    Notes: This work reports on the photodegradation of low-density polyethylene films formulated with titanium (IV) oxide actylacetonate (TAc) and titanium dioxide pigment in different proportions; no previous reports on the photoactivity of this acetylacotonate have been found. Samples of blow-extruded films were submitted to accelerated UV aging with fluorescent lamps and the polymer degradation measured. The changes in carbonyl groups, molecular weight, and film elongation at break are discussed. The results show that TAc can promote photooxidation and accelerate the film degradation. The retention percent of elongation at break (EB) is apparently proportional to the carbonyl index irrespective of the formulation but has different relations with molecular weight (Mn), time, or the number of chain scissions (n), probably as a result of microstructural differences. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    New directions in Mexican environmental policy (1992)
    Springer

    Notes: Abstract Since taking office 1 December 1988, Mexico's incumbent president, Carlos Salinas de Gortari, has introduced important innovations in environmental policy that distinguish his administration from those of his predecessors. Greater administrative continuity, improved regulatory capacity achieved through statutory change, focused priorities centering on pollution abatement in Mexico City, and an aggressive search for external financing for pollution control are hallmarks of Salinas' approach. The success of these environmental reforms depends heavily on economic recovery, however, and environmental policy still suffers from underfunding, bureaucratic fragmentation, and heavy reliance on voluntarist enforcement mechanisms. Recently, U.S. congressional debate on a proposed free trade agreement with Mexico has been a factor in spurring the Salinas government to take new antipollution and conservation measures. Mexico's growing environmental movement is also an important force behind the government's new responsiveness in environmental matters. The Salinas administration recognizes the issue's political salience and has sought to defuse environmental criticism using a large arsenal of resources at its disposal. Salinas' environmental policy strategy may thus be characterized as both proactive and reactive in nature. While the reforms are evidence that Mexico is beginning to take environmental matters more seriously, economic recovery and sustained environmental activism remain vital to further progress.

    Binational management of hazardous waste: The maquiladora industry at the US-Mexico border (1990)
    Springer
    Environmental management 14 (1990), S. 441-450 
    Details
    ISSN: 1432-1009

    Notes: Abstract Foreign-owned industry in the form of assembly plants, termed maquiladora, has become very important in Mexico to the extent that it represents the second largest source of foreign exchange and is a valuable source for employment and regional development. The economic prosperity gained from the rapid growth of the maquiladora industry has been accompanied by increased environmental and human health risks associated with generation of hazardous waste. Diversification of industry has resulted in the predomination of those sectors that likely use hazardous substances. The Mexicali-Calexico border region was selected to demonstrate the potential for environmental and health risks associated with the generation of hazardous waste. Estimates for the generation of hazardous waste were obtained from 34 maquiladora plants in Mexicali, represented by the electronic and electrical equipment and parts, mechanical and transportation equipment, and toys and sporting equipment sectors. Repeated detection of volatile organic compounds in the New River at the US-Mexico border suggests that hazardous waste from the printed circuit board industry in Mexicali is not being disposed of in a proper manner. Potential adverse health effects, such as carcinogenic and mutagenic responses associated with the detected volatiles, are discussed. US and Mexico national legislation and the Binational Environmental Agreement were examined for their adequacy to ensure proper management of hazardous waste generated by the maquiladora industry. Environmental policy options are presented that focus on: (1) increased environmental accountability of US parent companies for their maquiladora assembly plants in Mexico; and (2) more integration between US Customs and border states with the US Environmental Protection Agency to improve the binational management of hazardous waste generated by the maquiladora industry.

    Description / Table of Contents: Es werden Aspekte der Reaktion von Dextran mit Ethyl-chlorformiat und Triethylamin als Katalysator behandelt. Mittels 1H- und 13C NMR-Spektroskopie wurden in den gebildeten modifizierten Dextranen cyclische und acyclische Carbonatgruppen nachgewiesen. Vorversuche zeigten, daß die Reaktion cyclischer Carbonatgrupen mit verschiedenen Amin-Modellverbindungen stark vom Basencharakter des Amins abhängt. Phenethylamin und Tyramin wurden quantitativ an aktiviertes Dextran mit cyclischen Carbonatgruppen gebunden. Die Dextran-Phenethylamin- und Dextran-Tyramin-Addukte werden unter den angewendeten Bedingungen (pH 1,0 oder 9,1 bei 37°C) nicht heterogen hydrolysiert.
    Notes: This work deals with some features of the reaction of dextran with ethyl chloroformate using triethylamine as catalyst. The presence of cyclic and acyclic carbonate groups in the resulting modified dextrans was demonstrated by IR, 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy. Preliminary experiments have shown that the reaction of cyclic carbonate groups with several model amines is greatly dependent on the basic character of the amine. Model amino type drugs (Phenethylamine and tyramine) were quantitatively bound to activated dextran with cyclic carbonate groups. The heterogeneous hydrolysis of dextran-phenethylamine or dextran-tyramine adducts showed that no hydrolysis takes place under the applied conditions.

    Influence of reprocessing on the mechanical properties of a commercial polysulfone/polycarbonate blend (1992)
    Stamford, Conn. [u.a.] : Wiley-Blackwell
    Polymer Engineering and Science 32 (1992), S. 861-867

    Notes: Commercial polysulfone/polycarbonate (PSU/PC) polymer blends were reprocessed up to five times to determine the influence that reprocessing has on their structure and physical properties. All the high strain properties, mainly ductility, significantly decreased under harsh processing conditions, such as five cycles at 320°C. The results of reprocessing the blends at 320°C have been compared with results at a lower temperature and also with those of the separate components with the aim of clarifying the origin of the degradation. These results plus Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), dynamic mechanical analysis, and melt flow index measurements (MFI) indicate that the presence of the two polymers together clearly decreases the resistance to degradation of each component. Moreover, degradation under the stated conditions is mainly thermal and does not change the chemical nature of the blends. However, a clear decrease in molecular weight was observed both by viscosimetry and MFI measurements as was a shift to higher temperatures of the low temperature secondary transition of both PC and PSU. Both molecular weight and secondary transition changes usually deteriorate mechanical properties but not in the degree observed here. This probably means that the fine and difficult-to-observe structure of the blend has also changed.

    Notes: This work deals with the modification reaction of amylose with 1-naphthylacetyl chloride using pyridine as catalyst and the DMF/LiCl system as solvent. The structure of the resulting polymers was determined by IR, 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy. A linear dependence of the reaction rate on the concentration of polymer, 1-naphthylacetyl chloride and pyridine was found. The activation energy was found to be 32,4 kJ/mol. The hydrolysis in the heterogeneous phase showed that the release of the active compound from tablets is dependent on the hydrophilic character of the modified amylose as well as on the pH value of the medium.

    Notes: The modification reaction of poly(vinyl alcohol) with diethyl chlorophosphate and ethyl dichlorophosphate is studied in homogeneous phase using tertiary amines as catalysts. The structure of the modified polymers was determined by means of 1H and 31P{1H} nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy as well as by chemical analysis. The structure of the polymers resulting from the reaction with diethyl chlorophosphate greatly depends on the reaction temperature as well as the catalyst. For lower reaction temperatures (≤25°C) only acyclic phosphate ester groups were observed. The activation energy was found to be 24,9 kJ/mol. The presence of cyclic phosphate ester groups was found, when higher reaction temperatures (〉25°C) were used. These results can be interpreted considering the existence of transesterification reactions. Crosslinking structures were obtained in case ethyl dichlorophosphate was used instead of diethyl chlorophosphate.

    Tensorial resolution: A direct trilinear decomposition (1990)

    Notes: Modern instrumentation in chemistry routinely generates two-dimensional (second-order) arrays of data. Considering that most analyses need to compare several samples, the analyst ends up with a three-dimensional (third-order) array which is difficult to visualize or interpret with the conventional statistical tools.Some of these data arrays follow the so-called trilinear model, \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$$ {\rm R}_{ijk} = \sum\limits_{r = 1}^N {{\rm X}_{ir} {\rm Y}_{jr} {\rm Z}_{kr} + {\rm Error}_{ijk} } $$\end{document} These trilinear arrays of data are known to have unique factor analysis decompositions which correspond to the true physical factors that form the data, i.e. given the array ∝, a unique solution can be found in many cases for each order X, Y and Z. This is in contrast to the well-known second-order bilinear data factor analysis, where the abstract solutions obtained are not unique and at best cannot be easily compared with the underlying physical factors owing to a rotational ambiguity.Trilinear decompositions have had the disadvantage, however, that a non-linear optimization with many parameters is necessary to reach a least-squares solution. This paper will introduce a method for reducing the problem to a rectangular generalized eigenvalue-eigenvector equation where the eigenvectors are the contravariant form (pseudo-inverse) of the actual factors. It is shown that the method works well when the factors are linearly independent in at least two orders (e.g. Xir and Yjr are full rank matrices).Finally, it is shown how trilinear decompositions relate to multicomponent calibration, curve resolution and chemical analysis.

    Notes: Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) has been utilized in several studies on polymerization kinetics, at different heating rates. However, there are several factors affecting the precision of kinetic parameters. In this work, the activation energy of urethane-bond formation between 2,6-tolylene diisocyanate and diethylene glycol is reported, the latter being in excess in order to minimize problems such as thermal transitions and incomplete reaction in the final step. The DSC technique was applied at different heating rates. Both the equal conversion and equal conversion rate options of the method are discussed. The latter appears to be a more adequate option for the system studied here. The results obtained show a good agreement with the model used.
