Polyvinylidene fluoride.

Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF)

Polyvinylidene fluoride or polyvinylidene difluoride is a highly non-reactive thermoplastic fluoropolymer.
Polyvinylidene fluoride is generally synthesized by the free radical polymerisation of 1,1-difluoroethylene or vinylidene fluoride.

Determination of molecular weight by osmotic pressure method

Determination of molecular weight by osmotic pressure method. Osmotic pressure method is also called membrane osmometry. This method is widely used to determine the number average molecular weight of polymers. This method is based on the phenomenon of osmosis. If a pure solvent is separated from a solution through a semipermeable membrane, due to concentration (chemical potential) difference between the solvent and solution, the solvent will flow into the solution through semipermeable membrane. The pressure applied on the solution to completely stop the flow of solvent into it through semipermeable membrane is called osmotic pressure. The theory of osmotic pressure also applies to a solution of polymers. Ordinary solution obeys Van't Hoff equation i.e π=cRT/M Where π is osmotic pressure, c is concentration in mass per unit volume, R is gas constant, T is temperature and M is molar mass. The polymer solution are non ideal. Taking into account their deviation and us...

Natural rubber (Polyisoprene).

Natural rubber (Polyisoprene) Polyisoprene (polymer of isoprene) is the primary chemical constituent of natural rubber. Thus isoprene is a monomer of natural rubber. Polyisoprene. Natural rubber is soft and sticky. It has elasticity. It can be used over a narrow range of temperature (from 10°C to 60°C). Natural rubbers are sensitive to heat. Natural rubbers are easily oxidised by air. It is insoluble in water. It is soluble in solvents like ether, carbon tetrachloride, petrol etc. Natural rubbers are used to make rubber bands. They are also used to make shoe soles and rubber tubes. They are used to make gloves, erasers, mats etc. Next Uses of natural rubber. Questions on polyisoprene; Q1) What is polyisoprene?
