Abstract It is predicted that the net repulsion between segments of a polymer network and poor solvent can cause phase transition marked by sudden change in degree swelling. This analogous to “coil–globule” recently Ptitsyn occur for macromolecule solution. The critical conditions transition. as well diagrams, are calculated gel free swelling under uniaxial tension, which facilitates depends on being formed chains crosslinked while greatly swollen diluent also having high crosslinking....

Abstract By using the model of a randomly coiled chain, relation is derived describing equilibrium stress–strain behavior variously ionized polyelectrolyte gels swollen in solutions uni–univalent salt. The effect concentration bound counterions calculated on basis cylindrical and change length statistical chain segment with ionization gel stress–strain, swelling, potentiometric equilibria discussed.

Cloud-point curves by DSC measurements at different scanning rates on solutions of two samples poly(vinyl methyl ether) in water show minima a temperature−composition plot. The significance the data was confirmed static coexisting-phase compositions and phase-volume ratios. A thermodynamic analysis terms strongly concentration-dependent interaction parameter leads to conclusion that system H2O/PVME exhibits so-called type III behavior. For polymers infinite molar mass, such behavior is...

Polyurethane networks based on vegetable oils have very heterogeneous composition, and it is difficult to find a close correlation between their structure properties. To establish benchmark structure−properties relationships, we prepared model polyurethane triolein 4,4'-diphenylmethane diisocyanate (MDI). Cross-linking in the middle of fatty acid chains leaves significant parts triglyceride as dangling chains. examine effect properties, synthesized another network using without (removed by...

Abstract In this article, we report on the rheological properties of agarose aqueous solutions and gels. Viscosity curves were determined for homogeneous at different temperatures (from 68 to 38 °C) study viscosity behavior as systems undergo gelation. The gelation phenomenon was also investigated by shear oscillation experiments differential scanning calorimetry. melting temperature a function concentration together with enthalpies. results obtained interpreted using two‐step model...
