    Description / Table of Contents: In this part properties and efficiency of the developed model1,2 are discussed. A variation of the parameters shows that vigorous effects are caused by the effective aggregation. All calculations show that at low conversion there are little temporal steps between the sequential aggregation steps. In the range of 5% to 20% conversion the velocity of aggregation decreases and the aggregative stability agrees with experiences given in the literature. It is shown that the calculated results are in agreement with the experimental results and therefore the presented model is a suitable possibility to describe the formation of some PVC-morphology properties.
    Notes: In der vorliegenden Arbeit werden die Eigenschaften des früher1,2 entwickelten Modells untersucht und diskutiert. Die Variation der Modellparameter zeigt einen großen Einfluß der Aggregationsprozesse auf die Subkornmorphologie. Bei niedrigen Monomerumsätzen ist das Zeitintervall zwischen zwei aufeinanderfolgenden Aggregationsschritten sehr klein, so daß für das Teilchenwachstum die Geschwindigkeit der Aggregation der Unterstrukturen entscheidend ist. Im Bereich zwischen 5% und 20% Monomerumsatz sinkt die Aggregationsgeschwindigkeit sehr stark, so daß für das Teilchenwachstum zunehmend die Polymerisationsreaktion an Bedeutung gewinnt. Aggregative Stabilität wird nach dem Modell für einen Teilchengrößenbereich erhalten, der sich in Übereinstimmung mit experimentellen Daten aus der Fachliteratur befindet. Die berechneten Teilchengrößen entsprechen ebenfalls den in der Literatur publizierten experimentellen Werten, so daß das Modell eine gute Grundlage für die Beschreibung einiger morphologisch bestimmter Polymereigenschaften bildet.

    Description / Table of Contents: Es wurden unidirektionale Verbundwerkstoffe aus Novolakharz mit Kohlenstoff-Fasern gemäß der Prepreg-Methode verarbeitet. Das Novolakharz wurde durch Polymerisation von Phenol mit Formaldehyd (Mol-Verhältnis 1 : 0,82) und Oxalsäure als Katalysator (1,5 Gew.-% von Phenol) hergestellt. Die Härtung des Novolakharzes wurde mit Hexamethylentetramin (Hexa) durchgeführt, während das geeignete Verhältnis durch die IR-Spektroskopie bestimmt wurde.Es wurden Proben aus Novolak/Hexa (Gew.-Verhältnis 14: 1), verstärkt mit kommerziellen Kohlenstoff-Fasern, unter verschiedenen Bedingungen (z. B. verschiedene thermische Programme und verschiedene Verhältnisse von Novolakharz : Kohlenstoff-Fasern) hergestellt. Die mechanischen Eigenschaften der hergestellten Proben (wie Biegefestigkeit, Zugfestigkeit, usw.) wurden bestimmt, und ihre Struktur wurde mit Hilfe der Elektronenmikroskopie untersucht.Mit zunehmendem Volumenverhältnis der Kohlenstoff-Fasern werden nicht nur alle mechanischen Eigenschaften des verstärkten Materials verbessert, sondern auch sein Nutzungsgrad nimmt zu, und die Herstellungsbedingungen üben einen größeren Einfluß aus. Die mit dem gleichen Verhältnis von Kohlenstoff-Fasern (z. B. 15 Vol.-%) hergestellten Proben weisen mit zunehmendem Härtungsgrad des Novolaks verbesserte mechanische Eigenschaften auf. Der Häirtungsgrad des Novolaks während der Anfangsphase (Gel-Zeit) als auch während der Endphase (Nachhärtung) kann mit Hilfe der IR-Spektren des härtenden Novolaks verfolgt werden, während der Härtungsgrad der Zwischenphase nur indirekt aus den Werten der mechanischen Eigenschaften der entsprechenden Proben bestimmt werden kann.Aus der Korrelation zwischen den Herstellungsparametern und den mechanischen Eigenschaften der Proben ergeben sich optimale Bedingungen für die Verarbeitung in der Wärmepresse zur Herstellung von mit Kohlenstoff-Fasern verstärkten Novolakharzen (1. Phase: T1 = 125-145°C, t1 = 20 min - 1 h, ohne Druck; 2. Phase: T2 = 180-195°C, t2 = 40 min, P2 ≃ 1,5 kN /cm2).
    Notes: Unidirectional composite materials of novolac resin with carbon fibers were fabricated according to the prepreg method. Novolac resin was prepared by polymerization of phenol with formaldehyde (mole ratio 1 : 0.82) in the presence of oxalic acid as catalyst (1.5 wt.-% to phenol). The curing of novolac resin was performed with hexamethylenetetramine (hexa), while the appropriate proportion was determined by using the IR-spectroscopy.Specimens of novolac/hexa (weight ratio 14:1) reinforced with carbon fibers commercially available were fabricated under different conditions (e.g. different thermal programs and different proportions of novolac/carbon fibers). The mechanical properties of the fabricated specimens (like flexural strength, tensile strength, etc.) were determined and their structure was examined by scanning electron microscopy.By increasing the volume proportion of carbon fibers, not only all mechanical properties of the composite material were increased, but also their degree of utilization was increased and also the production conditions had greater influence. Concerning the specimens produced by the same proportion of carbon fibers (e.g. 15 vol.-%) their mechanical properties were improved by increasing the curing of novolac. The degree of curing of novolac during the initial phase (gel time) and during the ultimate phase (post-curing) can be followed with the aid of IR-spectra of the cured resin, while the degree of curing for the intermediate phase can be obtained only indirectly from the values of the mechanical properties of the corresponding specimens.From the correlation between the production parameters and the mechanical properties of the samples the optimal conditions for processing of the thermopress for the manufacture of carbon fiber reinforced novolac were concluded (1. phase: T1 = 125-145°C, t1 = 20 min - 1 h, without pressure; 2. phase: T2 = 180-195°C, t2 = 40 min, P2 ≃ 1,5 kN/cm2).

    Description / Table of Contents: In dieser Arbeit interessieren wir uns für den Einfluß von Konzentration und Temperatur auf den elektrischen Widerstand eines Butyl-Kautschuks (IIR), der mit zwei Typen von Ruß (Hoch-Abrasion-Schmelzofen-Ruß (HAF) und Schnell-Extrusion-Hochofen-Ruß (FEF)) versetzt ist. Ergebnis war, daß die Leitfähigkeit bei niedrigem Rußgehalt hauptsächlich durch thermische Aktivierung der Ladungsträger erreicht wird. Bei mittleren Konzentrationen überwiegt der Tunnel-Mechanismus bei niedriger Temperatur, gefolgt von der thermischen Aktivierung bei relativ hoher Temperatur. Dies gilt für beide Rußarten. Das metallartige Verhalten bei Gemischen mit hoher Rußkonzentration kann sowohl der thermischen Ausdehnung der Tunnelwege zwischen Kohlenstoff-Agglomeraten als auch dem Zusammenbruch der Kohlenstoff-Agglomerate bei steigender Temperatur zugeschrieben werden.
    Notes: In this study we are interested in the effect of concentration and temperature on the electrical resistivity of butyl rubber (IIR) loaded with two types of carbon black, (namely, high abrasion furnace black (HAF), and fast extrusion furnace black (FEF)). It was found that the conductivity at low carbon black concentrations is mainly achieved by thermal activation of carriers. Tunneling mechanism at low termperature followed by thermal activation at relatively high temperature is found to be predominant for moderate concentrations for both carbon blacks. The metal-like behaviour which was observed in highly loaded compounds was attributed to both, the thermal expansion of the tunneling paths between carbon-carbon agglomerates and the breakdown of carbon agglomerates with temperature.

    Description / Table of Contents: Die Arbeit beschreibt die Synthese von Halogenderivaten des Phenylglycidylethers und die Möglichkeiten der Verwendung von diesen Komponenten als Flammverzögerer und reaktive Verdünnungsmittel für Epoxidharze.Mit Hilfe der Nelder-Mead-Simplexmethode wurden die besten Reaktionsbedingungen gefunden. Die so hergestellten Produkte zeichnen sich durch eine hohe Qualität aus und wurden mit einem niedermolekularen Epoxidharz gemischt und mit Diaminodiphenylmethan gehärtet.Die Viskosität von Harzgemischen und die Brennbarkeit der gehärteten Systeme wurden untersucht. Mit dem erhöhten Gehalt an Halogen (Chlor oder Brom) steigt die Viskosität, und die Brennbarkeit der Epoxide wird reduziert.
    Notes: This study deals with the synthesis of halogenated derivatives of phenyl glycidyl ether and with possibilities of their use as flame retardants and reactive diluents of epoxy resin.The best reaction conditions optimized by Nelder-Mead simplex method were found. The products of very high quality were prepared. They were mixed with a lowmolecular epoxy resin and cured by diamino diphenyl methane.The viscosity of the resin mixtures and limiting oxygen index of cured systems were determined. It was found that a higher content of halogen, both chlorine and bromine, causes increasing viscosity and reduced flammability of the epoxides.

    Description / Table of Contents: Durch Messungen von Tg, Tm und Tc (Trübungspunkt) wurden Phasendiagramme der vier verträglichen Polymermischungen von chlorierten isotaktischen Polypropylenen (Chlorgehalt 39,2 (CPP-40) und 49,8 Gew.-% (CPP-50)) mit Poly(ethylen-co-vinylacetat)en (Vinylacetatgehalt 40 (EVA-40) und 45 Gew.-% (EVA-45)) untersucht. Von den vier Mischungspaaren war die Mischung von CPP-50 mit EVA-40 am besten verträglich.

The blend of CPP-50 with EVA-40 was the most compatible of the four blend pairs.

    Description / Table of Contents: Die Synthese und Charakterisierung von Kationenaustauschmembranen aus PE-PS-DVB-Interpolymeren für die Elektrolyse von Borax-Lösung zur Erzeugung von Borsäure und Natronlauge wurden durchgeführt und mit den Eigenschaften von im Handel erhältlichen Membranen („Nafion 324“ und „Permaplex C-20“) verglichen.
    Notes: The synthesis and the characterization of the PE-PS-DVB interpolymer cationexchange membranes in the electrolysis of borax solutions to produce boric acid and sodium hydroxide simultaneously was carried out. The characterization of the teflon based “Nafion 324” and polystyrene-DVB based “Permaplex C-20” membranes was also performed in the same system for comparison.The DVB contents were varied between 3 - 12% (by wt. in total monomers) and the increase of the cross-links resulted in the decrease of the water contents and ionexchange capacities of the membranes. The PE present in the membrane acted as a barrier for electroosmotic water transport. The membranes with high DVB contents showed better electrolysis performance due to their low water contents and low electroosmotic water transport properties. The use of the interpolymer membrane containing 11.6% DVB resulted in high current efficiency and high sodium cation dynamic transport number and worked satisfactorily at the process conditions of borax electrolysis.

    Description / Table of Contents: Aus Rizinusöl und difunktionellen Säuren, wie Oxal-, Malon-, Bernstein-, Glutar-, Adipin-, Suberin- und Sebacinsäure, wurden Prepolyester hergestellt. Diese Prepolyester (PPE) wurden anschließend mit Methylmethacrylat und 1% Ethylenglykoldimethacrylat als Vernetzer interpenetriert. Die Polymerisation wurde radikalisch mit Benzoylperoxid gestartet. Die neuen PPE/Polymethylmethacrylat (PMMA)-interpenetrierenden Netzwerke wurden als Pulver erhalten. Sie wurden durch ihr Löseverhalten, IR-Spektroskopie und ihr thermisches Verhalten charakterisiert.
    Notes: Prepolyesters were obtained from castor oil and dibasic acids, viz oxalic, malonic, succinic, glutaric, adipic, suberic and sebacic acid. These prepolyesters (PPE) were subsequently interpenetrated with methyl methacrylate containing 1% ethylene glycol dimethacrylate as crosslinker by radical polymerization initiated with benzoyl peroxide. The novel PPE poly(methyl methacrylate) PPE/PMMA interpenetrating polymer networks (IPNs) were obtained as powder. They were characterized by solubility behaviour, IR spectral study and thermal behaviour.

    Description / Table of Contents: 2,4-Ionen, ein polymeres quartäres Ammoniumsalz, wurde auf einem makroporösen chlormethylierten Poly(Styrol-co-Divinylbenzol)-Harz (XAD-2) immobilisiert. Der Ionen-Gehalt des Harzes, der durch CHN-Elementaranalyse bestimmt wurde, betrug 50,2 g/kg Harz. Der wichtigste Nebeneffekt des modifizierten Harzes, das Ausbluten des Katalysators 2,4-Ionen, kann durch eine spektrophotometrische Methode, die extrem geringe Konzentraionen an freiem Ionen an der Oberfläche des Harzes messen kann, ermittelt werden.Die Aktivität der immobilisierten 2,4-Ionen/Kobalt(II)-phthalocyanin-tetranatriumsulfonat-Komplexe in bezug auf die oxidative Kupplung von Thiolen ist viel niedriger als im homogenen Fall, aber noch beträchtlich höher als im polymerfreien System. Die beobachtete Abnahme der Reaktionsgeschwindigkeit resultiert nicht aus Behinderungen des Massentransports, sondern vorzugsweise aus den Katalysatoreigenschaften wie z. B. einem sehr niedrigen N+/Co-VerhtUtnis. Die aktiven Zentren scheinen nur in der äußeren Hiille der Harzpartikel vorhanden zu sein.
    Notes: A poly(quaternary ammonium) salt, 2,4-ionene, has been immobilized on a macroporous chloromethylated poly(styrene-divinylbenzene) resin (XAD-2). The ionene content of the resin, determined by CHN elemental analysis, was 50.2 g/kg resin. The most important side effect of the modified resin, catalyst (2,4-ionene) bleeding, can be detected by a spectrophotometric method capable of determining extremely low concentrations of free ionene in the supernatant of the resin.The activity of these immobilized 2,4-ionene/cobalt(II)phthalocyanine-tetrasodiumsulfonate (CoTSPc) complexes towards the oxidative coupling of thiols is much lower than in the homogeneous case, but still considerably higher than for the polymer free system. The observed decrease in reaction rate does not originate from the considerable mass transfer resistances but predominantly from catalyst properties like a very low local N+/Co ratio. The active sites appear to be present in the outer shell of the resin particles only.

    Description / Table of Contents: Röntgendiffraktometrische Untersuchungen und DSC-Messungen an Blend-Filmen, die aus Lösungen von PEEK und PES hergestellt wurden, zeigen eine Phasenseparation bei den Filmen, die bei 340°C hergestellt wurden. Das Kristallisationsverhalten von Filmen, die bei 340°C hergestellt, anschließend abgeschreckt und bei 180°C getempert wurden, ist identisch mit dem von PEEK. Filme, die bei 300°C hergestellt wurden, kristallisierten erst durch Tempern bei 250°C. Blockcopolymere, die aus Oligomeren von PEEK und PES erhalten wurden, unterscheiden sich in dieser Hinsicht von Blends der gleichen Zusammensetzung. Die Glastemperatur von Copolymeren mit einem PEEK-Gehalt von mehr als 50% liegt höher als die von PEEK selbst, während der Schmelzpunkt dieser Copolymeren niedriger als der von PEEK ist.
    Notes: Polymer blends of PEEK with PES were prepared by the solution blending method. Copolymers composed of PEEK and PES components were synthesized from these oligomers. The formation conditions exerted an influence over the molecular aggregation and the crystallization behaviors of the blend films and block copolymers which were examined by X-ray diffractometry and DSC analysis. As a result, phase-separation in the blend films was found when the formation temperature was high. The blend films formed at 340°C, quenched and annealed at 180°C, exhibited the same crystallization behavior as those of PEEK. In the case of the blend films formed at 300°C, the annealing of the films at 250°C was required to crystallize the blend films. The Tg of a copolymer with a PEEK component content of more than 50% tends to shift toward a higher temperature than the Tg of PEEK itself, and the Tm of the copolymer toward a lower temperature than that of PEEK ist.

    Description / Table of Contents: Entgegengesetzte Ladungen wurden durch tertiäre Amin- und Carboxylgruppen in Polyurethan (PU) und Polystyrol (PS) eingeführt, um durch gemeinsame Massepolymerisation ein interpenetrierendes PU/PS Polymernetzwerk (IPN) zu erhalten. Vier IPNs wurden hergestellt: ein Voll-IPN, zwei Semi-IPNs und ein lineares Blend. Die Wirkung der geladenen Gruppen auf die mechanischen Eigenschaften und die Morphologie der vier Polymermischungen wurde untersucht.Es wurde gefunden, daß PU/PS IPNs mit geladenen Gruppen keine Phasenseparation und somit homogene Verteilung aufweisen, was durch elektronenmikroskopische (SEM) Aufnahmen nachgewiesen wurde. Dynamisch-mechanische Messungen zeigen, daß die Übergangspeaks des Verlust-Moduls E″ in die Mitte zwischen den beiden Übergangspeaks der beiden Komponenten ohne geladene Gruppen liegen. Dies ist von der Zunahme des Gehaltes an geladenen Gruppen abhängig. Gleichzeitig nimmt der Speichermodul E′ in einer Stufe ab, was im Gegensatz zu der zweistufigen Abnahme bei Proben ohne Ladungsträger steht.Die Zugfestigkeit nimmt in allen vier Polymermischungen mit der Zunahme an Acrylsäure (AA) in Poly(Styrol-Acrylsäue) PSAA zu, was in dem PU/PSAA Voll-IPN besonders deutlich wird.
    Notes: Opposite charges, namely tertiary amine and carboxyl groups, were introduced into polyurethane (PU) and polystyrene (PS), respectively, to prepare PU/PS interpenetrating polymer networks (IPNs) by means of simultaneous bulk polymerization. Four IPNs were synthesized: a full-IPN, two semi-IPNs and a linear blend. The effect of charge groups on the mechanical properties and morphology of the four polymer alloys was investigated.It is found that the PU/PS IPN which was incorporated with charge groups is free of any phase-separation, and sufficiently uniformly distributed, as can be seen from the corresponding scanning electron microscopy (SEM) photographs. Dynamic mechanical analysis indicates that the transition peak of the loss modulus E″ will move towards the centre between the two transition peaks of both components in the absence of charge groups, as a function of an increase in the contents of the opposite charge groups. Meanwhile the storage modulus E′ will decrease in a single-stage way from the previous two-stage mode.The tensile strength in all the four polymer alloys increased markedly along with an increase in the contents of acrylic acid (AA) in the poly(styrene-acrylic acid) (PSAA), which clearly can be seen for the PU/PSAA full-IPN.

    Description / Table of Contents: Pyrolysis behaviour and coke characteristics of different precursors for carbon processing: thermosetting resins (resol, novolak), hydrolytic lignin, pitch, tar as well as their blends were studied using differential thermal analysis (DTA) and X-ray diffraction techniques. The blends novolak-pitch, resol-tar and resol-hydrolytic lignin show a higher coke yield after carbonisation up to 1000°C compared to the corresponding individual substances. A good correlation between the integral procedural decomposition temperature T*A of the investigated precursors and their coke yield is found.
    Notes: Mittels Thermo- und Röntgenstrukturanalyse wird eine vergleichende Untersuchung des Pyrolysevorganges und der Mikrostruktur des aus zwei Gruppen organischer Bindemittel und deren Mischungen gewonnenen Koksrückstandes durchgeführt. Gruppe I umfaßt reine und mit Hydrolyselignin gefüllte Resol- und Novolak-Phenol-Formaldehydharze und Gruppe II Steinkohlenpech und -teer. Es wird festgestellt, daß sich die Mischungen Novolakharz-Pech, Resolharz-Teer und Resolharz-Hydrolyselignin beim Erhitzen nicht wie mechanische Gemische verhalten und eine erhöhte Ausbeute an Koksrückstand liefern. Weiterhin wird gefunden, daß die integrale Endtemperatur der Pyrolyse (T*A) dieser Substanzen als quantitatives Maß für die Ausbeute an Koksrückstand im Anschluß an die Carbonisierung der Proben dienen kann.

    Notes: The paper describes the successful synthesis of silicon containing bismaleimide resin 4,4′-carbo(4,4′-bismaleimido phenoxy)diphenyl silane. The char yield of the bismaleimide resin in N2 atmosphere was found to be 55% at 800°C. Chain extension of bismaleimide with 4,4′-diamino diphenyl sulfone reduced the char yield and thermal stability.

    Description / Table of Contents: As hard blocks in polyether block amides, polyamides are used whose length is intensively regulated by dicarboxylic acids. Since, with regard to melting and crystallization behaviour, this acid constitutes an interfering structural unit in the chain, and in the case of a completely converted product each chain contains one acid molecule, it is essential to know where in the chain incorporation will occur. As opposed to monofunctional chain regulators which always form a chain end, a bifunctional chain regulator can a priori also be randomly incorporated into the inner part of the chain. This leads to a far greater interference than occurs if the chain regulator molecule and the chain end, which acts as an interfering unit in any case, coincide with each other.By means of adipic acid-regulated oligoamides based on lauryl lactam, the incorporation of the chain regulator was examined by NMR spectroscopy and compared with model calculations. This resulted in a close match only if it was presupposed that the incorporation was carried out randomly with the same degree of probability at any point whatsoever between two lauryl lactam structural units or at the chain end.Further calculations illustrate the effects of the incorporation of the chain regulator on the size of the amorphous portion.
    Notes: Als Hartblöcke in Polyetherblockamiden werden durch Dicarbonsäuren stark geregelte Polyamide eingesetzt. Da die Säure in Hinblick auf das Schmelz- und Kristallisationsverhalten einen Störbaustein in der Kette darstellt und bei einem ausgeregelten Produkt jede Kette ein Säuremolekül enthält, ist es von Bedeutung zu wissen, wo in der Kette der Einbau erfolgt. Anders als bei monofunktionellen Reglern, wo der Regler stets ein Kettenende bildet, kann ein bifunktioneller Regler a priori auch statistisch im Inneren der Kette eingebaut werden. Dies führt zu einer viel stärkeren Störung, als wenn das Reglermolekül und das sowieso als Störstelle wirkende Kettenende zusammenfallen. Anhand adipinsäuregeregelter Oligoamide auf Basis von Laurinlactam wird kernresonanzspektroskopisch der Einbau des Reglers untersucht und mit Rechnungen verglichen. Es ergibt sich nur dann gute Übereinstimmung, wenn vorausgesetzt wird, daß der Einbau statistisch erfolgt und dabei mit gleicher Wahrscheinlichkeit für jede beliebige Stelle zwischen zwei Laurinlactambausteinen oder am Kettenende abläuft. Weitere Rechnungen verdeutlichen den Einfluß des Reglereinbaus auf die Größe des amorphen Anteils.

    Description / Table of Contents: Auf Grund von mikroskopischen Beobachtungen wurde festgestellt, daß unter dem Einfluß von UV-Strahlung die Oberfläche von PVC-Filmen einer Formveränderung unterliegt. Auf der Oberfläche erscheinen Bläschen und Löcher. Die sich absondernden Gasprodukte der Polymerfotodestruktion verursachen die Bildung dieser Bläschen und Löcher. Größere Oberflächenänderungen wurden in Filmen mit einem Zusatz von 1-5% eines MMA/MA-Copolymeren beobachtet. Das weist auf eine in diesem Modifikator stattfindende Photoabbaureaktion hin, deren Ergiebigkeit größer ist als in reinem PVC. Dieser Modifikator wird in PVC eingeführt, um die Filmoberfläche zu verbessern, beschleunigt allerdings ihre Zerstörung unter dem Einfluß von UV-Strahlung. Es wurde festgestellt, daß Cyclohexanonspuren in den Proben den Photoabbau von MMA/MA retardieren, diesen Prozeß in PVC aber beschleunigen.
    Notes: By means of microscopic observation, the deformation of the surface of PVC films caused by 253.7 nm UV radiation was investigated. Numerous blisters and holes were formed by the gaseous photodecomposition products of the polymer.More apparent deformation of the films containing MMA/MA suggests that the photodecomposition of this modifier occurs with higher efficiency than that of PVC.MMA/MA copolymer is introduced into PVC films to improve the smoothness of their surface, but this modifier accelerates the deformation of this surface under UV irradiation. It was also found that traces of cyclohexanone in samples retard the photodecomposition of MMA/MA and accelerate this process in PVC.

    Description / Table of Contents: Eine Anzahl von Harzen wurde durch gemeinsame Kondensation von p-Aminoacetophenon (p-AAph), substituierten Benzoesäuren wie m-Tolylsäure (m-TA), o-Tolylsäure (o-TA), Phthalsäure (PhA), p-Nitrobenzoesäure (p-NBA), p-Chlorbenzoesäure (p-CIBA) und Formaldehyd (F) in Gegenwart von verschiedenen Säuren und Basen als Katalysatoren hergestellt. Die Harze wurden IR-spektroskopisch charakterisiert. Die Löslichkeitsparameter wurden gemäß Small's Gruppenbeteiligung berechnet; sie stimmen gut mit den experimentellen Werten überein. Das thermische Verhalten und die bakteriologischen Eigenschaften der Harze wurden auch untersucht.
    Notes: A number of resins has been prepared by condensing p-amino-acetophenone (p-AAph) with substituted benzoic acid such as m-toluic acid (m-TA), o-toluic acid (o-TA), phthalic acid (PhA), p-nitrobenzoic acid (p-NBA), p-chlorobenzoic acid (p-CIBA) and formaldehyde (F) in presence of some acids and bases as catalysts. The resins were characterized by infrared spectra of the characteristic groups. The solubility parameters were calculated from Small's group contribution which agreed well with the experimental values. The thermal behaviour and the bacteriological properties of the resins have also been investigated.

    Notes: Notwithstanding their more common beginnings, liquid crystals and molecular biology developed mainly parallel and independently during the last one hundred years.Molecule-phase relationships on the one and complex static-dynamic treatments on the other hand seem to forward mutually integrative views in our days.Biomesogen approaches will deepen our insights into the spatio-temporal coherences of biological systems. They might contribute significantly to the understanding of life processes.

    Notes: Recent studies on ionic distribution in solutions and in suspensions were reviewed. Suspensions of latex particles, which were large enough to be seen under an ultramicroscope, were investigated by the 2-D Fourier transformation. The micrograph showing ordered structures gave discrete scattering spots, whereas those of disordered arrangements displayed no spots or halos. The two-state structure gave a limited number of halo, confirming our previous conclusion that the very frequently observed single, broad scattering peak was reminiscent of some kind of ordering of solute species. By using an image data analyser, the crystallization process was shown to follow the Ostwald ripening mechanism. The concurrent study by the quasi elastic light scattering method and by the Fourier analysis gave consistent scattering profiles, which indicated that the ordering phenomena took place in the entire volume of suspensions. The scattering intensity (correctly the lattice factor) was calculated for cubic systems with paracrystalline distortion. The peak intensity was lowered by enhanced distortion, while the peak position itself was not affected. This justifies our previous treatment of the single, broad peak in terms of the Bragg equation. The experimentally found scattering curve was compared with this theoretical calculation; the degree of distortion was evaluated.

    Notes: Lyotropic liquid crystalline phases of cellulose derivatives were explored as an analytical tool. Molar mass dependent measurements of the helicoidal cholesteric pitch of a cellulose tricarbanilate/solvent system may be used to determine the molar mass of this derivative by optical means. The compatibility of a ternary liquid crystalline system can be adequately investigated by a study of the supermolecular structure with spectroscopic measurements.

    Notes: The application of carotenoids as natural additives in various water-based or water-compatible formulations for the pigmentation of foods and feeds is seriously hampered by their insolubility in aqueous systems.Therefore, in order to develop the full potential of colour strength and to achieve a high degree of bioavailability during gastro intestinal passage, the coarse crystalline material has to be transformed into a microdisperse state.Exemplified with β-carotene, a novel non-mechanical process is described that transforms the carotenoids into a colloidal hydrosol characterized by an average particle size of about 0.1 μm.The process is based on the preparation of a transient high temperature solute state of the carotenoid in a water-miscible solvent, coupled with succeeding rapid aqueous precipitation in the presence of a stabilizing polymer colloid. The obtained hydrosols are characterized by photon-correlation-spectroscopy(size), and microelectrophoresis(colloidal stabilization).The bioavailability was tested by monitoring plasma levels of β-carotene in veal calves.

    Notes: Polymer science is mature enough to allow one to think about tailor-making macromolecular compounds aimed at interacting purposely with living systems. Reasons for developing bioresorbable polymers for temporary therapeutic applications are discussed with respect to property adjustments and economical factors. The field of the applications is first described and guidelines for tailor-making multimeric macromolecules with desired properties are presented. The approach led to focuss investigations on poly(α-hydroxy acids) and functional poly(β-hydroxy acids) derived from natural hydroxy acids, namely lactic, glycolic and malic acids. Physical, mechanical and biological properties of some corresponding polymers and copolymers are presented. Last but not least, examples of applications currently investigated are recalled.

    Notes: When blood comes into contact with an artificial surface, a number of events occur which include protein adsorption, platelet activation and the activation of the intrinsic pathway of blood coagulation. With the increased application of blood containing artificial devices, there is a great demand to develop new biomaterials which retard thrombus formation. Our new approach to solving this problem is to mimic the non-thrombogenic surface of natural biological membranes at least in a simple form. We have developed a polymerisable phospholipid and polyesters based on the major phospholipid polar head group present on the erythrocyte outer membrane surface. The coagulation of blood exposed to these polymers was examined by the technique of Material Thrombelastography, a relatively simple test for the in vitro screening of polymer thrombogenicity. We present results which indicate that the polymerised phospholipid and polyesters show reduced thrombogenicity, and may therefore have potential for future biomaterials.

    Notes: After implantation a stable bond between the implant and the surrounding tissue is required. Therefore a high cell adhesion of the polymer surface of the implant must be achieved. Depending on the treatment time of a polydimethylsiloxane foil with oxygen plasma, the cell adhesion can be improved. FT-IR spectroscopy and ESCA analysis were used to characterize the surface modification. The cell spreading and cell adhesion increase with increasing hydrophilic character of the polymer surface after plasma treatment. A pronounced correlation was found between the efficiency of DNA and protein content, characterizing cell growth, and the spreading of the cells.Polydimethylsiloxane, Glow-Discharge, Surface Modification, Cell Adhesion, Cell Proliferation.

    Notes: We have used synthetic polymers as tools to probe endocytosis and lysosome function. Their particular value lies in their well-defined chemical constitution and in the possibility to custom-synthesize molecules with desired characteristics. Polyvinylpyrrolidone, Percoll and polystyrene beads have been 125I-labelled and used to explore the borderland of pinocytosis and phagocytosis. Derivatized poly(aspartamide), poly(hydroxypropylmethacrylamide) and a polylysine-poly(ethylene oxide) block copolymer have been used to investigate the effects of hydrophobic moieties and sugar residues on substrate-selection in pinocytosis. The effect of cationic moieties has been studied using vinylpyrrolidone-vinylamine copolymers.Poly(hydroxypropylmethacrylamide) with certain oligopeptide side---chains have been shown to be susceptible to lysosomal peptidases. Ethylene glycol oligomers are being used to study the basal permeability of the lysosome membrane.Soluble macromolecules have considerable potential in targeted drug-delivery. Drugs attached to appropriate polymers by covalent links that are susceptible to lysosomal enzymes can deliver drug to target cells and avoid unwanted sideeffects. Synthetic macromolecules have several advantages over their natural counterparts: they are chemically more robust, less immunogenic, and easier and cheaper to prepare in bulk.

    Notes: Diagnostics are e. g. reagents or combinations of reagents or measure bloodcomponents down to concentrations of 10-15 mol/1 in reproducable form. To achieve this target diagnostics have to fullfill special requirements in purity, uniformity, producibility and reproducibility. These requirements are also valid for integrated polymers and plastics. Examples of the application of polymers and plastics in diagnostics are e. g. materials for the blood-plasma-separation, the stabilization of proteins, solid phases in immunoassays as reagent tubes, microtiterplates and latexparticles.Reciprocal actions between polymers, plastics, polymer additives, blood and bloodsubstances like proteins in diagnostic tests can be seen as indications to similar effects by the intracorporeal applications of plastics in surgery and in general for contacts of natural materials with plastics, as usual in the foodpacking.

    Notes: Using Eupergit, a synthetic resin, as an example, the necessary characteristics of a support for high performance affinity chromatography (HPAC) are demonstrated. To such a support different ligands can be immobilized and used for the separation of biopolymers.From the range of possible applications a few examples are chosen. Immunoglobulins are isolated in one step by protein A-HPAC, the purified antibodies are immobilized and applied to immunoaffinity-HPLC for the isolation of corresponding antigens. Concanavalin A-HPAC of membrane proteins was chosen to represent chromatography with immobilized lectins. Antithrombin could be isolated from human plasma by the use of immobilized heparin. HPAC has the advantage of affinity chromatography, which is above all highly specific. As the support is resistant to high pressure and has well defined microparticles with a particular pore size, it provides a much higher yield at considerable flow rates. The handling of materials like this is simpler, the separation of the sample is quicker and can be reproduced more easily.

    Description / Table of Contents: Controlled polyelectrolyte adsorption can be used to render phospholipid bilayer membranes sensitive to physical and chemical signals. We describe in this paper the design and construction of macromolecular switches for bilayer membranes, which can be used to create lipid vesicles that release their contents rapidly and quantitatively in response to changes in pH, temperature, light intensity or glucose concentration. The kinetics and mechanisms of the molecular switching processes observed in such systems are also discussed.
    Notes: Kontrollierte Adsorption von Polyelektrolyten kann ein wirksames Werkzeug im Design von dünnen molekularen Filmen sein. Man kann erwarten, daß die Adsorption von Polyelektrolytketten das empfindliche Kräftegleichgewicht erheblich beeinflußt, das die strukturellen und funktionellen Eigenschaften von geordneten Strukturen wie Einzel-, Doppel- und Mehrfachschichten bestimmt. Andererseits ist die Adsorption von Polyelektrolyten außerordentlich sensitiv auf Umgebungsparameter, z.B. pH, Temperatur oder lonenstärke. Kontrollierte Adsorption kann daher zu Sensitivität auf bestimmte chemische oder physikalische Stimuli führen, sodaß auf diese Weise ein molekularer Schaltmechanismus entworfen werden kann. Durch Umsetzen dieser ldee in reale Systeme gelang es uns, molekulares Schalten in Mischungen von Poly(2-ethylacrylsäre) mit natürlichen oder synthetischen Phosphatidylcholinen zu bewirken. Insbesondere haben wir Phosphatidylcholinvesikel hergestellt, die ihren lnhalt nach einer Änderung von pH, Temperatur, Glukosekonzentration oder nach Bestrahlung mit Licht schnell und quantitativ freisetzen. Die Entwicklung und die Herstellung von Doppelschichtmembranen, die auf solche Änderungen reagieren, sowie die Kinetik und der Mechanismus des damit verbundenen molekularen Schaltprozesses werden im vorliegenden Artikel diskutiert.

    Notes: Enzymes can be immobilized by gel entrapment, by microencapsulation, by physical or ionic adsorption, by covalent binding to inorganic or organic carriers, or by whole cell immobilization. Of particular interest is the large number of chemical reactions developed for the covalent binding of enzymes via their nonessential functional groups to inorganic carriers such as glass, ceramics and iron, to natural polymers such as cellulose and Sepharose, and to synthetic polymers such as nylon, polyacrylamide, and other vinyl polymers and copolymers possessing reactive chemical groups. The stability of certain enzymes is markedly increased on their immobilization. It was thus possible to transform the biologically active polymer derivatives into active enzyme beads, enzyme capsules, enzyme columns and enzyme membranes and these enabled the construction of enzyme reactors such as the batch-stirred tank reactors, the continuous packed bed reactors, and fluidized bed reactors. So far mainly immobilized hydralases and isomerases are being used in industry on a large scale. It seems likely, however, that once adequate techniques become available for cofactor recycling, the use of immobilized enzymes will be extended to other organic reactions, particularly those involving stereospecific synthesis of simple or complex organic molecules. Among the industrial processes in which immobilized enzymes are being used, it is worth mentioning the industrial-scale continuous production of fructose enriched syrup from glucose by immobilized glucose-isomerase, the batch process for the production of 6-aminopenicillanic acid (6-APA) from penicillin G with the aid of immobilized penicillin amidase; the production of aspartame from aspartic acid and phenylalanine by immobilized thermoase; the large scale production of optically active amino acids with immobilized amino acid acylase; and the large scale production and application of immobilized lactase for the hydrolysis of lactose. The recently developed process for acrylamide production using immobilized nitrilase containing microbial cells should also be referred to. The successful use of an NAD-polyethylene glycol conjugate (NAD-PEG) as a nondialyzable water-soluble coenzyme derivative in the enzymic synthesis of leucine from α-ketoisocaproic acid and ammonia, in a membrane-enclosed reactor containing L-leucine dehydrogenase, NAD-PEG, formate and formate dehydrogenase, illustrates the new possibilities opened up by making use of cofactor-polymer conjugates. The use of enzyme-polymer conjugates in analytical and clinical is also illustrated.

    Notes: The genetic make-up of living systems especially of isolated cells can be altered by a variety of methods including chemical or light-induced mutation. More modern procedures are the in vitro recombination of nucleic acids and the cell-cell fusion.The new methods are especially useful to reprogram microorganisms to produce valuable proteins or other natural products in excess quantties. In the following we will elucidate the importance of the new techniques by describing the bacterial production of glucose dehydrogenase, of the proteinase inhibitor stefin A and by outlining the methods and promisses of substractive cloning. Although the economic value of genetic engineering techniques still awaits justification, the importance of the methodology for basic biological research is well documented.

    Notes: Immobilization of whole cells has become an efficient tool for biosynthesis, biotransformation and analysis. High cell density, high operational stability, easy handling, propably in continuous systems, and multiple reuse are important advantages of immobilized cells. In comparison to other methods like adsorption, crosslinking and encapsulation, the entrapment within a polymeric network is the most widely applied technique in heterogeneous biocatalysis. For immobilizing mammalian cells nearly exclusively the adsorption onto micorcarriers is used. Requirements for the polymers to be used in such immobilized cell systems are discussed in detail.

Nach der Reaktion wurden die im Inneren der Membran verbleibenden —SO2Cl-Gruppen durch Tauchen in wäßrige Natronlauge hydrolysiert.Die so gewonnenen Kationen-Austauschmembranen wurden mittels Elektrodialyse von Seewasser hinsichtlich ihrer Selektivität für die Durchlässigkeit von einwertigen Kationen, ihres elektrischen Widerstandes, ihrer Stromleistung und ihrer überfüh-rungszahlen für Natrium-Ionen untersucht. ATR-IR-Messungen auf der Membran-oberfläche belegen, daß die Shäureamidbindung gegenüber starker Hydrolyseeinwirkung stabil war.
    Notes: In order to give the monovalent cation permselectivity to the cation exchange membrane permanently, polyethyleneimine layer was formed on the membrane surface by acid-amide bond between polyethyleneimine and the —SO2Cl groups of a styrene-divinylbenzene copolymer membrane. After the reaction, the —SO2Cl groups remaining in the inner part of the membrane were hydrolyzed by immersing the membrane into an aqueous sodium hydroxide solution.The resultant cation exchange membranes were evaluated by electrodialysis of sea water from the point of view of the monovalent cation permselectivity, electric resistance of the membrane, current efficiency, and transport number of sodium ions calculated by membrane potential in connection with reduced viscosity of the various commercial polyethyleneimines, ATR-IR measurements on the membrane surface suggested that the acid-amide bond was stable for severe hydrolysis reaction.

    Description / Table of Contents: Der Orientierungsmechanismus von kaltverstrecktem, teilkristallinem Polyoxymethylen wurde durch Messung der Intensität der Weitwinkel-Röntgenstreuung (WAXS) untersucht. Die Anisotropie der Proben wurde im einachsigen Zugversuch bei etwa 130°C im Temperaturbereich zwischen Glasübergangstemperatur und Schmelzpunkt erzeugt. Der Prozess der plastischen Deformation wurde für verschiedene Stadien der Verstreckung diskutiert. Die Orientierungsverteilung der Kristalllamellen wurde qualitativ charakterisiert durch die Berechnung von Polfiguren aus den WAXS Streuintensitätsdaten. Der Grad der Orientierung wurde durch die Berechnung des Orientierungsfaktors für den [100] Flächennormalenvektor der Einheitszelle beschrieben. Die Textur der eingeschnürten Proben mit hoher Orientierung wurde als Mischung von axialer und uniplanar-axialer Textur erkannt. Als mögliche Erklärung für diesen Orientierungstyp wird ein Einfluß der Probengeometrie angenommen.
    Notes: The orientation mechanism of cold-drawn, partially crystalline polyoxymethylene (ULTRAFORM) samples was studied by performing wide angle X-ray scattering (WAXS) measurements. The anisotropic samples were prepared in uniaxial tensile tests around 130°C, in a temperature range between the glass transition and the melting point. The process of the plastic deformation is discussed for different degrees of anisotropy. The orientation distribution of the crystalline lamellae was qualitatively characterized by performing pole figure intensity calculations from the measured WAXS intensities. The degree of orientation was quantitatively described by calculating the orientation factors for the [100] normal vector of the unit cell. The texture of the necked samples with high orientation degrees was a mixture of axial and uniplanar-axial textures. An explanation for the formation of this kind of orientation is proposed assuming an influence of the sample geometry on the orientation process.

    Description / Table of Contents: Herkömmliches Vernetzen von Polyethylen niedriger Dichte (LDPE) wurde mit Dicumylperoxid (DCP) als Vernetzer durchgeführt. DCP wurde in verschiedenen Konzentrationen mit LDPE-Schnitzeln in einem Extruder bei 135 - 145°C gemischt. Monofilamentfäden wurden bei 110°C auf einer Laborziehmaschine gezogen. Die Zugdehnungseigenschaften, der prozentuale Schrumpf und die Dichte wurden mit Zunahme der DCP-Konzentration und der Heizdauer verbessert, während jedoch die prozentuale Quellung abnahm.
    Notes: Conventional crosslinking of low density polyethylene (LDPE) was carried out using dicumyl peroxide (DCP) as crosslinking agent. DCP in various concentrations was mixed with LDPE chips in an extruder at 135 - 145°C. Monofilaments were drawn on a laboratory drawing machine at 110°C. It was found that tensile properties, percent shrinkage and density were improved with the increase in the concentration of DCP and in the heating period, whereas, however, the percent swelling decreased.

    Description / Table of Contents: Die Resultate von Untersuchungen über die chemische Wechselwirkung zwischen einigen monofunktionellen Modellverbindungen, die die Struktur und Reaktivität von wärmehärtbaren Phenol- und Harnstoff-Formaldehyd-Harzen simulieren, mit Holzkomponenten (Hemicellulosen, Cellulose und Lignin) werden dargelegt. Während Hemicellulosen deutlich dazu neigen, Kondensationsprodukte mit diesen Modellverbindungen zu ergeben, reagieren Lignine in manchen Fällen weniger leicht und abhängig davon, durch welchen Prozeß sie gewonnen worden sind, und abhängig von der Art der Modellverbindung. Cellulose reagierte wegen ihrer Kristallinität nicht unter den gegebenen Bedingungen.
    Notes: Results are presented on the chemical interactions occurring when some monofunctional model compounds simulating the structure and reactivity of thermosetting phenol- and urea-formaldehyde resins are mixed with wood components (hemicelluloses, cellulose, and lignins). Whereas hemicelluloses clearly show a propensity to give condensation products with these model compounds, lignins can react less readily in some instances depending on the delignification procedure used to isolate them and on the type of model compound. Cellulose did not react under the conditions chosen, mostly because of its crystalline character.

    Description / Table of Contents: XPS-, SSIMS- und Wasserkontaktwinkelmessungen wurden verwendet, um den chemischen Einfluß von CF4/O2-Entladungen auf Polycarbonat (PC) aus Bisphenol A zu charakterisieren. Die durch Plasmabehandlung erzeugte Oberflächenmodifizierung kann auf der Basis der im Plasma vorhandenen aktiven Spezies, deren Konzentration durch Actinometrie bestimmt worden ist, erklärt werden.Bei kleinen Gehalten an O2 im Gas (1%) tritt eine umfassende Fluorierung der Oberfläche bedingt durch die Pfropfung von Fluorkohlenstoff-Radikalen ein. Es werden perfluorierte Inseln gebildet, wie der hohe Wert des zunehmenden Kontaktwinkels zeigt. Bei 20-80% O2 reagieren Fluoratome mit der Oberfläche und ätzen sie teilweise. Kleine Gehalte an Fluor, aber keine perfluorierten Inseln werden beobachtet. Sauerstoff trägt zum Ätzen bei und oxidiert die PC-Oberfläche. Die Sauerstoffkonzentration auf der Oberfläche nimmt mit Zunahme des O2-Gehalts im Gas zu, ebenso die Bildung von stark oxidierten Inselchen auf der Probenoberfläche, wie die dramatische Abnahme der Kontaktwinkel zeigt. Eine Verminderung der Aromatizität der Oberfläche, die mit Hilfe von XPS und SSIMS beobachtet wird, ist die Folge dieser Reaktionen.
    Notes: XPS, SSIMS and water contact angle measurements have been used to characterize the chemical effect of CF4/O2 discharges on polycarbonate (PC) made from bisphenol A. We found that the surface modification induced by plasma treatment can be clearly explained on the basis of the acitve species present in the plasma, whose concentration has been studied by actinometry.With very low amounts of O2 in the gas feed (1%) extensive fluorination of the surface occurs, due to grafting of the fluorocarbon radicals. Perfluorinated islands are formed, as shown by the high value of advancing contact angles. In the 20-80% O2 range, fluorine atoms react with the surface, partially inducing etching. Low amounts of fluorine are observed on the sample and no perfluorinated islands. Oxygen participates in etching and oxidizes the PC surface. We observed an increase of the surface concentration of oxygen with increasing the O2 amount in the gas feed and also the formation of strongly oxidized islets on the sample surface, as shown by the dramatic reduction of receding contact angles. A reduction of surface aromaticity, observed by XPS and SSIMS, is the consequence of these reactions.

    Description / Table of Contents: An attempt was made to obtain cationic cellulose derivatives of highest possible degrees of substitution by treating dissolving grade pulps under homogeneous conditions with glycidyltrimethylammonium chloride in the solvent system dimethylacetamide/lithiumchloride. The influence of temperature, reaction time and molar ratio of the reagents was examined. A reaction time of 8 h and a temperature of 70°C have been found to be optimal. The cellulose content in solution and the molar ratio of the reagents have to be adapted to the used pulp.
    Notes: Es wurde der Versuch unternommen, durch Umsetzung von Zellstoffen mit Glycidyltrimethylammoniumchlorid im Lösungsmittelsystem Dimethylacetamid/Lithiumchlorid kationische Cellulosederivate mit möglichst hohen Substitutionsgraden zu erhalten. Hierzu wurden Temperaturabhängigkeit, Reaktionsdauer und Molverhältnis der Reaktanden untersucht. Als optimal erwies sich eine Reaktionsdauer von 8 h bei einer Reaktionstemperatur von 70°C. Der Cellulosegehalt in Lösung und das Molverhältnis der Reaktanden müssen dem verwendeten Zellstoff angepaßt werden.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Der endotherme Adsorptionsvorgang ist vom Anfangs-pH-Wert und der Anfangskonzentration abhängig und kann mit einer Langmuir-Isotherme beschrieben werden.Die Adsorptionswärme (Δ) bei pH 4 beträgt für Benzol, Toluol und Xylol 29,45 kJ mol-1, 34,41 kJ mol-1 bzw. 35,58 kJ mol-1, bei pH 10 30,17 kJ mol-1, 35.56 kJ mol-1 bzw. 39,39 kJ mol-1.

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

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

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

Die Zugabe einer geringen Menge UHMWPE (2 Gew.-%) führt zu einer Verstärkung der PES-C-Matrix. Höhere UHMWPE-Konzentrationen verschlechtern die mechanischen Eigenschaften. Die Strukturuntersuchungen zeigen, daß die Blends im gesamten Zusammensetzungsbereich mehrphasig sind. Bei geringen UHMWPE-Konzentrationen ist die UHMWPE-Phase gleichmäßig verteilt und entlang der Fließrichtung orientiert, was mit der starken Grenzflächenadhäsion zur Verbesserung des mechanischen Verhaltens beiträgt. Mit steigender UHMWPE-Konzentration nimmt die Domänengröß der UHMWPE-Phase zu.
    Notes: Mechanical and structural properties of blends of phenolphthalein poly(ether sulfone) (PES-C) with ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) were investigated using tensile and bending testing, scanning electron microscopy and transition electron microscopy. The incorporation of minor amounts of UHMWPE (2 wt.-%) into PES-C has a reinforcement effect. With higher concentrations of UHMWPE, the mechanical properties decrease gradually. Structural studies demonstrated that the blends are multiphasic in the whole composition range. The minor UHMWPE, dispersed uniformly and oriented along the flow direction, as well as the strong interfacial adhesion contribute to the increase of the mechanical performance of the blends. The domain size of the UHMWPE phase was found to increase with the increase of its concentration.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

    Notes: A second example of insertion of a water molecule into the helical backbone of an apolar peptide is presented here and compared to a similar occurrence in a longer peptide with the same type of sequence of residues, i.e., Boc-Aib-(Ala-Leu-Aib)3-OMe. The backbone of the title compound assumes an approximate 310-helical form with three 4 → 1 hydrogen bonds. In the place of a fourth 4 → 1 hydrogen bond, a water molecule is inserted between O(1) and N(4), and acts as a bridge by forming hydrogen bonds N(4) … W(1) (2.95 Å) and W(1) … O(1) (2.81 Å). The water molecule participates in a third hydrogen bond with a neighboring peptide molecule, W(1) … O(4) (2.91 Å). The insertion of the water molecule causes the apolar peptide to mimic an amphiphilic helix.

    Notes: Chemical shifts of base and H1′ protons of the single-stranded hexamers d(ATTACC) and d(GGTAAT), of the 1 : 1 mixtures of these complementary hexamers, and of the self-complementary dodecamer d(ATTACCGGTAAT) were measured at various temperatures in aqueous solution. Four different sample concentrations were used in the case of the dodecamer and of the mixture of the complementary hexamers; the individual hexamers were measured at two different DNA concentrations. Absorbance temperature profiles at five different NaCl concentrations were measured for the dodecamer in order to quantify the effect of the ionic strength on the duplex formation.Under suitable conditions of nucleotide concentration, temperature, and ionic strength, the dodecamer adopts either a B-DNA duplex or a hairpin-loop structure. Chemical shift vs temperature profiles, constructed for all samples, were used to obtain thermodynamic parameters either for the various stacking interactions in the single strands or for the duplex or the hairpin-loop formation. In the analysis of the duplex formation of the hexamers, a two-state approach appeared too simple, because systematic deviations were revealed. Therefore, a new three-state model (DUPSTAK) was developed. In order to investigate the magnitude of error arising from the use of the two-state approach in cases where the DUPSTAK model appears more appropriate, a series of test calculations was made. The magnitude of error in the enthalpy and in the entropy of duplex melting is found to depend linearly upon the actual melting temperature and not upon the individual ΔHOd and ΔSOd values.Thermodynamic analysis of the chemical shift vs temperature profiles in D2O solution (no added salt) yields an average Tmd value of 341 K (1M DNA) and ΔHOd of -121 kJ · mol-1 for the dimer/random-coil transition of the hexamer duplex d(ATTACC) · d(GGTAAT). For the duplex ⇄ random-coil transition of the 12-mer d(ATTACCGGTAAT) an average Tmd value of 336 K (1M DNA) and ΔHOd of -372 kJ · mol-1 are found. The hairpin/random-coil transition of d(ATTACCGGTAAT) is characterized by a rather large ΔHOh value, -130 kJ · mol-1, and an average Tmh value of 304 K.

    Notes: A computational method is elaborated for studying the water environment around regular polynucleotide duplexes; it allows rigorous structural information on the hydration shell of DNA to be obtained. The crucial aspect of this Monte Carlo simulation is the use of periodical boundary conditions. The output data consists of local maxima of water density in the space near the DNA molecule and the properties of one- and two-membered water bridges as function of pairs of polar groups of DNA.In the present paper the results for poly(dG) · poly(dC) and poly(dG-dC) · poly(dG-dC) are presented. The differences in their hydration shells are of a purely structural nature and are caused by the symmetry of the polar groups of the polymers under study, the symmetry being reflected by the hydration shell.The homopolymer duplex hydration shell mirrors the mononucleotide repeat. The water molecules contacting the polynucleotide in the minor groove are located nearly in the plane midway between the planes of successive base pairs. One water molecule per base pair forms a water bridge facing two polar groups of bases from adjacent base pairs and on different strands making a “spine”-like structure. In contrast, the major groove hydration is stabilized exclusively by two-membered water bridges; the water molecules deepest in the groove are concentrated near the plane of the corresponding base pair.The alternating polymer is characterized by a marked dyad symmetry of the hydration shell corresponding to the axis between two successive base pairs. The minor groove hydration of the dCpdG step resembles the characteristic features of the homopolymer, but the bridge between the O2 oxygens of the other base-stacking type is formed by two water molecules. The major groove hydration is characterized by high probability of one-membered water bridges and by localization of a water molecule on the dyad axis of the dGpdC step.The found structural elements are discussed as reasonable invariants of a dynamic hydration shell.

    Notes: We report dynamic light scattering measurements over a wide range of scattering vectors for fractionated samples of porcine submaxillary mucin (PSM) glycoproteins in two different solvents: 0.1M NaCl, and 6M GdnHCl. The relaxation spectrum has been successfully resolved into a slow mode corresponding to pure translational diffusion and a fast mode containing information on the relaxation times for intramolecular motion. Analysis of the slow mode permits a light scattering evaluation of the polydispersity of these high molecular weight mucin glycoprotein fractions. Determination of the longest intramolecular relaxation times τ1 shows that these are much longer for the PSM fractions in 0.1M NaCl compared to 6M GdnHCl. These data are consistent with earlier studies showing that the chain conformation is the same in both solvents, but that in 0.1M NaCl, the PSM glycoprotein undergoes a self-association process that is end-to-end in nature. Since the τ1 value is intimately related to the viscoelastic behavior of PSM solutions and gels, it is interesting to speculate that the end-to-end association process may be physiologically important.

    Notes: Theoretical computations are performed of the intercalative binding to a model d(CpG)2 minihelix of 7-H pyrido[4.3C]carbazole, the precursor of the antitumor bisintercalating drug ditercalinium. The conformations of the intercalation site are generated by the AGNAS procedure (algorithm to generate nucleic acid structures) of Miller and co-workers. The ligand-nucleotide interactions and the nucleotide conformational energies are computed with the SIBFA procedures (sum of interactions between fragments ab intio computed), which use formulas of empirical origin that reproduce ab initio SCF (self-consistent field) computations. Among the candidate intercalation sites most favored energetically, one has a pattern of conformational angles related to the one determined crystallographically by Sobell et al. in a series of x-ray structural studies of small intercalator-dinucleotide monophosphate complexes. Optimal values of the unwinding angle, found in the range of -12° to -14°, are consistent with available experimental data on DNA.

    Notes: The effect of concanavalin A (Con A) on the thermotropic behavior of positively charged, glycosyl-free lipids and their mixtures with zwitterionic lipids was investigated by differential scanning calorimetry.The gel to liquid-crystal phase transition enthalpy of pure dipalmitoylcholine (DPC) was found to be significantly increased in the presence of Con A (ΔH = 31.2 and 42.5 KJ mol-1 lipid in the presence and in absence of Con A, respectively). Addition of the lectin to DPC liposomes, furthermore, induces the appearance of a new phase transition centered at 320 K. These results are interpretable by a partial hydrophobic interdigitation of the lectin molecule into the liposomal bilayer.The effect of Con A on the phase behavior of three 2:1 mixtures of zwitterionic and of positively charged lipids was also investigated. Phase diagrams of the systems dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine-dihydrosphingosine (DPPC-DHS), sphingomyelin-dipalmitoylcholine (SPM-DPC), and dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine-dipalmitoylcholine (DMPC-DPC) are presented. In lipid mixtures of limited miscibility (DPPC-DHS and SPM-DPC), Con A induces pronounced phase-separation effects. These effects are attributable to a direct hydrophobic interaction of the lectin with the liposomal bilayer and do not require the presence of specific receptor groups.The possible relationship between lectin-induced phase separations in the lipid matrix of biomembranes, and the observed changes in membrane permeability, membranal enzymatic activities, etc., is briefly discussed.

    Notes: Two-dimensional nuclear Overhauser enhancement (2D NOESY) data are reported for the polypentapeptide of elastin, poly(VPGVG), and the cyclopentadecapeptide, cyclo(VPGVG)3. In both, the repeating type II Pro2-Gly3 β-turn can be derived from the NOE data, providing confirmation of many previous studies. In addition, other through-space connectivities are detailed that also compare favorably with previously determined crystal and solution structures for cyclo(VPGVG)3. Also, near identical data for the cyclopentadecapeptide and the polypentapeptide demonstrate the cyclic conformation-linear (helical) conformational correlate relationship between the two molecules. The 2D NOESY experiment is seen to be an effective means of establishing the presence or absence of a conformational relationship between a cyclic repeating sequence and its higher molecular weight linear counterpart. This is an approach of substantial practical value when developing the conformation of sequential polypeptides and when attempting to identify the presence of the conformation of a repeating peptide sequence within a more complex primary structure.Having established the basic conformational relationship between a cyclic conformation and its linear helical counterpart, cross peaks present in the linear helical structure that are not present in the cyclic conformational correlate can provide information on the interactions between adjacent turns of the helix. In this connection, a ValγCH3 ↔ ProβCH2 interaction is reported that can be the basis for determining the number of pentamers per turn of helix once it is determined whether it is dominantly the Val1 or Val4γCH3 that is interacting with the Pro2βCH2.

    Notes: We have applied the formalism developed previously for the kinetics of domain-localized reaction [S. Mazur and M. T. Record, Jr. (1986) Biopolymers 25, 985-1008] to describe complex mechanisms of association of a protein with a specific site on a large DNA molecule also containing many nonspecific binding sites. These nonspecific sites participate in the mechanism of formation of the specific complex through competitive binding and the facilitating mechanisms of sliding and transfer. The effects of localizing the sites in a domain are represented by a simple algebraic expression, and the sequence of interactions within the domain are described by equations closely related to a conventional, homogeneous solution mechanism. We apply this formalism to examine the interplay between sliding and direct transfer in domain-localized interactions in general and in the lac repressor-lac operator interaction in particular. Experimental investigation of the effect of the molecular location of the specific site (e.g., end vs middle of the polymer chain) on the kinetics of association may allow the contributions of sliding and direct transfer to be resolved.

    Notes: Electrostatic potentials around DNA are obtained by solving the nonlinear Poisson-Boltzmann (PB) equation. The detailed charge distribution of the DNA and the different polarizabilities of the macromolecule and solvent are included explicitly in the calculations. The PB equation is solved using extensions of a finite difference approach applied previously to proteins. Electrical potentials and ion concentrations are compared to those obtained with simpler models. It is found that the shape of the dielectric boundary between the macromolecule and solvent has significant effects on the calculated potentials near the surface, particularly in the grooves. Sequence-specific patterns are found, the most surprising result being the existence of positive regions of potential near the bases in both the major and minor grooves. The effect of solvent and ionic atmosphere screening of phosphate-phosphate repulsions is studied, and an effective dielectric function, appropriate for molecular mechanics simulations, is derived.

    Notes: We have used Raman scattering to study the water O-H stretching modes at ∼ 3450 and ∼ 3220 cm-1 in DNA films as a function of relative humidity (r.h.). The intensity of the 3220-cm-1 band vanishes as the r.h. is decreased from 98% to around 80%, which indicates that the hydrogen-bond network of water is disrupted in the primary hydration shell (which therefore cannot have an “ice-like” structure). The number of water molecules in the primary hydration shell was determined from the intensity of the ∼ 3200-cm-1 band as about 30 water molecules per nucleotide pair. The ∼ 3400-cm-1 O-H stretch band was used for determining the total water content, and this band persists at 0% r.h., implying that 5-6 tightly bound water molecules per nucleotide pair remain. The frequency of the ∼ 3400-cm-1 O-H stretch mode is lower by 30 to 45 cm-1 in the primary hydration shell compared to free water. The water content as a function of r.h. obtained from these experiments agrees with gravimetric measurements. The disappearance of the ∼ 3200-cm-1 band and the shift of the ∼ 3400-cm-1 O-H stretch band provide a reliable way of measuring the hydration number of DNA.

    Notes: An estimation of the thermodynamic effects of a charged random coil, which is attached either to the N- or C-terminus of polyalanine, upon α-helix stability is attempted. A temperature-induced helix-coil transition of Ala20Lys20Phe and Lys20Ala20Phe was studied under various conditions of salt concentration and pH. By combining the results with previous ones for Ala20Glu20Phe and Glu20Ala20Phe, which have opposite electric charges to the present system [S. Ihara et al. (1982) Biopolymers 21, 131-145], the free energy of the coil to helix transition of the polyalanine block could be separated into two terms - one term for the electrostatic interaction of electric charges in the random-coil block with the α-helix dipole, and a second term for the intrinsic stability of the helix. The first term indicates the significance of the helix dipole-charge interactions, which affects the helix stability depending on the attaching side of the charged block and on the sign of the charges. This clearly shows the anisotropic stability of the α-helix. Furthermore, analysis of the dependence of these thermodynamic quantities on salt concentrations showed, assuming that the effect of the attached electric charges was symmetric (in other words, the absolute values of the electrostatic interaction terms were independent of the sign of electric charges), that the intrinsic stability of the α-helix was dependent on which side of the helix was attached to the random coil: a random coil attached to the N-terminus of the α-helix had little effect while that attached to a C-terminal significantly destabilized the helix.

    Notes: The velocity and orientation of T4 and λ DNA have been measured for the first 20 s during pulsed-field gel electrophoresis in order to clarify the DNA motions that occur. For a square pulse with field strength E = 10 V/cm, the velocity of λ DNA increases gradually to 10.5 μm/s in 1.0 s, declines to 8.6 μm/s, and then rises to a plateau value of 9.3 μm/s after 4 s. T4 DNA behaves similarly, but more slowly. Parallel measurements of fluorescence-detected linear dichroism show that the DNA becomes substantially aligned with its chain axis parallel to the electrophoretic field E after the pulse is applied. The alignment also shows an overshoot, an undershoot, and a plateau comparable to those seen for velocity. When the field strength increases, both the velocity and the alignment reach their peaks more quickly. For all field strengths and both molecular weights, the velocity peak occurs when the molecular center of mass has moved 0.3 to 0.5 L, where L is the chain contour length. A qualitative model is provided.

    Notes: In the context of dynamic Monte Carlo simulations on a model protein confined to a tetrahedral lattice, the interplay of protein size and tertiary structure, and the requirements for an all-or-none transition to a unique native state, are investigated. Small model proteins having a primary sequence consisting of a central bend neutral region flanked by two tails having an alternating hydrophobic/hydrophilic pattern of residues are seen to undergo a continuous transition to a β-hairpin collapsed state. On increasing the length of the tails, the β-hairpin structural motif is found to be in equilibrium with a four-member β-barrel. Further increase of the tail length results in the shift of the structural equilibrium to the four-member β-barrel. The random coil to β-barrel transition is of an all-or-none character, but while the central turn is always the desired native bend, the location of the turns involving the two external strands is variable. That is, β-barrels having the external stands that are two residues out of register are also observed in the transition region. Introduction into the primary sequence of two additional regions that are at the very least neutral toward turn formation produces an all-or-none transition to the unique, native, four-member β-barrel. Various factors that can augment the stability of the native conformation are explored. Overall, these folding simulations strongly indicate that the general rules of globular protein folding are rather robust - namely, one requires a general pattern of hydrophobic/hydrophilic residues that allow the protein to have a welldefined interior and exterior and the presence of regions in the amino acid sequence that at the very least are locally indifferent to turn formation. Since no site-specific interactions between hydrophobic and hydrophilic residues are required to produce a unique four-member β-barrel, these simulations strongly suggest that site specificity is involved in structural fine-tuning.

    Notes: Sequence-specific photomodification of oligodeoxynucleotide pAGAGTATTGACTTA (“a target”) has been carried out with the aid of complementary fluorescent probes. Such a probe consisted of oligodeoxynucleotide pAATACTCT and a chromophore group attached to its 5′ end. Three different derivatives of ethidium bromide were used as a chromophore. The photomodification was induced by nitrogen laser radiation (337 nm, 15 MW /cm2). The irradiation induces the following photodamages: target cleavage at the specific binding site with a cutting off of the 8-mer from its 5′ end (yield up to 12%), formation of specific covalent adduct target-probe with a yield of 20-70%, and piperidine-sensitive target modifications with a 7-27% yield (for different chromophores). The total yield of specific photodamages of all kinds is 50-80%. The target cleavage and generation of piperidine-sensitive modifications are optically nonlinear processes. Piperidine treatment of the irradiated samples led to specific cleavage of the target with the yield up to 40%. All kinds of observed modifications are not influenced by high concentrations of free radical scavengers: 1.3M tBuOH and 10 mM cystamine. The pattern of cleavage indicates that the most probable position of the chromophore is between T8 and G9 of the target, i.e., the chromophore stacks on top of the last A · T base pair of the duplex. The aggregate of evidence is in agreement with the mechanism of nonlinear photomodification (the cleavage and generation of piperidine-sensitive modifications) based on the transfer of two-photon excitation energy from the chromophore to the target.

    Notes: The physiological importance of heparin is due to its strong interaction with bivalent counterions, especially Ca2+. A diffusional approach of this property is presented in this article: the observable is the self-diffusion coefficient of the counterions, as a function of the ratio of the polyelectrolyte over the added salt concentrations. All the results are in agreement with a simple “quasi-chemical model” in which two different states are assumed for the counterions: “free” or “bound.” The proportions of these two types of ions are calculated according to the distribution function of the counterions around the polyion. We assume that those of counterions located at a distance closer than a, the characteristic distance, are bound; the others are free. The ionic distribution function is evaluated by a numerical integration of a cell model Poisson-Boltzmann equation. Finally, this model leads to a very good agreement with the experimental results, if the radius of heparin polyion is assumed to be 6 and 10 Å.
