    Notes: The conductivity study results of lithium-doped sulfonated PBI, a conjugated rigid rod polymer, poly[(1,7-dihydrobenzo[1,2-d:4,5-d′]dimidazole-2,6-diyl)-2-(2-sulfo)-p-phenylene], derivatized with pendants of propane sulfonate Li+ ionomer are reported. The room-temperature DC four-probe conductivity parallel to the surface of cast films was as large as 8.3 × 10-3 S/cm. Similar measurements with an eight-probe configuration showed no difference between bulk and surface conductivity. The ionic nature of the conductivity was indicated by constant voltage depletion experiments and by secondary ion mass spectroscopy measurements of the residues near the electrodes. The DC two-probe conductivity measured transverse to the sample surface was three to four orders of magnitude smaller than longitudinal conductivity, while the AC two-probe conductivity was even less. Electron microscopy indicated that the films had a layered structure parallel to the surfaces. This structural anisotropy was confirmed by refractive index values obtained from wave-guide experiments and by wide angle X-ray scattering. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Ten new aromatic polyamides containing s-triazine rings in the main chain were synthesized by the low temperature interfacial polycondensation technique involving the reactions of each of the two s-triazine containing diacylchlorides, viz., 2,4-bis (4-chlorocarbonylphenoxy)-6-methoxy-s-triazine and 2,4-bis(3-chlorocarbonylphenoxy)-6-methoxy-s-triazine, with five aromatic diamines namely, 4,4′-bis(4-aminophenoxy)diphenyl sulfone, 4,4′-bis(3-aminophenoxy)diphenyl sulfone, 2,2-bis[4(4-aminophenoxy) phenyl] propane, 1,4 bis (4-amino-phenoxy) benzene, and 1,3-bis (4-aminophenoxy)benzene. The resulting polyamides were characterized by viscosity measurements, IR and 1H-NMR spectroscopy, solubility tests, x-ray diffraction, and thermogravimetry. The polyamides had inherent viscosities in the range of 0.16-1.06 dL/g in N,N-dimethylacetamide at 30°C. Most of the s-triazine containing polyamides dissolved readily at room temperature in polar solvents. Except for the polyamide PA-2, the polyamides did not lose weight below 350°C under a nitrogen atmosphere. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Polym Sci A: Polym Chem 35: 1077-1085, 1997

    Notes: A high-torque rheometer was used to facilitate the polycondensation of 4-[5-amino-6-hydroxybenzoxazol-2-yl]benzoic acid (ABA) with trimesic acid and 1,3,5,7-tetrakis(4-carboxylatophenyl)adamantane to yield two- and three-dimensional benzobisoxazole polymers, respectively. Although the resultant polymer dopes exhibited improved homogeneity compared to polymer dopes previously prepared in glassware, improved polymer solution viscosities were not achieved. Fibers spun from the two- and three-dimensional polymers did not show a significant increase in compressive strength compared to fibers of the linear or one-dimensional benzobisoxazole polymer derived from the homopolymerization of ABA. Morphological studies of the polymer fibers and films by wide-angle X-ray scattering and scanning electron microscopy strongly indicated more lateral disorder and a more isotropic character for the three-dimensional structures compared to the one-dimensional structures. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: The curing kinetics of a system containing 4,4′-diglycidyloxy-α-methylstilbene (DOMS) and different functionality amines, N-ethylaniline (NEA), aniline, benzenesulfonamide (BSA), and sulfanilamide (SAA), have been studied by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) under isothermal conditions. The phase transformations during curing of the systems have been monitored by a crosspolarized optical microscope equipped with a hot-stage and photo detector. It has been found that the growth of a nematic liquid crystal structure does not cause a discrepancy from the autocatalytic model for the reactions between aniline and epoxy. There is no liquid crystalline structure formed for the systems containing NEA or BSA, which follow the autocatalytic kinetic models within the temperature range of 120-150°C. For the curing reactions between DOMS and SAA, there is a big deviation from the autocatalytic model when the liquid crystals transfer from a nematic structure to a smectic structure. Unlike the usual decrease of reaction rate resulting from diffusion in a heterogeneous reaction, the reaction rate is enhanced. A modified kinetic model has been constructed for this reaction system by introducing a pseudoconcentration term caused from the liquid crystalline structure formation. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: The results of our studies show that liquid linear polysulfide polymers of an average molecular weight 4260-1030 g mol-1 can be obtained by the reaction of sodium tetrasulfide and 1,1′-[methylenebis(oxy)]-bis-[2-chloroethane] in the presence of 2.0-5.0 mol of hydrazine and at least 4.0 mol of sodium hydroxide/mol of hydrazine in a one-step procedure. The disulfide polymers in the form of sodium mercaptide are soluble in the supernatant liquid from which they are separated by acidification of the solution to a pH value of about 4. The average molecular weight and the content of sulfur in the obtained linear polymers were determined and their IR spectra were recorded. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: The free radical propagation rate coefficients of both Methyl Methacrylate (MMA) and Styrene (STY) have been measured using Pulsed-Laser Polymerization. The effect of solvents on the propagation rate coefficient, kp, is reported for several solvents, namely, bromobenzene, chlorobenzene, dimethyl sulphoxide, diethyl malonate, diethyl phthalate, benzonitrile, and benzyl alcohol, at 26.5°C. This preliminary data indicated that benzyl alcohol (BzA) had a large effect on the MMA propagation reaction. As earlier work indicated that N-methyl pyrrolidinone (NMP) would also have a large effect on the kp of MMA, Arrhenius parameters were evaluated for both MMA and STY at two different concentrations of monomer in BzA and NMP. BzA had a significant effect (at 95% confidence) increasing both the activation energy (Ea) and the preexponential factor (A) for MMA and STY. In NMP, a similar trend is observed for MMA polymerization; however, while a solvent effect on STY was observed, the effect on Ea and A was too small to discern with confidence. A series of additional experiments was performed to evaluate the influence of camphorsulfonic acid (CSA) as an additive in STY polymerization. There was no effect of CSA on kp, confirming that the strong effect CSA has on “living” radical polymerization of styrene does not originate from complexation leading to an accelerated propagation step but rather by altering the ratio of active-to-dormant chains in the reaction. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: The authors examined the modifications of some markers of platelet activation after contact with biomaterials. Glycoprotein GMP-140 (CD62) was evaluated by flow cytometry; β-thromboglobulin (β-TG) and thromboxane B2 (TXB2) were determined by radioimmunoassay. Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) induced a remarkable platelet adhesion and a significant increase in β-TG and TXB2, with no increase in CD62 on the nonadherent platelets. Pyrolytic carbon-coated PET (PC) did not induce platelet adhesion after 15 min of contact, but a significant increase in CD62 was detected. After 30 min a significant increase in platelet adhesion as well as the release of β-TG and TXB2 were noted. The increase was lower than that observed for uncoated PET, and after 30 min of contact with PC the increase no longer was observed. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Our previous studies have shown that human albumin is one of the main salivary proteins that adsorb to titanium (Ti). The goal of the present study was to investigate the role of electrostatic interactions in the adsorption of human albumin to Ti-oxide (TiO2) in vitro. The binding profile of human albumin to Ti was analyzed according to an adsorption isotherm. Purified human serum albumin (HSA) was suspended with native, calcium-, magnesium-, or potassium-treated commercially pure Ti powders, at pH 3.0 and 7.0. The amount of unadsorbed protein in the supernatant fluid was measured. The maximum amount of adsorbed albumin was 0.13 mg/1.0 g Ti. The albumin-Ti association constant was 2.77 mL/mg. Pretreatment of Ti with calcium, or magnesium alone, or combined with increasing pH values (3.0-7.0) resulted in augmented adsorption of HSA to Ti. No increase in adsorption was observed following pretreatment of Ti with potassium. These results point to the involvement of electrostatic interactions in the adsorption of HSA to TiO2 © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Biomed Mater Res, 36, 387-392, 1997.

    Notes: Surface topography varies widely among commercially available orthopedic and dental implants. While it is generally accepted that the surface topography of an implant influences the formation of bone and affects its performance, few systematic studies have dealt with this important feature. Quantification of the mineralized tissue at the implant interface has typically been attempted using histologic methods or conventional radiographic procedures. However, histologic methods are often technically demanding and time consuming, whereas conventional radiographic procedures lack resolution and sensitivity to identify small areas of mineralization. The objective of this study was to study systematically the effects of micromachined surfaces on bone formation by applying digital radiographic techniques to identify and quantify mineralized tissue. Titanium-coated epoxy replicas of 19 different micromachined grooved or pitted surfaces that ranged between 30 and 120 μm deep, as well as smooth control surfaces, were implanted percutaneously and fixed to the parietal bone of rats. After 8 weeks the implants and attached tissue were removed and processed for light and electron microscopy. A total of 316 implant surfaces were processed, radiographed using conventional and digital techniques, and sectioned for histologic observations. The area of the bonelike tissue and its density were calculated using National Institutes of Health Image software. Mineralization was frequently noted at the interface of some types of micromachined surface but rarely on smooth surfaces. The presence of bone in histologic sections and areas identified as bone through digital radiography and image processing correlated strongly. The frequency of bonelike foci formation decreased as the depth of the grooves increased. In contrast, mineralization occurred more frequently as the depth of the pit increased. In addition, bonelike foci were oriented along the long axis of the grooves. It is thus feasible that the bonelike tissue is shaped, directed, or engineered to a predetermined configuration which is dictated by the surface topography. This study indicated that surface topography influences the frequency as well as the amount of bone deposited adjacent to implants, and mineralized product can be guided by the surface topography. Moreover, digital radiography and image processing can be used reliably to identify and quantify mineralized tissue at the implant interface. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: A device based on the cone-and-plate flow geometry commonly employed for viscometry was developed for the investigation of cell-surface interactions. The cone-and-plate geometry is capable of generating uniform, constant shear-rate flow fields, and control of cone rotational speed allows for easy variation of fluid shear rate. The current design is adapted for use with any material that is available in the form of a flat plate (film or coating). It also allows for replicate samples (the same or different surfaces) to be evaluated simultaneously. The device was tested under varying flow conditions for its ability to measure platelet adhesion from suspensions of washed platelets containing red cells. Collagen- and albumin-coated polymer materials were used as “standard” surfaces of known platelet reactivity (high and low, respectively). Adhesion to the collagen-coated surface was measured over a range of shear rate from 0 to 300 s-1 and times up to 15 min. Platelet adhesion was observed to increase with increasing shear rate and time. Adhesion was significantly higher in the presence of red cells as has been observed by others. Effective platelet diffusion coefficients, calculated from the data on adhesion to the collagen surface, increased with increasing shear rate. Very little platelet adhesion to the albumin-coated surface, known to be unreactive to platelets, was observed when measured over a 15 min time period at 300 s-1 shear rate, indicating that the device itself does not stimulate the platelets in the flow field. The data generated provide validation for this device as a simple means of measuring cell adhesion under controlled flow conditions to any smooth surface available in flat plate form. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
