    Notes: The thermotropic behavior of lipid vesicles prepared from dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine in the presence of cytochrome c oxidase has been studied by highly sensitive differential scanning microcalorimetry. This protein has a remarkable effect on the gel-liquid crystalline transition of dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine. In the presence of cytochrome c oxidase, the thermogram of the lipid vesicles exhibits a second endothermic peak, which is adjacent to the main lipid phase-transition peak and appears at a higher temperature. As the concentration of added protein increases, the two endothermic peaks become further separated, and the transition temperatures and the heats of transition corresponding to both endothermic peaks decrease. A greater decrease in the transition temperature at the lower-temperature peak with added protein suggests that the lower-temperature peak is more perturbed than the higher-temperature peak. The higher-temperature peak is not thermally reversible. Treatment of sample well above the transition temperature results in a reduction of the magnitude of the higher-temperature peak. The lipid-protein interaction contributing to the higher-temperature peak is discussed.

    Notes: A series of poly(4-hydroxybenzoate-co-p-phenylene isophthalate)s (1) was prepared by melt polycondensation of 4-acetoxybenzoic acid, p-phenylene diacetate, and isophthalic acid followed by solid state polymerization. The thermal properties of the as-made samples were found to be significantly different from the second run thermal properties. The copolyesters with the same thermal history were annealed at 270°C in the DSC at various time intervals, and the thermal properties were further determined by DSC. For different compositions, annealing had different effects on the thermal properties of the copolyesters. With increasing annealing time the transition temperature and transition heat of 1 containing 50 and 60 mol-% of monomeric units (m. u.) of 4-hydroxybenzoic acid (HBA50 and HBA60) were found to increase. The second run DSC curves of HBA40, HBA30 and HBA20 (containing 40, 30 and 20 mol-% of 4-hydroxybenzoic acid m. u.) show two endotherms; transition heat and transition temperature of the lower temperature transition increase with the annealing time, but the transition heat of the higher temperature transition decreases. Finally, only one endotherm was observed for long-time annealing. The difference in thermal properties between the as-made sample and the second run could be described as annealing effect during solid state polymerization.

    The solubility of gases and volatile liquids in polyethylene and polyisobutylene at elevated temperatures (1985)
    New York, NY [u.a.] : Wiley-Blackwell

    Notes: The solubility of gases and volatile liquids in low-density polyethylene (LDPE) and polyisobutylene (PIB) at elevated temperatures has been correlated, using the experimental data available in the literature. In the present study, a Henry's constant Kp at a total pressure of approximately 1 atm defined as P1 = KPV10, where P1 is the partial pressure of the solute in the vapor phase and V10 is the solubility (cm3 solute/g polymer at 273.2 K and 1 atm), is correlated for nonpolar solutes with the following expressions: (1) For LDPE, ln(1/KP) = -1.561 + (2.057 + 1.438ω) (Tc/T)2; (2) For PIB, ln(1/Kp) = -1.347 + (1.790 + 1.568ω) (Tc/T)2, in which ω is the acentric factor and Tc the critical temperature of the solute. In obtaining the above correlations we have used 27 solutes covering 115 data points for LDPE, and 18 solutes covering 148 data points for PIB. We have calculated values of 1/Kp from the literature data reported in terms of the retention volume (Vg0), weight-fraction Henry's constant (H1), activity coefficient at infinite dilution (Ω1∞), Flory-Huggins interaction parameter (χ), or V10/P obtained from high pressure sorption experiments. The correlations obtained in this study permit one to estimate with reasonable accuracy the solubility of gases and volatile liquids in either LDPE or PIB, with information on the acentric factor (ω) and critical temperature (Tc) only. The relationship for LDPE is also applicable for solubilities in high-density polyethylene. Relationships for the heat of vaporization of solutes from infinitely dilute LDPE or PIB solutions are also derived from the temperature variation of 1/Kp.

    Notes: 2,2'-Dimethyl-4,4'-diamino-biphenyl was used to prepare a lyotropic amine-terminated polyamide (PBTA) prepolymer with terephthaloyl dichloride, and an amide oligomer with reactive endcaps of maleimide, respectively. The former was employed in an attempt to increase the solubility of PA/PI block copolymers, and the latter to produce a three-dimensional (isotropic) reinforced molecular composite through the technology of a semiinterpenetrating polymer network (semi-IPN). PBTA prepolymer was copolymerized with an amine-terminated polyimide via a coupling reaction using terephthaloyl dichloride. The resultant block copolymers were characterized by IR, NMR, ηinh and GPC to confirm that the copolymerization reaction was precisely accomplished, as well as to determine their composition and molecular weight. Thermal analysis and lyotropic behavior were also studied for these copolymers. Rigid-rod amide oligomer was crosslinked in the presence of another flexible polyimide. Five sets of semi-IPN films were prepared under varying compositions. The curing conditions were investigated by DSC; in addition, the cured semi-IPNs exhibited a single phase (1 Tg) according to examination by an instrument for thermally stimulated current (TSC). No large-scale phase separation was observed in SEM images of the fractured surfaces. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: The photochemical polymerization rates of isoprene, ethyl methacrylate, and of styrene in various aromatic solvents were measured. The average lifetimes of propagating radicals were measured by the rotating sector method. The polymerization rate constants, Kp, were determined and compared with dipole moments (μ) and Hammett σ constants for the aromatic solvents. Linear correlations of log(kp/kp, benzene) vs. μ and σ were obtained.

    Destruction and removal of toluene and MEK from gas streams with silent discharge plasmas (1997)

    Notes: The effectiveness of applying silent discharge plasmas (SDP) for destroying and removing volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from gas streams is experimentally evaluated with a laboratory-scale reactor. The VOCs selected for study include toluene and methyl ethyl ketone (MEK). Direct collision with energetic electrons and reaction with generated gas-phase radicals are two major mechanisms responsible for destruction and removal of VOCs from gas streams. Operating parameters investigated include applied voltage, gas residence time, and temperature and composition of the gas stream. Experimental results indicate that the removal efficiency of toluene and MEK achieved with SDP can be enhanced by operating the system at a higher gas temperature and applied voltage due to the generation of more energetic electrons and radicals. O2 is essential for removing VOCs from gas streams with SDP. More than 80% removal efficiencies were achieved with this system for both toluene and MEK. SDP can potentially serve as an alternative control technology for removing VOCs from gas streams.

    Toughening behavior of elastomer-modified polycarbonates based on the j-integral (1992)

    Notes: The J-integral method to determine the fracture toughness of tough and ductile polymeric materials previously developed has been applied to the elastomer-modified polycarbonates. This investigation compares three different methods to obtain Jc: the conventional crack growth length, the stress whitening zone, and the newly developed hysteresis method. Jc values obtained from these three comparative methods are fairly close. The hysteresis method has the advantage over the other two methods of obtaining Jc without requiring the measurement of the crack growth length or the stress whitening zone, therefore avoiding the controversy in defining crack blunting. Results also indicate that the effect of elastomer quantity in polycarbonate on Jc is insignificant as long as the crack is in a stable condition. Higher elastomer contents in polycarbonate result in higher dJ/dΔa, dJ/dΔl, and tearing modulus (Tm). This indicates that the elastomer toughening mechanism is due to the increase of the energy required for crack growth extension. The hysteresis loss energy is directly related to the size of the crack tip plastic zone, and the presence of more elastomer indeed increases the crack tip plastic zone, thus making the polycarbonate tougher. Besides, the presence of elastomer tends to increase the crack initiation displacement and shift the failure modes from an unstable fracture. Jc and the criterion for crack initiation based on rate change of hysteresis energy are discussed in detail.

    Fracture toughness of acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene by J-integral methods (1995)

    Notes: The fracture toughness of acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) was determined by three J-integral methods, ASTM E813-81, E813-87, and by hysteresis. The critical J values (J1c) obtained are fairly independent of the specimen thickness, ranging from 10 to 15 mm. ASTM E813-81 and hysteresis methods result in comparable J1c values, whereas the ASTM E813-87 was ∼40% to 50% higher. The critical displacement determined from the plots of hysteresis (energy or ratio) and the true crack grow length vs. displacement are close. This indicates the critical displacement determined by the hysteresis method is indeed the displacement at onset of crack initiation, and the corresponding J1c represents a physical event of crack initiation. The elastic storage energy. The input energy minus the hysteresis energy, is the most important factor in determining the onset of crack initiation. The critical elastic storage energy (at the beginning of crack growth) was found close to the J1c obtained from the E813-81 or the hysteresis method.

    Notes: The block copolyetheresters with hard segments of poly(butylene terephthalate) and soft segments of poly(tetramethylene ether) were prepared by a terephthalic acid (TPA) process in the presence of some salts. The preparations of a block copolyetherester under various conditions were first studied in a 1 L stainless steel reactor to find the best method. Then, the preparations of four block copolyetheresters were run in a pilot plant comprising a 200 L polyesterification reactor and a 200 L polymerization reactor under the suitable condition. The presence of some salts reduced the formation of tetrahydrofuran (THF), and also reduced the total reaction time in the pilot plant. The thermal properties and various mechanical properties of the block copolytheresters prepared by the pilot plant were investigated to evaluate the feasibility of this method.

    Notes: The transamidation reaction converts the carbonate and amine into N-aliphatic aromatic carbamate and urea, causing the equivalent of oxirane and amine nonstoichiometric in the primary cure stage. After postcure, the substitution reaction takes place and results in a more tightly crosslinked structure. Such a higher crosslinking density is responsible for higher Tg, tensile strength, and tensile modulus in the postcure stage than that in the primary and secondary cure stages. This trend is more pronounced in those PC-epoxy blends containing higher molecular weight aliphatic amine or a higher content of PC. This phenomenon is due to the difference in the fraction of amino group of aliphatic amine consumed in the transamidation. PC-epoxy/aliphatic amine blends show minor improvement in the high strain rate Izod impact tests, while toughness improvement for some blends is substantial at low strain rate tensile tests. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
