The reaction mechanisms and kinetics of endcapped ethynyl polyethers were studies in the temperature range 150-220C. The results obtained by '3C and 'H NMR, FrTIR, HPLC and DSC indicate reactivity differences and competing reactions. These materials were cured and their thermal properties evaluated.

Aqueous thermal polymerization of acrylonitrile (AN) initiated by peroxomonosulphate (HSO5-, PMS)-thiolactic acid (TLA) and PMS-thiomalic acid (TMA) redox systems has been carried out in the temperature range 30-50 °C. The effect of concentration of monomer, initiator, reducing agent, H+, and ionic strength on rate of polymerization, Rp, has been investigated under deaerated conditions. The Rp has been found to depend on, Rp ~ [AN]01.5 [PMS]0.5 [TLA]0.5 in PMS-TLA system and, Rp ~ [AN]02.0 [PMS]1.0 [TMA]0 in PMS-TMA system. The degree of polymerization (Xn) values and thermodynamic parameters have been evaluated. Suitable reaction scheme has been proposed and expressions for Rp and Xn have been obtained.

AbstractSyntheses of oligoetherols with a 1,3-pyrimidine ring and boron atoms using 6-aminouracil, ethylene carbonate and boric acid has been proposed. The structure of the obtained products were determined by instrumental methods (IR, 1H-NMR and MALDI-ToF spectra). The physicochemical and thermal properties of oligoetherols were examined. The products were characterized by high thermal stability. Based on the tests performed, it was found that oligoetherols obtained from 6-aminouracil, boric acid and ethylene carbonate are suitable for the manufacturing of polyurethane foams with improved thermal stability and reduced flammability.

Absorbents used in closed and semi-closed circuit environments play a key role in preventing carbon dioxide poisoning. Here we present an analysis of one of the most common carbon dioxide absorbents—soda lime. In the first step, we analyzed the composition of fresh and used samples. For this purpose, volumetric and photometric analyses were introduced. Thermal properties and decomposition patterns were also studied using thermogravimetric and X-ray powder diffraction (PXRD) analyses. We also investigated the kinetics of carbon dioxide absorption under conditions imitating a closed-circuit environment.


In the first paper of this series (Burgoyne 1937) the kinetics of the isothermal oxidation above 400° C of several aromatic hydrocarbons was studied. The present communication extends this work to include the phenomena of ignition in the same temperature range, whilst the corresponding reactions below 400° C form the subject of further investigations now in progress. The hydrocarbons at present under consideration are benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, n -propylbenzene, o-, m - and p -xylenes and mesitylene.

ABSTRACTHigh resolution 1H NMR spectroscopy at high magnetic fields is employed to study the reaction kinetics of the Si(OCH3)4:CH3OH:H2O sol-gel system. Both the overall extent of reaction as a function of time and the equilibrium distribution of species are measured. In acid catalyzed solution, condensation is the rate limiting step while in base catalyzed solution, hydrolysis becomes rate limiting. A kinetic model in which the rate of hydrolysis is assumed to be independent of the adjacent functional groups is presented. This model correctly predicts the distribution of product species during the initial stages of the sol-gel reaction.

We report fast-scanning chip-calorimetry measurement of isothermal crystallization kinetics of poly(glycolic acid) (PGA) in a broad temperature range. We observed that PGA crystallization could be suppressed by cooling rates beyond -100 K s−1 and, after fast cooling, by heating rates beyond 50 K s-1. In addition, the parabolic curve of crystallization half-time versus crystallization temperature shows that PGA crystallizes the fastest at 130 °C with the minimum crystallization half-time of 4.28 s. We compared our results to those of poly(L-lactic acid) (PLLA) with nearby molecular weights previously reported by Androsch et al. We found that PGA crystallizes generally more quickly than PLLA. In comparison to PLLA, PGA has a much smaller hydrogen side group than the methyl side group in PLLA; therefore, crystal nucleation is favored by the higher molecular mobility of PGA in the low temperature region as well as by the denser molecular packing of PGA in the high temperature region, and the two factors together decide the higher crystallization rates of PGA in the whole temperature range.
