    Phylogenetic evidence for multiple Alu source genes (1992)
    Springer
    Journal of molecular evolution 35 (1992), S. 7-16

    ISSN: 1432-1432

    Topics: Biology
    Notes: Summary A member of the young PV Alu sub-family is detected in chimpanzee DNA showing that the PV subfamily is not specific to human DNA. This particular Alu is absent from the orthologous loci in both human and gorilla DNAs, indicating that PV subfamily members transposed within the chimpanzee lineage following the divergence of chimpanzee from both gorilla and human. These findings and previous reports describing the transpositional activity of other Alu sequences within the human, gorilla, and chimpanzee lineages provide phylogenetic evidence for the existence of multiple Alu source genes. Sequences surrounding this particular Alu resemble known transcriptional control elements associated with RNA polymerase III, suggesting a mechanism by which cis-acting elements might be acquired upon retrotransposition.

    An analysis of codon usage in mammals: Selection or mutation bias? (1991)
    Springer
    Journal of molecular evolution 33 (1991), S. 442-449 
    Details
    ISSN: 1432-1432
    Keywords: Humans ; Mouse ; Rat ; Codon usage ; Mutation bias ; Selection
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Biology
    Notes: Summary A new statistical test has been developed to detect selection on silent sites. This test compares the codon usage within a gene and thus does not require knowledge of which genes are under the greatest selection, that there exist common trends in codon usage across genes, or that genes have the same mutation pattern. It also controls for mutational biases that might be introduced by the adjacent bases. The test was applied to 62 mammalian sequences, the significant codon usage biases were detected in all three species examined (humans, rats, and mice). However, these biases appear not to be the consequence of selection, but of the first base pair in the codon influencing the mutation pattern at the third position.

    The evolution of two west African populations (1992)

    ISSN: 1432-1432
    Keywords: Humans ; Mitochondrial DNA ; Nuclear polymorphisms ; Heteroplasmy ; Genetic differentiation ; Sickle cell ; Rain forest refuges

    Topics: Biology
    Notes: Summary The identification of genetically coherent populations is essential for understanding human evolution. Among the culturally uniform ethnic groups of west Africa, there are two geographically distinct populations with high frequencies of sickle-cell hemoglobin (HbS). Although the HbS mutation in each group is found on distinguishable chromosomes 11, these populations have been assumed to be parts of a single population. Analysis of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) in these populations demonstrated that the two populations identified by alternative chromosomes 11 bearing HbS have distinct distributions of mitochondrial genotypes, i.e., they are maternally separate. These studies also showed that, contrary to expectation, the mtDNA of some individuals is heteroplasmic. For nuclear loci, a comparison of the frequency of alternative alleles established that these populations are genetically distinct. Both the mitochondrial and nuclear data indicate that these populations have been separate for approximately 50,000 years. Although HbS in the two populations is usually attributed to recent, independent mutations, the duration of the separation and the observed geographic distribution of the population allow for the possibility of an ancient origin of HbS. Assuming an ancient mutation and considering the known biogeography, we suggest that HbS protected selected populations from malaria in rain forest refuges during the most recent ice age.

    Notes: A new crystallization kinetic equation has been derived considering the decrease in growth rate. The average linear growth rate of spherulite was assumed to be proportional to the m-th order of the uncrystallized fraction of the crystallizing material. A modified Avrami equation, 1 - Vc = exp[-Kf(t)n], was used where f(t) is the integral of the growth function, (1 - Vc)m. The validity of the equation was tested by analyzing the isothermal crystallization kinetic data of poly(ethylene terephthalate) from the melt using differential scanning calorimetry.

    The coupled relaxation model for toner melt rheology (1991)

    Notes: Process changes aimed at improving printer engine performance must take into consideration not only the process variables (such as nip temperature and pressure and process time to), but also the melt rheological variables (such as the characteristic time scale of the toner Tc). The melt rheology relevant to the electrophotographic toner fusing process is discussed. One criterion for toner quality can be conveniently measured through the Deborah number De, which is the ratio of Tc to to. Modification of the melt rheology by matrix polymer composition and carbon black size and concentration has previously been explored. Here, the melt rheology of toners with a range of gel content was studied using a step shear test. The coupled relaxation model was employed to fit the stress relaxation data. The viscoelastic properties were calculated from the melt data with this model. These properties were then used to estimate the strain deformation of the toner as it passes through the nip with arbitrary residence time and nip pressure as a function of gel content. This method can be used to match the toner melt properties with the processing conditions.

    Notes: The unified numerical simulation of the filling/postfilling stages of the injection-molding process described in Part I is compared in the present paper with experimental results obtained with instrumented test molds. Flush-mounted pressure traces in the delivery system as well as in the cavity are favorably compared with corresponding predictions for both an amorphous and a semicrystalline polymer. It is demonstrated that the present unified formulation is well suited to handle complicated molds where compressibility effects can become important even during the filling stage, as portions of the cavity fill and undergo a packing behavior even when other regions of the cavity are still only partially filled.

    Notes: This study employs a unified theoretical model to simulate the filling and postfilling stages of the injection-molding process. Implementation of such a model is based on a hybrid finite-element/finite-difference numerical solution of the generalized Hele-Shaw flow of a compressible viscous fluid under nonisothermal conditions. The shear viscosity of the polymeric material is represented by a Cross model for the shear-rate dependence and a WLF-type functional form for the temperature and pressure dependence, whereas the specific volume is modeled in terms of a double-domain Tait equation. The analysis also handles variable specific heat and thermal conductivity of the polymer as a function of temperature. Complex thin parts of variable thickness can be modeled and discretized by flat, triangular finite elements which may have arbitrary orientation in three-dimensional space, whereas runners and possible round pins or bosses in the part are represented as one-dimensional circular-tube elements. A control-volume scheme is employed that leads to automatic melt-front advancement during the cavity-filling stage.

    Notes: The characteristic sigmoid compressive stress-strain relationships of sponges and their layered arrays are described by two kinds of mathematical models having three experimentally determined parameters. Since sponge compression is not accompanied by a significant cross-sectional area expansion, it was assumed that the stress in a multilayered array is the same in each layer. This enables prediction of the array's stress-strain relationship from the parameters of the individual layers and their known thickness. The applicability of the method is demonstrated with experimental data of two kinds of double-layered arrays of polyurethane sponges. It is shown that the arrays' compressive behavior can be satisfactorily predicted irrespective of the mathematical form of the model and whether the strain is expressed as engineering strain or Hencky's.

    Notes: The gapwise density distributions of the injection molded specimens of two engineering thermoplastics, i.e., poly(phenylene ether) and poly(ether imide), were characterized employing the density gradient column technique. The samples were molded using a 40t Van Dorn injection molding machine. The effects of the thermal history on the density distribution of unconstrained quenched specimens were also investigated. In addition, various material properties, such as pressure-volume-temperature, isothermal contraction, and pressure induced densification behavior were characterized, for the two resins employed in this study. The moldings of the two resins exhibited different trends in their density distributions. These findings were explained in terms of the competing effects of cooling rate and the pressure history experienced by the engineering plastic resins during the molding cycle. The data collected were also used as input to mathematical modeling of density distributions in injection molded articles, which is reported in Part II of this article.

The mathematical solution was obtained by using an implicit finite difference method. Results are presented to show the effects of the Peclet number, Nahme number, and the power law index on the profiles of the frozen layer. Melt temperature profiles at different axial locations are also presented.

    A study on bicomponent two-layer slot cast coextrusion (1991)

    Notes: Extensional flow of a bicomponent two-layer slot cast coextrusion process has been studied. A Newtonian and an upper-convected Maxwell fluid were considered to be the two layers, respectively, and the two-layer flow was assumed to be steady and isothermal. This choice was made as a simple model for a system which consists of two distinctly different fluids in terms of their extensional behaviors. Present study considered only the draw-down region where the film thickness changes slowly with the distance from the die exit. For this region, asymptotic solutions could be obtained for two limiting cases in which the elasticity effect of the Maxwell fluid layer is small and the applied tension at the take-off is large, respectively. When the elasticity effect is small, the melt thickness and the velocity profiles are exponential as in the case of a Newtonian single-layer flow. When the applied tension is large, on the other hand, the velocity profile is shown to be near linear. Furthermore, the viscoelasticity effect of the Maxwell fluid layer becomes so dominant that it dictates the mechanics of the coextrusion flow even when its flow rate and shear viscosity may be much smaller than those of the Newtonian layer.

    Notes: Optimal open loop control strategies are developed for a semibatch free radical copolymerization of methyl methacrylate and vinyl acetate using the multiobjective dynamic optimization method. A detailed kinetic model is validated through experimentation and used for the design of optimal controls. Both monomer feed rate and reactor temperature are varied to produce the copolymer of desired composition and molecular weight. The open loop control policies are implemented in a process control computer and tested on an experimental stirred tank polymerization system. Excellent agreement between the model predictions and the experimental data have been obtained.

    Notes: The dynamic behavior of two continuous stirred tank reactors in series has been investigated for free radical solution polymerization of styrene with a binary mixture of two initiators having different thermal decomposition activities. For a wide range of initiator feed composition, both reactors exhibit quite complex nonlinear steady state and transient behavior. When the reactor residence time is used as a bifurcation parameter, the second reactor can have up to five steady states. For certain range of reactor operating conditions, bifurcations to various types of periodic solutions have been observed, such as Hopf bifurcation, isolas, period doubling, period-doubling cascade, and homoclinics. The effects of other reactor variables, such as total initiator concentration, coolant temperature, and reactor volume ratio on the reactor dynamics, are illustrated to show the complex dynamic behavior of the two-reactor system catalyzed by a mixture of t-butyl perbenzoate and benzoyl peroxide.

    Notes: This paper presents the development of a novel in-line extrusion rheometer based on the flow of polymer through a wedge (vertically tapered slit). This rheometer is suitable for measuring changes in rheological properties on-line during reactive extrusion, because it can be used to estimate the viscosity for a range of shear rates without the need to change the polymer flow rate (i.e., extruder throughput). Equations have been developed to estimate the parameters of the power-law equation, used to describe the viscosity-shear rate relationship, from measurements of pressure drops along the wedge. An experimental in-line wedge rheometer has been built and used to measure the viscosity for a series of polypropylenes prepared via reactive extrusion. Viscosity measurements from the experimental in-line wedge rheometer are compared with measurements from a capillary rheometer. Good agreement is found between the capillary and wedge rheometer measurements.

    Notes: A study of simultaneous acoustic and rheometric (dynamic mechanical) measurements of the epoxy curing process is undertaken to assess the validity of using acoustic cure-monitoring sensors for process control. Our results demonstrate that the acoustic technique provides a sensitive means for monitoring the cure of neat epoxy over the entire cure cycle. The acoustic modulus calculated from the shear velocity qualitatively tracks the mechanically measured dynamic modulus and correctly ranks the stiffness of two epoxy compositions. When the frequency difference is accounted for, using time-temperature superposition of the dynamic mechanical measurements, quantitative agreement between the acoustic and mechanical moduli for fully cured epoxy resins is also quite good.

    Notes: The grafting of maleic anhydride (MAH) on high density polyethylene in a counter-rotating twin screw extruder has been studied. As the reaction kinetics appear to be affected by mass transfer, good micro mixing in the extruder is important. Due to the competing mechanisms of increasing mixing and decreasing residence times at increasing screw speed, and due to the complicated reaction scheme, various non-linearities exist that are prohibitive for simple optimization rules. The interaction diagram presented in this paper for a twin screw extruder as a MAH grafting reactor can be used for better understanding of the influence of the extruder parameters on the reaction process.

    Notes: Gear pump assisted extrusion is becoming popular in the plastics processing industries. The growth has been tremendous since 1980. In this study, the benefits of gear pump assisted extrusion, especially in single screw applications, is critically reviewed, and a method of predicting the operational conditions of the gear pump assisted extrusion system is discussed. Further, shortening the length to diameter ratio of the extruder in gear pump assisted extrusion was analyzed and found to produce a reduction in energy consumption, provided melting is completed.

    The measurement of thermal stress distributions along the flow path in injection-molded flat plates (1992)

    Notes: Internal stresses in injection-molded parts are the result of thermal, flow, and pressure histories. Internal stresses can be roughly divided into thermal and flow-induced stresses. In this paper, a modified layer-removal method is presented to determine thermal stress distributions in injection-molded flat plates. With this method, the curvature of a rectangular specimen is determined after the removal of a layer from one surface. This curvature is converted into a stress via a mathematical relation, originally derived by Treuting and Read. By determining the local curvatures after successive layer removals, stress distributions along the flow path were obtained within a single specimen. Validation of this modified layer-removal method is described. A good reproductibility was obtained. The method can be regarded as semi-quantitative. Flat plates were injection-molded from three amorphous polymers: polystyrene, polycarbonate, and a polyphenylene ether/high-impact polystyrene blend. In general, the flat-plate cross-section shows a three-region stress distribution with a tensile stress region both at the surface and in the core of the flat plate and an intermediate region with compressive stresses. The modified layer-removal method was used to determine influences of mold temperature, annealing treatment, and pressure history on the thermal stress distributions. Increasing mold temperature results in a decreasing overall stress level, while the compressive stress region shifts to the surface. An annealing treatment significantly reduces the overall stress level, without affecting the stress pattern. Stress distributions along the flow path were influenced by the varying pressure histories from the entrance to the end of the mold cavity. The various features of the stress profiles are explained by the influence of the pressure decay rate in the injection-molding process.

    Notes: The network formation processes for imidazole-cured epoxy resins were examined by relating the reaction chemistry and the physical properties during cure. Network formation models were developed based on kinetic studies and the laws of conditional probability. These models were used to predict the weight-average molecular weight, the gel point, and the sol fraction as a function of the resin composition and the processing conditions. Rheological and extraction experiments were conducted to confirm the model results and to develop criteria for identifying the gel point.

    Notes: The kinetics of cyclotrimerization and the thermal stability of bisphenol Abased cyanate ester resin systems were determined using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, and thermogravimetry. The bisphenol A dicyanate was cured with 4 phr nonylphenol and with the octoates of zinc and manganese, and cobalt acetylacetonate at concentrations ranging from 0 to 750 ppm metal. An empirical rate law was used to predict the cyanate concentration profiles. The observed reaction rate showed a first-order dependenće on the initial metal concentration and a second-order dependence on the cyanate concentration in the kinetically controlled regime. For the uncatalyzed systems, the kinetics was described by a second-order autocatalytic model. The thermal stability of the network was found to be dependent on the catalyst concentration for the zinc catalysts. For the samples cured with manganese, no effect of concentration on the thermal stability was observed.

    Notes: Ar+ irradiation and annealing at an elevated temperature are used to improve the adhesion of deposited Cr thin films by vacuum evaporation onto polyimide (PI) substrates. The Ar+ ions of 50 and 200 keV and various Ar+ doses ranging from 1 × 1013 to 2 × 1016 ions/cm2 are chosen for the experiments, after many preliminary trials. The surface analyses are conducted employing Rutherford Backscattering Spectroscopy (RBS), Fourier transform infrared spectrometry (FTIR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and Scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Ar+ irradiation produces an interfacial layer of about 100 Å (10 nm) thick in which Cr particles and PI molecules are physically mixed and chemically bonded. The chemical bonds of Cr—O and a trace of Cr≡C are observed by XPS and FTIR. Impact-wear tests are also conducted in order to determine the effects of the Ar+ irradiation on the wear property of a Cr/PI system. A significant increase in the property is observed and the increase appears to be a function of the degree of adhesion of the Cr film to the PI substrate.

    Notes: Deep penetration welding of polymers can be carried out at high speed with relatively low laser power. This results from an efficient coupling CO2 laser radiation to polymers that leads to volume heating. A brief review of energy coupling and heat transfer effects in polymers under CO2 laser welding conditions is given. Some examples of low power (10 to 100 watt) CO2 welding of polypropylene and polyethylene at depths of up to 1.5 cm are discussed.

    Notes: Coat-hanger dies are commonly used for the extrusion of plastic sheets and films. To describe the flow of a molten polymer through a coat-hanger die, a two-dimensional approach is necessary. Moreover, the thermal effects, which play an important role in the flow distribution, have to be taken into account. In this paper, two numerical models for the simulation of coat-hanger dies are described and compared. These models differ mainly in the simplifying assumptions used and in the treatment of the thermal problem. The simulations obtained with the two models were compared with each other and with experimental data. The discrepancies between the two models can be explained by the different theoretical treatments.

    Notes: A general computation of multilayer coextrusion flow in a flat die geometry is presented. For any given number of layers of different polymers, characterized by their thermal and rheological behaviors, the model permits computation of velocity and temperature fields along the flow in constant or slightly varying geometries. The influence of different operating parameters (wall regulation temperature, flow rate, initial temperatures) on the interface positions and temperature evolutions is evaluated. Theoretical predictions of interface positions are in agreement with experiments carried out on an industrial multimanifold flat die.

    Notes: A critical part of any master model used to simulate or control a composite material manufacturing process is the description of resin flow through the fiber bed. We present here a review of both theoretical and experimental studies of fluid flow through porous media, including fiber beds. For the practical porosity range of interest in continuous fiber composites processing (0.3〈 ∊ 〈 0.6), the permeability cannot be accurately described using the Blake-Kozeny-Carman equation, even though the flow is Newtonian at very low Reynold's number. For aligned fiber situations, the Kozeny constant, k, deviates radically from theory, depends on bed nonuniformities, and is only constant over very narrow porosity ranges. Thus, one cannot experimentally determine k at high porosities and use this value to describe low porosity situations. Theoretical attempts, based on perfectly spaced and aligned arrays of cylinders, adequately describe the transverse permeability of ideal fiber beds in the high porosity range, but do not succeed at porosities below 0.6. For axial flow through aligned fiber beds, the theory yields permeabilities much lower than are experimentally observed throughout the entire porosity range. For randomly arranged fibers, random cylinder theory also predicts permeabilities that are significantly lower than are measured.

    Notes: A method is presented for measuring three-dimensional fiber orientation in fiber-reinforced polymers and placing confidence limits on the results. The orientations of individual fibers are determined from the elliptical intersections between the cylindrical fibers and a polished section. This can be done using either manual digitization or automated image analysis. Volume averages for the sample are computed using an orientation-dependent weighting function that corrects for the bias of an area-based sample. Equations are developed for nonuniform fiber lengths, using both number-average and weight-average measures of orientation. Sources of systematic, measurement, and sampling error are discussed and equations for sampling error and the propagation of measurement error are derived. The results use a second-rank tensor to characterize fiber orientation, but the error analysis can be applied to any type of orientation parameter. We implement the technique using manual digitization of optical micrographs. Our implementation accurately measures samples with known orientation, and produces identical results from two perpendicular sections of a glass fiber/nylon injection-molded sample.

    Notes: We have studied the impact strength, by Charpy and Izod tests, of blends of polyamide 6 with different rubbers, 10 wt% of each, or rubbers and glass fibers (8.5 wt% and 15 wt% respectively). The rubbers are from three different families: (i) a nonreactive cross-linked terpolymer, methyl methacrylate/butadiene/styrene (17/64.5/18.5); (ii) two block copolymers compatible with the matrix, poly(tetramethylene glycol)/polamide 12 (70/30 or 34/66); and (iii) two polymers containing reactive functionality, a terpolymer ethylene/ethyl acrylate/maleic anhydride (68/30.5/1.5) and a copolymer ethylene/acrylic acid (90/10). The classification of additives in regard to improved impact depends on the procedure used for the impact strength measurement, particularly on whether the samples are notched or unnotched. The results are discussed in relation to the dimensions and the adhesion of the rubber particles. The level of adhesion has been estimated from observations in scanning electron microscopy of cavities due to pullout nodules and of nonextracted rubber after treatment in boiling xylene. Strong variations in the morphologies are found, depending on the chemical nature of the rubber. The crystalline state of the polyamide in the blends has also been evaluated from differential scanning calorimetry.

    Notes: Sheet composites of polypropylene and poly(ethylene terephthalate) were produced by melt consolidation of alternating layers of polymer films and random glass fiber mats. The composites had a nominal glass content of 50 wt% (∼30 vol%). The sheets were stamped into a complex part from which test specimens were machined, and mechanical properties determined. Flexural strengths as high as 159 MPa were recorded for polypropylene composites and 313 MPa for poly(ethylene terephthalate) composites. The flexural modulus of the polypropylene composites reached 9.1 MPa, whereas the modulus of the stiffest poly(ethylene terephthalate) composite was 15 GPa. The impact properties of the composites were equally high. Polypropylene composites absorbed up to 257 J/cm during an instrumented falling dart impact test. Poly(ethylene terephthalate) composites absorbed as much as 116 J/cm in the same test.

    Notes: The fiber straightening pre-tension applied during the sample preparation of single fiber composites is suggested here to significantly affect the number of fragments as well as the value of the Kelly-Tyson interface shear strength obtained from single filament composite tests. This implies that fragmentation tests performed under seemingly identical conditions, but in which the fiber pre-tension is not accurately controlled during sample preparation, might yield widely differing experimental results. We present and discuss a new set of experimental results dealing with fiber pre-tension effects in carbon/epoxy single fiber composites.

    Notes: Surface-induced transcrystallization in fibers has been reported in some advanced polymer composites. It is believed that transcrystalline interphase may affect stress transfer efficiency between the reinforcing fiber and the matrix. In this study, attempts were made to examine the effects of transcrystallinity on composite performance, particularly on fiber-matrix interfacial bond strength, and to investigate possible attributes of transcrystallization. Three polymer resins, poly(etherketoneketone) (PEKK), poly(etheretherketone) (PEEK), and poly(phenylenesulfide) (PPS), and four types of fiber, polyacrylonitrile (PAN)-based AU-4 (untreated AS-4) carbon, pitch-based carbon, poly (p-phenylene terephthalamide) (PPDT) aramid, and E-glass were used. It was found that PPDT aramid and pitch-based carbon fibers induce a transcrystalline interphase in all three polymers because of an epitaxial effect. Under certain conditions, transcrystallization was also observed in PAN-based carbon and E-glass fibers, which may be partially attributed to the thermal conductivity mismatch between the fiber and the matrix. Plasma treatment on fiber surface showed a negligible effect on inducing transcrystallization, whereas solution-coating of PPDT on the fiber surface showed a positive effect. The Microdebonding test, which measures the interfacial bond strength between the fiber and the matrix, consistently showed more than 40% increments for various single filament systems with transcrystalline interphase versus without. However, the effects of transcrystallinity on the interfacial bond strength appeared to decrease as the fiber content increased in composites.

    Notes: An approach to formulation is presented that is based on a statistical experimental design package for use on a personal computer. The total level of phosphite + hindered phenol, and the ratio of phosphite to hindered phenol are used as experimental variables. The approach was tested on extrusions of polypropylene using melt flow retention and yellowness index as observed variables. A quadratic model gave a satisfactory fit to the data for both variables. Contour plots are presented of the performance of the systems for two commercially available hindered phenols and two polypropylene samples. The largest difference between the resins is in the degree of color generation on extrusion. For both hindered phenols, a resin made using “3rd generation” or “high activity” catalyst gave lowest color development on extrusion. There were also small differences in the response of the melt flow of the resins to phosphite level.

    Notes: The consumption of hot-fillable poly(ethylene terephthalate) bottles is extremely large and is still increasing in Japan. This type of bottle is generally manufactured by the heat-set method using hot molds after stretch-blow molding. In this study, the method is simulated using a setting application in which sheets can be stretched constraining their sizes on a hot aluminum block. The crystallinities of the sheets are found to depend on the thermal history, i.e., the duration and temperature of the heat-set cycle. Heat-setting mitigates thermal-shrinkage of the sheets which is due to the increase in crystallinity or in the tense segments in the amorphous region. The structure of the heat-set sheet varies depending on the original stretched sheet. For a sample of low draw ratio, the crystallinity does not increase because of the heat-set. For a sample of medium draw ratio, the crystallinity increases greatly and the tense segments in the amorphous region also increase because of heat-set. For a sample of high draw ratio, the crystallinity increases a little but the numbers of the crystallite and tense segments in the amorphous region do not change with the heat-set.

    Notes: The dynamic behavior of the solution polymerization of styrene in a continuous stirred tank reactor is analyzed with a mixture of tert-butyl perbenzoate and benzoyl peroxide as an initiator system. In the modeling of the reactor, a viscosity dependent reactor wall heat transfer coefficient is used to account for the changing heat transfer efficiency as monomer conversion and polymer molecular weight increase. The steady state and bifurcation behaviors have been investigated with the reactor residence time, initiator feed composition, initiator concentration, feed solvent volume fraction, and coolant temperature as bifurcation parameters. Unlike the reactors with constant heat transfer coefficient, the present system exhibits relatively simple steady state and dynamic bifurcation behaviors. Oscillatory behavior is observed only when the solvent volume fraction in the feed exceeds 0.2. The dynamic simulation of the reactor also indicates that a feedback temperature controller may fail to maintain the reactor temperature when the heat transfer coefficient changes as a result of process disturbances.

    Notes: Thin microtomed samples from hot-tool butt welds of polypropylene pipes are subjected to uniaxial tensile stress using a specially built instrumented microtesting machine. The deformation of the interface between the weld and the bulk polymer is measured by an optical method. An analysis of these measurements is carried out using the finite element method, and contours of the effective stress are obtained. There is a steep stress gradient at the junction of the weld flash and the bulk polymer, although the stress concentration factor is relatively low. The stress is essentially constant in the bulk polymer apart from the region near the weld zone. Tests on samples without the weld flash show that the maximum stress occurs within the weld zone. This is consistent with long-term tests on larger samples, where the fracture is found to initiate within the weld. The method of analysis enables the stress-strain response of the weld material to be determined.

    Notes: Ultrasonic welding of oriented polypropylene (OPP) using tie-layer materials has been examined. The thermal cycle at the joint interface was evaluated using a high speed data acquisition system, and concurrent changes in horn displacement (penetration) and the output power were monitored. The model explaining process operation involves four phases, i.e., I-where heating occurs because of the stresses generated in asperities on the contacting surfaces; II-where the whole tie-layer reaches the melting point; III-where the polymer melt is subjected to intense heating from viscous dissipation and is squeezed out; and IV-where the joint cools after welding. In the early stages of ultrasonic welding the heat generated at asperities on the contacting surfaces leads to melting of the tie-layer/oriented polypropylene interface within 50 ms. The tie-layer heats up because of a combination of viscoelastic dissipation and heat conduction from the oriented polypropylene/tie-layer interface, and the rate of temperature rise at the midline of the tie-layer is in the range 200°/s to 400°/s. The reduction in thickness of the test specimens (penetration) is negligible up to the time when the tie-layer melts completely, and then changes rapidly when the melted polymer at the joint interface is squeezed out. The influence of machine parameters (amplitude and contact pressure) and of tie-layer Melt Flow Index is also examined. The total time required for completion of the welding process decreases when the amplitude and applied pressure are increased. The use of low Melt Flow Index tie-layers produces peak temperature as high as 600° at the bondline, and little material is ejected during the ultrasonic welding operation.

    Notes: This work presents an analytical technique to describe the orientation behavior of short fibers in arbitrary two-dimensional homogeneous flows. It is shown that the fiber orientation, specified by a unit vector, can be analytically calculated at any instant using any initial orientation and flow kinematics. The rotation of a fiber with the bulk fluid deformation is expressed in terms of orientation vector components by utilizing an equivalent strain tensor calculated from the fluid kinematics. This technique is then used to evaluate the orientation behavior of a large number of fibers starting from different initial orientations, representing an orientation state. The orientation distribution function is generated statistically by considering the frequency distribution curve of the orientation of the large number of fibers. It is shown that using a combination of analytical solutions and statistical methods provides a convenient description of fiber orientation behavior. The accuracy of the generated orientation distribution function is found to be dependent on the number of fibers used in the analytical solution. The statistical orientation distribution function is compared with the exact solutions for certain homogeneous flows and found to be in close agreement.

    Notes: A commercial epoxy resin, consisting of a mixture of diepoxides based on diglycidyl ether of bisphenol-A (DGEBA) and containing an epoxidized polypropylene glycol as reactive diluent, was characterized by 1HNMR, FTIR, SEC, and chemical analysis. The kinetics of the cure with ethylenediamine (EDA) was catalyzed by the (OH) groups present in a large amount in the commercial formulation. A second order kinetic behavior gave an accurate fitting of results obtained by different experimental techniques (DSC in dynamic and isothermal modes and SEC in the pregel stage). The activation energy was E = 59.1 kJ/mol (14.1 kcal/mol), in very close agreement with values reported for the catalytic mechanism of the DGEBA-EDA polymerization. From the gel conversion and the critical stoichiometric ratio for samples containing an epoxy excess it was found that the average functionality of epoxidized species was f = 1.58.

    Notes: Elastic moduli of injection molded blends of polycarbonate with poly(styrene-co-acrylonitrile) (SAN) have been obtained at temperatures between the glass transition temperatures of the two components. When compared with compression molded blends as a function of composition, the moduli were found to differ by as much as a factor of three at intermediate compositions. The variations are ascribed to differences in connectivity between minor component particles. The morphologies of these materials have been modeled using percolation concepts to quantify continuity of the individual phases. The effects of phase continuity resulting from composition as well as dispersed phase shape differences were evaluated. It was found that shape per se has only a minor effect on percolation. However, shape as reflected in the size of dispersed particles relative to the extent of the domain in which they reside is primary for developing a model for continuity of the phases. An empirical relation for percolation in finite domains was devised from Monte Carlo simulations. Modulus values calculated from these continuity considerations agree well with the observed data.

    Notes: The morphology, rheology, and mechanical properties of blends of polysulfone (PSF) with up to 65% of a wholly aromatic liquid crystalline polymer (LCP) were investigated. In injection molded specimens a skin-core morphology was observed with the LCP minor phase oriented in the skin and globular in the core. Scanning electron microscopy of fractured surfaces showed sharp phase boundaries, suggesting low interfacial adhesion. The neat PSF and blends with low amounts of LCP exhibited a low shear Newtonian plateau not observed in the blends with high LCP levels. The addition of LCP to PSF resulted in an increase in stiffness, a small increase in tensile strength, and a significant improvement in processability.

    Influence of reprocessing on the mechanical properties of a commercial polysulfone/polycarbonate blend (1992)

    Notes: Commercial polysulfone/polycarbonate (PSU/PC) polymer blends were reprocessed up to five times to determine the influence that reprocessing has on their structure and physical properties. All the high strain properties, mainly ductility, significantly decreased under harsh processing conditions, such as five cycles at 320°C. The results of reprocessing the blends at 320°C have been compared with results at a lower temperature and also with those of the separate components with the aim of clarifying the origin of the degradation. These results plus Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), dynamic mechanical analysis, and melt flow index measurements (MFI) indicate that the presence of the two polymers together clearly decreases the resistance to degradation of each component. Moreover, degradation under the stated conditions is mainly thermal and does not change the chemical nature of the blends. However, a clear decrease in molecular weight was observed both by viscosimetry and MFI measurements as was a shift to higher temperatures of the low temperature secondary transition of both PC and PSU. Both molecular weight and secondary transition changes usually deteriorate mechanical properties but not in the degree observed here. This probably means that the fine and difficult-to-observe structure of the blend has also changed.

    Blends of polycarbonate with poly(methyl methacrylate): Miscibility, phase continuity, and interfacial adhesion (1992)

    Notes: Dynamic mechanical thermal analysis (DMTA), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) concurrently show that polycarbonate (PC)/poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) blends have a two-phase structure. The differences between the Tgs of parent polymers and the Tgs of conjugate phases, determined by both DMTA and DSC, indicate a limited miscibility of components and allow the approximate composition of conjugate phases to be calculated. The Flory-Huggins interaction parameter calculated by using these data assumes values about 0.035 ± 0.010. Phase inversion occurs in an interval close to the 50/50 composition, though the molar masses and melt viscosities of the polymers were rather different. Partial miscibility of components ensures interfacial adhesion capable of sustaining the stress transfer between phases up to fracture. Yield stress of the blends is very close to values foreseen by the rule of mixtures. A specific feature of the blends studied is that the addition of 10 to 20 vol% of PMMA to PC increases the strain at break and work to fracture, which are rather low for the PC used. The enhanced capability of the blends to absorb mechanical energy is probably linked to plastic deformation of the dispersed PMMA.

    Notes: In this work, blends of polycarbonate and a high density polyethylene were investigated through their morphology, mechanical properties, and the effect of compatibilizers: a copolymer styrene-butadiene-styrene and an ionomer. Blending was performed in the melt state at 220°C, and the concentration of the compatibilizers was varied from 1% to 5% by weight. In the case of the copolymer modified blend, the results showed no change in the mechanical properties compared to the neat blend, whereas the morphology showed that the copolymer might interact with only one phase. For the ionomer, the addition of 1% increased the Young's modulus and the tensile strength of the blend. For the morphology, a large change in the size of the dispersed phase (polyethylene) is observed. This was attributed to the compatibility of the ethylene group of the ionomer with the minor phase, and the reaction between the carbonate group of polycarbonate (PC) and the acid group of the ionomer. An investigation on the binary blends of PC and the ionomer showed the occurrence of a chemical reaction that might be of a transesterification type. Differential scanning calorimetry and Fourier transform infrared techniques were used to characterize these blends.

    Notes: The melt flow index and oxidation induction period of low-density polyethylene crosslinked with dicumyl peroxide (DCP) in the presence of tetrakis (methylene β-3, 5-di-butyl-4-hydroxypheny1)-propionate methane (Antioxidant 1010) were determined. The results suggest that there is a negative synergism between this crosslinking agent and antioxindant. Part of the antioxidant terminated the chain propagation by trapping radicals, and thus reduced the efficiency of crosslinking. The antioxidant efficiency was also reduced owing to meaningless consumption.

    Notes: Fractography has been used in the post-failure analysis of single edge notched specimens of injection molded blends of polycarbonate (PC) and acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene terpolymer (ABS). The mode of ductile tensile fracture of single edge notched specimens depended on comosition. Plane stress shear tearing was observed in the composition range PC/ABS 90/10 to 70/30 by weight where PC was the continuous phase. Intermediate compositions, PC/ABS 60/40 to 40/60, had a co-continuous or almot co-continuous phase morphology; these blends fractured by mixed mode pop-in, where a tunneling center crack relieved the triaxiality and permitted plane stress shear lips to form near the edges. Herringbone fracture, a plane strain mode characterized by discontinuous crack growth, was observed when ABS was the continuous phase, PC/ABS 30/70 to 10/90. An S-shaped relationship was observed between the ductile-to-brittle transition temperature and the composition. Addition of ABS to PC increased ductility up to PC/ABS 70/30 and 60/40, which were the most ductile compositions. Further addition of ABS decreased the ductility, and the least ductile compositions were PC/ABS 30/70 and 10/90.

    Notes: A finite element algorithm developed previously has been successfully extended to the study of nonlinear time-dependent problems. Nonlinear viscoelastic and viscoplastic models have been used to study the time-dependent deformation and failure of high density polyethylene (HDPE). Two classes of nonlinear models have been identified; those that allow stress redistribution with time under specified traction boundary conditions, and those that do not. The implications of using viscoelastic vs. viscoplastic models, as well as the specific mathematical form of the constitutive equations selected for use, have been studied. Strains predicted using the FE algorithm have been compared with experimental measurements for (i) a HDPE plate with a hole and (ii) a double edge notch HDPE specimen, both under remote tension. Excellent agreement was obtained between numerical predictions and the experimental values.

Initial results suggested a large effect of thickness as the crack propagation rates were accelerated in the thicker samples and the stress dependence was also increased. Since the calculated thickness for a plane stress to plane strain transition in nylon 66 is 9.0 mm, it was thought that these results were related to the stress state at the crack tip. However, a more thorough study of the thicker plaques has now demonstrated that neither the magnitude nor the stress dependence of the fatigue crack growth rates is necessarily changed under plane strain conditions as similar results can be obtained for thick and thin plaques. It is suggested that the earlier results were confounded by a previously unrecognized processing history effect which does accelerate fatigue fracture. The latter effect is shown by thermal analysis and optical microscopy to be related to a rearrangement of the polymer network during melt processing.

    Notes: Fatigue crack propagation rates in injection molded nylon 66 were previously shown to be strongly affected by prior processing history. To provide a physical basis for the observed acceleration in crack growth rates, microtomed sections were cut through the tips of stable fatigue cracks and examined by optical microscopy. A reduction in spherulite size occurs with reprocessing along with an accompanying decrease in the amount of deformation at the crack tip. For the initially processed nylon 66 this deformation consists of a vast array of independently initiated craze-like zones. Patchy type regions observed on the fatigue fracture surface are similar in size to the initially formed crazed zones. Crack advance occurs by the breakdown and coalescence of the crazed regions via matrix shearing. The extensive damage zone is believed to result in a reduction in stress intensity at the crack tip thereby reducing the crack propagation rates. For the reprocessed nylon 66, one observes fewer crazes and a sharper fatigue crack tip with a consequent acceleration in crack propagation rates and a smoother fracture surface.

    Notes: Brittle failure, a significant design issue for plastic components subject to impact loads, is especially catastrophic when the material is normally ductile. Such behavior is not adequately understood relative to the micromechanisms, controlling parameters, and design consequences in plastics. Previous work has identified the process of crazing as being relevant to these failures in thermoplastics. The relationship between crazes generated through mechanical loading and subsequent brittle failure of amorphous thermoplastics is discussed and the hypothesis that the craze event is a necessary but insufficient condition for brittle failure is employed. Emphasis is focused upon the engineering prediction of craze formation and its use as a conservative brittle failure criteria for defining geometric details to prevent brittle failure. First, a series of experiments using one geometry is applied to study the concept of crazing as a precursor to brittle fracture in the two amorphous polymers polycarbonate and polyetherimide. Second, three-dimensional finite element analyses are used to assess the effects of changes in geometric detail upon the continuum stress state and eventual failure of the specimen for these two materials.

    Notes: The compressive-stress strain response of polyurethane foam under uniaxial compressive impact loading has been studied. The development of a uniaxial constitutive model from strain rate controlled compression tests is detailed. Density and temperature functions have been added to the integral power model proposed by Schwaber, Meincke, and Nagy. The model assumes that the effects of density, temperature, strain and strain rate on stress are separable functions. The model correlated well with actual static compression tests and was used successfully to predict the impact response of energy absorbing polyurethane foam under uniaxial compressive loading.

The process variables investigated include evacuation rate, sheet surface temperature, mold temperature, and material slip over the mold surface. The experimental data presented include, in addition to thicknesses, sheet surface temperature obtained via infrared thermography. A finite element program to model the vacuum-forming process is discussed, and the wall thickness distribution predicted by this program for a vacuum-formed part is compared with the results of the experiments.

    The effect of cyclic stress on the physical properties of a poly(dimethylsiloxane) elastomer (1992)

    Notes: The dynamic creep behavior of a filled poly(dimethylsiloxane) elastomer was studied under cyclic stress. The stress level was chosen such that the increase in the internal temperature was small and that microcracks were not observed. This work has demonstrated that cyclic stress in combination with high temperature accelerates the degradation of the elastomer. The results suggest that because of the applied force, breaks in the load-bearing chains of the network occur. These breaks, while relieving the mechanical stress, create highly reactive ionic fragments. It is believed that because of the subsequent reactions of the ionic fragments, changes in the specific gravity, storage modulus, effective crosslink density, and length of the sample (creep) are observed. The observed decrease in the storage modulus is thought to occur because of the reaction of the ionic fragments with moisture, which results in the formation of silanol chain ends that reduce the effective crosslink density. The results also show that contrary to the prediction of the Boltzmann's Superposition Principle, the rate of creep is greatly enhanced when the sample is subjected to a sinusoidally varying dynamic load as compared to a comparable static load. The polymer weight loss was found to be linear with time and strongly dependent on the level of applied dynamic and static force. In addition, the weight loss and rate of creep were also found to be strongly dependent upon temperature.

    Notes: Interest in the development of polymeric materials for high temperature, electronic and microelectronic applications has led to an increasing number of new polymers. Many of these polymers have complex organic ring structures and semirigid backbones, characteristics that have posed some difficulties for structural analysis. The purpose of this paper is to test and compare two practical nondestructive optical techniques, polarized optical microscopy and polarized refractometry, for the determination of three-dimensional surface and bulk anisotropy in these advanced materials. The optical techniques are first tested on a series of optically homogeneous uniaxially oriented isotactic polypropylene films and then applied to the analysis of high refractive index Kapton (PMDA-ODA) polyimide films. The study includes a test of the validity of the compensator method, including the effect of fringe jumping, the use of polymer retarders, and the tilting technique of Stein.

    Notes: Polymer coatings are widely used to protect glass from indentation damage. A model for the strength degradation that occurs when a sharp indenter penetrates through the coating is developed by accounting for the indentation load shared by the coating and substrate. This model accounts for the additional load supported by the coating due to the pile-up of coating material underneath the indenter. The model predicts the strength degradation as a function of indentation load, coating and substrate hardnesses, and coating thickness. Comparison of the model to experimental data for a wide range of polymer coatings (two epoxies, epoxy acrylate, and urethane acrylate) on soda-lime glass substrates shows good agreement.

    Notes: Novolak resins provide the best overall performance for “g” and “i”-line photoresists. There is a continuing need for advanced novolak designs that will provide improved lithographic, thermal, and etch characteristics that may be reproducibly synthesized. A novolak synthesis process was developed using the solution condensation technique. Cresol mixtures with m-cresol and 3,5-xylenol at specific ratios provide reproducible novolaks with controlled molecular weights. In order to achieve high thermal and etch performance, while retaining photospeed and resolution characteristics, three basic approaches were investigated: (1) increase in molecular weight, which produces novolaks with Tg ranging from 120 to 130°C with relatively slow dissolution rates; (2) incorporation of multi-hydroxyphenols such as resorcinol to tailor the dissolution rate, resolution, thermal, etch, and adhesion characteristics; (3) partial esterification of multi-hydroxy novolaks giving a Tg range of 140 to 150°C. Lithographic evaluation of the novolak resins was performed by formulating with a 2,1,4-diazonaphthoquinone (DNQ) sensitizer. Results on resin synthesis, molecular weights, lithographic, thermal, and etch characteristics are discussed.

    Notes: The quantum yield for acid generation from alkyl and arylsulfonic acid esters of pyrogallol was measured in resist films composed of a sulfonate, tBOC-BA, and novolak resin. It was found that the quantum yield increases with decreasing molecular size of the sulfonyl group, which can explain the differences in sensitivity of the resist systems. Methanesulfonic acid esters of various phenol derivatives were synthesized to see the effect of backbone structure on the efficiency of acid generation. The sensitivity measurement of resists containing these sulfonates indicates that the number of sulfonyloxy groups bonded to a benzene ring is important. The higher number of the sulfonyloxy groups gives a higher efficiency of acid generation.

    Notes: The multiple interference effect is one of the major causes of the fluctuation in critical dimension control (CD) and in mark detection for alignment. Suppressing this effect is critical for future photolithography. We propose a new photolithography technique called anti reflective coating on resist (ARCOR), which improves linewidth accuracy and overlay accuracy by suppressing multiple interference. ARCOR consists of relatively simple processes: A clear antireflective film is spun onto the resist prior to the mark detecting for alignment and exposure. The film is subsequently removed and the resist developed in the conventional way. ARCOR differs from ARC, which suppresses the reflection at the resist/substrate interface. ARCOR suppresses the reflection at the air/resist interface. ARCOR allows mark detection and exposure without light intensity-loss and multiple interference. The experiments mainly examine polysiloxane and perfluoroalkylpolyether as ARCOR materials. It is shown that linewidth accuracy can be improved from 0.3 to 0.03 μm. The signal-to-noise ratio of the alignment signal is drastically improved, and the overlay error is about half that of the conventional method. ARCOR is also effective for directly measuring the reflectivity at the resist/substrate interface, which is a key parameter of the multiple interference effect and the halation. Using ARCOR and a thin resist film, the measured ratio of reflected light to incident light indicates the reflectivity at the resist/substrate interface. Because, the probe light does not reflect off the resist surface and the intensity-loss at the resist surface is suppressed. With perfluoroalkylpolyether film, the measurement error is ∼ 1.5%.

    Notes: Orbital space structures are required to be lightweight, have high specific stiffness, have near-zero coefficient of thermal expansion, exhibit low outgassing, and be cost-effective. Graphite-reinforced thermoplastics have the potential to satisfy the criteria noted. However, prior to committing the materials to specific projects, technology demonstration and risk reduction is necessary. In order to demonstrate the application of fiber-reinforced thermoplastic composites for truss structure applications, a graphite-reinforced poly(ether ether ketone) (PEEK) composite tetrahedron truss array was designed and manufactured. The resulting structure clearly demonstrated that fiber-reinforced thermoplastic composites are a viable alternative to epoxy composites for orbital structures.

The mechanism of the degradation process is suggested based on shear and flexural property measurements at room temperature and 316°C, optical micrographs of composite cross sections, and SEM analysis of fractured surfaces. The fiber materials investigated in composite form were Celion 6000 unsized and epoxy sized. G40-700 unsized and epoxy sized, and T40R and IM6 both unsized.

    Notes: Recently, we reported on the interpenetrating polyimide network (IPN) approach to develop tough and microcracking resistant high temperature matrix resins for use in aircraft/aerospace structural components. One such polymer developed is designated LaRC-RP40. This new simultaneous semi-IPN was prepared from easy-to-process but brittle crosslinking PMR-15 and tough but difficult-to-process linear NR-150B2. Significantly improved toughness, microcracking resistance, and glass transition temperature over PMR-15 were realized from the combination. These property improvements were achieved without compromising ease of processing, high temperature mechanical performance, and cost effectiveness compared to PMR-15. These results encouraged us to further explore this approach for the development of a wider range of polymers of basic technological and economic interest. In the present work, we combine crosslinking PMR-15 and linear LaRC-TPI to provide a new sequential semi-2-IPN called LaRC-RP41. The physical and mechanical properties of the neat resin and composite reinforced with graphite fibers are presented. The phase morphology and phase stability of the neat resin and composite studied by various techniques are also discussed.

    Notes: The mechanical properties of three dimensional stitched composites were compared against those of the traditional two dimensional laminates. An attempt was made to correlate the change in properties to the change in the third directional fiber density. Tests conducted were the impact, three-point bending, damage tolerance, end notched flexure, and bending fatigue test. The results of these tests show that the third directional fibers can effectively inhibit delamination by increasing the interlaminar shear strength. Three dimensional composites also possess better damage tolerance, fracture toughness, and fatigue life. However, a high stitching density can degrade the in-plane properties of the composites.

    Notes: Research has been conducted to investigate the water absorption in carbon fiber reinforced poly(ether ether ketone) (PEEK/CF) and poly(phenylene sulfide) composites (PPS/CF). Effect of humidity and temperature on tensile, flexural, and impact strength of these composites were also studied. Results indicated that the water absorbed in PPS/CF and PEEK/CF are 0.059 %wt, 0.130 %wt, 0.138 %wt, and 0.153 %wt at 80°C. 75 %RH and 85 %RH, respectively. The diffusion process is a classical Fickian diffusion in the temperature range investigated. The activation energies of diffusion are 667 cal/g-mole (for PPS/CF) and 8934 cal/g-mole (for PEEK/CF) at 80°C and 75 %RH. The retention of mechanical properties of these composites is very good under hot-wet conditions. These composite materials can be served as high performance materials even in the hostile environment. PEEK/CF composites shows excellent mechanical properties retention even at 80°C, 75 %RH, and 85 %RH.

    Notes: A feasibility study on the use of vibration spectrum analysis as a tool for nondestructive evaluation (NDE) of polymer composites was conducted. Material integrity of polymer composite samples was determined from the vibrational measurements by analyzing the resonant frequency and damping information. A number of important “states” in the composites tested could be characterized by this analysis. The vibration tehnique was found to be sensitive to physical flawing (fiber breakage, delamination, and matrix cracking). Vibrational NDE has many potential advantages that make it very attractive for composite applications. These include the ability to make global measurements of large structures in real-time, no geometry restrictions, and high sensitivity to a wide variety of damage states.

    Notes: Resin transfer molding (RTM) of advanced fiber architecture materials promises to be a cost effective process for obtaining composite parts with exceptional strength. However there are a larger number of material processing parameters that must be observed, known, and/or controlled during the resin transfer molding process. These include the viscosity both during impregnation and cure. In-situ sensors which can observe these processing properties within the RTM tool during the fabrication process are essential. This paper will discuss recent work on the use of frequency dependent electromagnetic sensing (FDMS) techniques to monitor these properties in the RTM tool. Our objective is to use these sensing techniques to address problems of RTM scaleup for large complex parts and to develop a closed loop, intelligent, sensor controlled RTM fabrication process.

    A new receptor model: A direct trilinear decomposition followed by a matrix reconstruction (1992)

    Notes: In many cases, monitoring data for ambient airborne particles can be organized in the form of a three-way data table with one way for chemical species, one for sampling periods and one for sites. A direct trilinear decomposition followed by a matrix reconstruction (DTDMR) is developed to analyze such a data table as a whole. The three-way data set is composed into three two-way matrices by a direct trilinear decomposition (DTD). The column vectors of each of the matrices are called ‘source profiles’, ‘emission patterns’ and ‘site coefficients’ respectively. Particulate sources are identified by examining both their source profiles and emission patterns. After the sources have been identified, emission patterns and site coefficients are used to produce a three-way matrix that gives estimates of mass contributions of sources to the samples collected at every site in every period. By simulation study, not only has the method been verified, but a good indicator has been found that shows the number of factors (i.e. sources) in the system. Unlike other receptor models, DTDMR does not require source profile data and does not involve trial-and-error procedures. Since DTDMR identifies sources based on variations in two dimensions, it has a higher potential to distinguish two sources that have similar chemical compositions. The DTDMR model has provided excellent results with simulated data and has been applied in a real world three-way data set.

    Notes: Modern scanning (near-)infrared reflectance/absorption (NIR) spectroscopes measure the absorptions or reflectances at a sequence of around 1000 wavelengths. Training data may consist of 10-100 carefully designed sample mixtures for which the true composition of the mixture is either known by formulation or accurately determined by wet chemistry. In future one wishes to predict the true composition from the spectrum. In this paper we compare a simple wavelength selection approach with methods which retain all the wavelengths. It offers a powerful yet simple technique for choosing those wavelengths that are specific to each pure component as against the other components (including the medium) for the varying compositions. In the presence of a defined range of ingredients in thus chooses wavelengths which are highly selective for each particular component. It has the added advantage of selecting wavelengths which are little effected by interaction effects and consequent non-linearities.The calibration data used consist of 125 observations of three sugars, each varying at five levels in a full 53 design. The validation set consists of 21 further samples specially selected to have compositions outside the range of the training sample. The selection methods perform much better on this prediction set than methods which retain all the wavelengths, 700 in this case. The leave-one-out cross-validation internal to the calibration data would point to the opposite finding and suggests that such crossvalidations may be overly flattering to techniques such as partial least squares and may encourage overfitting. After selection, simple straightforward least squares methods may be used, eschewing the need for ‘shrinkage’ methods such as partial least squares or ridge regression.

    Notes: With the goal of understanding global chemical processes, environmental chemists have some of the most complex sample analysis problems. Multivariate calibration is a tool that can be applied successfully in many situations where traditional univariate analyses cannot. The purpose of this paper is to review multivariate calibration, with an emphasis being placed on the developments in recent years. The inverse and classical models are discussed briefly, with the main emphasis on the biased calibration methods. Principal component regression (PCR) and partial least squares (PLS) are discussed, along with methods for quantitative and qualitative validation of the calibration models. Non-linear PCR, non-linear PLS and locally weighted regression are presented as calibration methods for non-linear data. Finally, calibration techniques using a matrix of data per sample (second-order calibration) are discussed briefly.

    Notes: Real-time monitoring of pollutant levels from a mobile measuring platform requires fast, flexible data analysis methods. This paper reports a method for rapid analysis of passive remotely sensed infrared data with the aid of a Kalman filter. The background spectra produced by emission from the atmosphere are modelled at the start of the data collection sequence with a simple principal components model obtained by eigenanalysis of the initial ‘blank’ data taken with the spectrometer. The species of interest are included in the state space model by a separate measurement of their infrared spectra. It is demonstrated that for best filter performance in detecting the simulated pollutant species SF6 in the atmosphere, a filter model with two principal components describing the emission background works best. The filter ‘maps’ of SF6 closely follow the integrated spectral intensities measured after removal of suitable backgrounds.

    Notes: Principal component analysis is used to examine large multivariate databases. The graphical approach to exploratory data analysis is described and illustrated with a single example of chemical composition data obtained on environmental dust particles. While the graphical approach to exploratory data analysis has certain advantages over the numerical procedures, the empirical approach described here should be viewed as complementary to the more robust treatments that statistical methodologies afford.

    Notes: The statistical analysis of compositional data is of fundamental importance to practitioners in general and to chemists in particular. The existing methodology is principally due to Aitchison, who effectively uses two transformations, a ratio followed by the logarithmic, to create a useful, coherent theory that in principle allows the plethora of normal-based multivariate techniques to be used on the transformed data. This paper suggests that the well-known class of Box-Cox transformations can be employed in place of the logarithmic to significantly improve the existing methodology. This is supported in part by showing that one of the most basic problems that Aitchison managed to overcome, namely the specification of an interpretable covariance structure for compositional data, can be resolved, or nearly resolved, once the ratio transformation has been applied. Hence the resolution is not directly dependent on the logarithmic transformation. It is then verified that access to the general Box-Cox family will allow a more accurate use of the normal-based multivariate techniques, simply because better fits to normality can be achieved. Finally, maximum likelihood estimation and some associated asymptotics are employed to construct confidence intervals for ratios of the true, unknown compositional constituents. Heretofore this had not been done even in the context of the logarithmic transformation. Applications to real data are presented.

    Notes: Multivariate outliers in environmental data sets are often caused by atypical measurement error in a single variable. From a quality assurance perspective it is important to identify these variables efficiently so that corrective actions may be performed. We demonstrate a procedure for using two multivariate tests to identify which variable ‘caused’ each outlier. The procedure is tested with simulated data sets have have the same correlation structure as selected water chemistry variables from a survey of lakes in the Western United States. The success rates are evaluated for three of the variables for sample sizes of 50 and 100, significance levels of 0.01 and 0.05 and various amounts of mean shift. The procedure works best for highly correlated variables.

    Notes: The object of this paper is to develop a suitable statistical procedure to evaluate clean-up standards at hazardous waste sites. Under the assumptions that contaminant masses at a site follow a gamma distribution and that the data from the pre-remediation baseline sample as well as from the interim or final sample taken after a certain period of operation are both distributed as gamma with the same shape parameter but different scale parameters, we derive a uniformly most powerful unbiased test of the hypothesis that a specified percentage of contaminant mass has been reduced. A large-sample approximation of the exact test procedure and a comparison with the likelihood ratio test are provided.

    The quality of mean and variance estimates for normal and lognormal data when the underlying distribution is misspecified (1991)
    New York, NY : Wiley-Blackwell
    Journal of Chemometrics 5 (1991), S. 263-271 
    Details
    ISSN: 0886-9383
    Keywords: Mean ; Variance ; Lognormal ; Optimal estimators ; Chemistry ; Analytical Chemistry and Spectroscopy

    Topics: Chemistry and Pharmacology
    Notes: Theoretical and simulation results are employed to evaluate mean and variance estimates for normal data when a lognormal distribution is assumed and for lognormal data when a normal distribution is assumed. Misspecifying the distribution leads to the use of suboptimal estimation methods. However, the results show that the suboptimal methods still produce estimators of good quality (low bias and variance) relative to the minimum variance unbiased estimators for each distribution, at least when practical efficiency is considered.

    Notes: Correspondence analysis (CA) was applied to lakewater data in order to study the effects of acidic deposition on the geochemical composition of lakes in the Adirondacks. The lake chemistry data analyzed were taken from the Eastern Lake Survey - Phase I (ELS-I) conducted by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. CA was used to identify ‘outlying’ lake samples as well as ‘superflous’ and ‘unresolved’ analytes. Correlational relationship among analytes were also examined.

    Estimation of errors in absorbance ratio measurements (1991)
    New York, NY : Wiley-Blackwell
    Journal of Chemometrics 5 (1991), S. 291-298 
    Details
    ISSN: 0886-9383
    Keywords: Absorbance ratio ; Statistical confidence ; Quality control ; Chemistry ; Analytical Chemistry and Spectroscopy

    Topics: Chemistry and Pharmacology
    Notes: Ratio measurements are commonly used to address a variety of analytical problems in environmental, forensic and pharmaceutical laboratories. In absorbance ratioing techniques, analytical chemists rely on the spectral features of the analyte(s) of interest. The absorbances at two wavelengths are monitored and the ratio of these two absorbances is computed. This ratio is then used to confirm the identity of the analyte(s) of interest, the purity of a product of the overlap of chromatographic peaks. These decisions often have far-reaching consequences (e.g. the identification of the source, biogenic or petrogenic, of hydrocarbons in biological tissues or water). Given the cost and the liabilities associated with such decisions, it is unfortunate that these ratios are seldom reported with any statistical confidence. The purpose of this study is to delineate the parameters that affect absorbance ratio measurements. The models that can be used to estimate the statistical confidence in these measurements are derived and evaluated experimentally. The results show that these models can estimate the relative standard deviations in absorbance ratios accurately. They can also estimate the effect of signal-to-noise ratio and the choice of wavelengths on the precision of absorbance ratios.

    Notes: Techniques for testing for and estimating relative bias between two laboratories are developed and applied to a survey of the chemistry of streams in the United States. The design of the quality assurance program allows estimation of linear corrections for bias as well as testing of the hypothesis of linearity. Designs of this type are useful, but improvements are suggested.

    On confidence intervals for the product of three means of three normally distributed populations (1991)
    New York, NY : Wiley-Blackwell

    Notes: In many environmental applications, such as exposure assessment and risk modelling, the desired estimate is a random variable computed as the product of three independently distributed random variables. These variables may not necessarily have the same mean and variance. The method for finding the 100(1 - α)% confidence interval for the mean of the product random variable has been proposed by some practitioners as the product of the 100(1 - α)% confidence interval of the three means. In this paper we show that the distribution of the product of three independent normal variables is not normal. We find the mean and variance of the product distribution. Further, we show that although the mean of the product is equal to the product of the means, the product of the three confidence intervals is not a good approximation of the confidence intervals for the mean of the product variable. The confidence interval of the mean of the product variable may be estimated by computer simulation. An algorithm for estimating the confidence interval for the mean of the product random variable is given. The program implementing this algorithm is given as an appendix.
