    Notes: A morphological study was made to examine the friction and wear mechanisms of ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene in air and water by means of transmission electron microscopy of a carbon replica film of a very thin layer of the polymer surface slid against a steel ball. Electron diffractions revealed that a molecular orientation with a typical fiber pattern was formed in the friction in air, while thin ribbon-like crystals with particular crystal orientations were formed in water in a way that the sliding took place on the crystallographic a - c plane, giving rise to a low friction coefficient of the polymer.

    Description / Table of Contents: Es wurde der relative Wirkungsgrad von fünf handelsüblichen Stabilisatoren bei Photooxidation und thermischer Alterung von Polypropylen (PP) anhand der Änderungen der mechanischen Eigenschaften untersucht. Es wurden Polypropylenproben mit unterschiedlichem Anteil an Cyasorb UV-531 hergestellt (bezeichnet als PC0.5-31, PC1-31, PC1.5-31 und PC2-31). Der Einfluß der Photooxidation auf das thermische Verhalten ist mit Hilfe der Differentialscanningkalorimetrie und durch thermogravimetrische Analysen untersucht worden. 2-Hydroxy-4-n-octyloxybenzophenon (2 Gew.-%) war am wirksamsten, Polypropylen, gegen Verfärbung und Brüchigkeit zu stabilisieren. Bei einer Probe mit 1% Stabilisatorzusatz fanden sich nach 32 h Bestrahlung noch 81% des ursprünglichen Wertes der Streckgrenze gegenüber 18% bei unstabilisiertem PP.
    Notes: The relative effectiveness of five commercially available stabilizers on the photooxidation and thermal ageing of polypropylene (PP) was investigated by following changes in mechanical properties. Samples of PP containing different percentages of Cyasorb UV-531 were prepared (designated as PC0.5-31, PC1-31, PC1.5-31, and PC2-31, respectively). The effect of photooxidation on thermal behaviour was investigated by differential scanning calorimetry and thermogravimetric analysis. 2-Hydroxy-4-n-octyloxy benzophenone (2% w/w) was most effective in stabilizing PP towards discolouration and brittleness. After 32 h irradiation, 81% retention in yield strength was observed in case of PC1-31 against 18% in case of PP.

    Notes: The effects of the nature of the polyols used in polyurethane (PUR) synthesis on the structural transformations after ageing by UV irradiation has been studied. The investigations were performed on PUR prepared from polyester and polyether diol oligomers.The characterization of the samples before and after ageing in view of the structural changes, which influence the course of the photooxidative degradation and photocrosslinking as well as in view of changes of mechanical properties has been done. Comparative investigations were performed by spectroscopic and viscometric measurements.The results show pronounced heterogeneity of the degradative reactions, including the existence of crosslinking processes and producing thus very inhomogeneous polymeric material. The course and the intensity of photooxidative degradation of PUR differ together with changes of mechanical properties depending whether polyester or polyether polyol have been used. The processes of photooxidative degradation is less expressed in polyesterurethane then in polyurethane based on polyether, under the same conditions of experiments. Different structures of polyester diols caused the various ageing behaviour of PUR too.

    Notes: QUALIFICATION OF HALS COMPOUNDSA complex method of examination has been developed suitable for the qualification of light stabilizers; by this method, according to experience, the efficacy of HALS compounds can be extensively and expediently characterized.Several light stabilizers of the HALS-type were examined and qualified, used alone or together with a UV-absorber.It has been found that, when selecting the appropriate structure for a given polymer, the weatherability of polyolefine foils is effectively increase to six-eightfold; the increase is even tenfold when the stabilizer is combined with a benzophenone-type compound.As a utilization of these experiences, a contract with the industry, led to the production of an LDPE based agricultural foil with a life-time of several years.

    Notes: Natural hail impact tests are scarcely available because hailstorms are limited to a small area and cannot be predicted regarding time, place and intensity. Therefore we relied on laboratory tests simulating natural hailstones by polyamide balls (5-50 mm dia.) whose final velocity could be varied according to meteorological data. So the influence of diameter (weight) and velocity of the artificial hailstones could be taken into consideration independently.The energy of damage or equivalent natural hailstone diameter were determined for 16 mm double skin sheet from PMMA as 0.2 J (14 mm dia.) for star shaped cracks and 2 J (26 mm dia.) for holes. These values do not significantly decrease after 10 years weathering. 10 mm double skin sheets from PC show an extremly high energy of damage of abt. 10 J (38 mm dia.) which decreases to a medium level of 2 J (26 mm dia.) after several years weathering. This decrease is remarkably reduced by weather resistant protective coating.As hailstorms consist to more than 80% of hailstones below 10 mm dia. (0.04 J) the mentioned sheet materials are quite hail resistant also after long weathering periods, but they cannot withstand an extreme hail catastrophe as in Munich July 12, 1984.

    Description / Table of Contents: An Folien (Dicke 100 pm) aus isotaktischem Polypropylen mit verschiedenen Antioxidansgehalten (0,0% bis 0,1%) wird die thermooxidative Alterunq mit der isothermen Langzeit-Differential-Thermo-Analyse (ILDTA) bis zu Temperaturen weit unter dem Kristallitschmelzbereich verfolqt und die Messwerte mit Ergebnissen aus dem Zeitstand-Zugversuch korreliert. Dabei zeigt sich, daß aus Messunqen mit der ILDTA bereits vor Einsetzen der autokatalytischen Zersetzunq sreaktion Ruckschlüsse auf die thermische Vorqeschichte der Proben und Aussagen auf das rnit einem Abfall der mechanischen Eigenschaften verbundene Ende der thermo-oxidativen Stabilität des Polymeren getroffen werden können.Weiters bietet die ILDTA die Moglichkeit, durch den direkten Zusamenhang zwischen Oxidationszeit und Antioxidansögehalt die örtliche Stabilisatorverteilung in Platten und in Folien zu bestimmen und damit Diffusionsvorqange zu verfolgen.
    Notes: Thermo-oxidative ageing processes were investigated in films (100 μm thick) made from isotactic polypropylene with different antioxidant concentrations between 0% and 0.1% using isothermal long-term differential thermal analysis (ILDTA). The end of the oven life of polypropylene coincided with the loss of mechanical properties which was confirmed by tensile tests at temperatures far below the crystallite melting range. Already prior to the beginning of autocatalytic decomposition, ILDTA experiments permits conclusions to be drawn on the thermal history of the specimens and statements made regarding the end of thermo-oxidative stability of the polymer, which is accompanied by a deterioration in the mechanical properties.In consequence of the correlation between oxidation time and antioxidant concentration the local antioxidant concentration in sheets or films can be measured by ILDTA. Thus, investigating the diffusion of an antioxidant in polypropylene using ILDTA is possible.

    Description / Table of Contents: Die Größenverteilungsfunktion von Dispersionen mit extrem breiter Verteilung (Durchmesserbereich 20 〈 D 〈 2000 nm) kann in der analytischen Ultrazentrifuge (AUC) nicht durch eine Standardmethode, z. B. durch Messung der Trübung τ bei einer einzigen Konzentration, bestimmt werden, weil sich die spezifische Trübung τ/c von sehr kleinen und sehr großen Teilchen zu stark unterscheidet. Um dieses Problem zu lösen, haben wir eine neue AUC-Technik, die sogenannte Coupling-PSD-Technik entwickelt. Dabei werden zwei unterschiedliche Konzentrationen derselben Dispersion gleichzeitig in einem einzigen AUC-Lauf vermessen und zwei korrespondierende Lichtintensitiit-Zeit-Kurven aufgezeichnet. Bei einer niedrigen Standardkonzentration cs werden hauptsachlich die größeren Teilchen erfaßt während bei einer 5 bis 30 mal heheren Konzentration ch vor allem die kleineren Teilchen registriert werden. Die beiden I(t)-Kurven werden mathematisch verkniipft und unter Verwendung des Stokeschen Gesetzes und der Streutheorie von Mie für homogene isotrope Kugeln in die gesuchte breite Verteilungsfunktion umgerechnet. Wir benutzen eine mit einem 8-Zellen-Rotor und einem Multiplexer ausgestattete AUC. Da sehr groBe und sehr kleine Teilchen gleichzeitig in einem einzigen Zentrifugenlauf bestimmt werden, kennen wir nicht mehr wie zuvor eine konstante Rotorgeschwindigkeit N anwenden, sondern miissen diese mit Hilfe eines Geschwindigkeitsprogramms N(t) innerhalb einer Stunde von 0 auf 40000 U/min erhehen.
    Notes: The particle size distribution (PSD) of extremely broad distributed dispersions (diameter range 20 〈 D 〈 2000 nm) is not possible to be measured by analytical ultracentrifuge (AUC) using the standard technique, i.e. measuring turbidity τ at a single concentration c, because the specific turbidity τ/c varies too much between very small and very large particles. To solve this problem we have developed a new AUC technique, the so-called Coupling-PSD-Technique. Here two different concentrations of the same dispersion are measured simultaneously by one single AUC run with two corresponding curves of light intensity I vs. time t being registered. At a low standard concentration cs, mainly the larger particles are detected, while at a concentration ch 5 to 30 times higher mainly the smaller particles are registered. Both I(t)-curves are coupled mathematically and transformed into the requested broad distribution curve employing Stokes' law and Mie's light scattering theory for homogeneous isotropic spheres.We use an AUC together with an 8-cells-rotor and a multiplexer. Because very large and very small particles are to be measured simultaneously in one single run, we can no more apply a constant rotor speed N as before, but by means of a time program N(t) we always have to increase the rotor speed from 0 to 40000 rpm within one hour.

    Description / Table of Contents: Die chemische Modifizierung von Polyvinylchlorid (PVC) durch ein Amin verleiht dem Polymeren höhere Reaktivität gegenüber der Pfropfcopolymerisation mit einem Vinylmonomeren. Die Pfropfcopolymerisation von Methylmethacrylat auf mit n-Butylamin modifiziertes PVC wurde thermisch mit Benzoylperoxid (Bz2O2) als Initiator oder photoaktiviert mit Benzophenon (BP) als Photosensibilisator gestartet. Das aus bestimmten Experimenten erhaltene rohe Polymerprodukt wurde durch fraktionierte Fällung in die verschiedenen Bestandteile wie Polymethylmethacrylat (PMMA, Homopolymeres), PVC-g-PMMA (Pfropfcopolymeres) und unverändertes (aminiertes) PVC aufgespalten. Die getrennten Fraktionen wurden mit Hilfe der IR-Spektroskopie und der Thermogravimetrie charakterisiert. Der Mechanismus der Pfropfcopolymerisation von den beiden verschiedenen Systemen wurde erörtert. In beiden Fällen wurden Pfropfausbeuten um 30 - 70%* und Pfropfcopolymerzusammensetzungen, PMMA/PVC (w/w) zwischen 2 und 3 erhalten.
    Notes: Chemical modification of poly(vinyl chloride), PVC, by an amine renders the polymer more reactive towards graft copolymerization with a vinyl monomer. The graft copolymerization of methyl methacrylate (MMA) on PVC modified by treatment with n-butylamine (n-BA) was started thermally at 30° using benzoyl peroxide (Bz2O2) as initiator and under photoactivation at 40° using benzophenone (BP) as photo sensitizer. The gross polymer products from selected experiments were fractionally separated into the constituent polymeric entities viz., poly(methyl methacrylate), PMMA (homopolymer), PVC-g-PMMA (graft copolymer), and unreacted (aminated) PVC following a method of fractional precipitation. The separated fractions were characterized by IR spectroscopy and thermogravimetry. The mechanisms of graft copolymerization for the two different systems have been discussed. In each case, grafting efficiencies of the order of 30-70% and graft copolymers having compositions given as PMMA/PVC (w/w) equal to 2-3 were readily obtained.

    Description / Table of Contents: Eine Reihe oberflächensulfonierter, makroporöser Styrol-Divinylbenzol-Copolymerer mit unterschiedlichen Gehalten an SO3H-Gruppen wurden hergestellt. Sowohl von diesen Copolymeren als auch vom nichtsulfonierten Copolymeren wurden Porenstruktur, Oberflächenhydrophilie und -polarität sowie das Sorptionsverhalten gegenüber einigen in Blut vorkommenden Substanzen bestimmt. Der Sorptionsgrad wird umso kleiner, je größer die Oberflächenpolarität ist. Die teilsulfonierten Polymeren könnten eine Anwendung in der Hämoperfusion finden.
    Notes: A series of surface sulphonated macroporous styrene-divinylbenzene (S-DVB) copolymers containing various amounts of  - SO3H groups was obtained. Porous structure, surface hydrophilicity and polarity, and sorption properties of these copolymers as well as those of starting S-DVB resin towards some substances which are present in blood were determined. The sorption degree becomes the smaller the higher is the surface polarity. The partially sulphonated copolymers may find an application in hemoperfusion.

    Description / Table of Contents: Bei der Herstellung dünner Filme von sulfonierten Polyphenylenoxid/Polysulfon (SPPO/PS)-Composit-Membranen wurde untersucht, daß ein Zusatz von Nitromethan zu einer Lösung von sulfoniertem Polyphenylenoxidnatrium erhöhte Wirkung auf die Trenncharakteristik der inversen Osmose besitzt. Der Einfluß von gamma-Strahlung auf dünne Filme der Composit-Membran unter nassen und trockenen Bedingungen wurde ebenfalls untersucht. Um die maximal mögliche Verbesserung zu erreichen, wurden die Composit-Membranen einer kombinierten chemischen und Gammastrahlen-Behandlung unter nassen und trockenen Bedingungen unterworfen.Die experimentellen Ergebnisse dieser kombinierten Behandlung zeigen, dalß die SPPO/PS Composit-Membran dabei abgebaut wird.
    Notes: The enhancement effect of the addition of nitromethane into the coating solution of sulfonated sodium poly(phenylene oxide) (SPPONa) polymer for the synthesis of sulfonated poly(phenylene oxide)/polysulfone (SPPO/PS) thin film composite membranes on reverse osmosis (RO) separation characteristic was studied. The effect of gamma-ray irradiation on the SPPO/PS thin film composite membranes was also evaluated when the membrane samples were in the wet and dry conditions. The composite membranes were also subjected to a chemical treatment combined with gamma-ray irradiation in both wet and dry conditions in the hope of obtaining the maximum possible enhancement under each treatment. However, the experimental data of this combined treatment indicated the possibility of some degradation of the SPPO/PS composite membranes.

    Description / Table of Contents: Methylmethacrylat (MMA) wurde mit Hilfe von Cerammoniumnitrat als Initiator auf Stärke gepfropft. Die Pfropfcopolymeren wurden durch selektive Lösungsextraktion in einem Soxhlet-Extraktor isoliert. Der Einfluß von Reaktionszeit, Initiatorkonzentration, Temperatur sowie der Monomer- und Särekonzentration auf die Pfropfausbeute wurde untersucht. Eine erste Studie der Kinetik dieser Pfropfcopolymerisationsreaktion zeigt, daß sie dem üblichen kinetischen Verhalten einer Radikalpolymerisation folgt.
    Notes: Methyl methacrylate (MMA) was grafted onto starch using ceric ammonium nitrate as initiator. The graft copolymers were isolated by selective solvent extraction in a Soxhlet apparatus. The effects of reaction time, initiator concentration, temperature, monomer, and acid concentrations on the graft yields were investigated. A preliminary kinetic study of the graft copolymerisation reactions shows that they follow the conventional kinetic behaviour of free radical polymerisation.

    Description / Table of Contents: Durch Verwendung von Phenol-Formaldehyd-Harz mit gepreßten Olivenkenen im Gewichtsverháltnis 20/80 wurden kleine zylindrische Formkörper durch Härtung hergestellt. Diese wurden pyrolysiert und einige Proben mit Wasserdampf aktiviert. Für diese Formkörper und für zwei kommerzielle Aktivkohlen für Laboratoriumsbzw. Industrie-Anwendungen wurden folgende Eigenschaften bestimmt: die spezifische Oberfláche, die Struktur, die Adsorptionseigenschaften sowie die Adsorptionskapazität. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, daß die hergestellten kohlenstoffhaltigen Materialien durch Aktivierung höhere Werte für die untersuchten Eigenschaften ergeben als die nur pyrolysierten Proben und die zwei kommerziellen Aktivkohlen. Es wurde festgestellt, daß die Adsorption des 4-Nitrophenols für alle untersuchten kohlenstoffhaltigen Materialien gemäß der Freundlich-Gleichung stattfindet. Die Raster-Elektronenmikroskopie zeigt, daß die hergestellten kohlenstoffhaltigen Materialien andere Porenarten aufweisen als die kommerziellen Aktivkohlen. Die experimentellen Ergebnisse werden durch die molekularen Dimensionen der zur Adsorption verwendeten Substanzen und den Polarisationseffekt der Substituenten am Benzolring erklärt.
    Notes: Mixtures of phenol-formaldehyde-resin and pressed olive stones in a weight ratio of 20/80 were cured as small cylinders and then pyrolyzed. Some samples were also activated by steam. For these specimens and for two commercial activated carbons of laboratory or industrial uses the specific surface area, the structure, the adsorption properties, and the adsorption capacity were determined. The results indicate that the carbonaceous material produced by activation has greater values for the examined properties in comparison to the only pyrolyzed and the two commercial activated carbons, respectively. It was found that the Freundlich-equation is valid for the adsorption of 4-nitrophenol on all carbonaceous materials examined. The produced carbonaceous materials have different kinds of pores than the commercial activated carbons. The experimental results are explained with regard to the molecular dimensions of the adsorptive substances and the polarization effect of the substituents of the benzene ring.

    Description / Table of Contents: Käufliche Weizenmehlstärke wurde unter Verwendung verschiedener Mengen Schwefelkohlenstoff und Acrylnitril xanthogeniert und cyanethyliert und dann zur Herstellung von modifizierten Stärke-Naturkautschuk-Masterbatches eingesetzt. Weiterhin wurden die Einflüsse untersucht, die die Gleichgewichte der Xanthogenierung und Cyanethylierung gegenseitig aufeinander ausüben. Die Ergebnisse werden auf der Basis definierter Wechselwirkungen zwischen der Xanthogenatgruppe und dem freien Acrylnitril erklärt. Hierbei führen sowohl sterische Faktoren als auch die höhere Elektrophilie des Acrylnitrils zum Zerfall der Xanthogenatgruppe. Daher kann die Cyanethylierung nur noch in einem geringeren Ausmaß erfolgen.
    Notes: Common wheat flour starch was subjected to xanthation followed by cyanoethylation at various levels of carbon disulfide and acrylonitrile to prepare modified starchnatural rubber masterbatches. Mutual influences of the extents of equilibrium xanthation and cyanoethylation on each other have been studied. The results have been explained on the basis of a definite interaction between xanthate group and free acrylonitrile in which both the steric factors and higher electrophilicity of acrylonitrile lead to the decomposition of xanthate groups and reduced the extent of cyanoethylation.

    Description / Table of Contents: The present paper describes a rheo-optical apparatus consisting of an elongational rheometer (with rotary clamps) and a device to measure birefringence. This equipment was designed to perform homogeneous deformations on polymer melts in the simple elongational mode. Elongational experiments were performed on polyisobutylene samples at room temperature using different strain rates (from \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$\dot \varepsilon$\end{document} 0.01 s-1 to 1 s-1). In typical experiments homogeneous elongations up to λ ≈ 200 and stresses up to 2 · 106 Pa were achieved. The stress, the birefringence, and the deformation were obtained by measuring the force, the sample thickness, the optical retardation (the frequency of the sampling was 20 Hz) and the width of the sample (the frequency of the sampling was 3 Hz). It was found that the stress-optical coefficient was constant. The homogeneity of the deformations was carefully controlled because inhomogeneities cause serious errors in the measurements of elongational viscosity and birefringence.
    Notes: Es wird über eine rheo-optische Apparatur zur Verstreckung von Polymerschmelzen mit rotierenden Klemmen berichtet, die mit einer Doppelbrechungs-Meßeinrichtung ausgerüstet ist. Mit dieser Einrichtung können einfache Dehnungen an Polymerschmelzen bis zu hohen Verstreckgraden unter homogenen Bedingungen durchgeführt werden. Während des Deformationsvorganges können die Spannung, die Doppelbrechung und die Probendicke mit einer Meßrate von 20 Hz, sowie die Probenbreite mit ca. 3 Hz erfaßt werden.Wir haben Messungen an Polyisobutylen bei Raumtemperatur mit verschiedenen Dehngeschwindigkeiten (0,01 s-1 〈 \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$\dot \varepsilon$\end{document} 〈 1 s-1) bis zu einem Verstreckgrad von λ ≈ 200 durchgeführt. Dabei wurden Spannungen bis zu 2 · 106 Pa erhalten. Das spannungsoptische Gesetz war bei homogener Versuchsführung stets erfüllt. Es wird gezeigt, daß ohne Kontrolle der Dehngeschwindigkeit und insbesondere bei inhomogener Dehung nicht nur Abweichungen vom spannungsoptischen Gesetz, sondern auch große Fehler bei der Spannungs- bzw. Viskositätsberechnung auftreten. Deshalb wurde großer Wert auf die Prüfung der Homogenität der Dehnung gelegt.

    Description / Table of Contents: The miscibility of various polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA)/polybutylmethacrylate (PBMA)/poly(methylmethacrylate-co-butylmethacrylate)systems has been studied. PMMA and PBMA are immiscible. Methacrylic homopolymers and copolymers are immiscible, too. A one-phase mixture from PMMA and PBMA is only accessible by copolymerization.
    Notes: Die Mischbarkeit von verschiedenen Systemen aus Polymethylmethacrylat (PMMA), Polybutylmethacrylat (PBMA) und Poly(methylmethacrylat-co-butylmethacrylat) (P(MMA-co-BMA)) wurde untersucht. PMMA und PBMA sind miteinander nicht mischbar. Die untersuchten Homopolymeren und entsprechende Methacrylatcopolymere bilden ebenfalls heterogene Systeme. Einphasige Mischungen aus PMMA und PBMA sind nur über Copolymerisation erreichbar.

    Description / Table of Contents: The condensation reaction of bisphenol A, melamine, and formaldehyde was investigated by gel permeation chromatography, 13C-NMR-spectroscopy, IR-spectroscopy and elemental analysis. Because of the high reaction rates the condensation could be investigated only in the range of pH 6-10. At pH 6 and 7 the reaction of melamine with formaldehyde is dominating.With increasing pH-value the condensation of bisphenol A with formaldehyde is observed preferably. At pH 10 the condensation results in high molecular products. Cocondensation of melamine and bisphenol A through methylene bridges does not take place. But as a separation of the bisphenol A-formaldehyde condensates from the other condensation products was not possible, the three components may be connected through methylene-ether groups and/or intermolecular hydrogen bridges.
    Notes: Die gemeinsame Kondensation von Bisphenol A, Melamin und Formaldehyd wurde mit Hilfe der Gelpermeationschromatographie, der 13C-NMR-Spektroskopie, IR-Spektroskopie und Elementaranalyse untersucht. Wegen der hohen Kondensationsgeschwindigkeit verläuft die Reaktion in Gegenwart der drei Komponenten nur im Bereich von pH 6-10 kontrollierbar. Bei pH 6 und 7 überwigt die Kondensation zwischen Melamin und Formaldehyd. Mit steigendem pH-Wert tritt die Reaktion von Bisphenol A mit Formaldehyd in den Vordergrund und führt bei pH 10 zu hochmolekularen Kondensationsprodukten.Auf direkte Cokondensation hinweisende Methylenverknüpfungen zwischen der phenolischen Komponente und Melamin konnten nicht nachgewiesen werden. Die Kondensationsprodukte des Melamins bzw. des Bisphenol A mit Formaldehyd lassen sich aber nicht mehr vollständig aus den Reaktionsgemischen der Vorkondensation abtrennen, was dafür spricht, daß die Komponenten über Methylenetherbrücken und/oder intermolekularen Wasserstoffbrücken miteinander verknüpft sind.

    Description / Table of Contents: Mit Hilfe der 13C-NMR-Spektroskopie wurde die Entwicklung der Oligomerenverteilung während der Polymerisation von 13C-angereichertem Ethylen mit dem löslichen Ziegler-Katalysatorsystem Cp2TiMeCl/AlMe2Cl verfolgt. Zuordnung und quantitative Auswertung aller Signale der verschiedenen wachsenden Ketten werden beschrieben. Die Geschwindigkeiten der Ethylen- und der Cp2 TiMeCl-Abnahme sowie die Bildungsgeschwindigkeit neuer Ketten konnten direkt aus den Spektren ermittelt werden. So läßt sich zum ersten Mal zeigen, daß die Konzentration der Ti-Propyl-und Ti-Pentylspezies in einen stationthen Zustand einlaufen. Dies ermbglicht, die Geschwindigkeitskonstanten der Ethyleninsertion in die Ti-Kohlenstoffbindung von Ti-Me, Ti-Pr und Ti-Pe zu ermitteln. Diese Ergebnisse fiihren zu einem detaillierten Ein-blick in den Ablauf der ersten Insertionsschritte und sind so eine Grundlage fur die mathematische Modellierung. Sie sind aufierdem ein weiterer unabhlngiger Beweis für die Giiltigkeit des dynamischen Modells des Mechanismus der Ethylenpolymerisation mit lbslichen Ziegler-Katalysatoren, nlmlich die Bildung der polymerisationsaktiven Spezies in zwei aufeinanderfolgenden sehr dynamischen Gleichgewichtsreaktionen.
    Notes: The development of the oligomer distribution during the polymerization of 13C-enriched ethylene by the soluble Ziegler catalyst system Cp2 TiMeCl/AlMe2Cl was followed by 13C-NMR spectroscopy. The assignment of the signals from the growing chains is described in full. It is shown that the rate of consumption of ethylene and Cp2 TiMeCl and the rate of formation of new chains can be monitored directly from the spectra. The concentrations of Ti-propyl and Ti-pentyl species during the polymerization were followed spectroscopically; both attain a steady state concentration. The relative rates were determined for the insertion of ethylene in the Ti-carbon bond of Ti-Me, Ti-Pr and Ti-Pe. These results give a detailed insight into the way that the oligomer distribution develops and provide a basis for its computer simulation. They also provide an independent proof that the dynamic model for the mechanism of ethylene polymerization with soluble Ziegler catalysts of the type Cp2 TiRCl/AlRnClm is correct.

    Description / Table of Contents: Der Einfluß verschiedener Reaktionsbedingungen auf die Bromierung von ataktischem Poly(propylen) (APP) in Tetrachlorkohlenstofflösung wurde untersucht. Mit zunehmender Reaktionszeit steigt der Bromierungsgrad. Auch mit steigender Verdünnung der APP-Lösung nimmt die Bromierungsgeschwindigkeit zu, welche bezüglich der APP-Konzentration die Ordnung 0,66 hat. Dies wird erklärt durch die anfängliche Substitution eines Wasserstoffs am tertiären Kohlenstoffatom. Die folgende H-Abstraktion an den benachbaren sekundären und primären Kohlenstoffatomen ist erleichtert. Die scheinbare Aktivierungsenergie wurde zu 11,9 kcal/mol bestimmt. Die Bromierungsgeschwindigkeit steigt bis zu einem APP : Br2-Molverhältnis von 1 : 1 an, darüber hinaus wird die Geschwindigkeit unabhängig vom Molverhältnis. Die Bromierung scheint folgendermaßen zu verlaufen: Nach anfänglicher Substitution eines tertiären H-Atoms durch freie Bromradikale werden nach und nach auchdie sekundäen und primären H-Atome durch weitergehende Substitution oder durch Addition nach einem Eliminierungsschritt ersetzt. Das IR-Spektrum bestätigt die Anwesenheit von Brom in den Proben.
    Notes: Effects of various reaction conditions on bromination of atactic poly(propylene) (APP) in carbon tetrachloride solution were studied. It was found that with the increase of the reaction time the extent of bromination increases. Also with an increased dilution of APP the rate of bromination increased following a bromination order of 0.66 with respect to APP concentration. This has been ascribed to initial replacement of the hydrogen at the tertiary carbon atoms followed by enhanced ease of abstraction from the neighbouring secondary and primary carbon atoms. The apparent activation energy was found to be 11.9 kcal/mol. The rate of bromination increases with an increase of the APP: Br2 molar ratio up to 1 : 1, beyond which the rate becomes independent of this ratio. Mechanism of bromination appears to be an initial substitution of tertiary H-atoms by bromine radicals followed subsequently by replacement of secondary and primary H-atoms via either progressive substitution or elimination-addition. IR spectra confirm the presence of bromine in the samples.

    Notes: Cyclodextrin membrane-modified electrodes as sensor materials have been prepared by dipping platinum electrodes in the water suspensions of an oriented cyclodextrin polymer, followed by drying the polymer layers on the electrodes. The polymer is obtained by the solid-liquid reaction between the crystal of cyclodextrin inclusion complex and hexamethylene diisocyanate in anisole. The thickness (2 - 80 μm) of the cyclodextrin membrane is satisfactorily controlled by changing the concentration of the water suspension of the polymer. The cyclodextrin membranemodified electrodes show a significant response to p-nitrophenolate in water which is highly in contrast with no measurable response to o- and m-nitrophenolates.

    Description / Table of Contents: Im Zusammenhang mit dem Studium des Wirkungsmechanismus von industriell hergestellten Antidegradantien vom Typus der N-Phenyl-N′-sek-alkyl-1,Cphenylendiamine wurde die Reaktion von N-Phenyl-1,4-benzochinonimin (I) und 4-Hydroxydiphenylamin (II) mit dem Kohlenstoff-Radikal 1-Cyano-l-methylethyl (R·) studiert. Das Gemisch von I und II reagiert mit R· sehr leicht unter Bildung der Verbindungen III, VI und VIII. I allein reagiert wesentlich langsamer, und das Reaktionsgemisch enthält mehrere Produkte. Neben der Verbindung III wurden auch die Verbindungen IV und VII identifiziert. II allein reagiert bei denselben Bedingungen nicht. Die Verbindung IV bildet die zwei isomeren Strukturen syn und anti. Die Verbindung VIII ist ziemlich unbeständig; aus ihren Umwandlungsprodukten wurde XI isoliert. Bei der Reduktion von IV entsteht die Verbindung V, die ähnlich wie VIII unbeständig ist.
    Notes: The reaction of N-phenyl-1,4-benzoquinoneimine (I)Decoding of abbreviations see p. 103/104. and 4-hydroxydiphenylamine (II) with the carbon centred 1-cyano-1-methylethyl radical (R·) was studied in connection with an investigation of the action mechanism of industrial antidegradants, such as N-phenyl-N′-sec-alkyl-1,4-phenylenediamines. The mixture of I and II reacts very readily with R·, giving rise to III, VI, and VIII. I alone reacts much slowlier, and the reaction mixture contains more products. IV and VII were identified along with III. Under the conditions used, II alone does not react at all. IV exists in two isomeric forms, syn and anti. VIII is very labile; XI was isolated from its transformation products. Reduction of IV gives V, which is labile, similarly to VIII.

    Description / Table of Contents: Samples of polyoxymethylene (unstabilized and stabilized with the antiozonants N-isopropyl-N′-phenyl-p-phenylenediamin (IPPD) and bis-(1,2,3,6-tetrahydrobenzaldehyd)pentaerithritylacetal (Vulkazon AFS)) were ozonized under mechanical load in a special climate chamber. Surface damages were determined by IR-spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy. During the ozonolysis a damaged layer is formed, the thickness of which increases with increasing time of ozonization. During this damaging reaction acetal groups are attacked and oligomers are formed.

Die Schädigungen auf der Oberfläche wurden IR-spektroskopisch und rasterelektronenmikroskopisch untersucht. Während der Ozonisierung von POM bildet sich eine geschädigte Schicht, deren Dicke mit zunehmender Ozonisierungszeit wächst. Hierbei wird das Polymere an den Acetalbindungen angegriffen, wodurch Ketten gespalten werden und Oligomere entstehen.

    Description / Table of Contents: Mit Hilfe verschiedener Methoden wurde der Einfluß der Entfernung unterschiedlicher porenbildender Verdünner aus porösen Styrol-Ethylstyrol-Acrylnitril-Divinylbenzol-Copolymeren auf die Netzwerkstruktur untersucht. Der günstigste Weg, den ursprünglichen strukturellen Bau des porösen Netzwerkes zu bewahren, welches in Gegenwart von solvatisierenden Verdünnern erhalten wurde, ist das Entfernen des inerten Mediums mit Methanol. Wenn die Wasserdampfmethode angewendet wird, fin det der sog. Kollapseffekt statt, und die aus solchen Harzen hergestellten Anionenaustauscher adsorbieren weniger Farbstoff im Vergleich zu jenen, die aus Perlen hergestellt worden sind, die mit Methanol behandelt wurden; Grund hierfür ist die durch den Kollaps veränderte Porengröße. Es wurde ebenfalls festgestellt, daß die in Anwesenheit von solvatisierenden Verdünnern (Mischungen aus Quellungs- und Fällmitteln) hergestellten Copolymeren in Methanol sehr gut quellen, obwohl dieses ein Fällungsmittel für Polystyrol ist.
    Notes: The influence of the removal of various diluents, pore forming agents from the porous styrene-ethylstyrene-acrylonitrile-divinylbenzene copolymers on the structure of the matrix was investigated by several methods. The most advantageous pathway to preserve the initial structural edifice of the porous networks performed in the presence of solvating diluents consisted in the removal of the inert media with methanol as it was noticed from the experimental data. If the steam treatment is applied, the collapse effect takes place and the anion exchangers prepared from such matrices exchange/adsorb less dye stuff by comparison with ones formed from beads treated with methanol, because the pore size was changed. It was also noticed that the porous copolymers performed in the presence of the solvating diluents (mixtures of solvatings and precipitants) swell very well in methanol though it is a precipitating medium for the polystyrenic macromolecular chains.

    Description / Table of Contents: An Styrol-Zinkacrylat-Copolymeren wurde die Abhängigkeit der Glasübergangstemperatur von der Aufheizgeschwindigkeit und der Zusammensetzung mit Hilfe der Differential-Scanning-Calorimetrie untersucht. Die Thermogravimetrie wurde benutzt, um die Pyrolyse dieser Copolymeren an Luft bei drei verschiedenen Aufheizge-schwindigkeiten zu untersuchen. Die thermische Zersetzung von Ionomeren ist ein 3-Stufen-Prozeß. Die Reaktionsordnung und Aktivierungsenergie wurde für jede Stufe der Zersetzung bestimmt unter Verwendung eines Computerprogramms, das auf den Methoden von Kissinger, Freeman-Carrol und Ozawa basiert. Es zeigte sich, daß die thermische Stabilität durch die ionischen Gruppen abnimmt.
    Notes: The dependence of glass temperature on the heating rate and the composition for styrene-zinc acrylate copolymers has been investigated by differential scanning calorimetry. Thermogravimetry was used in order to examine these copolymers undergoing pyrolysis in an atmosphere of air at three different heating rates. Thermal decomposition of ionomers is a three-stage process. The orders and activation energies have been determined for each stage of decomposition using the computer programs based on the methods of Kissinger, Freeman-Carrol, and Ozawa. It was found that the heat stability is lowered by the ionic groups.

    Description / Table of Contents: Die Pfropfung der hydrophilen Monomeren N-Vinylpyrrolidon, 2-Hydroxyethyl-methacrylat und Acrylamid auf ungesättigte segmentierte Polyurethane in N,N-Dimethylformamid mit 2,2′-Azobisisobutyronitril als Initiator wurde untersucht. Die Pfropfcopolymeren wurden von den Homopolymeren durch selektive Extraktion in Soxhlet-Apparaturen abgetrennt. Die kinetische Untersuchung der Pfropfcopolymerisation zeigte, daß die Reaktionen dem gewöhnlichen kinetischen Verhalten radikalischer Polymerisationen folgen. Die Abhängigkeiten der Pfropfungsgeschwindigkeit von der Initiator- und N-Vinylpyrrolidonkonzentration waren von 0,5 bzw. 1,0 Ordnung. Für 2-Hydroxyethylmethacrylat wurden sie zu jeweils 0,5 und 2,0 gefunden. Die Gesamtaktivierungsenergie der Pfropfcopolymerisation des 2-Hydroxyethylmethacrylats und des N-Vinylpyrrolidons betragen jeweilig 21,81 und 16,28 kJ/mol.
    Notes: Grafting of unsaturated segmented polyurethanes with some hydrophilic monomers such as N-vinyl pyrrolidone, 2-hydroxyethylmethacrylate and acrylamide in N,N-dimethylformamide have been studied using 2,2′-azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN) as initiator. Graft copolymers were isolated from homopolymers by selected solvent extraction using a Soxhlet apparatus. A kinetic study of graft copolymerization reactions showed that the reactions follow the conventional kinetic behaviour of free radical polymerization. The dependencies of the grafting rate on initiator and N-vinyl pyrrolidone concentrations were of 0.5 and 1.00 order, respectively. However, for the 2-hydroxyethylmethacrylate, the dependencies of the grafting rate on initiator and monomer concentrations were found to be of 0.5 and 2.00 order, respectively. The overall activation energy for the graft copolymerization of the 2-hydroxyethylmethacrylate and N-vinyl pyrrolidone were 21.81 kJ/mol and 16.28 kJ/mol, respectively.

Highly dispersed Ni catalysts on carbon were obtained from thermal decomposition of these gel membranes. The particle size is in the range of several nm to a few ten nm. They show interesting catalytic properties for hydrogenation of olefins such as cyclooctadiene.

    Description / Table of Contents: An Proben aus Polypropylen, die bei sehr unterschiedlichen Einstellungen von Spritzgußmaschinen und Extrudern hergestellt wurden, stellten sich deutliche Abhängigkeiten des Alterungsverhaltens von den thermischen und mechanischen Produktionsparametern ein, die nicht durch unterschiedliche Schmelzetemperaturen bedingt sind. Insbesondere kann ausgesagt werden, daß bei Spritzguß eine hähere Scherbelastung und damit stärkere Orientierungen -eine stärkere Veränderung der Eigenspannungen hervorrufen-einen früheren Glanzabfall und-eine geringere Initialzeit bis zur Rißbildung bewirken.Bei Extrusion fiihrt eine geringere Abkühlgeschwindigkeit und damit ein gröberes Gefüge zu -einer stärkeren Veränderung der Eigenspannungen-einem friiheren und ausgeprägteren Glanzverlust-sowie zu einem früheren Abfall der Reißdehnungen.Unbekannt ist, -ob diese Wirkungen auch bei anderen Thermoplasten als PP auftreten-ob sie auch bei stabilisierten Systemen in relativ gleichem Umfange auftreten-und ob es sich lohnt, die beobachteten Effekte ggf. durch ge zielte Maschineneinstellungen auszunutzen.Auf jeden Fall sollten auf diesem Gebiet weitere Arbeiten durchge-führt werden.
    Notes: Specimens of unmodified polypropylene have been manufactured using extreme adjustings of injection moulding machines and extruders. After artificial weathering, distinct relations of ageing processes to thermal and mechanical production parameters were found, which are not influenced by different melting temperatures. It can be started in particular, that during injection moulding a larger shear stress (resulting in more distinct orientation) results in -a greater change in residual stresses-an earlier gloss reduction-a shorter initial period before cracking.During extrusion a lower cooling rate (resulting in a coarser structure) leads to -a greater change in residual stresses-an earlier and more distinct gloss reduction-an earlier loss of ultimate strain.It remains unknown, whether -these relationships will be similar with other thermoplastic materials than PP-these relationships appear to the same relative extend with stabilized systems-it may be advantageous, to use the observed effects by adjusting the injection moulding and extrusion machines in a special way.It seems to be significant to do more research work in this field.

    Description / Table of Contents: Poly(tetramethylenadipat)diol mit einer Molmasse von 2000 wurde bei Temperaturen von 60 und 80°C in Gegenwart von Wasser bzw. 1,4-Butandiol sowie den gebräuchlichsten PUR-Katalysatoren (Dabco und Dibutylzinndilaurat) gelagert und die Solvolyse untersucht. Die Geschwindigkeit der Solvolyse nimmt mit steigender Temperatur deutlich zu. Die Alkoholyse wird durch Dibutylzinndilaurat weitaus stärker katalysiert als durch 1,4-Diazabicyclo[2.2.2]oktan. Die Hydrolyse verläuft langsamer, da vermutlich die Katalysatoren bei diesem Prozeß desaktiviert werden. Die mechanischen Eigenschaften von Polyurethanen, die mit den partiell abgebauten Diolen hergestellt wurden, korrelieren gut mit der Abnahme der Molmasse.
    Notes: Poly(tetramethylene adipate)diol having a molar mass of 2000 was stored at temperatures of 60 and 80°C in the presence of water or 1,4-butanediol and a common PUR-catalyst like 1,4-diazabicyclo [2.2.2]octane (DABCO) or dibutyltindilaurate (DBTL) and the solvolysis was investigated. The rate of solvolysis is low at 60°C except for DBTL and shows a drastic increase at 80°C. In the alcoholysis reaction DBTL is a much more active catalyst than DABCO. The rate of hydrolysis is slower probably because the catalysts are deactivated by the acidic products formed in this process. The mechanical properties of polyurethanes made from the degraded polyols are in good correlation with the decrease in molar mass.

    Description / Table of Contents: Der Einfluß der Zugabe von Bis(allylphenyl) Typ (TM 120)-Monomeren auf die Eigenschaften von unidirektional mit Carbonfasern verstärkten 4,4′-Bismaleimidodiphenylmethan (BM) - 2,4-Tolylendiamin (A) (1:0,3 Molverhältnis) (BM-A)-Verbundkörpern wird vorgestellt. Das Aushärteverhalten sowie das thermische Verhalten in Luft wurde mit Hilfe der Differentialkalorimetrie (DSC) und der Thermogravimetrie (TGA) untersucht. Die thermische Stabilität nimmt mit ansteigenden Konzentrationen von TM 120 deutlich zu. Demgegenüber steht ein Anstieg der Biegefesigkeit, der interlaminaren Scherfestigkeit sowie der Schlagzähigkeit mit zunehmender Monomerkonzentration. Optimale mechanische Eigenschaften wurden bei etwa 20 Tle./100 Tle. TM 120 erreicht.
    Notes: The paper deals with the effect of addition of bis(allylphenyl) type (TM 120) monomer on the properties of unidirectionally carbon fibre reinforced 4,4′ bismaleimidodi-phenyl methane (BM) - 2,4-tolylene diamine (A) (1:0.3 molar ratio) (BM-A) composites. The curing and thermal behaviour of the blends was investigated by using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) in air atmosphere. A marginal decrease in thermal stability was observed with increasing concentration of TM 120. Flexural, interlaminar, and impact strength of the laminates increased in the presence of this monomer. Optimum mechanical properties were observed at ∼ 20 phr of TM 120.

    Description / Table of Contents: In dieser Arbeit wurden Veränderungen des verschweisßten Rohr- und Fittingmaterials (isotaktisches Polypropylen Homo- bzw. Copolymer PP-R grau pigmentiert) wührend der für die Praxis relevanten Innendruckversuche untersucht.Bei der technischen Verschweißung von Polyolefinen entstehen charakteristische Gefüigezonen im Schweißnahtbereich, welche vom Fßgematerial und den Fngebedingungen beeinflußt werden. In der vorliegenden Untersuchung wurden sowohl die Materialcbergange im Fiigebereich (mit den Methoden - schichtenweise Differentialkalorimetrie, Polarisations- bzw. Elektronenmikroskopie sowie Fluoreszenzspektroskopie mit extrem hoher Ortsauflösung) als auch die Eigenspannungen hinsichtlich ihrer Verlnderung bei Langzeitpriifung im Innendruckzeitstandversuch bei 95°C bis zu einer Prüfzeit von 18.100h untersucht.Die Abbauvorgänge der Makromoleküle bei der Langzeitprüfung der 364 untersuchten Schweißmuster werden in einer gesonderten Arbeit behandelt (1).Durch die Innendruckversuche bei 950 C findet eine Nachkristallisation und eine Gefügevergrijberung sowohl in der Schweißnaht als auch im Gefüge der Schweißpartner statt. Dabei werden die beim Schweißvorgang eingebrachten Orientierungen und Eigenspannungen unter dem Einfluß von Wärme beim Innendruckversuch weitgehend abgebaut. Durch die unter Druckeinwirkung einsetzenden Flieävorgange jedoch werden neue Eigenspannungen eingebracht.Es konnte gezeigt werden, daß bei guter Verschweißung von PP mit PPCO ein kontinuierlicher Übergang (Mischungsbereich) vom Homopolymeren zum Copolymeren auftritt, der auch beim Langzeiteinsatz im Innendruckversuch erhalten bleibt.
    Notes: The present study deals with changes of welded material of pipes and fittings (isotactic polypropylene homo and copolymer PP-R grey pigmented) during the standardized internal pressure tests, which are commonly used for these products.Technical welding of polyolefines causes characteristic structures, which depend on the natural of the welded material and the welding conditions.In this investigation both the transition of material in the welding seam and the changes of internal stresses during internal pressure tests at 95°C until 18.100h test time were examined. The methods we used were Differential calorimetry of think layers, Polarization- and Electron microscopy, Fluorescence spectroscopy with extreme high local resolution.The effects of decomposition of the macromolecules in the welded samples during the internal pressure tests will be described in a separate paper (1).The internal pressure tests at 95O C cause a recrystallization and an increase of the particle size in the structure of the welding seam and in the structure of the welded parts themselves. Under the above described testing conditions the orientations and internal stresses initiated by the welding procedure will relaxe influenced by heat. However the creep effects that occur in the material when exposed to pressure introduce new internal stresses. It could be shown that in perfectly welded parts a continuous transition from PP to PPCO occurs, which did not change after long time application of internal pressure tests.

    Description / Table of Contents: Es wurden neue Coordinationspolymere mit Schiffschen Basen aus Terephthalal dehyd und S-Benzyldithiocarbazol als Liganden in DMF-Lösung hergestellt. Die erhaltenen Coordinationspolymeren wurden durch Elementaranalyse, magnetische Suszeptibilität, elektronische und IR-Spektroskopie charakterisiert. Die durch Thermogravimetrie bestimmte thermische Stabilität der Coordinationspolymeren nahm in der folgenden Reihenfolge ab: \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}${\rm Zn} \simeq {\rm Fe} 〉 {\rm Co} 〉 {\rm Ni} 〉 {\rm Min} \simeq {\rm Cu}$\end{document} Mn(II)-, Fe(II)-, Co(II)- und Ni(II)-Coordinationspolymere haben eine Oktaederstruktur mit der Koordinationszahl6, während bei den Cu(II)- und Zn(II)-Coordinationspolymeren eine 4-fach koordinierte quadratisch-planare bzw. eine tetraedrische Struktur gefunden wurde. Ligandenfeld- und nephelawetische Parameter wurden aus den Spektren errechnet. Dam wurde die Ligandenfeldtheorie spin-erlaubter Übergänge angewandt, die sich als konsistent mit einer 6-fach koordinierten Struktur für Mn(II)-, Fe(II)-, Co(II)- und Ni(II)-Coordinationspolymere erwies. Die Elementaranalysen ergaben bei allen Coordinationspolymeren ein Ligand: Metall-Verhältnis von 1 : 1 und deuteten bei den Mn(II)-, Fe(II)-, Co(II)- und Ni(II)-Coordinationspolymeren auf am Zentralatom assoziierte Wassermoleküle hin.
    Notes: New Mn(II), Fe(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), and Zn(II) coordination polymers of Schiff base ligand derived from terephthalaldehyde and S-benzyldithiocarbazate have been synthesized in DMF media. The coordination polymers have been characterized by their elemental analysis, magnetic susceptibility, and by electronic and infrared spectral measurements.The thermal stability of each polymer was found out by thermogravimetric analysis. The thermal stability of coordination polymers obtained from thermograms has the following order: \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$ {\rm Zn} \simeq {\rm Fe} 〉 {\rm Co} 〉 {\rm Ni} 〉 {\rm Min} \simeq {\rm Cu}$\end{document} Mn(II), Fe(II), Co(II), and Ni(II) coordination polymers are of a six-coordinated octahedral structure while Cu(II) and Zn(II) coordination polymers are found to be four-coordinated square planar and tetrahedral structure, respectively. The ligand-field and nephelauxetic parameters have been determined from the spectra, using ligand-field theory of spin-allowed transitions which are found consistent with six-coordinate structure for Mn(II), Fe(II), Co(II), and Ni(II) coordination polymers. Elemental analyses indicates a ligand: metal ratio of 1 : 1 in all the coordination polymers and the association of water molecules with central metal atom in case of Mn(II), Fe(II), Co(II), and Ni(II) coordination polymers.

    Description / Table of Contents: Emulsionen von aromatischen Polyamidsären (PMPE and PBPPM) in DMF und Methanol wurden benutzt, um gleichmäßige Filme auf Leiteroberflächen durch Elektrophorese abzuscheiden. Die Ausbeute und Qualität der abgeschiedenen Filme hängen von der Art der Polyamidsäre, dem Lösemittel, dem Fällungsmittel, dem oberflächenaktiven Mittel, dem pH-Wert und dem Polymergehalt ab. Die Bedingungen zum Erreichen der höchsten Abscheidungsausbeuten wurden bestimmt.
    Notes: The emulsions of aromatic polyamic acids (PMPE and PBPPM) in DMF and methanol were used to coat uniform films on conductor surfaces by electrodeposition. The deposition yield and quality of the deposited films are dependent on sort of polyamic acid, solvent (DMF), precipitant (MeOH), surfactant (TEA), pH value and solid content. To get maximum deposition yields from PMPE and PBPPM, the best conditions of electrodeposition were required as follows: pH value 5.7 and 5.58, MeOH/DMF weight ratio 3.0 and 2.8, solid content 3.5 and 2.4 wt.-%. Deposition yield was found to obey Faraday's law of electrolysis, and the higher the equivalent weight of the polyamic acid, the higher the coulombic yield.

    Description / Table of Contents: Für eine anionische Polymerisation mit langsamer Start- und schneller Wachstumsreaktion wurde ein analytischer Ausdruck entwickelt, der es erlaubt, mittlere Molekulargewichte und Molekulargewichtsverteilungen von Polymeren vorauszuberechnen, die in einem halbkontinuierlichen Polymerisationsverfahren bei Zulauf einer verunreinigten Monomerlösung zu einer vorgelegten Initiatolösung entstehen. Die Gültig keit des Modells wurde an der Polymerisation von Isopren mit n-Butyllithium in n-Heptan überprüft. Die beobachteten Unterschiede zwischen theoretischen und experimentellen Werten werden auf die Änderungen in den Geschwindigkeitskonstanten von Start- und Wachstumsreaktion zurückgeführt, die dadurch hervorgerufen werden, daß sich die Polarität der Lösung durch die Anreicherung mit polaren Verbindungen ändert. Weiterhin wird gezeigt, daß bimodale Molekulargewichtsverteilungen entstehen, wenn sich an die halbkontinuierliche Verfahrensweise eine diskontinuierliche zur Erhöhung des Monomerumsatzes anschließt.
    Notes: For anionic polymerization with slow initiation and rapid propagation step analytical expressions are presented to calculate average molecular weights and molecular weight distributions for a semi-batch process, in which a monomer solution contaminated by impurities is fed to an initiator solution in the reactor. The validity of the model was checked for the case of the polymerization of isoprene by n-butyllithium in n-heptane. The differences observed between theoretical and experimental values are explained by the changes in the rate constants of the initiation and the propagation step caused by the change in the polarity of the reaction solution by the continuously fed impurities. Furthermore it is shown that polymers with bimodal molecular weight distributions are formed if the semi-batch procedure is followed by a batch one to increase the monomer conversion.

    Description / Table of Contents: Durch Copolymerisation von Butylacrylat (BA) mit Vinylbenzylglycidylether (VBGE) wurden neue Acrylkautschuke mit Epoxyseitengruppen hergestellt. Um die Zähigkeit eines gehärteten Epoxidharzes (Bisphenol A/Diglycidylether/p,p′-Diaminodiphenylsulfon) zu erhöhen, wurde dieses mit den erhaltenen Acrylkautschuken modifiziert. Eine Zugabe von 20 Gew.-% eines Copolymeren mit 74% BA und 26% VBGE-Einheiten führte zu einer 30proz. Zunahme der Bruchzähigkeit (KIC) des gehärteten Harzes bei einer minimalen Einbuße an Festigkeit und Steifigkeit. Die modifizierten Harze wiesen eine Zwei-Phasen-Morphologie auf, bei der Kautschukteilchen mit einer mittleren Größe von 2 μm in eine Epoxymatrix eingebettet sind. Das Copolymere ohne Epoxyseitengruppen, das aus BA und Vinylbenzylmethoxyethylether hergestellt wurde, war als Modifier unwirksam, was darauf hindeutet, daß die seitenstándigen Epoxidgruppen zu einer guten Zwischenphasenadhäsion zwischen Kautschukteilchen und Matrix, und damit zu erhöhter Zähigkeit führen. Kautschuke, die 55 oder 86% BA-Einheiten enthielten, waren ebenfalls ungenügende Modifier. Zugabe des ersteren ergab Harze mit einer homogenen Phasenstruktur, während die Zugabe des letzteren zu einer Phasentrennung zwischen Kautschuk und Epoxidharz führte.
    Notes: New acrylic rubbers with a pendant epoxy group were prepared by copolymerization of butyl acrylate (BA) with vinylbenzyl glycidyl ether (VBGE). The modification of an epoxy system (bisphenol-A diglycidyl ether/p,p′-diaminodiphenyl sulfone) with the acrylic rubbers was carried out in order to increase the toughness of the cured epoxy resin. The addition of 20 wt.-% of the copolymer containing 74% of BA and 26% of VBGE units resulted in a 30% increase in the fracture toughness (KIC) of the cured resin at minimal expenses of strength and modulus of the resin. The modified epoxy resin had two-phase morphology in which the rubber particles with average diameter of 2 μm are dispersed in the epoxy matrix. The copolymer without the pendant epoxy group, prepared from BA and vinylbenzyl methoxyethyl ether, was ineffective as a modifier, indicating that the reaction of the pendant epoxide with the epoxy matrix resulted in good interfacial adhesion between the rubber particles and the matrix, and in the increased toughness. The epoxide-containing copolymers with 55 or 86% of BA units were also insufficient modifiers. The addition of the former yielded cured resins with homogeneous structure, whereas that of the latter resulted in macroscopic phase separation between the rubber and the epoxy resin.

    Description / Table of Contents: Lösungen von Polyether/Polyurethan-Kationomeren, die auf Toluoldiisocyanaten basieren, wurden hergestellt und durch Zugabe von Wasser emulgiert. Die Eigenschaften von aus diesen Lösungen und Emulsionen gegossenen Filmen werden mit Hilfe der Infrarot-Spektroskopie, dynamisch-mechanischer Messungen, der Differentialkalorimetrie, der Weitwinkel-Röntgendiffraktometrie und von Zug-Dehnungsmessungen untersucht. Der Einbau eines asymmetrischen, kettenverlängernden Bausteins, wie N-Methyldiethanolamin, führt zu einem Polyurethan (PU), das, ßhnlich wie das mit symmetrischem, kettenverlängerndem 1,4-Butandiol aufgebaute Polyurethan, eine meßbare Ordnung innerhalb der Hartsegmente aufweist. Nach der Quarternisierung mit Glykolsaure haben die PU-Kationomeren erhöhte Werte für Reißdehnung, Zugmodul und -festigkeit. Dies kann auf die Coulomb-Wechselwirkung zwischen benachbarten Hartsegmenten zurückgefiihrt werden. Das Emulgieren der PU-Ionomer-Lösung führt zu einer verstärkten Mischung der Weich-und Hartsegmente, wodurch die ursprünglichen Hartsegmentbereiche mit asymmetrischen 2,4-Urethanisomeren eine höhere Konzentration an 2,6-Isomeren enthalten. Die Hartsegmentbereiche erreichen dadurch höhere Ordnung. Diese erhähte Ordnung und Phasenmischung führt zu einer Verbesserung der mechanischen Eigenschaften. Die Veränderung der Leitfähigkeit und Viskosität wahrend dem Emulgieren zeigt, daß das Wasser zuerst auf der Oberfäche des Mikroionengitters der Hartsegmente adsorbiert wird und dann in die ungeordneten und geordneten Hartsegmentbereiche eindringt.
    Notes: Toluene diisocyanate based polyether polyurethane cationomer solutions are prepared and then emulsified by adding water. Properties of films cast from the solutions and emulsions are studied using infrared spectroscopy, dynamic mechanical analysis, differential scanning calorimetry, wide-angle X-ray diffraction, and tensileelongation testing. It is found that the use of the asymmetric chain extender, N-methyl-diethanolamine, also leads to a polyurethane (PU) with detectable order in the hard domains as in the PU with symmetric chain extender such as 1,4-butandiol. After quaternization with glycolic acid, the PU cationomers have increased elongation and tensile strength and modulus. These can be attributed to the proper Coulomb interaction between two neighboring hard segments. The emulsification of the PU ionomer solution results in an increased mixing between the soft segments and the hard segments with asymmetric 2,4-urethane isomers originally located in the hard domains, and therefore make the hard domains containing a higher concentration of symmetric 2,6-isomer. The hard domains then become more ordered. Such increased order and phase mixing leads to an increase of the three tensile properties. During the emulsification conductivity and viscosity variations show that water is firstly adsorbed on the surface of the hard segment microionic lattices and then enters into the disordered and ordered hard domains successively.

    Notes: We present a theoretical basis and new methods for the determination of thermodynamic functions from scanning calorimetry data. A thermodynamic state is defined here as an ensemble of microstates in the system, and it can be defined only through assumptions of its heat capacity function and the two integral constants. With these assumptions, scanning calorimetry data can be analyzed using the single or double (or multi-) deconvolution presented here. New equations to calculate the van't Hoff enthalpy function and the calorimetric enthalpy function are presented. We prove that the agreement of these two functions is a necessary and sufficient factor for the condition that the system can be described with the assumed two-state model.

    Notes: Infrared absorption and ir linear dichroism measurements have been performed on poly[d(A-T)-Cs+] films at various relative humidities. At high relative humidity, samples are in a B form; at low relative humidity, in a C form. The B → C conformational transition is shown to be a noncooperative one corresponding to a gradual evolution of the backbone geometry of the polynucleotide within the B family. the C-form-type spectrum is characteristic of an alternated phosphodiester chain with a dinucleotidic repeat unit.

    Notes: Molecular mechanical simulations on base-paired deoxyhexanucleoside phosphates, (dAdT)3 · (dAdT)3, (dTdA)3 · (dTdA)3, (dGdC)3 · (dGdC)3, and (dCdG)3 · (dCdG)3, have been carried out to assess their energetic stabilities in left- and right-handed forms. These hexamers have also been simulated with alternating sugar-puckering profiles with the combinations (purine : C2′-endo-pyrimidine : C3′-endo) and (purine : C3′-endo-pyrimidine C2′-endo). The right-handed models have been found to be the energetically most stable structures and the left-handed structures are significantly destabilized. This instability has been rationalized in terms of competition between stabilizing stacking interactions on one hand, and distortions in the bond angles and torsion angles in the sugar-phosphate backbone on the other.

    Notes: The flexibility of hairpin loops containing n bases (residues) has been examined using a theoretical model [N. L. Marky and W. K. Olson (1982), Biopolymers, 21, 2329-2344] of oligonucleotide loop closure. The study is based on correlated probabilities of chain separation and terminal residue orientation as outlined previously. The probabilities are calculated using standard statistical mechanical methods as functions of local conformational changes of the chain backbone. Our results for an RNA chain of 9 residues suggest that the anticodon loop is a dynamic structure capable of assuming a variety of different spatial conformations. Free energy values related to the various conformations span a narrow range of values (2-4 kcal/mole) and compare well with experimental observations in aqueous solution. Conformational transitions between the loop conformations are within less than 0.5 kcal/mole in free energy. The different spatial loop conformations and the likely pathways between them may have potential relevance to the molecular translation of the genetic code.

    Notes: Secondary-structure prediction has been used to investigate the conformation of the N- and C-terminal telopeptides for type I and type III collagen. The three predictive methods (Chou and Fasman, Robson and co-workers, Lim) indicate mainly aperiodic conformations. A common structural motif is provided by the positioning of β-turns, particularly in the vicinity of the residue sites involved in intermolecular cross-links. An alternative model to that of Helseth et al [(1979) Biopolymers 18, 3005-3014] for the secondary structure of the N-terminal telopeptide of type I collagen is proposed. The general features of these two contrasting structures have been surveyed by model-building techniques employing molecular graphics and energy minimization. The role of the telopeptide component in the structural design of the biomaterial collagen is assessed. Notably, the alternative model clearly serves to demonstrate the compatibility of current cross-linking evidence with the quasi-hexagonal model for the packing of molecules within a collagen fibril.

    Notes: Conformational analysis from the pattern and intensities of cross-peaks in the two-dimensional nuclear Overhauser effect proton nmr spectra of the homopolymer, poly(dA) · poly(dT), and the analogous oligomer, d(AAAAAATTTTTT)2, indicate that they both exist in the B-conformation. The conformation of the ApT/TpA junction in the oligomer is significantly different from the rest of the base pairs.

    Notes: The influence of calcium ions on the polymerization induced in fibrinogen solutions by thrombin and by Reptilase has been investigated by meansof static and dynamic light scattering in combination with measurements of the release of the fibrinopeptide A. The calcium concentration was varied in the range between 0.3 and 103 calcium ions per fibrinogen molecule. The enzyme concentration was chosen sufficiently low so that it was possible to make quantitative observations as a function of time, in particular, beforethe onset of gelation. Likewise, the influence of calcium ions on the enzymatically induced polymerization of fragment X was studied. The results indicate that there are at least three mechanisms by which calcium can influence the evolution of the polymer system on the path to gelation and clotting. Which mechanism dominates depends upon the calcium concentration.

    Notes: We examined the variation in the solvent accessibility and hydrophobicity of the amino acids along the sequences of 58 soluble globular proteins with known tertiary structure. We found that there is a significant tendency for the accessibilities to run in clusters along the sequence but that the hydrophobicities are distributed without such nonrandom clusters. Theseresults suggest severe limitations on the power of sequence analysis tools that use average hydrophobicity scores of overlapping subsequences to predict accessibility.

    Notes: The CD helix bands for infinitely long helical polymers are shown tobe composed of two parts: a derivative-shaped band plus an ordinary Gaussian-like band. The derivative-shaped band results from the zero-order term of an expansion while the Gaussian-like band results from the first-order expansion term. However, the intensities of the two bands are shown to be of the same order of magnitude. They are both linear in the coulombic coupling of transition charge densities for polymer transitions. The sum yields a skewed derivative-shaped band. The shapes of net CD helix bands are shown to not depend on the approximations used for averaging over orientations if the usual systems, such as polypeptides and polynucleotides, are considered in their long-wave-length spectral regions.

    Notes: A procedure, CONGEN, for uniformly sampling the conformational spaceof short polypeptide segments in proteins has been implemented. Because thetime required for this sampling grows exponentially with the number of residues, parameters are introduced to limit the conformational space that has to be explored. This is done by the use of the empirical energy function ofCHARMM [B. R. Brooks, R. E. Bruccoleri, B. D. Olafson, D. J. States, S. Swaminathan and M. Karplus (1983) J. Comput. Chem. 4, 187-217] and truncating the search when conformations of grossly unfavorable energy are sampled. Tests are made to determine control parameters that optimize the search without excluding important configurations. When applied to known protein structures, the resulting procedure is generally capable of generating conformations where the lowest energy conformation matches the known structure within a rms deviation of 1 Å.

    Notes: The binding of tris(2,2′-bipyridyl)ruthenium(II) cations [Ru(bpy)2+3] with single- and double-stranded (ss and ds) DNA, and the polynucleotides poly(A), poly(C), poly(G), poly(I), poly(I) · poly(C), and poly(U), was studied in aqueous solution. Steady-state electrical conductivity measurements with the polynucleotides, ssDNA, and dsDNA reveal that approximately three nucleotides offer one binding site. This may be compared with the ratio [nucleotide]/[Mg2+] of 2.4 : 1 for dsDNA. After laser excitation (353 nm), the luminescence of Ru(bpy)2+3 bound to nucleic acids shows two decay components. The contribution of the fast component, which is interpreted as resulting from quenching processes of the absorbed ruthenium complex, exhibits a maximum with increasing [nucleotide]/[Ru(bpy)2+3] at a ratio of about three to one. Bound Ru(bpy)2+3 can be released from the strand by addition of NaClO4 [half-concentration: 2.5 and ≤ 10 mM for poly(U) and dsDNA, respectively].

    Notes: One approach to finding the conformation of minimum energy for a complicated molecule is to perform energy minimization, perhaps coupled to more exhaustive search procedures such as dynamics or Monte Carlo sampling, from many starting conformation. Where there are geometric constraints on the conformations, as in a ring molecule, or a variable loop starting and ending in known constant regions of one of a series of homologous proteins, rapidly generating many such starting conformations, all satisfying the constraints, has been a problem in the past. We have devised an algorithm, which we call random tweak, which performs this task in the context of a torsional description of a molecule, and have used it to model the backbones of the six CDRs (complementarity determining regions) of the immunoglobulin MCPC603. These range in size from 5 to 19 residues, and have from 8 to 36 variable dihedral angles. Ensembles of 100 properly closed backbone structures for each CDR were generated under several conditions of van der Waals screening internally and against the rest of the molecule, and ensembles of 1000 were generated for selected CDRs. These structure “libraries” reveal how the geometry at the base of a CDR and the topography of the surrounding protein surface restrict the region of space that a given CDR can occupy. In accord with simple notions of chain molecule statistics, the more highly extended a CDR at its base, the more similar the possible structures and the fewer that are necessary to span the conformational space. Energy minimization and molecular dynamics studies (reported elsewhere) using these libraries to furnish starting conformations show that, as the number of residues in a CDR goes from five to nine, the number of randomly generated structures necessary to ensure that low-lying energetic minima, such as the native conformation, will be found several times goes from a few tens to a few hundred. Some of the spatial features of an ensemble of random conformations are implicit in the histogram of the rms atomic displacements calculated for all the pairs in the ensemble. The random tweak method is carried out by setting each dihederal angle on the main chain of the variable fragment to a random value, then using an iterated linearized Lagrange multiplier technique to enforce the geometric constraints with the minimal conformational perturbation. The time required for the algorithm is linear in fragment length, and the resulting ability of the method to handle large loops makes it especially applicable to the modeling of homologous proteins. In most cases, hundreds of acceptable structures could be generated in a few hours on a VAX 11/780. Where van der Waals screening against fixed atoms need not be performed, as for isolated ring molecules, generation times go down by an order of magnitude or more.

    Notes: Dynamic light-scattering measurements were carried out for collagen in acetate buffer (pH 4.8) extracted from lathyritic ratskin. The correlation functions were analyzed in terms of the semiflexibility of collagen molecules. The experimental Γ/K2 vs K2 relationship was compared with the theoretical one based on formulation including anisotropy in translational diffusion, chain flexibility, and the hydrodynamic interaction; Γ is the average decay rate and K is the magnitude of the momentum transfer vector. By using the model parameters evaluated from the Γ/K2 vs K2 relationship, a good agreement was obtained between profiles of theoretical and experimental correlation functions over the entire delay times. Detailed examinations of the dynamic light-scattering spectrum permitted us to conclude that a set of the contour length L of 300 nm and the Kuhn length γ-1 of 340 nm are much more probable than other sets of L and γ-1 that equally explain static quantities such as the radius of gyration. The results show that collagen molecules are well characterized by a wormlike chain model.

    Notes: We have studied the absorption bands of oxy- and carbonmonoxyhemoglobin in the wavelength range of 650-350 nm (visible and Soret bands) and in the temperature range of 300-20 K. The spectra in the whole temperature range have been successfully deconvoluted in terms of gaussian components. The analysis of the temperature dependence of the first and second moment of the bands enables us to compare dynamic properties of the heme group in oxy- and carbonmonoxyhemoglobin. The results of the analysis indicate that the “mean-effective” frequency of the nuclear motion coupled to the electronic transition responsible for the visible bands is higher in carbonmonoxy- than in oxyhemoglobin. The possible functional relevance of this finding is discussed.

    Notes: The allowed conformations of the μ-receptor-selective cyclic opioid peptide analog were determined using a grid search through the entire conformational space. Energy minimization of the 13-membered ring structure lacking the exocyclic Tyr1 residue and the Phe3 side chain using the molecular mechanics program Maximin resulted in only four low-energy conformations. These four ring structures served as templates for a further energy minimization study with the Tyr1 residue and Phe3 side chain added to the molecule. The results indicated that the Tyr1 and Phe3 side chains enjoy considerable orientational freedom, but nevertheless, only a limited number of low-energy side-chain configurations were found. The obtained low-energy conformers are discussed in relation to various proposed models of the bioactive conformation of enkephalins and morphiceptin.

    Notes: The conformational equilibria of seven methyl β-D-mannobioside conformers have been studied theoretically in five solvents. The structure of each individual conformer has been refined by the PCILO quantum-chemical method from the seven distinct low-energy regions determined from (Φ, Ψ) maps calculated by a potential function method. The stability of the conformers in dilute solution has been evaluated by using a method that consists of electrostatic, dispersion, and cavity terms. The calculated abundance of conformers depends on the solvent and results indicate that the preponderant conformer in the solution may not be the one adopted by mannobiose in the crystalline form. Based on the determined abundance of conformers, thermodynamically averaged nmr parameters, dipole moment, and linkage rotation have been calculated. The solvation behavior of methyl β-D-mannobioside is compared to those previously estimated for cellobiose and maltose.

    Notes: The nonspecific interaction of the mitogenic lectin Concanavalin A (Con A) with glycosyl-free liposomes of various composition has been investigated by microcalorimetric titration measurements. The results obtained show the following features of main interest: (1) the affinity constants (Ka) of the interaction of Con A with liposomal bilayers are in the order of magnitude 105-106M-1. The reaction enthalpies (ΔH) are positive, and small (approximately 0.1 KJ mol-1 lipid), compared to the free energy terms (-ΔG = 30-40 KJ mol-1 lipid). All lectin-lipid interactions are strongly entropy-controlled (ΔH/TΔS 〈 1.0). These thermodynamic features are characteristic for hydrophobic interaction processes. (2) The liposomal head-group charge does not significantly affect the lipid-affinity of Con A. Electrostatic forces thus appear to play a minor role in lectin-lipid interactions. (3) The lipid affinity of Con A is sensitive to the fluidity of the liposomal bilayers, increasing with increasing fluidity. Below the gel to liquid-crystal phase transition temperature, the lectin binding to liposomal bilayers is inhibited. (4) The binding isotherms, corresponding to the interaction of Con A with liposomes, composed of tightly packed, saturated phospholipids, exhibit pronounced positive cooperativity. This phenomenon is absent in the binding curves, corresponding to the interaction of Con A with more fluid liposomal bilayers. (5) The Con A specific inhibitor α-D-methylmannopyranoside (50 mM) drastically increases the molar reaction enthalpy. The Ka term is significantly reduced in presence of the inhibitor sugar. Urea induces analogous changes in the thermodynamic parameters of the lectin-lipid interaction. The effects of α-D-methylmannopyranoside are thus not Con A specific, but are attributable to solvent effects. (6) It was shown that the binding of one Con A molecule affects a large number (approximately 1000) of phospholipid molecules in the liposomal bilayer. (7) The affinity constants (Ka) of the interaction of Con A with glycosyl-free lipids are smaller by a factor of approximately 10, compared to the Ka terms, reported for Con A binding to biological membranes. The presence of glycosidic receptor groups thus controls the specificity of lectin-membrane interactions, whereas the nonspecific lectin-lipid interactions appear to represent the main driving force for the strong attachment of the lectin to membrane surfaces.

    Notes: In this paper, we derive the general forms of the equations required to extract thermodynamic data from equilibrium transition curves on oligomeric and polymeric nucleic acids of any molecularity. Significantly, since the equations and protocols are general, they also can be used to characterize thermodynamically equilibrium processes in systems other than nucleic acids. We briefly review how the reduced forms of the general equations have been used by many investigators to evaluate mono- and bimolecular transitions, and then explain how these equations can be generalized to calculate thermodynamic parameters from common experimental observables for transitions of higher molecularities. We emphasize the strengths and weaknesses of each method of data analysis so that investigators can select the approach most appropriate for their experimental circumstances. We also describe how to analyze calorimetric heat capacity curves and noncalorimetric differentiated melting curves so as to extract both model-independent and model-dependent thermodynamic data for transitions of any molecularity. The general equations and methods of analysis described in this paper should be of particular interest to laboratories that currently are investigating association and dissociation processes in nucleic acids that exhibit molecularities greater than two.

    Notes: We report the solid-phase synthesis and conformational analysis of a 14-membered, cyclic enkephalin analog, H—Tyr—c[—D—A2bu—Gly—Phe—D—Leu—] (where A2bu represents α,γ-diaminobutyric acid). The results from the guinea pig ileum (GPI) and mouse vas deferens (MVD) assays show that the analog, though active, has little selectivity for the μ or δ opioid receptors. Conformational analysis is carried out using 1H-nmr and computer simulations, including molecular dynamics and energy minimizations. The results obtained here are compared with the findings of our studies carried out on the μ-receptor-selective diastereomer, H—Tyr—c[—D—A2bu—Gly—Phe—Leu—] [N. Mammi, M. Hassan, and M. Goodman (1985) J. Am. Chem. Soc. 107, 4008-4013]. This comparison allows for insight into the regiospecificity of these cyclic enkephalin analogs.

    Notes: Plasma fibronectin is a 450-kD glycoprotein composed of two similar subunits connected by interchain disulfide bridges that may fold over in solution, allowing the amino terminus of each chain to bind the carboxyl terminus of the same subunit or a different subunit, thereby allowing polymerization. In order to study the characteristics of the fold-over interaction, the interaction between the amino terminal 29-kD fragment of fibronectin with native fibronectin has been studied in detail. One 29-kD molecule bound per fibronectin subunit, the apparent equilibrium dissociation constant was 40 nM, and the half-times for association and dissociation at 22°C were, respectively, 16 h and 23 days. Complexation could be inhibited by high concentrations of salt, but not by 8M urea. Amino terminal 20-kD and carboxyl terminal 8-kD subfragments of the 29-kD fragment also bound fibronectin and the activity was dependent on the integrity of the type 1 loop structures. The kinetics of the interaction of 29-kD fragment with fibronectin were unaffected by the presence of ligands, but were affected by detergents such as sodium dodecyl sulfate or deoxycholate, which enhanced the rate of interaction over 100-fold or 6-fold, respectively. Therefore, the interaction of fibronectin with ionic cell membrane components such as deoxycholate in vivo may trigger polymerization.

    Notes: Synthesis, spectroscopy, and computer simulations are used in an integrated approach to elucidate secondary structure of oligopeptides. Three lactam-bridge peptides were synthesized and examined. One of these model compounds was shown to prefer a β-turn conformation, as indicated by spectroscopy (CD and nmr), and by computer simulations of minimum potential energy and of molecular dynamics. Partial retro-inverso cyclic analogs of enkephalin were also synthesized and investigated. Biological activity studies of the analogs indicated that the Gly3 carbonyl group and the side-chain orientation of the L-Leu5 residue are important. Hydrogen-bonding patterns for the three analogs are described in terms of the spectroscopic evidence correlated to the molecular dynamics simulations.

    Notes: The multiple-minima problem is the most formidable in the conformational analysis of polypeptides. Several approaches have been developed to surmount this problem, and we present an additional one here that may possibly be extendable to very large polypeptides. In this new approach, designated the Self-Consistent Electric Field (SCEF) method, we calculate the electric field, due to the whole molecule, at each CO and NH group of the peptide units, and also in the middle of the C′N peptide bonds, for an arbitrary starting conformation. It is assumed that the native conformation has approximately optimal orientations of its group dipoles in the electric field. The direction of the electric field with respect to the CO and NH bond dipole moments provides information as to which peptide units are the worst oriented. We then compute the changes in the backbone dihedral angles φ and ψ required to align the most unfavorably oriented peptide-unit dipole moments along the electric field. After carrying out such alignment of dipoles, a complete potential energy function is used in a minimization procedure to locate the nearest local minimum. The SCEF and energy-minimization procedures are then applied iteratively to try to locate the global minimum. The effectiveness of this method is illustrated by computations on very different starting conformations of terminally blocked 19-residue chains of poly(L-alanine), for which the global minimum is judged to be the right-handed α-helix.

    Notes: The nature of the local main-chain conformation of polypeptides with charged side chains has been the subject of considerable discussion since Tiffany and Krimm first proposed [(1968) Biopolymers 6, 1379-1381] that, rather than being random, the chain is locally relatively regular, with conformations similar to that of a left-handed threefold helix. Such structures, referred to as “extended-helix” (EH) conformations, have now been studied in a charged poly(L-glutamic acid) system by a combination of Raman spectroscopy and normal-mode analysis. Calculations were done for EH conformations with 3.0 and 2.4 residues/turn, using force fields refined for α-helix, 31-helix, and β-sheet structures. Together with previous results on the α-helix and β-sheet forms, an interesting new correlation emerged: the frequency of the CαC stretch skeletal mode, usually found in the 900-1000 cm-1 region of the Raman spectrum, is essentially linearly correlated with the value of the φ angle. Applying this relationship to the observed frequencies of the α-helix and β-sheet forms of poly(L-glutamic acid), we find that an observed sharp band in the spectrum of crystals of the calcium salt of poly(L-glutamic acid) (which is close to the frequency observed for the charged form in solution) corresponds to an EH conformation very close to that predicted from energy calculations. These studies thus provide very strong support for our proposal that charged polypeptide chains are not random but adopt local conformations of the EH type.

    Notes: The time course of a noise signal is not completely random, since it is coupled to the characteristic dynamical behavior of the physical system that produces the noise. The statistical properties of the noise may thus be very informative about the properties of the noise-generating system. The use of the autocorrelation function, of modified autocorrelation functions that show directionality with respect to the time axis, and of probability density-distribution functions of intervals in noise traces are discussed. Thus, by labeling specific points on polymer chain molecules by suitable chormophores between which excitation energy transfer may occur and by analyzing the autocorrelation function of the fluctuations in the emitted fluorescence under steady illumination, one may characterize the internal dynamics of the polymer molecules. It is also shown that the presence or absence of time directionality in noise traces, as tested with the help of some of the above-mentioned statistical functions, may demonstrate whether the noise-generating system is at thermodynamic equilibrium or whether irreversible processes are coupled to the dynamic changes that produce the noise signals.

    Notes: Salt-promoted adsorption of proteins occurs on hydrophobic gels, on immobilized metal ions e.g., Zn2+, Co2+, Ni2+, Cu2+, and on newly described absorbents provisionally called “thiophilic gels.” The latter gels are characterized by the ligand structure —SO2—CH2—CH2—S—R. In a simple form (R = —CH2—CH2—OH) the “T-gel” is extremely useful for rapid isolation of immunoglobulins from complex mixtures. When R is rich in π-electrons the thiophilic affinity will be superimposed by charge-transfer coupling with hitherto unknown counterligands in interacting proteins. The use of tandem and cascade processes for protein fractionation according to several more or less independent separation parameters is briefly demonstrated.

    Notes: Microbial polysaccharides have become significant industrial products in recent years, primarily because of their high molecular weight and unique rheological properties. More recently, a new class of microbial biopolymer has been developed - namely, the exopolysaccharide bioemulsifiers. The best studied of this class of biopolymer is the capsular anionic polysaccharide of the oil-degrading bacterium Acinetobacter calcoaceticus RAG-1, emulsan. The emulsan polymer (MW, 106) consists of D-galacatosamine, D-galactosamine uronic acid (pKa, 3.01), and a diamino deoxyhexosamine. The amphipathic properties of emulsan are due in part to the presence of fatty acids linked to the polysaccharide backbone in both ester and amide linkages. Emulsan is characterized by a very high affinity for the oil/water interface, and its major industrial application is in the stabilization of oil-in-water emulsions at very low concentrations (emulsan : oil, 1 : 1000). This interfacial binding is accompanied by a conformational change in the polymer, which in turn allows for the concentration of normally water-soluble cations, proteins, and even phages in the oil layer after emulsion separation. Emulsan is now a commercial product produced by fermentation on an industrial scale. Two major applications are likely to involve its ability to stabilize heavy oil-in-water emulsions for (1) transportation in pipelines of high-viscosity oils at lower temperatures and (2) upgrading of high-viscosity fuels so that the homogeneous oil/water emulsions can be burned directly without water removal. Both applications have been tested on a semi-industrial scale and their feasibility has been demonstrated.

    Notes: The conformational energetics of the tetranucleoside triphosphates d(ApApApA), d(GpGpGpG), d(CpCpCpC), d(TpTpTpT), ApApApA, GpGpGpG, CpCpCpC, and UpUpUpU are thoroughly examined using a classical potential energy function. The sugar modeling method and multiple correlation functions derived in previous papers of this series are utilized in these examinations. The data are analyzed and compared in terms of the energy profiles for rotation about the conformation-determining torsion angles in the tetramers. Overall, the predictions are in reasonable qualitative agreement with the existing experimental data. It is found that the base type does not greatly affect the locations of the important minima in these profiles, but rather exerts a large influence on the relative depths of the minima and the barriers to conversion between them. Conformational sequence dependence is manifest to a greater extent by the DNA tetramers than the RNA tetramers. Of the DNA tetramers, d(CpCpCpC) appears, from the results presented herein, to have the greatest potential for polymorphism. This and other findings are analyzed in terms of the preferences of particular DNA sequences for either the A-, B-, or Z-conformation.

    Notes: A simple graphical method for calculating stoichiometric and site binding constants for systems with two initially equivalent interacting sites is derived from a modified Scatchard equation. The binding constants can be calculated from Scatchard plots (r/[A] as a function of r) using the values of r/[A] (r is the molar ratio of bound ligands to total protein and [A] is the equilibrium concentration of free ligand) when r = 0 and r = 1 (half-saturation). The applicability of the method to the adsorption of bilirubin by peptide pendants immobilized on a polyacrylamide support is demonstrated.

    Notes: The statistical mechanical theory for the helix-to-random-coil transition in two-chain coiled coils is applied to extant data for two synthetic coiled-coil polypeptides. These peptides have the primary structure K(LEALEGK)n, in which n = 4, 5. This repeating heptet sequence mimics the pattern of hydrophobic, acidic, and basic residues characteristic of the 284-residue tropomyosin molecule, the prototypical coiled-coil protein. Theoretical calculations for single chains show that such model peptides cannot be directly compared to proteins like tropomyosin because of differences in chain length (29 and 36 residues vs 284) and in intrachain interactions, the latter caused by the differences in amino acid composition and seqeunce between protein and model. Application of the theory to extant data on the two synthetic peptides provides a semiquantitative fit and results in an assessment of the interhelix interaction in the model peptides. The value obtained, ∼ 2000 cal · (mol of turn pairs)-1, is four to five times larger than has been obtained for tropomyosin. This probably is a result of greater regularity in the structure of the synthetics and of the exclusive presence of leucine in the hydrophobic interface. The theory employed here insists that this powerful interhelix interaction in the synthetic is the principal reason that such short chains can be so highly helical at moderate and low temperatures. Theory predicts, indeed, that a tropomyosin-length chain with a sequence homologous to these synthetics would be completely thermally stable in the entire temperature range accessible in aqueous solutions. Theory also predicts a much more pronounced effect of concentration on the 29- and 36-residue synthetic polymers than is predicted or observed in the case of tropomyosin, and it also predicts a pronounced stabilizing effect of pH-reduction on the thermal curves. On the last two points, sufficient data are not yet available with which to test the theory.

    Notes: A cyclic peptide analogue of somatostatin, including the o-aminomethylphenylacetic acid spacer, was studied by the combined use of two-dimensional nmr spectroscopy, distance geometry, and restrained molecular dynamics. Analysis of distances determined from nuclear Overhauser effect (NOE) buildup rates revealed that these were inconsistent with a unique backbone conformation near the spacer. Assuming that the conformational heterogeneity is localized to the spacer, the NOE distances measured for the remaining part of the molecule were used to generate a large number of structures with the distance geometry algorithm, which were then refined by restrained energy minimization. Four classes of structures emerged, which together account for all observed NOEs. A representative structure of each class was further refined with the restrained molecular dynamics technique, and shown to be stable on a 20-ps time scale. The flexibility of the spacer was examined by simulating interconversions induced by an appropriate restraining potential. As a result, the explanation for the lack of somatostatin activity of the analogue studied was reconsidered.

    Notes: A semiempirical theory of saccharide optical activity indicates that the dominant source of NaD rotation is a vacuum-uv CD band near 150 nm, a band observed experimentally in polysaccharide film CD spectra. The model is a modification of polarizability theory in which high-energy electronic excitations are coupled by degenerate perturbation theory, giving rise to “molecular excitons.” The existence of an excitation mode well separated in energy from even higher energy modes arises from the local symmetry of tetrahedral carbon atoms in a puckered ring structure. Calculated NaD rotations correlate well with experimental values.

    Notes: It is demonstrated that protein α-helix content can be predicted from an autocorrelation analysis of the protein hydrophobicity sequence. The Fourier transform of the autocorrelation function yields the spectral densities or weights of the various frequencies contributing to the autocorrelation function. Using sequence and secondary structure data from more than 160 proteins and domains, a linear relationship was found between spectral density at periodicity 3.7 and protein α-helix content (r = 0.83). This relation permits prediction of the helix content (x) of proteins of known sequence to within ± 15%, i.e., as (x ± 15)%. Predictions based on the autocorrelation procedure are compared with values obtained by other methods.

    Notes: Evidence for a helical contribution to the conformation of methylcellulose in dilute solution is given by CD measurements. Congo red binds to methylcellulose in dilute aqueous solution and becomes optically active. The shape of the induced CD spectra is as predicted by exciton coupling for a helical arrangement of chromophores. The magnitude of the induced CD changes reversibly with temperature, decreasing upon heating. The dimer analogue of the polymer, prepared by acid methanolysis, does not show this effect. These observations suggest that the induced optical activity reflects the conformational dissymmetry of the polymer. Analogous experiments with the cellulose oligomers (cellotriose through cellohexaose) show that five anhydroglucose units are necessary before asymmetry is induced upon dye binding.

    Notes: Polarized Raman spectra have been obtained from single microcrystals of the duplex of the decamer d(A5T5)2 using a Raman microscope. This is the first report of Raman spectra from a crystal of a deoxyoligomer that contains only long, nonalternating sequences of adenine and thymine. Sequences containing d(A)n and d(T)n are of interest in view of recent suggestions that they induce bends in DNA and that they might exist in a nonstandard B-conformation. Polarized Raman spectra of a crystal of d(pTpT) have also been obtained. Both crystals display Raman bands whose intensities are very sensitive to the orientation of the crystal with respect to the direction of polarization of the incident laser beam. These spectra indicate that the helical axes of the oligonucleotides are parallel to the long axes of the crystals and that the d(A5T5)2 is not appreciably bent in the crystal. The Raman spectrum from the d(pTpT) crystal indicates that all of the furanose ring puckers are in a C2′-endo configuration since only the C2′-endo marker band at 835 ± 5 cm-1 is present. Crystals of d(A5T5)2 show measurable Raman intensities in both the 838- and 816-cm-1 bands. This indicates the presence of both the C2′-endo and C3′-endo, or possibly other non-C2′-endo, furanose conformations. The 816-cm-1 band is weak so that only a small fraction of the residues are estimated to be in the non-C2′-endo conformation. In both the d(pTpT) and d(A5T5)2 crystals the intensity of the bands due to vibrations of the backbone show only a small dependence on orientation of the crystals. This result is explained by the low symmetry of the puckered sugar rings. It is concluded that Raman spectra obtained from oligonucleotide crystals in which the orientation of the crystal axes to the laser polarization is not carefully controlled may contain intensity artifacts that are due to polarization effects.

    Notes: On the basis of a harmonic dynamics calculation, it is shown that in the 800-500-cm-1 spectral region of DNA vibrational spectra, the characteristic Raman peaks and ir bands do not arise from the same nucleosidic motions. The Raman spectra involve mainly the ring-breathing modes of nucleic bases while the ir spectra reveal essentially their out-of-plane vibrations. Moreover, the calculated results show the splitting of the guanine- and adenine-residue breathing modes upon their coupling with the sugar-pucker motions. This fact is in agreement with the poly[d(G-C)] and poly[d(A-T)] Raman spectra.

    Notes: Two-dimensional 1H-nmr spectra of the α-mating factor [in dimethyl sulfoxide-d6 (DMSO) and in water] and several dodecapeptide analogues (in DMSO) were obtained. Homonuclear correlated spectroscopy resulted in the complete and unequivocal assignment of all backbone and side-chain resonances of the peptides. The solution conformation of the pheromones was probed using two-dimensional (2D) nuclear Overhauser effect spectroscopy (NOESY) and rotating frame nuclear Overhauer effect spectroscopy (ROESY). The 2D NOE results, and results of complementary one-dimensional experiments, suggest that a type II β-turn is assumed by the central portion of active pheromones in both DMSO and water. Inactive analogues of the α-factor do not exhibit this structural feature. Except for this one β-turn, the nmr parameters for α-factor are indicative of a conformationally flexible molecule in both solvents. This conclusion is in contrast to that of other researchers who have proposed a highly structured conformation of α-factor in aqueous solution.

    Notes: An extensive series of experiments has been performed to study the mobility of DNA fragments ranging in size from 2.0 to 48.5 kilobose pairs. By varying the agarose concentration in the gels and the electric field strength, three DNA electrophoresis regimes were clearly identified: the Ogston regime (small DNA fragments in large pores of agarose), the reptation regime without DNA chain stretching (small pores of agarose and weak electric fields), and the reptation regime with DNA chain stretching (small pores of agarose, strong electric fields, and large DNA fragments). Here we report on the experimental identification of these regimes and on the conditions governing the transition between each of them. The onset of reptation and of stretching of DNA chains in gel electrophoresis are described quantitatively for the first time, and a phase diagram for the dynamics of DNA during electrophoresis is presented.

    Notes: Several amino terminal fragments of the emerimicins (Ac-Phe1-Aib2-Aib3-Aib4-Val5-Gly6-Leu7-Aib8-Aib9-Hyp10-Gln11-D-Iva12-Hyp13-Ala/Aib14-Phol15) ranging in length from five to ten residues have been synthesized. Nuclear magnetic resonance studies have been carried out on the 1-5, 6-10, 1-6, 1-7, 1-8, 1-9, and 1-10 fragments. The number of solvent-shielded NH groups in CDCl3 solutions for 1-5, 1-6, 1-7, 1-8, 1-9, and 1-10 indicate that 310-helical structures are favored in this solvent. In (CD3)2SO, an additional NH group, assigned to Aib(3) NH is solvent exposed in the fragments longer than six residues, suggesting partial unfolding of the N-terminal β-turn or transition to an α-helical conformation. The data for fragment 6-10 are consistent with a conformation having a single Leu-Aib β-turn. Infrared studies suggest an increase in the number of intramolecular hydrogen bonds with increasing peptide chain length. Appreciable mitochondrial uncoupling activity is observed for peptides with a chain length of at least seven residues. The order of efficiencies of the fragments is 1-7 〈 1-8 ∼ 1-10 〈 1-9, with the decapeptide exhibiting anomalously low uncoupling activity.
