    Notes: Lignocellulosic plant materials were treated with various swelling agents and exposed to γ radiation from 60Co or 137Cs. At dosages of 50 Mrad or above, lignocellulosic materials were extensively degraded and solubilized in water. Addition of water, NaOH, or H2SO4 to the substrate increased the degree of solubilization. Complete solubilization was achieved for samples of sugarcane bagasse, newspaper, cotton linters, cotton cloth, sawdust, and α-cellulose powder. About 35% total sugar and 5% reducing sugar per dry weight of sugarcane bagasse could be obtained by this method. Most of the soluble carbohydrates seemed to be disaccharides or larger molecules and glucose degradation products. Solubilization of cellulose was dosage dependent and although the rate of solubilization was increased by adding alkali, released sugar was further decomposed by the alkali and by high dosage of radiation.

    Notes: Efforts to remove traces of monomers contained in polymers by stripping with steam have resulted in reports that a small concentration of monomer is inextractable, or “locked-in,” the polymer. Any concomitant depolymerization to monomer and diffusive elution of the formed monomer would, in the steady state, result in a constant concentration of monomer within the confines of the polymer. If only the polymer phase were sampled and depolymerization were ignored, this result could be interpreted as an apparent “zero migration” level of monomer. A model that describes the coupled processes of depolymerization and diffusion is presented; predictions and estimates of an apparent “zero-migration” concentration are offered for various polymer/monomer systems considering a variety of kinetic schemes. The effects of temperature, geometry, and sample size on the transient and apparent steady-state, residual-weight fraction of monomer in the polymer are considered. Also, the weight fraction of monomer, neglecting diffusive elution, is estimated for comparison with the steady-state weight fractions calculated for the case in which diffusive elution significantly lowers the residual steady-state monomer level. The results predicted by the model presented are compared with experimental data reported in the literature. Transient approaches to the steady state are included in the model analysis. The steady-state monomer concentrations predicted for polystyrene and poly(acrylonitrile) at 100°C vary from 0.0001 ppm to 100 ppm as the diameter of the respective polymeric spheres varies between 0.5 μ and 500 μ. The predicted steady-state concentrations for vinyl chloride monomer in poly(vinyl chloride) are, under comparable conditions, seven orders of magnitude lower, reflecting the extraordinarily small tendency of polyvinyl chloride to degrade to monomer.

    Notes: A scheme for lysine biosynthesis using variants of the Brevibacterium flavum intermediary metabolite synthesis is discussed. The main precursor of lysine that we are concerned with here is oxalacetate, which can be synthesized through the TCA or glyoxylate cycles or by carboxylation of PEP. Material energy balances for the main pathways of lysine biosynthesis from glucose and acetate have been formulated. Energy consumption, in the from of ATP - PATP (number of mol ATP consumed/1 mol lysine synthesized), was calculated for the main pathways of lysine biosynthesis. Theoretical conversion yields Ypmax (g product/g substrate) were estimated. Experimental data were presented concerning the increase of Yp by means of metabolism regulation: (a) by TCA-and glyoxylate-cycle enzyme induction; (b) by maintaining PEP carboxylase activity; (c) by eliminating by-product synthesis.

    Notes: This study was carried out to define how the overall rate of reaction would be influenced by different degrees of diffusional resistance to cofactor transport within an oxidoreductase membrane matrix. To accomplish this, 0.7-6.6μM yeast alcohol dehydrogenase was immobilized in an albumin matrix crosslinked with 2.5 or 5.0% glutaraldehyde to give 102-1685 μM thick membranes. The enzyme half-life was at least doubled at pH 7.5 or 8.8 on immobilization. Values of the kinetic constants for the soluble and immobilized enzyme were determined at 25°C and pH 8.8 over the range of 0.01-1.0M bulk solution concentration of ethanol as substrate and 140-1000μM bulk solution concentration of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) as cofactor, to give essentially single substrate kinetics in NAD+. Equilibrium partitioning of ethanol and NAD+ between the solution and membrane was measured and used in the data analysis. The four kinetic constants for the soluble enzyme agreed with literature values; and all increased with immobilization of the enzyme. The Michaelis constants for NAD+ and for ethanol were greater for the immobilized enzyme. The diffusional resistance to NAD+ transport, presented in terms of the Thiele modulus, showed that the overall rate of reaction was decreased by about 50% even at values of the modulus as low as 2.0.

    Notes: To be efficacious as an x-ray resist, a material must efficiently undergo a desirable chemical change upon being irradiated with x-rays. The probability of such a change taking place is given by the product of the fractional x-ray absorption and the “inherent sensitivity,” which we define as the yield per unit energy absorbed. Increasing the absorption of the polymer, as, for example, by chlorinating an olefin sulfone thereby increasing the absorption at wavelengths just below the chlorine absorption edge will result in improved usefulness if, and only if, this increased energy absorbed can be used by the polymer to enhance the desired chemical reaction. The “usefulness” of chlorinating is thus dependent on the efficiency of intramolecular energy transfer. We have studied the efficiency of this transfer by monitoring the loss of SO2 from the main-chain backbone as a function of absorbed x-ray energy, using x-ray wavelengths both abov and below the chlorine absorption edge. The polymers studied were 1-olefin sulfones, with and without the chlorine atom in the ω-position. Through the use of this series of polymers it was hoped to observe an effect due to the changing separation of the chlorine atom from the backbone. The experiments indicate that (a) the inherent sensitivity is independent of irradiating wavelength, for both the chlorine-containing and the non-chlorine-containing polymers; (b) the hexene polymers are considerably more sensitive than the lower members of the series (which exhibit a sensitivity which is approximately independent of the side chain length); and (c) the chlorine-containing polymers are less sensitive than the non-chlorine-containing species. At this time the explanation for these observations is speculative.

    Notes: A sudden reduction in the feed temperature to a packed-bed reactor leads to a transient temperature rise, which is referred to as the wrong-way behavior. A pseudo-homogeneous plug-flow model is used to analyze the structure of this transient behavior. The key parameters which determine the magnitude of this response are the dimensionless adiabatic temperature rise, activation energy, heat transfer capacity, coolant temperature, magnitude of temperature drop and length of the reactor. A simple expression is derived for predicing the maximum transient temperature rise.

    Notes: Wood pulp fibers possess strength and modulus properties which compare favorably with glass fibers when the differences in fiber densities are considered. Softwood pulp fibers with fiber aspect ratios near 100 are readily dispersed into high-density polyethylene or isotactic polypropylene with the aid of carboxyic dispersing agents to form mixtures containing 50 weight-percent wood pulp which can be readily injection molded. The mechanical properties of the molded specimens were similar for all types of pulp including Kraft (bleached and unbleached), mechanical and chemical-mechanical pulps, waste pulps, and reclaim newspapers. Comparisons of the stiffness/weight efficiencies revealed that pulp composites equal or exceed the stiffness of most traditional materials of construction including steel, aluminum, glass-fiber composites, and talefilled polyolefins, while retaining a major material cost advantage. The measured strength values of the pulp composites were less than the theoretically predicted values due to the presence of voids created by the formation of volatiles during processing. Mechanical pulps which were available in dry form were preferred because of lower cost and ease of handling. Wood fibers are non-abrasive so that relatively large concentrations may be incorporated into polyolefins without causing serious machine wear during mixing and fabrication.

    Notes: Weld regions are formed wherever polymer flow fronts meet. The present study examines the effects of melt temperature, mold temperature, mold cooling conditions, injection speed and annealing on the tensile properties and morphological structure of weld regions in four commercially available polypropylene resins. One of the resins contained nucleation particles. Scanning electron micrographs of the weld region revealed a wide range of morphologies from very strong welds which formed part of a stable neck to brittle failures at low elongation caused by the presence of large nucleation particles in the weld region. The melt temperature, mold temperature, and annealing had the greatest effect on the weld region's tensile properties.
