaled dependence of the relaxation times was also independent of molecular weight. The pressure dependence of the relaxation times was characterized by means of the activation volume. This quantity changes markedly with pressure at a given temperature. However, the activation volume at the respective glass transition temperatures of the PMPS are essentially invariant to molecular weight. Finally, we measured the dependence of Tg on pressure, with the results well-described by the Andersson equation.

Measurements are reported of the thermal and electrical conductivities of the transition elements Rh, Ir, Pt in a state of high purity; the rapid rate of decrease of the "ideal" thermal and electrical resistivities with temperature, particularly in Rh and Ir, suggests that s–d transitions are not a dominant resistive mechanism at low temperatures in these metals, in contrast to palladium, iron, and nickel, which were studied previously. The electrical resistivity of platinum is in general agreement with the earlier results of de Haas and de Boer (1934); the quadratic dependence on temperature observed below about 10° K. suggests that electron–electron collisions may well be an important factor in this metal.
