    Notes: From the break-down in the viscosity and from the increase of the intensity of the scattered light, associated with the entrance into the two-phase region, the pressure dependence of the demixing temperature of solutions of PVC 37 000, PVC 75 000 and PVC 100 000 in phenetole and PVC 75 000 in o-xylene was measured up to 1 000 bar. (The numbers in the codes of the PVC specimens are their approximate molecular weights.) The application of pressure increases the demixing temperatures of PVC in both solvents by about 1 K/100 bar. For a qualitative forecast of the pressure effects, the solubility parameter theory in combination with the corresponding states principle, and an empirical correlation to the relative distance of the critical demixing temperature to the melting point of the pure solvent were used. The results of both concepts are in accord with the experimental findings.

    Notes: Using a self-constructed light scattering apparatus, the pressure dependence of the demixing temperature of solutions of PVC 20 000, PVC 37 000 and PVC 70 000 in THE/water was determined up to 1 000 bar for different compositions of the mixed solvent. (The numbers in the codes of the PVC specimens are their approximate molecular weights.) In contrast to the thetasolvents o-xylene and phenetole, the solubility decreases with increasing pressure for all molecular weights and compositions under investigation typically by about 1 K/100 bar. The evaluation of the experimental findings demonstrates that the volume fraction of the nonsolvent in the mixed solvent, ϕ2*, is the variable that governs phase separation: For the present region of p and T, a given polymer solution demixes at a characteristic constant value of ϕ2*, no matter how it is reached. This fact allows the prediction of pressure influences from known pVT data of the pure components and measurements at atmospheric pressure. A qualitative theoretical understanding of the observed influences of p and T can be reached on the basis of the solubility parameter theory.

    Notes: Viscosity measurements were carried out as a function of pressure and temperature with solutions of 8 wt.-% PVC (Mw ≈ 75 000) in ten thermodynamically good solvents by means of a Searle-type viscometer. A rollingxyhball viscometer was used for the investigation of the pure solvents. In all cases the viscosity increases in a more or less exponential manner when the pressure is raised. The viscosity ratio f1000 = η1000 bar/η1bar can be varied by the choice of the solvent from ca. 2 (tetrahydrofuran) to 3,0 (cyclohexanone) at 40°C. For a constant temperature of 40°C, the volumes of activation for the viscous flow of the solutions, V≠, or f1000 exceed that of the pure solvent, by typically 25%. The dependence of f1000 or V≠ upon temperature is not very pronounced. However, the greater the f1000-values, the more marked are the temperature effects. The theoretical analysis of the data, including earlier measurements with PS, indicates that three terms contribute to f1000: the basic value (f1000)s stemming from the pure solvent, the value (f1000)p which the polymer would contribute under athermal conditions, and finally a thermodynamic term, (f1000)pa, considering the pull-along effect (i.e. the specific forces a given segment exerts on other segments under variable thermodynamic conditions).

    Notes: Viscosities were measured as a function of pressure and temperature with solutions of PVC 75 000 in cyclohexanone (CHO) and polymer contents ranging from 0,6 to 12 wt.-%, by means of a Searle-type (≥3 wt.-%) and a rolling-ball viscometer (〈3 wt.-%). Furthermore, the influence of molecular weight was determined with solutions of 8 wt.-% of PVC 20 000, PVC 37 000 and PVC 100 000. (The numbers in the codes of the PVC specimens are their approximate molecular weights.) For all concentrations and molecular weights, the viscosity increases in a more or less exponential manner with increasing pressure. The ratio f1000 of the viscosity of the solution at 1 000 and 1 bar can be varied by the change of the polymer content from 2,5 (the value of the pure solvent, index s) to 3,5 (12 wt.-% PVC 75 000) at t = 25°C and from 2,23 to 2,94 at t = 80°C. An increase of the molecular weight of the polymer raises f1000 in a similar manner as the polymer concentration. Using the reduced variables V≠/V≠ (ratio of the volumes of activation of the solution and the pure solvent) and c̃ (product of the polymer concentration and the intrinsic viscosity), all results obtained by variation of T, c and Mw can be represented by a master curve. This means that it is possible to calculate the pressure dependence of a given polymer solution of arbitrary polymer concentration from a mere measurement of the intrinsic viscosity at normal pressure. Criteria are presented which allow a forecast concerning the occurrence of minima in the concentration dependence of the energy of activation of the viscous flow E≠ and V≠.

    Notes: A new Continuous Polymer Fractionation method, called CPF, is described. The polymer to be fractionated is dissolved in a solvent/non-solvent mixture, and this solution (feed) is extracted continuously by a second liquid (extracting agent), which contains the same solvent components as the feed. In the case of PVC, the fractionation was carried out with a pulsed counter current extraction apparatus and THF/water was used as solvent/non-solvent mixture. Fractionation is achieved by the fact that the molecules are distributed over the counter current phases according to their chain length; the feed leaves the column as gel and the extracting agent as sol. First some explorative experiments were made in order to determine suitable working parameters, like frequency and amplitude of pulsation, compositions of feed and extracting agent and the ratio of flow. With the so obtained parameters, preparative experiments were carried out, yielding five PVC-fractions with molecular weights ranging from 20 000 to 100 000 (GPC, LS) and non-uniformities, U = (Mw/Mn) -1, of about 0,2 (GPC) using a starting material with Mw = 67 000 and U = 0,95.

    Notes: Investigations with ca. 100 organic liquids in a temperature range from -20°C to 90°C result in a survey of the solubility behaviour of PVC. The experimental results were compared with the predictions of the solubility parameter theory: Accepting δ = 9,75 (cal/cm3)1/2 as the solubility parameter for PVC, all solvents (except ketones in which PVC is soluble independent of their solubility parameters) are located within the range of δPVC ± 0,75. Only three of the 100 liquids examined turned out to be (endothermal) theta-solvents, namely the aromatic solvents o-xylene, phenetole and dimethyl phthalate. The theta-temperatures in o-xylene and phenetole were determined viscometrically by means of the temperature dependence of the Mark-Houwink exponent to be 84 and 88°C, respectively. Viscosity measurements were also performed in the temperature range of 25 to 60°C with solutions of PVC 75 000 in 10 thermodynamically good solvents used for rheological investigations. In all cases the intrinsic viscosities decrease slightly with increasing temperature, i.e., all solutions are weakly exothermal. The binary cluster integral, β, was determined (taking the monomeric unit as the statistical segment) and the polar contribution, βe, was calculated from Yamakawa's theory. The correlations between the non-polar part of (βn = β - βe) and the solubility parameter of the solvent, found by Utracki, were tested and found to be valid for the present systems, too.

    Notes: The countercurrent extraction method recently developed for the continuous polymer fractionation (CPF) was applied to linear polyethylene (M̄w = 55 kg/mol; M̄n = 16,7 kg/mol). At temperatures higher than 130°C, moderately concentrated solution of polyethylene were extracted to remove the low-molecular-weight components. Discontinuous fractionation experiments served to detect the best suited solvents. Diphenyl ether was chosen to demonstrate that the present extraction can be performed even with the same single solvent used to prepare the feed. For very high-molecular-weight polymers, mixed solvents are, however, normally better than single ones, since they allow an easier tailoring of thermodynamic conditions, and yield much less viscous solutions. Mixtures of tetralin and triethylene glycol turned out to be best suited for polyethylene. By means of four successive CPF runs with the single solvent, polyethylene fractions with non-uniformities U = (M̄w/M̄n) - 1 of approx. 0,3 to 0,4 were obtained on a 100 g scale. The rule of thumb that U can be halved in each CPF step without extensive optimization of the method was corroborated.

    Notes: A new rotational viscometer is presented which can be operated up to 2 000 bar and a maximum shear stress of 420 Pa. It allows, for the first time, to investigate the non-Newtonian flow behaviour of moderately concentrated polymer solutions. Results of measurements with two representatives of the system 2-propanol/poly(butyl methacrylate) with weight-average molecular weights M̄w = 520 000 and M̄w = 2 050 000, and ratios of weight- to number-average molecular weights M̄w/M̄n = 1,08 and M̄w/M̄w = 1,23, resp. in the region of moderate polymer concentrations are reported. For a ca. 7 wt.-% solution of the higher-molecular-weight polymer one obtains viscometric relaxation times τ0 varying from 1 to 100 ms in the region from 1 to 2 000 bar and from 40 to 75°C; at the lower temperature the application of p can raise τ0 by one order of magnitude. The steady-state shear compliance (proportional to τ0/η0, where η0 is the zero-shear viscosity), is independent of pressure of varies only slightly. For the present system, which gels thermoreversibly upon cooling, η0 and τ0 as a function of temperature and pressure can be well represented by the Williams-Landel-Ferry equation.
