    Notes: Engineering stress-strain properties were determined for two polystyrene-polybutadiene-polystyrene (SBS) triblock copolymer elastomers, one consisting of blocks of molecular weight 7000/43000/7000 and the other, 16000/85000/17000. In addition, various blends of these two materials were prepared in order to vary the number-average molecular weight of the blocks in a systematic way while maintaining polystyrene content in the range of 25-28 wt %. Samples were solvent cast from benzene or benzene/heptane mixtures and annealed before testing. Ring specimens were extended to rupture at varying strain rates on an Instron tensile tester. Results indicate that number-average molecular weight has a marked influence on stress-strain behavior over the range of molecular weights and testing conditions employed. The observed behavior is consistent with a systematic increase in the proportion of a mixed interfacial region between the pure polystyrene and polybutadiene domain as molecular weight decreases. The interfacial region contributes to mechanical hystersis, rate sensitivity, and toughness in the SBS materials. Scanning electron photomicrographs of fracture surfaces also showed systematic changes with molecular weight.

    Notes: Two block copolymers of isotactic polypropylene and 1,4 polybutadiene were synthesized using techniques involving a transformation from anionic to Ziegler-Natta polymerization mechanisms. The yield of block copolymer was about fifteen percent (weight basis) in both polymerizations, the remainder being unreacted polybutadiene from the first block synthesis. Molecular characterization experiments and model reactions were consistent with a block-like structure for the copolymers; definitive evidence for the proposed molecular structure was obtained through transmission electron microscopy which clearly revealed microphase-separated morphologies characteristic of block copolymers.

    Notes: Use of promoter dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) in conjunction with initiator normal butyllithium has resulted in rapid and controllable ring-opening polymerization of 1,3,5-tris-(3′,3′,3′-trifluoro-propyl)1,3,5-trimethylcyclotrisiloxane at 40°C; monomer consumption rate can be varied by at least four orders of magnitude depending on the ratio of promoter-to-initiator concentrations. Compared to the sodium counterion also studied here, the lithium initiator slows the backbiting alkyl-reactions which cause degradation of polymer to cyclics containing four or more fluoroal-kylsiloxy units. This previously uninvestigated polymerization methodology offers greater opportunity for capturing high, nonequilibrium polymer yield of this fluoroalkylsiloxane through appropriately timed termination of the reaction. To facilitate this optimization, a kinetic model of the polymerization was developed by solving the isothermal, constant density rate expressions for a two-step, series mechanism. The solution to the coupled system of nonhomogeneous ordinary differential equations is obtained by matrix variation of parameters. The rate constants were determined by appropriate kinetic analysis of the experimental data obtained for polymer and cyclics concentrations as a function of time under various conditions. This results in a quantitative model capable of predicting optimum polymerization time to maximize the yield of poly(3,3,3-trifluoropropylmethylsiloxane) at ca. 85-90%.

    Notes: The active enzyme centrifugal-ion (AEC) method presented here permits the hydrodynamic study of active enzyme-substrate(s) complexes in solutions containing micro-gram amounts of the studied enzyme, even if the enzyme preparation is very impure. The AEC method can he used only when the specific enzymatie reaction can be measured directly in a spectrophotometer. The general equations relevant to the method and their solutions are presented in detail. Their use requires some numerical calculations. A practical summary of the AEC method is given, and the precision of the measured values of the sedimentation and diffusion coefficients is discussed.

    Notes: Diffusion, solubility, and permebility coefficients were measured for He, Co2, Ar, and CH4 in polybutadiene (PB) and in polybutadiene reacted in the solid state to various extents with aqueous bromine. Analysis of the sorption curves and X-ray emission spectra showed that the bromination created a heterogeneous membrane with an outer brominated skin and an unreacted core. At relatively low extent of bromination, the diffusion and permeability coefficients for CO2, Ar, and CH4 decreased by two orders of magnitude, while the transport coefficients for He were virtually unchanged. The permeability coefficients for CO2, Ar, and CH4 became immeasurably small after about 3% bromination. The ideal separation factor for gas pairs with different molecular size increased with bromination, suggesting applications in gas separation processes. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Over the temperature range of 20 to 90°C, the equilibrium solubility of methane or argon in a star-branched polystyrene-polybutadiene (SB) block copolymer can be reliably estimated from a volume-fraction-weighted average of the homopolymer solubilities; the value of heat of solution for SB block copolymer lies between the two values associated with the constituent homopolymers. Diffusion coefficients for gases in the block copolymer are bracketed by the homopolymer values over the range of temperature employed, but the activation energies for diffusion in SB are higher than either of the homopolymer values. The anomalous temperature dependence and the inability of a computer simulation to reproduce experimental diffusion coefficients supported the concept of a temperature-dependent restriction on chain mobility in the polybutadiene regions of the block copolymer. This β factor embodies the relative reduction in the rate of gas diffusion through the B regions of the copolymer compared to B homopolymer; β has a value of about 2-3 at room temperature but decreases to unity when the polystyrene chains become mobile at the polystyrene Tg.

    Notes: Various methods of hydrogenating ring opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) polymers were investigated as part of an effort to improve their stability and increase their usefulness as matrix materials for nanocluster synthesis. Hydrogenation with Pd/BaSO4 catalyst in high-pressure hydrogen gas was only partly successful and limited to unfunctionalized polymers such as polymethyltetracyclododecene. Block copolymers containing phosphine or carboxylic acid functionalities were successfully hydrogenated by diimide generated in situ from p toluenesulfonylhydrazide. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: A high molecular weight polymer mixture was obtained from a sequential Ziegler-Natta polymerization of styrene and propylene. After removing unwanted homopolymers from the reaction product, the remaining copolymer was subjected to extensive molecular and morphological characterization. The results of these experiments indicate that the purified material is a diblock copolymer of isotactic polystyrene and isotactic polypropylene, with each block having a molecular weight in the range of 225,000 g/mol. This block copolymer was incorporated in varying amounts into blends of isotactic polystyrene and isotactic polypropylene homopolymers. At low concentrations of copolymer (〈20 wt %), the diblock functions as a dispersing agent, significantly reducing the size of domains in the heterogeneous blends. At higher copolymer concentrations, a dramatic improvement in the adhesion across the domain boundaries is also observed. The favorable effects of the copolymer on mechanical properties are demonstrated in the results of tensile impact experiments.

    Notes: The rotating bed plasma reactor described here permits uniform surface modification of relatively large amounts of powder materials. Scale-up to even larger batches of solids appears to be feasible. Some preliminary experimental data on the plasma surface modification of polymer powders have been presented. The results show that the flow rate, time of treatment, and type of feed gas are important operating parameters which influence the final surface character. One particular application of plasma-modified polymer powders was explored; by crosslinking and/or chemically modifying only the outermost surface regions of these powders, various polymeric materials may be rendered useful for use in thermal storage slurries. The major advantage of the surface-modified plasma treated powders over the bulk-modified powders used previously is the retention of essentially all of the pristine polymer heat of fusion in the surface-modified materials.

    Notes: Liquid-phase sorption data are reported for the toluene-polyethylene system. The effects of fluorine plasma and inert-gas plasma treatments of the polymer surface were investigated. The presence of a fluorinated surface layer reduces initial solvent permeation rates, but the enhanced barrier property is lost when irreversible morphological changes occur during polymer swelling. A combination of chemical and morphological factors appears to be responsible for the observed temporary reduction in permeability; crosslinking of surface macromolecules was not a significant factor for the particular cases investigated in this work.
