    Description / Table of Contents: Der Einfluß von 3-Phenylenbismaleimid auf die Werkstoffeigenschaften von CaCO3 gefüllten Polypropylen-Verbundstoffen wurde untersucht. Die Verarbeitungstemperatur spielte eine entscheidende Rolle bei der Herstellung der Verbundwerkstoffe. Bei Verarbeitungstemperaturen oberhalb der Bismaleimid-Zersetzungstemperatur zeigte die Bismaleimid-Verbindung einen positiven Effekt. Die chemische Zusammensetzung der modifizierten Verbunde wurde mit den mechanischen Eigenschaften korreliert. Basierend auf ESCA-Analysen werden Wechselwirkungen zwischen dem Polymeren und CaCO, diskutiert.
    Notes: The effect of 3-phenylene bismaleimide on the mechanical performance of an inorganic filler-based polypropylene composite was studied. The selection of processing temperature played a significant role in the preparation of such composites. A positive effect of the bismaleimide compound was obtained for a processing temperature above the decomposition temperature of bismaleimide. The chemical composition of the modified composite was correlated to its mechanical strength by experimentation involving a rotatable design. An interaction between polymer and CaCO3 has been proposed based on ESCA analysis.

    Description / Table of Contents: Chemische und mechanische Eigenschaften von Zwischenprodukten der PE-Schrumpfschlauch-Produktion wurden bei unterschiedlichen Compound-Zusammensetzungen (PE, ein aromatisches Amin oder Phenolderivat als Antioxidans und in einigen Fällen ein Flammschutzmittel und/oder eine Elastomerkomponente) untersucht.Während der Herstellung, besonders während der durch Elektronenstrahlung initiierten Vernetzung, nimmt die thermooxidative Stabilität des Materials gegenüber der des compoundierten Granulats ab. Das aromatische Amin scheint bei gleicher Zusammensetzung das wirksamere und strahlungsbeständigere Antioxidans im Vergleich zum Phenolderivat zu sein. Die Oxidationsstabilität der hergestellten Schrumpfschläuche wird nicht von der Qualität des eingesetzten PE-Ausgangsgranulats beeinflußt.Durch die Alterung des Materials ändern sich die mechanischen Eigenschaften geringfügig. Die Elastomerzugabe bewirkt keine Änderung von Zugfestigkeit und Reißdehnung. Die Stabilität des Endprodukts ist bei weitem ausreichend, um den Spannungen, die beim Schrumpfen während des Gebrauchs auftreten, standzuhalten. Die gute Zugfestigkeit des Materials wird durch die Alterung ebenfalls nicht beeinträchtigt.Bei der Extrusion des Granulats tritt keine nennenswerte Änderung des Molekulargewichts bzw. der Molekulargewichtsverteilung auf. Durch die Bestrahlung wird das Material vernetzt und zu mehr als 50% unlöslich, und seine thermooxidativen Eigenschaften ändern sich deutlich gegenüber dem ursprünglichen PE und dem daraus compoundierten Material.
    Notes: Some chemical and mechanical properties of intermediate products obtained in the production of PE heat-shrinkable tubes were studied at different compositions of the material containing PE, antioxidant (aromatic amime or phenol) and, in some cases, flame retardant and/or an elastomer.In the course of the production phase, the thermooxidative stability decreases compared to that of compounded granulate. The greatest decrease is caused by irradiation. The aromatic amine seems to be a more effective antioxidant at similar compositions than the phenol derivative, and it shows a better resistance against irradiation. The oxidative stability of the finished shrinkable tubes is not affected by the quality of commercial granulate (initial polyethylene).Mechanical properties change slightly upon ageing, and the introduction of the elastomer did not alter the tensile strength and elongation at break. The remaining stability of the end product was still high enough to bear the stress of shrinking in use, and the good tensile strength of the material did not decrease upon thermal ageing either.In the extrusion of the granulated compound no significant change in the distribution and average molecular weight took place. Irradiation produced more than 50% insoluble fraction and the thermooxidative properties of the crosslinked sample changed significantly compared to the original PE and to the compound prepared from it.

    Description / Table of Contents: In the present work oxygen index (OI) measurements and thermogravimetric analysis (TG) for a series of polyurethanes based on diols and isocyanate were conducted. It was found that a correlation exists between some of the thermal degradation parameters obtained from TG and OI-values. Analysis of experimental results confirms that the amount of mass loss at 250°C is directly proportional to the OI-value. It was also found that the logarithmic temperatures of maximal decomposition rates are directly proportional to the OI-values.
    Notes: In der vorliegenden Arbeit wurden für eine Serie von Polyurethanen auf der Basis von Diol und Isocyanat der Sauerstoffindex (SI) gemessen und die thermische Zersetzung mittels thermogravimetrischer Analyse (TG) untersucht. Dabei wurde ein Zusammenhang zwischen einigen Parametern der thermischen Zersetzung und den SI-Werten gefunden. Die Auswertung der experimentellen Ergebnisse zeigte, daß die Höhe des Massenverlustes bei 250°C und die SI-Werte direkt proportional zueinander sind. Derselbe Zusammenhang besteht auch zwischen dem Logarithmus der Temperatur bei der maximalen Zersetzungsgeschwindigkeit und den SI-Werten.

    Description / Table of Contents: Poly(acrylsäre-co-acrylamid) wurde mit Zinkoxid und Kryolith (Na3AlF6) in unterschiedlichen Verhältnissen gemischt und bei Raumtemperatur zu Zahnzementen ausgehärtet. IPDT, Temperaturen bei maximaler Abbaugeschwindigkeit, Aktivierungsenergien und Frequenzfaktoren des thermischen Abbaus der Proben wurden aus thermogravimetrischen Messungen ermittelt. Die Probe mit 20 Gew.-% Kryolith in der Füllstoffmischung ist thermisch sehr stabil.
    Notes: Dental cement compositions made by mixing poly(acrylic acid-co-acrylamide) and mixtures of zinc oxide and cryolite (Na3AIF6) in various proportions of 10-50 wt.-% (w/w) were cured at room temperature. From thermogravimetric analyses of the samples, the integral procedural decomposition temperatures (IPDT), maximum decomposition temperatures, activation energies and frequency factors were evaluated. The cured cement sample containing 20 wt.-% cryolite in the filler mixture is thermally very stable.

    Description / Table of Contents: Die wasserlöslichen aromatischen Diazonium-Doppelsalze p-Diazodiphenylaminchlorid/Zinkchlorid (DZS-1) und p-Diazoanisolchlorid/Zinkchlorid (DZS-2) wurden auf ihre Verwendbarkeit als photobleichbare Farbstoffe in der Kontrastverstärkungslithographie untersucht. Nach Untersuchung der Bleicheigenschaften der hergestellten Salze wurde DZS-1 in wäßrigen Lösungen mit Poly(vinylalkohol) als Kontrastverstärkungssystem eingesetzt. Die thermische Stabilität, der Resistkontrast, die Bestrahlungsparameter und andere Bleicheigenschaften wurden untersucht. Im Vergleich zu einem handelsüblichen i-Linien-Photoresist beträgt das Kontrastverhältnis der DZS-1/PVA CEL-Schicht 1,67.
    Notes: Water soluble aromatic diazonium double salts, p-diazodiphenylamine chloride zinc chloride (DZS-1) and p-diazoanisol chloride zinc chloride (DZS-2), have been evaluated as photobleachable dyes for contrast enhancement lithography. After testing the bleaching characteristics, aqueous solutions of DZS-1 and poly(vinyl alcohol) were used as a contrast enhancement material. Thermal stability, resist contrast, exposure parameters and other bleaching characteristics of the photobleachable membranes were investigated. A. commercial i-line photoresist was used to evaluate the contrast ratio of the DZS-1/PVA CEL layer. The contrast ratio obtained in this investigation is 1.67.

    Description / Table of Contents: Methylen-4,4′-diphenyldiisocyanat und zwei unterschiedliche Bisoxazoline wurden für Kopplungsreaktionen in mit Carboxygruppen terminierten flüssigkristallinen Poly(ethylenterephthalat-co-oxybenzoat)en eingesetzt. Um definierte Bedingungen zu gewährleisten, erfolgte die Synthese von Copolyestern mit unterschiedlichen Carboxygruppenkonzentrationen. Die Bestimmung des Carboxygruppengehalts wird beschrieben.Es erfolgt ein Vergleich des Kopplungsverhaltens beider Arten von Kettenverlängerern. Es konnte nachgewiesen werde, daß die Bisoxazoline bedeutend schneller reagieren als das Diisocyanat. Durch einen geringen Überschuß and Bisoxazolin in der Reaktionsmischung konnte einer thermischen Schädigung vorgebeugt werden. Abhängig von der Menge an zugegebenem Koppler wurden bei den modifizierten Copolyestern Oxazolinendgruppen beobachtet. Außerdem werden mögliche Vernetzungsreaktionen und die thermische Stabilität diskutiert.
    Notes: Methylene-4,4′-diphenyldiisocyanate and two different bisoxazolines were used for coupling reactions in carboxy-terminated liquid crystalline poly(ethylene terephthalate-co-oxybenzoate). In order to guarantee defined conditions, copolyesters with different carboxylic group concentrations were synthesized. The determination of the carboxylic group content is described.The coupling behaviour of both types of chain extenders has been compared. It was evidenced that the bisoxazolines reacted significantly faster than the diisocyanate. A slight excess of bisoxazoline in the reaction mixture prevented thermomechanical degradation. Depending on the amount of coupling agent added, an oxazoline termination of the copolyester was observed. Additionally, probable crosslinking reactions and the thermal stability have been discussed.

    Description / Table of Contents: Der Einfluß von 3-Phenylenbismaleimid auf die Werkstoffeigenschaften von mit Talkum und Zeolith gefüllten Polypropylen-Verbundstoffen wurde untersucht. Durch geeignete Planung des Aufbaus kann die Produkteigenschaft optimiert werden. Die Kapazität zur Füllstoffaufnahme schwankt bei Polypropylen je nach Art des Füllstoffs. Ein hochbelastbarer Verbundstoff kann aus einem geeignet modifizierten, mit Zeolith gefüllten Polypropylen hergestellt werden, auch wenn der Füllstoff in der Verbundmatrix dominiert. Als Ursache dieser Verstärkung wird eine verbesserte Wechselwirkung zwischen dem Polymeren und dem Füllstoff angenommen.
    Notes: The effect of 3-phenylene bismaleimide as a modifier for talc and zeolite-filled polypropylene composites has been studied. The usefulness of the experimental design to assure best product properties has also been illustrated. Polypropylene shows a variable degree of filling capacity depending on the type of filler. A high-strength composite can be prepared with suitably modified zeolite-filled polypropylene even if filler is the dominant phase in the composite matrix. An improved interfacial interaction between polypropylene and filler is proposed to be the reason for this improvement of strength.

    Description / Table of Contents: Die katalytische Oligomerisation von 1-Decen wurde mit Komplexverbindungen mehrerer Übergangsmetalle (Co(II), Co(III), Zr(IV), Ti(IV), Cr(III), V(V)) und Alkyl-aluminiumhalogeniden als Cokatalysatoren durchgeführt. Mit einem Chrom(III)-Et3Al2Cl3-Katalysatorsystem konnten Dimere (C20), Trimere (C30) und Tetramere (C40) von 1-Decen erhalten werden. Die kinematischen Viskositäten und Fließpunkte der hydrierten Oligomere wurden bestimmt und mit den Werten handelsüblicher Proben verglichen. Ein Mechanismus für die Oligomerisation von 1-Decen mit diesem Katalysatorsystem wird vorgeschlagen.
    Notes: The catalytic oligomerization of 1-decene has been carried out employing several transition metal complexes of Co(II), Co(III), Zr(IV), Ti(IV), Cr(III), V(V) in combination with alkyl aluminum halides as cocatalysts. The chromium(III)-Et3Al2Cl3 system exhibits good oligomerizing activity yielding dimers (C20), trimers (C30) and tetramers (C40) of 1-decene. The kinematic viscosities and pour points of hydrogenated oligomers have been determined and compared with those of commercial samples. The probable mechanism of oligomerization of 1-decene on this catalyst is described.

    Description / Table of Contents: Single-component formulations of epoxy resins with reactive accelerators must be storable. The preparation of several blocked accelerators is described. The basicity of tertiary amines, which correlates with accelerating effects, as well as acidity and structure of polyphenols and modified novolacs influences the extend of blocking. The curing process was investigated by measurements of gel time and viscosity.
    Notes: Einkomponentige Epoxidharzsysteme mit effizienten Reaktionsbeschleunigern müssen lagerstabil sein. Daher wurden Versuche unternommen, Beschleuniger auf Basis von tertiären Aminen mit modifizierten Phenolnovolaken zu blockieren. Das Ausmaß der Blockierung ist sowohl von der Basizität der Amine, die mit der beschleunigenden Wirkung korreliert, als auch von der Acidität und dem strukturellen Aufbau der modifizierten Phenole abhängig. Die Bewertung der Härtungseigenschaften erfolgte über Gelzeitbestimmungen und Viskositätsmessungen.

    Description / Table of Contents: Die Bruchzähigkeit von Phenolphthalein-Poly(etherketon) bei 190°C wurde mit zwei verschiedenen Methoden bestimmt, der konventionellen Rißwachstumsmethode und der „stress whitening zone“-Methode. Die gute Übereinstimmung der Ergebnisse zeigt, daß letztere Methode zur Bestimmung der Rißinitiierung einiger Polymerer herangezogen werden kann, für die das „blunting line concept“ nicht geeeignet ist.
    Notes: Fracture toughness values of phenolphthalein poly(ether ketone) (PEK-C) at 190°C were determined by two different methods, i.e. the conventional crack growth method and the crack stress whitening zone method, which show consistent results. This indicates that the crack stress whitening zone method can be used to determine the crack initiation of some polymers for which the blunting line concept is unsuitable.

Dabei wurde eine stufenweise Auflösung des Komplexes in Abhängigkeit von der Temperatur beobachtet, die mit den Stabilitätskonstanten und den thermodynamischen Parametern korreliert wurde.

A distinct stepwise disintegration of the complex at different temperatures has been observed, and this could be correlated with the stability constant and thermodynamic parameters calculated at various temperatures.

    Description / Table of Contents: Der Einfluß von Ultraschall auf die Polymerisation und Depolymerisation von Ethylmethacrylat und der Mechanismus des Kettenabbruchs wurden untersucht. Der Polymerisationsumsatz war unabhängig von den verwendeten Ultraschallbedingungen (800 W, 35 kHz). Depolymerisationsversuche mit Ultraschall bei 20°C zeigten, daß Kettenabbruch im wesentlichen durch Disproportionierung stattfindet; dabei werden Molekulargewichte nicht unter ca. 500000 erreicht.
    Notes: The effect of ultrasound in ethyl methacrylate polymerization and depolymerization and the chain termination mechanism for ethyl methacrylate have been studied. Polymerization conversion at 60°C did not depend on energy (80 W) and frequency (35 kHz) of ultrasound applied. In ultrasound depolymerization studies at 20°C the governing termination mechanism was found to be disproportionation and the lower limiting molecular weight was Mn = 500 000.

    Description / Table of Contents: The copolymerization of acrylonitrile with maleic anhydride was investigated to synthesize acylic reactive polymers for manufacture of membranes that serve as support for covalent enzyme immobilization. The free-radical copolymer synthesis was carried out in solution (N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF), dimethylacetamide (DMAC), γ-butyrolactone, ethylene carbonate), by precipitation polymerization (dioxane) as well as bulk polymerization. The polymers were characterized using IR spectroscopy, elementary analysis, NMR spectroscopy, gel permeation chromatography, viscosity measurements, osmometry and potentiometry.The kinetic parameters were followed by dilatometric measurements up to high conversions. The anhydride content in the monomer mixtures showed a significant influence on the rate of polymerization and the molecular weight. With raised concentration of anhydride the polymerization rate and molecular weights decreased. Film forming polymers (M̄η 〉 30 000 g/mol) can be obtained by all copolymerization procedures with exception of solution polymerization in DMF and DMAC, respectively. The content of maleic anhydride in the membrane polymers did not exceed 5 mol-%, even though the maleic anhydride content in the monomer mixtures was raised up to the equimolar mixture. Nevertheless, such low maleic anhydride content of prepared membranes is enough for successful enzyme immobilization with amyloglucosidase (copolymer was prepared in γ-butyrolactone, M̄η = 49 000 g/mol, cPMSA = 0,3 mol-%).
    Notes: Die Copolymerisation des Acrylnitrils mit Maleinsäureanhydrid (MSA) wurde mit dem Ziel untersucht, acylfunktionalisierte Reaktivpolymere mit Filmbildungseigenschaften herzustellen, um diese in der Anwendung als Membran für kovalente Enzymfixierungen zu nutzen. Die radikalinitiierte Synthese der Copolymeren wurde in Lösung (Dimethylformamid (DMF), Dimethylacetamid (DMAC), γ-Butyrolacton, Ethylencarbonat), durch Fällungscopolymerisation (Dioxan) sowie in Substanz durchgeführt.Die Polymercharakterisierung erfolgte durch IR-Spektroskopie, Elementaranalyse, Kernresonanzspektroskopie, Gelpermeationschromatographie, Viskosimetrie, Osmometrie und Potentiometrie.Die Kinetik wurde durch dilatometrische Untersuchungen bis zu hohen Umsätzen verfolgt. Danach weist der Anhydridgehalt im Monomergemisch einen signifikanten Einfluß auf die Bruttopolymerisationsgeschwindigkeit und die Molmasse der Polymeren auf. Mit steigendem Anhydridanteil wird die Bruttopolymerisationsgeschwindigkeit herabgesetzt und eine Verringerung der Molmasse herbeigeführt. Die Copolymerisation von Acrylnitril und Maleinsäureanhydrid führt mit Ausnahme der Lösungspolymerisation in DMF bzw. DMAC zu Polymeren mit Molmassen oberhalb 30 000 g/mol, was ihre Anwendung als Membran ermöglicht. Die Einbaurate an Maleinsäureanhydrid in den Membranpolymeren ist bis einschließlich einer äquimolaren Zusammensetzung des Monomergemischs nicht größer als 5 mol-%. Derartig niedrige MSA-Reaktivgruppenanteile erweisen sich jedoch als ausreichend, um an einer aus einem Lösungspolymerisat (γ-Butyrolacton, M̄η = 49 000 g/mol, cPMSA = 0,3 mol-%) formierten Membran eine Enzymimmobilisierung mit Amyloglucosidase nachzuweisen.

Aus dem Azodiisocyanat wurden durch Grenzflächen-Polyaddition neuartige Azoharnstoff-Polymer hergestellt. Die zahlenmittleren Molekulargewichte, bestimmt mit der Gelpermeationschromatographie (GPC), lagen zwischen 6000 und 9000. Die Photolyse- und Thermolysereaktionen der Modellsubstanzen und der Polymeren wurden mittels UV-Spektroskopie und Differentialkalorimetrie (DSC) verfolgt und mit den Ergebnissen von ähnlichen Azoamiden verglichen.

    Description / Table of Contents: Thermotrop flüssigkristalline Copolyester aus Vanillinsäure (V), 4-Hydroxybenzoesäure (B) und Polyethylenterephthalat (E) wurden mittels 1H-NMR-Spektroskopie und Gelpermeationschromatographie (GPC) untersucht. Die neun möglichen Diaden konnten detektiert und zugeordnet werden. Die Abfolge der Grundeinheiten der V/B/E-Copolyester ändert sich mit zunehmendem B-Anteil von statistischer Verteilung zur Blockbildung und ist außerdem geringfügig von der Katalysatorkonzentration und der Polykondensationsdauer abhängig. Die GPC-Ergebnisse deuten darauf hin, daß die V/B/E-Copolyester engere Molekulargewichtsverteilungen aufweisen als die B/E-Copolyester. Mit von 0 bis 5 mol-% steigendem V-Anteil verengt sich die Molekulargewichtsverteilung. Die Gelpermeationschromatogramme der meisten V/B/E-Copolyester weisen im Unterschied zu den Einzelsignalen der B/E-Copolyester Dublett-Peaks auf.

Nine possible diads could be identified and assigned. The sequence distribution of V/B/E copolyesters tends to change from random to block with an increase of B content in the copolyesters. The sequence distribution also varies slightly with catalyst concentration and polycondensation time. GPC results suggest that the V/B/E copolyesters have narrower molecular weight distribution (MWD) than B/E copolyesters. The MWD of the copolyesters narrows gradually with increasing V content from zero to 5 mol-%. The GPC chromatograms of the most V/B/E copolyesters show double peaks, which is different from the single peak of the GPC chromatograms of the B/E copolyesters.

    Description / Table of Contents: Die Strahlungsbeständigkeit von vorbestrahltem Polypropylen mit 2,5 Gew.-% Ethylenanteil wurde mitr einem Copolymeren aus Polypropylen und einem nukleierenden Agens im Hinblick auf die Strahlungssterilisation von medizinischen Geräten verglichen. Die Transparenz des Propylen-Ethylen-Copolymeren wurde durch die Vorbehandlung verbessert. Im Vergleich mit der ebenfalls verbesserten Transparenz des Copolymeren aus Polypropylen und dem nukleierenden Agens wurde durch die Vorbestrahlung die Strahlungsbeständigkeit während der Bestrahlung und bei der Lagerung des bestrahlten Materials verbessert. Dies wird auf die geringere Kristallinität des vorbestrahlten Polypropylens aufgrund von bei der Bestrahlung gebildeten Verzweigungen zurückgeführt.
    Notes: The radiation stability of the pre-irradiated copolymer of polypropylene containing 2.5 wt.-% ethylene units is compared with a copolymer of polypropylene with a nucleating agent with regard to radiation sterilization of medical devices. It is found that transparency property of the propylene-ethylene copolymer is improved through pre-irradiation processes. This finding was compared with the co-polypropylene with nucleating agent which also gives a better transparency property. In comparison, it is found that pre-irradiated copolymer exhibits better radiation stability during irradiation and during storage after irradiation. The radiation stability of the pre-irradiated copolymer is due to its lower crystallinity caused by the formation of branches during the pre-irradiation process.

    Description / Table of Contents: Polydiaryldiazosulfide wurden durch Grenzflächenpolykondensation aus aromatischen Bisdiazoniumionen und Benzol-1,3-dithiol erhalten. Auf diese Weise wurden Molekulargewichte Mn von 3400 bis 11700 erreicht (GPC).Die neue Polymerklasse zeichnet sich durch hohe Photolabilität und relativ geringe Thermostabilität aus. Mittels UV-Spektroskopie wurde die Photolyse von Modellver-bindungen und Polymeren verfolgt, wobei in nahezu allen Fällen ein Zerfall 1. Ordnung beobachtet wurde. Der photochemische Kettenabbau konnte durch GPC-Untersuchungen verfolgt werden. Die thermische Stabilität der polymeren Diazosulfide wurde durch DSC-Messungen untersucht.
    Notes: Poly(diaryl diazosulfide)s were synthesized from aromatic bisdiazonium ions and benzene-1,3-dithiol via interfacial polycondensation. Number-average molecular weights Mn in the range of 3400 to 11700 were determined by gel permeation chromatography (GPC).The new polymer class is distinguished by high photosensitivity and low thermostability. First order kinetics during photolysis of nearly all polymers and model compounds under investigation was observed by means of UV spectroscopy. Polymer degradation upon irradiation was verified by GPC measurements. Thermal decay was followed by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC).

    Description / Table of Contents: Three different titration methods were proved with respect to accuracy, reproducibility and handling for the determination of maleic anhydride (MSA) content in acrylonitrile (AN) copolymers in form of poly(AN-co-MSA) and poly(AN-co-styrene-co-MSA). The comparison comprises (i) the combined method A/H characterized by the reaction of anhydride groups (AG) with aniline and titration of the formed monoacid with methanolic KOH (A) and the complete hydrolysis of AG and titration of acid groups (SG) with aqueous NaOH (H), (ii) method B based on the conversion of AG with n-butylamine (BA) and back-titration of unreacted amine with HClO4 in glacial acetic acid and (iii) method C consisting of the reaction of AG with p-chloroaniline (pCA) followed by Cl-determination after the Schöniger-decomposition. Whereas all mentioned methods are suitable for the determination of AG in the presence of initial SG, the combination of A/H additionally allows the simultaneous determination of AG and SG. In comparison with the other methods the combination of A/H is to be favoured due to the possibility to obtain additional information about SG and because of the better results in accuracy, reproducibility and handling. By means of FTIR spectroscopy the content of AG and SG was estimated qualitatively and a correlation between the spectroscopic and potentiometric data of AG was discovered.
    Notes: Zur Bestimmung des Maleinsäreanhydrid(MSA)-Gehaltes in Acrylnitril(AN)-Copolymeren des Typs Poly(AN-co-MSA) bzw. Poly(AN-co-Styrol-co-MSA) wurden drei verschiedene Titrationsmethoden hinsichtlich ihrer Richtigkeit, Reproduzierbarkeit sowie ihres Zeitaufwandes geprüft. Miteinander verglichen wurden (i) eine Methodenkombination A/H bestehend aus dem Teilschritt A, einer Umsetzung der Anhydridgruppen (AG) mit Anilin einschließlich der Titration der Monosäuregruppen mit methanolischer KOH, und dem Teilschritt H, einer vollständigen Hydrolyse der AG und Titration der Säuregruppen (SG) mit wäßriger NaOH, (ii) Methode B basierend auf der Reaktion der AG mit n-Butylamin (BA) und der Rücktitration des nicht umgesetzten Amins mit Perchlorsäure (HClO4) in Eisessig und (iii) Methode C, beruhend auf der Umsetzung der AG mit p-Chloranilin (pCA) und nachfolgender Chlorbestimmung durch Schöniger-Aufschluß. Während sich alle genannten Methoden prinzipiell für die AG-Bestimmung in Gegenwart initialer SG empfehlen, ist darüber hinaus über A/H eine simultane Bestimmung von AG und SG möglich. Wegen dieses zusätzlichen Informationsgewinns, ihrer besseren Reproduzierbarkeit, der erhöhten Richtigkeit sowie des geringeren zeitlichen und apparativen Aufwandes ist die Kombination A/H zu favorisieren. Mit Hilfe der FTIR-Spektroskopie wurde der Gehalt an AG und SG qualitativ verfolgt und eine Korrelation zwischen den Bandenintensitäten der AG und den potentiometrisch erhaltenen Werten gefunden.

    Description / Table of Contents: Propen und 1-Octen wurden mit dem syndiospezifischen Metallocen-Katalysator Me2C(Cp)(Flu)ZrCl2/MAO copolymerisiert. Es wurde ein hoher, statistischer Octeneinbau beobachtet. Niedrige Octenkonzentrationen beeinflußten die Aktivität des Katalysators nur wenig; Molekulargewicht, Kristallinität, E-Modul und Glastemperatur wurden dagegen mit ansteigendem Octengehalt erniedrigt. Blends aus ataktischem Oligopropen und syndiotaktischem Polypropen bzw. Poly(propen-co-octen) wurden aus einer Toluol-Lösung hergestellt. Diese Lösungsblends wurden mit einem Reaktorblend verglichen, der mit einem Hybrid-Katalysator bestehend aus einer Mischung von syndiospezifischem Me2C(Cp)(Flu)ZrCl2/MAO und unspezifischem Cp2ZrCl2/MAO hergestellt wurde. Das ataktische Oligopropen wirkte als Weichmacher, der E-Modul und Glastemperatur der Blends erniedrigte.
    Notes: Propene and 1-octene were copolymerized with the syndiospecific homogeneous metallocene catalyst Me2C(Cp)(Flu)ZrCl2/MAO. Large amounts of octene were incorporated randomly. While catalyst activity was not affected markedly by low octene content, molecular weight, crystallinity, Young's modulus, and glass transition temperature were reduced with increasing octene content. Blends of atactic oligopropene with syndiotactic polypropene and poly(propene-co-octene) were prepared from toluene solution and compared with a reactor blend prepared with a hybrid catalyst containing a mixture of syndiospecific Me2C(Cp)(Flu)ZrCl2/MAO and non-specific Cp2ZrCl2/MAO. Atactic oligopropene acted as plasticizer reducing Young's modulus and glass transition temperature of the blends.

    Description / Table of Contents: Die innere Oberfläche und das Hohlraumsystem von verschiedenartigen Celluloseregeneratfasern werden mit Röntgenkleinwinkelstreuung untersucht. Dabei wird gefunden, daß alle Fasern ein Hohlraumsystem von 0,01 bis 0,1% (Volumenanteil 10-4-10-3) aufweisen. Es zeigt sich jedoch, daß die Größe des Hohlraumsystems für die mechanischen Eigenschaften wenig Bedeutung hat. Es ist vielmehr die Gestalt der Hohlräume und ihre Orientierung, die hier wesentlich sind. Es wird gefunden, daß langgestreckte Hohlräume, vermutlich orientiert, für gute mechanische Eigenschaften verantwortlich sind. Damit können auch verbesserte textile Eigenschaften von Lyocellfasern des NMMO-Typs erklärt werden.
    Notes: Both the inner surface and the void system of different cellulose regenerate fibers are investigated with X-ray small angle scattering. Thereby it turns out that all fibers have a void system of 0.01 to 0.1% (volume fraction 10-4-10-3). However, the amount of the void system has little influence on the mechanical properties. Rather, it is the shape of the voids and their orientation which proves essential. It is found that elongated voids, probably well oriented, are responsible for superior mechanical properties. This explains also improved textile properties of lyocell fibers of the NMMO type.

    Description / Table of Contents: Die mit γ-Strahlen induzierte Polymerisation von Methacrylsäure (MA) und Acrylsäure (AA) mit Acrylamid (AAm) (M2) in Substanz wurde untersucht. Die nach Kelen-Tüdős berechneten Copolymerisationsparameter betragen r1 = 1.35 und r2 = 0.22 für MA-AAm bzw. r1 = 1.75 und r2 = 0.10 für AA-AAm. Die Polymerisationsgeschwindigkeit hängt sowohl von der Temperatur als auch von der Comonomerzusammensetzung ab. Die differentialkinetischen Kurven sind unimodal, was darauf hinweist, daß nur der Copolymerisationsprozeß abläuft. Ein zweites Maximum in diesen Kurven wird mit Vernetzung und der Bildung wasserunlöslicher Bestandteile erklärt. Die Copolymeren sind weiße Pulver; die wasserlöslichen Fraktionen sind im Gegensatz zu den wasserunlöslichen nicht giftig, aber als Immunmodulatoren weniger aktiv.
    Notes: A study was made of the γ-radiation-induced bulk copolymerization of the methacrylic acid-acrylamide (M2) (MA-AAm) and acrylic acid-acrylamide (M2) (AA-AAm) monomeric pairs. The copolymerization reactivity ratios deterined according to the Kelen-Tüdő method were: r1 = 1.35, r2 = 0.22 for the MA-AAm pair, and r1 = 1.75, r2 = 0.10 for the AA-AAm pair. It has been established that the polymerization rate depends both on the composition of the starting reaction mixture and on the reaction temperature. The differential kinetic curves obtained are unimodal ones, suggesting the occurrence of only one process, i.e. copolymerization. A second maximum in these curves, appearing at elevated temperature, is explained by crosslinking and formation of a water-insoluble fraction. The copolymers obtained are white powders; in contrast to their water-insoluble fractions, the water-soluble ones are not toxic but they are less active as immunomodulators.

    Description / Table of Contents: Die Hydrolyse von Poly(ester-urethan-harnstoffen) (PURUs) wurde untersucht. Es handelt sich dabei um einen komplexen Vorgang, der die Analyse der Beziehung zwischen der Zusammensetzung der PURUs und ihrer Hydrolysebeständigkeit erschwert. Es wurde gefunden, daß die Hydrolysebeständigkeit mit Zunahme (i) der Polyol-Acidität, (ii) des Estergruppen-Gehaltes, (iii) der Beweglichkeit der Hauptketten und (iv) deren Hydrophilie abnimmt; die Molmasse des Polyols scheint keinen merklichen Einfluß darauf zu haben. Der negative Einfluß von Ethergruppen (obwohl hydrolysebeständiger als Estergruppen) ist möglicherweise auf eine Zunahme der Hauptkettenbeweglichkeit und den dadurch leichteren Zugang von Wassermolekülen zu Estergruppen zurückzuführen. Der positive Effekt von aromatischen Ringen in Polyolen kann einer erhöhten Steifigkeit der Hauptkette als auch einer ansteigenden Hydrolysebeständig-keit benachbarter Estergruppen durch Resonanzeffekte zugeschrieben werden. Insgesamt kann angenommen werden, daß die beschriebenen Effekte sich überlagern und gleichzeitig die resultierende Hydrolysebeständigkeit vorherbestimmen. Es sollte daher möglich sein, qualitative Vorhersagen bezüglich der Hydrolysebeständigkeit in Abhängigkeit von der Zusammensetzung der PURUs zu treffen.
    Notes: Hydrolysis of poly(ester urethane ureas) (PURUs) is a complex phenomenon which impedes the analysis of the relationships between their composition and hydrolytic stability. Hydrolytic stability of PURUs decreases due to rising (i) polyol acidity, (ii) content of ester groups, (iii) flexibility and (iv) hydrophilicity of the backbones; molar mass of polyols does not seem to have any appreciable effect on it. Negative influence of ether groups (which have better hydrolytic stability than ester groups) is probably linked to the increase in the backbone flexibility and, consequently, to easier access of water molecules to ester groups. Positive effect of aromatic rings in polyols can be ascribed to enhanced rigidity of the backbones as well as to increased hydrolytic stability of adjacent ester groups due to the resonance effect. It can be presumed that the mentioned effects will superpose and simultaneously predestine the resulting hydrolytic resistance. Considering the observed tendencies, it is possible to qualitatively predict the trends how the hydrolytic stability will respond to changes in PURUs composition.

    Description / Table of Contents: Eine neuartige lichtempfindliche Naphthochinondiazid-Verbindung (NQD) wurde aus 2,6-Bis(hydroxymethyl)-3,4-dimethylphenol und Toluoldiisocyanat synthetisiert und mit IR-, NMR- und Elementaranalyse identifiziert. Die Bleicheigenschaften unter Lichteinwirkung wurden mit UV-Spektrophotometrie bestimmt. Die Anwendung von NQD in der Photolithographie als positiver Photoresist sowie einer wäßrigen Lösung von NQD, Novolak, Cellosolve-Acetat und DMF als lichtempfindliches Material wurde untersucht. Das hergestellte NQD erwies sich als effektive Komponente in positiven Photoresists. Die optimalen Bedingungen der UV-Dosis, Schichtdicke und Resistzusammensetzung wurden abgeschätzt. Die Auflösung des positiven Photoresists wurde durch Rasterelektronenmikroskopie bestimmt. Außerdem wurde der Einfluß von UV-Dosis und -Wellenlänge, Einwirkungsdauer und Entwicklungszeit auf die Empfindlichkeit und die Auflösung des Photoresists untersucht.
    Notes: A new photosensitive naphthoquinonediazide (NQD) was synthesized from 2,6-bis-(hydroxymethyl)-3,4-dimethylphenol and toluene diisocyante. NQD was identified by using IR, NMR and elemental analyses. Photobleachable characteristics were evaluated by UV spectrophotometry. Applications of the NQD on the photolithography as a positive working photoresist were investigated. The aqueous solution of NQD, novolak, cellosolve acetate, and DMF was used as a photosensitive material. It was found that NQD synthesized in this investigation can be used as an effective component in a positive photoresist. Optimal conditions of the UV dose, coating thickness, and development of the resist system were estimated. Resolution of the positive resist was evaluated by SEM technique. Effects of UV dose, exposure time, development time, and exposure UV wave length on the sensitivity and resolution of the photoresist were investigated.

    Description / Table of Contents: Die radikalinduzierte Polymerisation von phenlysubstituierten 2-Methylen-1,3-dioxanen wurde untersucht. Es kann gezeigt werden, daß die grundlegende Polymerisationstendenz derartiger Ketenacetale darin besteht, über die Doppelbindung zu hochmolekularen Polyacetalen ohne eine nennenswerte Ringöffnung zu polymerisieren. Einflußfaktoren, wie z. B. resonanzstabilisierte Kettenenden oder sterische Hinderungen während des Wachstumsschrittes sind nicht in der Lage, die Polymerisation in die Richtung der gewünschten Ringöffnung zu lenken.Mittels Dichtemessungen wurden Informationen über das Schrumpfungsverhalten gewonnen. Es konnte gezeigt werden, daß raumerfüllende Substituenten am 2-Methylen-1,3-dioxansystem bei der Homopolymerisation grundsätzlich eine geringe Volumenschrumpfung bewirken und die Schrumpfung von herkömmlichen Monomeren bei der Copolymerisation herabsetzen können.
    Notes: We have investigated the free radical polymerization of phenyl-substituted 2-methylene-1,3-dioxanes. It was shown that there is a basic tendency of such ketenacetals to undergo exclusively a vinyl polymerization forming high-molecular polyacetals without any detectable ring opening. The polymerization with the desirable ring opening reaction cannot be controlled by factors like resonance stabilized chain ends or steric hindrance in the growing step.From densitometric measurements we got new information about the shrinkage behaviour. It was demonstrated that bulky substituents attached to the 2-methylene-1,3-dioxane system result in a significant low shrinkage in homopolymerization and the shrinkage of common comonomers can be decreased by copolymerization.

    Description / Table of Contents: Bacteriorhodopsin is a component of the purple membrane of Halobacterium halobium. It shows photochemical activity and undergoes a series of photocyclic-associated conformational changes. Incorporated in a matrix it is suitable as a light energy/electrical current transducer. Very important is an orientation of purple membrane fragments.The reaction between solutions of a polyelectrolyte and multivalent ions leads to a ionotropic gel, that is a gel with an ordered structure. If the gel formation was carried out in the presence of purple membrane fragments, the Bacteriorhodopsin is highly oriented and produces a photoelectrical signal. It consists a correlation between the light direction and the orientation of the purple membrane due to the gel formation.
    Notes: Bacteriorhodopsin ist Bestandteil der sogenannten Purpurmembran des Mikroorganismus Halobacterium halobium. Es zeigt photochemische Aktivität und kann als biologischer Lichtwandler fungieren. Voraussetzung hierfür ist eine orientierte Anordnung der Purpurmembran in einer Matrix.Das Prinzip der ionotropen Gelbildung, d. h. die geordnete Strukturbildung einer Polyelektrolytlösung infolge eines gerichteten Diffusionsstromes von mehrwertigen Ionen gestattet die orientierte Anordnung der Purpurmembran. Durch Lichteinwirkung werden elektrische Signale induziert. Es besteht ein Zusammenhang zwischen der Richtung des Strahlungseinfalls und der durch die Gelwachstumsrichtung festgelegten Orientierung der Purpurmembran.

    Notes: The thermal oxidation of β ray-crosslinked polyethylene (XLPE) was studied in temperatures ranging from 90 to 180°C. Various analytical methods were used for determination of an end of the induction period on bulk samples: gravimetry, ultimate tensile properties, density and color change. On microtome slices of ∼30 μm thickness the depth distribution of oxidation products, phenolic antioxidant, density and tensile ultimate properties were followed as a function of exposure time by respectively IR and UV spectrophotometry, densitometry and Microfoil Tensile Testing.Depending on the testing method different durations of induction period (DIP) were obtained. They increase in following order:Phenol depletion 〈 Ultimate elongation 〈 Density 〈 Carbonyl build-up ≤ Color change 〈 Weight loss.The difference between phenol depletion DIP and carbonyl build-up DIP can be considered as negligible at temperatures higher than the melting point (about 30%) but it reachs more than 100% at T〈 Tm.Different kinetic regimes of phenol consumption were observed depending on the exposure temperature. A mechanistic interpretation is proposed explaining the role of the stabilizer system in initially homogeneous and later heterogeneous oxidation of the bulk material.The Arrhenius law was applied to different durations of induction period. A discontinuity appeared in the melting point region (120-130°C) which is tentatively interpreted in terms of different stabilizer concentration in amorphous phase of semicrystalline material (T 〈 Tm) and in melt material (T 〉 Tm). On the basis of the presented complex study of polyethylene thermo-oxidation, different aspects of lifetime predictions are discussed.

    Notes: Most plastics are produced from oil and have a high potential as hydrocarbon sources for the chemical industry. Pyrolysis is a practicable way to pyrolyze mixed plastics. The fluidized bed pyrolysis has turned out to be particularly advantageous. 25 to 45 percent of product gas with a high heating value and 30 to 50 percent of an oil rich in aromatics, could be recovered. The oil is comparable to that of a mixture of light benzene and bituminous coal tar. Up to 60 percent of ethene and propene are produced by using mixed polyolefins as feedstock. Under appropriate conditions the pyrolysis could be successful on the market.

    Notes: When poly(methyl methacrylate) films containing UV absorbers are exposed to UV light, the absorbers undergo photodegradation resulting in loss of absorbance. If the data extend for less than one half-life, both zero and first order kinetic treatment give fairly linear fits, but the rate constants so derived are dependent on the initial absorbance of the films. When the zero order rate constants are corrected to account for the higher rate of degradation near the surface compared with the bulk that occurs in highly absorbing films, consistent “infinite absorption” zero order rate constants are derived. The inhomogeneous degradation is due to only the highly absorbed, higher energy light contributing significantly to the degradation. For the benzophenone and benzotriazole classes of absorber, at least 65% of the degradation is due to light with wavelengths 〈 350 nm. Structural variations generally caused only small differences in the rates of degradation of these classes of absorbers unless the substitutions disrupted the intramolecular hydrogen bonds that are critical for stability. If the hydrogen bond is weakened, the absorber is less stable.

    Description / Table of Contents: Aus Cardanol, einem Bestandteil der Schale der Cashewnuß, wurde durch Kondensation mit Formaldehyd und substituierten aromatischen Verbindungen unter saurer oder basischer Katalyse eine Reihe von Harzen hergestellt und anhand ihrer IR-Spektren charakterisiert. Sie lassen sich als selektive Ionenaustauscher für bestimmte Ionen verwenden, was mittels einer Gleichgewichtsmethode geprüft wurde. Das thermische Verhalten der Harze wurde untersucht, und ein plausibler Abbaumechanismus wird vorgeschlagen.
    Notes: A large number of resins have been synthesized by reacting cardanol, a constituent of cashewnut shell liquid, with formaldehyde and substituted aromatic compounds in the presence of acidic and basic catalysts. The resins have been characterized by IR spectra. They were shown to be selective ion exchangers for certain metal ions. A batch equilibrium method was used for studying the selectivity of the metal ions. The thermal behaviour of the resins has been studied and a plausible degradation mechanism has been suggested.

    Notes: Bisphenol A polycarbonate (BPA-PC) is an important high performance engineering thermoplastic well known for its outstanding combination of toughness, transparency and heat resistance. These properties make it an idel material for demanding applications where it is exposed to external stresses such as elevated temperatures, ultraviolet light and γ-ray sterilization. However, on extended exposure to these conditions, BPA-PC slowly degrades, turning progressively more yellow, eventually leading to a decrease in its physical properties. Over the years, there has been numerous studies made to understand these degradative processes so as to better design more stable BPA-PC formulations. In this paper, this chemistry is briefly reviewed along with more recent work in this area with a special emphasis on the efforts made to identifying the actual chemical species responsible for the observed yellow color and the chemistry responsible for their formation.

    Notes: Hindered Amine Light Stabilizers (HALS) are know to inhibit the photo-oxidation of polymers. A key reaction in their stabilization mechanism is believed to be the conversion of a hindered aminoether into a nitroxyl radical. Several different possible mechanisms for this conversion were explored. One, the elimination of the aminoether to form an olefin and hydroxylamine (an intermediate in the formation of a nitroxyl), while possible at high temperatures, cannot account for the inhibitory activity we observed for secondary and primary aminoethers. Direct radical displacement by peroxy radicals was also considered. However, the products predicted by this reaction pathway were not observed. Finally, oxidation of the nitrogen by a peroxy radical, by either electron transfer or a radical attack on the nitrogen, was investigated. While electron transfer was shown to be unlikely, direct oxidation of the aminoether nitrogen was supported by our results. A detailed mechanism for the reaction of both alkyl- and acyl-peroxy radicals with aminoethers is proposed.

    Description / Table of Contents: Die thermischen und dynamisch-mechanischen Eigenschaften einiger linearer kautschukelastischer Polyurethane mit chemisch unterschiedlichen starren Segmenten wurden untersucht und zur chemischen Zusammensetzung in Beziehung gesetzt. Interessante Zusammenhänge wurden zwischen der Kristallinität der elastischen Polyurethanharnstoffe und der aromatischen oder cycloaliphatischen Natur der Diisocyanat-Komponenten gefunden. Darüber hinaus scheinen die Ergebnisse bei einem bestimmten Verhältnis zwischen starren und flexiblen Segmenten und bei gegebener Zusammensetzung der flexiblen Gruppen auf eine bessere Phasenseparation bei den Polyurethanharnstoffen mit cycloaliphatischen starren Segmenten als bei solchen mit aromatischen, starren Einheiten hinzuweisen.
    Notes: Experimental batches of linear rubber-like polyurethanes characterized by the presence of chemically different hard segments are studied and their thermal and dynamic-mechanical properties are related to the differences in chemical compositions. Interesting correlations are found between the development of crystallinity in such elastomeric poly(urethaneurea)s and the aromatic or alicyclic nature of the diisocyanate. Moreover, for a fixed ratio between hard and soft segments, and for a given composition of the soft segment, the results seem to indicate a better degree of phase separation in cycloaliphatic-based hard segment poly(urethaneurea)s than in aromatic-based hard segment poly(urethaneurea)s.

    Description / Table of Contents: Makromonomere Polyethylenoxid-Azoinitiatoren (Makroinimere) MIM-400 und MIM-1500 wurden synthetisiert und IR- und NMR-spektroskopisch sowie mit Hilfe der DSC-Analyse charakterisiert. Die mit diesen Makroinimeren initiierte Dispersions-polymerisation von Styrol bzw. Methylmethacrylat (MMA) in Ethanol/Wasser bei 60°C wurde untersucht. Dabei wurde gefunden, daß die Polymerisationsgeschwindig-keit mit zunehmender MIM-Konzentration ansteigt, wobei der Anstieg im Styrolsystem ausgeprägter war. Im Bereich von mittleren Umsätzen konnte gezeigt werden, daß die Polymerisationsgeschwindigkeit von MMA proportional der Potenz 1,7 bzw. 1,6 von [MIM-400] bzw. [MIM-1500] ist, während für Styrol eine Potenz von 2,5 bezüglich [MIM-400] gefunden wurde.
    Notes: Macromonomeric poly(oxyethylene) azoinitiators (macroinimers) MIM-400 and MIM-1500 were synthesized and characterized by IR and NMR spectroscopy and DSC techniques. The dispersion polymerizations of styrene and methyl methacrylate (MMA) initiated by poly(oxyethylene) macroinimers (MIM-400 and MIM-1500) in water/ethanol were investigated at 60°C. The rate of polymerization was found to increase with increasing concentration of MIM and the increase was more pronounced in the styrene system. In the range of medium conversions the rate of polymerization was found to be proportional to the 1.7th and 1.6th power of [MIM-400] and [MIM-1500] for MMA and to the 2.5th power of [MIM-400] for styrene, respectively.

    Description / Table of Contents: Glass transition temperatures of binary and ternary blends of chemically uniform poly(styrene-co-n-butyl methacrylate)s with a mean content of 30.8 wt.-% of n-butyl methacrylate and number-average molar masses in the range of 4900 and 67000 g/mol have been investigated in relation to their composition. The blends showed significant deviations from an ideal behaviour with reference to a linearity between glass transition temperature and composition.This phenomenon is described by a mathematical model where polynoms are particularly well suited to represent the glass transition temperatures of the blends, partly exceeding those of the pure components. Finally, various reasons of these deviations were discussed. Here, energetical interactions seem to be of considerable importance combined with a nonadditivity of volumes.
    Notes: Die Glasübergangstemperaturen binärer und ternärer Mischungen chemisch einheitlicher Poly(styrol-co-n-butylmethacrylat)e mit einem mittleren n-Butylmethacrylat-Anteil von 30,8 Gew.-% und unterschiedlichen zahlenmittleren Molmassen im Bereich von 4900 bis 67000 g/mol wurden in Abhängigkeit von der Zusammensetzung untersucht. Es wurden wesentliche Abweichungen vom idealen Verhalten bezüglich einer linearen Abhängigkeit zwischen Glasübergangstemperatur und Zusammensetzung festgestellt.Dieses Verhalten konnte mit einem mathematischen Modell dargestellt werden, wobei sich insbesondere Polynome zur Beschreibung der teilweise über den Werten der Ausgangskomponenten liegenden Glasübergangstemperaturen der Mischungen als geeignet erwiesen. Schließlich wurden verschiedene Ursachen für diese Abweichungen diskutiert, wobei offensichtlich energetische Wechselwirkungen verbunden mit einer Nichtadditivität der Volumina von wesentlicher Bedeutung sind.

    Description / Table of Contents: ε-Caprolactam (CL) and phenyl glycidyl ether (PGE) were homopolymerized using the initiator/accelerator-systems Na-caprolactam/N-acetyl-caprolactam (NaCL/AcCL) and Na-caprolactam/N-acetyl imidazole (NaCL/AcImi). In a one-pot reaction both monomers gave different oligomeric reaction products depending on the reaction temperature (100°C to 140°C, max. 240°C) but no regular copolymers. Soluble products were separated by HPLC and identified by means of spectroscopic methods. In acetone insoluble products were investigated by IR- and NMR-spectroscopy, mass spectrometry and elemental analysis.

CL und PGE wurden in unterschiedlichen molaren Verhältnissen (CL : PGE = 1 : 5 bis 1 : 0,05) und bei Temperaturen zwischen 100°C und 140°C (max. 240°C) in einer Eintopfreaktion polymerisiert.Die löslichen Produkte wurden mittels HPLC getrennt und spektroskopisch identifiziert. Die in Aceton unlöslichen Produkte wurden mit IR- und NMR-Spektroskopie, Massenspektrometrie (MS) und Elementaranalyse untersucht.

    Description / Table of Contents: 2-Methylaziridin (MAz) wurde als nukleophiles Monomeres mit den elektrophilen Monomeren Acrylsäure (AA) bzw. Methacrylsäure (MA) in unterschiedlichen Verhältnissen ohne Initiator copolymerisiert. Die Copolymeren wurden mittels Elementaranalyse, FT-IR- und 1H-NMR-Spektroskopie charakterisiert. Die Copolymerisationsparameter wurden mit den Methoden nach Fineman-Ross bzw. Kelen-Tüdős bestimmt. Für r1 und r2 wurden die Copolymerpaare MAz-AA und MAz-MA jeweils Werte 〈 1 ermittelt, was auf statistische Copolymere mit einer Tendenz zu alternierenden Copolymeren hinweist. Thermische Zersetzung mit einem Gewichtsverlust von 10% tritt bei den Copolymeren erst oberhalb 430 K auf. Der thermische Abbau verläuft nach einer Reaktion nullter Ordnung. Die kinetischen Parameter der Zersetzung der Copolymeren wurden bestimmt.
    Notes: 2-Methylaziridine (MAz) as a nucleophilic monomer and acrylic acid (AA) and methacrylic acid (MA), respectively, as electrophilic monomers were copolymerized in the absence of initiator at various feed ratios. Copolymers were characterized by elemental analysis, FT-IR and 1H-NMR spectroscopy. The monomer reactivity ratios were determined by the Fineman-Ross and Kelen-Tüdős methods. Values of r1 and r2 were found to be less than unity for MAz-AA, and MAz-MA, corresponding to random copolymers with the tendency to the alternance. For all the copolymers the thermal decomposition with 10% weight loss is higher than 430 K. The reaction order for degradation of all copolymers was zero. The kinetic parameters of the decomposition were determined for all copolymers.

    Notes: The mechanism of the solid state oxidation of isotactic polypropylene films and the the mechanism of inhibition by HALS have been investigated by kinetic-ESR and kinetic modelling with derivation of the rate constants for the sensitive steps in the reaction scheme. The results have shown the inadequacy of the Denisov cycle to account for the observed experimental kinetics of the intermediate nitroxyl radicals. The molecular dynamics associated with the oxidation inhibited by HALS in the polypropylene matrix has been investigated by applying the Liouville stochastic method to the analysis of the temperature effects of the ESR spectra of the intermediate nitroxyl radicals used as spin probes. The investigation on the nature and characteristics of the molecular motions available at the oxidation sites has also been carried out with nitroxyl spin labels bound to the PP chains. For this application a novel method of spin labelling was developed based on reactions with some of the oxidation products, namely the terminal and intrachain ketones (keana method), alcohols, peroxides and macroalkyl radicals.

    Notes: As plastics are being used in a variety of applications, demands on a greater level of processing stability are increasing. Phosphites are noteworthy as effective processing stabilizer and the performance of phosphite antioxidants can be correlated to the chemical structure of phosphites. Cyclic phosphite esters derived from 2, 2′ methylene bis-2, 4-di-tert-butylphenol and some commercially available phosphites were submitted to comparative studies. Decomposition of cumene hydroperoxide, melt flow of polypropylene and consumption of additives after multiple extrusions were investigated to understand the activity of phosphites as process stabilizers in polypropylene.This study suggests that phosphites play an important role in process stabilization when used in combination with sterically hindered phenols, and that the activity of phosphites may be predicted by their reactivity on hydroperoxide.

    Notes: The template directed synthesis of poly[d(A-T)] from the nucleoside triphosphates in the presence of DNA polymerase I is carried out continuously in a stirred flow reactor for the first time. The initial objective is to test the kinetic stability of the established steady states at various flow rates. Graphical analysis predicts instable steady states for certain high flow rates. As a consequence of instabilities multiple steady states and steady-state hysteresis may occur. Steady-state hysteresis has now been found experimentally. For a different enzyme fraction of low exonuclease activity we found the steady-state absorbance at 260 nm to be almost invariant with flow rate at high enzyme concentrations even if the flow rate was increased by a large factor. We call this phenomenon kinetic buffering. Relaxation of a large flow perturbation approaches the steady state in a sigmoidal fashion. Concentration oscillations at 260 nm occurred in one experiment using an enzyme fraction of low exonuclease activity after perturbing the steady state by monomer (dATP). Advantages of the stirred flow reactor method over serial transfer are discussed.

    Notes: The far-ultraviolet circular dichroic spectrum of the 39-residue peptide hormone porcine corticotropin and the biologically active fragment corticotropin 1-24 is negative from 250 nm to 195 nm in water, but in 6M guanidinium chloride a positive band appears at about 225 nm. The temperature and guanidinium chloride dependence of this spectral transition indicates the absence of any stable ordered secondary structure in corticotropin and the spectrum is seen to be in only partial agreement with results using the model peptide chromophore, Ala-Ala-Ala. Using oligopeptides containing aromatic amino acid residues sandwiched between glycyl residues, it is shown that the shape and intensity of the corticotropin 225 nm positive band which appears in 6M guanidinium chloride is in agreement with the far-ultraviolet transitions of the aromatic chromophores in the hormone. Curve resolution of the near-ultraviolet circular dichroic spectrum of corticotropin and comparison of the rotational strengths of the phenylalanyl and tyrosyl bands reveals no evidence for increased rotational freedom in 6M guanidinium hydrochloride. Spectral changes are observed, however, in the transitions arising from the single tryptophan. This study suggests that corticotropin in aqueous solution may serve as a better model for the circular dichroic spectrum of the aperiodic regions in globular proteins than either synthetic homopolypeptides or reference proteins for which spectral and X-ray diffraction data are available.

    Notes: An all-order classical coupled oscillator theory in which monomer band shapes are explicity taken into account is applied to the calculations of polynucleotide circular dichroism. Calculations are shown for ApA and oligoadenylic acid of varying chain lengths, in both RNA and B-DNA geometry, and the advantages of this theory are assessed. By introducing an effective dielectric constant, good agreement with measured spectra is obtained. Variations in monomer parameters are tested in an attempt to eliminate remaining discrepancies between calculated and measured spectra.

    Notes: New techniques in laser Raman spectroscopy are used to obtain spectra of aqueous solutions of lysozylme for frequency shifts as small as 5 cm-1. In addition, Raman measurements are made on two crystalline forms of hen egg white lysozyme. The spectra obtained from the solution and from the crystal are found to be similar for frequencies above 100 cm-1. However, a low-frequency band at 25 cm-1 observed in crystalline lysozyme is not found in the solution, indicating that this band cannot be attributed to an internal molecular vibration.

    Notes: The adsorption of protein films on polystyrene latex spheres was studied by optical mixing spectroscopy. With this technique, we show that both the hydrodynamic thickness of protein films and their optical density can be measured. Thus, we found that films of the glycoproteins isolated from the human erythrocyte membrane were four times as thick as films of either human serum albumin or bovine serum albumin for about the same surface coverage. This result suggests an end-on orientation for the adsorbed glycoprotein molecules, which is consistent with the model proposed by others for the orientation of these molecules at the surface of the red blood cell itself.

    Notes: Solvent binding to bovine serum albumin in 2-chloroethanol-water mixed solvents of different composition, measured previously by Inoue and Timasheff (Biopolymers (1972) 11, 737-43) is applied to a hydrodynamic study of the solvated protein.From sedimentation and diffusion data, the apparent molecular weight of the solvated protein particle can be calculated, provided an average partial specific volume, computed from the composition of the particle, is introduced in Svedberg's equation. The unsolvated molecular weight of the protein can than be calculated by subtraction of the bound solvent. Further data on the hydrodynamic particle (f/fmin and axial ratio of the equivalent ellipsoid) are readily calculated from these experiments, and reinforce the supposition that 2-chloroethanol is a strong helix-inducing solvent.

    Notes: We have carried out a detailed study of ligand binding of ferrihemoglobins under various conditions. Our results show that n varies with time and that this variation is paralleled by changes in the spectrum of methemoglobin. This suggests some form of structural perturbation. The time-dependent value of n is discussed in terms of the observed spectral changes accompanying prolonged equilibration.

    Notes: The nmr titration curves of chemical shifts versus pH were observed for the protons of various histidine-containing di- and tripeptides. With these results, the macroscopic pKa values and the chemical shifts intrinsic to each ionic species were determined by a computer curve-fitting based on a simple acid dissociation sequence. The pKa value of the imidazole ring in N-acetyl-L-histidine methylamide was assumed to represent the intrinsic (or unperturbed) pKa of the imidazole rings of histidine having peptide linkages at both the CO and NH sides. The pKa values of the imidazole rings observed for most di- and tripeptides were reasonably reproduced by simple calculations using the intrinsic value and the perturbations due to the CO2- and NH3+ groups located at various positions. Some other factors affecting the pKa value of the imidazole ring are also discussed.

    Notes: The hyperchromic and hypochromic changes in the intensity of the amide-I and amide-III lines of polypeptides and certain ring vibrations of the bases of polynucleotides are shown to be related to similar changes in the lower energy uv absorption bands. The selection rules strictly limit the pairs of excited electronic states that can contribute to the elements of the polarizability matrix. An energy-dependent term in this equation weights the contribution of the pairs of electronic transitions in favor of those involving the lower energy transitions. For both polypeptides and polynucleotides, there is a large hypochromic inensity change in the first π → π* exciton band upon the coil-to-helix transition. Through the selection rules, certain conformationally sensitive Raman lines are shown to derive their intensity predominantly from this band and hence also display hypochromism. Again, through an application of the selection rules, certain Raman lines can be demonstrated to depend predominantly for their intensity upon the n → π* transition, and consequently have the opposite hyperchromic intensity change upon the same conformational transition.

    Notes: Transient electric birefringence experiments have been performed on well-characterized highly monodisperse samples of tobacco mosaic virus (TMV). Experiments and calculations are presented that show that the sensitivity and accuracy of the traditional transient electric birefringence technique can be enhanced by several orders of magnitude through the use of a low-powered laser and crystal polarizing optics, signal averaging, and digital data processing. Measurements of the field-free decay of the birefringence yield for the rotational diffusion coefficient, DR = 318 ± 3 sec-1. The length of the rodlike virion, calculated from the Broersma equation with this value of DR and a rod diameter of 15 nm, is 292.5 ± 1.0 nm. Measurements of the growth of the birefringence when an electric field is applied across the sample yield μ2/kT(α∥ - α⊥) = 0.47 ± 0.07, where μ is the permanent dipole moment (assumed parallel to the symmetry axis of the virus) and α∥ - α⊥ is the electrical polarizability anistropy of the virus. Using the value of α∥ - α⊥ measured by O'Konski et al., we then obtain μ = 2.5 × 10-14 esu cm.

    Notes: The high-resolution nmr spectrum of baker's yeast tRNACUALeu, a recently sequenced non-denaturable tRNA, has been compared with the spectra of the native and denatured conformers of the closely related species tRNAUUGLeu. Because of the presence of many common base pairs in the different tRNA's, it is possible to assign most of the low-field resonances to specific secondary-structure base pairs. A comparison of the observed positions of the various resonances with those predicted by a semiempirical ring-current shift theory shows a root-mean-square deviation of 0.14, 0.11, and 0.12 ppm for tRNAUUGLeu (native), and tRNAUUGLeu (denatured), respectively. These results support the ring-current shift theory currently used to interpret the low-field nmr spectra of the tRNA molecules. Differences between the predicted and observed positions of some resonances provide new evidence for higher order effects such as shifts from second nearest neighbors, anomalous shifts exerted by G·U base pairs, and tertiary-structure effects. A model that was previously proposed for the denatured conformer of tRNAUUGLeu is also supported.

    Notes: The molecular theory of the previous paper in this series is extended to determine the effect of divalent metal ions on helix stability relative to coil at fixed ionic strength and nucleotide phosphate concentration. Specification of the state of condensed counterions, as well as their concentration, is essential for the solution of this problem, and it is assumed that they translate freely within a thin cylindrical shell close to the polynucleotide. As a function of divalent counterion concentration mB2+ the relative stability of the helix is highly nonlinear. Although the overall trend is that the helix stability increases with addition of divalent metal ion, there is a narrow concentration range for which it decreases slightly. The behavior of the relative stability as a function of mB2+ is determined by the translational degrees of freedom of the counterions, both univalent and divalent, both condensed and uncondensed. Detailed comparison of the theory with data is not given here, but it is pointed out that the calculated values of the relative stability are consistent with the order of magnitude of the observed effect Mg2+ on the melting temperature.

    Notes: The stability constant of the complex of tRNA with 50S subunits of ribosomes was compared in ordinary and heavy water. A considerable effect (about fourfold) was observed, showing the importance of hydrogen bonds in this interaction. In addition, the isotope effect of complementary polynucleotide interaction was measured for two examples. In the case of the binary complex of heptainosinic acid oligomers with poly(C) in the presence of 10-3 M MgCl2, the transfer from ordinary to heavy water gave an increase of the stability constant of about 5%. But in the case of a ternary complex of hexaadenylic acid with poly(U) under the same conditions, the stability constant in D2O increased threefold. The isotope effect depends strongly on magnesium ion concentration and is possibly due to some specific mechanism of magnesium ion complexing involving water molecules.

    Notes: Monte-Carlo calculations of geometric and thermodynamic characteristics of the α-helix and the β-structure of polypeptides have been carried out. To describe a hydrogen bond both the Lippincott-Schroeder and Morse potentials were used. The internal rotation angles ϕ and ψ in the α-helix have been shown to fluctuate in the range of ±7°. The distribution functions on angles ϕ and ψ and on hydrogen bond lengths and angles in the α-helix have been computed and compared with those in myoglobin and lysozyme. Thermodynamic characteristics of the α-helix calculated in different approximations with the two forms of the hydrogen bond potentials have also been compared. The data obtained are close to the experimental values for polypeptides in neutral solution.Some geometric and thermodynamic characteristics of the regular parallel and antiparallel and irregular antiparallel β-structure have been found. In the β-structure the internal rotation angles vary within the interval ±15-20°. An increase in the cross and longitudinal dimensions of the β-structure only slightly influence both the geometric and thermodynamic characteristics.

    Notes: The preparation of the co-oligopeptides of the series H-Gly-Phe-(Gly)n-Trp-Gly-OH (n = 0, 1, 2) and of other free peptides of glycine, L-tryptophan, and L-phenylalanine is reported. The syntheses have been carried out by conventional methods, using N-hydroxysuccinimide esters for the coupling steps. The ultraviolet absorption properties of the free peptides have been investigated in water. No hypo- or hyperchromicity was found for the aromatic chromophores, with the exception of H-Gly-Phe-Trp-OH, which shows a small but significant hypochromicity. The contribution of the peptide bond to the molar absorptivity in the far ultraviolet has been separated from that of the side chain plus the —COO- group by plotting the measured molar absorptivity ∊ of the farthest accessible uv maximum as a function of the number of peptide bonds (nA). The peptide bond contribution proved to be independent of nA in the range nA = 1-5, thus ruling out the onset of helical conformations in the longer chain peptides.

    Notes: The properties of the electron distribution in amides, peptides, and carboxylic acids, obtained from ab-initio molecular orbital calculations using both minimal and extended basis sets have been studied. These properties are discussed in terms of some of the common assumptions made in empirical conformational calculations of biomolecules. In particular, population analyses of 15 compounds in these families were carried out with both the minimal and extended basis sets, and compared with results of CNDO/2 calculations. It is suggested that population analysis is a useful tool for recognizing patterns of charge distributions, and investigating the transferability of parameters of different functional groups. However, its use for providing partial charges for conformational analysis is a questionable procedure.A more detailed analysis of the charge distribution was carried out by calculating the spatial electron distribution in the four compounds, N-methylacetamide, acetic acid, diketopiperazine, and N-acetyl-N′-methylalanine. Both total electron-density maps and differencedensity maps are presented. The properties of the overall shape of the molecule and the atoms in the molecule, are discussed in terms of the former along with three-dimensional shape plots of the total density. The distortion accompanying molecular formation, resulting in such features as the lone pair orbital and “bonding deensities” is discussed in terms of the difference maps. Semiquantitative estimates of the bonding and orbital densities resulting from the integration of the densities are also presented. Finally, one of the novel features of the study is the presentation of three-dimensional surfaces of constant difference densities from which the shapes of the orbitals and bonding densities emerge.

    Notes: The lack of the positive band at around 226 nm in the CD spectra of poly(prolyl-azetidine-2-carbonyl-proline) in trifluoroethanol and of poly(azetidine-2-carbonyl-prolyl-azetidine-2-carboxylic) acid in F3EtOH and water, the hyperchromism of the absorption maximum at about 202 nm, and the extremely small intensity of the Cβ-Pro, Cγ-Pro, and Cβ-Aze signals for the cis peptide bonds in the 13C nmr spectrum of poly(Pro-Aze-Pro) in F3EtOH indicate that both polyproline analogs exist as disordered chains in this solvent, the trans peptide group being maintained. The disordering of the chains is attributed to an increase in the accessible range of ψ due to the reduced dimensions of the square ring of L-azetidine-2-carboxylic acid residue relative to the pyrrolidine ring of proline and to strong interactions of the haloalcohol with the peptide groups of the chains.

    Notes: Two methods for the characterization of protein molecular weights from their diffusion coefficients are discussed. These measurements can be made quickly and reliably at low concentrations using quasielastic light-scattering techniques. First, an empirical calibration of the diffusion coefficient at infinite dilution of denatured random coils against molecular weight is reported. The second method combines the measurement of D0 with the intrinsic viscosity [η]. This D0-[η] relationship proves to be very insensitive to polymers structure or solvent type. The data indicate that the ratio of the hydrodynamic radius measured by viscosity to the hydrodynamic radius measured by diffusion is about 15% smaller than that predicted by theoretical models. The nature of the molecular-weight average obtained for polydisperse systems is defined for a Schulz distribution. These hydrodynamic methods have also been used to demonstrate the presence of chain branching in the glycoprotein ovomucoid. In addition, a method is proposed by which the effective segment length and an excluded volume parameter for random coils may be evaluated for diffusion measurements.

    Notes: The influence of one DNA region on the stability of an adjoining region (telestability) was examined. Melting curves of three block DNA's, d(C15A15)·d(T15G15), d(C20A15)·d(T15G20), and d(C20A10)·d(T10G20) were analyzed in terms of the nearest neighbor Ising model. Comparisons of predicted and experimental curves were made in 0.01 M and 0.1 M sodium ion solutions. The nearest neighbor formalism was also employed to analyze block DNA transition in the presence of actinomycin, a G·C specific molecule. The results show that nearest neighbor base-pair interaction cannot predict the melting curves of the block DNA's. Adjustments in theoretical parameters to account for phosphate repulsion assuming a B conformation throughout the DNA's do not alter this conclusion. Changes in the theoretical parameters, which provide good overall agreement, are consistent with a substantial stabilization of the A·T region nearest the G·C block. The melting temperature T A·T for the average A·T pari in d(C20A10)·d(T10G20), with 10 A·T pairs, appears to be 4°C greater than TA·T for d(C15A15)·d(T15G15) and d(C20A15)·d(T15G20), both with 15 A·T pairs. Actinomycin bound to the G·C end effectively stabilizes the A·T end by 9°C. These results indicate a long-range contribution to the interactions governing DNA stability. A possible mechanism for these interactions will be discussed.

    Notes: Dielectric relaxation studies in the frequency range 100 Hz to 2 MHz of poly(γ-benzyl-L-glutamate) in dioxane have been carried out over a range of concentration 10-4-10-2g/g. The structure of aggregates is analyzed in terms of dipole moment and relaxation time. A critical concentration (≃ 10-3 g/g for the studied molecular weights) has been determined below which the aggregates are found to have linear head to tail type structure. Above the critical concentration a different structure of aggregates is apparent which could not be fully analyzed by these measurements alone. Possible forms of aggregation above the critical concentration are discussed. Formation of long range order which would lead to nematic liquid crystalline phase at higher concentrations has been discussed as one of the possible explanations for the observed behavior above the critical concentration.Maximum length of linear head to tail type aggregates for poly(γ-benzyl-L-glutamate) in dioxane as determined from these results correspond to an α-helix of molecular weight 210,000. A slight difference in the purity of dioxane has been shown to have an influence on the reproducibility of the state of aggregation as well as on the rate of disaggregation on dilution.

    Notes: Racemization in the synthesis of peptide intermediates and their polymers was investigated, using L-amino acid oxidase. The formation of N-hydroxysuccinimide esters from N-protected peptide acids yielded optically pure products in contrast to p-nitrophenyl and pentachlorophenyl active esters. The racemization in the polymerization step was found to be base sensitive. Partially racemized polymer can result from optically homogeneous monomer. Thus, the optical integrity of active monomer species carries no guarantee for that of the polymer.

    Notes: Conformations containing all trans peptide bonds have previously been proposed for N-methylleucine gramicidin-S and (di-N-methylleucine) gramicidin-S based on an evaluation of proton nuclear magnetic resonance parameters in a series of solvents. These gramicidin-S derivatives exhibit full biological activity despite the fact that the proposed solution conformations differ in backbone topology and relative orientation of the Phe and Orn side chains compared to gramicidin-S. The present authors discuss conformations for N-methylleucine gramicidin-S and (di-N-methylleucine) gramicidin-S which incorporate cis peptide bonds at L-Orn-L-N-MeLeu, where the gramicidin-S backbone is essentially retained, and the relative orientation of the Pro, Orn, Val, and Phe side chains correspond to those observed for gramicidin-S. A novel hydrogen-bond arrangement involving one carbonyl group interacting with two peptide protons (1 ←4 and 1 ←5 types) is proposed to stabilize the backbone conformation in the gramicidin-S derivatives. A recent report on the cyclic heptapeptide antibiotic, Ilamycin B1, shows the presence of cis peptide bonds at N-CH3 amino acids, as well as the novel hydrogen-bond arrangement presented above.

    Notes: The morphology of fibrin strongly depends on solvent medium, as shown by clotting experiments carried out in the presence of different salts. The clots were characterized by electron microscopy and spectrophotometric methods; the kinetics of gelation were determined.In the presence of electrolytes which strongly delay clotting, the strands are thin and few branching points are observed; opposite morphological changes are induced by salts which act as accelerating agents. On the basis of this correlation, and of previous data on the structure of fibrin, a kinetic model of the self-assembly process is outlined. It accounts well for the observed solvent effects on the morphology of the network.An important result emerging from our experiments is that the fibers undergo branching prior to gelation. Branching points arise from the defective growth of the fibers; a simple explanation of the occurrence of branching may be obtained by our self-assembly model.

    Notes: The equilibrium between the cis and trans forms of X-Pro peptide bonds can readily be measured in the 13C nmr spectra. In the present paper we investigate how observation of this equilibrium could be used as an nmr probe for conformational studies of flexible polypeptide chains. The experiments include studies by 13C nmr of a series of linear oligopeptides containing different X-L-Pro peptide bonds, with X = Gly, L-Ala, L-Leu, L-Phe, D-Ala, D-Leu, and D-Phe. Overall the study confirms that X-Pro peptide bonds can generally be useful as 13C nmr probes reporting the formation of nonrandom conformation in flexible polypeptide chains. It was found that the cis-trans equilibrium of X-Pro is greatly affected by the side chain of X and the configuration of the α-carbon atom of X. On the basis of these observations some general rules are suggested for a practical applications of the X-Pro nmr probes in conformational studies of polypeptide chains.

    Notes: Random copolymers of L-glutamic acid and ortho-nitrobenzyl-L-glutamate were synthesized with different percentages of nitrobenzyl-L-glutamate, from 3 to 22%. These copolymers were studied by circular dichroism (CD) and potentiometric titrations in aqueous solutions in order to determine the variation of the stability of the secondary structure when the concentration of nitrobenzylglutamate varies in the copolymer. We observed that the stability increases with the concentration of glutamate. Such a stabilization could be due to either side-chain interactions or interactions between the aromatic side chain with the backbone. An intermolecular aggregation was observed when the percentage of nitrobenzylglutamate was sufficently important, but such an aggregation may be avoided if a dioxane/water mixture is used as a solvent.

    Notes: The kinetics of γ-benzyl-L-glutamate NCA's polymerizations in dioxane as solvent are discussed. The partial orders respective to [A], the NCA concentration and [I0], the initial initiator concentration are given; the rate constants are deduced and a mechanism is proposed to justify a rate of polymerization Vp = k[A][I0]2.The dependence of the rate constants on the conformation of the growing chains is demonstrated; the acceleration is attributed to the ordered structures favorable to hydrogen bonding. The kinetics of aging have also been examined and discussed; it is shown that they cannot modify the kinetics of polymerization.The DPn were obtained on the same samples before and after debenzylation; it is proved that at any concentration, DPn ≃ [A0]/[I0].The molecular-weight distributions were obtained by chromatography and a polydispersity lower than 1.3 was deduced for each sample. The trimodal distribution, appearing as soon as [A0]/[I0] is larger than 3, is attributed to the existence of the three structures σ, β, and α. The weight fraction of each of the structures was correlated to the kinetics of polymerization.

    Notes: The crystal structure of native cellulose (Valonia) has been analyzed by electron diffraction. Possible models for the structure were refined by rigid-body least squares methods, which incorporated parameters defining the preferred orientation of the fibrils around their long axes in the cell wall lamellae. The structure was found to consist of an array of chains having the same sense (i.e., parallel), with packing parameters similar to those recently determined by X-ray diffraction. The eight-chain unit cell could be approximated adequately by a two-chain monoclinic unit cell with dimensions a = 8.18 Å, b = 7.84 Å, c = 10.38 Å (fiber axis), and γ = 97.04°; the space group is P21.

    Notes: The coil-to-helix transition temperatures of hydrogen bearing and deuterated poly(γ-benzyl-L-glutamate) in 1,3-dichlorotetrafluoroacetone/H2O and/D2O mixtures, respectively, have been determined. Together with previously obtained data for the conformational transition of this polypeptide in normal and deuterated dichloroacetic acid, these results have been used in an analysis of the effect of deuterium substitution on the intrinsic stability of the α-helical form of poly(γ-benzyl-L-glutamate). The findings, consistent for both solvent systems, showed that the deuterated polypeptide is some 5% more stable than the normal protonated poly(γ-benzyl-L-glutamate), while the polypeptide-active solvent interaction enthalpy is also slightly increased by deuterium substitution in the respective molecules. A consideration of available data for poly(β-benzyl-L-aspartate) reveals an anomaly with respect to the present analysis.

    Notes: Transient electric birefringence measurements on poly(L-lysine hydrobromide) in methanol-water mixtures have been carried out at various solvent compositions in the vicinity of the helix-coil transition region (from 87 to 98 vol % methanol). Anomalous birefringence transients were observed between 90 and 95 vol % methanol above a threshold field strength. A distinct difference between the responses to weak and strong electric fields was noticed over a narrow range of the solvent composition. The effects of polymer concentration and temperature on the field-strength dependence of the birefringence were studied at a solvent composition of 90 vol % methanol where the anomalous transients appeared most clearly. The double logarithmic plots of the steady-state specific birefringence versus the square of field strength for different concentrations and temperatures could be superimposed by shifting them horizontally along the abscissa. The threshold field strength which was determined from the shift factor decreased with decreasing concentration. The results provide further evidence that strong electric fields can cause a helix-coil transition in this system under favorable conditions.

    Notes: Derivatives of tetrapeptide sequences considered likely to form β-turns were investigated by the study of their proton magnetic resonances in methanol and in water. Differential broadening of N - H resonances by an added nitroxyl was used to indicate the presence of the sequestered N - H proton expected in β-turn conformations. Transfer of magnetic saturation from solvent water protons to N - H protons was also examined. The evidence is consistent with significant contributions by β-turn-like backbones to the conformational averages in methanol of the sequences Gly-L-Pro-D-Val-Gly, D(or L)-Val-L-Pro-Gly-Gly, and Gly-L-Pro-L-Asn-Gly, but not the sequence Gly-D-Ala-L-Val-Gly. It is suggested that a Type I turn, Likely in Gly-L-Pro-L-Asn-Gly derivatives, is characterized by sequestered N - H protons of both the third and fourth residues. For all of the peptide derivatives, save possibly Ac-L-Val-L-Pro-Gly-Gly-NHNH2, contributions from folded structures in water are not detectable by line-broadening experiments. However, the transfer of saturation experiments may be interpreted as indicating some degree of chain folding in water.

    Notes: In this paper we use probabilistic arguments to derive and discuss the spatial distribution of molecules which are undergoing electrophoresis or centrifugation while at the same time they are switching back and forth between two configurational states. An exact solution is obtained for arbitrary values of the diffusion coefficients of the two isomerizing states. The traditional analytic method of solving this problem, namely, by use of “master equations,” is not completely satisfactory because one can find only the Fourier transform of the solution rather than the solution itself. Our treatment yields the answer one would get if it were feasible to perform the inversion of the Fourier transform.

    Notes: A series of sequential oligopeptides having simple nonpolar side chains, Nps-(L-Ala-L-Leu-Gly)n- OEt has been prepared by a stepwise fragment-condensation method using Nps-L-alanyl-L-leucylglycine N-hydroxysuccinimide ester, which was prepared by the Nps-N-carboxy α-amino-acid-anhydride method. The success of the synthesis of the peptide having a high-molecular weight, such as octadecapeptide, results from the highest solubility of the tripeptide unit, L-alanyl-L-leucylglycine. The sequential polypeptide having the same tripeptide sequence was also prepared by polycondensation of the tripeptide N-hydroxy-succinimide ester.

    Notes: The thermal transitions of single-stranded polynucleotides are noncooperative. In contrast, Cu(II) cooperatively disorders the single-stranded helical structures of poly(A) and poly(C), as demonstrated by ORD and UV spectral changes as a function of the Cu2+ activity, and by a dramatic chain-length dependence of the spectral changes. Equilibrium dialysis binding studies indicate that the cooperative disordering is paralleled by a somewhat less cooperative binding process.The difference between the thermal- and Cu(II)-induced transition is explained by the following mechanism. (1) Cu(II) initially binds in a noncooperative fashion to phosphate. (2) The Cu(II) so bound forms a second bond to a nonadjacent base site on the same polymer strand or another strand. These intramolecular and intermolecular crosslinks to the bases are responsible for the disordering. (3) The initial crosslinks formed provide nuclei for the cooperative formation of additional crosslinks, producing cooperative spectral changes paralleled by cooperative binding.A comparison of the spectral and binding transitions indicates that there is appreciable noncooperative binding of copper to phosphate, which produces no spectral changes in the presence of added electrolyte. This comparison also indicates that each copper crosslink disorders several bases. The formation of intermolecular crosslinks is demonstrated by a polymer concentration dependence of the disordering. The formation of intramolecular crosslinks can be deduced from the fact that the “cooperative unit” required to explain the differences between the hexamer, which does not readily form intramolecular crosslinks, and the polymer is considerably larger than the cooperative unit determined from the polymer results.The poly(A) disordering transition is less symmetrical than that of poly(C), particularly at low polymer concentrations. These results, together with other phenomena, are explained by a greater flexibility of poly(A), which favors the formation of small intramolecular loops.

    Notes: Potential energy calculations were employed to examine the effect of ribose 2′-O-methylation on the conformation of GpC. Minimum energy conformations and allowed conformational regions were calculated for 2′MeGpC and Gp2′MeC. The two lowest energy conformations of 2′MeGpC and Gp2′MeC are similar to those of GpC itself. The helical RNA conformation (sugar pucker-C(3′)-endo, ω′ and ω,g-g-, bases-anti) is the global minimum, and a helix-reversing conformation with ω′, ω in the vicinity of 20°, 80° is next in energy. However, subtle differences between the three molecules are noted. When the substitution is on the 5′ ribose (Gp2′MeC), the energy of the helical conformation is less than that of GpC, due to favorable interactions of the added methyl group. When the substitution is at the 3′ ribose (2′MeGpC) these stabilizing interactions are outweighed by steric restrictions, and the helical conformation is of higher energy than for GpC. Furthermore, the statistical weight of the 2′MeGpC g- g- helical region is substantially less than the corresponding weight for Gp2′MeC. In addition, 2′MeGpC′s methoxy group is conformationally restricted to a narrow range centered at 76°. This group has a broadly allowed region between 50 and 175° in Gp2′MeC. These differences occur because the appended methyl group in 2′MeGpC is located in the interior of the helix cylinder, as it would be in polynucleotide, while it hangs unimpeded in Gp2′MeC. These findings suggest that 2′-O-methylation has both stabilizing and destabilizing influences on the helical conformation of RNA. For 2′MeGpC the destabilizing steric hindrance imposed by the nature of the guanine base dominates.

    Notes: The molecular conformations of the linear oligopeptides H-(L-Ala)n-L-Pro-OH, with n = 1,2 and 3, have been investigated. 13C nmr observation of the equilibrium between the cis and trans forms of the Ala-Pro peptide bond indicated the occurrence of nonrandom conformations in solutions of these flexible peptides. The formation of the nonrandom species containing the cis form of the Ala-Pro bond was found to depend on the deprotonation of the carboxylic acid group of proline, the solvent, and the ionic strength in aqueous solution. The influence of intramolecular hydrogen bonding on the relative conformational energies of the species containing the cis and trans Ala-Pro peptide bond was studied by comparison of the peptides H-(Ala)n-Pro-OH with analogous molecules where hydrogen bond formation was excluded by the covalent structure. In earlier work a hydrogen bond between the protonated terminal carboxylic acid group and the carbonyl oxygen of the penultimate amino acid residue had been suggested to stabilize conformations including trans proline. For the systems described here this hypothesis can be ruled out, since the cis:trans ratio is identical for molecules with methyl ester protected and free protonated terminal carboxylic acid groups of proline. Direct evidence for hydrogen bond formation between the deprotonated terminal carboxylic acid group and the amide proton of the penultimate amino acid residue in the molecular species containing cis proline was obtained from 1H nmr studies. However, the cis:trans ratio of the Ala-Pro bond was not affected by N-methylation of the penultimate amino acid residue, which prevents formation of this hydrogen bond. Overall the experimental observations lead to the conclusion that the relative energies of the peptide conformations including cis or trans proline are mainly determined by intramolecular electrostatic interactions, whereas in the molecules considered, intramolecular hydrogen bonding is a consequence of specific peptide backbone conformations rather than a cause for the occurrence of energetically favored species. Independent support for this conclusion was obtained from model consideration which indicated that electrostatic interactions between the terminal carboxylic acid group and the carbonyl oxygen of the penultimate amino acid residue could indeed account for the observed relative conformational energies of the species containing cis and trans proline, respectively.

    Notes: A method is described for predicting and solving crystal structures of linear homopolysaccharides. The method is based on the refinement of the structure with respect to either stereochemical constraints or x-ray diffraction intensities. In the refinement process, all conformational and packing features of the molecule, such as bond lengths, bond angles, conformational angles, nonbonded contacts, hydrogen bonds, etc., can be allowed to vary until the structure reaches both a conformation and crystalline packing that are in minimum disagreement with the stereochemical restraints and the diffraction data. In this fashion, both packing and conformational features of the structure can be simultaneously refined, and not separately as has been the custom in the past. The refinement procedure is based on a method of constrained optimization which possesses improved characteristics of reaching a solution and avoiding false minima, in comparison with least squares methods. The procedure is, in addition, capable of easily finding molecules of solvent of crystallization. The method was applied to further refining the previously solved crystal structure of V-amylose. The results indicated that contrary to the previously found six-fold molecular symmetry in the P212121 space group, the V-amylose molecule exhibits only two-fold symmetry with the asymmetric unit consisting of three glucose residues in one-half turn of the helix. The three residues are nonequivalent principally due to unequal rotational positions of the hydroxymethyl groups. The crystal structure of V-amylose predicted from stereochemical refinement was identical in all details with that obtained from refining against X-ray data. The excellent agreement with the diffraction data was indicated by the crystallographic disagreement index R = 0.25.

    Notes: In order to obtain information about the conformational features of a 2′-O-methylated polyribonucleotide at the nearest neighbor level, a detailed nuclear magnetic resonance study of AmpA was undertaken. AmpA was isolated from alkali hydrolysates of yeast RNA, and proton spectra were recorded at 100 MHz in the Fourier transform mode in D2O solutions, 0.01 M, pH 5.4 and 1.5 at 25°C. 31P spectra were recorded at 40.48 MHz. Complete, accurate sets of nmr parameters derived for each nucleotidyl unit by simulation iteration methods.The nmr data were translated into conformational parameters for all the bonds using procedures developed in earlier studies from these laboratories. It is shown that AmpA exists in aqueous solution with a flexible molecular framework, which shows preferences for certain orientations. The ribose rings exist as a 2E ⇄ 3E equilibrium with the  - pA ribose showing a bias for the 3E pucker. The C(4′) - C(5′) bonds of both nucleotidyl units show significant preference (75-80%) to exist in gg conformation. The dominant conformer (80%) about C(5′) - O(5′) of the 5′-nucleotidyl unit is g′g′. Even though an unambiguous determination of the orientation of the 3′-phosphate group cannot be made, tentative evidence shows that it preferentially occupies g+ domains [O(3′) - P trans to C(3′) - C(2′)] in which the H(3′)  - C(3′) - O(3′) - P(3′) dihedral angle is about 31°. There is reasonable evidence that the 2′-O-methyl preferentially occupies the domain in which the O(2′) - CH3 bond is trans to C(2′) - C(1′).Lowering of pH to 1.5, which results in protonation of both the adenine moieties, causes destacking of AmpA. Such destacking is accompanied by small, but real, perturbations in the conformations about most of the bonds in the backbone.A detailed comparison of the solution conformations of ApA and AmpA clearly shows that 2′-O-methylation strongly influences the conformational preference about the C(3′) - O(3′) bond of the 3′-nucleotidyl unit, in addition to inducing small changes in the overall ribophosphate backbone conformational equilibria. The effect of 2′-O-methylation is such that the C(3′) - O(3′) is forced to occupy preferentially the g+ domain rather than the normally preferred g- domain [O(3′) - P trans to C(3′) - C(4′)] in ApA. The data on ApA and AmpA further reveal that the extent of stacking interaction is less in AmpA compared to ApA.It is suggested that stacked species of AmpA exist as right-handed stacks where the magnitude of ω and ω′ about O(5′) - P and P - O(3′) is about 290°. The reason for the lesser degree of stacking in AmpA compared to ApA is intramolecular interaction between 2′-O-methyl and the flexible O(3′) - P - O(5′) bridge, the interaction causing some perturbation in the magnitudes of ω/ω′, causing destacking. The destacking will lead to an increase in χCN by a few degrees, causing an increase in 2E populations; the latter in turn will shift the 3′ phosphate group from g- to g+ domains. In short, a coupled series of conformational events is envisioned at the onset of destacking, made feasible by the interaction between the 2′-O-methyl group and the swivel O(3′) - P - O(5′) bridge.

    Notes: The binding isotherms of sodium decyl sulfate to poly(L-ornithine), poly(D,L-ornithine), and poly(L-lysine) at neutral pH were determined potentiometrically. The nature of a highly cooperative binding in all three cases suggests a micelle-like clustering of the surfactant ions onto the polypeptide side groups. The hydrophobic interaction between the nonpolar groups overshadows the coulombic interaction between the charged groups. The titration curves can be interpreted well by the Zimm-Bragg theory. The average cluster size of bound surfactant ions is sufficiently large to promote the β-structure of (L-Lys)n even at a very low binding ratio of surfactant to polypeptide residue, whereas the onset of the helical structure for (L-Orn)n begins after about 7 surfactant ions are bound to two turns of the helix. The CD results are consistent with this explanation.

    Notes: The synthesis of a cross-linked polypentapeptide (an insoluble product) by means of a cross-linking reaction between a lysine-containing (1%) polypentapeptide and a glutamic acid-containing (2%) polypentapeptide is described, following description of the synthesis and polymerization of the corresponding pentapeptide p-nitrophenyl esters. The pentapeptide p-nitrophenylesters - H-Val1-Pro2-Gly3-Val4-Gly5-ONp, H-Val1-Pro2-Gly3-Lys4(ε-Z)-Gly5-ONp, and H-Val1-Pro2-Gly3-Glu4-Gly5-ONp - prior to polymerizing and the polypentapeptides prior to cross-linking were analyzed by proton and carbon-13 magnetic resonance. The cross-linking reaction was achieved in the coacervate state by intermolecular primary amide bond formation. The coupling reagent was a water-soluble carbodiimide (1-cyclohexyl-3-(2-N-methylmorpholinoethyl)-carbodiimide-p-toluenesulfonate).

    Notes: It is concluded on the basis of comparison of polyelectrolyte theory with published data that the mean phosphate spacing b along the contour axis of an unfolded polynucleotide single strand is in the range 3-4 Å (polyelectrolyte parameter ξ ≈ 2), regardless of temperature, base composition, or extent of stacking. This result is consistent with the low-angle X-ray scattering measurements of Gulik, Inoue, and Luzzati on poly(C). No conclusion may be drawn from this value of b concerning the structure of the chain skeleton or the spatial arrangement of the bases other than that the chain is far from an all-trans local conformation (for which b would be about 6-7 Å, the length of a nucleotide unit). The structural implications, or lack thereof, are discussed in detail in the following paper.
