A simple one-step assay for the trace determination of Co2+ was developed on filter paper modified with solubilized polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) and arrays of 3-[(2-mercapto-vinyl)-hydrazono]-1,3-dihydro-indol-2-one (MHDI) reagent.

The preparation of polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) emulsions by semicontinuous dropping method is studied in this paper. The nucleation mode of emulsion polymerization of methyl methacrylate (MMA) under different emulsifier (SDS) concentrations is investigated. Some factors such as conversion, particle number (Np), particle size (PS), polydispersion index (PDI) and coverage rate were examined. The results show that when [SD is close to the CMC (eg. 6mmol/L to 10mmol/L), micelle nucleation will dominates and homogeneous nucleation can coexist, and Np fluctuates. But when [SD is less than 4mmol/L, the homogeneous nucleation dominates and micelle nucleation may also coexist, but Np is constant. It can be concluded that whether the [SD is above or below the CMC, the homogeneous nucleation and micelle nucleation can coexist in the system, but different factors affect the particle number.

It is necessary to consider how a glove box’s confinement function will be lost when evaluating the amount of radioactive material leaking from a nuclear facility during a fire. In this study, we build a model that consistently explains the weight loss of glove box materials because of heat input from a flame and accompanying generation of the pyrolysis gas. The weight loss suggests thinning of the glove box housing, and the generation of pyrolysis gas suggests the possibility of fire spreading. The target was polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), used as the glove box panel. Thermal gravimetric tests on PMMA determined the parameters to be substituted in the Arrhenius equation for predicting the weight loss in pyrolysis. The pyrolysis process of PMMA was divided into 3 stages with activation energies of 62 kJ/mol, 250 kJ/mol, and 265 kJ/mol. Furthermore, quantifying the gas composition revealed that the composition of the pyrolysis gas released from PMMA can be approximated as 100% methyl methacrylate. This result suggests that the released amount of methyl methacrylate can be estimated by the Arrhenius equation. To investigate the validity of such estimation, a sealed vessel test was performed. In this test, we observed increase of the number of gas molecules during the pyrolysis as internal pressure change of the vessel. The number of gas molecules was similar to that estimated from the Arrhenius equation, and indicated the validity of our method. Moreover, we also performed the same tests on bisphenol-A-polycarbonate (PC) for comparison. In case of PC, the number of gas molecules obtained in the vessel test was higher than the estimated value.

There has been little change in the formulation of bone cements since Sir John Charnley first developed them in the 1970s. Bone cements are methacrylate based systems packaged in two components [1]. The powder component contains a mixture of polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), methyl methacrylate-styrene-copolymer, and a radio opacifier (either barium sulfate or zirconium oxide) [2]. The second component is a liquid monomer typically containing methyl methacrylate, N, N-dimethyl-p-toluidine (activator), and hydroquinone. Flexural strength and flexural modulus of bone cements range between 60–75 MPa and 2.2–3.3 GPa, respectively [3, 4]. ISO 5833 requires bone cements to have a strength greater than 50 MPa and a modulus greater than 1.8 GPa [5].
