    Notes: The market development of bisphenol-A-polycarbonate has shown higher growth than any other engineering thermoplastic. The reasons can be found in the permanent improvement of the cost/performance-relationship and in the technical use of the variability of the basic structure. Incorporation of specific monomer units leads to tailor-made properties for a wide range of applications, as for example medical devices, electronic parts and glazing.This process has not yet slowed down, rather it is accelerated by new results from research and development. The improvement of flaw behavior and pit replication for new grades of materials for the next generation of compact discs, new grades that can be sterilized by γ-radiation without degradation and the microstructuring by low-energy laser systems are examples for the ongoing expansion of polycarbonate applications. Surface modification by hardcoatings with nanosized particles will allow to enter the fast growing market of glazing.

    Description / Table of Contents: Polyamide, Polyester und Polyoxymethylen sind mit einem weltweiten Verbrauch von derzeit 2,4 Mio t pro Jahr wichtige technische Kunststoffe. Sie werden aufgrund ihrer besonderen Eigenschaftsprofile überwiegend im Fahrzeugbau und in der Elektroindustrie für hochbelastete Funktionsbauteile eingesetzt. Der vorliegende Beitrag behandelt Polymerisationswege, Eigenschaften und ausgewählte neue Entwicklungen dieser Polymerklassen.Teilaromatische Polyamide stoßen durch ihre Dimensionsstabilität und thermische Belastbarkeit in Anwendungen vor, die bisher Duromeren oder Metallen vorbehalten waren. Glasfaserverstärkte Polyamide mit besonders hoher Dauerwärmebeständigkeit übemehmen wichtige Funktionen im Motorbereich von Fahrzeugen. Polyamid-Blends sind als Karosseriewerkstoffe ein Schlüssel zu leichten Autos mit niedrigem Treibstoffverbrauch. Halogenfrei flammgeschützte Polyamide erhöhen Sicherheit und Umweltverträglichkeit in brandgefährdeten Anwendungsbereichen.Polybutylenterephthalat als technisch wichtigster Polyester eröffnet in Mischung mit amorphen Polymeren neue Perspektiven durch geringerenVerzug und bessere Oberfläche bei glasfaserverstärkten Teilen. Polybutylennaphthalat erweitert den Anwendungsbereich zu höheren Temperaturen. Von Polybutylenterephthalat abgeleitete Copolyester sind biologisch abbaubar und daher vielversprechend für kompostierbare Folien.Polyoxymethylen-Copolymere haben ihre Stärke in der günstigen Kombination aus Steifigkeit, Dimensionsstabilität, Gleit/Reibe-Verhalten und Beständigkeit gegen heißes Wasser und Kraftstoff.Aufgrund ihres hohen und noch weiter steigerungsfähigen Leistungsvermögens werden Polyamide, Polyester und Polyoxymethylen das in den letzten Jahren gezeigte Wachstum in Zukunft weiter ausbauen können.
    Notes: Polyamide, polyester and polyoxymethylene having presently a worldwide sales volume of 2,4 million tons a year are important engineering thermoplastics. Based on their special property profiles they are mainly used in the automotive and electronic industry for high performance functional parts. This contribution presents polymerisation processes, properties, and selected new developments for these polymer classes.Semiaromatic polyamides due to their dimensional stability and thermal resistance lend themselves to applications which were so far reserved for thermosets or metals. Glass fiber reinforce polyamides designed to have the highest possible heat ageing resistance can take important functions under the hood. A polyamide blend used as a material for exterior body parts is key to light weight cars with strongly reduced fuel consumption. Halogene free flame retardant polyamide increases fire safety and environmental safety in flame sensitive applications.Polybutyleneterephthalate as the technically most important polyester offers new perspectives in blends with amorphous polymers leading to lower distortion and better surface quality in glass fiber reinforced parts. Polybutylenenaphthalate is widening the range of application of polyesters towards higher temperatures. Copolyesters derived from polybutyleneterephthalate are biologically degradable and are therefore promising materials for fermentable foils.Polyoxymethylene copolymers show an outstanding combination of stiffness, dimensional stability, friction and wear as well as resistance against hot water and fuel.As a result of their excellent properties and the existing potential for further improvements polyamide, polyester and polyoxymethylene will continue to grow above average in the future.

    Notes: The world-wide production of polyurethanes has exceeded 6 mio. metric tons in 1994. Compared with the produced amounts of large-scale thermoplastics such as PE, PVC, PP and PS, polyurethanes keep the 5th place.Polyurethanes (PUR) are segmented polymers, which can be synthesized from preformed building blocks in a modular unit construction system. The chemical modules and the various possibilities of combination will be discussed here.Tailor-made polyurethane materials can be divided into two main-fields of application: foams and compact PUR.The main constituents of polyurethane materials are diisocyanates and polyols. These key- chemicals are well characterised with respect to their technological, economical and ecological properties. Taking into account the availability, the masses of production and the experiences that have been collected with the PUR main constituents, these PUR precursors seem to be very mature already.In contrast to this, the PUR-materials made from these building blocks still offer numerous novel problem-solutions, resulting from the variability of the diisocyanate-poly-addition reaction: PUR materials are most commonly segmented into several phases. The formation of hard- and softsegments can be easily demonstrated by looking at thermoplastic polyurethanes (TPU). A deeper understanding of this phase separation and the molecular organisation within these materials promises to realize prospectic polymeric architectures with new and improved properties. PUR materials will still be able to offer new answers to future requirements in balancing economical and ecological needs. By looking at the life-cycles of soft and hard-foams, polyurethane-coatings and thermoplastic PUR-elastomers, this contribution will adress the question: “Is PUR-chemsitry still a challenging field?”

    Description / Table of Contents: Die Zugabe von 10-20 Gew.-% Kaliumnitrat (KN03) zu Polyamid 6 (PA 6) vermindert die Brennbarkeit des Polymeren. Das thermische Verhalten der KN03/PA 6-Mischung wurde mittels Thermogravimetrie, Differentialkalorimetrie und Analyse der fluchtigen Anteile untersucht. Feste Zersetzungsprodukte der Mischung wurden mittels Infrarotspektroskopie, Rontgendiffraktometrie und Elektronenresonanzspek-'troskopie analysiert. Es wurde gefunden, daß KNO3 dem Flielßen und Tropfen der Schmelze vorbeugt und die Karbonisierung auf der Oberflache des Polymeren fordert. Das verringert die Brandgefahr und verbessert die Feuerbestandigkeit. Andererseits geht KNO3 mit PA 6 in der kondensierten Phase eine exotherme Reaktion ein und setzt Sauerstoff frei, der wiederum die Brennbarkeit von PA 6 begiinstigt. Der Mechanismus der chemischen Wechselwirkung van KNO3 mit PA 6 wird diskutiert.
    Notes: The addition of 10-20 wt.-% of potassium nitrate (KNO3) to polyamide 6 (PA 6) improves the fire retardance of the polymer. The thermal decomposition behaviour of the PA 6/KN03-mixture was studied using thermogravimetry, differential scanning calorimetry and thermal volatilisation analysis. Solid products of the thermal decomposition of the mixture were analysed by infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction and electron paramagnetic resonance. It was found that KNO, prevents flowing and dripping of the melt and promotes charring on the surface of the polymer which decreases its fire hazard and improves its fire retardance. On the other hand, KNO3 exothermally reacts with PA 6 in the condensed phase and supplies oxygen to the gas phase which increases the combustibility of PA 6. The mechanism of the chemical interaction of KN03 with PA 6 is discussed.

    Description / Table of Contents: Der Einfluß einer Beimischung von Tricalciumphosphat (TCP), Hydroxyethylmethacrylat (HEMA) und Ethylenglycoldimethacrylat (EGDMA) auf die Eigenschaften eines chirurgischen Knochenzements wurde untersucht. Die in Zugversuchen entstandenen Bruchflächen wurden mittels Rasterelektronenmikroskopie charakterisiert. Der Einfluß der Additive auf den Temperaturanstieg während der Polymerisation wurde geprüft. Zug-, Biege- und Druckfestigkeit des ausgehärteten Zements nahmen mit zunehmendem TCP-Gehalt ab, der Elastizitätsmodul stieg dagegen an. Die Zugfestigkeit nahm mit steigendem HEMA-Gehalt geringfügig zu und blieb oberhalb 15 Gew.-% HEMA konstant. Zug-, Biege- und Druckfestigkeit zeigten bei einem EGDMA-Gehalt von 2 Gew.-% (in HEMA) ein Maximum. HEMA und EGDMA beschleunigten die Polymerisation, wogegen TCP retardierend wirkte.
    Notes: The effects of the addition of tricalcium phosphate (TCP), hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA), and ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA) on the properties of standard surgical Simplex-P radiopaque bone cement have been investigated. The fracture surface after tensile test was studied by scanning electron microscopy. The influence of these components on the temperature rise during polymerization was investigated. It was found that the tensile strength, the bending strength, and the compressive strength decreased with increasing TCP content, whereas the inverse was observed for the Young's modulus. The tensile strength slightly increased with increasing HEMA content and then it levelled off when the HEMA content was higher than 15 wt.-%. It seemed that there were maximum tensile, bending and compressive strengths when 2 wt.-% EGDMA (in HEMA) was added. Polymerization occurred more rapidly when HEMA and EGDMA were added, whereas the inverse result was found with TCP.

    Description / Table of Contents: Polyurethanelastomere wurden in Gegenwart von zwei Dihydroxynaphthalin(DHN)-Verbindungen und deren bromierter Derivate als Kettenverlängerer hergestellt. Als Polyole wurden Polycaprolactondiol und Polytetramethylenglykol und als Diisocyanat-Komponenten Diphenylmethandiisocyanat (MDI) und Dicyclohexylmethan-4,4′-diisocyanat (HMDI) eingesetzt. Der Einfluß der Struktur der Kettenverlängerer auf die physikalischen und thermischen Eigenschaften der Polyurethane wurde untersucht. Wegen der besseren Phasenmischungswirkung der 1,5-DHN-Segmente haben die damit hergestellten Polyurethane höhere Glasübergangstemperaturen und bessere dynamische Eigenschaften als die Polyurethane auf 2,7-DHN-Basis. Der Einbau von bromierten DHN-Einheiten erschwert die Entflammbarkeit. Durch das große freie Volumen der Bromatome wird jedoch die Rotation der DHN-Einheiten eingeschränkt, was zu Polyurethanen mit verringerten Phasenmischungs- und Kristallisationsgraden führt. Die bromhaltigen Polyurethane zeigen zudem eine Verschlechterung der mechanischen und physikalischen Eigenschaften und eine erhöhte Löslichkeit.
    Notes: Polyurethane elastomers were synthesized based on polyols such as poly(caprolactonediol) and poly(tetramethylene glycol), diisocyanates such as diphenylmethane-4,4′-diisocyanate (MDI) and dicyclohexylmethane-4,4′-diisocyanate (HMDI), and two dihydroxynaphthalenes (DHNs) and their brominated derivatives used as chain extenders. The effects of the chemical structures of the chain extenders on the physical and thermal properties of the polyurethanes were investigated. Because of the higher degree of phase mixing of the 1,5-DHN unit, the 1,5-DHN-based polyurethanes have higher Tg values and higher dynamic properties than 2,7-DHN-based polyurethanes. Introduction of bromine atoms increased the flame retardance. However, the large free volume of bromine atoms restricted the rotation of DHNs, thus, directly decreasing the degree of phase-mixing and crystallinity of the polyurethanes. Introducing bromine atoms also decreased the mechanical and dynamic properties and increased the solubility of the polyurethanes.

    Description / Table of Contents: Aus Poly(oxytetramethylen), 4,4′-Bibenzyldiisocyanat, N-Methyldiethanolamin als Kettenverlängerer und Acrylsäure/Polyacrylsäure als Quaternisierungsagens wurden Poly(etherurethan)-Kationomere hergestellt. In aus diesen Kationomeren hergestellten Filmen wurde Pyrrol (15 Gew.-%) in Gegenwart von CuCl2 polymerisiert. Die Filme wurden mittels dynamisch-mechanischer Analyse, Thermogravimetrie und Differentialthermoanalyse charakterisiert. Die elektrische Leitfähigkeit beträgt für den Film ohne Polypyrrol 7.5 · 10-12 Ω-1 cm-1 und mit Polypyrrol 4.5 · 10-6 Ω-1 cm-1.
    Notes: Poly(ether urethane) cationomers based on poly(oxytetramethylene), 4,4′-bibenzyldiisocyanate, N-methyldiethanolamine as chain extender, and acrylic acid/poly(acrylic acid) as quaternization agent were synthesized. Pyrrole (15 wt.%%) was polymerized in films of the ionomer containing CuCl2. The films were characterized by dynamic mechanical analysis, thermogravimetry and differential scanning calorimetry. The electric conductivity of the film without polypyrrole is 7.5 · 10-12 Ω-1 cm-1, while incorporation of polypyrrole increases the conductivity to 4.5 · 10-6 Ω-1 cm-1.

Die erhaltenen opaken Methacrylate mit Schmelzpunkten zwischen 45 und 80°C wurden in Substanz bzw. Toluollösung in Gegenwart von Radikalinitiatoren polymerisiert. Die Polymeren zeichnen sich durch eine breite Molmassenverteilung aus. Im Gegensatz zur Substanzpolymerisation ist der Doppelbindungsumsatz nach der Lösungspolymerisation nahezu vollständig. Aufgrund der hohen Molmasse der Monomeren ist der beobachtete Polymerisationsschrumpf sehr gering. Polymerisate mit Vernetzermonomeren zeigen eine verbesserte mechanische Stabilität.
    Notes: Waxy monomers and crosslinkers, respectively, were synthesized from commercially available waxes by esterification with 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate, glycerol dimethacrylate, or glycidyl methacrylate or by functionalization with 2-isocyanatoethyl methacrylate. The resulting opaque methacrylates with melting points between 45 and 80°C were polymerized in bulk and in toluene solution in presence of free radical initiators. The obtained polymers were characterized by a broad molecular weight distribution. Opposite to the bulk polymerization, the double bond conversion in solution polymerization is nearly quantitative. The observed volume shrinkage during polymerization is very low due to the high molecular weight of the monomers. Polymerizates containing crosslinking comonomers exhibit improved mechanical stability.

    Description / Table of Contents: The stabilized free-radical precipitation polymerization of the cationic monomer N-(2-methacryloyloxyethyl)-N,N-dimethylbenzylammonium chloride (MADAMBQ) in aqueous solutions of sodium chloride was studied by reaction calorimetry. Poly(ethylene oxide) was used as stabilizer. The rate of polymerization reaches its maximum immediately after initiation and remains nearly constant up to 50 % conversion followed by a decrease that could be described by a first order kinetics. The particles formed are approximately 1 to 30 μm in diameter and are stable over a period of several months.A model based on the theory of homogeneous particle nucleation is suggested to describe the kinetic course of polymerization, taking into account the rate of polymerization in both phases. With the assumption that the concentration of monomer in the phases is determined by a Nernst distribution law, the kinetics of the early stage of polymerization can be modelled reasonably well.The solution polymerization and the unstabilized precipitation polymerization of MADAMBQ was also studied.
    Notes: Die Kinetik der stabilisierten Fällungspolymerisation des kationischen Monomeren N-(2-Methacryloyloxyethyl)-N,N-dimethylbenzylammoniumchlorid (MADAMBQ) in wäßrigen Natriumchlorid-Lösungen wurde mittels Reaktionskalorimetrie untersucht. Polyethylenoxid höherer Molmasse wurde als Stabilisator eingesetzt. Die Reaktionsgeschwindigkeit ist über einen größeren Umsatzbereich nahezu konstant und fällt anschließend mit dem Umsatz annähernd linear ab. Die Teilchengrößenverteilung der gebildeten Dispersion ist bimodal mit Teilchen von etwa 1 bis 30 μm Durchmesser.Zur Beschreibung des Geschwindigkeitsverlaufs der Fällungspolymerisation wird ein Modell vorgeschlagen, das die Polymerisation in der Wasser- sowie in der Polymerphase berücksichtigt. Die Teilchenbildung soll durch homogene Nukleierung erfolgen. Es wird angenommen, daß die Konzentration des Monomeren in den Phasen durch ein Nernstsches Verteilungsgleichgewicht bestimmt wird. Zu Vergleichszwecken wurde auch die Polymerisation von MADAMBQ in Lösung und als nicht stabilisierte Fällungspolymerisation durchgeführt.

Die Pfropfreaktion wurde sowohl in Gegenwart eines äußeren Magnetfeldes (0,15-0,35 T) als auch ohne Magnetfeld durchgeführt. Der Einfluß von Monomerkonzentration, Initiatorkonzentration, Polymerisationszeit und temperatur sowie der magnetischen Feldstärke auf den Polymerisationsverlauf wurde untersucht. Es wurde festgestellt, daß der Pfropfumsatz mit zunehmender Feldstärke signifikant ansteigt.
    Notes: Cellulose powder obtained from oak furfural lignocellulose by nitration reaction was grafted with acrylamide using a radical initiation. The grafting reactions were carried out and compared both in presence and in absence of a continuous external magnetic field with the intensity extended between 0.15-0.35 T. The effect of monomer and initiator concentration, time and temperature of reaction and magnetic field intensity onto the grafting process were examined. It was observed that the presence of a magnetic field leads to a significant increase of the graft conversion.

    Description / Table of Contents: Poly(L-milchsäure) ist ein biokompatibler, semikristalliner, thermoplastischer Polyester mit ungünstigen mechanischen Eigenschaften. Daher wurde in einem “reactive blending”-Prozeß ein Acrylkautschuk, n-Butylacrylat, mittels einer Suspensionspolymerisation in Wasser auf in einem organischen Lösungsmittel gelöste Poly(L-milchsäure) gepfropft. Die gebildeten Copolymeren konnten isoliert und durch NMR-Spektroskopie und DSC-Messungen charakterisiert werden. Die Untersuchung der mechanischen Eigenschaften ergab keine befriedigenden Ergebnisse, weil die Kautschukphase wahrscheinlich aus viskosen linearen Makromolekülen besteht und daher keine elastischen Eigenschaften besitzt. In weiteren Arbeiten soll der Syntheseweg so modifiziert werden, daß durch den Einbau von Diacrylaten eine zumindest partielle Vernetzung der Kautschukphase erreicht wird.
    Notes: Poly(L-lactic acid) is a biocompatible polyester, semicrystalline, thermoplastic, with low versatility in mechanical properties. To overcome this problem, a reactive blending procedure was performed by grafting an acrylic rubber, n-butyl acrylate, via water suspension polymerization onto poly(L-lactic acid) dissolved in an organic solvent. It was possible to isolate the copolymeric phase formed from the two polymers and characterize it by using NMR and DSC techniques. Mechanical tests on blends gave no satisfactory response, probably because the rubbery phase is composed essentially of viscous linear macromolecules, not able to perform elastic properties. Work is in progress to modify the synthetic pathway to incorporate diacrylates in order to realize a rubbery phase at least partially cross-linked.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zur Entwicklung von neuen Styrol-Butadien-Kautschuken (SBRs) für Reifenanwendungen sind mehrere Arten von Zinn-Polymer-Bindungen (Styryl-, Butadienyl-, Isoprenyl- and α-Methylstyryl-Zinn) sowohl in linearen als auch in verzweigten Ketten untersucht worden. Die dynamisch-mechanischen Eigenschaften von Vulkanisaten mit Ruß wurden analysiert, um eine Beziehung zwischen den Strukturparametern der Polymeren und den Materialeigenschaften herzustellen. Der Polymer-Füll-stoff-Wechselwirkungsparameter, der durch das Verhältnis von mechanischen und dynamischen Termen definiert ist, wurde zur Charakterisierung der Verbindungen herangezogen. Der Einbau von verschiedenen Zinn-Polymer-Bindungen in lineare und in verzweigte SBR-Ketten bewirkte eine Verbesserung der Hystereseeigenschaf-ten der Vulkanisate und eine Veranderung des Wechselwirkungsparameters.
    Notes: Following the development of new SBRs for tyre applications, several kinds of tin-polymer bonds (styryl-, butadienyl-, isoprenyl- and α-methylstyryltin) have been studied, in both branched and linear chains.Dynamic-mechanical properties of the carbon black vulcanizates have been analyzed to establish a relationship between structural parameters of polymers and compound properties. The filler-polymer interaction parameter, defined by a ratio of mechanical and dynamic terms, has been used for the evaluation of the compounds. The introduction of different types of tin-polymer bonds, in branched and linear chains of the SBRs, implies an improvement in the hysteresis properties of the vulcanizates as well as a modification of the interaction parameter.

    Description / Table of Contents: Copoly (amid-ether) rnit zwei unteschiedlichen Aminfunktionalitäten wurden als antistatische Modifikatoren für Polyethylenterephthalatfasern (PET) eingesetzt. Die tertiären Aminogruppen schmelzegesponnener Copolymerfilamente wurden rnit drei Alkylierungsmitteln umgesetzt, wobei ein Sulfobetain, ein Carbobetain bzw. Ammoniumionen gebildet wurden. Dadurch wurde der scheinbare spezifische Widerstand der Filamente auf größfienordnungsmäßfiig 106 bis 108 Ω/cm verringert. Da sich die quaternisierten Copolymeren beim Blend-Spinnen rnit PET zersetzen, wurden Blendfasern von PET mit einem Copolymeren nach dem Schmelzespinnen einer Quaternisierung oder Vernetzung rnit Alkylierungsmitteln bzw. Epoxyvernetzern unterzogen, was die antistatischen Eigenschaften der Fasern im Vergleich rnit der unbehandelten Faser verbesserte. Insbesondere die mit Epoxiden vernetzten Fasern wiesen antistatische Eigenschaften auf, wie sie mit dieser Modifizierungsmethode bislang nicht erreicht wurden. Die antistatischen Eigenschaften blieben nach dem Fkben erhalten, da sowohl die hydrophilen als auch die ionischen Gruppen auf der Faseroberflache immobilisiert waren. Da Quaternisierung bzw. Vernetzung in einem Arbeitsgang rnit dem Verspinnen und Verstrecken der Fasern innerhalb einer kurzen Reaktionszeit erfolgen, sollte diese “spin-finishing„ genannte Methode konventio- nellen Verfahren bezuglich Kosten und Produktivitat uberlegen sein.
    Notes: Copoly(amide-ethers) containing two types of tertiary amine units were made as antistatic modifiers for poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) fibers. The filaments of the copolymers were melt-spun and reacted with three alkylating agents in order to quaternize the tertiary amine into a sulfo-betaine, a carbobetaine, and an ammonium ion. The apparent electric resistivity of the filaments was greatly reduced by this reaction, being in the range of 106 to 108 Ω/cm. However, because these quaternized copolymers incurred decomposition during blend spinning with PET, a blend PET fiber containing one type of copoly(amide-ether) was melt-spun and subjected to quaternization of the amino groups as well as to surface crosslinking with various alkylating and epoxy agents. The quaternized blend fibers obtained showed improved antistatic properties compared with the original blend fiber. Particularly, the fibers crosslinked with epoxy compounds were found to have the best antistatic properties that had ever been attained with this type of modification. The antistatic properties were retained even after dyeing, because both hydrophilic and ionic groups had been effectively immobilized on the surface. Since this quaternization and crosslinking could be conducted on-line with spinning and drawing within a short reaction time, this modification technique is called “spin-finishing method”, which should be superior to the conventional methods in terms of cost performance and productivity.

    Description / Table of Contents: Filme aus Polyethylen niedriger Dichte (LDPE) wurden mit rauchender Salpetersäure behandelt. Die Oberflächeneigenschaften sowie die Bildung polarer Gruppen wie auf der geätzten Filmoberfläche wurden mit SEM-, IR- und XPS-Methoden analysiert. Die mechanische Festigkeit eines aus dem geätzten LDPE-Film und einem Epoxidharz hergestellten Laminats sowie die Bedruckbarkeit der geätzten Oberflächen wurden untersucht und mit einer unbehandelten Probe verglichen. Die Oberflächenrauhigkeit und die Gegenwart polarer Gruppen erhöhen die mechanische Festigkeit des Laminats aus dem geätzten Film durch mechanische Verankerung und chemischer Wechselwirkungen. Die Oberfläche des behandelten LDPE-Films ist besser bedruckbar als die des unbehandelten Films.
    Notes: Low-density polyethylene (LDPE) films were treated with fuming nitric acid (FNA). The surface characteristics and also the insertion of polar groups like on the etched LDPE film surface were measured by SEM, IR and XPS analyses, respectively. The mechanical performance of a laminate of the etched film with epoxy resin and also the printability of the etched film surface were tested and compared with the unetched sample. The surface roughening and the presence of polar groups enhance the mechanical strength of the laminate of FNA-treated film due to mechanical interlocking and chemical interaction. The printability of the treated film surface is also superior to that of the untreated LDPE film surface.

    Description / Table of Contents: This paper reports on polymer membranes characterized by a surface layer of hydroxyalkyl derivatives of cellulose. Water compatible polymers like hydroxyalkyl derivatives of cellulose are preferably those exhibiting good chemical stability and desired membrane characteristics. Normally, water-compatible polymers used in the coating solutions must be rendered water-insoluble after coating. By adapting crosslinking conditions on separation problems, the membranes are useful for many processes in the fields of biotechnology, food and chemical industry.The membranes presented here possess the advantage of being highly resistant to chemical and biological degradation and, hence, have long lifetimes under many process conditions.
    Notes: Es wird die Entwicklung hydrophiler Polymermembranen diskutiert, die nach Beschichtung mit Celluloseethern und anschließender Vernetzung auf den asymmetrischen Trägermembranen interessante Permeations- und Trenneigenschaften bei hervorragenden chemischen Stabilitäten, vor allem beim Membrantrennverfahren der Nanofiltration, aufzeigen. Weiterhin werden Aussagen zu den Gastrenneigenschaften der Celluloseetherkompositmembranen getroffen.Erläutert werden die Permeations- und Trenndaten der Kompositmembranen in Korrelation zur Vernetzung der Celluloseether anhand verschiedener Einflußgrößen, was qualitative und gegebenenfalls quantitative Aussagen zum Vernetzungsmechanismus der Celluloseetherderivate erlaubt. Dabei stehen die Vernetzungstemperatur, der Einfluß der katalysierenden Wasserstoffionen und bedingt die Vernetzungszeit im Vordergrund. Abgerundet werden die Arbeiten durch Ermittlungen rheologischer Daten, die in Zusammenhang zu den Vernetzungsreaktionen und damit zu membranspezifischen Größen stehen.Infolge der hervorragenden chemischen Stabilität der Celluloseether werden Einsatzmöglichkeiten der Kompositmembranen zur Nanofiltration niedermolekularer Verbindungen aus organisch hochbelasteten Systemen beschrieben.

    Description / Table of Contents: Polysulfide wurden mit hoher Ausbeute durch Hochtemperatur-Lösungspolykondensation von 4,4′-Dimercaptobiphenyl mit ausgewählten aliphatischen und aromatisch-aliphatischen Dihalogenkohlenwasserstoffen hergestellt. Um die optimalen Polykondensationsbedingungen zu bestimmen, wurde der Einfluß folgender Faktoren auf die reduzierte Viskosität und die Ausbeute der Polysulfide ermittelt: Art des organischen Lösungsmittels, Art des Halogenwasserstoff-Akzeptors, Konzentration der organischen Reagenzien, Reaktionstemperatur und -zeit. Die Polykondensation des Dithiols mit Bis(4-chlormethylphenyl)methan wurde als Modellsystem eingehender untersucht. Die Polysulfidstrukturen wurden mittels Elementaranalyse, IR-Spektroskopie und Röntgenstrukturanalyse bestätigt. Aus der thermogravimetrischen Analyse wurden die Zersetzungstemperatur, der Gewichtsverlust bei dieser Temperatur und das Maximum der Zersetzungsgeschwindigkeit erhalten. Weiterhin wurden einige physikalisch-chemische, mechanische und dielektrische Eigenschaften ermittelt. Die beste thermische und chemische Bestandigkeit zeigt das aus dem Dithiol und 4,4′-Bis(chlormethyl)biphenyl hergestellte Polysulfid, was auf dessen vorwiegend aromatische Struktur zuriickgefuhrt werden kann.
    Notes: Polysulfides were synthesized with high yield by high-temperature solution polycondensation of 4,4′-biphenyldithiol with selected aliphatic and aromatic-aliphatic hydrocarbon dihalides. To determine the optimum polycondensation conditions, the influence of the following factors on reduced viscosity and yield was studied: type of organic solvent, type of hydrogen halide acceptor, concentration of reagents, reaction temperature, and reaction time. A thorough examination was carried out only for the polycondensation of dithiol with bis(4-chloromethylphenyl)methane chosen as model system. The structures of the polysulfides were confirmed by elemental analysis, X-ray analysis, and infrared spectroscopy. The temperature of initial decomposition, the percentage of mass loss, and the temperature of the fastest decomposition, process were determined from curves of differential thermal and thermogravimetric analysis. Some physicochemical, mechanical and electrical properties were determined. The highest thermal and chemical resistance has been found for the polysulfide obtained from 4,4′-biphenyldithiol and 4,4′-bis(chloromethyl)biphenyl, probably because of the predominantly aromatic structure.

Der Einfluß der Füllstoffe auf einige mechanische Eigenschaften der Harze wurde untersucht. Die Härte der gefüllten Dentalharze nahm mit steigendem Füllstoffgehalt zu, wogegen die Biegefestigkeit abnahm. Die Druckfestigkeit der gefüllten Harze war besser als die des ungefüllten Harzes, nahm jedoch mit steigendem Füllstoffgehalt ab.
    Notes: By incorporating poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA), polystyrene (PS), and poly(styrene-co-methyl methacrylate) (poly(St-co-MMA)) structure units covalently into the SiO2 glass network via a sol-gel approach, three organic-inorganic hybrid materials (PMMA-SiO2, PS - SiO2, and poly(St-co-MMA) - SiO2) have been prepared. The three hybrid sol-gel materials were used as filler (up to 60 wt.-%) for dental composite resins. The effect of the three filler materials on several mechanical properties of the dental composite resins was investigated. The hardness of the filled dental composites increased with increasing filler content, whereas the bending strength decreased. The compressive strength of the composites was improved, compared with the unfilled resin, but decreased with inreasing filler content.

The adsorption process has found to be initial pH- and initial concentration-dependent, endothermic, and follows the Langmuir isothermal adsorption.The heats of adsorption (ΔH) at initial pH = 4 of benzene, toluene and p-xylene compounds are 29.45 kJ mol-1, 34.41 kJ mol-1, and 35.58 kJ mol-1, respectively, those at initial pH = 10 are 30.17 kJ mol-1, 35.56 kJ mol-1, and 39.39 kJ mol-1, respectively. The order of the amount of adsorbed BTX compounds on the adsorbent is benzene 〉 toluene 〉 p-xylene.

In den PMAA-Proben wurden drei verschiedene Cu2+-Spezies nachgewiesen: i) Cu2+-Paare, ii) isolierte Cu2+-Ionen und iii) Cu2+-Cluster. Bei niedrigem Cu-Gehalt der Proben bilden die Cu2+-Paar-Bindungen den Hauptanteil, bei hohem Cu-Gehalt überwiegen die Clusterbindungen. In den Novolakproben wurden nur isolierte Cu2+-Ionen und Cu2+-Cluster nachgewiesen. Die Einführung der Cu-Ionen erniedrigt die thermische Stabilität der Polymeren, der thermische Abbau erfolgt stufenweise. In den PMAA-Proben wird die erste Abbaustufe bei ≈ 220°C durch die Cu2+-Paar-Komplexe verursacht.
    Notes: Bi-Sr-Ca-Cu complexes of poly(methacrylic acid) (PMAA) and cresol novolac, which are precursors for high-temperature superconductors (HTSC) and Cu complexes of those polymers were investigated by ESR spectroscopy and thermogravimetry. In the PMAA samples three different kinds of Cu2+ species were detected: i) Cu2+ pairs, ii) isolated Cu2+ ions and iii) Cu2+ clusters. While Cu2+ pairs are the main species at low Cu concentrations, clusters become dominant at high Cu contents. In the novolac samples Cu2+ was only detected in isolated sites and clusters. The introduction of Cu ions lowered the thermal stability of the polymers and led to a stepwise decomposition. In the PMAA samples the first decomposition step at ≈ 220°C is caused by the Cu2+ pair complexes.

Die Hexanolate NdCl3 · 1,5 EH (II) und NdCl3 · 2,5 EH (III) wurden durch Elementaranalyse und Gravimetrie charakterisiert. Die katalytische Aktivität der Hexanolate bei der Homopolymerisation von 1,3-Butadien in Gegenwart von Triethylaluminium wurde untersucht. Die Verbindung III zeigte eine höhere Aktivität als die Verbindung II. Höhere Katalysator- und Cokatalysatorkonzentrationen sowie eine höhere Temperatur steigerten den Umsatz, wogegen die Viskosität der Produkte abnahm. Mit zunehmender Reaktionszeit erhöhten sich sowohl der Umsatz als auch die Viskosität. Die cis-1,4-Konformation wurde durch die Variation von Temperatur und Cokatalysatorkonzentration beeinflußt. Der gesamte Anteil der cis-1,4-Stuktur lag jedoch in allen Fällen über 99%, während die Produkte nur einen sehr geringen Vinyl-Anteil von 〈1% enthielten. Die Zugabe einer elektronenspendenden Verbindung verringerte den cis- 1,4-Gehalt aber auf 87%.
    Notes: Neodymium chloride 2-ethylhexanolates of the general formula NdCl3 · nL were prepared by ligand exchange reaction between neodymium chloride ispropanolate (I) and 2-ethylhexanol (EH). These hexanolates, NdCl3 · 1.5 EH (II) and NdCl3 · 2.5 EH (III), were characterized by elemental analysis and gravimetry. The catalytic activity of these hexanolates in combination with triethyl aluminium in the homopolymerization of 1,3-butadiene was studied, and the activity was found to be higher with III than II. The conversions increased with increasing the catalyst and co-catalyst concentrations and the temperature, whereas the intrinsic viscosity decreased. The conversions and the intrinsic viscosity decreased. The conversions and the intrinsic viscosity increased with reaction time. The cis-1,4 structure was influenced by variation in temperature and co-catalyst concentration, however, the total cis-1,4 structure was always more than 99% with very low vinyl content (〉1%). Addition of an external electron donor decreased the cis-1,4 content to 87%.

Der Einfluß verschiedener Lösungsmethoden des rekristallisierten MgCl2-Alkohol-Adduktes auf die morphologischen Charakteristika der Katalysatoren wurde untersucht. Die Lösungsmethode beeinflußt die Eigenschaften der Katalysatoren beträchtlich. Die dargestellten Katalysatoren wiesen unterschiedliche Ti/Mg-Verhältnisse auf, sowohl was die Oberfläche als auch die gesamten Katalysator-Partikel betrifft. Betrachtet man die Ti-Verteilung und Aktivitätsprofile, dann erweisen sich nicht nur die Polymerisationsbedingungen, sondern auch die Ti-Verteilung auf dem Katalysator als wichtige Faktoren, welche die Dichte der Polymeren beeinflussen.
    Notes: The MgCl2 supports for an ethylene polymerization catalyst were prepared by the recrystallization method using methanol as a solvent. The effects of different desolvation methods of the recrystallized MgCl2-alcohol adduct on the morphological characteristics of the catalysts were examined. The desolvation method greatly affects the characteristics of the catalyst. The prepared catalysts had different Ti/Mg ratios with respect to both surface content and entire catalyst particles. Considering Ti distribution and activity profiles, not only the polymerization conditions but also the Ti distribution on the catalyst appear to be an important factor which affects the bulk density of the polymers.

    Description / Table of Contents: Die mechanischen und strukturellen Eigenschaften von Blends aus Phenolphthalein-Polyethersulfon und ultrahochmolekularem Polyethylen (UHMWPE) wurden anhand von Zug- und Biegeversuchen, Raster- und Transmissionselektronenmikroskopie untersucht. Die Zugabe einer geringen Menge UHMWPE (2 Gew.-%) führt zu einer Verstärkung der PES-C-Matrix. Höhere UHMWPE-Konzentrationen verschlechtern die mechanischen Eigenschaften. Die Strukturuntersuchungen zeigen, daß die Blends im gesamten Zusammensetzungsbereich mehrphasig sind. Bei geringen UHMWPE-Konzentrationen ist die UHMWPE-Phase gleichmäßig verteilt und entlang der Fließrichtung orientiert, was mit der starken Grenzflächenadhäsion zur Verbesserung des mechanischen Verhaltens beiträgt. Mit steigender UHMWPE-Konzentration nimmt die Domänengröß der UHMWPE-Phase zu.

The incorporation of minor amounts of UHMWPE (2 wt.-%) into PES-C has a reinforcement effect. With higher concentrations of UHMWPE, the mechanical properties decrease gradually. Structural studies demonstrated that the blends are multiphasic in the whole composition range. The minor UHMWPE, dispersed uniformly and oriented along the flow direction, as well as the strong interfacial adhesion contribute to the increase of the mechanical performance of the blends. The domain size of the UHMWPE phase was found to increase with the increase of its concentration.

    Description / Table of Contents: Ein Redoxcopolymeres, ein makroporöses Poly(Styrol-co-Divinylbenzol) (S/DVB)-Harz mit N-Bromsulfonamidgruppen, wurde angewandt, um Cyanide aus wäßrigen Lösungen zu entfernen. Dieses Harz enthält aktives Brom in den funktionellen Gruppen (1.86 mmol g-1, 3.72 meq g-1) und weist Oxidationseigenschaften auf. Es wurde sowohl in statischen als auch in dynamischen Systemen für die Oxidation von Cyanidionen zu nichttoxischen Verbindungen angewandt. Die Reaktionen wurden in wäßrigen Lösungen mit 26-2600 mg L-1 CN- bei unterschiedlichen pH-Werten durchgeführt. Die Ergebnisse zeigten, daß dieses Harz die Cyanide leicht zu Cyanaten oxidiert, die ca. 1000 mal weniger toxisch sind. Bei Kontakt mit dem Harz fiel die Cyanidkonzentration in den Lösungen unter 0.05 mg L-1 CN-. Die —SO2NBrNa-Gruppen gingen dabei in —SO2NH2-Gruppen über. Diese konnten wiederum mit Natriumhypochlorit- und Natriumbromid-Lösungen reaktiviert werden. Es wurde auch eine Alternative zu der Cyanidionenoxidation mit N-Bromsulfonamid-Harz untersucht, indem ein analoges N-Chlorsulfonamid-Harz in Gengenwart von katalytischen Mengen von Bromiden angewandt wurde.
    Notes: A redox copolymer, macroporous poly(styrene-co-divinylbenzene) (S/DVB) resin having N-bromosulfonamide groups, was used for removal of cyanide ions from aqueous solutions. This resin contains active bromine in functional groups (1.86 mmol g-1, i. e. 3.72 meq g-1) and shows oxidative properties. It was employed in static and flow system for oxidation of cyanide ions to non-toxic compounds. The reactions were carried out in aqueous media containing 26-2600 mg L-1 CN- at different pH values. The data showed that the resin having active bromine easily oxidized cyanides, forming cyanates being 1000-times less toxic than cyanides. In contact with the resin the concentration of cyanides in tested solutions dropped below 0.05 mg L-1 CN-. During the oxidation processes the —SO2NBrNa groups transform to —SO2NH2 groups. They can be reactivated by use of sodium hypochlorite and bromide solutions. As an alternative to oxidation of cyanides by N-bromosulfonamide resin, the oxidation of these ions by N-chlorosulfonamide resin with addition of a small amount of bromides was examined.

    Notes: Novel Polyester glycols with alkyl side groups were used for the improvement of thermal stability and hydrolytic stability of polyester urethane elastomers. The novel polyester glycols used are poly( β -methyl- δ -valerolactone)glycol (PMVL), poly(3-methyl pentamethylene adipate) glycol (PMPA), poly(nonamethylene-co-2-methyl octamcthylene carbonate) gycol (PNCO). A mixture of PNCO and poly(dimethyl siloxane)gycol (PNCO/PDMS) was also used. Polyurethane network elastomers were prepared from 4,4′-diphenylmethane diisocyanate (or 2,4-tolylene diisocyanate), and a mixture of 1,4-butane diol and trimethylol propane by a prepolymer method. Mechanical properties, Tg, thermal stability, and hydrolytic stability were measured. Morphology were also measured by means of polarizing microscopy, dynamic viscoelastometer, and ESR. The properties of novel polyurethane elastomers have good mechanical properties comparable to those of the general purpose polyester urethanes, and better thermal and hydrolytic stability than PTMG-based polyurethane. These polyurethane elastomers were exposed in out door during 2 year in Nagasaki, JAPAN. The novel polyurethane clastomers held alomost constant values for gel fraction, swelling ratio, relative modulus during 12 months, while poly(oxytetramethylene oxide)-based polyurethane as a control decreased the these values. Relationship of degradation behaviors with chemical structure and morphology were discussed.

    Notes: In the chain oxidation of N-alkylamides with molecular oxygen, propagation is the ratedetermining step under conditions when the oxidation rate is independent of oxygen pressure. The oxidizability of lactams and lactam-based polyamides correlates with the energy of the formation of N-alkylamide radical by abstraction of hydrogen from the methylene group adjacent to nitrogen. While for lactams this energy depends on the number of carbons in the lactam ring, for N-alkylamides and polylactams such dependence is not observed.

    Notes: An X-band EPR-Imaging apparatus which allowed us to determine the distribution of nitroxyl radicals within solid samples of polymeric materials containing hindered amine stabilizers, is described. It is shown that EPR Imaging represents a powerful tool for investigating the growth and decay of nitroxyls formed in polymers irradiated under air for long periods. Since the variations of the radical concentration can be monitored both in time and in the space, this technique provides valuable information not easily attainable by means of other methods.

    Notes: A re-examination of the photo-oxidation mechanism of poly(2,6-dimethyl-1,4-phenylene oxide) (PPO) at both long and short irradiation wavelengths under accelerated conditions is reported. The formation rate of poly-2,6-dimethylphenoxy (PDMP) radicals, have been observed by esr spectroscopy, while benzylic-type radicals have been detected by spin trapping experiments using nitrosodurene under UV irradiation conditions. The changes of FTIR spectra obtained under accelerated photo-oxidative conditions show the formation of primary oxidation products such as aromatic aldehydes and quinones. The direct formation of radical cations and superoxide anions by a photo-induced electron-transfer reaction is suggested under our conditions. In addition, some results on the of photo-oxidation PPO/PS blends as a function of polystyrene tacticity are also reported. In the case of syndiotactic polystyrene the blend photostability shows some differences in comparison with the blend containing atactic polystyrene. This effect has been ascribed to the absence of excimers in syndiotactic polystyrene which are not revealed by fluorescence measurements. Finally, the chemical modification of PPO with bromine gave a bromomethylated PPO with different amounts of CH2 Br groups, which has been used for further substitution reactions with alkoxy sodium salts of 4-hydroxy-2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-1-piperidinyloxy (TEMPO) and 4-hydroxy-1,2,2,6,6-pentamethylpiperidine (PMPP). The accelerated photo-oxidation of a modified copolymer PPO-PMPP containing a 60% PMPP moieties as side groups and its blends with pure PPO has been followed by FTIR and esr spectroscopies. Some comparisons with a commercially available hindered amine light stabilizers (HALS) and a modified copolymer PPO-PMPP are also reported under the same photo-oxidative conditions.

    Description / Table of Contents: For innovative applications of plastics, which take advantage of special properties of polymeric materials, comprehensive understanding on strengthening and toughening mechanisms is required. The temperature-dependent mechanical behaviour of PMMA, PS and PC under dynamic loading conditions were investigated by means of an instrumented Charpy impact tester. The elastic-plastic fracture mechanics parameters, the energy-determined J-integral, and the deformation-determined crack opening displacement, δ, enable to do structure-related quantification of micromechanical processes. The J-integral values showed a maximum, resulting from an energy-dissipative process. The maximum values for PMMA occurred at 50°C and for PC at 40°C , which is related to the secondary(β) relaxation as evaluated from the frequency dependence of the mechanical loss factor. The 0-relaxation initiated shear deformation mechanisms, which led to a local increase of toughness. In polycarbonate, toughness is strongly increased due to a stress-induced shear flow process at temperatures higher than -25°C. Correlations between morphology and toughness can be derived with the help of optical investigations of stable crack propagation on fracture surfaces.
    Notes: Innovative Kunststoffanwendungen, die die speziellen Eigenschaften polymerer Werkstoffe gezielt ausnutzen, erfordern vertiefte Kenntnisse über festigkeits- und zähigkeitsbestimmende Mechanismen. Das sich in Abhängigkeit von der Temperatur ändernde Werkstoffverhalten von PMMA, PS und PC wurde bei dynamischer Beanspruchung mittels instrumentierter Kerbschlagbiegeprüfung bestimmt. Mit der verformungsbestimmten Rißöffnungsverschiebung δ und dem energiebestimmten J-Integral stehen Kenngrößen der Fließbruchmechanik zur Verfügung, die eine strukturbezogene Quantifizierung der temperaturabhängigen mikromechanischen Prozesse erlauben. Die J-Integralwerte zeigen für PMMA bei 50°C und für PC bei -60°C ein durch einen energiedissipativen Prozeß verursachtes Maximum. Dieses Maximum steht, wie sich aus der Interpretation der Frequenzabhängigkeit des mechanischen Verlustfaktors ergibt, mit der Neben(β)-Relaxation in Beziehung. Dabei initiiert die β-Relaxation Scherdeformationsmechanismen, die ihrerseits die lokale Zähigkeitserhöhung bewirken. Ab -25°C führt für PC ein spannungsinduzierter Scherfließprozeß zu einer erheblichen Zähigkeitssteigerung. Durch die Einbeziehung lichtmikroskopischer Untersuchungen des stabilen Rißfortschritts auf der Bruchfläche können Morphologie-Zähigkeits-Korrelationen abgeleitet werden.

    Description / Table of Contents: Eine Reihe von Polyamidimid-Polyimid-Blockcopolymeren (PAI-PI-BCPs) wurde durch Polykondensation von PAI-Blöcken mit Amino-Endgruppen und PI-Blöcken mit Anhydrid-Endgruppen hergestellt. Zur Synthese der Blöcke mit Molekulargewichten im Bereich von ca. 2000 bis 15000 wurden nur technisch leicht zugängliche Monomere, wie Trimellitsäureanhydridchlorid, Benzophenontetracarbonsäuredianhydrid, 4,4′-Diaminodiphenylmethan, 2,4-Toluylendiamin und 4,4′-Diaminodiphenylsulfon eingesetzt. Dabei zeigte sich, daß durch den blockartigen Aufbau die Löslichkeit-und damit die Verarbeitbarkeit-im Vergleich zu den reinen, unlöslichen Polyimiden wesentlich verbessert werden konnte, bei nahezu gleichbleibender Thermostabilität. So wurden BCPs mit guten mechanischen Eigenschaften, Thermostabilitäten bis ca. 480°C (Thermogravimetrie, 5% Gewichtsverlust) und guten Löslichkeiten in Dimethylacetamid und anderen polaren aprotischen Lösungsmitteln erhalten.
    Notes: New poly(amide-imide)-poly(imide) block copolymers (PAI-PI-BCPs) were prepared by polycondensation of amino-terminated PAI-blocks with anhydride-terminated PI-blocks. For the syntheses of the blocks with molecular weights from 2000 to 15000 only commercially available monomers were used, e.g. trimellitic acid anhydride chloride, benzophenone tetracarboxylic acid dianhydride, 4,4′-diaminodiphenylmethane, 2,4-toluenediamine and 4,4′-diaminodiphenylsulfone. The BCPs were shown to have better solubility compared to the pure, insoluble PIs with only minor decrease of the thermostability. Thus, BCPs with good mechanical properties, thermostabilities up to 480°C (thermogravimetric analysis, 5% weight loss) and good solubility in dimethylacetamide and other polar aprotic solvents were obtained.

Die Copolymeren wurden mit IR- und 1H NMR-Spektroskopie sowie Elementaranalyse, Differentialkalorimetrie und Thermogravimetrie charakterisiert. Der Einbau sowohl von hydrophoben als auch von hydrophilen Sequenzen verleiht den Polymeren amphiphile Eigenschaften. Ihre Eigenschaften in Lösung und als Feststoffe lassen die Produkte für Anwendungen als nichtionische Emulgatoren, Oberflächenmodifikatoren, Gele, usw. geeignet erscheinen.

The copolymerization products were characterized by IR- and 1H NMR spectroscopy, elemental analysis, DSC and thermogravimetry. The insertion of both hydrophobic and hydrophilic sequences in the macromolecular structure induces a behavior characteristic of amphiphilic compounds. Their solution and solid state behavior evidenced peculiarities which make them able to act as nonionic emulsifiers, surface modifiers, gels, etc.

    Description / Table of Contents: Der Zustand von Wasser in Protonenaustausch-Membranen, hergestellt durch Pfropfen von Styrol auf Polyvinylidenfluorid-Filme (PVDF-g-PS) mittels Elektronenstrahlen und anschließendes Sulfonieren (PVDF-g-PSSA), wurde mittels Differentialkalorimetrie (DSC), Raman-Spektroskopie und Rontgen-Diffraktion (SAXS) ermittelt. Die Raman-Untersuchungen zeigten, daß einzelne Wassermolekule durch hydrophobe Wechselwirkungen an die Polymerketten gebunden sind. Die DSC-Untersuchungen zeigten, daß Wasser in den Membranen in drei verschiedenen Umgebungen vorliegt: nicht gefrierendes ionisch gebundenes Wasser, gefrierendes freies Wasser und gefrierendes gebundenes Wasser. Die Menge an nicht gefrierendem Wasser betragt unabhangig vom Pfropfungsgrad etwa 10 H2O/SO3H (mol/mol). Die Menge an gefrierendem Wasser ist stark vom Pfropfungsgrad abhangig. Oberhalb eines Pfropfungsgrades von 50% werden Werte von 40 H20/S03H (mol/mol) erreicht. Die Leitfahigkeit von nur nicht gefrierendes Wasser enthaltenden Membranen ist gering, d. h., das ionisch gebundene Wasser kann nicht allein die fur den Transport von Protonen und Wasser notwendigen Kanale bilden. Die SAXS Untersuchungen zeigten, daß Wasser/Sulfonsaure-Cluster in Membranen aus hydratisiertem PVDF-g-PSSA mit einem Bragg-Abstand von 25 Å gebildet werden. Diese Cluster formen die Kanale fur den Ionentransport und die Leitfähigkeit.
    Notes: The state of water in proton exchange membranes prepared by pre-irradiation (electron beam, 100 kGy) grafting of styrene onto poly(vinylidene fluoride) films (PVDF-g-PS), followed by sulfonation (PVDF-g-PSSA), has been studied with thermal analysis, Raman spectroscopy and small angle X-ray diffraction (SAXS). Raman spectra show that, in addition to free liquid water in the membranes, single water molecules are weakly bound to the polymer backbone. Thermal analysis shows that there are three types of water molecules in the membrane; non-freezable water associated with the ionic sites, freezable free water, and freezable bound water. The amount of non-freezable water is around 10 H2O/SO3H (mol/mol), and is independent of the degree of grafting (d.o.g.). The amount of freezable water is strongly dependent on the d.o.g. as long as the grafting has not penetrated the whole of the film, and reaches a value of around 40 H2O/SO3H (mol/mol) above a d.o.g. of 50%. The conductivity of membranes containing only the non-freezable water is low, i. e. the ionically bound water alone does not form the domains necessary for proton and water transport. SAXS measurements show that water/sulfonic acid clusters in hydrated PVDF-g-PSSA membranes with a Bragg distance of 25 Å are formed; these form the ion conducting channels in the membrane.

    Description / Table of Contents: Die Zug- und Biegemoduli von preßgeformten Polypropen-Probekörpern mit unterschiedlichen Oberflächenkristallinitäten wurden basierend auf der Annahme eines Schicht-Verbund-Modells untersucht. Es zeigte sich, daß die Spannungs-Dehnungs-Kurven der Zugversuche und die Werte der Biegeablenkung im wesentlichen von der Oberfächenkristallinität abhängen, jedoch erwiesen sich die Bruchspannungen als von der Oberflächenkristallinität unabhängig. Es wird angenommen, daß das beobachtete Zug- und Biegeverhalten der Proben auf der Grundlage eines Schicht-Verbund-Modells, bei dem eine massive, starre Platte zwischen zwei weichen Schichten eingebettet ist, charakterisiert werden kann.
    Notes: The tensile and flexural moduli of the compression-molded sheets of polypropene with different surface layer crystallinity were investigated based on a layered composite model. It was found that the tensile stress-strain curve and flexural deflection depended largely on the surface layer crystallinity, but the ultimate strain-at-break values were independent of the surface layer crystallinity. It is suggested that the tensile and flexural behavior can be characterized using a layered composite model in which a bulk plate was sandwiched between two surface layers.

    Notes: Addition of HALS-stabilisers, the cut-off wavelength of the light source, the temperature and the oxygen pressure have an influence on the UV-degradation mechanism of polyolefins. All these parameters influences the conversion of oxygen into polymeric carbonyls. The results are explained assuming that the initiation of the UV-degradation of pololefins is due to substrate-oxygen charge transfer complexes (CTCs).

    Notes: The applicability of fracture mechanics was studied on UV-exposed HDPE Charpy specimens. The failure distribution of the stress at failure measured in three-points bending tests showed a bifurcation in failure processes. At high stresses yielding occurs, resulting in large strain at failures. At lower stresses crack propagation causes low strain at failures. Due to the bifurcation in failure processes the ductile-brittle transition temperature of exposed specimens is hard to determine.Specimens notched after exposure showed a decrease in the critical stress intensity values. The effective notch depth of exposed specimens was found to be larger than the thickness of the oxidized layer measured by FT-IR and density measurements.

    Deactivation processes of 2-hydroxyphenyl-1,3,5-triazines  -  polymeric and monomeric UV absorbers of the benzotriazole and triazine class (1997)

    Notes: In the 2-hydroxyphenyl-1,3,5-triazines, the intramolecular hydrogen bond is stronger than in the corresponding 2-hydroxyphenylbenzotriazoles. Compounds with only one aryl group in the 2-hydroxyphenyl-1,3,5-triazine series show proton-transferred fluorescence with large Stokes shift and high quantum yield. No such fluorescence is observed, in contrast, for compunds with three aryi groups bearing no electrondonating groups on the aryl moieties. When the hydrogen atom of the intramolecular hydrogen bond is replaced by CH3, the respective derivative shows fluorescence with a normal Stokes shift.Various copolymers of MA-TIN 1 (2-[2-hydroxy-3-tert.-butyl-5-(O-[2-hydroxy-3-(2-methylpropenoyloxy)propyl]-2-carbonyloxyethyl)phenyl]benzotriazole), and MA-TZ 1 (2,4-Bis(2,4-dimethyl-phenyl)-6-[2-hydroxy-4-(2-hydroxy-3-[2-methylpropenoyloxy])propoxyphenyl]-1,3,5-triazine) with styrene, methyl methacrylate, and methacrylic acid have been synthesized by radical polymerization. The absorption spectra in the longwavelength UV region appear unchanged compared to those of the monomeric UV absorbers indicating that the stabilizer chromophores are conserved intact in the polymer. Both the monomeric and the polymeric stabilizers exhibit a strongly Stokesshifted, temperature-dependent, low-quantum-yield, proton-transferred fluorescence. This may be taken as evidence that the intramolecular hydrogen bond, which is essential for the photostability of this type of UV absorber, remains intact also in the copolymers. Activation energies of the radiationless deactivation process can be evaluated from the temperature dependence of this fluorescence. These energies lie between 4 and 5 kJ/mol for most of the benzotriazole and triazine stabilizers investigated.Fluorescence-decay measurements with crystalline MA-TIN 1 at different temperatures reveal a close correspondence of the temperature dependence between decay times and relative quantum yields. The radiationless process is thence concluded to originate from the proton-transferred level S1'. The decay time at room temperature is estimated at 70 ps, close to the value for crystalline TIN P (2-(2-hydroxy-5-methylphenyl)benzotriazole). The proton-transferred fluorescence of MA-TIN 1 exhibits a biexponential decay profile whereas solid TIN P, in contrast, displays only one single lifetime.

    Notes: Despite its being weaker base poly(2-vinylpyridine) polymerized DL-β-phenylalanine NCA at a much faster rate than pyridine and α-picoline. Poly(2-vinylpyridine) adsorbs NCA by hydrogen bonding with the cooperation of a few pyridine groups. This results in a high local concentration of NCA. The syndiotactic configuration of pyridine group seemed to be least suitable for the cooperative hydrogen bonding. Adsorbed NCA is activated to form an “activated” NCA which in turn reacts with an NCA adsorbed on the same polymer chain. Since the polymer chain is flexible, this intramolecular reaction takes place frequently, resulting in the acceleration of polymerization. The intramolecular reaction along the polymer chain is dependent on the degree of polymerization of polymer catalyst. A suitable model was proposed for the intramolecular reaction to explain the effect of degree of polymerization.

    Notes: 5-Bromouracil-substituted DNA was isolated form B. Subtilis and phage PBSH. The three DNA fractions of Different densities (TT, TB, and BB) were irradiated with u.v. (313nm). The number of single-strand and double-strand breaks was determined. The breakage rates are given. It was found that in hybrid DNA (TB) double-strand breaks occur depending linearly on dose. In BB-DNA the observed double-Strand bresks can be divided into two fractions with a linear and quadratic dose dependence respectively. The results can be explained by assuming intramolecular energy transfer from the BU-containing strand to its complementary strand.

    Notes: Differential enthalpic analysis of a series of 3′,5′-cyclic nucleotides indicates that homolytic cleavage of the six-membered phosphate ring occurs either immediately prior to or concurrent with decomposition of the crystal lattice. Homolysis is followed by a rapid polymerization to yield oligonucleotides. The enthalpies of these reactions have, with the exception of guanosine 3′,5′-cyclic phosphate, almost identical values of 25 kcal/mole. The anomalous case is attributed to a more stabilized phosphate ring as a result of hydrogen bonding through the two position of the purine ring. The pair of overlapping exothermic peaks observed in each of the thermograms for cAMP and cIMP is related to the presence of two conformational arrangements within the unit cell of each compound.

    Notes: The total energy and the electronic properties of some syn purine nucleosides have been determined as a function of the rotation angle around the C-N glycosidic linkage. Invariably, the crystallographic coordinates provide a state lying at or very near the minimum on the potential energy curve according to the extended Hückel parametrization here employed. The ribose moiety always carries a net positive charge whereas the base is always negatively charged. Changes in dipole moment magnitudes for the overall structure as well as in net atomic charges are noted upon rotation around the glycosidic linkage indicating that potential functions for polynucleotides may be in error if such changes are ignored.

    Notes: The primary amine initiated homopolymerization of γ-benzyl-L-glutamate NCA in dioxane at 25°C, 35°C, 50°C, and 65°C has been investigated. The reactions were virtually independent of temperature indicating an activation energy of less than 1 kcal/mole. The entropy of activation was estimated to be -65 entropy units at 300°K. The reaction proceeded in two stages. The first stage was zero-order with respect to monomer, whereas the second was first-order with respect to monomer. Both stages were first-order with respect to initiator. These results were interpreted by assuming that the rate constant for propagation was not independent of the degree of polymerization up to the point where a conformational transition to α-helix occurred.

    Notes: The kinetics of interaction between proflavine and poly I.poly C at 25°C, neutral pH, and moderate ionic strength have been studied by relaxation methods. The qualitative features of this system resemble those previously reported by Crothers and co-workers for proflavine-DNA and proflavine-poly A·poly U interactions-two relaxations are observed coresponding to a fast bimolecular step followed by a slower isomerization. These results can best be accommodated by a two-step mechanism leading from the free dye through an “outside-bound” complex to the intercalated complex. Quantitative comparison of the various rate constants for proflavine binding to different double-helical polynucleotides shows that the rates are slower for both ribohomopolymer pairs than for DNA. The rates for poly I·poly C are approximately three times faster than these for poly A·poly U.

    Notes: Infrared and Raman spectra of aqueous poly(rA-rU)·poly(rA-rU), the double-helical complex containing strands of alternating riboadenylate and ribouridylate residues, display significant differences from one another and from corresponding spectra of poly(rA)·poly(rU), the double-helical complex of riboadenylate and ribouridylate homopolymers. Parallel studies on the copolymer and homopolymer complexes by cesium sulfate density gradient centrifugation, ultraviolet absorption spectroscopy, hydrogenion titration, 1-N oxidation of adenine residues by monoperphthalic acid and X-ray diffraction reveal, however, that the geometry of base pairing between adenine and uracil is closely similar in each complex and apparently of the Watson-Crick type. Therefore the differences observed between vibrational spectra of poly (rA-rU)·poly (rA-rU) and poly(rA)·poly(rU) are not due to different base-pairing schemes but may be attributed to differences in vibrational coupling between vertically stacked bases. Vibrational coupling may also account for the differences between infrared and Raman spectra of the same complex. Thus, the present results indicate that infrared and Raman frequencies of RNA in the region 1750-1550 cm-1 should be dependent on the base sequence.

    Notes: A simple model is introduced to investigate the stability of a sedimenting entanglement. The sedimenting entanglement is represented by a sedimenting sieve. Solvent can pass through it, but single-chain molecules that flow into it become entangled and their flow decreases or, if permanent entanglements form, ceases entirely. With this model we are able to find the conditions under which the mass of a sedimenting entanglement remains constant, grows or decays to a stable value, grows beyond limit, or decays to the mass of a single chain. The theory is applied to the sedimentation of small concentrations of large chain molecules in solutions of small chain molecules in solutions of small chain molecules for the case in which the entanglements are long-lived. Equations are derived which, (1) give the stable entanglement mass as a function of rotor speed and concentration and, (2) for a given concentration predict the rotor speed at which the entanglement mass grows without limit. Numerical results for small concentrations of T2 DNA sedimenting in solutions of T7 DNA are presented.

    Notes: The solution bebavior of poly-L-proline Form II has been studied in water and aqueous salt solutions by both elastic and quasi-elastic light -scattering techniques. The results of this study suggest that polyproline Form II can exist in water at 24 °C as an associated polymer complex and that certain salts which do not appear to affect the helix integrity, e.g., guanidinium-HCl, resutl in dissociation of the aggregate. Other neutral salts, of the variety effective in mediating unfolding of the Form II helix (e.g., 4M NaClO4) also induce aggregate dissociation, but 4M CaCl2 results in enhanced aggregation of polyproline. Kinetic experiments indicate that a time of 20 hours is necessary for the completion of the “large” to “small” transformation (at 22°C) which is induced by the addition of 4M NaClO4. Thus it appears that neutral salts additives in aqueous solutions of polyproline influence both the state of aggregation and the conformation of this polymer.

The static dielectric constant was oberserved to decrese with increasing level of added proflavine. At P/D = 1, the variation of dielectric constant with frequency was small. Relaxation time (τ) was greater for the DNA-proflavine complexes compared to that for free DNA, Maximum value of the relaxation time was obtained at P/D = 10. The increase in the relaxation time and decrease in the static dielectric constant were attributed to the increase in length and meutralization of surface charges of the DNA molecules, respectively, as aresult of proflavine binding.

    Notes: Fluorescence depolarization experiments performed on labaled poly-L-proline Forme II suggest the occurrence of aggrgation in water while 6M guanidinium-HCl induces dissociation. The solvent 4M CaCl2 results in a reduction of polymer structural orgganization. These findings corroborate suggestion of polyproline aggregation and solution behavior in aqueous neutral salt solytion (see preceding article).

    Notes: A detailed study on the deuterium NMR of hydrated collagen in the presence of alkali and alkaline earth salt is reported. The effect of different salts in reducing the deuteron quadrupole splitting are similer at low molar content of salt. At higher salt contents, larger ions are more effective. The ressults are explained by the blocking of water binding sites to collagen by hydrated ions. When the temperature is reduced, only part of the adsorbed water iss frozen, and the amount of “unfreezable water” decreases with the increase in ionic sizes(LiCl 〈 MgCl2 〈 KCL 〈 KCNS). The freezing temperature is also lowered in the presence of salts. A description of the structure of hydrated collagen based upon the observed facts is given.

    Notes: Poly-γ-L-glutamic acid has been synthesized by the activated pentachlorophenyl ester polymerization method and the molecule weight of the polymer was found to be 16,000. Comparative conformational studies on the synthetic and on the native polyglutamic acid mbtained from B. anthracis and B. subtilis were carried out using optical rotatory dispersion, circular dichroism, peptide absorption spectrum, and titration data. These results show that poly-γ-glutamic acid does not exhibit any conformational order under the conditions of investigation. At low degrees of ionization, restriction of conformational freedom via random “hypercoiling” of the chain appears likely.

These hydrocarbons do not bind, within our limits of detection, to histone IV in the diosorderde form at low pH or to the form produced by the fast conformational change when the slow change is prevented. High anisotropy values for the bound hydrocarbon indicate a high degree of aggregation for the histone IV.

    Notes: The aggregation of native acid-soluble collagen (N-ASC) and of pronase-treated acid soluble collagen (P-ASC) was examined in solution under conditions which varied from those of minimum collagen-collagen interaction to those leading to incipient fiber formation. Molecular weights and weight distributions were determined in the analytical ultracentrifuge using the Yphantis high speed sedimentation equilibrium and Aarchiblad approach-to-equilibrim techniques. The aggregation was pH and ionic strength dependent in each case. Under conditions of minimum aggregation (low pH, low ionic strength), N-ASC showed the presence of permant aggregates. At higher pH and ionic strength, a higher fraction of aggregate was formed but these were of the same charcter and molecular weight as the permanent aggregates. The aggregates were of a single molecular size, with a weight of 1.5 × 106 daltons, compared with a monomer collagen weight of 3.1 × 105 daltons. The P-ASC formed aggregates also but to a much lower extent and the maximum aggregate size corresponded to dimers in molecular weight. These data show the major importance of molecular end-regions in collagen aggregation to form native type fibers and, by virtue of the discrete size of the N-ASC aggregates, support the microfibrillar hypothesis for the assembly of collagen fibrills.

    Sedimentation and intrinsic viscosity behavior of PM2 bacteriophage DNA in alkaline solution (1973)

    Notes: The sedimentation coefficient and intrinsic viscosity of nicked and closed circular PM2 bacteriophage DNA have been measured as a function of pH in the alkaline region. A gradual increase in the sidimentation coefficient, and a corresponding decrease in the intrinsic viscosity, are observed for the superhelical (closed) circle in the pH region from 10.5 to about 10.9. This has been tentatively interpreted in terms of the known dependence of sedimentation coefficient upon the number of superhelical turns. At slightly higher pH values, the curve passes through the minimum (sedimentation coefficient) and maximum (intrinsic viscosity) expected when the superhelical turns present at neutral pH are unwound by partial alkaline denaturation. Sedimentation studies of the relaxed (nicked) circular species have revealed the existence of DNA forms in the pH region from 11.27 to 11.37 which sediment considerably faster than the closed circle in the same pH region. These have been identified as partially denatured nicked circles, in which varying fractions of the duplex structure have undergone alkaline denaturation, but strand separation has not yet occurred. Varying fractions of a slower species, either undenatured or completely denatured nicked circles, are also observed in some of these experiments. A corresponding result is observed in the intrinsic viscosity vs. pH curve.When nicked circular PM2 DNA is exposed to various alkaline pH's, rapidly neutralized, and sedimented at neutral pH, the expected sharp transition from native to denatured (strand-separated) molecules is seen. However, a very narrow pH range is noted in which native and denatured forms coexist in a single experiment. The above experiments carried out upon the closed form also reveal a narrow pH range in which the bulk of the transition from native closed circles to the collapsed cyclic coil takes place, in acccord with an earlier study on a different DNA. This transition is shown never to be completely effected, however, as there is a fraction (7-8%)of the closed circles which renature to the native form, regardless of the alkaline pH employed. This same phenomenon was not observed in the case of artificially closed λb2b5c DNA circles. Possible explanations for some of the above results are discussed.

    Notes: Polymerizations of DL-phenylalanine NCA by block copolymers of sarcosine and DL-phenylalanine, designated by (Phe)m(Sar)n and capable of reaction at the phenylalanyl terminal, were investigated in nitrobenzene solution at 25°C. With increasing n for constant m (m = 0, 1, 2, and 5), the polymerization rate greatly increased. Previously the acceleration of the initiation reaction in the polymerization of DL-phenylalanine NCA by polysarcosine (m = 0) was reported. The present results showing the acceleration by the copolymers of sarcosine and DL-phenylalanine indicate the presence of the polymer effect in the propagation reaction as well. However, the polymer effect was most marked with polysarcosine (m = 0), and decreased with increasing m.The same polymerizations by sequential copolymers composed of ten sarcosine units and two DL-phenylalanine units were also investigated. Again with these copolymer catalysts the polymerization rate was larger than that by monomeric amines. But the polymer effect decreased sharply when the phenylalanine units take positions near the terminal amine group of the copolymer catalyst.These two deteriorating effects of the phenylalanine unit have been interpreted in terms of the decrease of the flexibility of polymer chain, caused possibly by an intramolecular hydrogen bond of the phenylalanine unit.

    Notes: A conductivity dispersion has been measured at very low frequencies (VLF) on several concentrated DNA solutions. By measuring simultaneously their electric birefringence decay, it is shown that the dielectric relaxation (which is related to the conductivity dispersion) is due to the molecular orientation. Different polarization mechanisms are discussed. It is concluded that the DNA polarizability measured in the VLF range can only be explained by the orientation of a permanent ionic dipole. It is suggested that such permanent dipoles could be caused by small differences in the ionic composition between the two molecular “ends;” the difference could either be stable (asymmetrical localization of protein impurities for instance) or transient (fluctuating dipoles explained by the Kirkwood-Schumaker theory).

    Notes: In the present work, the synthesis of the three primary oligomers of α-L-glutamic acid is described; the general formula is the following: [I] The choice of protective groups at the both ends of the chain allows for the good solubility in the water and the liberation of free carboxyl groups on the side chain. Thus, models are obtained for the study of thermodynamic properties of solutions and especially of the interactions between polyanions and cations. The prepared products are characterized by different techniques such as mass spectrometry potentiometry, tonometry, and thin-layer chromatography. The results are in agreement and lead to the conclusions that the molecules have the general formula of [I] and are stereoregular.

    Notes: In continuation of our studies on the effect of the base and the phosphate groups on the glycosyl and the sugar-phosphate backbone conformation, we have carried out semi-empirical potential energy calculations on the common 5′- and 3′5′-ribopyrimidine mono- and diphosphates by considering simultaneous rotations about the glycosyl (χ) and the C(4′)-C(5′) (ψ) bonds. This calculation provides an assessment of the nature and orientation of the base on the sugar-phosphate backbone conformation of nucleotides and polynucleotides. It is found that the attractive inetractions between the 5′-phosphate group and the base mutually stabilize the antiand the gauche-gauche (gg) conformations about χ and ψ, respectively, in 5′-ribopyrimidine nucleotides. The introduction of the 3′-phosphate group as in 3′,5′-ribopyrimidine diphosphates, still leaves the anti-gg as the most favored conformation with the important difference that the probability of occurrence of the anti, gauche-trans (gt) is how substantially increased. This is dependent to a large extent on the sugar conformation and to a lesser extent on the base. Uracil and thymine show a greater probability for the anti-gt than cytosine. The syn conformation is considerably less likely and its occurrence is also dependent on the base type, cytosine showing a lesser tendency than uracil and thymine. For the syn base, the most favourec conformation for ψ is gt, since gg is sterically disallowed and tg is destabilized by electrostatic repulsive interactions between the 3′ and 5′-phosphate groups. Thus, there is a striking correlation between the glycoysl and the backbone C(4′)-C(5′) bond conformations. The rest of the bonds of the backbone are considerable less dependent on the glycosyl conformation. These studies reveal that in poly-ribopyrimidine nucletides the majority of the nucleotide residues are expected to occur in the anti-gg conformation.

In the transitionregion the α-CH proton resonance shows two peaks whose behavior does not change appreciably upon fractionation by gel permeation chromatography. Theoretical spectra were computed with both a polydispersity model of the transition and a model for slow nucleationof helix from completely random coil molecules. The results suggest that the double peak behavior in the nmr spectra results from a slow rate of helix nucleation rather than polydispersity.

    Notes: A conformational analysis has been carried out for the cyclic peptide antibiotic alamethicin. Unlikely structures were first eliminated by constructing van der Waals' energy maps for near-neighbor contacts and using these maps to generate forty complete alamethicin structures free of steric overlaps. The energies of the forty conformations were minimized; optimizing all dihedral angles first in sets and then simultaneously, to give a family of five low-energy structures. In the conformation of lowest energy three of the seven α-amino isobutyric acid residues occur in a six-residue α-helix and three at the two chain reversals. Judged by the change in conformational energy as a function of the change in dihedral angle, the flexibility of the chain is determined by both the type of peptide unit and its position in the molecule.The model has features consistent with reported circular dichorism and surface balance measurements and has two polar centers separated by a lipophilic region. It does not contain the large central pore required by some theories for the action of alamethicin on cell membrances. It therefore probably acts by altering membrance structres rather than by shuttling ions through a pore in the membrance.

    Notes: The conformation and packing scheme for guanosine-3′, 5′-cytidine monophosphate, GpC, were computed by minimizing the classical potential energy. The lowest energy conformation of the isolated molecule had dihedral angles in the range of helical RNA's and the sugar pucker was C3′ endo. This was used as the starting conformation in a packing search over orientation space, the dihedral angles being flexible in this step also. The packing search was restricted by constraints from our x-ray data, namely, (1) the dimensions of the monoclinic unit cell and its pseudo-C2 symmetry (the real space group is P21), (2) the location of the phosphorous atom, and (3) the orientation of the bases. In addition, a geometric function was devised to impose Watson-Crick base pairing. Thus, a trial structure could be sought without explicit inclusion of intermolecular potentials. An interactive computer graphics system was used for visualizing the calculated structures.The packing searches yielded two lowest energy schemes in which the molecules had the same conformation (similar to double-helical RNA) but different orientations within the unit cell. One of these was refined by standard x-ray methods to a discrepancy index of 14.4% in the C2 pseudocell. This served as the starting structure for the subsequent refinement in the real P21 cell.5

    Notes: A model for the hydration behavior of human stratum corneum has been developed from measurements on in vitro samples isolated in a manner which minimized tissue treatment and trauma. Water sorption/desorption rate measurements as a function of water activity, temperature, and tissue integrity are reported. These data, together with thermodynamic data (infrared and nmr results reported earlier) are consistent with a model in which rapidly sorbed/desorbed water (ca. 0.5 mg water/mg stratum corneum) is associated with (“bound” by) the tissue, while slowly sorbed/desorbed “free” water (up to 12 mg water/mg stratum corneum) is kinetically restricted and probably intracellular in location. Both equilibrium water binding and desorption kinetic data suggest structural changes of this cellular water barrier upon hydration. Evidence for hysteresis in water sorption isotherms (reported by others) could not be reproduced.

    Notes: Poly(ortho-, meta-, and para-γ-nitrobenzyl-L-glutamates) were studied by circular dichroism (CD) and optical rotatory dispersion (ORD) in two helicogenic solvents, hexafluoroisopropanol (HFIP) and dichloroethane (EDC), and two non-helicogenic solvents, dichloracetic acid (DCA) and trifluoroacetic acid (TFA). The corresponding glutamates were also studied in DCA and TFA. The symmetric nitrobenzylic chromophore is optically active when the polymers are in solution in DCA and TFA. The corresponding glutamates are also optically active under the same conditions. Thus, it was not possible to explain the origin of the optical activity of the side-chain chromophore when the polymer is in solution in a helicogenic solvent. Nevertheless, from a side-chain dichroic band, a helix-coil transition curve was determined and the stability of each poly(γ-nitrobenzyl-L-glutamate) given; this stability depends on the position of the nitro substituent on the aromatic ring.

    Notes: The influence on the excess scattering function P(μ) of flutuations in the electron density ρ within a macromolecule is treated, to the approximation that the solvent is a structureless medium of constant electron density ρ0. The results for P(μ) and the apparent value of the mean square radius Rapp2, can be expressed as functions of the excess electron density Δρ: P(μ) = X(μ) + (Δρ)-1Y(μ) + (Δρ)-2Z(μ) and Rapp2 = Rx2 + (Δρ)-1Ry2 + (Δρ)-2Rz2, where X(μ) and Rx2 depend only on the shape of the macromolecule, while Y(μ) and Ry2 as well as Z(μ) and Rz2 depend on the shape and the fluctuations in ρ. By varying the electron density of the solvent, the contributions of the shape and the internal structure of the macromolecule can be resolved. The quantities Rx2, Ry2, and Rz2 are evaluated for seven models to illustrate the relative importance of these contributions for representative structures.

    Notes: The chiroptical properties of the cyclic dipeptides cyclo (L-alanyl-L-tyrosine) and cyclo(L-tyrosyl-L-tyrosine) have been investigated as a function of molecular conformation. Theoretical optical calculations and conformational energy calculations have been carried out as a function of the side-chain dihedral angles χ1 and χ2, and as a function of the angle of fold of the cyclic dipeptide backbone. The results of these theoretical calculations have been compared with experimental circular dichroism (CD) data. Theoretical predictions are in very good agreement with experiment for c(L-Tyr-L-Tyr). Agreement was not quite as good for c(L-Ala-L-Tyr), although the signs of all of the Cotton effects were apparently predicted correctly except for that associated with the lowest energy tyrosine absorption band.

    Notes: The slow kinetics of annealing processes in multistranded nucleic acids is spectrophotometrically investigated using poly(A)·2poly(U) as a model system. The absorbance changes at specific wavelengths show that double-helical (A·U) base pairs appear as transient intermediates. The annealing process is identified by the enlargement of triple-helical sequences at the cost of (A·U) base pairs and unpaired (U) residues. A large time range in the reorganization of mismatched chain configurations is characterized by a logarithmic dependence on time. This observation is quantitatively described by a kinetic model developed by Jackson. In Jackson's model the rate-limiting process in the slow annealing phase of maximizing triple-helical sequences, is the removal of strand entanglements, knots, and hairpin loops by complete unwinding of those helical stretches which stabilize the mismatched configurations. The results of the present study are briefly discussed in terms of optimum conditions for hybridization experiments and for the preparation of polynucleotide complexes commonly used to produce interferons.

    Notes: The effects of anions of neutral salts on the fluorescence emission of six proteins as well as on tryptophan and tyrosine were studied in relation to the structure of proteins. Most anions are good quenchers of tryptophyl and tyrosyl fluorescence, free or in proteins. The results with tryptophan and tyrosine indicate involvement of a collisional quenching mechanism due to agreement with Stern-Volmer law. The deactivation of fluorescence probably occurs because of the transition from singlet state to triplet state. Lehrer's modification of Stern-Volmer law was applied to proteins. The effective quenching constants ([KQ]eff) and the fraction of fluorescence available ([fa]eff) to the quencher are also calculated.In contrast to its effect on tryptophan, CH3COO- quenches tyrosyl fluorescence and ClO4- does not. The effects on fluorescence of ribonuclease and free tyrosine are similar and without any changes in emission maximum. The anions are divided into three groups based on the effect they have on tryptophan-containing proteins. (1) NO3-, NO2-, Br-, and I- have high [KQ]eff values and readily quench tryptophyl fluorescence of proteins causing a shift of emission maximum to a shorter wavelength. This change is due to the specific quenching of “exposed” tryptophan residues which are accessible to quenchers and the observed residual fluorescence is from the “buried” tryptophyls. (2) ClO4- and SCN- also quench fluorescence of tryptophan in proteins and have lower ([KQ]eff) values. In their presence the fluorescence maximum is shifted to a longer wavelength, which indicates the unfolding of a protein with [(fa)eff] = 1. (3) Cl-, CH3COO-, and SO4— do not have a direct effect on the fluorescence of tryptophan. Besides the “direct” effects, “indirect” effects on fluorophors in protein are also seen, pointing out that the neutral salts can interact in more than one manner with proteins. The effectiveness of anions in quenching fluorescence of proteins follows similar sequences which almost resemble the Hofmeister series, viz., SO4=, CH3COO- ≃ Cl- 〈 ClO4- 〈 SCN- 〈 Br- 〈 I- 〈 NO3- 〈 NO2-.

    Notes: The influence of pH upon CD spectra of H-Trp-Trp-OH, H-Trp-Trp-Gly-OH, and H-Gly-Trp-Trp-OH is investigated and data are compared with those obtained for peptides containing only one tryptophyl residue. A negative Cotton effect at around 225 nm, which in previous work has been related to an increase of the conformational rigidity in compounds having the sequence -CO-Trp-Trp, is also observed in the case of H-Trp-Trp-OH and H-Trp-Trp-Gly-OH upon deprotonation of the terminal α-amino group. These data, together with observations arising from solvent and temperature effects, give evidence that H-Trp-Trp-OH undergoes a conformational change upon going from acid to alkaline conditions, where the two aromatic side chains become conformationally more rigid relative to each other. This rigidity generates an exciton coupling between the Bb transitions of the two indoles. Hydrophobic forces, including stacking interactions, do not appear important in stabilizing this conformationally rigid structure. Rather, intramolecular electrostatic interactions (e.g., hydrogen bondings or polar interactions between the aromatic side chain and the peptide backbone) as well as interactions with the OH group(s) of the solvent, are suggested to be the salient forces. Possible structures which obey these requisites are discussed.

    Notes: The fine structure of the thermal denaturation of viral DNA's was analyzed with the spectral method established by Felsenfeld and Hirschman, and Fresco et al. A fully automated system measuring melting curves at four wavelengths at the same time was developed for this purpose. With this device, (G + C)-contents of melting components of λ DNA's were determined. The correlation between the (G + C)-content and the melting temperature of each melting component is found to be well described by the linear relationship given by Marmur and Doty. The denaturation of each component is regarded as cooperative. The Marmur-Doty relation also stands for the local denaturation of T2 DNA, which has a narrow melting range.

    Notes: We have constructed an apparatus for the simultaneous measurement of electrophoretic mobility, μ, and diffusion coefficient, D, of macromolecules and cells. It combines band electrophoresis in a vertical, sucrose-gradient stabilized column, with quasielastic laser light-scattering determination of the diffusion coefficient of the species within the band. The entire electrophoresis cell is scanned through the laser beam of the quasielastic laser light-scattering apparatus by a vertical translation stage. Total intensity light-scattering measurement at each point in the cell gives the macromolecular concentration at that point. Solvent viscosity and electrical potential are measured at each point in the cell. Application of this apparatus to resealed red blood cell ghosts and to bovine hemoglobin indicates that measurements of field, viscosity, and migration distance are reliable, and that electroosmosis is insignificant. Application to T4D bacteriophage gives μ20,w = (-1.05 ± 0.05) × 10-4 cm2/V sec and D20,w = (3.35 ± 0.10) × 10-8 cm2/sec for fiberless particles, and μ20,w = -(0.59 ± 0.03) × 10-4 cm2/V sec and D20,w = (2.86 ± 0.09) × 10-8 cm2/sec for whole phage with 6 fibers. Approximate analysis of these results with the Henry electrophoresis theory for spheres in dicates that each fiber contributes about 193 positive charges to the phage particle, compared with 327 from amino-acid analysis. The advantages and disadvantages of this apparatus, relative to conventional electrophoresis and to electrophoretic light scattering, are discussed.

These measurements were interpreted in terms of the hydrodynamic size of the above sequential polypeptides. Effects of polymer, size and concentration, and solution-salt concentration were demonstrated. Although the sequential polypeptides generally behave like polyampholytes, they do demonstrate some differences. These differences my be attributed to the ability of ionized side chains three residues apart to repel themselves, in the order His 〈 Glu 〈 Lys.

    Notes: Proton magnetic resonance spectra of model dipeptide molecules R1-C′1O1-N2H2-C2αH2αR2-C′2O2-N3H3-R3 in CCl4 solutions exhibit splited signals when investigating on mixtures of L and D enantiomers differing from the racemic composition. The major effect is observed on amide proton signals which are the ones most sensitive to the ratio of aggregation. The stereoselective dimerization of enantiomeric molecules in the so-called C5 conformational state is shown to be responsible for such a phenomenon, the intensity of which depends on the bulkiness of the side chain R2. A theoretical approach is proposed which gives predictions in close agreement with our own experimental findings.

    Notes: The depolarization thermal current method is applied to the study of the polarization phenomena in the keratin-water system. Three depolarization thermal current peaks have been evidenced in hair keratin. This paper deals with the detailed study of peak II. For the first time, the mechanism responsible for this peak is ascribed to molecular reorientation. The effect of water upon the characteristics of peak II is also described, and an activation energy of 8.4 kcal/mol is computed. These results, in connection with other studies, lead us to interpret peak II as due to the reorientation in the bound or intermediate water molecules. The effect of copper confirms that the carboxyl groups are hydration sites.

    Notes: Infrared spectroscopy was used for the determination of the base-pairing content of four specific tRNAs in deuterium oxide solution. Infrared spectra were obtained in the 1750-1550 cm-1 region at various temperatures ranging from about 15 to 90°C. Melting curves were constructed by plotting the molar extinction coefficient at ν = 1657 cm-1 versus temperature. These transition curves enabled us to determine the ranges of temperature which correspond to the ordered (partially double-stranded) or randomly coiled structure of the tRNA. For a set of wavenumbers the extinction coefficients at these temperatures were used for the calculation of the base-pairing content. The procedure employed here is based on a method described earlier by Thomas [(1969) Biopolymers 7, 325-334]. For the conditions selected for this investigation (Mg2+-free D2O-buffer; 0.01M tris-DCl, 0.015M NaCl, pD 7.5) the results of this determination agree within the limits of errors with the number of base pairs predicted by the cloverleaf model.

    Notes: We have calculated the translational and rotational frictional coefficients of structures related to T2 and T4 bacteriophage, using the theoretical framework developed in the preceding two papers. The structures considered were models for tail-fiberless phage, and for whole phage with fibers in the extended and retracted portions. We also computed and compared with the experiment the changes in translational frictional coefficient produced by successive addition of 1-6 fibers to the fiberless particle. Agreement with experimental results is markedly improved over previous theoretical efforts, especially with respect to the effect of tail-fiber extension. Some significant discrepancies remain, however, in the comparison of fiber-retracted and fiberless phage.

For the one structure, a prolate ellipsoid of revolution, for which exact solutions are available, a subunit model with the same length and volume gives asymptotic agreement with the Perrin equations. Other structures considered include plane polygonal rings, lollipops, and dumbbells.

    Notes: We have studied the effects of temperature, EDTA, and ionic strength on C-polysaccharides in solution by examining the details of the time-correlation function using a 96-channel single-clipped photon correlation spectrometer. Our linewidth results have shown that the C-polysaccharides in buffer solution form aggregates of very broad distributions. Thus, fractionation by gel-filtration chromatography is only mildly effective. Although the aggregate sizes seem to remain relatively constant from 4 to 25°C, a fraction of those aggregates break up to form smaller fragments or monomers at higher temperatures. However, the dissolution-association process is quite slow and takes days even at room temperatures before the equilibrium is reached. We have also shown that by adding an excess amoutn of EDTA, the aggregates can be broken up. Again the dramatic changes occur only at short delay times suggesting that a protion of the larger aggregates remains. Finally, the amount and size of aggregates depend upon the ionic strength which exhibit a maximum ΓT/sin2 (θ/2) around 0.1-0.2 M KCl.If the activities of polysaccharides in solution depend upon molecular size, the standard techniques such as gel-permeation chromatography and ultracentrifugation cannot properly characterize the detailed size distribution. Quasielastic laser light scattering can provide us with a qualitative model. The quantitative details must necessarily await more extensive investigations using a combination of the techniques and better fractionation procedures in an appropriate buffer solution.

    Notes: The coupling of N-acyl-α-amino-acids with α-hydroxyacid-methyl amides results in depsipeptide molecules containing two chiral centers and one ester function inserted between two amide functions. Their conformational features have been investigated by IR spectroscopy, proton magnetic resonance, X-ray diffraction, and theoretical P.C.I.L.O. calculations.It is shown that most of these molecules are folded by an intramolecular 4 → 1 hydrogen bonding. Two folded conformations, similar to the well known β turn in peptides, are described, the stability of which depends on the configurational sequence in the investigated molecule.LL and LD species are folded in two different ways whereas LG sequences containing an achiral hydroxy-acid residue accommodate both of them. The presence of a N-terminal achiral amino acid noticeably decreases the folding ratio.The above conclusions are then compared with the conformational features of homologous tripeptide molecules.

    Notes: The kinetics of complex formation between fluorescein mercuric acetate and heat-denatured DNA were studied by measuring the fluorescence quenching of this reagent. This quenching process involved no immeasurably rapid phase and it was shown that this reaction follows simple second-order kinetics. The rate constant at 25°C was estimated to be 2.9 × 104M-1 sec-1 for calf-thymus DNA (42% G + C) and 1.1 × 104M-1 sec-1 for Micrococcus lysodeikticus DNA (72% G + C). Activation parameters for this reaction were calculated from the temperature dependence of the reaction rate, and the activation entropy was found to be highly negative (-27.5 cal/mol deg for calf-thymus DNA and -25.5 cal/mol deg for M. lysodeikticus DNA). The binding of fluorescein mercuric acetate to native DNA, which requires the opening of the double-helical structure, was also followed by measuring the absorbance change of this reagent. There was a lag phase in this binding process, and the enthalpy change for the opening step corresponded roughly to that for the opening of one base pair. These findings are discussed in relation to the results of a similar study with formaldehyde.

    Notes: The formation of collagen fibrils from soluble monomers and aggregates by thermal gelation at neutral pH can be divided into two distinct stages: a nucleation phase and a growth phase. Turbidity studies of the kinetics of the precipitation reaction show that the lag-phase time or nucleation reaction time, t′l, is markedly temperature dependent while the growth reaction time is temperature independent. The activation energy of the nucleation reaction is essentially constant over the temperature range studied. In monitoring the nucleation-phase reaction by various physicochemical techniques, including viscosity, sedimentation equilibrium, and light scattering, no evidence for the formation of aggregates was observed. Enrichment of the initial collagen solution with aggregates accelerates nucleation, but de novo nuclei formation is still required even in highly aggregated collagen preparations. Removal of pepsin and pronase susceptible peptides lengthens the nucleation reaction time and increases the sensitivity of the rate of nuclei formation to changes in ionic strength. Electron microscope studies show the fibrils formed from the protease-treated collagen to be less well organized. With pepsin-treated collagen, subfibrils and obliquely striated fibrils are seen, showing that while microfibrils are formed interactions between them are modulated by the enzyme susceptible peptides in the same way that these regions modulate nuclei assembly. It appears that pepsin and pronase susceptible peptide regions of collagen play a more prominent role in the in vitro assembly of collagen molecules to form D-stagger nuclei and fibrils than do ionic interactions between helical molecular regions. A mechanism of nucleation of collagen fibrillogenesis is discussed.

    Notes: Circular dichroism spectra of the nucleic acid monomers have been measured in aqueous solution and extended into the vacuum ultraviolet region to about 166 nm. Measurements were made on ribo and deoxyribo derivatives of adenine, guanine, hypoxanthine, cytosine, thymine, and uracil derivatives both with and without the 5′-phosphate (with the exception of ribosyl thymine 5′-phosphate). Absorption spectra of the deoxyribonucleotides measured to about 175 nm are also presented. The results demonstrate that both the circular dichroism and absorption spectra observed below 200 nm are no more complicated than the spectra normally recorded above 200 nm. In most cases, the circular dichroism spectra of the various derivatives of a given base are similar, indicating that the conformations are similar. On the other hand, the differences among the circular dichroism spectra of the various derivatives of a given base are sufficient to identify a particular derivative. The average circular dichroism for the deoxyribonucleotides is compared with the circular dichroism of native E. coli DNA. The comparison reveals that the circular dichroism of DNA below 200 nm is due principally to the interaction between the bases rather than the intrinsic circular dichroism of the monomers. The monomer transitions are discussed in relationship to the absorption and circular dichroism spectra presented.

    Notes: A theory for the determination of DNA arrangements in DNA-containing specimens, using planar aromatic dye molecules as probes for plane polarization of fluorescence, has been described. At low dye-to-DNA concentrations, the dye molecules are sandwiched between the stacked bases of DNA; hence, the fluorescence from the dye bound to a local region of DNA helix is plane-polarized with the polarization direction perpendicular to the local axis of DNA. The degree of such polarization from an aligned DNA-specimen complexed with dye is determined both by the DNA orientation and the conformational state (e.g., base tilt) of DNA into that specimen. Analysis has been made of the relationship between the degree of polarization and the orientation of the emitting dipoles of dye. The dye complexes may be aligned in a mechanical shear or electric field. However, any change in the orientation distribution of the emitting dipoles due to force fields should be taken into account. With some assumptions and approximations, the magnitude and the direction of maximum polarization can be related to different orders of DNA coiling and to their various combinations. Since the measured polarization is averaged over all DNA regions of the specimen, if the magnitude of polarization is appreciable and the polarization occurs in the specific direction of the specimen, the theory helps to eliminate several probable arrangements of DNA. The predominant molecular features of the actual DNA arrangement can be determined through this process of elimination, as explained in two subsequent papers with T-even bacteriophage and chromosome systems.

    Interaction of amylose and other α-glucans with hydrophobic fluorescent probe (2-p-toluidinylnaphthalene-6-sulfonate) (1977)

    Notes: Fluorescence of 2-p-toluidinylnaphthalene-6-sulfonate (TNS) was enhanced in the presence of maltooligosaccharides, amylose, and other α-glucans. The dependence of relative TNS fluorescence intensity per glucose unit on chain length of oligosaccharides was examined. The values of binding constant and thermodynamic parameters, assuming the 1:1 complex for TNS-amylose (number-average degree of polymerization, DPN = 17), were determined by the fluorescence titration. The values of thermodynamic parameters for 1:1 complex formation of TNS-α- and β-cyclodextrins were also determined and compared with those of TNS-amylose (DPN = 17). The fluorescence intensity of TNS in the presence of amylose (DPN = 600) decreased by the action of glucoamylase and taka-amylase A. The fluorescence of TNS-amylose (DPN = 17) system increased with the increased ionic strength. In the presence of pullulan, TNS fluorescence was also enhanced and decreased by the action of pullulanase. Amylopectin enhanced TNS fluorescence rather more strongly than amylose (DPN = 17) at the same concentration. In the presence of dextran, the fluorescence of TNS was scarcely enhanced. The degree of fluorescence enhancement of TNS in the presence of α-glucans seems to reflect the structures of α-glucans in solution, since TNS fluorescence is enhanced in the hydrophobic environment or by the disturbance of free intramolecular rotation.

    Notes: Water-soluble, random copolymers containing L-methionine and N5-(3-hydroxypropyl)-L-glutamine have been prepared, fractionated, and characterized. The thermally induced helix-coil transitions of these copolymers in water have been investigated, and it has been found that incorporation of L-methionine increases the helix content of the polymers at all temperatures in the range of 0-60°C. The Zimm-Bragg parameters σ and s for the helix-coil transition in poly(L-methionine) in water were deduced from an analysis of the melting curves of the copolymers using the methods described in earlier papers.

    Vibrational modes of A-DNA, B-DNA, and A-RNA backbones: An application of a green-function refinement procedure (1977)

    Notes: Normal vibrational analysis was carried out for DNA molecules in both A and B conformations as well as for A-RNA. A simplified backbone model was examined and expanded to include the backbone phosphate-group and the ribose ring. We applied the new force-constant refinement procedure discussed in the preceeding paper [Van Zandt, L. L., Lu, K.-C. & Prohofsky, E. W. (1977) Biopolymers, 16, 2481-90] to fit some observed frequencies in the Raman spectra for all three nucleic acids with the same set of force constants. The results indicate that the observed frequency shift can be attributed to the conformational change solely. We ignored the second-order differences in force constants for the different geometries. The agreement between the observed and calculated frequencies derived from the final refined set of force constants is good and apparently justifies this assumption. Two modes previously assigned to the symmetric diester O-P-O stretch and the symmetric dioxy O‥P‥O stretch are actually fitted. They are mainly backbone phosphate-group modes. The refined ribose-ring force-constants were transferred to the calculation of the vibrational spectrum of tetrahydrofuran. The overall agreement is again good. We discuss these calculations and the resulting normal modes. We also discuss the application of the Green-function refinement scheme and several strategies adopted to bias the convergence of the procedure.

    Notes: A study of the conformational states of the dinucleotide coenzyme NAD+ has been made using semiempirical energy calculations. Taking low-energy mononucleotide structures as starting conformations, energy minimizations have been performed. The lowest energy states are stacked structures, with interactions between the adenine and nicotinamide rings. Some structures show stabilization gained from electrostatic attractions between the positively charged nicotinamide and negatively charged phosphate oxygens. These predictions correlate well with the available experimental data.
