    Notes: A series of Melanin-concentrating hormone (MCH) fragments have been synthesized and their biological activities compared with the parent peptide. The substructural units, 5-14 linear and 5-14 cyclic, have been used as models for MCH -  in 1H-nmr conformational studies. Conformational features predicted by molecular dynamics analyses find support in the nmr experiments.

    Notes: The viscoelastic responses of some molten polymers, and particularly of low density polyethylene (LDPE), are known to vary with processing history. Reasons for the variations include the effects of shear history on morphological states of the polymer, or on its molecular weight parameters. A typical low density polyethylene has been used to test the shear-history dependence concept following a variety of processing steps. The polymer was sheared in single-screw and twin-screw extruders, and in a high speed melter / mixer (Gelimat). Samples also were precipitated from very dilute solutions in trichlorobenzene and in p-xylene. GPC analyses showed that, in general, these procedures did not affect the various moments of molecular weight. An exception was the Gelimat-mixed sample, for which mild reductions in Mn and Mw were noted. In contrast, melt viscosity and elasticity readings, the former from low shear evaluations and the latter from extrudate swelling, were affected by the various procedures. A drop in melt viscosity and in elasticity was observed, being most pronounced for precipitated and twin-screw extruded versions of the LDPE. Reductions also were observed in the specimen sheared in the Gelimat instrument. Following conditioning at the test extrusion temperature (170°C), viscous and elastic responses tended to revert to those of the unsheared control sample, the exception again being the sample sheared in the Gelimat melter / mixer. Of the various mechanisms proposed in the literature to account for transient property changes such as those reported, temporary changes in the degree of chain entanglement appear the most satisfactory explanation. Irreversible alterations in viscoelastic properties may be associated with changes in molecular weights due to processing at high shear.

    Notes: Reactive melt processing of different types of diamines with polyethylene containing carboxylic acid groups and polystyrene containing anhydride groups was carried out. The reactivity of primary, secondary, and tertiary diamines with these acid polymers was determined using various techniques. Molecular weight increases due to crosslinking were observed through (1) changes in the torque during the reactive processing, (2) decrease in melt flow indices, and (3) decrease in solubility of the reaction products. The chemical compositions of the reaction products were examined by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. Thermal analysis using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) was carried out to determine the crystallization behavior, glass transition temperatures, and thermal stabilities of the reaction products. Results show that the primary amine is the most reactive towards carboxylic acid or anhydride groups followed by the secondary and then the tertiary amine. Anhydride groups on polymers are of higher activity towards secondary or primary amino groups than carboxylic acid groups in the nucleophilic acyl substitution reactions. Reaction products crosslinked with the primary diamine are less stable than their parent acidic polymers. On the other hand, crosslinking with the secondary or tertiary diamine gives products with higher thermal stability than the parent acidic polymers. The formation of reversible and irreversible crosslinks with different types of diamines is also reported. © 1992 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: The grafting of 2-(dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate (DMAEMA) onto two model hydrocarbons, squalane and n-eicosane, and to linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE) has been investigated. The results of the study indicate that a high reaction temperature, 160°C, and a low concentration of monomer, less than 0.3 M, are optimum conditions for the grafting reaction. Reaction products, which consisted of grafted hydrocarbons and poly(DMAEMA), were separated by solvent extraction and vacuum distillation; samples were then analyzed by NMR and FTIR spectroscopy and size exclusion chromatography. 1H-NMR spectroscopy indicates that grafted squalane contained approximately 6 DMAEMA units per squalane residue. 1H- and 13C-NMR and molecular weight studies strongly suggest that the grafts onto the model hydrocarbons consist of single DMAEMA units. Results of the melt grafting of DMAEMA onto LLDPE show that the grafting efficiency and degree of grafting are substantially lower than were expected from the model system. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: The mathematical tools necessary to describe quantitatively the chemical processes that dictate the performance of exhaust oxygen sensors are developed. Such sensors are used commonly to monitor exhaust streams generated by internal-combustion processes. Calculated results compare well with available experimental results, although several open questions are idetified that require more experimental data. The mathematical formalism for describing the transport of gaseous species through the porous spinel structure protecting the platinum electrode on the exhaust side of the sensor is developed based on the Stefan-Maxwell equations. The kinetic processes occurring at the interface formed by the platinum electrode and the spinel structure, including the oxidation of hydrogen and carbon monoxide and various adsorption-desorption reactions, enter as boundary conditions for the transport equations. The analysis enables one to calculate the sensor's voltage response as a function of the air-to-fuel ratio λ and to investigate phenomena such as the magnitude of the voltage jump in going from rich to lean gas mixtures and the λ value at which this jump occurs.

    Notes: The antidepressant fluoxetine (FLU) and its N-demethylated metabolite, norfluoxetine (NFLU), each contains a chiral center. The combination of FLU and desipramine (DMI), another antidepressant, has been reported to be useful in treatment of depression, to dramatically increase plasma levels of DMI and also to produce more rapid β-adrenergic receptor down-regulation in brain than caused by DMI alone. We have now begun studies on the effects of this drug combination on the levels of FLU and NFLU enantiomers in the rat. In addition, the combination of FLU and iprindole (IPR) was also investigated. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were treated intraperitoneally with either normal saline vehicle, DMI (5 mg/kg/day), (R,S)-FLU (10 mg/kg/day) or DMI (5 mg/kg/day) + (R,S)-FLU (10 mg/kg/day) for 4 days. Following the last treatment, 24 h urine samples were collected. Rats were sacrificed and brains were removed. For the IPR study, rats were pretreated with either saline or IPR-HCl (11.2 mg/kg) and then treated 1 h later with (R,S)-FLU. After 5 h, the rats were sacrificed and brains were removed. Brain and urine samples were analyzed by gas chromatography with electron-capture detection for free (R)- and (S)-FLU and (R)- and (S)-NFLU after extraction and reaction with (-)-(S)-N-(trifluoroacetyl)prolyl chloride. The results from the brains of the rats treated with DMI/FLU indicate that levels of the enantiomers of both FLU and NFLU were significantly increased over those seen in the animals receiving (R,S)-FLU alone. In the IPR/FLU treated rats, an increase in the brain levels of both (R)- and (S)-FLU was noted when compared with rats receiving (R,S)-FLU alone; however, there appeared to be no increase in the brain levels of NFLU enantiomers. © 1994 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

    Notes: The ability to evaluate various mechanical test parameters of polymers using an instrumented impact tester is reviewed. The nature of the short chain branching (SCB) in a series of linear low density polyethylenes (LLDPE) was characterized and related to several impact test parameters for these materials. The impact strength, ductility, and impact fatigue life were observed to increase with increasing branch length. This was attributed, in fact, to an increase in the number of interlamellar tie molecules as the SCB length increased. With an increase in the SCB length the SCB distribution became broader; the number of chains rich in short chain branches increased. This component acts somewhat like the rubber particles in a rubber-toughened blend which gives rise to the concept of a “one copolymer blend”.

    Notes: The effects of rubber particle size and rubber/matrix adhesion on the impact properties of a brittle polymer have been separated using polystyrene (PS)/acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber (NBR) as a model system in which interfacial chemical reaction could be controlled. It has been proven that the interfacial adhesion between the rubber phase and the PS matrix not only greatly aids in reducing the rubber particle size but also plays a further role in improving the impact properties of the matrix polymer. The impact energies of PS/NBR blends with interfacial chemical bonding are four to ten times as high as those without interfacial bonding for the same average rubber particle size. However, at temperatures below the glass transition temperature of the rubber, there is no difference in impact energies with or without interfacial chemical bonding. It has been found that the optimum rubber particle size for toughening PS is influenced by interfacial adhesion. Smaller optimum rubber particle size is observed for blends with greater amounts of interfacial chemical bonding.

    Notes: The effects of cryogenically ground rubber tires (CGT) on some of the mechanical properties of blends with linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE) and high density polyethylene (HDPE) are presented. Precoating the CGT particles with an ethylene-acrylic acid copolymer is shown to overcome most of the deleterious effects of adding CGT to LLDPE, while still retaining composite processability. A blend of 40 wt% EAA coated CGT particles with LLDPE is shown to have impact and tensile strengths that are 90% of those for the pure LLDPE, representing increases of 60 and 20%, respectively, over blends with uncoated particles. Blends of LLDPE with ground tire bladders demonstrate that even better mechanical properties can be obtained with similar large rubber particle size but somewhat better adhesion. For HDPE, however, it is shown that with large rubber particles, moderate adhesion is not sufficient to produce useful composites.
