According to these results, the most regular polymer structures were obtained using boron trilluoride ethylamine complex as the initiator.
Although stiffer (higher-viscosity) polymers or purge compounds make the best purging materials, their stiffness works against you when you try to push the purge out with the regular polymer. For the best overall efficiency in purging, I find the viscosities of the purging compound and material to be purged should be similar.
So purging should be done near the production output rate for the best result and the most economical use of both the purging compound and regular polymer.
Because cPAM does not adsorb on AKD, regular polymer bridging is impossible and the increase in AKD deposition by cPAM must be due to asymmetric polymer bridging, a phenomenon observed previously (van de Ven and Alince, 1996).
When [alpha]1 = [alpha]3 = 0, Equation (2) describes regular polymer bridging between two types of particles (i.e., for heteroflocculation).
In the present case cPAM does not adsorb on AKD particles stabilized by cationic starch, and thus regular polymer bridging is impossible.
Cationic polymerization of poly(L-lactide) with trifluoromethanesulfonic acid as catalyst provides regular polymer structure which has strong influence on the increasing glass transition temperature, Fig.
The more stereo regular polymers in an attempt to compensate for the loss of the crystallinity from insertion errors introduce more of the amorphous portions of the chain by incorporation of an additional amount of ethylene.
