    Notes: The kinetics of the polymerization of 1,3-butadiene initiated by bis(η3-allyl nickel trifluoroacetate) prepared in benzene was studied in methylene chloride at 40°C. The reaction is first order with respect to the monomer, second order with respect to the catalyst in contrast to the case in which solvent is benzene. We have shown that the presence of a polar molecule (fe, N-methyl phthalimide) decreases the overall rate of polymerization. The apparent reactivity ratios for the system 2-phthalimidomethyl 1,3-butadiene (1)-1,3-butadiene (2) are r1 = 0.65 ± 0.006 and r2 = 0.48 ± 0.015.

    Notes: A study was made of the microstructural changes that occur in ultraviolet irradiation under vacuum of thin films of 1,2-poly(cis-1,4-hexadiene) (CHD), 1,2-poly(trans-1,4-hexadiene) (THD), 1,2-poly(trans-1,3-pentadiene) (TPD), equibinary (1,2,-1,4) polybutadiene (EB), and equibinary (3,4-1,4) polyisoprene (EI). These polymers - all containing pendant double bonds - undergo important photoinduced loss of unsaturation, presumably through cyclization of the double bonds, by analogy to the previously reported photocyclization of 1,2-polybutadiene (VB) and 3,4-polyisoprene (VI)films. For the equibinary polymers, which contain internal as well as external (or pendant) double bonds, the loss of unsaturation is considered to involve photocyclization of 1,2-1,4 and 1,2-1,2 dyads in EB and of 3,4-1,4 and 3,4-3,4 dyads in EI. Accompanying thecyclization process in CHD, THD, and TPD is a direct photochemical cis-trans isomerization of —CH=CH—double bonds analogous to that originally noted for 1,4-polybutadiene. The photorearrangements in the above polymers with pendant double bonds were compared to the corresponding thermally induced rearrangements reported previoulsy;for VB and VI, in particular, the thermal, photo-and radiation-induced cycli-zations were found to be very similar, possibly having a common nonradical, nonionic mechanism involving excited double bonds.

    Notes: The homopolymerization of trans-1,4-hexadiene, cis-1,4-hexadiene, and 5-methyl-1,4-hexadiene was investigated with a variety of catalysts. During polymerization, 1,4-hexadienes undergo concurrent isomerization reactions. The nature and extent of isomerization products are influenced by the monomer structure and polymerization conditions. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and infrared (IR) data show that poly(trans-1,4-hexadiene) and poly(cis-1,4-hexadiene) prepared with a Et3Al/α-TiCl3/hexamethylphosphoric triamide catalyst system consist mainly of 1,2-polymerization units arranged in a regular head-to-tail sequence. A 300-MHz proton NMR spectrum shows that the trans-hexadiene polymer is isotactic; it also may be the case for the cis-hexadiene polymer. These polymers are the first examples of uncrosslinked ozone-resistant rubbers containing pendant unsaturation on alternating carbon atoms of the saturated carbon-carbon backbone. Polymerization of the 1,4-hexadienes was also studied with VOCl3- and β-TiCl3-based catalysts. Microstructures of the resulting polymers are quite complicated due to significant loss of unsaturation, in contrast to those obtained with the α-TiCl3-based catalyst. In agreement with the literature, there was no discernible monomer isomerization with the VOCl3 catalyst system.

    Notes: Various wholly aromatic polyamides based on m-and p-phenylene diamines and isophthaloyl and terephthaloyl chloride have been synthesized and their thermal properties and oxygen index values have been studied. The effect of different substituents on the aromatic ring of the diamine have been explored by comparing their differential thermal analysis (DTA) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) behavior, their relative char yields at 700°C, and their oxygen indices. The —Cl, —NO2, and —OH substituted polyamides have been found to produce the highest char yields. The high char yields are probably associated with crosslinking occurring at high temperatures. Attempts at correlating char yield with oxygen index indicated enhancement for the chlorosubstituted aramids.

    Notes: The magnetic circular dichroism (MCD) spectra of syndiotactic and isotactic polymers which contain aromatic chromophores have been found to be sensitive to configurational and conformational differences. For isotactic polymers it was determined that as the aromatic ring moved farther from the main chain the ration of B terms of the polymers to those of their model compounds reached a minimum but increased significantly when the aromatic ring was separated from the main chain by four atoms. This enhancement of MCD is believed to be caused by the alignment of the more flexible side chains which would allow the interaction of the aromatic rings with neighboring groups and could result in a favorable mixing of the ester electronic transition with the aromatic 1A1g-1B2u transition. This effect was not felt to any great extent by the syndiotactic polymers because the necessary nearest-neighbor interaction was sterically unfavorable. The ratio of the B terms of isotactic poly(phenyl methacrylate) to its model compound decreased as the polymer coil expanded, whereas it increased for the syndiotactic polymer. This effect reflects the different changes that the side chain interaction and orientations undergo in these polymers during coil expansion. The MCD ratios for iso- and syndiotactic poly(phenylethyl methacrylate) were not so sensitive during coil expansion. The ratio of the dipole strengths of the polymers and model compounds paralleled the MCD results, but the ultraviolet (UV) technique was less sensitive than MCD to subtle conformational differences. Poly(benzyl methacrylate) and benzyl pivalate were unsuitable systems for studying the MCD effect because the B terms of these materials approached zero.

    Notes: Copper(II), nickel(II), cobalt(II), and zinc(II) accelerated the carboxylate-catalyzed hydrolyses of 2,4-dinitrophenyl isonicotinate (DNPI) and 2,4-dinitrophenyl picolinate (DNPP). The rate enhancement effect of the metal ions in the partially neutralized poly(methacrylic acid)- or poly(acrylic acid)-catalyzed hydrolysis of DNPI was greater than that in the monomeric acetate ion-catalyzed hydrolysis of this ester. This feature of the reactions was explained by the formation of a ternary complex composed of the polymer, the metal ion, and the substrate, in which the metal ion serves as a template for the nucleophilic reaction between the carboxylate groups along the polymer chain and the coordinated substrate. In DNPP the metal ion effect on the polycarboxylate-catalyzed hydrolysis was smaller than that on the acetate ion-catalyzed hydrolysis. This was interpreted as the result of differences in the structure of the complex.

    Notes: Alternating copolymers containing 4,4-isopropylidene-bisphenol (BPA) and comonomers with various degrees of polarity have been evaluated to find comonomer structures which provide low melt viscosity and good thermal stability. The materials were prepared by pyridine-catalyzed nucleophilic displacement reactions similar to that for the preparation of BPA polycarbonate. The molecular weights of the polycarbonates depend on the concentration and nucleophilicity of the attacking diol and the concentration and stability of a colored pyridine-chloroformate adduct formed during polymerization. The greatest thermal stability occurs for BPA-DMS and BPA-DEG. Thermomechanical flow measurements and Tg measurements were used to evaluate melt viscosity. The shapes and magnitudes of the Tg vs. Tf curves are sensitive to the copolymer chemical structure.

    Notes: The structure of the cellulose solvent ferric sodium tartrate (FeTNa) was studied using a sensitive adiabatic calorimeter. FeTNa was found to be a typical transition metal complex in which three tartrate ligands add in a stepwise fashion to iron. The structure of FeTNa first proposed by Franke is thus confirmed. The equilibrium constant for the addition of the third tartrate ligand to iron is approximately 100, a value typical of those for other cellulose-dissolving metal complexes. There is no calorimetric evidence for addition of more than three tartrate molecules to iron. The increase in molar heats of reaction with increasing ionic strength is consistent with dilute electrolyte solution theory. Based on these data, the probable reaction between FeTNa and cellulose has been postulated.

    Notes: The easily observed autoacceleration of free radical Polymerization is defined as the explosive region and an arbitrary but quantitative definition of it is made. Using this definition it is shown that the explosive regions of solution polymerizations of methyl methacrylate occur at constant values of the product of polymer concentration times (molecular weight)1/2. This upholds the concept that polymer entanglements control the termination reaction in this region. It is also shown that this region does not, as previously suggested, occur at a constant value of free volume, but that free volume does play a role in determining the rate of termination at a given level of chain entanglements.

    Notes: Dispersion polymerization of styrene in the particle size range of 10 μ with lauroyl peroxide as initiator results in a double-peak molecular weight (MW) distribution. The high-MW fraction was due to emulsion polymerization. The same phenomenon also exists in AIBN and benzoyl peroxide initiation, although it is less obvious. The kinetics of the reaction for dispersion polymerization was dependent on the concentration of the dispersing agent and the nature of the initiator.

    Notes: The plasma polymers formed in glow and nonglow regions of an inductively coupled RF plasma with perfluorobenzene and perfluorocyclohexane are discussed as a function of operating conditions of the plasma by means of ESCA. The core levels of the plasma polymers are shown to be strikingly different but characteristic of a well-defined but complex polymerization scheme. For the nonglow regions fluorine incorporation is shown to be greater than for polymers prepared in the glow regions and a preponderance of CF2 features is apparent. Perfluorobenzene deposits polymer faster than perfluorocyclohexane and changes in component composition of the C1s profile are studied as a function of operating conditions of the gas plasma.

    Notes: In this investigation an approach to correlate the composite rate constants of some redox polymerization reactions [acrylonitrile-Ce(IV)-organic substrate] with a new type of multiparameter equation is described. The multiparameter equation is based on Swain and Lupton's F and R, the field and resonance components of the substituents, respectively, and the unique positional weighting factors f and r suggested by Williams and Norrington. The statistical parameters of the correlation involving the substituent constants (fF and rR) and the rate data have been found to be quite satisfactory, the average coefficient of determination being 0.91. The significance levels of the correlation also indicate that the present model is applicable to the kinetics of redox polymerization. The sign and magnitude of the reaction-dependent regression constants α and β suggest that three different types of reaction mechanisms are operative for the substrates benzaldehyde, phenylthiourea, acetophenone, and toluene.

    Notes: Four solvents of cellulose have been studied by using 13C-NMR spectroscopy. All these solvents, N-methyl morpholine-N-oxide, methylamine, hydrazine, and paraformaldehyde (PF), contained dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) as a cosolvent. Oligomers of cellulose of DP = 10 soluble in hot DMSO have been used as model compounds. 13C chemical shifts and line shapes show that three of the mentioned solvents are “true solvents” of cellulose. On the other hand, dissolution of cellulose in DMSO-PF system occurs by the formation of a statistical derivative of cellulose. Enriched 13C bacterial cellulose on C-1 and C-6 positions have been used to identify the 13C positions mainly in DMSO-N-methyl morpholine-N-oxide system. This solvent has been found to be degradative for the macromolecule when the solution is kept at 100°C over a long period. Viscosity measurements show a reduction of the molecular weight in these conditions. Polarimetry indicates that no glucose is present in solution and hence there is a statistical break of the chain. Enriched cellulose solution in DMSO-N-methyl morpholine-N-oxide has been also used for relaxation time (T1) determination both of the solvent and of the enriched carbons of the polymer. Nuclear Overhauser enhancement (NOE) was found to be 1.8 for C-1 and 2.1 for C-6 showing that relaxation phenomenon is not purely dipolar. T1 values of 97 and 65 msec are found for C-1 and C-6 of cellulose, in good agreement with the values known for polysaccharides. Determination of T1 for the different carbon atoms of the solvent DMSO-N-methyl morpholine-N-oxide with and without cellulose shows a large reduction of T1 for N-methyl morpholine-N-oxide molecule. This denotes a slower molecular motion of this molecule and a preferential interaction with the cellulose macromolecule.

    Notes: Vinyl acetate and acrylonitrile were copolymerized with Co(acac)3-Al(C2H5)3 catalyst system in benzene at 40°C. The rate of copolymerization is linearly proportional to monomer concentration and catalyst concentrations up to a certain value. The overall activation energy was found to be 11.3 kcal/mole. The effect of hydroquinone on the rate of copolymerization indicates the presence of free radicals in this system. The possibility of simultaneous formation of coordinate anionic and free radical active sites has been proposed.

    Notes: The synthesis of poly(ester carbonate) copolymers based on bisphenol A, terephthalic acid, and phosgene is reviewed, and a new synthetic route is described leading to polymers which are different from those obtained by methods described in the literature. The most important features of the new method are quantitative incorporation of the dicarboxylic acid into the polymer and absence of undersirable side reactions. Synthesis of the random copolymer in which the dicarboxylic acid and carbonic acid groups are present in about equal molar amounts is discussed. Solution properties, effects of M̄n and copolymer composition on Tg, sequence length distribution, the effect of ester interchange reactions on molecular weight distribution, and effects of monofunctional chain termination on molecular weight of the final product are also discussed.

    Notes: New thermally stable polyimidines have been synthesized from bis(3,3-diphenyl-6-phthalidyl) ketone and five diamines: o-phenylenediamine, m-phenylenediamine, 1,5-diaminonapthalene, 1,8-diaminonapthalene, and benzidine. Polymers of low molecular weight (inherent viscosity up to 0.24 dl/g) were obtained by solution and sealed-tube polymerizations. The structural differences of the amines provided information concerning the effects on the thermal stability properties of the resulting polyimidines. The yellow to black polymers exhibited a 10% loss ranging from 420-510°C in air and 460-555°C in nitrogen and were soluble in chloroform and dimethylformamide.

    Notes: Vinyl fluoride was polymerized by photochemical initiation in a continuous-flow cylindrical reactor at room temperature and at pressures of up to 30 atm. Copolymers with vinyl acetate were prepared in order to improve the solubility and processability of poly(vinyl fluoride) (PVF). The copolymers were hydrolyzed to the corresponding vinyl alcohol copolymers and yielded hydrophilic films that are strong and flexible only when swollen by water. It was found that on hydrolysis the Tg, Tm, and heat of fusion as well as degree of crystallinity increased. It was suggested that PVF and the copolymers with vinyl alcohol are isomorphous.

    Notes: Photochemical reactions of N-vinylcarbazole (VCZ) in the binary solvent of benzonitrile (φCN) and nitrobenzene (φNO2) were investigated. Both solvent and oxygen effects on the final products were examined. Benzonitrile and nitrobenzene behaved differently in the photochemical reaction of VCZ. At higher concentrations of benzonitrile in the aerated system, cyclodimerization was favored and it was inhibited by a cation scavenger and retarded by a radical scavenger. Polymerization occurred in the deaerated system and was inhibited by a radical scavenger and not by a cation scavenger. Using picosecond laser photolysis it was concluded that cyclodimerization occurs through the diffusion-controlled encounter collision of the excited singlet state of VCZ with an oxygen molecule, producing the VCZ cation radical and oxygen anion radical, and that this oxygen anion radical plays a very important role in the cyclodimerization of VCZ. It was also suggested that radical polymerization in the deaerated system is initiated by the excited triplet state of VCZ. On the other hand, at higher concentrations of nitrobenzene, only cationic polymerization took place irrespective of the presence of oxygen, and it was suggested that a contact charge-transfer complex is produced by the mixing of VCZ with φNO2 producing VCZ cation radical and NO2 anion radical by an excited-state electron transfer.

    Notes: The Cu(II) complexes of copolymers having pendant sulfide and imidazolyl groups were prepared by a free radical copolymerization of ethylvinylsulfide with vinylimidazole, and their properties and function were studied spectrophotometrically in comparison with those of poly[4(5)-vinylimidazole]. The complexes were found to be effective as catalysts for the oxidation of hydroquinone. Visible and ESR spectra of the Cu(II)-copolymer complexes were similar to those of the Cu(II)-homopolymer complexes, while the catalytic activity for the oxidation was different between these complex systems. A rapid reaction followed by a slow reaction, particularly at high ethylvinylsulfide content in the copolymers, was observed in the Cu(II)-copolymer complex systems, but a continuous reaction proportional to the reaction time was observed in the Cu(II)-homopolymer complex systems. The reoxidation rate of Cu(I) to Cu(II) complex, which was little affected by the concentration of imidazolyl group, decreased with a rise of the ethylvinylsulfide content in the copolymer. It was suggested that the sulfur atom of the sulfide group was weakly coordinated to Cu(II) but strongly to Cu(I), and an electron transfer reaction from substrate to the Cu(II) complex was increased, while reoxidation reaction of the Cu(I) complex was decreased in the copolymer complex systems.

    Notes: The thermal degradation of poly(3-pentylidene carboxylate) has been studied kinetically over the temperature range 200-300°C using thermogravimetry, gas evolution analysis, and rheogoniometry together with isolation and analysis of the reaction products. The observed behavior is completely different from that previously reported for poly(isopropylidene carboxylate) and poly(methylene carboxylate). Whereas in the latter cases the decomposition occurs by a first-order intramolecular ester interchange process characterized by an activation energy in the region of 27 kcal mole-1, poly(3-pentylidene carboxylate) decomposition occurs by random chain scission superimposed on a first-order hydrogen abstraction process. The activation energy associated with this decomposition reaction is in the region of 47 kcal mole-1, and the major degradation products are cis- and trans-2-ethyl crotonic acid.

    Notes: Solution and solid-state thermal cis-trans isomerization of cis-transoidal polyphenylacetylene was investigated. At temperatures higher than 120°C, cis-trans thermal isomerization in solution is accompanied by cyclization, aromatization, and scission of the polymer chain. Both spectral and kinetics data showed that at temperatures lower than 120°C, not only cis-trans thermal isomerization takes place but also intramolecular cyclization.

    Notes: Direct fluorination of the hexafluoroacetone-ethylene copolymer, [CH2CH2OC(CF3)2]n, under conditions designed to promote fragmentation of the polymer chain has led to the synthesis of a number of structurally unusual branched perfluoropolyethers [—CF2—CF2—O-C(CF3)2—]n. These new perfluoropolyethers have been characterized by 19F-NMR, and their physical properties are reported. Direct fluorination under milder conditions yields a high-molecular-weight perfluoropolyether.

    Notes: Bulk polymerization of isobutyl vinyl ether was studied at 25°C in a wide dose rate range, 8.2-277 rad/sec by γ rays and 8.8 × 103-2.2 × 105 rad/sec by electron beams. At low dose rate, 8.2-277 rad/sec, only the radical polymerization took place. At high dose rate exceeding 8.8 × 103 rad/sec, cationic polymerization was found to occur in addition to the radical polymerization. DPn of the product at high dose rate was 9-10. Further drying of the monomer increased Rp, and molecular weight of the product formed by cationic mechanism also increased.

    Notes: The radiation degradation behavior of methyl α-chloroacrylate (MCA) and methacrylonitrile (MCN) copolymers has been investigated as part of a program to develop high-sensitivity polymeric resists for integrated circuit manufacture. High-molecular-weight copolymers were prepared by emulsion techniques. Several different copolymer compositions were prepared varying from 19 to 68 mole % MCA. These copolymers were fractionated and then subjected to γ irradiation from a 60Co Source. The Gs - Gs, Gs - 4Gs values were determined from M̄;F〉nk-1 and Gu-1 versus dose plots, and the Gfs and Gs Values were then calculated. Molecular weights of both unirradiated and irradiated polymers were analyzed by membrane osmometry and gel permeation chromatography. All copolymers exhibited higher degradation susceptibilities than that of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PPMA), which has Gx = 1.3. The individual Gx and Gx values of the copolymers were found to fall between those of the two homopolymers, poly(methyl α-chloroacrylate) (Gx = 6.0) and polymethacrylonitrile (Gx ∼ 3.1). The dependence of Gx and Gx values on molecular weight was minor. The crosslinking susceptibility of the poly(methyl α-chloroacrylate) (Gx ∼ 0.8), was greatly decreased by copolymerization with MCN. Relatively small amounts of MCN caused a large drop in Gx, i.e., Gx ∼ 0.15 at 32% MCN and Gx ∼ 0.03 at 51% MCN. The observation could be attributed to the decreasing probability that crosslinking sites, in the MCA monomer units on adjacent chains, would lie in close proximity.

    Notes: Bulk polymerization of α-methylstyrene was carried out in a wide dose rate range, 7.6-256 rad/sec by γ rays and 8.5 × 103-2.1 × 105 rad/sec by electron beams. At high dose rate by electron beams, cationic polymerization took place along with formation of oligomeric product of DPn = ∼4. At low dose rate by γ rays, radical polymerization was found to occur in water-saturated monomer. The cationic polymerization at high dose rate proceeds with essentially the same mechanism as was already known in γ-ray polymerization of dry monomers. Relatively low reaction rate of the cationic polymerization compared with that of styrene is explained with the fact that the propagation of α-methylstyrene is much more easily inhibited by a slight amount of water.

    Notes: New polymeric cinchona alkaloids having favorable structures and properties for asymmetric catalysts have been prepared by radical copolymerization of the alkaloids with acrylonitrile using azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN) as an initiator. Of the many reaction solvents tried, dimethylformamide (DMF) was found to be the solvent of choice especially for a large-scale synthesis. Alkaloid monomers employed were free dalkaloids, such as quinine, quinidine, cinchonidine, and cinchonine, and modified ones including 9-O-ethoxycarbonylquinine and quinine salts. The copolymers were thermally stable powders, soluble in DMF and DMSO, and insoluble in common organic solvents. They were found to be converted into water-soluble polymeric alkaloids by hydrolysis with alkaline hydrogen peroxide.

    Notes: The stereoregularity of polydienes is almost the same in regard to the individual elements of the lanthanide series, whereas the activity of the Ln catalysts in diene polymerization varies from one to the other within the series. The latter may be attributed to the difference in the number of electrons that occupy the 4f orbitals. It has been proved that the polymerization of dienes with Ln catalysts under certain conditions proceeds by a “living polymer” mechanism. With regard to the polymerization of butadiene, the most active catalyst is a Nd3+species a new binary system of NdCl3-3ROH + AlR3 has been discovered. The cis- 1,4 content in polybutadiene is about 97% and the 1,2 content, less than 1%. For the polymerization of isoprene with a Nd3+ catalyst system, the effects of ligand and alkyl groups in AIR3 on cis-1,4 content (ca. 95%) in polyisoprene can be neglected. For the copolymerization of butadiene and isoprene, the cis-1,4 contents of these two monomeric units in the copolymer are greater than 95% the reactivity ratios r1 and r2 are determined. and the Tg's of the copolymers of various compositions deviate slightly from the calculated values for random copolymers. A linear relationship exists between the yield strength from the stress-strain curve of Ln-polvbutadiene and its [n] This relationship is verified by Ln-polyisoprene and natural rubber but different slopes are obtained

    Notes: A multifunctional crosslinked polymer resulted from a chloromethylated polystyrene reaction with tris(2-hydroxyethyl)amine. A benzyl chloride reaction (chosen as a structural unit model) with tris(2-hydroxyethyl)amine was investigated to explain the reasons for the crosslinking. Amino-ethers and tris(2-hydroxyethyl)amine hydrochloride in addition to ammonium quaternary salt were isolated from this reaction. The formation of amino-ethers proved that an ammonium quaternary salt rearrangement also takes place during the quaternization reaction. This rearrangement leads to chloromethylated polystyrene during its reaction with tris(2-hydroxyethyl)amine.

    Notes: The reaction of chloromethylated polystyrene with tris(2-hydroxyethyl)amine in N,N-dimethylformamide is described for the conditions to prepare soluble reaction products. The groups of the quaternary ammonium salt, which appear in the first stage of the reaction, transpose to the amino-ether groups. The reaction was followed by elementary analysis, IR and 1H-NMR spectra, and viscosimetric measurements for nondialyzed and dialyzed samples. The presence of the tertiary amine groups on obtained polymers was also shown by titration. The polymers from the reaction of chloromethylated polystyrene with tris(2-hydroxyethyl)amine reacted easily with benzyl chloride.

    Notes: In order to elucidate the effect of the hydroxyl group on the polymerization of diallyl hydroxydicarboxylates, we investigated in detail the radical polymerizations of diallyl succinate (DASu), diallyl malate (DAMa), and diallyl tartrate (DATa), each of which have similar structure differing only in the number of hydroxyl groups present. The rate of polymerization (Rp) was quite enhanced in the order DASu 〈 DAMa 〈 DATa, in accord with the increase in the number of hydroxyl groups within a monomer unit. The enhanced ability of the allylic monomer radical to reinitiate chain growth was also in the same order, as was clear from the dependence of Rp on the initiator concentration. The dependence of the residual unsaturation of the polymer on the monomer concentration in the polymerizations of DAMa and DATa was abnormal in terms of cyclopolymerization. These results are discussed in connection with the formation of the intermolecular hydrogen bond through the hydroxyl groups.

    Notes: New Processable Polyaromatic amides were prepared from 2,2′-diiododiphenyl-4,4′-dicarbonyl dichloride (I) and several aromatic diamines. Phenylethynyl groups were introduced in these polymides by replacing the iodine groups with copper phenyl acetylide. On thermal curing, 2,2′-di(phenylethynyl)biphenyl group undergoes intramolecular cyclization to form 9-phenyl dibenzanthracene derivative. The cured polymers showed increased heat and chemical stabilities. No melting points were observed for all the polymers below 500°C. The viscosity of the polymers was decreased on substitution of the iodine by phenylethynyl groups.

    Notes: In order to clarify the mechanism to produce the large dispersion of the exothermic peak temperature (Tpk) of polyacrylonitrile, a systematic and quantitative study was made by means of the differential thermal analysis and the viscosity measurment. General tendency between Tpk and the polymerization methods was reconfirmed. Under a controlled condition (i.e., aqueous solution system), presence of N,N-dimethyl formamide or isopropyl alcohol produced a lower Tpk of resulting polymer, while presence of activator produced a higher Tpk. Thus, the large dispersion of Tpk (250-300°C) can be explained inclusively in terms of a single reaction factor, i.e., chain transfer mechanism. Particularly in the above third case it was shown that owing to strong and rapid chain transfer to activator, some kind of secondary reaction (caused by propagating chain end radical), probably chain branching which deteriorates the higher thermal quantity of molecule, is restrained effectively. Furthermore, some specific behaviors (i.e., cooperativeness and dynamic character, etc.) were observed in this reaction of PAN in solid amorphous phase.

    Notes: Results are presented which extend earlier findings on the transformation of insoluble crosslinked polysiloxanes into soluble linear polymers by selective aminolysis at crosslink sites. The present study provides evidence of a substantial steric effect and catalysis by 2-pyridone. The results with 2-pyridone are attributed to tautomeric catalysis which, to our knowledge, had not been observed before in substitution reactions at silicon. Evidence is also presented that unhindered, difunctional primary amines effect aminolysis with both amine groups to produce insoluble crosslinked polymer, presumably with silylamine functionality at crosslink sites.

The EG-TP-EG and BD-TP-BD blocks are distinguishable from the unsymmetrical diester sequence EG-TP-BD. The carbonyl and aromatic quaternary carbons of terephthalate have different chemical shifts but identical relaxation times and nuclear Overhauser enhancements in the three different triad sequences. Peak areas indicate random copolymerization of the three copolyesters studied.

    Notes: The reaction of a polyether-based polyurethane foam with dry atmospheric pressure steam was examined as one approach to waste polyurethane foam recovery. Complete reaction at temperatures between 190 and 230°C yielded high-quality polyol, isomeric toluenediamines, and carbon dioxide as primary products. Kinetic analysis of toluenediamine yields versus time suggested the occurrence of a parallel first-order reaction scheme wherein urethane linkages react up to 50 times faster than urea linkages. The results derived from kinetic experiments and ancillary thermochemical and spectroscopic studies indicated that urethane linkages are broken by direct hydrolysis, whereas urea linkages undergo thermal dissociation to parent isocyanate and amine. Subsequent rapid hydrolysis of the isocyanate produced was necessary to obtain high yields of toluenediamine products. The rate of the slower reaction, dissociation of urea linkages, can be enhanced by a factor of 20 by the addition of trace amounts of sodium hydroxide to the foam.

    Notes: In order to analyze the polymerization rate at high initiation rate and/or low monomer concentration, the rate equations are derived by a rate formulated previously for polymer-polymer termination and another rate for primary radical termination, which is formulated here (both rates depend on chain length of polymer radical). Such equations would be applicable to the kinetic data in the polymerizations of styrene and methyl methacrylate. This shows that the assumption that both rates are independent of chain length overestimates the rate of primary radical termination.

    Notes: The kinetics of copolymerization of styrene with p-benzoquinone in the presence of BF3OEt2 is investigated. The rate constants and activation energy of the copolymerization process are determined. The reaction orders for monomer and catalyst are estimated. It is found that the rate of styrene and quinone copolymerization increase and the induction period decreases owing to addition of the latter. It is shown that the copolymerization rate achieves its maximum at an equimolal ratio of monomers. This phenomenon is explained by formation of active molecular complex between styrene and p-benzoquinone. On the basis of obtained data the course of copolymerization is interpreted and the cationic mechanism of copolymerization process is proposed.

    Notes: cis-1,4-Polybutadiene and polypentenamer having pendant functional groups such as formyl, aldoxime, hydroxymethyl, or cinnamoyloxymethyl groups have been prepared, and some of their properties were investigated in terms of structural effect on physical properties of these polymers. cis-1, 4-Polybutadiene and polypentenamer having a different content of formyl group were prepared by the hydroformylation reaction with rhodium catalyst under mild conditions. The pendant formyl group was reduced to a hydroxymethyl group by using various reducing agents such as sodium borohydride or sodium trimethoxyborohydride which were effective to avoid a crosslinking reaction among the formyl groups. Glass transition temperature of polypentenamer having hydroxymethyl groups increased with increasing the content of the hydroxymethyl groups in the polymer. Cinnamoyl group was introduced into the polypentenamer having hydroxymethyl groups by reacting with cinnamoyl chloride so as to prepare a photosensitive rubber. The relationships between the photosensitivity of the cinnamoylated polypentenamer and the mobility of polymer main chains have been elucidated. A linear relationship between the photodimerization rate constant and the difference between ultraviolet (UV) irradiation temperature and the glass transition temperature of the polymer was found. It has become apparent that the photosensitivity of cinnamoylated polypentenamer can be estimated by the glass transition temperature of the original polymer, UV irradiation temperature, activation energy of the dimerization, and γ, which is a coefficient of the relationship between the photosensitive group concentration and the glass transition temperature of the polymer.

    Notes: The most effective mechanism of protective action of organic phosphites-linear termination of kinetic chains on the inhibitor - has been established and the relative contribution of the other phosphite reactions (with hydroperoxides, their chain “self-oxidation”) to the summary mechanism has been determined. The quantitative kinetic characteristics of efficiency and length of inhibitive action of different structure phosphites in the wide range of the phase state of the oxidized substrate (solid polymer, its melt, liquid phase) have been given. On this basis the regularities which allow the prediction of the structures of phosphites scavenging peroxy substrate radicals more effectively (effective inhibitors) have been formulated.

    Notes: The polycondensation reaction of aromatic dicarboxylic acids and diamines by using triphenyl phosphite were carried out in N-methylpyrrolidone (NMP) in the presence of poly(4-vinylpyridine) (P4VP). The reaction, especially of terephthalic acid (TPA), was markedly facilitated to give the absence of P4VP. The reaction promoted by P4VP was further favored by the addition of various pyridine derivatives; of the pyridines examined, pyridine was most effective, giving the best results at a high level (pyridine/P4VP values up to 26). P4VP of the molecular weight in the range of 1.3 × 104-3.0 × 105 did not affect the viscosity of the resulting polymer. These favorable additive effects of P4VP on the reaction of TPA were not observed in the reactions of isophthalic acid, and m -and p-aminobenzoic acids.

    Notes: The radical polymerization of several vinyl monomers has been studied in the presence of cupric chloride. A termination reaction with CuII species leads to the formation of CuI species which can also participate significantly in termination with some, but not all, of the monomers studied. A theoretical treatment of the kinetics of such systems is presented which takes full account of initiator depletion during extended inhibition during extended inhibition periods. Specific velocity constants for reactions of polymer radicals with both CuII and CuI moieties are derived from observations on the nonstationary phase at the end of the inhibition period and from the subsequent steady state of polymerization. On the basis of the results presented here, together with the work of other authors, the patterns-of-reactivity approach gives α = -5.4, β = 9.0 as the parameters for copper (II) chloride. The implications of the results in relation to the mechanisms of the reactions between polymer radicals and both copper(II) chloride and copper(I) chloride are discussed. The kinetic treatment also provides an improved method for the determination of the rate of initiator decomposition and the rate of initiation form studies of the inhibition period.

    Notes: The radical copolymerization of diallyl tartrate (DATa) (M1) with diallyl succinate (DASu), diallyl phthalate (DAP), allyl benzoate (ABz), vinyl acetate (VAc), or styrene (St) was investigated in order to disclose in more detail the characteristic hydroxyl group's effect observed in the homopolymerization of DATa. In the copolymerization with DASu or DAP as a typical diallyldicarboxylate, the dependence of the rate of copolymerization on monomer composition was different for different copolymerization systems and unusual values larger than unity for the product of monomer reactivity ratios, r1r2, were obtained. In the copolymerization with ABz or VAc (M2), the r1 and r2 values were estimated to be 1.50 and 0.64 for the DATa/ABz system and 0.76 and 2.34 for the DATa/VAc system, respectively; the product r1r2 for the latter copolymerization system was found again to be larger than unity. In the copolymerization with St, the largest effect due to DATa monomer of high polarity was observed. Solvent effects were tentatively examined to improve the copolymerizability of DATa. These results are discussed in terms of hydrogen-bonding ability of DATa.

    Notes: Diethynylphenyl ether (DEPE) was synthesized and its thermal polymerization studied by NMR, IR, and DSC techniques. DEPE is a crystalline solid that melts at 72-73°C and undergoes polymerization beginning at about 150°C. The heat of polymerization measured by DSC was 53 ± 2 kcal/mole. Thermomechanical analysis (TMA) of the fully cured resin showed softening behavior at temperatures in excess of 400°C. Weight loss up to 720°C was only 21%. A mechanism of polymerization based on the analysis of IR and NMR data for party polymerized material below 300°C is proposed.

    Notes: A series of N-methyl-substituted aromatic polyamides derived from the secondary aromatic diamines 4,4′-bis(methylamino)diphenylmethane, 3,3′-bis(methylamino)diphenylmethane, 4,4′-bis(methylamino)benzophenone or 3,3′-bis(methylamino)benzophenone and isophthaloyl dichloride, and terephthaloyl dichloride or 3,3′-diphenylmethane dicarboxylic acid dichloride was prepared by high-temperature solution polymerization in s-tetrachloroethane. Compared with analogous unsubstituted and partly N-methylated aromatic polyamides, the full N-methylated polyamides exhibited significantly lower glass transition temperatures (Tg), reduced crystallinity, improved thermal stability, and good solubility in chlorinated solvents.

    Notes: Proton relaxation measurements have been used to investigate the effects of crosslinking on the segmental motion in cis-1,4-polybutadiene samples. The temperature dependence of proton spin-lattice relaxation time T1 and spin-spin relaxation time T2 at 60 and 24.3 MHz are reported in cis-1,4-polybutadiene (PB) samples with different crosslink density including uncrosslinked PB and samples with 140, 40, and 14 repeat units between crosslinks. In addition, spin-lattice relaxation times in rotating coordinate frame, T1p, have also been determined. The relaxation data are interpreted in terms of the effects of crosslinks on segmental chain motions. Because of their sensitivity to low-frequency motion, T2 data are of major interest. At temperatures well above the T1 minimum the small T2 temperature dependence resembles solidlike behavior reflecting the nonzero averaging of dipolar interactions due to anisotropic motion of the chain segments between crosslinks. The magnitude of T2 at 60°C is found to be proportional to the average mass between crosslinks.

    Notes: A wide compositional range of copolymers of 1-cyclobutene carbonitrile (CBCN) and 1-bicyclobutance carbonitrile (BBCN) with common vinyl monomers was prepared in order to study systematically the effect of cyclobutane carbonitrile ring incorporation on the glass transition temperature (Tg). In general, the Tg's of the copolymers are increased in proportion to the weight percent of the small-ring monomer incorporated, but the 1,2-mode of incorporation raises Tg more than the 1,3-mode. Attempts were made to correlate data with quantitative Tg-composition relationships (Fox-Johnston equations). Prediction for nitrile homopolymer Tg's are compared with literature values.

    Notes: The molecular weight distribution of fractionated and unfractionated polystyrene samples has been determined by temperature drop turbidimetry, in which polymer is precipitated from dilute solutions in cyclohexanol by progressively cooling from 388 to 310 K. Estimates of the molecular weight averages and the polydispersities, obtained by calibration of the temperature of initial onset of precipitation, Ti, and the weight-average molecular weight were low, but could be substantially improved by correcting for concentration changes during precipitation. An empirical procedure correlating the breadth of turbidity-temperature curves to the logarithm of the polydispersity, as measured by gel permeation chromatography, appeared to be a simpler method of characterizing the polymer samples and as accurate as the computational methods above.

    Notes: Polyterephthalamides of high molecular weight (ηinh up to 1.9) were obtained by the direct polycondensation reaction of terephthalic acid and aromatic diamines in the presence of poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) with triphenyl phosphite in a N-methylpyrrolidone (NMP)-pyridine solution that contained lithium chloride. The molecular weights of the polymers produced varied with the amount and molecular weight of PEO, which showed maximum values when PEO with a molecular weight of 2.0 × 104-5.0 × 105 was used in a concentration of about 0.5 wt % in the solvent. The polycondensation reaction was significantly affected by the level of pyridine in a mixed solvent of NMP and pyridine and by the concentration of the lithium chloride added.

    Notes: The γ radiolysis of polyethylene preirradiated with electron beams to 3 Mrad was carried out at 30-100°C in vacuo with a dose rate of 6.35 × 105 rad/hr. The hydrogen formation in the γ radiolysis was little affected by the preirradiation of electron beams, whereas the formation of trans-vinylene unsaturation and gel was somewhat retarded. The rates of the formation of hydrogen and trans-vinylene unsaturation were described by the zero-order formation kinetics with respect to each concentration combined with the first-order disappearance. The apparent rate constants and activation energies for the formation and disappearance of hydrogen and trans-vinylene unsaturation were almost independent of the preirradiation. The gel fraction was analyzed by using the Charlesby-Pinner equation. The G values of crosslinking and main chain scission were increased by the preirradiation, whereas their activation energies remained unaltered. On the basis of these results the effects of preirradiation on the reactions induced by γ rays in polyethylene were discussed.

Their molecular weights (M̄n) were in the 1600-15, 700 region after the fractionation in hot ethnol. Melting points were in the 214-281°C region. They dissolved fairly well in conventional solvents like benzene, tetrahydrofuran, and carbon tetrachloride. According to TGA they started to decompose at 397-432°C and showed 10% weight loss at 478-502°C in air at a heating rate of 5°C/min. Focusing on the thermostability, we report on their physical properties.

    Notes: Radiation-induced terpolymerizations of methyl α,β,β-trifluoroacrylate (MTFA) with tetrafluoroethylene (TFE) and α-olefins, such as ethylene, propylene, and isobutylene, were carried out in bulk at 25°C for the purpose of controlling the content of ester group in the MTFA-α-olefin alternating copolymers. These monomers polymerized to form alternating terpolymers which contained 50 mole % α-olefin in a wide range of monomer composition. The content of MTFA, namely, the ester group in polymer, can be varied without destruction of the alternating structures between fluoroolefins (MTFA, TFE) and α-olefin by changing the MTFA/TFE ratio in the monomer mixture. The relative reactivities of MTFA and TFE in the terpolymerization were discussed according to kinetic treatments by free propagating and complex mechanisms. The relation between the MTFA/TFE ratio in the monomer mixture and that in terpolymer was explained favourbly by the complex mechanism. It was also concluded that the relative reactivity of MTFA is larger than that of TFE in the terpolymerizations.

    Notes: Sequential gas-liquid chromotographic analysis of the reaction mixture throughout a copolymerization reaction in conjuction with the improved curve-fitting I (integrated form) method, which accounts for measurements errors in both variables, allows accurate estimation of the monomer reactivity ratios. In this article an alternative method is presented for estimating r values in copolymerization with linear regression only, which is especially suited to cases in which one or two of the r values is close to 1. In these cases the improved curve-fitting I method tends to converge slowly because of the numerical instability of the integrated copolymerization equation. The use of the new method is illustrated for the estimation of the r values for ethylene and vinyl acatate in benzene at 35 kg/cm2 and 62°C. The linear regression method was also tried on other copolymerizations and the results are compared with those obtained from the improved curve-fitting I method. The limits of the applicability of the linear regression method were determined by simulated sequential sampling experiments. It appears that the new method is applicable when the product of the r values is between 0.001 and 2, provided both monomer conversions are large enough compared with the measurements error.

    Notes: A novel planar ↔ nonplanar visual thermochromic conformational transition of polydiacetylene molecules in poor solvents is reported. The conformational transition is associated with both a color change (blue or red ↔ yellow) and a change in the state; the yellow solution (liquid) transforms to a blue or red gel (solid). The color transition occurs within a narrow range of temperature and has a large associated hysteresis. The enthalpy of the conformational transition is 29 kJ/mole of repeat unit. Fourier-transform infrared studies show that molecules acquire a planar conformation in red or blue gels by formation of intramolecular H bonds between the adjacent substituent groups. Virtually all H bonds break (a nonplanar conformation) when the gels turn into yellow solutions.

    Notes: The Copolymerization reaction of hexafluoroisobutylene (HFIB) and vinylidene fluoride (VF2) was studied using X-band electron spin resonance (ESR) by applying a photo-in situ method. Owing to the toxicity of HFIB monomer, the flow ESR method could not be directly applied without extensive modification. The observed ESR signal with 21-line hyperfine structure was assigned to the copolymer radical with head-to-head configuration. Although the HFIB monomer radical possesses the same hyperfine pattern, the ambiguity has been removed by using CF3 as an initiator radical. Owing to the high steady-state concentration of the observed copolymer radical with head-to-head configuration as well as the nature of the static photo-in situ ESR method, we believe the actual molecular configuration for HFIB/VF2 copolymer must be head-to-tail. The observed hyperfine constant for AβF = 1.74 mT suggests that the geometry for HFIB/VF2 copolymer radicals with both head-to-head or head-to-tail configurations is possibly similar to that of (CF3)3C· radical. The small value for AβH indicates steric hindrance to rotation about the Cα—Cβ bond, and this is also supported by the experimental results of nonalteration in linewidth during the temperature dependence study from -40 to about 90°C. Attempts to measure directly the monomer reactivities have been unsuccessful owing to the fact that not all the possible radicals were detected, but nevertheless the relative reactivities of VF2 and HFIB could be estimated. The relative reactivities of VF2 and HFIB monomers and the steric hindrance effect indicate that the conformation of the copolymer is head-to-tail; this has been further confirmed by infrared analysis.

    Notes: Using combined results of isothermal viscosity measurements and cross-polarized light microscopy on four polyisocyanate/solvent systems, the following were demonstrated: (a) an anisotropic phase appears, associated with a shoulder in the viscosity curve, at a concentration v2* lower than the peak viscosity at v2p; (b) the inversion from anisotropic inclusions in an isotropic matrix to isotropic inclusions in an anisotropic matrix, occurs at concentrations v20 〉 v2p and (c) the attainment of a single phase, microscopically anisotropic, occurs at v20 〉 v2p; where the viscosity is decreasing but has not yet reached its minimum. When the experiments were repeated with changes in temperature, the following were observed: (a) within each single phase the viscosity drops with increased temperature; (b) in the biphasic range, the total viscosity η0 remains about constant in the concentration range 20 ≤ 2p and increases with temperature in the range v20 〉 v2p; (c) in the interval v 20 〉 v2p of the biphasic range, at constant temperature an increase in concentration decreases η0, and at constant concentration, a decrease in temperature lowers η0. Qualitative explanations of the observations are proposed.

    Notes: The small-angle x-ray scattering (SAXS) pattern from a cesium salt of a 6.1 mole % ethylenemethacrylic acid (E-MAA) copolymer is shown to become azimuthally dependent on sample elongation. SAXS was measured using the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) spectrometer with pinhole collimation and a two-dimensional position-sensitive detector. The sample was quenched prior to deformation to avoid crystallization of the ethylene unit which would complicate the interpretation of scattering. The observed SAXS patterns are interpreted in terms of several proposed models for the structure of ionomers. A model in which ionic aggregates are arranged on a paracrystalline lattice is found to be largely in disagreement with the results for undeformed and deformed samples. Spherical and lamellar models incorporating local structure around a central ionic core are capable of predicting the observed SAXS for the undeformed sample. A model of ellipsoidal deformation of the spherical shell-core model fails to predict the correct azimuthal dependence of scattering. However, a deformation scheme involving rotation of the lamellar model is more satisfactory.

    Notes: The theoretical relations between 13C NMR line intensities and monad, dyad, and triad populations are given. In some cases only approximations are possible. The relations between monads and dyads also between dyads and triads are given. Some necessary relations between line intensities are given which provide a basis for making corrections for differing Overhauser enhancements. Included in the discussion are three lines which have not previously been discussed.

    Notes: The stepwise growth and emergence of spherulitic structures as isolated entities from lyotropic solutions of polybenzylglutamate liquid crystals is described. Spherulites that form ringed internal structures indicative of a cholesteric organization of macromolecules have large optical rotatory powers. The sense of the rotation is solvent dependent. The morphology of the spherulite is distorted in the presence of a magnetic field. The pitch of the cumulative twist of “onion-shell” molecular layers was measured as a function of field strength and found to follow the theoretical form shown previously to hold for continuous-phase polypeptide liquid crystals.

    Notes: Results from a number of theories for the concentration dependence of the mutual diffusion coefficient in dilute polymer solutions are examined, and clarifications are made as to what forms of the equations for these theories should be used in comparisons with experimental diffusivity data. An evaluation of the available theories for the concentration dependence of the diffusivity under theta conditions is carried out using experimental diffusivity data taken using sharp fractions of polystyrene. It is concluded that the Pyun - Fixman theory appears to provide the most promising method for estimating the concentration dependence of the mutual diffusion coefficient in dilute polymer solutions at the present time.

    Notes: The effects of elevated pressure on the morphology and crystallization kinetics of cis-polyisoprenes containing 2-2.5% trans units have been determined. Lamellar growth rates of both α and β crystals are enhanced by elevated pressure. The degree of enhancement of α-crystal rates is much greater resulting in an effective suppression of β growth. Differences in lamellar growth rates between these polymers and cis-polyisoprene result from different preexponent values. Hedritic or axialitic growth, presumably due to low-molecular-weight fractions, is observed in shish-kebabs present in strained films. The high-pressure hexagonal phase cannot be grown in these polymers.

    Notes: Using the concept of a point dipole lattice, it is shown that the internal field of induced dipoles can be calculated for crystals comprised of simple chain molecules. The only structure which must be taken into account accurately is that of the chain molecule itself. From the calculations, reliable values of the polarizability tensor of the CH2 unit are deduced from the birefringence of the paraffin crystal. In addition, it is shown that birefringence measurements provide a method for demonstrating the consistency of polarizability data so that no detailed structural information is needed. For the CH2 unit, it is found by both methods that α∥ - α⊥ = - 0.63 with respect to the chain direction [the units of polarizability α are 10-24 cm3 (cgs)]. The most probable anisotropies for the bond polarizabilities are α∥CH - α⊥CH = 0.30, α∥CC - α⊥CC = - 0.62.

    Notes: Differences in fiber structure between cotton and cuprammonium rayon are studied by a refined broad-line proton NMR analysis of samples swollen with deuterated dimethyl sulfoxide, which has no effect on the spectra but enhances differences in molecular mobility between crystalline and noncrystalline regions. The spectra obtained are decomposed into four components: broad, medium, narrow, and extremely narrow. These components are identified as contributions, respectively, from crystalline and rigid noncrystalline (frozen glassy) material, a noncrystalline glassy component exhibiting local segmental motion, a noncrystalline rubbery component exhibiting liquidlike molecular motion, and protons included in DMSO-d6 as an impurity. The mass fraction of the narrow component in cotton was about 0.01, whereas it was as high as 0.18 in cuprammonium rayon. It is concluded that even in the swollen state, native cellulose is devoid of a liquidlike mobile component, but regenerated cellulose contains a considerable amount of a noncrystalline component involving liquidlike segmental motion of molecules.

    Notes: Molecular aggregation of poly(4,4′-diphenyl ether-5,5′-bibenzimidazole)(PBI) in solution has been studied by high resolution proton NMR. PBI and model compounds have been synthesized, purified, and characterized. Proton resonances in the NMR spectrum of PBI are assigned by comparison with the proton resonances of the model compounds. Spectra are studied by total line-shape analysis, assuming each absorption curve to be Lorentzian. For PBI in N,N-dimethylacetamide (DMAc), the resonance due to the proton of a hydroxyl group formed by proton exchange between the imino group of PBI and the carbonyl group of DMAc is observed. The activation energy for the proton exchange, obtained from Arrhenius plots of the temperature dependence of the chemical shifts of the hydroxyl proton and the imino proton, was found to increase in the order corresponding to dissociation energy of the N—H···O=C hydrogen bond. The chemical shifts in the NMR spectra of PBI-DMAc solutions on the addition of LiCl are strongly dependent on the polymer-salt ratio; and thereby the coordination position of LiCl to PBI is tentatively identified, assuming a pseudocontact LiCl-induced shift. The dependence of the chemical shifts of protons in PBI on the dielectric constant of the solvent is demonstrated by using polar solvents of varying dielectric constant, such as N-methylpyrrolidone, dimethylsulfoxide, and formic acid. The viscosity of the PBI-DMAc solutions is reported at various temperatures and concentrations of LiCl. The results from viscometry are explicable in terms of the NMR observations.

    Notes: Torsional creep and creep recovery measurements have been made on a 56% polymer weight solution of an extremely high molecular weight polystyrene (M = 4.4 × 107) in tri-m-tolyl phosphate and on the polymer itself after recovery both from relatively dilute and more concentrated solution in benzene by freeze drying. Although viscoelastic steady state was not achievable, an anomalously shorter rubbery plateau in the response of the bulk polymer relative to its solution was indicated. On the basis of the assumed presence of physical entanglements of the threadlike molecules, which determine the length and height of the rubbery plateau, it was predicted and confirmed that the undiluted polystyrene recovered from dilute solution would have the highest and shortest creep compliance plateau.

    Notes: Fourier-transform (FT) infrared spectroscopy has been applied to the study the hydrothermal degradation of various coupling agents on E-glass fibers. The coupling agents studied include γ-methacryloxypropyltrimethoxysilane, vinyltrimethoxysilane, and cyclohexyltrimethoxysilane. The amount of coupling agents on E-fibers was measured as a function of immersion time in water at 80°C. Structural changes were also followed by obtaining FT-IR difference spectra of the coupling agent on the glass fiber surface. Silanes desorb quite differently depending on the organofunctional groups. The resistance to desorption is strongly influenced by the organization of the silane interphase as well as the solubility of the silane in water.

    Notes: Analytical expressions are derived which relate the degree of orientation caused by a biaxial nonorthogonal pseudoaffine deformation to the conditions and parameters of drawing. They contain relations previously given by Kuhn et al. and Sasaguri et al. as special cases and can be evaluated in a way which allows a proper analysis of experimental data. The plastic and elastic components of the deformation can be estimated on the basis of these equations. The equations are useful for analysis of biaxial drawing, including technical drawing of polymer films and of the phenomenon of “bowing.”

    Notes: The solution behavior of metal sulfonate-containing ionomers has been investigated in various mixed solvent systems. Ionomers, such as lightly sulfonated polystyrene (sodium salt) and sulfonated ethylene-propylene-diene terpolymer (metal salts) are generally insoluble in typical hydrocarbon solvents, but readily dissolve when small amounts of alcohols or other polar cosolvents are present. At relatively low polymer concentration these ionomers display unusually high thickening behavior in nonpolar solvents when compared with nonionic polymers because of association of the metal sulfonate groups. The addition of modest levels of polar cosolvent markedly decreases the solution viscosity and gives rise to viscosity-temperature relationships different from those of conventional polymer solutions. For example, such solutions can display vicosities which increase, are relatively constant, or display maxima or minima over broad temperature ranges. These observations are interpreted as arising from a temperature-dependent preferential interaction of the cosolvent with the sulfonate groups. While these ionomers can be regarded as polyelectrolytes of low charge density, they do not display the typical “polyelectrolyte” behavior often observed in aqueous solutions. This anomalous behavior is attributed to the fact that the metal sulfonate groups are largely un-ionized in solvents of low dielectric constant. Therefore, the solution behavior is dominated by ion pair interactions rather than free ions.

    Notes: Three crystal modifications of poly(3,3-dimethyloxacyclobutane) [—CH2C(CH3)2CH2O—]n were found and their structures were analyzed by x-ray diffraction. Modification I is obtained only under tension and disappears on relaxing the tension. From the fiber period of 4.83 Å, the molecular structure seems to be planar zigzag. In modification II, two chains in T3GT3Ḡ conformation pass through a monoclinic cell with parameters a = 8.93 Å, b = 7.48 Å, c (fiber axis) = 8.35 Å, β = 97.9°, and the space group P21/c-C52h. In modification III, two (T2G2)2 chains pass through an orthorhombic cell with parameters a = 15.60 Å, b = 5.74 Å, c (fiber axis) = 6.51 Å, and the space group, C2221-D52. Molecular conformations of the three crystal modifications correspond to those of polyoxacyclobutane.

    Notes: Wide-angle and small-angle x-ray diffraction patterns of 11 poly(N-(10-n-alkyloxycarbonyl-n-decyl)maleimides) (PEMI) (including only even members of the series) have been obtained on unoriented samples. They show major maxima at two diffraction angles. The one at the larger angles is due to the interaction of neighboring n-alkyl side-chains. The smaller one (which shows second and third orders of diffraction in higher members of the series, n = 14 to n = 22, where n is the number of methylene groups in the external n-alkyl sequence in the side chain) is related to the distance between lamellar planes formed by the main chains. In all cases, the measured layer separation di is higher than the structural unit length L of the side-chain in the most extended conformation, and lower than the length corresponding to two side-chains. On the basis of the experimental results reported here, a model is proposed for the packing of these comblike polymers in the solid state. The mode of packing is also supported by infrared spectra in the 720 cm-1 region for the —CH2— rocking mode of vibration of the n-alkyl side-chain.

    Notes: A high resolution carbon-13 NMR study of an ethylene-butene copolymer has yielded a spectrum whose resonances could be assigned to isolated ethyl branches, 1,3-diethyl branching as well as 1,2-diethyl branches resulting from head-to-head butene polymerization. All these structures are present in the same sample. An examination of all the published spectra of low-density (branched) polyethylenes has revealed many examples of heretofore unassigned resonances which can be associated with this latter type of diethyl branching in these polymers. Spin-lattice relaxation times have been determined, when feasible, for the carbon atoms in each of the three branched structures.

    Notes: The craze velocity was determined for poly(chlorotrifluoroethylene) (PCTFE) in CH4 and for PCTFE, polystyrene, and poly(methyl methacrylate) in N2. It was found that for temperatures near the boiling point the velocity and number of crazes depended on the relative pressure given by P exp[-(Qv/R) (TB-1 - T-1)], where P is the pressure, Qv is the heat of vaporization, and TB is the boiling point. The craze velocity was related to the coverage of the adsorbed gas. For coverages corresponding to a few monolayers the logarithm of the velocity was proportional to the relative pressure. As the temperature increases from TB, the creep rate decreases because gas desorbs with increasing temperature; the creep rate attains a minimum value at a temperature where the general process of thermally activated deformation becomes dominant.

    Notes: Model networks were prepared by selective crosslinking through vinyl groups occurring as either chain ends or as side-groups on a poly(dimethylsiloxane) backbone. Iodometric titrations were used to determine the number of unreacted groups, thereby providing detailed information on the completeness of the reactions and the structure of the resulting networks. The end-linking reaction of the vinyl-terminated chains was generally found to be at least 95% complete. In the case of very high junction functionality, however, the extent of reaction was significantly lower, presumably because of steric interferences in the vicinity of the junctions, as was concluded in a previous investigation. Lower extents of reaction were also found in the case of vinyl groups located along the chains, probably because such groups are constrained by two chain sequences instead of one. The equilibrium elastomeric properties of both types of networks were interpreted using the structural information thus obtained and were found to be in good agreement with previous experimental results. They are also in satisfactory agreement with theory, without introduction of the highly questionable assumption of large contributions from interchain entanglements.

    Notes: Surface and interfacial activities of A(B)2 star-shaped block copolymers, where B is a polyoxirane block and A a polydiene or polyvinyl block, have been measured at 20°C. The surface tension of organic solvents is only slightly lowered by these copolymers, whereas a significant surface activity is noted in water. Interfacial tensions are dependent on both the nature of the organic solvent (aliphatic or aromatic hydrocarbons) and the molecular parameters of the copolymers; 50% polyoxirane seems to be the composition of maximum surface activity. The role played by the molecular architecture [A-B or A(B)2] of the copolymers is demonstrated. The same limiting interfacial tension is obtained on increasing the concentration of diblock [A-B] or star-shaped block [A(B)2] copolymer. The limiting value is, however, attained at significantly lower concentration with the star-shaped copolymers. Their ability to fill the interface is accordingly higher.

    Notes: An experimental method using monochromatized synchrotron radiation for a wide-angle x-ray scattering study of polymers during phase transition and deformation is described. Results obtained on low-density and high-density polyethylenes and on polypropylene are given. Melting processes could be studied conveniently by making exposures during a temperature scan; a few seconds were found sufficient to obtain a diffraction spectrum. This way relatively fast crystallization processes and the structural change accompanying stress relaxation could be followed easily. The crystalline-amorphous ratio was found to decrease continuously much below the melting temperature measured dilatometrically and by DSC, implying that in the αc-relaxation transition region of polyethylene and polypropylene a structural change takes place. At the initial state of crystallization the 040 reflection in polypropylene was found to be stronger than the 110 one, while after crystallization has been completed this ratio was inverted. Equatorial spectra made after rapid uniaxial stretching of polypropylene sheet were found to exhibit a slight time dependence demonstrating that orientation went on after stretching had been stopped.

    Notes: Changes in density and in the corresponding degree of crystallinity with radiation dose are studied experimentally for γ-irradiated polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) in the dose range from 1 X 103 to 1 X 109 R. The relation between the amorphous fraction and the radiation dose is derived from a quantitative analysis of cold crystallization by scission of polymer backbone chains. The characteristic radiation dose, at which one break occurs on the average per initial molecule, is estimated as about 3 X 104 R on the basis of a derived kinetic equation. The theoretical relation is modified by considering microvoids produced in the irradiated samples. The radii of microvoids in the form of spheres are evaluated as about 0.2 nm, and are also related to cage spheres relevant to the chain scission process. Good agreement between the modified theoretical relation and experimental data is attained over the entire range of radiation dose.

    Notes: Light scattering and viscometric studies have been carried out on dilute solutions of a polybenzimidazole in N,N-dimethylacetamide. The data, which span the molecular weight range 2.9 ≦ 10-4Mw ≦ 23.3, and the temperature range 290 ≦ T/K ≦343, yield the dependence of the mean-square radius of gyration 〈s2〉LS, the second virial coefficient A2, and the intrinsic viscosity [η] on molecular weight Mw and temperature. The unperturbed mean-square radius 〈s20〉LS was calculated using experimental values of 〈s2〉LS and A2. It was found that excluded volume effects on 〈s2〉LS are very small. The unperturbed hydrodynamic chain dimension 〈s20〉η was estimated by considering draining effects. A small value of the draining parameter was obtained. Analysis of the temperature dependence of A2 and [eta;] leads to the conclusion that this system approaches a lower theta temperature with increasing temperature. The steric factor σ = 〈s20〉/〈s20〉f, based on the value of 〈s20〉f calculated for the polymer chain with free rotation, is nearly unity. Most of these properties can be interpreted in terms of long rotational units within the main chain.

    Notes: Fluorescence polarization was used to measure segmental orientation in stretched polyisoprene networks. Stress and orientation of chemically bonded fluorescent labels were simultaneously recorded during stretching. Two deviations from the classical theory of rubber elasticity were observed: (i) an extra orientation of dry networks, which was interpreted by assuming the existence of weak nematiclike interactions between segments, and (ii) a saturation of orientation at high elongation which could be due to local conformational changes.

    Notes: The measurement of the sedimentation velocity coefficient of narrow distribution linear, four-arm and six-arm star and comb polystyrenes in a theta solvent permits the experimental determination of h, i.e., the ratio of the translational friction coefficients of the branched polymer to that of its linear homolog. A comparison of experimental h/g1/2 values with theoretical predictions can then be made. It was observed that the equivalent hydrodynamic radii derived from sedimentation and intrinsic viscosity measurements are identical within experimental error.

    Notes: X-ray diffraction, thermally stimulated depolarization, and piezoelectric and pyroelectric current measurements have been carried out on biaxially oriented polyvinylidene fluoride film, corona-poled both negatively and positively, at elevated temperature. Larger piezoelectric and pyroelectric coefficients are obtained at lower values of the poling field, when corona charging takes place at elevated temperature rather than room temperature. Negative charging is more effective than positive. The polarization mechanism is dipole alignment, and a conversion of Form-II crystallites to Form I. The large space-charge injected by the corona, and trapped in the material, acts through creation of high internal fields, and shows little, if any, piezoelectric and pyroelectric effects of its own.
