TG/FT-IR characterization of additives typically employed in EPDM formulations

Additives in adhesive formulations Wetting Agents – boon or bane ?

Pressure-sensitive adhesives or PSAs are traditionally used on labels, including paper labels and clear labels, Figure 1, which are made from plastic film. Other important uses for PSAs include adhesive tapes and a wide range of graphical applications. One factor that all these applications have in common is a specific requirement relating to the end performance of the adhesive system, which is...

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...

Characterization of Brucella abortus soluble antigen employed in immunoassay.

A soluble antigen extract of Brucella abortus (BASA) has been prepared by the National Veterinary Services Laboratories and furnished to a number of workers who are examining antibody-mediated and cell-mediated immune responses of cattle infected with B. abortus. Three lots of BASA were examined. There were quantitative but not qualitative differences among lots by content of protein, total car...
