Molecular weight distribution functions for styrene-acrylonitrile copolymers

Thermal Degradation of Polyacrylonitrile, Polybutadiene, and Copolymers of Butadiene With Acrylonitrile and Styrene

Polybutadiene and a co poly mer consisting of 76.5 percent butadiene and 23 .5 percent of styrene were investigated as to t he rates of t heir t hermal degradation . The ra tes for polybu tadiene indicated an act iv:ttion energy of 60 kilocalories per mole. The copolym er had very high init ial rates of degradation, followed by a rapid cirop, so t hat it wa~ not possible to obtain a reliab le a...

Acrylonitrile Block and Graft Copolymers

This paper presents a review of the methods available for preparing block and graft copolymers in which one component is acrylonitrile. Methods using polymer ions and polymer radicals are considered together with a useful new technique based on reactions of nitrile groups with amide compounds of group IV transition metals. Because of its polarity and its unusual solubility properties, a polyacr...

Survey of volatile substances in kitchen utensils made from acrylonitrile–butadiene–styrene and acrylonitrile–styrene resin in Japan

Residual levels of 14 volatile substances, including 1,3-butadiene, acrylonitrile, benzene, ethylbenzene, and styrene, in 30 kitchen utensils made from acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene resin (ABS) and acrylonitrile-styrene resin (AS) such as slicers, picks, cups, and lunch boxes in Japan were simultaneously determined using headspace gas chromatography/mass spectroscopy (HS-GC/MS). The maximum r...

Rheological Method for Determining Molecular Weight and Molecular Weight Distribution

synthesis of ethylene bis-stearamide for acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene polymer

ethylene bis-stearamide is one of the important acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene ()abs)( polymer additives, which is used as lubricant, slip agent and mold release agent. in this research, ethylene bis-stearamide for abs application was synthesized using stearic acid and ethylene diamine under reflux condition. refluxing prevented ethylenediamine from evaporation and thus the initial molar ratio...
