Acrylonitrile Copolymers

Abstract The second order transition temperatures (Tg) have been determined for a range of compositions of polybutadiene-acrylonitrile copolymers. It was found that copolymers having more than 36 per cent acrylonitrile had a single Tg while copolymers with less than 36 per cent acrylonitrile had two main Tg's. The analyses were carried out with differential thermal analysis (DTA). The two Tg's are interpreted as the result of incompatible phases which differ in BD and VCN ratio. The presence of two phases is discussed in terms of polymerization conditions and molecular structure.

Abstract Differential Thermal Analysis and Dynamic Mechanical measurements show that the presence of two glass transition temperatures in nitrile rubbers is not unusual. Two glass transition temperatures occur in all commercial non-crosslinked butadiene-acrylonitrile rubbers of less than 35 per cent acrylonitrile even though they have gone previously undetected. We have investigated the changes in composition and glass transition temperatures during the course of the copolymerization. The composition versus conversion results were in agreement with previously published data. Fractionation and polymer-polymer compatibility experiments were used to demonstrate the presence of two incompatible phases of different acrylonitrile content, corresponding to the glass transitions of the original co-polymer. The mechanism for the formation of these two phases is discussed.

Abstract A previous study of the low-temperature properties of a series of vulcanized butadiene-acrylonitrile copolymers indicated an approximately linear relation between composition and brittle temperature. This study provides information relating low-temperature properties to copolymer composition for a series of industrially available butadiene-acrylonitrile copolymers of varying acrylonitrile content. The refractometric technique for determining second-order transition temperatures (Tm) as previously described was used to determine Tm.

The synthesis of alloys of the system was carried out stepwise in rotary furnaces. The synthesis mode was selected based on the physicochemical properties of the elementary components. For homogenization, the alloys were subjected to isothermal annealing at 750 and 1275 K, depending on the Tm2Te3 concentration, for 250 h after homogenization of the alloys, they were subjected to physicochemical analysis. The results of differential thermal analysis showed that reversible thermal effects are observed in the alloys of the system. In alloys in a 1: 1 ratio, a new intermediate phase is formed with a composition corresponding to the TmAsTe3 compound. The homogeneity area is observed in the concentration range 52.5-47.5. It was found that in the concentration range 98.5-52.5 Tm2Te3 there are two phases - a mixture of β and of the solid solution, and in the concentration range of 47.51 mol% Tm2Te3 phases and α are in equilibrium. ) 66 The eutectic has coordinates of 11.5 mol Tm2Te3 at a temperature of 575 K.

Reactions with alumina and platinum crucibles were studied during the preparation of Bi2Sr2Ca1Cu2Oy “2212” glasses. In particular, reactions with Al2O3 are of interest since alumina is a potential substrate material in applications of this superconductor. Glasses processed using alumina crucibles were completely homogeneous and free of secondary phases although the material contained 2.26 at. % Al in solution. After heat treatments, Al was found in the form of SrCaAlOy particles located primarily along grain boundaries of the 2212 superconducting phase. Platinum contamination was minimal (<0.02 at. %) and no Pt-containing secondary phases were found in amorphous or annealed samples. Glasses made with Pt crucibles were found to contain small amounts of CaO, Sr14−xCaxCu24O41, and 2201 as second phases. Differential thermal analysis (DTA) suggested that the crystallization processes were essentially the same for all samples although the small amount of Al seemed to slow the kinetics leading to the formation of 2212. Neither Al nor Pt was detected within the 2212 phase. The measured superconducting compositions in each annealed sample were nearly the same with identical transition temperatures of 88 K. Overall differences in stoichiometry were accommodated by changes in the number and composition of the secondary phases present.
