this is more confusing than quantum mechanics... i am now frustrated and discouraged. all i wanted to do was make a small contribution so a good friend could be credited for his life long work. yeah i am not a writer, I guess this forces me to hire someone to do it. I cant even find a way to put it back in the sandbox so i can fix it.

@Yeshal9000: Hello, Yeshal9000. Thank you for your interest in Wikipedia. The reviewer who expressed concern about copyright violations was very explicit as to the original sources that were copied. For example, you did not simply cite the biographical sketch found at http://www.christimbersmusic.com/about/ -- you actually copied portions of the text. This is against Wikipedia's rules. Hiring someone to do it for you, without proper disclosure will result in the article being deleted. jcc (tea and biscuits) 15:16, 15 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Based on comment by Swister Twister on August 30,2017 I have edited this article to address the issue of reference formatting which are easily verifiable by clicking each reference to establish notability for inclusion in encyclopedia with many citations independent of the subject as found especially on peer review journals on references 2,3 and other high impact peer review journal including references 4,5,6,7 and 15. Based on comment by jmcgnh the best three references were selected from reference 6 citation as follows:

Can you all take a look before my re-submission?

TerungwaSamuel (talk) 03:29, 12 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Since I'm unable to read those three references, the discussion may need to be carried on by someone who has appropriate access.

It's still unclear to me which part of WP:NPROF you are depending on to establish notability. — jmcgnh^{(talk) (contribs)} 04:57, 12 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I bet we are supposed to notify editors of responses here: @TerungwaSamuel: That may be better than expecting them to check back on their own. — jmcgnh^{(talk) (contribs)} 05:10, 12 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Jmcgnh: That's what the TB button is for :) jcc (tea and biscuits) 17:19, 13 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

jmcgnh, TerungwaSamuel and SwisterTwister I'm afraid an AFD some weeks ago has determined that the subject is not notable. No article about him is possible, unless he does something really significant such as winning a major prize such as the Nobel or becomes the head of a department at a major university. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 17:25, 12 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your contribution dodger67, in which you linked worthy contributors as SwisterTwister and jmcgnh. Be reminded of the criteria for notability academics in wikipedia as follows: "Academics/professors meeting any one of the following conditions, as substantiated through reliable sources, are notable. Academics/professors meeting none of these conditions may still be notable if they meet the conditions of WP:BIO or other notability criteria, and the merits of an article on the academic/professor will depend largely on the extent to which it is verifiable. Before applying these criteria, see the General notes and Specific criteria notes sections, which follow.

The person's research has had a significant impact in their scholarly discipline, broadly construed, as demonstrated by independent reliable sources.
The person has received a highly prestigious academic award or honor at a national or international level.
The person is or has been an elected member of a highly selective and prestigious scholarly society or association (e.g., a National Academy of Sciences or the Royal Society) or a fellow of a major scholarly society which reserves fellow status as a highly selective honor (e.g., Fellow of the IEEE).[2]
The person's academic work has made a significant impact in the area of higher education, affecting a substantial number of academic institutions.
The person holds or has held a named chair appointment or distinguished professor appointment at a major institution of higher education and research (or an equivalent position in countries where named chairs are uncommon).
The person has held a highest-level elected or appointed administrative post at a major academic institution or major academic society.
The person has had a substantial impact outside academia in their academic capacity.
The person is or has been the head or chief editor of a major, well-established academic journal in their subject area.
The person is in a field of literature (e.g., writer or poet) or the fine arts (e.g., musician, composer, artist), and meets the standards for notability in that art..."

As you can see from above,"Academics/professors meeting any one of the following conditions, as substantiated through reliable sources, are notable". In the case of the subject, the first criterion is the focus "1. The person's research has had a significant impact in their scholarly discipline, broadly construed, as demonstrated by independent reliable sources. To count towards satisfying Criterion 1, citations need to occur in peer-reviewed scholarly publications such as journals or academic books".

As in the article of the subject, in the reference section amongst others, the citations came from highly impact peer reviewed scholarly publications such as journals and academic books. Based on your comment to me, you based your contribution on item 2 and 5 out of the nine(9) criteria in which only ONE is required to prove notability. Based on the fact that only ONE criterion is required to prove notability,the subject's article proves item ONE(1) as stated above from verifiable, reliable, peer reviewed journals and academic book. Based on these facts above, undeleting the article is requested with much appreciation. Thanks.TerungwaSamuel (talk) 22:50, 13 September 2017 (UTC)TerungwaSamuel (talk) 22:57, 13 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Further, thank you dodger67 for sending this issue to primefac to review. Based on that review by primefac as in your talk page dodger67 among other things, primefac stated clearly"I can't find anything other than the three press releases found in the draft, indicating a lack of notability". This further supports the view that notability has been established therefore undeleting the article is requested and appreciated.TerungwaSamuel (talk) 23:30, 13 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Misinterpretation of statement. The "other than three press releases" is attached to "I can't find anything other than", and the "indicating a lack of notability" is the result of not finding anything. I do not endorse undeletion (nor do I strictly oppose it, but I have a feeling the draft will just end up at MFD if it's resurrected). Primefac (talk) 23:31, 13 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

On what basis are you saying the several peer review journals with several citations and academic book as in reference section does not meet the criterion 1 under criteria notability academics as stated above as there are nine of them, and only one needs to be proved?

(Mw) at the water-air interface and on the solid support (quartz, silicon) were studied. It was shown by UV and IR spectroscopy, anal. of the θ-S compression isotherms, and imaging by at. force microscopy (AFM) that the state of PVP-block-PFMA monolayers on the aq. subphase and solid support is detd. by the ratio of Mw of comonomer blocks Mw(PFMA)/Mw(PVP), the aggregation of copolymers in soln. and in the surface layer (surface micellation and phase isolation). Surface free energy of the films calcd. in the Wendt-Good-Kaelbly-Dan-Fowkes approxn. increases up to 30-33 mJ m-2 from 21 mJ m-2 (PFMA). The values of adhesion work Wadh (monolayer-water droplet-air) and Wadh (monolayer-water in octanol) and AFM imaging characterize the lipophilicity and surface topol. of the films as optimal for thromboresistant materials.

3. Studies of fluorinated methylacrylate copolymer on the surface of cotton fabrics By Luo, Jun; Wu, Qing; Huang, Heng-chao; Chen, Jian-jun From Textile Research Journal (2011), 81(16), 1702-1712. Language: English, Database: CAPLUS, DOI:10.1177/0040517511410111

A fluorine-contg. methylacrylate copolymer latex has been synthesized by emulsion polymn. and was used as a water- and oil-repellent agent to treat some pure cotton woven fabrics at different dry and curing temp. The treated cotton fabric surfaces were investigated by attenuated total reflectance IR anal. and angle-dependent XPS directly. The anal. results could agree with the fluorine-contg. copolymer real situation on the fabrics surface much more, and could indicate, factually, surface properties of treated or modified material rather than copolymer film. It was found that fluorine elements are enriched at the air-polymer interface and fluorine content of the treated cotton fabrics surface decreases with increasing anal. depth, which depends on heating and cooling experience, such as annealing and quenching. Furthermore, the results showed that almost the same effect can be attained using this copolymer curing from 100°C to 175°C; the relatively low curing temp. is very valuable and advantageous for some fabrics which would yellow easily at higher temps. The water- and oil-repellency grade of treated cotton fabrics by the fluorine-contg. methylacrylate copolymer latex increases with an increase on fluorine content on the surface.

5. Fabrication of fluorinated polymer nanosheets using the Langmuir-Blodgett technique: characterization of their surface properties and applications By Aminuzzaman, Mohammod; Mitsuishi, Masaya; Miyashita, Tokuji From Polymer International (2010), 59(5), 583-596. Language: English, Database: CAPLUS, DOI:10.1002/pi.2761

A review describes the bottom-up design of ultra-thin fluorinated polymer films. Fluorinated polymer assemblies offer unique and application-oriented properties strongly correlated with surface chem. We focus on our recent topic of research, fluorinated polymer nanosheets, which are ultra-thin polymer films fabricated from amphiphilic fluorinated polyalkylacrylamides using the elegant Langmuir-Blodgett technique. These fluorinated polymer nanosheets have excellent hydrophobicity, extremely low surface energy and a low friction coeff. Therefore, fluorinated polymer nanosheets are attractive nanomaterials for surface modification in terms of tailoring of wettability, frictional properties, adhesion and surface chem. The nanocoating technique using reactive fluorinated polymer nanosheets and surface modification of hard disks and microchannels are also reviewed. Copyright © 2010 Society of Chem. Industry.

6. Synthesis and Characterizations of Highly Fluorinated Poly(arylene ether)s for Quadratic Nonlinear Optics By Aljoumaa, Khaled; Qi, Yinghua; Ding, Jianfu; Delaire, Jacques A. From Macromolecules (Washington, DC, United States) (2009), 42(23), 9275-9288. Language: English, Database: CAPLUS, DOI:10.1021/ma900930q

New highly fluorinated poly(arylene ether sulfone)s (FPAES), poly(arylene ether ketone)s (FPAEK), and poly(arylene ether)s with several types of NLO chromophores as pendant groups were obtained by a polycondensation reaction using very mild conditions. The different polymer structures were designed with the objective to investigate the influence of both the polarity of the chromophore and the nature of the tether between the NLO chromophore and the chain. The resulting copolymers have glass transition temps. (Tg's) varying between 160° and 215°, and they are stable up to 280° under nitrogen. Although these copolymers are sol. in common org. solvents, cyclohexanone gave the best film quality and was used for the film prepn. After optimization of the poling conditions, the in situ second harmonic generation (SHG) measurements gave nonresonant values of the second-order susceptibilities d33 ranging from 2 to 8 pm/V, and the SHG signals of the poled polymer films were found to be thermally stable below 130°. Although being comparable with the values obtained for similar polymers and chromophores in the literature, d33 are smaller than those obtained for more conventional NLO polymers like PMMA-Disperse Red One (PMMA-DR1), which was taken as a ref. An unusual drop of the SHG signal during cooling was found in the thermally assisted orientation process. This drop occurred at a characteristic temp. below Tg. In this relaxation process which has never been obsd., intra- and interchain dipolar interactions are shown to play an important role, which is amplified in the case of chromophores which have their donor group embedded in the main chain, connected by two rigid tethers.

7. Synthesis of a fluorinated photoresist for optical waveguide devices By Fei, Xu; Wan, Ying; Zhang, Haiming; Cui, Zhanchen; Zhang, Daming From Applied Physics A: Materials Science & Processing (2009), 96(2), 467-472. Language: English, Database: CAPLUS, DOI:10.1007/s00339-009-5280-5

A linear fluorinated bis-phenol-A novolac resin (LFAR) for optical waveguide was synthesized based on 4,4'-(hexafluoro-isopropylidene)diphenol, epoxy chloropropane and formaldehyde. Neg. fluorinated photoresist (FP) was made by composing the LFAR, di-Ph iodonium salt and solvent. The film, which was made by spin-coating FP, had good UV light lithograph sensitivity, large hardness and high glass transition temp. (Tg >170°, after crosslinking). Low-loss optical waveguides with very smooth top surface were fabricated from the resulting FP by direct UV exposure and chem. development. For waveguides without upper cladding, the propagation loss of the channel waveguides was measured to be 0.21 dB/cm at 1550 nm.

8. A simple approach toward low-dielectric polyimide nanocomposites: blending the polyimide precursor with a fluorinated polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane By Ye, Yun-Sheng; Yen, Ying-Chieh; Chen, Wen-Yi; Cheng, Chih-Chia; Chang, Feng-Chih From Journal of Polymer Science, Part A: Polymer Chemistry (2008), 46(18), 6296-6304. Language: English, Database: CAPLUS, DOI:10.1002/pola.22939

Pyromellitic dianhydride-4,4'-oxydianiline polyimide (PMDA-ODA) nanocomposites with low dielec. const. and good thermal properties were prepd. by blending the polyimide precursor with fluorinated polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane, octakis(dimethylsiloxy-hexafluoropropyl) silsesquioxane (OF). The low polarizability of OF is compatible with polyimide matrix, such that it can improve the dispersion and free vol. of the resulting composites. Together, the higher free vol. and lower polarizability of OF are responsible for the lower dielec. const. of the PI-OF nanocomposites. This simple method for enhancing the properties of polyimides has applicability in the electronics industry.

9. Fabrication and structural analysis of aromatic polyimide ultra-thin films with different fluorine contents By Kang, Yun Ji; Kim, Hwajeong; Kim, Eunju; Kim, Il; Ha, Chang-Sik From Colloids and Surfaces, A: Physicochemical and Engineering Aspects (2008), 313+314, 585-589. Language: English, Database: CAPLUS, DOI:10.1016/j.colsurfa.2007.05.048

The structural characterizations of arom. polyimide (PI) ultra-thin films with different fluorine contents were studied. Three types of polyamic acid (PAA) were produced from polymn. of biphenyl dianhydride (BPDA)/4,4'-oxydianiline (ODA), BPDA/2,2'-bis(trifluromethyl)benzidine (TFDB), and 4,4'-(hexafluoro isopropylidene)-diphthalic anhydride (6FDA)/TFDB in N,N-dimethylacetamide (DMAc). Polyamic acid alkyl salts (PAAS) using O,O',O-trihexadecanoyl-triethanolamine were transferred onto a Si-wafer substrate to prep. Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) films. The behaviors of PAAS monolayers at the air/water interface were confirmed with π-A isotherms and Brewster Angle Microscopy (BAM) images. The behaviors of PAAS monolayers at the air/water interface depend on the fluorine contents. As there is more fluorine in the main chain of PAAS, the area per mol. of each monolayer was increased. The structure of PAAS LB films with 10, 20, 30, and 40 layers on a substrate were investigated by UV-vis spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray reflectivity, and IR spectroscopy. The obtained PAAS LB films were imidized with a thermal treatment at 300°. The imidization of PI ultra-thin film was identified by IR spectrum. At. force microscopy (AFM) images showed that the particle size of PI ultra-thin films on a Si-wafer were about 7-25 nm.

10. New side-chain fluorinated copolymers for quadratic non linear optics By Aljoumaa, Khaled; Ishow, Elena; Ding, Jianfu; Qi, Yinghua; Day, Michael; Delaire, Jacques A. From Nonlinear Optics, Quantum Optics (2006), 35(1-3), 83-93. Language: English, Database: CAPLUS

Highly fluorinated poly(arylene ether ketone)s and poly(arylene ether sulfone)s contg. efficient second order NLO chromophores covalently linked as side-chain groups were synthesized using a polycondensation reaction. The glass transition temps. of these copolymers were found between 163°C and 197°C. Second Harmonic Generation (SHG) coeffs. (d33) of the poled polymer films (corona poling, voltage 5 kV) reached values of about 14 pm·V-1 at 1907 nm fundamental wavelength. No appreciable decay of the SHG signal was obsd. below 130°C. These new copolymers allow a compromise to be reached between high transparency at telecommunication wavelengths (assocd. with the replacement of most of CH bonds by CF bonds), good SHG efficiency and acceptable thermal stability of the dipole orientation.

11. Cross-linkable highly halogenated poly(arylene ether ketone/sulfone)s with tunable refractive index: Synthesis, characterization and optical properties By Qi, Yinghua; Ding, Jianfu; Day, Michael; Jiang, Jia; Callender, Claire L. From Polymer (2006), 47(25), 8263-8271. Language: English, Database: CAPLUS, DOI:10.1016/j.polymer.2006.09.065

A series of novel cross-linkable, highly halogenated poly(arylene ether ketone)s (HPAEKs) and poly(arylene ether sulfone)s (HPAESs) with different bromine contents have been designed and prepd. by polycondensation reactions for use as optical waveguide materials. The method used for their prepn. involved reacting decafluorodiphenyl ketone/sulfone (DFPK/DFPS) with a mixt. of 4,4'-isopropylidene bis(2,6-dibromophenol) (4Br-BPA), 4,4'-(hexafluoroisopropylidene)diphenol (6F-BPA), and 1,1-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)ethyl-1-Ph 2,3,5,6-tetrafluorostyryl ether (BHPFS). The feed ratio of 4Br-BPA to the total bisphenols varied from 0 to 80 mol.%, while that of BHPFS remained at 20% for all polymers. The resulting polymers have excellent soly. in most common org. solvents such as THF, cyclohexanone and N,N-dimethylacetamide (DMAc) and can be easily cast into optical-quality thin films. A high glass transition temp. in the range of 164-206 °C was found for these polymers, which could be further increased by about 20 °C upon thermal or photochem. crosslinking. Slab and channel waveguides have been prepd. from these polymers. All of them exhibited low optical loss (0.4-0.6 dB/cm) at the telecommunication wavelength of 1550 nm. Due to the relatively higher polarizability of the C-Br bond than that of the C-H bond, an increase in the refractive index was obsd. as the bromine content in the polymers increased. Consequently, the refractive index of HPAEKs and HPAESs can be readily adjusted within a wide range from 1.51 to 1.57 by simply changing the ratio of the bromine-contg. bisphenol in the feed. This variability, along with the excellent crosslinking capability, allows these polymers to be used as both the core and the cladding materials for the waveguide device fabrication and provides a greater flexibility in the design of device structures.

12. Synthesis and properties of low-dielectric-constant polyimides with introduced reactive fluorine polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanes By Ye, Yun-Sheng; Chen, Wen-Yi; Wang, Yen-Zen From Journal of Polymer Science, Part A: Polymer Chemistry (2006), 44(18), 5391-5402. Language: English, Database: CAPLUS, DOI:10.1002/pola.21650

A high-performance, low-dielec.-const. polyimide (PI) nanocomposite from poly(amic acid) (PAA) cured with a reactive fluorine polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) isomer was successfully synthesized. The features of this reactive fluorine POSS isomer [octakis(dimethylsiloxyhexafluoropropylglycidyl ether)silsesquioxane (OFG)] provided two important approaches (contg. fluorine or being porous in the polymer matrix) of reducing the dielec. const. of PI. This reactive POSS isomer had an av. of four epoxy groups and four fluorine groups on the POSS cage, and the epoxy groups could be cured with PAA to form a network framework of a PI/POSS nanocomposite. The PI/OFG nanocomposite had a high crosslinking d., high porosity (24.3%), high hydrophobicity, and low polarizability. These properties enhanced the thermal (glass-transition temp. ∼ 362 °C) and dielec. (dielec. const. ∼2.30) properties of PI more than other POSS derivs. introduced into the PI backbone. A large no. of small POSS particles (<10 nm) were embedded inside the PI matrix when the OFG content was low, whereas interconnected POSS aggregation domains were obsd. when the OFG content was high.

13. Nanofilms and the emerging nanotechnology By Onah, Ejembi J. From ACS Symposium Series (2006), 918(Polymeric Nanofibers), 384-398. Language: English, Database: CAPLUS, DOI:10.1021/bk-2006-0918.ch027

Nanofilms or nanofiber of fluorine contg. polymers hold a central position in the emerging nanotechnol. because of their unique properties such as low permittivity, low friction, thermal stability, high resistance to chem. attacks esp. oxidn. The important areas where fluorine contg. polymer films hold a lot of promise are biomedical applications, resist technol. in photo and radiation lithogs. as well as insulators or dielecs. in the emerging field of nanoelectronics. Fluorine contg. polymers, specifically fluoropolyimides, fluoropolyamic acids, and fluoropolyacrylates have been synthesized and their soly. in wide range of solvents was established. Their Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) monolayers (polymer as film on the water surface or single mols. arranged on the substrate) and their ultrathin films (monolayers deposited on the substrate as thin films in nanometer range) have been fabricated. Techniques like AFM, surface plasmon resonance (SPR), and dielec. spectroscopy have been used to obtain the surface morphol., film thickness and dielec. const. The dielec. const. of 1.5 was measured for polyimide and it is the lowest const. so far reported in the published literature.

14. Effects of O2 and N2 plasma treatment on 6FDA-BisAAF fluorine-contained polyimide By Yang, Ching-Yu; Chen, J. S.; Hsu, Steve Lien-Chung From Journal of the Electrochemical Society (2006), 153(6), F120-F125. Language: English, Database: CAPLUS, DOI:10.1149/1.2193402

In this work, surface modification of 6FDA-BisAAF fluorine-contained polyimide by O2 or N2 plasma was carried out and material characteristics of the surfaces after plasma treatment were investigated. XPS anal. reveals that O2 plasma reacts with carbon atoms in the polyimide structure to form C-O bonding on the surface and destroys the polymer structure. Reactions between nitrogen and fluorine are thermodynamically favorable during the N2 plasma treatment and result in a significant defluorination on the surface and an increase of water absorption. The polyimides, with or without plasma treatment, were made into a metal-insulator-silicon structure to investigate its current leakage characteristics. From the current-voltage (I-V) measurement, the N2 plasma treated sample reveals a greater leakage current than that of the untreated and O2 plasma treated sample. The unstable bonds created by the N2 plasma treatment may adsorb more H2O mols. and degraded elec. characteristics.

15. In situ second harmonic generation measurements of poled fluorinated polymer films By Aljoumaa, Khaled; Ishow, Elena; Ding, Jianfu; Qi, Yinghua; Day, Michael; Delaire, Jacques A. From Proceedings of SPIE-The International Society for Optical Engineering (2006), 6192(Organic Optoelectronics and Photonics II), 619214/1-619214/9. Language: English, Database: CAPLUS, DOI:10.1117/12.662834

New fluorinated poly(arylene ether sulfone)s (FPAES) and poly (arylene ether ketone)s (FPAEK) with two types of NLO chromophores as pendant groups were obtained by a polycondensation reaction carried out using very mild reaction conditions. The glass transition temp. (Tg) of these copolymers is between 168 and 190°C. The SHG intensity was measured during thermal corona poling : the dipole orientation starts at 100°C, and reaches a max. at 160°C, which is lower than Tg. During cooling of the film under the applied elec. field, we obsd. an unusual drop of the SHG intensity starting at 120°C and reaching 70 % of the max. value. The phys. origin of this drop has been investigated and is possibly attributable to a secondary phase transition of the copolymers. Despite this decrease, d33 coeffs. measured after poling vary between 2 and 15 pm/V at 1907 nm fundamental wavelength, depending on the first hyperpolarizability of the NLO chromophore. The dipole orientation of all these copolymers is very stable provided the temp. of the films is kept below the temp. threshold of 120°C, which is below the Tg of the polymers.

16. Investigation of the role of perfluoromethyl structure in fluorine-containing polyimides during different plasma modification By Yang, Ching-Yu; Hsu, Steve Lien-Chung; Chen, J. S. From PMSE Preprints (2006), 94, 244-245. Language: English, Database: CAPLUS

In this work, four kinds of polyimides, with and without perfluoromethyl side groups, were synthesized from 6FDA, 3,3',4,4'-biphenyltetracarboxylic dianhydride (BPDA) and 2,2-bis(4-aminophenyl)hexafluoropropane (BisAAF), p-phenylenediamine (PPD). Properties such as compn., thermal decompn. temp., surface bonding states, gas desorption behavior, and elec. properties were investigated using elemental anal., Fourier transform IR spectrometry (FTIR), thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA), XPS, thermal desorption spectroscopy (TDS) current-voltage (I-V) and capacitance-voltage (C-V) measurements. From the results of the TGA anal., the decompn. temp. is with the sequence of BPDA-PPD > BPDA-BisAAF > 6FDA-PPD > 6FDA-BisAAF. The fragments of these polyimides during thermal degrdn. are measured by TDS anal. The effects of perfluoromethyl structure in dianhydride and diamine are also discussed. The elec. properties of these polyimides after plasma treatment are also investigated. Relationships between plasma treatment and polyimide structure and surface bonding configuration are discussed.

17. Synthesis and characterization of copolymers based on styrene and partially fluorinated acrylates By Saidi, Salima; Guittard, Frederic; Guimon, Claude; Geribaldi, Serge From European Polymer Journal (2006), 42(3), 702-710. Language: English, Database: CAPLUS, DOI:10.1016/j.eurpolymj.2005.09.012

Copolymers of styrene and fluorinated acrylate monomers with F-octylalkyl, F(CF2)8(CH2)n, side groups were prepd. by free radical polymn. Thermal behavior of the resulting polymers was investigated by DSC and TGA. Even if at the macroscopic scale the polymers surfaces are homogeneous and clear, the anal. indicates that all samples exhibit two glass transitions temps. This discontinuity may be regarded as an indication for microphase sepn. of fluorine-rich and polystyrene-rich microphases. Water and hexadecane contact angles measurements show that these polymers are quite surface active in the solid state. Surface and bulk organizations were investigated by XPS anal. A strong correlation between bulk organization and surface properties of the polymers could be established. Preferential adsorption of fluorinated segments at the material surface were more pronounced than expected in the bulk.

18. Morphology and microstructure of core-shell hybrid latexes containing fluoropolymer and acrylic copolymer By Chen, Su; Yan, Weicai; Chen, Li; Chen, Yongjun; Xu, Nanping From Colloid and Polymer Science (2006), 284(4), 413-421. Language: English, Database: CAPLUS, DOI:10.1007/s00396-005-1404-4

Novel core-shell hybrid latex composed by two immiscible polymers has been prepd. For the first time, we utilized fluoropolymer (FKM-40) as the core while polyacrylates as the shell in this latex, leading two immiscible components mixable under micro-mol. scale. To det. the chem. structure, in particular the miscibility between the core and the shell in this hybrid, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), attenuated total reflection Fourier transform IR (ATR-FTIR) spectroscopy, and FTIR imaging have been performed. All expts. indicate that FKM-40 mixed well with polyacrylates, particularly FTIR image demonstrated unambiguously that FKM-40 dispersed, under micro-mol. scale, in continuous polyacrylates at a concn. of 20%. Further morphol. (X-ray diffraction) investigations suggest that the hybrid latex had a less cryst. domain for samples with a lower concn. of FKM-40. Interestingly, we found that the water contact angle and the water absorption of the core-shell hybrid can be readily adjustable by varying the proportion of each species during copolymn. Finally it is worth mentioning that the core-shell methodol. as demonstrated herein is superior to phys. blending with regard to its capability of achieving copolymer system under micro-mol. miscibility.

19. Langmuir-Blodgett Films of Preformed Polymers Containing Biphenyl Groups By Davis, Frank; Hodge, Philip; Tredgold, Richard H.; Ali-Adib, Ziad From Langmuir (2005), 21(20), 9199-9205. Language: English, Database: CAPLUS, DOI:10.1021/la051011e

	Polymers contg. maleic anhydride and biphenyl liq. crystal groups were prepd. and the structure of mono- and multilayers was studied.  Polysulfone materials having the biphenyl mesogenic group were also studied.  The polymers gave steep isotherms with high collapse pressure, indicating good packing of the monolayers, and could be deposited to form thick LB multilayers.  X-ray diffraction showed that an ordered multilayer was formed, and the effects of chem. compn. on the structure of the LB films were elucidated.  The dominant factor in monolayer structure is the nature of the polymer backbone rather than that of the liq. crystal side chains.

20. Photofabrication of surface relief gratings from azobenzene containing perfluorocyclobutane aryl ether polymer By Chun, Chaemin; Ghim, Jieun; Kim, Mi-Jeong; Kim, Dong Yu From Journal of Polymer Science, Part A: Polymer Chemistry (2005), 43(16), 3525-3532. Language: English, Database: CAPLUS, DOI:10.1002/pola.20812

An azobenzene based perfluorocyclobutane (PFCB) aryl ether polymer, poly[4-(phenylazo)triphenylamine-1,2-hexafluorocyclobutyl ether], was synthesized by Pd catalyzed amination and the 2π + 2π cyclodimerization of 4-[(trifluorovinyl)oxy]bromobenzene. The polymer was designed and synthesized to incorporate azo chromophores into the structure to effect photoinduced dynamic response of PFCB. The polymer exhibited Tg of about 122° and max. absorption of the azo chromophores at 407 nm. A thin film was prepd. through spin coating and a fast increase of diffraction efficiency was achieved by irradn. with an interference beam. The efficient formation of holog. surface relief gratings was verified from AFM images, which show regularly defined and aligned grating structures.

21. Fluorine-containing polymers and the emerging nanotechnology By Onah, Ejembi John From Polymer News (2005), 30(3), 79-84. Language: English, Database: CAPLUS

Fluorine-contg. polymers, because of their unique properties, including: low permittivity, low friction, thermal stability, high resistance to chem. attack (esp. oxidn.), hold a central position in the emerging nanotechnol. Important areas where fluorine contg. polymers hold a lot of promise are: resist technol. in photo and radiation lithogs. as well as insulators in an emerging "nanoelectronics.". Fluorine-contg. polymers (specifically fluoropolyimide, fluoropolyamic acid, fluoroimide-amide and fluoropoly acrylates) have been synthesized. The polymers are sol. in a wide range of solvents. Their Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) monolayers and their ultrathin films have been fabricated. Techniques like AFM, surface plasmon resonance (SPR), reflection absorption IR spectroscopy (RAIR), and dielec. spectroscopy have been used to obtain the surface morphol., film thickness, orientation on the substrate, and dielec. const. The dielec. const. of 1.5 is the lowest so far reported according to my knowledge.

22. Cross-Linkable Highly Fluorinated Poly(Arylene Ether Ketones/Sulfones) for Optical Waveguiding Applications By Qi, Yinghua; Ding, Jianfu; Day, Michael; Jiang, Jia; Callender, Claire L. From Chemistry of Materials (2005), 17(3), 676-682. Language: English, Database: CAPLUS, DOI:10.1021/cm048587u

	Novel cross-linkable, highly fluorinated poly(arylene ether ketones/sulfones) have been prepd. by copolycondensation reactions of perfluorinated arom. ketone/sulfone with 4,4'-(hexafluoroisopropylidene)diphenol and a tetrafluorostyrol-contg. bisphenol (i.e., 1,1-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)ethyl-1-Ph 2,3,5,6-tetrafluorostyrol ether).  The reactions were conducted at low temp. in the presence of calcium hydride and cesium fluoride.  The resulting polymers have no.-av. mol. wts. in the range of 25,000-36,000, excellent solubilities in common org. solvents, high glass transition temps. (Tg) in the region of 150-185°, and good thermal stabilities (Td up to 480°).  Tough, flexible, and transparent thin films of these polymers can be readily prepd. by both soln. casting and spin-coating.  By adjusting the feed ratio of monomers, the refractive index and crosslinking d. of the polymers can be readily controlled.  Crosslinking of these polymers has been demonstrated by both thermal heating and UV irradn.  The cross-linked polymer thin films exhibit low optical loss (∼0.5 dB/cm) and low birefringence (∼2 × 10-3) at 1550 nm, demonstrating that they are promising candidates for optical waveguide materials.

This work refers to the synthesis of a new double hydrophilic thermo-responsive polymer using fatty acid macroperoxide initiator, N-iso-Pr acryl amide (NIPAM) and polyethylene glycol with two primary amine ends (PEGNH2). For this purpose, oleic acid was spread out onto a petri dish and exposed to air oxygen at room temp. for 2 mo. The obtained fatty acid macro-peroxide initiator was used in the free radical polymn. of NIPAM in the presence of PEGNH2. Poly oleic acid-g-PNIPAM-g-PEG graft copolymers were successfully obtained. Lower crit. soln. temp. (LCST) of the graft copolymer was detd. by using UV-Vis spectrometry with a sensible heating unit. Morphol. of the fractured surface of the double hydrophilic polymers was visualized by using SEM micrographs. Graft copolymers with LCST close to body temp. were obtained by changing PEG inclusion. Structural characterization, thermal anal. and size exclusion chromatog. measurements of the obtained products were done.

2. Synthesis, properties, and applications of hybrid polyurethane-urea obtained from air-oxidized soybean oil By Ourique, Pedro A.; Krindges, Israel; Aguzzoli, Cesar; Figueroa, Carlos A.; Amalvy, Javier; Wanke, Cesar H.; Bianchi, Otavio From Progress in Organic Coatings (2017), 108, 15-24. Language: English, Database: CAPLUS, DOI:10.1016/j.porgcoat.2017.04.002

This study explores the synthesis of hybrid polyurethane (PU)-urea obtained from air-oxidized soybean oil. The effect of the oxidn. time of the soybean oil on the prodn. of soy poliol and hybrid PU-urea films employing (3-aminopropyl) trimethoxysilane was investigated. Soybean polyols and hybrid PU-urea materials were characterized by various techniques such as 1H and 29Si NMR, Fourier transform IR spectroscopy (FTIR), gel-permeation chromatog. (GPC), gel content, SEM(SEM), wide-angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD), synchrotron small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), contact angle, and glow-discharge optical emission spectroscopy. Furthermore, the physicomech. properties of the materials were characterized and their corrosion resistance was detd. The produced ecofriendly materials exhibited a dependency of the hybrid network on the degree of gel content. The phase morphol. developed during the polymn. reaction influences the size of hard domains and their organization. This study provides a direct relation between the corrosion resistance and material hydrophobicity and the nature of the heterogeneity of the phase morphol. formed during one-step polymn. procedure.

3. Silylation of Non-Terminal Double Bonds of Natural Oils By Tambe, Chetan; Dewasthale, Sudhanwa; Shi, Xiangke; Graiver, Daniel; Narayan, Ramani From Silicon (2016), 8(1), 87-98. Language: English, Database: CAPLUS, DOI:10.1007/s12633-015-9299-2

Silylation of non-terminal double bonds of unsatd. fatty acids with reactive organosilicons was successfully accomplished using the 'Ene' reaction route. The 'Ene' reaction, which is a subset of the famous Diels Alder reaction, enables grafting of vinyl silanes onto unsatd. org. mols. irresp. of the position of the double bond. This procedure was used to graft vinyltrialkoxysilanes onto unsatd. fatty acids of various triglyceride oils. Me oleate and Me stearate were used as model compds. to investigate this reaction. 1H NMR and TGA were used to characterize the structure of the silylation products and to det. the extent of grafting as a function of reaction conditions. It was found that this grafting reaction follows a second order kinetics. Under extreme conditions a silyl-ester redistribution reaction can also occur where an alkoxy group attached to the silicon atom is exchanged with an alkoxy group of the org. ester. Grafting vinyltrimethoxysilane onto natural oils such as soybean, canola and Abyssinian oils leads to a convenient one-component, moisture activated cure system of these natural oils.

Synthesis and characterization of the polyols by air oxidation of soybean oil and its effect on the morphology and dynamic mechanical properties of poly(vinyl chloride) blends By Ourique, Pedro A.; Gril, Jerome M.

Language: English, Database: CAPLUS, DOI:10.1002/app.42102

The use of natural additives, with low toxicity and good compatibility, for PVC is becoming increasingly attractive. In this study, soybean oil additives were prepd. by air oxidn. reactions and blending with PVC. The oxidn. reaction produced a significant increase in the no. of hydroxyl groups in soybean oil; however, this kind of reaction results in the formation of a heterogeneous structure due to free radical reactions in the medium. The oxidized soybean oil improved the compatibility with PVC due to an increase in the no. of polar groups, such as hydroxyls, and thus a redn. in the amt. of atactic polymer was obsd. Furthermore, an increase in the mol. wt. of the oxidized oil, as well as large amts. of polar groups contributes to reducing the migration of oil in the PVC. Regarding the crystallinity of PVC, the use of pure and oxidized soybean oil causes small changes in the cryst. phase of the polymer. Oxidized soybean oil has great potential for usage as a secondary plasticizer for PVC. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym. Sci. 2015, 132, 42102.

A review. Vegetable oils (VO) constitute the single, largest, easily available, low cost, non-toxic, non-depletable, biodegradable family yielding materials that are capable of competing with fossil fuel derived petro-based products. The outstanding feature of VO is their unique chem. structure with to unsatn. sites, epoxies, hydroxyls, esters and other functional groups along with inherent fluidity characteristics. These enable them to undergo various chem. transformations producing low mol. wt. polymeric materials with versatile applications, particularly as chief ingredients in paints and coatings. In this manuscript, we have briefly described important VO derived materials such as alkyds, polyesteramides, polyetheramides, polyurethanes, epoxies, polyols, along with their prepn. and applications as protective coatings. A small portion of the review is also dedicated to the future perspectives in the field. Inspite of their extensive utilization in the world of coatings, literature survey revealed that in the past (from 1990s to date) no review has come up describing the chem. and applications of VO polymer based coating materials.

6. Soy in rubber for the automotive industry By Beyer, Laura D.; Flanigan, Cynthia M.; Klekamp, David; Rohweder, David From Gummi, Fasern, Kunststoffe (2013), 66(9), 595-602. Language: German, Database: CAPLUS

Elastomers play an important role in the automotive industry, as they are used in a wide range of applications ranging from power-train mounts to door seals to tires. Opportunities exist to improve the sustainability of rubber components by replacing a portion of the petroleum processing oil in rubber formulations with soy-based oils. Two case studies are presented, which demonstrate the potential for enhanced performance properties obtained by using soybean oil. In the first, 10 phr of paraffinic processing oil in EPDM formulations is replaced with soybean oil, epoxidized soybean oil and soy polyol of varying hydroxyl functionality. In the second case study, 10 phr of the naphthenic processing oil in SBR/BR compds. is replaced with soybean oil, epoxidized soybean oil, and soy polyol. The effects of the soy-based oils on cure kinetics, phys. and viscoelastic properties were examd.

7. Vegetable oil thermosets reinforced by tannin-lipid formulations By Luo, Chunhua; Grigsby, Warren J.; Edmonds, Neil R.; Al-Hakkak, Jafar From Acta Biomaterialia (2013), 9(2), 5226-5233. Language: English, Database: CAPLUS, DOI:10.1016/j.actbio.2012.08.048

Totally bio-based thermosetting polymers which are comparable to synthetic polyester thermosets have been prepd. from copolymn. of condensed tannin-fatty acid esters with vegetable oils. Oxidative copolymn. of tannin linoleate/acetate mixed esters with linseed oil and tung oil produced polymer films ranging from soft rubbers to rigid thermosets. Tannin incorporation into the formulations was essential for the final product to achieve necessary mech. strength. Films had ambient modulus values between 0.12 and 1.6 GPa, with glass transition temps. ranging from 32 to 72 °C and calcd. crosslink densities of 1020-57,700 mol m-3. Film stiffness, Tg and crosslink d. increase with greater tannin linoeate/acetate content due mainly to this tannin component providing rigidity through polyphenolic arom. rings and unsatd. chains as crosslinking sites.

8. Aging of biodegradable oils and assessment of their suitability for high voltage applications By Hosier, I. L.; Guushaa, A.; Westenbrink, E. W.; Rogers, C.; Vaughan, A. S.; Swingler, S. G. From IEEE Transactions on Dielectrics and Electrical Insulation (2011), 18(3), 728-738. Language: English, Database: CAPLUS, DOI:10.1109/TDEI.2011.5931059

In many items of high voltage plant, a mineral or synthetic oil is used in conjunction with paper as the dielec. medium. However, increasing awareness of the environmental impact of human activity and increasing disposal costs have encouraged researchers to direct their attention to renewable and biodegradable alternatives. Originally used in capacitors, vegetable oils are now finding widespread use in some transformer installations, particularly in the United States. Therefore, it seems prudent to begin systematic investigations of the aging behavior of a no. of vegetable based oils and assess their potential for application in high voltage systems. A total of five food grade vegetable oils, an oil specifically formulated for high voltage applications (Envirotemp FR3) and dodecylbenzene (DDB) were aged at various temps. in air. Their aging behavior was assessed by ultra-violet/visible, IR and dielec. spectroscopies supplemented with measurements of viscosity. It was found that olive oil offered excellent resistance to aging (comparable to Envirotemp oil), rapeseed oil offered intermediate properties whereas corn and sunflower oil oxidized appreciably after aging. Despite being more prone to oxidn., all the vegetable oils offered dielec. properties which were better than dodecylbenzene and similar to mineral oil.

9. Effect of vegetable-based polyols in unimodal glass-transition polyurethane slabstock viscoelastic foams and some guidance for the control of their structure-property behavior. I By Vaughan, Benjamin R.; Wilkes, Garth L.; Dounis, Dimitrios V.; McLaughlin, Cam From Journal of Applied Polymer Science (2011), 119(5), 2683-2697. Language: English, Database: CAPLUS, DOI:10.1002/app.32865

We studied the synthesis and structure-property behaviors of two types of vegetable-oil polyols (soy oil and castor oil) and their use in viscoelastic (VE) polyurethane foams (PUFs). This article is the first in a two-part series. In this initial part, we principally address the dynamic mech. anal. (DMA) behavior of these foams in conjunction with information on the cellular morphol., sol fraction, and rise and reaction temp. profile behavior (the latter two parameters were detd. during the foaming process). Particular emphasis is placed on the DMA damping characteristics, which represent one of the most crit. parameters in the application of VE PUFs. The damping characteristics could be modified in such foams by the variation of the isocyanate/hydroxyl (×100) index, the addn. of plasticizer, and in the case of soy polyols, the soy content. The frequency dependence of the VE PUFs is also briefly addressed. In the second article in this series, which directly follows this article, we further address the details of other relevant phys. properties of these same foams in view of their applied nature.

A review. Plant oils are already one of the most important platform chems. for the chem. industry due to its universal availability, inherent biodegradability, and low price. Nowadays, plant oils are already a com. source of multifunctional monomers and oligomers for polyurethane synthesis, and the design of novel biobased polyols derived from them is an active area of research. By taking advantage of the wide variety of possibilities for chem. modification of plant oils, there is a broad palette of strategies to functionalize its structure with hydroxyl groups. The purpose of this review is to comprehensively overview recent developments on the prepn. of biobased polyols from plant oils.

Hi Tunumiah. According to your talk page, User:Tunumiah/sandbox was declined for publication, and deleted, for being promotional. Wikipedia is not for advertising, marketing, or public relations. I suggest you write about a different subject, one that you have no stake in; Wikipedia has more than five million to choose from, nearly all of which could be improved. --Worldbruce (talk) 15:26, 13 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
