In the chemical
reaction given above, 100% butyralization
cannot take place.
According to P.J.Flory, the maximum butyralization
degree expected is 81.6 mol %, or 86.47 wt
%.
Therefore, a considerable amount of hydroxyl
is left behind in S-LEC B/K.
Also, when saponifcation occurs (the PVA manufacturing
process), a small amount of acetyl is behind.
Therefore, the chemical structural formula
of S-LEC B/K is as shown below.
The physical and
chemical properties of S-LEC B/K will differ
depending upon the ratio of the elements shown
n the formula,
and the degree of polymerization greatly influences
its thermal and mechanical characteristics.
And the viscosity of solution. |
