  • exotherm control in the thermal polymerization of nona ethylene glycol dimethacrylate negdm using a dual radical initiator system
    Polymer, 2003
    Co-Authors: Wayne D Cook
    Abstract:

    The curing behaviour of a long-chain dimethacrylate with a series of peroxide initiators was examined by temperature-ramping DSC. The effect of oxygen inhibition on the onset and peak temperatures cure was confirmed and the peak exotherm temperature was correlated with the decomposition rate of the initiator. The gel point temperature, obtained from temperature-ramping rheology studies, was directly related to the onset of cure from temperature-ramping DSC measurements. A combination of two peroxides with significantly different initiation rates was found to reduce the maximum heat flow and spread the polymerization process over a broader range of temperatures, thus effectively counteracting the auto-acceleration effect without significantly affecting the degree of cure. This behaviour was also predicted by with a free radical polymerization kinetic model. In order to further improve the cure behaviour, Nofmer was used as a chain transfer agent to control the Propagation Reaction in the polymerization. The use of a dual initiator system in the presence of Nofmer yielded a smooth polymerization process occurring over a wide range of temperatures and with low heat flow. Isothermal rheological studies confirmed the delay in the gel point by Nofmer.

  • enhancement of self sustaining Reaction cu3si phase formation starting from mechanically activated powders
    Materials Science and Engineering A-structural Materials Properties Microstructure and Processing, 2000
    Co-Authors: F Bernard, H Souha, E Gaffet
    Abstract:

    Mechanical high-energy ball milling of an 3Cu Si elemental powders mixture was used to activate a self-sustaining combustion Reaction or so-called self-sustaining high-temperature synthesis (SHS) to form the copper silicide phase, a Reaction for which the thermodynamic criterion proposed by Munir for self-Propagation Reaction is not favorable. A complete characterization of the end-products was performed with X-ray diffraction analysis and scanning electron microscopy. Thermal and structural information describing the combustion front initiated by heating up a sample to 180°C in a Cu:Si system is communicated. This paper clearly shows that the mechanically activated self-sustaining high-temperature synthesis process produces a pure Cu3Si compound in spite of the limitation imposed by the thermodynamic criterion. In addition, it seems that the reactivity of Cu3Si elaborated from the mechanically activated SHS process towards CuCl is greater than the reactivity of Cu3Si reference powder. This difference is mainly due to the crystallite size. © 2000 Elsevier Science S.A. All rights reserved.
