Shrinkage determination of a reactive polymer with volumetric dilatometry

Volumetric Polymerization Shrinkage of Contemporary Composite Resins

The polymerization shrinkage of composite resins may affect negatively the clinical outcome of the restoration. Extensive research has been carried out to develop new formulations of composite resins in order to provide good handling characteristics and some dimensional stability during polymerization. The purpose of this study was to analyze, in vitro, the magnitude of the volumetric polymeriz...

Modeling the Transport and Volumetric Properties of Solutions Containing Polymer and Electrolyte with New Model

A new theoretical model based on the local composition concept (TNRF-mNRTL model) was proposed to express the short-range contribution of the excess Gibbs energy for the solutions containing polymer and electrolyte. This contribution of interaction along with the long-range contribution of interaction (Pitzer-Debye-Hückel equation), configurational entropy of mixing (Flory-Huggins relation)...

Volumetric determination of columbium.

The quantitative determination of columbium based on reduction by amalgamated zin c and reox idation with potassium permanganate has, in general, produced results that lack both accuracy and precision. A study of t he various factors involved indicates that essential conditions requ ire adequate duration of reduction in t he presence of an excess of zinc and a proper concentration of both acid ...

Osmotic shrinkage in star/linear polymer mixtures.

Multiarm star polymers were used as model grafted colloidal particles with long hairs, to study their size variation due to osmotic forces arising from added linear homopolymers of smaller size. This is the origin of the depletion phenomenon that has been exploited in the past as a means to melt soft colloidal glasses by adding linear chains and analyzed using dynamic light scattering experimen...
