Optimization of epoxidation by using response surface methodology (RSM) based on three-level three-factorial central composite design (CCD) was used. Response percentage of relative oxirane content (%RCO) was studied to determine the optimum reaction condition for production of polyols. The predicted value of model (85 %) was excellent in accordance to experimental value (81 %).
Thermomechanical studies of polamide 6 compositions, modified with (MPM) montmorillonite-polyvinylpyrrolidone mixture, were performed. Polyamide 6 nanocomposites were obtained by the solution deposition. The influence of nanocomposite production conditions on morphological features of polymer blends were researched. Determination of thermomechanical properties makes it possible to define the optimal content of MPM in polyamide 6 blends.
The kinetics of complexing agents anodic decomposition in electrolytes based on Cr(III) salts was investigated. In Cr(III) electrolytes urea was shown to be fixed in complexes with Cr3+-ions. It was found that the main way of free carbamide degradation was hydrolysis characterized by a high rate (k = 4.5•10-3 min-1). Decrease in formic acid concentration during electrolysis at composite ТіОх/РtОу-anodes was insignificant.
