Types of Step-Growth Polymers: Polyesters

2.4K
The introduction of polyesters has brought major development to the textile industry. The wrinkle-free behavior of polyester blends has eliminated the need for starching and ironing clothes.
Polyesters are commonly prepared from terephthalic acid and ethylene glycol; the crude product is known as poly(ethylene terephthalate) or PET. However, polyesters are synthesized industrially by transesterification of dimethyl terephthalate with ethylene glycol at 150 °C. The two reactants and the polymer...

Free-Radical Chain Reaction and Polymerization of Alkenes

8.9K
The conversion of alkenes to macromolecules called polymers is a reaction of high commercial importance. The structure of the polymer is defined by a repeating unit, while the terminal groups are considered insignificant. The average degree of polymerization represents the number of repeating units in the polymer molecule and is denoted by the subscript n.

Plasticizers01:31

Plasticizers

204
Water-reducers, or plasticizers, are chemical admixtures used in concrete to improve strength and workability. These additives reduce the water-cement ratio without compromising workability, lower the cement content while maintaining the same workability, or increase workability to assist concrete placement in inaccessible areas.
Plasticizers function by using surface-active agents to create repulsive electrostatic forces between cement particles. This dispersion enhances the concrete's...

Background:

  • Ethylene gas accelerates produce spoilage, necessitating methods to extend shelf life.
  • Ethylene-removing packaging (ERP) offers a solution by reducing ambient ethylene levels.
  • Current literature on ERP technology is limited, focusing more on compounds than the packaging itself.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review and synthesize existing literature on ethylene-removing packaging (ERP).
  • To discuss the fundamental principles and recent advancements in ERP technology.
  • To identify research gaps and future directions for effective ERP development.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of peer-reviewed scientific papers and industry websites.
  • Analysis of factors influencing effective ERP design (produce, packaging, removers).
  • Classification and detailed examination of various ethylene-removing compounds and integration techniques.

Main Results:

  • Identified key design factors for effective ERP, including material properties and remover integration.
  • Classified ERP types and analyzed various ethylene-removing compounds, their mechanisms, and impacts.
