Rheological properties of melts and x-ray method of study of cross-linked polyethylene

In the paper, the X-ray study of cross-linked polyethylene with isopropenyl styrene or acrylonitrile was carried out. It is shown that cross-linking leads to a significant decrease in the area of the exothermic peak, an increase in the resistance of the structured system to thermal oxidation. These data confirm that the increase in resistance to thermal aging of polyethylene cross-linked with acrylonitrile or isopropenyl styrene fraction.

Obtaining of Coumarone-Indene Resins Based on Light Fraction of Coal Tar. 4. Bitumen-Polymer Blends with Participation of Coumarone-Indene Resins with Epoxy Groups

Using light fraction of coal tar (5.75 wt % of coumarone and 44.45 wt % of indene), glycidyl methacrylate and styrene, the coumarone-indene resin with epoxy groups (CIRE) has been synthesized. Monoperoxy derivative of diglycidyl ether Bisphenol A (PO) was used as an initiator. The possible formation of CIRE has been studied on the model systems consisting of PO, glycidyl methacrylate, indene or coumarone, or styrene, or mixture of mentioned compounds. The synthesized product has been investigated as a polymer additive to bitumen-polymer blends (BPB).

Obtaining of Coumarone-Indene Resins Based on Light Fraction of Coal Tar. 3. Coumarone-Indene Resins with Methacrylic Fragments

The method for obtaining coumarone-indene resins with methacrylic fragments (CIRM) was developed with the addition of methyl methacrylate, using a light fraction of coal tar and its fraction boiling within 423–463 К. CIRM was obtained via radical cooligomerization using 2,2'-azobis (2-methyl-propionitrile) as the initiator. The effect of the initiator amount, temperature and reaction time on the yield, softening temperature and molecular weight of CIRM has been established. The structure of the synthesized CIRM has been confirmed by IR and NMR spectroscopy.

Application of Vacuum Distillation for the Used Mineral Oils Recycling

The physico-chemical properties and the group composition of the used mineral motor oils M-10DM and NORMAL 15W40, as well as the fractions obtained as a result of their vacuum distillation, have been studied. The results of IR spectroscopy and XRF analysis are presented. The change in the composition and properties of the fractions distilled from used oils under vacuum has been described.

Investigation of Functional Carboxy-Containing Oligomers by IR and NMR Spectroscopy

New functional oligomers have been synthesized via intereaction of epoxy oligomers with carboxylic ones or with dibasic carboxy acids. In some cases synthesis was accompanied by ROP-polymerization of DGEBA, initiated by carboxylic oligomer. The structure of obtained products was investigated by IR, 1Н and 13C NMR spectroscopy.
