Interacting Blends of Novel Acrylated Poly(Ester-Amide) Resins - I with Methyl Methacrylate Monomer—Part 1
Bisphthalamic acids were prepared by reaction of phthalic anhydride and aliphatic diamines. Novel poly(ester-amide)s (PEAs) were prepared by reaction of epoxy resin with bisphthalamic acids. Acrylation of PEAs were carried out using acryloyl chloride; products are called acrylated poly(ester-amide)s (APEAs). Elemental analysis, Number average molecular weight and IR spectra recorded for both PEAs and APEAs. Blending of APEAs was carried out with methyl methacrylate monomer. Curing of APEAs-MMA blends were monitored on differential scanning calorimeter. Composites of these blends have been laminated and characterized. Unreinforced cured samples of these blends were analyzed thermogravimetrically.
Multiblock copolymers of polyamide 6 and diepoxy propylene adipate obtained by solid state polymerization
Polyesteramide multiblock copolymers based on polyamide 6 and diepoxy propylene adipate blocks were synthesized. For this purpose a carboxyl-terminated polyamide 6 (Mn = 2400 g/mol, Tm = 205.5 °C) ...
Thermodynamics on the Carbochlorination of Titanium-bearing Ores
The equilibrium compositions of the multi-component, multi-phase and multi-reaction system of carbochlorination of titanium-bearing ores are calculated with HSC, a computational chemistry software. The thermodynamic equilibrium calculation of the reaction system shows that a complete conversion of titanium-bearing ores is feasible at a temperature near 200oC. At temperatures ranging from 800 to 1600oC, the products of the reaction system are all in gaseous phase. Thermodynamic analysis accords with the industrial practice. The simulated results provide reasonable scientific basis for improving suitable technological conditions of the carbochlorination reduction.
