The phase equilibrium behaviour of PPO (poly 2,6-dimethyl-1,4-phenylene oxide) in mixtures of trichloroethylene with non-solvents ethanol, methanol or octanol has been studied. Attention has been given to the phenomena of glass transition, crystallization and thermoreversible gelation. The effect of solvent-non-solvent mixtures on the glass transition temperature depression was studied using differential scanning calorimetry (d.s.c.) and found to be well described by a ternary form of the Kelley-Bueche equation, using a modified best fit value of 3.67 for the solvent/polymer thermal expansivity ratio. Crystallization and gelation behaviour was studied using both d.s.c. and falling ball methods. D.s.c. scans showed a two-peaked behaviour when solvent trichloroethylene (TCE) or mixtures of TCE with octanol were used. Analysis showed that gel and crystal melting (associated with the higher temperature peak) are in a one-to-one correspondence and both exhibit a behaviour pattern with solvent concentration suggestive of simple melting point depression. However, addition of small amounts of non-solvent methanol or ethanol had a significant effect on the melting behaviour in that only a single endotherm resulted, whose depression in temperature could not be accurately described using the ternary form of the Flory melting point expression. A semiquantitative discussion is given emphasizing the role of these phenomena in controlling both the nature of the ternary phase diagram and the structure formation Processes associated with asymmetric membrane production.

Soluble Alkyl Substituted Poly(3,4-Propylenedioxyselenophene)s: A New Platform For Optoelectronic Materials Atak, Samed; Icli-Ozkut, Merve; Önal, Ahmet Muhtar; CİHANER, ATİLLA (Wiley, 2011-10-15) Optical and electrochemical properties of regiosymmetric and soluble alkylenedioxyselenophene-based electrochromic polymers, namely poly(3,3-dibutyl-3,4-dihydro-2H-seleno pheno [3,4-b][1,4]dioxephine) (PProDOS-C(4)), poly(3,3-dihexyl-3,4-dihydro-2H-selenopheno[3,4-b][1,4]dioxephine) (PProDOS-C(6)), and poly(3,3-didecyl-3,4-dihydro-2H-selenopheno[3,4-b][1,4]dioxephine) (PProDOS-C(10)), are highlighted. It is noted that these unique polymers have low bandgaps (1.57-1.65 eV), and they are exceptionally stable ...
EFFECT OF ION ASSOCIATION ON THE PROPERTIES OF IONOMERS OBTAINED FROM METHYL-METHACRYLATE METHACRYLIC-ACID COPOLYMER KOCAK, HI; ARAS, L (Elsevier BV, 1990-07-01) The solution behaviour of Na, Ba, Zn and Al ionomers of methyl methacrylate-methacrylic acid copolymer (P(MMA-MAA)) with different ion contents has been studied by viscosity and dipole moment measurements. Two solvents with different character are chosen for viscosity measurements: dioxane (ε = 2.22) and acetone (ε = 20.7). The expected polyelectrolyte behaviour of the ionomers in acetone is reflected by the viscometric measurements. Mean squared dipole moment 〈μ2〉 values are calculated over a temperature r...
DIPOLE-MOMENTS OF ISOTACTIC AND ATACTIC POLY(PROPYLENE OXIDE) SAMPLES KUCUKYAVUZ, Z; ALYURUK, K; AHMAD, AM (Elsevier BV, 1991-01-01) Dipole moments of poly(propylene oxide) (PPO) samples with different tacticities were determined from dielectric constant and refractive index increment measurements, which were performed on dilute toluene and isooctane solutions. In contrast to previous reports, both refractive index increments and the dipole moment ratios showed a marked dependence on the tacticities of the samples. The dipole moment ratios of isotactic samples were greater than unity and decreased with increasing sequence concentration...
ELECTRO-INITIATED POLYMERIZATION OF BIS-(2,4,6-TRIBROMOPHENOXO) ETHYLENEDIAMINE COPPER(II) COMPLEX IN DMF AND ITS KINETIC-STUDY BY CYCLIC VOLTAMMETRY Toppare, Levent Kamil; YIGIT, S; KISAKUREK, D; Akbulut, Ural (Elsevier BV, 1990-01-01) The decomposition of bis-(2,4,6-tribromophenoxo) ethylenediamine copper(II) complex in dimethylformamide by electro-oxidation yields low molecular weight (4.5 × 103) linear poly(dibromophenylene oxide). Electro-initiated polymerization was accomplished upon oxidation by a constant potential electrolysis under air or under N2 at room temperature. Polymerization conditions were based on the peak potentials measured by cyclic voltammetry. Constant peak potentials carried out at anodic and cathodic peak potenti...
POLYMETHYLALUMINIUM OXIDE AND STEREOREGULAR POLYMERIZATION OF PROPYLENE-OXIDE OKTEM, Z; SARI, A; ALYURUK, K (Elsevier BV, 1993-05-01) Polymethylaluminium oxide (PMAO) was prepared by reacting trimethylaluminium (AlMe3) with water in dilute dioxane solution. Several PMAO samples with different degrees of polymerizations (DP) were prepared (1 less-than-or-equal-to DP less-than-or-equal-to 7) either by changing reaction conditions or by fractionating the products. PMAO with DP about unity was found to be trimeric in dilute dioxane solutions but, in higher dielectric solvents, it partially dissociated into free ions. Electrical conductance me...
