    Notes: Summary The three-dimensional structure of dolastatin-10, an extremely potent cytostatic and antineoplastic peptide extracted from the mollusc Dolabella auricularia, has not yet been fully characterized in an experimental way. By means of a systematic conformational search of the natural peptide and of two mutated analogs, carried out both in vacuo and in aqueous solution, the present work allows to obtain insights into the conformational preferences of this remarkable compound. In addition, the ability to form intra- and intermolecular H-bonds as a function both of the sequence and of the conformation is discussed. The search for the best molecular conformations has been carried out using a molecular mechanics approach, based on the CVFF potential. Dolastatin-10 contains some unusual amino acids for which no experimental structural data are available. In order to check the reliability of the CVFF potential in predicting structures of such nonconventional amino acids, geometry optimizations have been carried out using the ab initio Hartree-Fock procedure. The CVFF parameterization is found to be adequate also for nonconventional amino acids.

    Notes: Semi-interpenetrating networks (semi-IPN's) based on linear poly(phenylene ether)s and crosslinked polystyrene can be prepared by reactive moulding of crosslinkable polymeric mixtures. These materials show thermomechanical properties which strongly depend on both the ratio of the two polymeric matrices and the degree of crosslinking in the polystyrene network. Samples based on a 50/50 weight ratio of poly(2,6-dimethyl-1,4-phenylene oxide)/crosslinked polystyrene show glass transition temperatures (Tg) which are very dependent on the degree of crosslinking. It is therefore possible to obtain materials with desired Tg, ranging from the Tg of the corresponding linear blend to that of poly(2,6-dimethyl-1,4-phenylene oxide) alone.

    Notes: Rubber modification of poly(2,6-dimethyl-1,4-phenylene oxide) (PPO)/crosslinked polystyrene (CPS) semi-interpenetrating polymer networks (semi-IPNs) was studied using polybutadiene (PB), a linear styrene-butadiene-styrene (SBS) triblock cocpolymer and a star-shaped SBS multi-block copolymer, at different composition ratios. The materials, obtained by reactive compression moulding of mixtures containing PPO, an elastomer, styrenic monomers and crosslinker (divinylbenzene), show a very high glass transition temperature (Tg), high dimensional stability and good impact properties.
