Sol or gel phase could be distinguished according to the concentrations of polymer and crosslinker. The boundary polymer concentration did not depend on the types of gelation and decreased with increasing polymer dimension (molecular weight and conformation). The gelation, which is basically interchain bonding, requires the occurrence of entanglement. The overlap concentration is thus considered as the minimum polymer concentration required for gelation.展开更多

However, the real origin of permeation resistance hasn＇t been clarified yet in the light of polymer solution nature. The removal of nitrate contamination by polyelectrolytes was carried out with stirred batch ultrafiltration. The polyelectrolyte concentrations both in permeate and retentate were analyzed with total organic carbon analyzer and permeate mass was acquired by electronic balance connected with computer. The total resistance was calculated and interpreted based on the osmotic pressures in three concentration regimes. In the dilute region, the resistance was proportional to polymer concentration; in the semidilute region, the resistance depended on polymer concentration in the parabolic relationship; in the highly concentrated solution regime, the osmotic pressure factor （OPF） would dominate the total resistance; and the deviation from OPF control could come from the electrostatic repulsion between the tightly compacted and charged polyelectrolyte particles at extremely concentrated solution regime. It was first found that dilute and semidilute concentration regions can be easily detected by plotting the leg-log curves of the polymer concentration versus the ratio of the total resistance to polymer concentration. The new concept OPF was defined and did work well at highly concentrated regime.展开更多

It was found that only under vacuum evaporating conditions did the endothermic peak in the DSC curves of a-PS films depend on the concentration of the a-PS solution. For the samples cast from the solution of concentration below 0. 010 g/mL, no endothermal peak was observed, but for those cast from the solution of concentration above 0. 020 g/mL, obvious endothermal peaks appeared. The onset of the endothermal peak is correlated with the critical overlapping concentration c' (0. 010-0. 020 g/mL), which is in agreement with the theoretically calculated one (Ccal=0.014 g/mL).展开更多
