    Notes: Several microcrystalline celluloses prepared from viscose staple, bagasse, ramie, and cotton were evaluated by viscosimetry, X-ray diffraction and scanning and transmission electron microscopies. The changes in crystallinity, size of crystallites, grain-size distribution, morphological features, and degree of polymerization were found to be dependent on and greatly limited by the polymorphic conformations of cellulose. These changes were more conspicuous in cellulose II than in cellulose I. The coexistence of a two-phase system still remains in all the specimens of microcrystalline cellulose powders. Combining the findings with respect to the extent of the changes in the size of crystallites, it appears inevitable that recrystallization in some of the defective crystallites and degradation in the disordered areas of cellulose occurs simultaneously in the preliminary hydrolysis process during the production of microcrystalline cellulose. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Description: Eutrophic coastal regions are highly productive and greatly influenced by human activities. Primary production supporting the coastal ecosystems is supposed to be affected by progressive ocean acidification driven by increasing CO2 emissions. In order to investigate the effects of high pCO2 (HC) on eutrophic plankton community structure and ecological functions, we employed 9 mesocosms and carried out an experiment under ambient (410 ppmv) and future high (1000 ppmv) atmospheric pCO2 conditions, using in situ plankton community in Wuyuan Bay, East China Sea. Our results showed that HC along with natural seawater temperature rise significantly boosted biomass of diatoms with decreased abundance of dinoflagellates in the late stage of the experiment, demonstrating that HC repressed the succession from diatoms to dinoflagellates, a phenomenon observed during algal blooms in the East China Sea. HC did not significantly influence the primary production or biogenic silica contents of the phytoplankton assemblages. However, the HC treatments increased the abundance of viruses and heterotrophic bacteria, reflecting a refueling of nutrients for phytoplankton growth from virus-mediated cell lysis and bacterial degradation of organic matters. Conclusively, our results suggest that increasing CO2 concentrations can modulate plankton structure including the succession of phytoplankton community and the abundance of viruses and bacteria in eutrophic coastal waters, which may lead to altered biogeochemical cycles of carbon and nutrients.

    Notes: We highlight here the symmetry breaking which occurs as rodlike particles are adsorbed onto a planar surface. A spin-1 Ising-variable Hamiltonian is defined which includes both bilinear and biquadratic interaction terms. Nearest-neighbor couplings are also introduced which distinguish between parallel pairs of particles having different orientations with respect to the surface normal; finally, a single-particle term describes the anisotropy in adsorption energy. By solving for the thermodynamics of this Hamiltonian in both mean-field and renormalization-group approximation, we establish the necessary conditions for the appearance of two successive fluid–fluid phase transitions.

    Notes: The influence of surface constraints on the conformations of a flexible polymer are investigated. The polymer is modeled as a Gaussian chain, and the influence of repulsive polymer–polymer excluded volume interactions is investigated using renormalization group methods. Various measures of the polymer mean dimensions are computed for chains terminally attached to mutually orthogonal surfaces and for a wide range of polymer excluded volume interactions. Two limiting cases of the polymer–surface interaction are considered—the absorbing boundary condition corresponding to a "repelling'' surface and the reflecting boundary condition associated with the "adsorption theta point,'' where surface attractions fall just short of adsorbing the polymer.

    Notes: We describe an extension of the generalized regular solution model of a liquid supported monolayer of long chain amphiphile molecules in which chain–chain interactions outside the surface layer are included as well as the effects of chain flexibility in the surface and in the space above the surface layer. Self-consistent equations for the distribution of molecular configurations and the surface density and pressure are derived by using a model free energy expression. Two first order fluid–fluid phase transitions are predicted for three different models for the chain–chain interactions outside the surface. These transitions are identified as the observed gas-to-"liquid-expanded'' and liquid-expanded-to-"liquid-condensed'' phase transitions in a monolayer, the first to be associated with the condensation of the in-surface portions of the amphiphile chains and the second to be associated with the condensation of the out of surface portions of the amphiphile chains. This interpretation comes from the observation of the different distributions of the molecular configurations in the coexistence regions for the two transitions and is reinforced by the analysis of the sensitivity of the equation of state to the parameters used in the model. The theory leads to a simple and qualitative but accurate physical picture of the successive fluid-fluid transitions of the monolayer.

    Notes: We study the curvature elastic properties of monolayers of diblock copolymers adsorbed at the interface of two incompatible solvents which are also selective solvents for the two blocks. At saturation, the interfacial free energy is minimized with respect to contributions from the chain conformation free energy, the interfacial tension, and the two-dimensional translational entropy of the chains. For a curved interface, this minimization leads naturally to curvature elasticity. The three elastic coefficients, the spontaneous radius of curvature, the bending modulus, and the Gaussian bending modulus, as functions of the molecular weights, the interfacial tension, the interaction parameters, etc., are obtained for a number of cases. Our study employs the theory for grafted chains recently developed by Milner et al. to obtain the chain conformation free energy which takes into account the nonuniformity of the chain-end distribution. This improvement not only affects the overall prefactor of the free energy but it changes the relative values of the three elastic coefficients as well. We consider the cases of both a swollen monolayer and a monolayer consisting of a melt of copolymer chains, as well as an interesting case where one of the blocks is in the swollen condition and the other block is in the melt condition. Because the chains in the melt and the swollen conditions have distinctively different scaling behaviors, the mixed case displays some features that are different from either the swollen and the melt cases.

    Notes: We study the micellization of associating polymers (hydrocarbon chains with dipolar head groups in hydrophobic solvents) for the case where the polar heads form a linear array. The head interaction is assumed to be short ranged and the chain conformation (free) energy is assumed to follow spherical scaling in the small aggregation number limit and to have cylindrical scaling in the large aggregation number limit. In the small aggregation number limit, the aggregation number is only weakly dependent on the chain length. Numerical solutions as well as analytical studies show that the size distribution displays features of both the spherical and cylindrical aggregates: namely the absence of a sharp CMC transition and a rather sharp distribution function with a width that increases slowly with the mean aggregation number. In the large aggregation limit, the aggregation number can be a strong function of the chain molecular weight. We discuss the importance of the "end cap'' effect in determining the mean size as a function of the chain lengths.

    Notes: Using a statistical-thermodynamic formulation, we investigate the failure of ideal and almost-ideal solids at finite temperature. We propose that the onset of failure in a defect-free crystal is associated with the loss of a metastable minimum in the free energy at a critical value of the applied tensile force. Using a mean-field approximation, we estimate the free energy of the two-dimensional Lennard-Jones crystal under stress and derive the temperature dependence of its ideal strength and other properties. These results are compared to Monte Carlo simulations of this system, and the mean-field estimate of the ideal strength is shown to be an upper bound to the values observed via simulation. We also show that atomic-scale defects such as vacancies and substitutional impurities significantly reduce the crystal's strength as a result of stress enhancement effects. While the overall strength of a defective crystal depends strongly on both temperature and the nature of the defects, the maximum local stress that the crystal can sustain without failure is essentially independent of these factors.

    Notes: We present a theoretical study of spatially modulated phases in self-assembled monolayers of mixed surfactants. We propose two models which are appropriate, respectively, for monolayers at a fluid–fluid interface and monolayers on a solid substrate. We show that in both cases, the molecular shape asymmetry, coupled with the local composition variation, can lead to spontaneous formation of periodic structures. In the case of liquid-supported monolayers, the molecular shape asymmetry is manifested as a spontaneous curvature of each component of the film, which induces periodic variations both in the composition of the amphiphiles and in the height profile of the interface (ripples). In the case of solid-supported monolayers, the shape asymmetry is reflected in the spontaneous splay of the orientation of the amphiphiles, and the spatial modulation involves the composition as well as the orientation of the amphiphilic molecules. We analyze these models in some detail near the critical region, where we highlight the roles played by various length scales in determining the critical wavelength. We show that gravity has some very subtle and nontrivial effects for a liquid-supported, tension-free monolayer. We also present some preliminary results for the low temperature cases.

    Notes: We fabricated epitaxial NbN/MgO/NbN Josephson tunnel junctions with good tunneling characteristics in the range of JC=0.2–70 kA/cm2. The counter and base NbN electrodes of the tunnel junctions had the same TC and 20 K resistivity at about 15.7 K and 60 μΩ-cm, respectively. X-ray analysis showed that all the layers that formed the tunnel junctions grew epitaxially. In the range of JC=0.2–15 kA/cm2, the tunnel junctions fabricated had large gap voltages (5.6–5.9 mV), narrow gap widths (less than 0.1 mV), high ICRN products (2.6–3.8 mV), and small subgap leakage current (Vm=40–96 mV). © 2001 American Institute of Physics.
