    Notes: This work describes the investigation of the space organization of DNA compact forms and DNA-protein complexes by the small-angle x-ray scattering method. A plane texture was disclosed in dehydrated DNP films. Compact DNA particles formed in the presence of poly(ethylene glycol) reveal ordered structures having a periodicity of 84 Å. Various morphological forms of crystals of CTA-DNA were used to obtain small-angle x-ray patterns of the single-crystal type.

    Notes: The plasma polymers prepared from perfluorocyclohexa-1,3-diene, perfluorocyclohexa-1,4-diene, and perfluorocyclohexene have been investigated by ESCA. The carbon-to-fluorine stoichiometries of the diene-derived polymers are similar and close to that of the starting material. The polymer prepared from perfluorocyclohexene is depleted in fluorine compared to the fluorine content of the “monomer.” The polymers prepared in nonglow regions are also studied and shown to be high in CF2 derived species. The results are compared with those for perfluorobenzene and perfluorocyclohexane, and the polymerization rates are in the order C6F6 〉 C6F8 1,3 ∼ 1,4 〉 C6F10 ∼ C6F12. The variations in composition of the plasma polymer as revealed by ESCA as a function of the polymerization conditions are discussed.

    Notes: Polypropylene (PP) and polyethylene (PE) peroxy radicals undergo photoreactions, but under commonly encountered photodegradation conditions these reaction rates are much lower than those of conventional radical reactions; for example, for PP peroxy radicals in noon summer sunlight at 25°C their rate of photolysis to alkyl radicals is less than one-tenth of their rate of hydrogen abstraction from the polymer. At lower temperatures( 〈 -10°C) or when more intense radiation is used, however, peroxy radical photolysis becomes a proportionately more important source of alkyl radicals. In addition, occurrence of photoinduced radical combination is confirmed but is shown to be important only when photolysis generates an alkyl radical sufficiently close to a peroxy radical that termination can occur before oxygen reconverts the alkyl radical to a peroxy radical. This termination mechanism therefore becomes more important for radicals generated at lower temperatures when the average separation of a radical pair is lower.

    Notes: An experimental investigation was conducted to relate the average number of radicals per particle, n̄ to the dimensionless parameter α, as suggested by Stockmayer. Seed emulsion polymerizations of polystyrene were run over a wide range of particle sizes and initiator levels in the 50-70°C temperature range. The seed polymerization technique removed the question of particle formation behavior and allowed a straightforward determination of n̄. Alpha was varied more than three orders of magnitude and resulted in measured values of n̄ in the range 0.5-1.3. These data are in good agreement with Stockmayer's relationship as long as the value of the termination rate constant is taken at the monomer/polymer ratios found in emulsion polymerization. For polystyrene at a monomer/polymer ratio of 60/40 this value is an order of magnitude lower than that found for infinitely dilute polystyrene solutions.

    Notes: The plasma polymers formed in glow and nonglow regions of an inductively coupled RF plasma with perfluorobenzene and perfluorocyclohexane are discussed as a function of operating conditions of the plasma by means of ESCA. The core levels of the plasma polymers are shown to be strikingly different but characteristic of a well-defined but complex polymerization scheme. For the nonglow regions fluorine incorporation is shown to be greater than for polymers prepared in the glow regions and a preponderance of CF2 features is apparent. Perfluorobenzene deposits polymer faster than perfluorocyclohexane and changes in component composition of the C1s profile are studied as a function of operating conditions of the gas plasma.

    Notes: Several reports have suggested that the nervous system can be affected by exposure to electric fields and that these effects may have detrimental health consequences for the exposed organism. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of chronic (30-day) exposure of rats to a 60-Hz, 100-kV/m electric field on synaptic transmission and peripheral-nerve function. One hundred forty-four rats, housed in individual polycarbonate cages were exposed to uniform, vertical, 60-Hz electric fields in a system free of corona discharge and ozone formation and in which the animals did not receive spark discharges or other shocks during exposure. Following 30 days of exposure to the electric field, superior cervical sympathetic ganglia, vagus and sciatic nerves were removed from rats anesthetized with urethan, placed in a temperature-controlled chamber, and superfused with a modified mammalian Ringer's solution equilibrated with 95% O2 and 5% CO2. Several measures and tests were used to characterize synaptic transmission and peripheral-nerve function. These included amplitude, area, and configuration of the postsynaptic or whole-nerve compound-action potential; conduction velocity; accommodation; refractory period; strength-duration curves; conditioning-test (C-T) response, frequency response; post-tetanic response; and high-frequency-induced fatigue. The results of a series of neurophysiologic tests and measurements indicate that only synaptic transmission is significantly and consistently affected by chronic (30-day) exposure to a 60-Hz, 100-kV/m electric field. Specifically, an increase in synaptic excitability was detected in replicated measurements of the C-T response ratio. In addition, there are trends in other data that can be interpreted to suggest a generalized increase in neuronal excitability in exposed animals.

    Notes: Recently, it has been reported that exposure to high-strength electric fields can influence electrocardiogram (ECG) patterns, heart rates, and blood pressures in various species of animals. Our studies were designed to evaluate these reported effects and to help clarify some of the disagreement present in the literature. Various cardiovascular variables were measured in Sprague-Dawley rats exposed or sham-exposed to 60-Hz electric fields at 80 or 100 kV/m for periods up to four months. No significant differences in heart rates, ECG patterns, blood pressures, or vascular reactivity were observed between exposed and sham-exposed rats after 8 hours, 40 hours, 1 month, or 4 months of exposure. Blood pressure and heart rate measurements, made during exposure to a 100-kV/m electric field for one hour, revealed no significant differences between exposed and sham-exposed groups. In addition, physiologic reserve capacity, measured in rats subjected to low temperature after exposure to 100 kV/m for one month, showed that electric-field exposure had no significant effect on physiological response to cold stress. Our studies cannot be directly compared to the work of other investigators because of differences in animal species and electric-field characteristics. However, our failure to detect any cardiovascular changes may have been the result of 1) eliminating secondary field effects such as shocks, audible noise, corona, and ozone; 2) minimizing steady-state microcurrents between the mouth of the animal and watering devices; and 3) minimizing electric-field-induced vibration of the electrodes and animal cages.

    Notes: In light of novel and problematic diffraction patterns arising through the thermoreversible gelation of isotactic polystyrene, the conformational possibilities were examined with particular reference to other conformational works published recently on this polymer. The specific objective was to ascertain whether highly extended, helical backbone geometries such as are required by the new x-ray patterns are possible or not with a purely isotactic arrangement of side groups. The first realization was that the recently announced low-energy, near-trans conformations are not relevant to the present issue as they do not provide the required extended geometry. Further, specific sampling of the conformational energy map revealed that the required high chain extension may be energetically feasible, contrary to traditional conceptions and to recent conformational calculations elsewhere. The divergences as regards the latter were traced to the specific choice of nonbonded atomic radii - all within generally accepted limits - which accordingly has a crucial effect even to the extent whether specific conformation types are forbidden or energetically stable. The implications this has for conformational analysis in general are being pointed out. While the novel crystal structure has not been solved, the present study at least eliminates the previously believed categoric objections to it being associated with isotactic chains and, beyond this, opens up new perspectives as regards conformational possibilities in polyolefins. The more general problems concerning the nature and origin of the gelation phenomenon nevertheless remain.

    Notes: The Raman spectra of 1,6-di-p-methoxybenzene-sulfonyloxy-2,4-hexadiyne (MBS) have been recorded during thermal polymerization. The spectra are similar to those of the related p-toluene-sulfonyloxy monomer but indicate a higher strain in the initially formed MBS polymer chains. Despite this similarity, the polymerization kinetics for the two monomers are markedly different. The polymerization behavior of MBS shows that the polymer chain initiation and propagation are practically independent of lattice strain. Possible causes for this independence are discussed.

    Notes: Homogeneous films comprised of mixtures of polystyrene and poly(vinyl methyl ether) can be obtained by evaporation from a ternary solution containing toluene as the solvent. Heterogeneous films result when the solvent is trichloroethylene. The possibility that a heterogeneous film cast from trichloroethylene can be transformed to a homogeneous one by physical means is a logical expectation when the polymer-polymer interaction is favorable, though as yet no comprehensive report has appeared in the literature. We have accomplished the transformation by increasing the temperature. Optical microscopy and glass transition experiments were employed to observe the effects.
