Scrap poly(tetrafluoroethylene) (PTFE) was gamma irradiated under an ambient atmosphere in order to produce extensive chain scission and oxidative degradation. After irradiation the PTFE was ground into a fine powder (2 degrees -PTFE) and graft;ed with styrene (St), vinyl acetate (VAc), and 4-vinylpyridine (4-VP) by using the direct irradiation technique. The grafted PTFE were then blended with low density polyethylene (LDPE). The study covered the characterization of irradiated PTFE and grafted 2 degrees -PTFE powder with various methods. Mechanical grinding was found to reduce trapped radicals formed during the irradiation process faster than the annealing process. Grafting on 2 degrees -PTFE was followed by gravimetric analysis, TGA, and the change in the particle size of the samples. Although we reached almost 20% grafting by weight in the St and 4-VP monomers, VAc grafting was found to be maximum at around 8% by weight at the maximum absorbed dose. The addition of VAc grafted 2 degrees -PTFE into LDPE produced better final mechanical properties with a fine dispersion. However, as may be expected, the incorporation of the other two 2 degrees -PTFEs into LDPE showed low film quality and poor mechanical properties. (C) 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Batteries and a Pinch of Salt: A Simple Toolkit for the Production of Poly(methylsilyne) Eroglu, Darnla; Nur, Yusuf; Soenmez, Umut; Bayram, Göknur; Pitcher, Michael W.; Toppare, Levent Kamil (Wiley, 2009-06-15) A simple synthesis of poly(methylsilyne) has been developed. The straightforward polymerization reaction can be accomplished using simply a series of batteries and a very simple electrolyte. Poly(methylsilyne) has previously been shown to be a high-purity, high-yield precursor to stoichometric silicon carbide. (C) 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 112: 3519-3521, 2009
Synthesis and characterization of boron-doped Bi2O3-La2O3 fiber derived nanocomposite precursor Durmusoglu, Senol; Uslu, Ibrahim; TUNÇ, TUNCAY; Keskin, Selda; Aytimur, Arda; Akdemir, Ahmet (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2011-11-01) Boron doped poly(vinyl) alcohol/ bismuth - lanthanum acetate (PVA/Bi-La) nanofibers were prepared by electrospinning using PVA as a precursor. The effect of boron doping was investigated in terms of solution properties, morphological changes and thermal characteristics. The fibers were characterized by FT-IR, XRD, SEM and BET. The addition of boron did not only increase the thermal stability of the fibers, but also their diameters, which yielded stronger fibers. XRD analyses showed that boron doping increas...
POLYMERIZATION OF BIS(2-BROMO-4,6-DICHLOROPHENOXO)BIS(PYRIDINE) COPPER (II) COMPLEX IN DMF BY ELECTROINITIATION KISAKUREK, D; SEN, S; ARAS, L; TURKER, L; Toppare, Levent Kamil (Elsevier BV, 1991-01-01) Polymerization of bis(2-bromo-4,6-dichlorophenoxo)bis(pyridine) copper (II) complex was achieved in dimethylformamide by electrooxidation. A cyclic voltammogram (CV) of the complex was obtained in dimethylformamide in advance. Constant potential yielded polymers in anode compartment only under nitrogen atmosphere and air. In the final polymer product, incorporation of neither the ligand nor the copper was observed and the post-polymerization proceeded in the absence of current. The structural analyses o...
ANIONIC SYNTHESIS OF POLY(METHYLMETHACRYLATE)-POLY(4-VINYLPYRIDINE) DIBLOCK COPOLYMERS IN THE PRESENCE OF LICL NUGAY, N; HOSOTTE, C; NUGAY, T; RIESS, G (Elsevier BV, 1994-10-01) Poly(methylmethacrylate)-poly(4-vinylpyridine) diblock copolymers were synthesized by sequential anionic polymerization. 1,1-diphenyl-3-methylpentyllithium was used as initiator and LiCl was added to the system as ligand to modify both initiator and active chain end in order to avoid side reactions. The products were characterized by H-1-NMR spectroscopy, size exclusion chromatography and differential scanning calorimetry. The block copolymers show narrow molecular weight distribution and microphase separat...
Thermal stability and decomposition mechanism of poly(p-acryloyloxybenzoic acid and poly(p-methacryloyloxybenzoic acid) and their graft copolymers with polypropylene, Part II Cetin, S.; Tincer, T. (Wiley, 2008-04-05) Thermal stability and decomposition mechanism of poly(p-acryloyloxybenzoic) acid (PABA), p-methacryloyloxybenzoic acid (PMBA), and their graft coproducts of PP were studied by differential scanning calorimetry, direct pyrolysis mass spectrometry, and TG/IR system, combined thermogravimetric analyzer, and FTIR spectrometer. The homopolymers and corresponding grafts were found to be stable in nitrogen atmosphere but started to decompose under atmospheric conditions when heated above 230 degrees C. PABA and PA...
