The observation is made that polymeric sulfur above the glass transition temperature is subject to two relaxation mechanisms, a "simple" molecular flow and bond interchange. The effects of these mechanisms on the viscoelastic properties are separated quantitatively, and their relative contributions to the shear viscosity are computed. The activation energies of each of the mechanisms are also determined, and it is shown that the molecular flow is subject to a WLF type temperature dependence, while that of the interchange mechanism is of the Arrhenius type. It is tentatively suggested that the chemical relaxation mechanism is of a radical nature, with homolytic chain scission predominating.
87phorus(II1) cyanide burn if heated in dry air. The compound is slightly soluble in chloroform, carbon disulfide, phosphorus(II1) chloride, and ether.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
