Curing is a chemical process employed in polymer chemistry and process engineering that produces the toughening or hardening of a polymer material by cross-linking of polymer chains. [1] Even if it is strongly associated with the production of thermosetting polymers , the term "curing" can be used for all the processes where a solid product is ...
The reaction is exothermic and a wide range of molecular masses are produced. Bulk polymerization is carried out in the absence of any solvent or dispersant and is thus the simplest in terms of formulation.
The cross-linking of polymer molecules that occurs in the curing process is exothermic, resulting in a negative peak in the DSC curve that usually appears soon after the glass transition. [15] [16] [17] In the pharmaceutical industry it is necessary to have well-characterized drug compounds in order to define processing parameters. For instance ...
In polymer chemistry "cross-linking" usually refers to the use of cross-links to promote a change in the polymers' physical properties. When "crosslinking" is used in the biological field, it refers to the use of a probe to link proteins together to check for protein–protein interactions, as well as other creative cross-linking methodologies.
An energy profile of an exothermic reaction. In an exothermic reaction, by definition, the enthalpy change has a negative value: ΔH = H products - H reactants < 0. where a larger value (the higher energy of the reactants) is subtracted from a smaller value (the lower energy of the products). For example, when hydrogen burns: 2H 2 (g) + O 2 (g ...
Glutaraldehyde is an organic compound with the formula (CH 2) 3 (CHO) 2.The molecule consists of a five carbon chain doubly terminated with formyl (CHO) groups. It is usually used as a solution in water, and such solutions exists as a collection of hydrates, cyclic derivatives, and condensation products, several of which interconvert.
The process is so exothermic (ΔH = -515 kJ/mol) that the LiI evaporates, leaving a residue of GaN. With GaCl 3 in place of GaI 3, the reaction is so exothermic that the product GaN decomposes. Thus, the selection of the metal halide affects the success of the method. Other compounds prepared by this method include metal dichalcogenides such as ...
The initial result was disappointing as reaction of CpTa(=CH−t−Bu)Cl 2 with ethylene yielded only a metallacyclopentane, not metathesis products: [44] But by tweaking this structure to a PR 3 Ta(CHt−bu)(Ot−bu) 2 Cl (replacing chloride by t-butoxide and a cyclopentadienyl by an organophosphine, metathesis was established with cis-2 ...
