Preparation of EC/SL Plasticizer Mixtures

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
A binary EC/SL plasticiser was prepared from anhydrous ethylene carbonate (99%) and sulfolane (99%), both from Sigma Aldrich (St. Louis, MO, USA). The mass fraction of sulfolane (ω(SL)) in the EC/SL mixtures varied from 0 to 1 with an increment of 0.05–0.10. Since the melting points of ethylene carbonate and sulfolane are above room temperature (≈36 and ≈29 °C, respectively), they were heated until wholly melted (up to 40 °C for EC and up to 30 °C for SL). Then, the mixtures were stirred for 30 min using a magnetic stirrer and kept at room temperature for at least 24 h before use.

Preparation of EC-SL Plasticizer Mixtures

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
A binary EC–SL plasticizer was prepared from anhydrous ethylene carbonate (99%) and sulfolane (99%), both from Sigma Aldrich (St. Louis, MO, USA). The molecular and physicochemical characteristics of individual solvents together with the phase diagram of EC–SL binary system are presented in [7 (link),31 (link)]. The mass fraction of ethylene carbonate (ω(EC)) in the EC–SL mixtures varied from 0 to 1 with an increment of 0.1. Since the melting points of ethylene carbonate and sulfolane are above room temperature (≈ 36 and ≈ 29 °C, respectively), they were heated until wholly melted (up to 40 °C for EC and up to 30 °C for SL). Then, the mixtures were stirred for 30 min using a magnetic stirrer and kept at room temperature for at least 24 h before usage.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
