    Notes: The swelling and viscoelastic behaviors of samples of purified arterial elastin were investigated to develop a model for studying the viscoelastic behavior of elastin. Two osmotic stress models were used: the vapor phase model (VPM), in which the stress on the elastin sample was applied through the vapor phase by equilibrating the sample over a saline solution, and the liquid phase model (LPM), in which the stress was applied through the liquid phase by equilibrating the sample in aqueous solutions of large molecular weight polymers. The elastin in the VPM showed a highly varied viscoelastic response, and was slightly stiffer and had a slightly higher damping coefficient than the elastin in the LPM at equivalent nominal relative humidities. We believe the difference in behavior of the elastin in the two models was due to geometric distortions of the elastin that occur during dehydration in the VPM. In the LPM, the spaces between the elastin fibrils are filled with water, and in the VPM these spaces collapse when the water is removed. Removal of only the interfibrillar water deswelled the tissue and increased its stiffness and damping coefficient.Viscoelastic spectra obtained at different levels of osmotic stress in the LPM were reducible to one master curve, indicating that the dominant effect of dehydration is a nonspecific reduction of molecular mobility. We conclude that the LPM is a better model than the VPM for studying the effects of dehydration on the mechanical behavior of elastin. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Poly(ether sulfone imide)s (PEI) with molecular weight Mn ∼ 104 were synthesized from 3,3′,4,4′-benzophenone tetracarboxylic dianhydride and amine terminated poly(ether sulfone) having molecular weights ranging from Mn ∼ 400 to Mn ∼ 4000. Thus, the PEIs had the same molecular weight but various imide and ether sulfone contents. The PEIs were mixed with a stoichiometric mixture of diglycidyl ether bis-phenol-A (DGEBA)/diamino diphenyl sulfone (DDS). The effect of PEI on the curing reaction of DGEBA/DDS and the morphology of the polymer blend were studied by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and optical microscopy. In the DGEBA/DDS/PEI blend with a fixed PEI molecular weight and PEI concentration but with various imide content, the experimental data revealed the PEI with a higher content of ether sulfone had a lower Tg and a better compatibility with solvents and epoxy resins; the curing reaction rate of DGEBA/DDS/PEI was faster for PEI with a higher imide content; the DSC data of cured DGEBA/DDS/PEI showed two Tgs, indicating phase separation between PEI and cured epoxy resins; and the data of optical microscopy showed that the compatibility of PEI with epoxy resins increased with the content of ether sulfone in PEI. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Initial adsorption of trimethylsilane on Ge(100) surfaces (1998)

    Notes: Trimethylsilane (TMSiH) was adsorbed onto a Ge(100) surface at a temperature of -150±3°C and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) was used to study the resulting surface species as functions of the TMSiH exposure in Langmuir (L). The core-level C 1s, Si 2p and Ge 3d photoelectrons were monitored after each dosing. It was observed that the C-C bonds are the dominant species formed at the low doses of TMSiH. The second abundant species at the low coverage is the C-Ge bond. This indicated dissociative adsorption of TMSiH molecules onto a clean Ge(100) surface, which is similar to the adsorption of TMSiH molecules onto an Si(100) surface. As the dose increases, the Si-C species gradually increase due to physisorbed TMSiH on top of the C-C- and C-Ge-covered surface. This study clearly reveals the growth processes of TMSiH on a Ge(100) surface. The electronegativities of C, Si and Ge and the bond strengths of C-C, C-Si and C-Ge were invoked to discuss the initial formation of C-C and C-Ge on the Ge(100) surface. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

    Retardation experiments in glass-forming liquids and their description in terms of the conformon model (1996)

    Notes: Relaxation in glass-forming liquids as measured by dielectric, by light- and by neutron-scattering experiments can be described with the aid of the conformon model. Conformons behave like bosons which display a photon statistics. Conformons are excited and can also be annihilated. They show a universal reduced energy density distribution, revealing their thermodynamic roots. Each relaxation mode is assumed to be directly connected with a distinct conformon. The coupling is described by an empirical power law. The actual relaxation time distribution is then obtained by scaling each relaxation mode with the same kinetic factor. The relaxation behavior of liquids is therefore self-similar, characterized by individual factors such as the relaxation power, the coupling parameter and the temperature of pressure dependence of the kinetic factor (“shift factor”).

    The Electrothermal Enhancement of Propellant Burning by Plasma Injection (1997)

    Notes: A series of experimental demonstrations of plasma injection into a burning propellant interface is presented. The propellant is a nitro-guanidine based material in the form of a right cylinder with a bore along its central axis. It is ignited by a hot-wire system and, when a pre-set pressure is achieved, a second wire is exploded using a high-voltage capacitor discharge circuit. The second wire forms a plasma, precisely at, or well away from the burning interface. Comparing the pressure histories from these different geometries allows the effect of increased burning rate to be separated from Joule heating of the product gases. Analysis of these histories shows a pressure increase over that caused by Joule heating of the products.

    Synthesis and characterization of polyimides endcapped with phenylethynylphthalic anhydride (1995)

    Notes: The synthesis of high glass transition temperature (Tg 〉 300°C), amorphous, soluble, poly-imide oligomers of controlled molecular weight endcapped with 4-phenylethynylphthalic anhydride endcapping agent is described. The 4-phenylethynylphthalic anhydride was employed to afford a higher curing temperature (380-420°C) which widens the processing window compared to unsubstituted acetylene-endcapped polyimides. The polyimides were synthesized via solution imidization techniques, using the ester-acid of various dianhydrides and aromatic diamines. A “ one-pot” procedure utilizing NMP as the solvent and o-dichlo-robenzene as the azeotroping agent reproducibly produced fully imidized, but yet soluble wholly aromatic polyimides. Thermally cured samples were prepared with gel contents of up to 98% that displayed good solvent resistance. Glass transition temperatures comparable to high molecular weight linear analogs were produced. These polyimides also show excellent thermal stability as judged by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). Model phenylethynyl imide compounds were synthesized and used to follow and elucidate the nature of the products formed from the phenylethynyl curing by using high temperature magic-angle 13C nuclear magnetic resonance (MAS NMR). Preliminary results indicate that the cure reaction can be followed by MAS NMR. However, the nature of the products being formed during the curing process is difficult to determine by the solid-state MAS NMR alone. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) data clearly show that the model system does indeed melt and displays a wide window before the strong cure exotherm is observed. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: The fungus Cordyceps militaris has been previously shown to be capable of inverting the chirality of 2-phenylpropionic acid from its (R)-enantiomer to its (S)-antipode. The structure of this compound is similar to the 2-arylpropionic acid non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, which have also been reported to undergo a similar chiral inversion process in mammals and man. We report here an investigation into the substrate specificity of the enzyme system present in C. militaris using pure enantiomers and racemates of ibuprofen and ketoprofen and racemates of indoprofen, suprofen, flurbiprofen, and fenoprofen and the structurally related compounds 2-phenylbutyric acid and 2-phenoxypropionic acid as substrates, using optimised incubation conditions developed for the inversion of 2-phenylpropionic acid. The results demonstrated that C. militaris is capable of inverting the chirality of all the compounds investigated, which suggests that the active sites of the enzymes are very flexible with regard to the molecular dimensions of the substrate molecule and the spatial occupation of the groups surrounding the chiral centre. Metabolism of all the substrates was observed but the rate of metabolism varied extensively depending on the substrate. Achiral HPLC analysis was used to detect any potential metabolites and the results suggested that the site of the metabolism appeared to be at the aliphatic side groups only, with the aromatic ring being left intact in all cases. These results suggest that C. militaris could be a valuable tool in the investigation of the prospective metabolic fates of new 2-arylpropionic acids during their development.

    A mechanistic investigation of the microbial chiral inversion of 2-phenylpropionic acid by Verticillium lecanii (1997)

    Notes: Previous investigations have described the development of nongrowing suspension of Verticillium lecanii as a microbial model of the mammalian chiral inversion of the 2-arylpropionic acids (2-APAs). Mechanistic studies in mammals have shown that inversion involves loss of the α-methine proton but retention of the original atoms at the β-methyl position, and a mechanism has been proposed involving enzymatic epimerisation of acyl-CoA thioester derivatives of the substrate. Inversion of the 2-APAs by V. lecanii exhibits extensive intersubstrate variation in the presence, rate, extent, and direction of inversion, which are different from those observed in mammalian systems, possibly indicating differences in the mechanism of inversion between mammalian and microbial cells. This study involved the investigation of proton/deuterium exchange by 1H-nuclear magnetic resonance following incubation of deuterated derivatives of 2-phenylpropionic acid (2-PPA), a model compound, in cell suspensions of V. lecanii and incubation of undeuterated 2-PPA in cell suspensions containing D2O. The results indicated that the inversion of 2-PPA by V. lecanii also involved exchange of the α-methine proton but complete retention on the original atoms at the β-methyl position. No kinetic deuterium isotope effect was observed, indicating that loss of the α-methine proton is not the rate-limiting step of the inversion process. This suggests that the observed differences between microbial and mammalian systems probably involve the stereoselective acyl-CoA thioester formation step and not the subsequent epimerisation of the resultant diastereomers.
