The detonation pressure depends quadratically on the loading density of the explosives. A precise estimate of the density is thus crucial to decide if a novel energetic material is worth pursuing. In this work we investigate theoretically the crystal densities of the energetic compounds RDX, TNT, NTO, DNAM, CL-20, DADNE, and HMX. We calculate the crystal densities by using Materials Studio 7.0 Polymorph Predictor, employing force fields and exploring molecular packing arrangements with minima in total energy. Geometry optimized molecular structures computed by density functional theory (DFT) are used as input to the density predictions. In an additional DFT study we apply two functionals, B3LYP and M06 with the 6-31G(d) and the 6-31G(d,p) basis sets, and the program package GAUSSIAN09. In this part of the work crystal densities are calculated by using the molecular isosurface volume (defined by the volume within a surface with an electron density of 0.001 electrons per Bohr3) alone or combined with the variance of the electrostatic potential (ESP). The Polymorph Predictor seems to overestimate the densities, but the values are very dependent on the force field strength determined by charges assigned to atoms. In the GAUSSIAN09 DFT study the densities derived by using the M06 functional are in similar agreement with experimental data as what we experienced for the B3LYP results, although both functionals appear to give slightly lower densities than reported experimentally for the majority of the molecules. On average, the densities derived by the ESP method correlate equally well with measured values as the results obtained by the isosurface method.

Archaeological wood is usually severely degraded. The Norwegian Viking Age Oseberg find exemplifies problems arising due to past conservation treatments and the need for new types of preservatives. Phenol formaldehyde (PF) has been investigated as a consolidant for alum-treated wood. X-ray tomography has revealed that it is possible to obtain a porous structure inside the wood, ensuring ethical acceptability by allowing re-treatment. In order to understand the curing mechanics, the kinetics of the initial condensation reaction were elucidated at room temperature. It was found that a second-order reaction using both phenol and formaldehyde concentrations is the most probable mechanism.

The effect of the addition of 50 nm spherical alumina nanoparticles with hydrophilic or hydrophobic surfaces on the morphology of syndiotactic polypropylene (sPP) was investigated. The filler content in the nanocomposites was 3 wt%. Polarized Optical Microscopy and Small Angle Light Scattering (SALS) studies showed that sPP and the nanocomposites form hedrites. The addition of alumina nanoparticles significantly increased the number of hedrites. A higher number of nucleation sites in the nanocomposites promote a higher crystallization rate, and thus hedritic growth was stopped at the early stage of crystallization. Quantitative evaluations by SALS analysis show that the object size is decreased by not only the crystallization conditions but also the presence of Al2O3 nanoparticles. A small amount of Al2O3 nanoparticles did not noticeably affect the crystallinity of sPP, but increased the melting point. Transmission Electron Microscopy images showed that the lamellar thickness did not change significantly with the incorporation of nanoparticles. The lamella thickness, however, depends on cooling rates. X-ray diffraction characterization indicated that the sPP and the nanocomposites were crystallized in disordered “form I”. The incorporation of alumina nanoparticles had a small effect on the crystal structure of syndiotactic polypropylene.

Surface dilatational elasticities and viscosities have been measured by means of the axisymmetric bubble shape method. Two different techniques using sinusoidal oscillations and step relaxations have been used, and the results are treated by means of the bulk/surface diffusional exchange model. Three different nonionic surfactants based on poly(oxy ethylene) as the hydrophilic group have been used: one simple surfactant, Brij 35, and two block copolymers, Pluronic F68 and P9400. Step relaxation and oscillation give mostly the same limiting surface dilatational elasticities, but step relaxation is a more model-dependent method. In the cases where the bulk/surface diffusion model is correct, the two methods give the same results, but otherwise step relaxation gives average values of the limiting elasticity E0 and the typical relaxation frequency 0. Limiting elasticities up to ca. 25 mN m-1 have been found for these substances. The surface/bulk diffusion model describes quite well the two relatively hydrophilic substances Brij 35 and F68, especially at low concentrations, but less so for the more hydrophobic P9400. The surface dilatational elasticity as a function of the surface pressure of the surface-active polymers goes through at least one maximum as a result of surface conformational changes.

Diffusion rates can give important information for the adhesion process across the bondline between insulation and propellant in solid propellant rocket motors. Diffusion coefficients of low molecular weight species such as crosslinkers and plasticizers have been measured by the weight of uptake method in polymer materials that are candidates for propellant contact. The materials were EPDM insulation sheets and ‘‘liners,’’ based on HTPB, HTPE, or GAP, and with different degrees of particle filling. Plots of relative mass gain as a function of the square root of time showed good linearity up to 20 50% weight increase and the diffusion coefficients could thus be determined with good accuracy. The diffusion coefficients for the low molecular weight isocyanates and plasticizers in these materials vary between 10 11 and 10 17 m2 s1, dependent on material types and particle filling. In most cases, the results can be explained by the solubility parameters of the organic liquids and polymers. For the particle filled samples, the diffusion coefficients decrease with increasing degree of particle filling, and the decrease if faster than predicted by the Maxwell Fricke or the Keller models for arrays of smooth spheres.

Plasma treatment of EPDM based rocket motor insulation materials may change the peel strength between these materials and polyurethane polymers with a factor of 0.5 to 10. The matching of surface energies seems to be important for this adhesion process. The surface tension of the components was measured to between ca 30 and 50 mNm-1. The total surface energy of the insulation could be increased from 27.2 mNm-1 to ca 70 mNm-1 by the plasma process. Maximum peel strength could be obtained by less than one minute treatment, while longer times in most cases gave lower values. In some cases very long treatment also gave good strength, probably due to a rougher surface structure. The rate of cure of the polymer was important for the adhesion process as longer curing time correlated with higher peel strengths, which can be explained by diffusion of the polymer’s components into the insulation.

The effect of argon, oxygen, and nitrogen plasma treatment of solvent cast EPDM rubber films has been investigated by means of atomic force microscopy (AFM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and surface energy measurements. Plasma treatment leads to changes in the surface energy from 25 to 70 mN/m. Treatment conditions influenced both the changes in surface energy and the stability, and it became more difficult to obtain good contact angle measurements after longer (> ca. 4 min) treatment times, probably because of an increasingly uneven surface structure. XPS analyses revealed that up to 20 at. % oxygen can be easily incorporated and that variations of /-%5 can be controlled by the plasma conditions. Oxygen was mainly found in hydroxyl groups, but also as carbonyl and carboxyl. XPS analyses showed more stable surfaces than expected from contact angles, probably because XPS analysis is less surface sensitive than contact angle measurements. AFM measurements revealed different surface structures with the three gases. The surface roughness increased generally with treatment time, and dramatic changes could be observed at longer times. At short times, surface energy changes were much faster than the changes in surface structure, showing that plasma treatment conditions can be utilized to tailor both surface energies and surface structure of EPDM rubber.

Linear and nonlinear viscoelasticity of semidilute aqueous solutions of an unmodified reference poly(acrylamide) (PAM) and of a hydrophobically modified poly(acrylamide) (HM-PAM) in the presence of various amounts of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and at different temperatures have been examined. Oscillatory shear experiments in the linear viscoelastic domain revealed significant polymer-surfactant interaction for the HM-PAM-SDS system at a surfactant concentration of ca. 8 mmolal, whereas practically no surfactant effect was observed for the PAM-SDS system. The rheological features for the HM-PAM-SDS system were found to be strongly dependent upon the level of surfactant addition, with first an increase and then a decrease in the values of parameters such as the dynamic viscosity. While the position of the maximum of the viscosity curve, with regard to the surfactant concentration, was independent of polymer concentration and temperature, the strength of the network was promoted by increasing polymer content and decreasing temperature. At higher surfactant concentrations, a breakdown of chain associations occurred. A non-Newtonian shear thinning behavior, as well as a thixotropy, was detected for HM-PAM solutions in the presence of surfactant. These effects were most pronounced at ca. 8 mmolal SDS at the lowest temperature. The rheological features reveal that the hydrophobic associations, induced by HM-PAM-SDS interactions, play an important role for the viscoelastic properties of the system.
