    Notes: Group-specific polysaccharides isolated by means of a cetavlon procedure are immunogenic in man and induce protective immunity against meningococcal meningitis. Minute quantities of the polymers in solution can act as vaccines. We now report the first characterization of a fractionated (C-1) group C polysaccharide in 0.4KM KCl and 0.05M sodium acetate by means of light-scattering spectroscopy. Independent measurements of refractive index increments, absolute scattered intensities, angular scattering intensities and line widths as a function of scattering angles and delay times at different concentrations using incident wavelengths of 632.8 nm from a He-Ne laser and of 488 nm from an argon-ion laser yield information on aggregation properties, molecular weight (Mr), radius of gyration 〈r0g〉1/2z, translational diffusion coefficient 〈D〉0z, and second virial coefficients A2 and B2 of C-1 polysaccharide.At relatively high ionic strength (0.04M KCl + 0.05M sodium acetate), we obtain for the C-1 polysaccharide in solution Mr = 5.15 × 105, 〈r2g〉1/2z = 345 Å, A2 = 1.25 × 10-4 ml/g, 〈D〉0z = 1.16 × 10-7 cm2/sec with a corresponding Stokes radius of 240 Å and B2 = 4.4 ml/g. A2 and B2 are the second virial coefficients from intensity- and diffusion-coefficient measurements. The C-1 polysaccharide aggregates in solution and behaves hydrodynamically like random coils. Viscosity and sedimentation studies further confirm our conclusions that the fractioned C-1 polysaccharide aggregates in solution and EDTA can partially break up those aggregates. However, the system remains polydisperse even after adding an excess amount of EDTA. The weight-average molecular weight of the C-1 polysaccharide in solution depends upon ionic strength and exhibits a minimum at ∼0.2M KCl. Finally, viscosity, light-scattering, and sedimentation results all show that the aggregated macromolecular system behaves like random-coiled polymers with no measurable shape factors.

    Notes: To understand influences of various factors on dynamic durability of engineering plastics, effects of average molecular weights of samples, molding variables, preparing methods of specimens, and fillers on plane and rotational bending, torsional, and impacting fatigue and cavitation erosion and solvent cracking of polycarbonate were studied. From the experimental results, the following tendencies are observed as a whole in case of polycarbonate: The extent of influence of the factors on dynamic durability varies depending on the type of testing. Increase in molecular weight has a favorable effect on dynamic durabilities. Influence of molding conditions is remarkable: especially, deficient drying of resin pellets before molding decreases dynamic durability noticeably, and specimens prepared by injection molding have much better durabilities than those by machaning from extruded sheet. Polyethylene blending has an unfavorable effect on durability, except for Izod-type impact strength and solvent cracking. Reinforcement by glass fiber has a favorable effect on fatigue under constant deformation and cavitation erosion.

    Notes: The relationship was investigated between birefringence and oscillatory shear deformation of linear high molecular mass polymers exemplified by narrow- and broad-distribution polybutadienes and polyisoprenes. Polymer deformation at different frequencies and amplitudes was carried out in an annular gap. The stress field uniformity was not below 95%. It was shown that in oscillatory deformation of polymers in the fluid and high-elastic states, birefringence contains a time-independent steady component and an oscillatory component with a frequency equal to that of the assigned oscillation. A linear interrelation was found to exist between the amplitude of the oscillatory component of birefringence and that of the shear stresses, with a proportionality factor equal to the stress-optical coefficient of the polymers. The phase of the oscillatory component of birefringence coincides with that of the shear stresses. Measurements of the steady component of the birefringence make it possible to find the steady component of the first normal stress difference resulting from the assignment of shear oscillations to the polymer. On the basis of the experimental data obtained for polybutadienes and polyisoprenes, and the literature data for polystyrene solutions, a master curve was constructed that generalizes the dependence of the steady component of the first normal stress difference in the linear and nonlinear deformation regimes on the product of the square of the deformation amplitude and the storage modulus measured at low amplitudes. This dependence is valid in the linear and nonlinear deformation regimes. It is invariant with frequency, amplitude deformation, molecular mass, and molecular mass distribution of the polymers. It is shown by visual observation of deformation that the abrupt drop in resistance of polymer to shear in large-amplitude deformation is due to polymer rupture near the surface of the inner cylinder and is accompanied by a slip-stick process. This is the phenomenon of spurt early observed in capillary viscometers at high shear stresses and recently investigated in coaxial cylinder devices at large amplitude deformation.

    Notes: During the flow of high molecular weight, narrow-, and broad-distribution polybutadienes and polyisoprenes rheo-optical measurements were conducted of extensional stresses acting along the flow axis in the preentrance and entrance regions of the duct and of their subsequent relaxation in the duct. The extensional stresses increase in the preentrance region, reach their maximum values at a distance of two or three tenths of the duct width from its edges, and then relax. The position of the maximum extensional stress is independent of polymer characteristics, shear stresses in the duct, and shape of the entrance and dimensions of the rectangular duct. The dependence of the maximum extensional stress on the shear stress of the duct wall can be assumed to be linear for small values. The length of the stress relaxation zone depends on the shear stress at the duct wall and the molecular mass distribution. It is independent of the molecular masses in narrow-distribution polymers. For the polymers investigated, a generalized dependence was obtained for the reduced duct length over which the extensional stresses relax to zero from the reduced deformation rate. This dependence takes into account the characteristic polymer relaxation times and the value of the molecular mass of the chain between the fluctuation entanglement. A considerable decrease in the duct's length-to-width ratio leads to an increase in the maximum values of the extensional stresses. A decreases in the duct entrance angle causes a reduction in the rate of increase of extensional stresses, the maximum values, and the acceleration of the relaxation processes in the duct. A decrease in the ratio of the width of the preentrance region to the duct width leads to a reduction in the maximum in extensional stresses. It is shown that one of the causes for the instability of the polymer flow in the ducts can be the rupture of polymers due to their extension in the preentrance and entrance regions. Calculations were done that describe satisfactorily the relationship between the values of the maximum extensional stresses and the shear rate and stresses on the duct wall.

    Notes: Three structural modifications of poly(γ-benzyl L-glutamate) (PBLG), forms A, B, and C, were prepared by varying the casting solvents and casting temperature. From x-ray analysis, infrared absorption spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, and viscoelastic measurements, it is concluded that form A of PBLG is characterized by intramolecular stacking between the benzene rings in the side chain, form B exhibits intermolecular stacking, and form C has no stacking. The transition which corresponds to the breakdown of stacking of form A at 135°C is irreversible, while that of form B at 110°C is reversible. The degree of stacking is larger for form A than for form B. These structural features of the side chain region reflect the permeation and sorption behavior of carbon dioxide. Breakdown of stacking between benzene rings causes an abrupt increase in permeability in both form A and form B, and the permeation behavior for form A is not reversible, as is suggested from the irreversibility of the transition. The larger the degree of stacking, the lower is the amount of sorption. Although stacking is considered to affect the sorption site (solubility) and molecular motion, its influence on solubility is more evident in the temperature range up to about 50°C.

    Notes: Melting point, the iodine color reaction, and foam fractionation were studied on model poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) having short branches of one or two monomer units in length. An increase in the amount of short branching units caused a marked decrease in color intensity of the PVA-iodine reaction and in the melting point. These tendencies were more remarkable when the short branching was two monomer units in length than when it was one monomer unit. It was also found that foam fractionation of an aqueous PVA solution produced PVA fractions with different degree of short branching, the degree increasing with increase in the fraction number. The color intensity of the PVA-iodine reaction has been confirmed to decrease with increase in the fraction number, but this result cannot be explained solely in terms of the short branching. It is concluded that the phenomenon of foam fractionation of PVA and the iodine color reaction of the fraction appear to be governed by many factors such as molecular weight, stereoregularity, and short branching.

    Notes: Photopolymerization of methyl methacrylate was studied in the presence of the system of the tetraphenylporphine-iron(III) complex, free amine, and carbon tetrachloride at 0°C in methanol solution. It was found that the activity of the complex for polymerization does not depend upon the structure of the free amines added. The effect of the polymeric amines on the polymerization was also examined. The photochemical reaction process among the iron(III) complex, amine, and carbon tetrachloride was followed also under similar conditions by ultraviolet and visible spectroscopy. The scheme for the initiation species presented is supported by the results on the posteffect of the photopolymerization.

    Notes: N-Vinylpyrrolidone (NVP) was polymerized in dimethylformamide (DMF) at 60°C in the presence of poly(methacrylic acids) (PMAA) of different tacticities and molecular weights. The rate enhancement, which was ascribed to chain growth of the poly(vinylpyrrolidone) (PVP) radical along the polyacid template, became more pronounced with increasing chain length and syndiotacticity of the PMAA template. The results can be expressed by vR = aPvn, where vR is the polymerization rate relative to that of the blank experiment, Pv is the viscosity-average degree of polymerization of PMAA, and a and n are constants depending on the reaction conditions and tacticity of PMAA. In the presence of excess monomer the rate enhancement decreased when the quantity of PVP produced corresponded to a stoichiometric ratio of 1:1 with the available PMAA. It is proposed that the template effect is caused mainly by delay of the bimolecular termination step of growing PVP radicals associated with PMAA. Diffusion of polymer radicals, and consequently termination, will be more impaired if the attached PMAA has a greater length (size) and if the binding forces between PVP radical and PMAA template are stronger. The latter implies that PVP forms the strongest complexes with syndiotactic PMAA. This is supported by experiments concerning complex stability.

    Notes: Behavior of the free radical copolymerization of N-β-methacryloyloxyethyl derivatives of adenine with that of thymine was studied in chloroform solution, taking account of the specific base-base interaction of these monomers. Hydrogen bonding interaction between such monomers was observed by NMR spectroscopy. The acceleration of copolymerization was found to be greater either at lower monomer concentration or at lower polymerization temperature. When N-β-methacryloyloxyethylcarbazole was used as a comonomer, the rate of copolymerization showed a similar trend as in the case of usual free radical copolymerizations. From r1 and r2 values obtained, the copolymerization was found to be alternating, particularly in the case of copolymerization between monomers having complementary nucleic acid bases. The results suggest that the hydrogen bonding interaction between adenine and thymine plays a role in the propagation step.
