  2. Polypropylene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polypropylene

    Due to the tertiary carbon atom, PP is chemically less resistant than PE (see Markovnikov rule). [11] Most commercial polypropylene is isotactic and has an intermediate level of crystallinity between that of low-density polyethylene (LDPE) and high-density polyethylene (HDPE). Isotactic & atactic polypropylene is soluble in p-xylene at

  3. Thermal degradation of polymers - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_degradation_of...

    In polymers, such as plastics, thermal degradation refers to a type of polymer degradation where damaging chemical changes take place at elevated temperatures, without the simultaneous involvement of other compounds such as oxygen. [1] [2] Simply put, even in the absence of air, polymers will begin to degrade if heated high enough. It is ...

  4. Propylene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propylene

    Observed concentrations have been in the range of 0.1–4.8 parts per billion in rural air, 4–10.5 ppb in urban air, and 7–260 ppb in industrial air samples. [ 9 ] In the United States and some European countries a threshold limit value of 500 parts per million ( ppm ) was established for occupational (8-hour time-weighted average ) exposure.

  5. Lower critical solution temperature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lower_critical_solution...

    For example, the system triethylamine-water has an LCST of 19 °C, so that these two substances are miscible in all proportions below 19 °C but not at higher temperatures. [1] [2] The nicotine-water system has an LCST of 61 °C, and also a UCST of 210 °C at pressures high enough for liquid water to exist at that temperature. The components ...

  6. Solubility - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solubility

    In liquid water at high temperatures, (e.g. that approaching the critical temperature), the solubility of ionic solutes tends to decrease due to the change of properties and structure of liquid water; the lower dielectric constant results in a less polar solvent and in a change of hydration energy affecting the ΔG of the dissolution reaction.

  7. List of thermal conductivities - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_thermal_conductivities

    Let d is a plate distance in meters, P is an air pressure in Pascals (N/m 2), T is temperature Kelvin, C is this Lasance constant 7.6 ⋅ 10 −5 m ⋅ K/N and PP is the product P ⋅ d/T. The Lasance approximation formula is K e /K 0 = 1/(1+C/PP) .

  8. Volatility (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volatility_(chemistry)

    Bromine liquid readily transitions to vapor at room temperature, indicating high volatility. In chemistry , volatility is a material quality which describes how readily a substance vaporizes . At a given temperature and pressure , a substance with high volatility is more likely to exist as a vapour , while a substance with low volatility is ...

  9. Polypropylene carbonate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polypropylene_carbonate

    Polypropylene carbonate is soluble in polar solvents like lower ketones, ethyl acetate, dichloromethane and chlorinated hydrocarbons and insoluble in solvents like alcohols, water, and aliphatic hydrocarbons. It also forms stable emulsions in water. PPC allows the diffusion of gases like oxygen through it.
