SYNTHESIS OF NYLON ELASTOMERS

Fracture Toughness of Blends of Nylon 6 with Maleated Elastomers

synthesis and characterization of epdm elastomers

a series of ethylene-propylene-2-ethylidenebicyclo [2.2.1] hept.5-ene terpolymers (epdm) have been prepared using a vocl3/al2et3cl3 catalyst under various al/v ratios and diene concentrations via solution polymerization and characterized by ftir, mooney viscosity (ml1+4,125oc), and thermal gravimetery analyzing. the polymerization yield was seen to increase with augmentation of the al/v ratio a...

The Synthesis and Some Properties of Nylon

The synthesis of nylon 4,T from tetramethylenediamine and a terephthalic acid derivative was studied in a two stepprocess: prepolymerization, followed by postcondensation in the solid state (4 h, m C ) . The prepolymers were prepared by the nylon salt method, ester polymerization method, interfacial method, and a low temperature solution method. A maximum qinh of 1.52 was obtained. From a solut...

Papain-Catalyzed Synthesis of Polyglutamate Containing a Nylon Monomer Unit

Peptides have the potential to serve as an alternative for petroleum-based polymers to support a sustainable society. However, they lack thermoplasticity, owing to their strong intermolecular interactions. In contrast, nylon is famous for its thermoplasticity and chemical resistance. Here, we synthesized peptides containing a nylon unit to modify their thermal properties by using papain-catalyz...

Synthesis and evaluation of poly(diol citrate) biodegradable elastomers.

Herein, we report the synthesis and evaluation of a novel family of biodegradable and elastomeric polyesters, poly(diol citrates). Poly(diol citrates) were synthesized by reacting citric acid with various diols to form a covalent cross-linked network via a polycondensation reaction without using exogenous catalysts. The tensile strength of poly(diol citrates) were as high as 11.15+/-2.62 MPa an...
