Isobutyl-2 cyanoacrylate (IBCA) polymerizes by an anionic mechanism. The initiation of
polymerization depends on an alkaline medium and can be inhibited with the addition of small …

Chain transfer constants to monomer have been measured by an emulsion copolymerization
technique at 44C. The monomer transfer constant (ratio of transfer to propagation rate …

A method is introduced for the estimation of Mark-Houwink constants of block and statistical
copolymers. The homopolymer Mark-Houwink constants and copolymer composition are …

Poly(ethylene terephthalate) and polypropylene are considered, to be incompatible by the
usual criteria for polymer blends. Sheath/core filaments of these polymers could not be …

A new method has been developed to quantitatively determine the number average molecular
weight (M n ) of a polymer sample by GPC using an online differential viscometer as the …

A commercially available densimeter with a vibrating stainless steel tube was used as a
detector in the GPC analysis of styrene/methyl methacrylate copolymers under normal GPC …

Estimation of molecular weights from GPC data is complicated when the polymer sample
consists of a mixture of homopolymers or of statistical copolymers with nonuniform compositions…

A fast and specific method has been developed for the determination of hydroxyl content in
prepolymers that contain hydroxymethylene functional groups. This method involves reaction …

A series of primary and secondary diols carrying nitroalkyl, nitro, and fluoro substituents was
reacted with formaldehyde under conditions of acid catalysis. Short‐chain primary diols …

The scope of polyformal formation from nitro‐ and fluorodiols has been explored further with
a series of α, ω‐diols. Polymers with M̄ n s of 2000–4000 were generally obtained but M̄ …
