    Notes: A mathematical model has been developed to predict radial temperature gradients in polymers during dielectric heating. The time-temperature model includes parameters for rate of dielectric heating, thermal conductivity, density, heat capacity, surface coefficient of heat transfer, and sample radius. The application of this model was checked experimentally on a 2-in. cylinder of cured polyisoprene.

    Notes: A crosslinked epoxy resin consisting of a 60/40 weight ratio of Epon 815 and Versamid 140 and composites of this material with glass beads, unidirectional glass fibers and air (foams) were tested in tension, compression and flexure to determine the effect of time and temperature on the elastic properties, yield properties and modes of failure. Unidirectional continuous fiber-filled samples were tested at different fiber orientation angles with respect to the stress axis. Strain rates ranged from 10-4 to 10 in./in.-min and the temperature from -1 to 107°C.Isotherms of tangent modulus versus strain rate were shifted to form master modulus curves. The moduli of the filled composites and the foams were predictable over the entire strain rate range. It was concluded that the time-temperature shift factors for tangent moduli and the time-temperature shift factors for stress relaxation were identical and were independent of the type and concentration of filler as well as the mode of loading.The material was found to change from a brittle-to-ductile-to-rubbery failure mode with the transition temperatures being a function of strain rate, filler content, filler type and fiber orientation angle, indicating that the transition is perhaps dependent on the state of stress.In the ductile region, an approximately linear relationship between yield stress and log strain is evident in all cases. The isotherms of yield stress versus log strain rate were shifted to form a practically linear master plot that can be used to predict the yield stress of the composites at any temperature and strain rate in the ductile region. The time-temperature shift factors for yielding were found to be independent of the type, concentration and orientation of filler and the mode of loading. Thus, the composite shift factors seem to be a property of the matrix and not dependent on the state of stress. The compressive-to-tensile yield stress ratio was practically invariant with strain rate for the unfilled matrix, while fillers and voids raised this ratio and caused it to increase with a decrease in strain rate. The yield strain of the composites is less than the unfilled matrix and is a function of fiber orientation and strain rate.

    Notes: A theoretical model for melting in plasticating extruders is described. Compared to previous models, this model introduces more accurate and less restrictive assumptions, adds a mass balance on the entire channel, and replaces certain approximate solutions by exact solutions. Flow of the solid bed is represented by a solid bed acceleration parameter, SBAP, which permits solid bed acceleration in a screw compression section. New experimental melting data for a variety of screw designs, polymers, and extruder sizes are presented and compared to the theoretical predictions. With the optimum SBAP, reasonably accurate model prediction of the melting profiles is observed for a wide variety of cases.

    Notes: A torsional pendulum which operates throughout the temperature range  -  180° ⇄ +650°C, and permits the examination of specimens which conform to ASTM standard D2236 is reported. The same apparatus is used for torsional braid analyses for which a composite specimen is prepared by impregnating a multifilament glass braid with a solution of polymer and thermally removing the solvent. A linear-with-angle no-drag optical transducer which employs the linear transmission region of a pair of polarizers is described. The apparatus has been used for examining thermo-hysteresis effects in polymers. Hysteresis can arise in polymers from physical time-dependent phenomena such as crystallization ⇄ fusion, dry atmosphere ⇄ water vapor, annealing ⇄ cracking, and from chemical reactions. Thermally-induced chemical reactions can be regulated so as to freeze out preferentially longer range relaxations, thereby extending the glassy state behavior to higher temperatures. A comparison of the thermomechanical behavior of a commercially available polyimide film and of a polyimideforming varnish is reported using torsional pendulum and torsional braid analyses.

    Notes: Glass-reinforced thermoplastics are being considered in many structural applications and fabricators require design information on these materials. Basic creep data are, in many cases, the most useful for design purposes. The work reported here concerns the development of methods of increasing our efficiency in generating creep data. The methods developed are applicable to polypropylene and coupled, glass-reinforced polypropylene. A stress-time superposition procedure has been found valid for extending creep data generated on coupled glass-reinforced polypropylene at several glass levels and at temperatures of 23 and 80°C.

    Notes: Experimental studies were performed with low density polyethylene, acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene polymers and on polyvinyl chloride to elucidate the nature of the plasticating process in a reciprocating-screw injection molding machine. Melting data, obtained by use of the “cooling experiment,” and plastic temperature data reveal that the screw recharge process is a transient plasticating extrusion process which gradually approaches the equilibrium extrusion behavior as the screw rotates. If the screw rotation time is a high percentage of the total cycle time, the plasticating behavior is very similar to steady-state extrusion behavior, but if the screw rotation time is a small percentage of the total cycle time, the plasticating behavior is significantly different. Furthermore, better plasticating is obtained by use of a low RPM and high percentage rotation time than by a high RPM and low percentage rotation time.

    Notes: The peculiar behavior of thermoplastic elastomers in molding suggested that the processing steps (mainly shearing) to which the material had been submitted had a great influence on the morphology. Experiments were carried out on two polysstyrene-polybutadiene-polystyrene elastomers. The effects of melt-shearing and cooling were examined both by mechanical testing and low angle X-ray scattering. Melt-shearing creates a marked morphological anisotropy but a form of annealing can occur at sufficiently high temperatures.

    Notes: A theoretical model for the transient melting behavior in a reciprocating-screw injection molding machine is proposed. The model is based on a steady state extrusion model, Neumann's melting problem, and a heuristic postulate for the transient behavior. The model predictions are compared to experimental melting data for low density polyethylene, acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene polymers and polyvinyl chloride for a variety of operating conditions and two screw designs. A useful degree of correlation is demonstrated for all experimental cases.

    Notes: An experimental study is carried out to elucidate the melt fracture mechanism. For the study, the electrical outputs of the melt pressure transducers, mounted on the wall of a circular tube, are recorded on a Sanborn recording system. It has been observed from this study that the wall pressures start to fluctuate prior to the inception of visible melt fracture. The frequency and amplitude of the excursion signals are increased as the shear rate is increased up to and beyond the critical value. This behavior has been observed for three polymer samples tested: polystyrene, high density polyethylene, and low density polyethylene. The fluctuations of wall pressures are interpreted as due to an irregular flow of polymer melts at the tube wall. It is further investigated to find the effects of the die entry angle of a capillary, and capillary length-to-diameter ratio on the critical shear rate. A correlation between exit pressure and shear stress has been found for polystyrene and low density polyethylene. It is found that at and above the critical stress, the exist pressure increases abruptly. This is interpreted to be a sudden change in the elastic properties of the materials above melt fracture since Han et al have shown that the exist pressure is a measure of the elastic properties.

    Notes: Various solid conveying, melting, and metering theories developed for plasticating screw extrusions are reviewed. Some recommendations for improving the present melting theories are presented. It is pointed out that the overall performance of a screw extruder can be predicted only by combining the solid-conveying, melting and metering theories into a complete mathematical package because the three functions of a screw extruder depend on each other and cannot be separated. A suggestion is made on how to combine these three theories.

    Notes: A correlation is developed between the melt elasticity and temperature, the melt elasticity being defined by the normal stress difference. The correlation follows the form of the Arrhenius equation, for the temperature range tested, for high density polyethylene and polypropylene melts. Measurements were taken using the capillary rheometer which is described in detail in the author's earlier publications. The author further presents a correlation between the pressure drop at the entrance of a capillary and the residual pressure at the exit of the capillary (exit pressure). The correlations presented in the paper support the author's earlier contention that the exit pressure is indeed a manifestation of elastic behavior.

    Notes: Cobalt promoters presently used in the polyester processing industry suffer from many shortcomings ranging from shelf instability to strong discoloration of the resins and relatively poor activity. This paper describes the various performance improvements obtainable with coordination complexes of cobalt which can be used as polymerization accelerators in presence of organic peroxide initiators. These complexes appear to present significant advantages over the conventional cobalt carboxylates. Catalytic activity up to ten times that of cobalt soap was recorded with some complexes in various resin systems, without deleterious effects on physical properties. As gel-cure modifiers, the compounds evaluated seem to increase the long term shelf stability of pre-promoted resins while reducing the discoloration and air inhibition during the curing process of polyester thin films.

    Notes: The forces required to compress billets of crystalline polymers below their melting points were determined and related to the initial billet dimensions and amount of deformation. The studies involved the use of three high-density polyethylenes and an acetal copolymer. The results were found to obey an equation derived from plasticity theory using, at each temperature and for each material, a single parameter very nearly equal to the yield strength determined in ordinary tensile tests, and having the same temperature dependence. An empirical equation that describes the pressure required to form cups by backward extrusion of metal billets is also successful for the same process with polymers, using the yield parameter from the compression experiments. Cold working causes a high degree of orientation, increased clarity, and greatly increased tensile strength.

    Notes: The effects of polymer molecular weight, molecular weight distribution, and orientation on the rate of relaxation-controlled sorption of n-pentane by glassy polystyrene were studied. The sorption follows Case II kinetics but for films which sorb slowly the sorption rate increases at relatively long times until sorption is sharply terminated. This rate increase may be explained by the development of dispersed microvoids within the unrelaxed film core. Overshoot of the equilibrium n-pentane content occurs in sorption experiments in which accelerated sorption is pronounced.The sorption rate is independent of polymer molecular weight and molecular weight distribution per se over a broad wrange of these parameters. Essentially identical vapor sorption kinetics were observed for well annealed polystyrene films of different molecular weights and distributions. Conversely, for vapor sorption by uniaxially oriented films and for liquid sorption by partially annealed films, high molecular weight film (1,880,000) exhibits greater sorption rates than low molecular weight film (ca. 200,000). These differences in rate are not due to molecular weight differences per se, but are a consequence of the dissimilar response of free volume and strain development for films of different molecular weight prepared with a given time-temperature-strain history.Crazing of carefully annealed polystyrene films occurs during desorption of n-pentane from partially saturated films. The depth of craze penetration reflects the point of advance of the discontinuous Case II sorption boundary.

    Notes: It has been well established in the literature that the internal pressure, Pi = (∂E/∂V)T, of a polymer in the glassy state is about half the value expected from the behavior of the polymer just above the glass temperature, Tg. Consideration of this behavior in terms of a recent analysis of factors affecting internal pressures leads to the conclusion that the expression for the total energy of a glass must include a volume-dependent stored energy term, a term not present above Tg. This stored energy could be associated with actual bond and segment deformations in the glassy state. Brittleness and solvent cracking behavior of glasses will be strongly dependent on this stored elastic energy which can be modified by altering the molding conditions under which the glass is formed.

    Notes: The effects of fiber volume content, fiber-matrix bonding, heat treatment, and age hardening on the transverse mechanical properties of undirectional aluminum matrix fibrous composites have been investigated. Test results have indicated that the increase of the matrix strength is directly responsible for the increase of the transverse strength of a composite fabricated under heat-treated conditions, as compared with the corresponding strength for the annealed condition. The composite transverse tensile strength and elastic modulus have been calculated by using the finite-element method and the von Mises-Hencky criterion. Both the square and hexagonal arrays have been considered for the fiber configuration in the matrix. The analytical results are compared with the experimental data obtained at room temperature and low strain rate.

    Notes: The thermal stability of polyethylene containing conventional antioxidants is adversely affected by contact with copper, by certain pigments, and by the addition of a few percent of polypropylene as a processing aid. Polyethylene inhibited with 0.1% of phenolic antioxidants has approximately the same oxidative stability when in contact with a copper surface as the unprotected polymer. A mechanism is suggested to account for the loss of stability in the presence of copper. Pigments vary in the extent to which they adversely affect the oxidative stability of polyethylene. Since several factors may combine to decrease the stability of protected polyethylene compositions, as determined by accelerated tests, it is essential that their contribution under service conditions be determined. The predicted life at temperatures encountered in service is determined by extrapolating accelerated test data to that constant temperature which is calculated to cause the same degree of degradation as would occur during the daily and seasonal temperature cycles encountered in use.

    Notes: Heat transfer to polymer solutions or melts flowing in parallel plate systems is an important aspect of polymer processing as for example in extrusion through a wide slit.The present work solves the equation of energy for pseudoplastic non-Newtonian fluids flowing between parallel plates. An exact velocity profile rather than an approximation is used. Equations are derived both for temperature profiles and mean temperatures. The results are shown to correctly represent the physical situation.

    Notes: Polymethylmethacrylate has been sensitized to 4880 A light and used as a holographic recording medium. The polymer is sensitized with a material which may itsel be degraded by exposure to ultraviolet light. The new process is, therefore, both self-developing and fixable without chemical processing. Holographic diffraction gratings written into this material have diffracting efficiencies as high as 70 percent. Various parameters such as angular selectivity, film thickness, variation of diffracting efficiency with writing angle etc., have been studied. The spontaneously produced diffracted intensity is so high that efficient interference between first and zero ordes is observed during the writing process.

    Notes: The effect of hydrostatic pressure, up to 112,000 lb/in.2, on the tensile properties of four polymers is reported. The pressure soaking of polystyrene in castor oil had no significant effect on the material's residual properties when tested under ambient conditions. When tested under pressure polystyrene necked, like a metal, and exhibited a brittle ductile transition at 40,000 lb/in2. Between 40,000 to 112,000 lb/in.2 the tensile strength increased by about 30%. Young's modulus and yield strength were only slightly affected by pressure. Similar results were obtained for specimens sheathed to prevent possible plasticization of the polystyrene. Polymethylmethacrylate tested at 112,000 lb/in.2 failed just short of its instability point and with only a slight increase in Young's modulus. These amorphous polymers thus behaved under pressure in a generally similar manner to metals.Pressure had a marked effect on the stress-strain curves of two crystalline polymers polyethylene and nylon. Young's modulus and tensile strength were considerably increased and elongation decreased. Pressure inhibited ‘drawing’ of the materials. Deformation was restricted to a small necked region.

    Notes: The kinetics of uncatalyzed autoxidations for polyolefin films, such as atactic and isotactic polypropylene and poly-(butene-1) are reviewed in light of recent work. Reaction temperatures generally varied from 100 to 150°C and oxygen concentrations from 5 to 100% by volume. A general reaction scheme is suggested and kinetic expressions subsequently derived therefrom have been satisfactorily applied to account for experimental results. Linear relationships between a maximum rate and concentration of oxygen for both low and high concentrations were obtained.In the case of the catalyzed autoxidations [Co(III) acetylacetonate] the general reaction scheme was modified to take into account the presence of the catalyst. From this modified scheme, various kinetic expressions relating maximum rate and concentrations of oxygen, polymer and the catalyst were derived. First-order reaction with respect to the concentration of the catalyst was found at low concentrations of the catalyst, and near zero-order at relatively high catalyst concentrations. A correlation between catalytic activities of metal acetylacetonates [Co(III), Mn(III), Cr(III), Fe(III) and Cu(II)] and the oxidation-reduction potentials has been established.Experimental dependencies of maximum carbonyl formation rates as a function of polymer concentration were found to agree well with the theoretical both for catalyzed and uncatalyzed oxidations.

    Notes: Melt viscosity and melt elasticity data were obtained over a broad range of temperatures and shear rates on a series of four polypropylenes of different molecular weight but approximately the same molecular weight distribution. The superposition technique was used with both temperature and molecular weight to shift flow curves for all four materials at three temperatures each along the shear rate axis to generate a master flow curve at a given temperature and molecular weight. For polypropylenes of this type, and molecular weight distribution shift, factors which can be used to extend the useful range of experimentally obtained flow data were determined. The dependency of apparent viscosity on weight average molecular weight at shear stresses as high as 106 dynes/cm2 is shown. The dependency of melt elasticity on molecular weight and temperature is discussed.

    Notes: Extensional flows have been the object of study in several laboratories in recent years. Polymeric systems have been studied in most cases because of their interesting behaviour and also because of the importance of their rheological properties to the plastics engineer. Controlled, steady elongation is more difficult to achieve in the laboratory than the more traditional viscometric flows. Moreover, it is not in general possible to predict the response of a viscoelastic material to steady extension based on knowledge of its viscometric functions.This review begins by presenting some useful expressions describing the kinematics of extensional flows. Then some results of interest from rational mechanics are presented and the behaviour predicted by a number of constitutive equations for viscoelastic fluids are discussed. After presenting the pertinent relations of linear viscoelasticity for extensional flows, experimental methods and results for steady simple extension are reviewed and some possible implications for the processing of molten polymers are discussed.

    Notes: Controlled changes in crystallization conditions and shear history prior to and following both extrusion and compression molding were shown to drastically alter the mechanical properties of the polymer studied. This material, Poly[3,3-(bischloromethyl) oxacyclobutane], is an essentially linear polymer with a number average molecular weight of 300,000. The effect of heat transfer, as limited by experimental conditions, had a primary influence upon the crystallization phenomenon and therefore also upon the morphology and the resultant mechanical properties.By proper selection of processing conditions it was possible to alter the mechanical properties of this polymer from brittle behavior to the ability to form a neck and draw to high degrees of elongation. Using conditions that imparted the ability to neck and draw, it was shown that this process is sensitive to both strain rate during testing and extrusion rate during processing. The underlying cause of the effects upon mechanical properties appear to be the dramatic changes occurring in morphology as a result of the selected processing conditions.A chemical etching agent was used on these samples prior to replication, and observation in the electron microscope. Using this technique the internal morphology was studied and compared to the surface morphology. There was not a gradient of morphology in these samples. Furthermore, the use of this etching agent that attacked non-crystalline regions preferentially, suggested that the lamellar fine structure of spherulites is composed of smaller units.

    Notes: A new analytical technique, differential thermal analysis using high frequency dielectric heating (DTA/HF), has been developed which senses the rate and extent of the enthalpy change accompanying curing. These two parameters relate simply and quantitatively to curing reaction kinetics.In DTA/HF cylindrical samples of uncured elastomers, 2-in. in diam and about 1-in. high, enclosed in glass rings and covered, are heated in a high frequency (86 mc) electrical field simultaneously with an identically-shaped precured reference disc of the same elastomer. Both sample and reference are clamped securely between 3 × 5-in. rectangular output electrodes. The sample is cured isometrically under pressure generated by thermal expansion. Temperatures at the core of the sample and reference are monitored continuously using ungrounded junction thermocouples with stainless steel probes; both sample temperature and temperature differences between sample and reference are recorded.To test the validity of DTA/HF it was first applied to the dicumyl peroxide (DCP) curing of several cis-1,4-polyisoprene calcium carbonate mixtures for which reaction mechanisms and reaction kinetic data are available.

    Notes: The stress-cracking of polycarbonate by a gaseous or liquid agent results from the diffusion of this agent into the polymer. The low molecular weight polymer fractions and the chain ends within the bulk of the polymer become more ordered during the diffusion and swelling process by their partial solubility in the crazing agent, causing crystallization. The creation of interfaces at areas of order-disorder causes high shearing forces at this boundary and voids within the bulk of the polymer. These voids are then propagated as crazes or cracks at stresses much lower than the tensile strength of the polymer. Therefore, a stress-cracking agent need not diffuse rapidly, but must be an effective environment for swelling and/or crystallization. Data from diffusion, density, thermal and molecular analyses are presented to support this mechanism.

    Notes: The problems encountered with cold formed thermoplastic material, namely, low heat distortion temperature and stress and solvent crazing, can be overcome by using a laminate consisting of a reinforced thermosetting core sandwiched between two drawable face sheets. This process imposes a restriction on the material by the need for a curing cycle to transform the core into a hard, three dimensional network. To take full advantage of the very fast metal forming technique, the curing should be accomplished outside of the forming apparatus and without external restraint. In order to impart a practical shelf life to the laminate at room temperature, the chemical requirements of the core can only be met with an elevated temperature cure. This in turn places an additional restriction on the face sheets, as they will have to withstand the curing conditions without external constraint and without dimensional changes of the formed part. Finally, the face sheets then have to become an integral part of the formed laminate upon curing of the latter, involving a high adhesive strength between the cured core and the face sheets. The criteria for the selection of the materials for various layers are presented as well as the limitations on the construction of the entire laminate.

    Notes: The universal calibration and universal correction curves for the correction of resolution dispersion and skewing are established for polyvinylchloride (PVC). The effect of solution concentration on skewing is also demonstrated. The application of these curves to the determination of number and weight average molecular weights of PVC samples is illustrated. The results obtained are consistent with those determined by membrane osmometry and light scattering.

    Notes: Strips of ductile, amorphous thermoplastic polymers such as polycarbonates, acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrenes, polysulfones and polyphenylene oxides have been reduced in thickness by passing them through a metalworking rolling mill at room temperature. Properties of the rolled strips were studied as a function of the thickness reduction. In addition to rolling unidirectionally, cross rolling (biaxial rolling) was also studied using equal thickness reductions in each direction. The maximum thickness reduction (to  -  tf)100/to which could be achieved was approximately 60 per cent regardless of the polymer studied here. Stress-strain curves, density changes, thermal stability, hardness and Izod impact strengths have been determined as a function of thickness reduction and sheet direction.

    Notes: A large number of composite materials are polyphase systems in which one phase exhibits time-dependent properties. This paper presents an analysis of the stress redistribution in such a viscoelastic material system under the influence of applied external loads. In order to perform this study an appropriate idealized model, a series of which would tend to approximate the composition of a polyphase material, is formulated. The solution of the time-dependent stress field is obtained by applying the “correspondence principle” to the elastic stress field solution which, for the selected model, has previously been obtained in numerical form.Application of the solution to a model of an actual polyphase composite material system yields results which clearly indicate that, under certain normally encountered conditions of external loading, the principal stresses in certain areas of such a system will increase significantly with time.

    Notes: The effects of temperature, strain rate and filler content on tensile properties of SAN/glass bead composites are studied. A point of discontinuity on the stress-strain curves for unannealed composites is investigated, annealing results in smooth curves with no discontinuities. A simple model for the filler effect on yield stress is suggested and shown to be in a good agreement with experimental data. A double shifting procedure to account for the temperature and filler effects on yield stress as a function of strain rate is proposed. A single master curve that can be represented by the equation: \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$$ \frac{{\sigma yc}}{{{\rm 1 - 1}{\rm .21}\phi ^{{\rm 2/3}} }} = A + B\,{\rm ln (}\dot \epsilon a_T) $$\end{document} relates composite yield stress to strain rate, temperature and filler volume fraction.

    Notes: Polymethyl methacrylate, polyacetal and polypropylene samples were subjected to constant-load uniaxial creep in tension and compression up to 3% strain in times up to 105 sec. A higher creep resistance was obtained in compression compared with tension due to the influence of free volume on mobility. Square wave cyclic creep tests alternately in tension and equal compression for dwell times of 10, 100, 1000 sec were also conducted on each material up to a total time of 105 sec. Under low cyclic creep stresses tension creep cancelled out compression creep in each successive half cycle so that there was no overall increase in creep strain as cycling proceeded. The unidirectional creep data was used successfully to predict this behavior. At higher cyclic stress levels creep strain range increased steadily throughout the test indicating a softening process. A few tests were conducted in unidirectional and cyclic stress relaxation on polymethyl methacrylate.

    Notes: A new photoresist stable to 500°C has been developed. The addition of potassium dichromate to a polyamic acid, believed to be the condensation product of pyromellitic dianhydride and 4,4′-diaminodiphenylether, results in a photosensitive polymer which can be cast or spun. The resultant film after exposure, development and post-bake is a crosslinked aromatic polyimide. An efficient developing solution consisting of a 5:1 mixture of hexamethylphosphoramide and dimethylsulfoxide has been discovered. The system has been fully characterized in terms of composition, film formation, exposure, development, hardening and removal. This material has already proven useful as an area-controlled, thermally stable dielectric and as a sputter-etch resist. It has been demonstrated that under the conditions of sputter-etching (bombardment of substrate with Ar, Ar+ species with energies from 1-300 eV) commercial photoresists, of the polyisoprene variety, char to the extent of being ineffective as a masking material. Under these same conditions, the thermally stable resist retains its film integrity and uniform sputter-etch rate. An exemplary processing sequence is included as an appendix.

    Notes: Determination of the change in electrical dissipation factor and capacitance of epoxy/graphite and polyimide/graphite composites during compression molding provides a reproducible means of obtaining low void content composites by permitting accurate application of low pressure at the resin gel point. Of the two parameters, change in dissipation factor was found to be the more sensitive to molecular changes in the resin matrix as well as to variations in solvent content, particularly with the polyimide systems. The simple laboratory equipment required to carry out these electrical measurements is described.

    Notes: A new method of etching is described, the principle of which is the vibration of the sample being etched within the etchant. Because only small samples can be used this method is not suitable for commercial etching. As a test procedure however it has several advantages: a small volume of etchant (about 100 cc) is sufficient, the pressure of etchant attack can be varied and measured continuously, and the temperature can easily be controlled. Examples are given to demonstrate that vibration etching can be applied for characterization as well as for control of photoresist giving data of etch resistance, etch factor, adhesion, flexibility. Also the characteristics of different etchants and the etch behavior of different metal substrates can easily be compared.

    Notes: An apparatus was designed and built which allowed an investigation concerning the morphology and kinetics of crystallization of a deformed polybutene-1 melt. The polymer was quenched from a temperature above its melting point to one of two crystallization temperatures. The supercooled melt was then sheared and allowed to crystallize isothermally while the internal stress in the melt was continuously recorded. A polarizing microscope was employed for the simultaneous study of the resulting morphological changes. By properly accounting for thermal contractions within the apparatus caused by the quenching operation, as well as the imposed shear strain, a strain history of the polymer during crystallization was developed. From this strain history and the assumption that the volume contraction resulting from crystallization was isotropic, approximate kinetics of crystallization in a deformed polymer melt were determined.

    Notes: A temperature probe system to measure radial temperature profile of polymer flowing in a rod die and a method to systematically correct the conduction and the frictional shear effects were developed. Experimental data obtained on a 1-1/2-inch extruder using a blow molding compound show that both conduction and frictional shear heating effects are significant in melt temperature measurement and that the radial temperature profiles of the melt in the rod die are influenced by the RPM of the screw and the die-wall temperature.The reliability of the temperature data obtained was compared with the solution obtained from the equations of motion and energy. A good agreement between the predicted versus experimental temperature profile exists. For this polymer system, the relationship between local Nusselt number and the velocity parameter could be adequately described with the theory of Van LeeuWen.

    Notes: In order to predict the processing behavior of a high density polyethylene resin one must know the resin flow behavior over a wide range of shear rates. Low shear properties are important in applications where melt strength, sagging, etc. are critical. On the other hand, high shear flow properties are a determining factor in applications where melt instability, melt fracture and heat generation are important. The flow behavior of a resin can be established by measuring the zero shear viscosity, η0, the maximum relaxation time, τ0, and the shape of the flow curve. We have measured these basic rheological parameters on a large number of high density polyethylene resins. A shear sensitivity parameter which is independent of molecular weight was derived from a correlation between η0 and τ0. This parameter, together with η0, provide the vital information needed in order to predict the processing behavior of the resin. This method is applicable to other polymer systems provided that the rheological parameters η0 and τ0 can be experimentally obtained.

    Notes: A mathematical solution for the Arrhenius temperature dependency for the first-order decomposition of organic peroxide catalysts has been used to prepare computer-generated data for concentration vs time when a linearly rising temperature program is used. The resulting plots, of a double exponential nature, are used to show the effects of heating rates and type of organic peroxide on peroxide concentration and polymerization reactions.

    Notes: The free volume, vf, of liquids is defined in many ways. Comparison of solid and liquid behavior indicates that the definition for free volume in terms of the internal pressure of the liquid (∂E/∂V)T, is physically reasonable. Application of the definition of free volume, vf = RT/(∂E/∂V)T, to polymethylenes, coupled with surface energy values, leads to an evaluation of both polymer segmental volume, Ṽs, and free volume per segment, (vf)s, as a function of temperature. These equilibrium thermodynamic measurements of Ṽs and (vf)s lead to an energy of activation for viscous flow in good agreement with viscosity studies. Information of this type could be of great use in considering many current problems in polymer flow such as the effect of pressure on viscosity.

    Notes: This article uses Graessley's theory of viscosity to predict the flow curve for several high-density and low-density polyethylene melts using the molecular weight distribution data obtained from the gel permeation chromatograph. The agreement with the experimental flow curve obtained from the Weissenberg rheogoniometer and the Instron rheometer was not quantitative for many high-density polyethylenes studied here. For the low-density polyethylenes, it was shown that the agreement between the theory and the experiment was good even though the molecular weight distribution data were not corrected for long-chain branching. For these samples, the experimental relaxation time τ0 obtained by superposition of the data with the theoretical master curve was of the order of the Rouse relaxation time τR. The systematic increase in the ratio τR/τ0 was ascribed to the increase in the molecular weight or to the increased number of long-chain branches.

    Notes: The mechanical performance of fiber glass epoxy, cross-plied laminates having either ductile or brittle matrices, was evaluated in tension. The laminates with ductile matrices have higher initial strength, slower crack propagation in the transverse layers and higher ultimate stress and strain. In both the ductile and brittle systems, the laminae have higher strength, stiffness and toughness than equivalent unidirectional composites. This improved performance results from the interaction between the perpendicular layers which gives them additional stiffness due to shear and transverse coupling effects and also increases the resistance of each individual layer to crack propagation and plastic flow.

    Notes: A numerical method for analyzing the uniformity of flow from sheeting dies is presented. The method assumes that the flow is isothermal and that the material is a power law fluid. A uniformity index is defined and methods are presented which enable die dimensions to be established which will result in a specified uniformity at particular flow rates and pressure drops. The analysis shows that the flow index “n” of the power law is the key parameter determining the uniformity of flow from a sheeting die.

    Notes: Fibrous structures of high complexity, as introduced by ply and twist, have been subjected to high and low speed tensile tests. The ratio of strength at high speed to low speed is always greater than one, but decreases with increasing complexity of fibrous structure. The ratio of elongation to break at high speed to that at low speed is always less than one and also decreases with increasing structure complexity. The ability to absorb energy markedly increases with increasing complexity of geometry at low strain rates, characteristic of an Instron. The reasons for this additional energy absorption are discussed. Tests at high rates of strain point out the inability of many complex textile structures to translate their superior energy absorption characteristics to high strain rates. The results obtained and the principles demonstrated are applied to the development of improved materials for use in aerial delivery and ballistic applications.

    Notes: 3,3,3-Trichloropropylene oxide (TCPO) is a monomer which has the combination of a highly reactive epoxide group and a stable trichloromethyl group. The epoxy group will undergo ring opening polymerizations with itself and with a host of other compounds to yield polymeric materials. Water, alcohols, phenols, amines, carboxylic acids and many other compounds react with TCPO with the aid of Lewis acid type catalysts. The electron-withdrawing influence of the trichloromethyl group, steric effects and the oxirane ring have a strong influence on the course of reactions, which are often radically different from that encountered with the simpler alkylene oxide monomers.

    Notes: Ciné film was employed for recording the movement of tracer particles, thus directly determining the velocity profile in the capillary flow of model materials of polybutadiene over a range of shear stresses relating to (1.) flow conditions in which there is no distortion of the regular stream of melt emerging from a capillary, (2.) severe surface fracture, (3.) elastic turbulence, (4.) oscillatory flow of melts with discontinuous flow curves. No qualitative difference was found between the velocity profiles in conditions (1) and (2); surface fracture is not related to laminar flow disturbances and originates at the capillary exit. Surface fracture must be distinguished from elastic turbulence. The streamline velocities undergo both local and time variations within the capillary under conditions of developed elastic turbulence; the wall velocity is non-zero. A periodic pulsation of velocities occurs in the flow curve discontinuity region; it takes place throughout the capillary and is caused by stick-slipping of polymer on the capillary wall. The frequency of velocity pulsations coincides with the frequency of extrudate variations.

    Notes: The dynamic mechanical properties of polyester and polyether urethane block polymers have been investigated at four frequencies (3.5, 11, 35 and 110 Hz) in the temperature range of  -  150 to 200°C. The existence of a two phase structure was demonstrated in these systems by the observation of two major transition regions corresponding to (1) the glass transition temperature (Tg) of the ester or ether soft segments, and to (2) the softening temperature of the aromatic-urethane hard segments. Several secondary relaxations were observed in addition to the two major relaxations. It was possible to assign molecular mechanisms to each of these relaxations. All relaxation phenomena were greatly influenced by the molecular weight of the prepolymer, weight percent of hard segments, and thermal history. An increase in the molecular weight of the prepolymer above 1,000 at constant hard segment content resulted in a semi-crystalline material, which possessed a lower Tg for the macroglycol segments. Annealing to enhance crystallinity increased the Tg of the soft segments, consistent with the usual observation in semicrystalline homopolymers. These findings suggest that the relaxation mechanisms of polyurethane block polymers are not only influenced by the degree of crystallinity, but also by the nature of the domain structure.

    Notes: An experimental study has been carried out to investigate the influence of the reservoir-to-capillary diameter (DR/D) ratio on the elastic properties of polymer melts flowing through capillary tubes. For the study, a capillary rheometer, described in an earlier paper by Han, was used with DR/D ratios of 3, 6, 9 and 12. Measurements were taken of wall normal stresses in high density polyethylene along the axis of the capillary, and the axial pressure profile was used to obtain the “exist pressure,” which is believed to be an elastic phenomenon. The analysis of the experimental data indicates that, for a given capillary length-to-diameter (L/D) ratio, the exit pressures first increase and then level off, as the DR/D ratio is increased. This behavior of the exit pressure is in accord with that of extrudate expansion which has also been determined in the experiment. This dependence of the exist pressure and extrudate expansion ratio on DR/D ratio is explained with the concept that the amount of recoverable elastic energy stored in the melt flowing through the capillary depends on the strain history, which the melt experiences on entering the capillary.

    Notes: Melt studies on PVC systems at elevated temperature or long times are difficult. One consequence is that measurements may be possible only in the non-Newtonian region. The results indicate that even in this case the melt viscosity can be related exponentially with the weight average molecular weight by the 3.4 power. Since literature data are scarce, attempts were made to extend the range by mixing polymers. This led to the complication of dispersity both on a molecular scale and on a macroscopic level. The latter point is particularly important for PVC studies since the polymers are frequently blended with materials having different viscosities.

    Notes: The pressure distribution through the melting and melt zones of a plasticating extruder is discussed, and an analysis is described for predicting the pressure profile. In the stable melting zone, the pressure profile is calculated based on flow in the melt pool, and the pressure is strongly influenced by the flow of the solid bed of plastic. The solid bed flow is primarily determined by the polymer rigidity in the screw compression section. If the size (through a melting analysis) and the velocity (through a solid bed acceleration parameter) of the solid bed along the screw channel are reasonably approximated, the pressure profile is reasonably approximated by this analysis. Inaccurate representations of the size or velocity of the solid bed can yield inaccurate pressure profile prediction.In the unstable melting region, the assumption of a complete melt yields reasonable pressure predictions. The introduction of these concepts into an extrusion model permits a more accurate prediction of the operating RPM of a given screw design in a given machine.

    Notes: Within the supraesophageal ganglion of polynoids is a vertical fiber tract which has the appearance of a “Y” in transverse sections of the brain, and contains the axons of many neurosecretory cells. The granule-filled terminals of these neurosecretory fibers are found at the base of the tract where they are in contact with the inner surface of the sheath covering the ventral surface of the brain. This sheath separates these neurosecretory endings from an underlying pericapsular epithelium which is thicker in this region. Beneath this pericapsular epithelium is a coelomic sinus. The dorsal blood vessel is located within this sinus and is “innervated” by a pair of fiber bundles that pass out of the brain at the base of the vertical fiber tract. The outer surface of the vessel is covered by epithelioid cells which contact these fiber bundles and the thickened pericapsular epithelium, and sometimes contain granular cytoplasmic inclusions. The lumen of the vessel is continuous with the lumina of a pair of cellular, thickwalled structures of unknown function which are attached to the ventro-lateral margins of the brain. The relationship between neurosecretory endings, enlarged pericapsular cells, coelomic sinus and blood vessel provides morphological evidence for the hypothesis that these structures are elements of a neuroendocrine system, similar in some respects to the brain-infracerebral gland complex of nereid and nephtyid polychaetes.

    Notes: Gross details of the reproductive cycle and the cytology of oogenesis were studied in 155 egg clutches produced by 69 captive individuals of the triploid parthenogenetic lizard Cnemidophorus uniparens. The mean clutch cycle lasted 23 days. The mean number of ova per clutch was 3.3, and the mean number of oocytes per right and left ovaries was 1.65 and 1.70, respectively. Comparison of the size of the oocytes at ovulation (9-10 mm) with the estimated mean duration of vitellogenesis (8.8 days) gave an average of approximately 1 mm yolk deposition per day. The mean time for the retention of eggs in the oviducts was 9.3 days. The germinal disc of the oocyte consists of a series of layers formed by the arrangement of various cytoplasmic and yolk particles in the polar region. In a mature oocyte the germinal vesicle is located immediately below the vitelline membrane and lies at the center of the germinal disc. The germinal vesicle is characterized by a dense disc-like cluster of diplotene chromosomes. Diplonema extends until near ovulation when the oocytes have attained a size of about 9 mm. Diakinesis and metaphase I occur rapidly and immediately prior to ovulation. Counts of approximately as many bivalents as there are somatic chromosomes were obtained from oocytes at diakinesis and metaphase I.The second division occurs almost immediately before or at the precise moment of ovulation. The chromosomes of the first polar body consist of dyads, of which there are as many as the triploid number of 69. A metaphase II plate obtained in polar view also revealed dyad chromosomes, of which there were approximately as many as the triploid somatic number. The second telophase is normal as evidenced by formation of the second polar body. Chromosomes from the opposing telophase plates show a monad structure. The presence of as many bivalents in the first division as the triploid somatic number of 69 indicates that the 3N condition of C. uniparens was doubled prior to meiosis. This is further supported by the occurrence of two maturation divisions each giving rise to a polar body, by the dyad structure of the chromosomes in the first polar body and the second metaphase, and by the presence of monochromosomes at telophase II. Thus, parthenogenesis in these lizards is of the meiotic type. The somatic number of chromosomes is doubled early in oogenesis presumably by a premeiotic endoduplication, and the 3N level is restored by two subsequent maturation divisions.

    Notes: The antennal flagellum of the male sorghum midge is about a millimeter long and may bear over 500 sense organs. These consist of (1) tactile hairs, (2) thin-walled pegs, (3) circumfila and (4) very small pegs of unknown function. Each of the 12 subsegments of the flagellum is divided into two globular nodes and each of these is encircled by a circumfilum of from 6 to 14 loops. The circumfila are attached to the antennal surface by short stalks. The loops of the circumfila have the basic structure of thin-walled chemoreceptors: (1) very small pores in their delicate wall and (2) a lumen filled with branches of dendrites from sensory neurons. The outer surface of the circumfilum is covered with a labyrinth of fine ridges between which the pores are located. Some evidence was obtained that the circumfila are produced in the pupa by bifurcate trichogen cells.The flagellum of the female is shorter than that of the male and composed of 12 cylindrical subsegments. The circumfila of the female lie close to the surface to which they are attached by short stalks. Each is composed of two parts that encircle the subsegment and of two others that run lengthwise between the circles. The surface is nearly smooth, perforated by fine openings and lacks the complex pattern of ridges seen in the male. It also has more dendrite branches but, otherwise, has the same basic structure.

    Notes: Electron microscopic observations on the mechanically undisturbed guinea pig bone marrow show that the sinusoidal lining is continuous. There are neither intercellular nor intracellular apertures allowing free communication between the extravascular and intravascular compartments. A transient migration pore is only formed during the diapedetic transit of blood cells. Serial sections show that this aperture is transcellular. A functional continuity of the sinusoidal lining appears to be maintained during the diapedesis of blood cells, which is evident from the absence of a significant extravascular leakage of plasma during this process.

    Notes: The earliest visible changes that occur in the normal organization of the lens epithelium after a penetrating wound in the lens suggest that passage of an injury stimulus outward from the wound occurs within the first half day after injury: changes in normal tissue architecture appear near the wound at six hours and move outward to involve the proliferative zone by 12 hours. This is followed by migration of cells toward the wound. There is a slight increase in cell number in the proliferative zone within the first day, followed at later intervals by a decrease there and a concomitant increase in cell number adjacent to the wound. After a pre-injury injection of H3-TdR (or I125-UdR), labeled cells that had incorporated the precursor in the normal proliferative zone were found progressively closer to the wound with increasing time. Only the cells which incorporated the radioactive tracer could be followed, but it is likely that cells in the central areas also migrated toward the wound since they showed spindling and superimposition. Migration of cells into the wound margins is an important phase of wound closure which begins long before the major productions of new cells by mitosis.

    Notes: Growth of the skeleton of regenerating spines of the sea urchin, Strongylocentrotus purpuratus, was studied with the light and scanning electron microscopes during the formation of a growth ring or cycle.Growth was initiated about three days after fracture and was linear between 5 and about 40 days after fracture, with a mean rate of 0.16 mm/day. There-after, a decline in growth rate was observed, being attributed to abrasion.The new skeleton first appeared as minute, conical „micro-spines“ on the fractured surface of the spine shaft initiating regeneration of the inner zone of meshwork. Subsequent growth of micro-spines of both the developing inner zone of meshwork, and an outer zone of radiating wedges, formed a conical fenestrated skeleton on the fractured surface of the shaft. Further deposition of micro-spines along the shaft, initially at the level of fracture, formed meshwork which gradually became solidified externally resulting in a new cycle about 60 days after fracture. In contrast, a new cycle was initiated at the milled ring in non-fractured spines during total regeneration on bare tubercles, demonstrating that growth of spines also takes place in the absence of fracture.Experiments conducted in vitro demonstrate that spine regeneration is not a polar phenomenon.

    Notes: In the telotrophic ovarioles of Dysdercus fasciatus, mononucleate, binucleate and multinucleate trophocytes are seen in the germarium. Cellular breakdown of the multinucleate cells is seen in the posterior part of this tissue. The nutritive cords, which are continuous with the trophic core at the one end and the oocytes of the vitellarium at the other, contain material of fibrous appearance which continues into the trophic core. The ovariole is enclosed in two sheaths throughout its length. Prefollicular tissue in the germarium appears to give rise to the follicle cells. Mitosis is common in this zone. Oocytes are at first surrounded by a multilayered epithelium. This is later reduced progressively to one layer. This one layered follicular epithelium is at first columnar but then changes to cuboidal mononucleate, cuboidal binucleate and finally to a squamous binucleate condition This epithelium thus seems to accommodate the increased volume of the oocyte by growth and a change of shape. The oocyte grows fastest at those times when it is surrounded by cuboidal and squamous epithelial cells.

    Notes: Walking of Chrysemys has been studied by cinephotography and x-rays. The lateral sequence, diagonal couplet gait, limb support sequence, and wide track provide great stability, yet a slight pitch and roll cause some plastral drag. Velocity ranges from 28 mm to 51 mm/second, and fluctuates within a stride. Limb movements and structure resemble those of other ectotherms, but incorporate modifications reflecting the animal's short, broad trunk encased in a shell and carried close to the ground. The triradiate pectoral girdle so articulates with the shell as to act as a truss for weight transfer to the ground. Girdle rotation increases the efficiency of the girdle as a truss, and contributes to locomotor efficiency. The glenoid cavities are more than twice as far apart as the acetabula, so a thrust from the pectoral girdle has less propulsive efficiency on the center of gravity than one from the acetabulum. The humerus and femur are protracted to a greater extent than in other ectotherms and their horizontal arcs of retraction are less. Rotation of these elements about their longitudinal axes contributes to the length of a stride and to foot placement and withdrawal. Differences in the movements of comparable segments of front and hind limbs correlate with differences in the width of the girdles, a crus longer than the antebrachium, and different capacities for joint rotation.

    Notes: The developmental cycle of the teeth in Plethodon cinereus is analyzed on morphological grounds using alizarin preparations. All the stages in development do not occupy the same proportion of the life cycle time. Functional teeth and germs at an early stage in development occupy a large proportion of the life cycle time, whereas the processes of tooth shedding and ankylosis occur very quickly. The time during which any locus does not bear a functional tooth, and is therefore a non-functional locus, is reduced to a minimum. P. cinereus has a basic pattern of tooth replacement which is consistent with Zahnreihen which are 2.0 tooth spaces apart. Variations in the replacement pattern are common and these are produced by relatively small fluctuations in the spacing of the Zahnreihen around the „mean„ of 2.0. Localized disturbances which produce breaks in the replacement pattern and cause waves to cross also occur. These may be due to the failure of tooth germs to develop, the fusion of tooth germs, or may be the result of the inherent variability in a complex biological system. This variability causes individual tooth germs to develop too slowly or too quickly and hence assume an „abnormal“ position thus causing breaks in the replacement pattern. Tooth replacement may be controlled by an intra-local mechanism(s) rather than by stimuli which travel along the jaw.

    Notes: The llama and guanaco stomach consisted of three compartments. A transverse pillar divided the large, first compartment into cranial and caudal sacs. Both sacs contained recessed glandular saccules. The saccules in the caudal sac were everted during the gastric contraction cycle. The non-recessed surfaces of this compartment were covered by stratified squamous epithelium.The first compartment communicated on the right with a smaller, reniform second compartment. Except on the lesser curvature, this compartment contained deep cells which were lined by a papillated glandular mucosa.The ventricular groove, defined by a single muscular lip, coursed along the cranial sac of the first compartment, over the lesser curvature of the second compartment, and terminated at the tubular passage to the third compartment.The initial four-fifths of the elongate third compartment contained mucigenous glands like those found in the saccules and cells of the first and second compartment Proper gastric glands and pyloric glands were confined to the terminal one-fifth of the third compartment.Attempts to homologize the compartments of the camelid stomach with those of the Pecora or so-called advanced ruminants were unsuccessful. The results of this study and concurrent physiologic investigations indicated that the processes of ruminant digestion can operate within wide anatomic boundaries, and that the camelid stomach with its extensive glandular mucosa is adapted for greater digestive efficiency than the advanced ruminant stomach.

    Notes: The epidermal covering of the tail scales of the gekkonid lizard Lygodactylus bears three distinct types of specialization: sense organs, pilose pads whose function is either sensory or scansorial or both, and holocrine secretory organs (β-glands) which are only found in males. The same specializations are found on regenerated tails, and although the morphological form and patterning of the scales do not resemble the original, the structure, distribution and sexual specificity of the specialized units is perfectly restored. These structures, and similar units in other lacertilian genera have certain resemblances to mammalian and avian epidermal specializations. Perfection of replacement of integumentary specializations can be correlated with functional demands, although the developmental mechanism underlying the phenomenon is unknown.

    Notes: Spermatozoa in the head of the epididymis of the flying squirrel have large cup-shaped acrosomal heads with two ventral ridges. The cytoplasmic droplet contains an ovoid body and a group of large granules. These structures may be related to the chromatoid body of spermatids. The spermatozoa form polarized cylindrical bodies with centrally placed tails and peripheral heads. The tips of acrosomes protrude into concavities of acrosomal cups of neighboring spermatozoa. Peripheral portions of acrosomes are in contact with microvilli (stereocilia) of epididymal cells. Polarized cylindrical bodies are present in five species of Sciuridae.

    Notes: The hypothalamus of the opossum (Didelphis virginiana), the armadillo (Dasypus novemcinctus mexicanus), and the cat (Felis domestica) was studied using Del Rio Hortega's silver carbonate technique, as modified by Scharenberg ('60). This technique demonstrates astrocytes, oligodendroglia, and neuronal perikarya, but does not impregnate microglia. The morphology of macroglia was observed in ten comparable nuclei in each of the three species. The subpial and subependymal areas were also examined.Astrocytes display more cell body angularity and have more processes in most hypothalamic regions of the cat when compared to similar regions of the opossum and armadillo.In the anterior hypothalamic nucleus, the ventromedial and the dorsomedial hypothalamic nuclei, and the medial mammillary nucleus of all three species, astrocytes send processes to neurons, but neuronal and astrocytic perikarya are usually not directly contiguous. However, oligodendrocytes in a perisomatic position on neurons are a consistent feature in these nuclei.A closer relationship appears to exist between astrocytes and neurons in the neurosecretory nuclei. In the supraoptic nucleus and paraventricular nucleus of all three species a basket-like structure, designated a „pericellular envelope“ was observed surrounding neuronal perikarya. This structure is composed of astrocytic and oligodendroglial cell bodies and processes, and is most highly developed in the cat.A dense astrocytic plexus was observed in the suprachiasmatic nucleus of the cat, and in the comparable nuclei of the armadillo and opossum. The most prominent macroglial cell type of the lateral hypothalamic and lateral mammillary nuclei of all three species is the interfascicular oligodendrocyte. The posterior hypothalamic nucleus of each species has many perisomatic oligodendrocytes, and in the armadillo and cat astrocytes are closely related to the larger neurons.A subpial plexus, consisting of a palisade of small glial cells with many processes, is present in the hypothalamus of the three species. Ependymal cells have long projecting processes throughout the length of the third ventricle in the armadillo hypothalamus, but such processes are only apparent in the region of the infundibular nucleus and median eminence in the opossum and cat.

    Notes: The antenna of fourth instar larvae of Aedes aegypti has one peg organ of a basiconic type innervated by four neurons. The dendrites are ensheathed to near their terminations at the peg tip by an electron-dense dendritic sheath and by a cuticular sheath. They have easy communication by diffusion with the external environment only at the tip through a peripheral ensheathing membrane and six slit-channels. One of the dendrites resembles a tubular body proximally and may be mechanoreceptive. The peg generally appears to be a contact chemoreceptor. There are three antennal hairs of a typical sensillum trichodeum type innervated at the base by one neuron each. An intricate terminal mechanism at the insertion of the dendrite in the hair is described. These are believed to be tactile hairs. There are also three antennal hairs each innervated by two neurons. The dendrite from one terminates at the base similar to that of a tactile hair, and is believed to function in a similar mechanoreceptive manner. The dendrite from the second neuron extends naked along the length of the hair lumen. It is believed to be primarily chemoreceptive, in a slow-acting general sensory function. In all the sensilla there appear to be secretions produced in the junction body regions of the dendrites, and there is evidence for accumulation of secretory materials in the dendritic tips in some of the sensilla.

    Notes: The ontogenetic sequence of cranial bony structure from initial ossifications through metamorphosis in Ambystoma texanum is described on the basis of 128 cleared and stained specimens. For convenience of discussion nine stages are recognized on the basis of conspicuous events. Cranial bones ossify and are modified in a definite sequence, and comparisons of complete sequences among groups of salamanders may prove useful in classification and in better understanding of relationships.

    Notes: The distribution of glycogen, lipids and succinic dehydrogenase (SDH) in twitch and tonus fibers of several amphibians and birds is described, and the correlation of histochemical properties with fiber structure and function is discussed. Twitch and tonus fibers were identified histologically by the presence of Fibrillenstruktur and Felderstruktur respectively. The rectus abdominis, sartorius and semitendinosus were studied in Rana pipiens, Xenopus laevis and Necturus maculosus; the pectoralis major, pectoralis minor, anterior latissimus dorsi and posterior latissimus dorsi were investigated in Gallus gallus and Passer domesticus. Periodic acid-Schiff was used to stain for glycogen, Sudan Black B for lipids and Nitro BT for localization of SDH activity.In amphibian muscles, fibers with Fibrillenstruktur and Felderstruktur constitute the rectus abdominis. Except in one case, only Fibrillenstruktur fibers were seen in the sartorius and semitendinosus. In the avian muscles, fibers with Fibrillenstruktur comprise the pectoralis major, pectoralis minor and posterior latissimus dorsi, while fibers with Felderstruktur constitute the anterior latissimus dorsi. These types of muscle fibers showed no consistent pattern in the distribution of glycogen, lipids and SDH. The evidence precludes the use of such data alone for distinguishing twitch (Fibrillenstruktur) and tonus (Felderstruktur) fibers.

    Notes: The fine structure of the excretory tubes of the mesostigmatid mite Macrocheles muscaedomesticae were investigated. These paired tubes are partially ensheathed by fat body and invested throughout by a branching system of visceral muscles. The fine structure of the cells of the excretory tube is in general similar with only minor differences found throughout its length. The basal region of each epithelial cell of the excretory tube borders the hemocoel and is divided into many compartments by the extensive infolding of the plasma membrane. Mitochondria and vacuolar inclusions are often closely associated with these compartments. More than one morphological type of mitochondria was found distributed throughout the cells of the excretory tubes. The most commonly encountered type had well developed cristae and an electron dense matrix. Less commonly, mitochondria with somewhat poorly developed cristae and a translucent matrix often containing myelin-like figures of varying complexity were observed. It is suggested that they represent part of a normal process of mitochondrial degeneration. The apical region of the cell has a border composed of plate-like folds of the plasma membrane termed microlamellae. The lumen contains abundant granules of the excretory product.

    Notes: The fine structure of the developing gizzard of the chick embryo has been studied to define the sequence of events in cytodifferentiation of the epithelium and to look for morphological evidence of epithelio-mesenchymal interaction. During the fourth day of incubation epithelial cells begin to form mucous secretory granules, later massive glycogen deposits appear, and finally by day 8 numerous cell processes have formed. Tissue was prepared by a number of methods to stain material associated with cell surfaces. At the time induction is presumbably occurring such stainable material is abundant. Epithelial and mesenchymal tissue components when cultured transfilter show no inductive effects and stainable cell surface material is greatly reduced near the epithelium.

    Notes: An approximate 1:1 ratio of myelinated to unmyelinated fibers was established in counts from electron micrograph montages in nerves of the newt, Triturus (Notophthalmus) viridescens. The number of myelinated fibers correspond to the number counted with the light microscope after osmium fixation. Light microscope counts of silver impregnated sections yielded a value slightly higher suggesting that, except for bundles of unmyelinated fibers, the silver technique revealed mainly myelinated fibers. The results were used to reassess previous quantitative studies on the relation between number of nerve fibers and the control which nerves exert on regeneration. For a truer estimate of the number of axons affecting regeneration, fiber values previously reported should now be doubled to include the large number of unmyelinated fibers. However, calculations show that the unmyelinated fibers contribute less than 3% of the total neuroplasm in the peripheral nerve.Finally, counts made of Schwann cells and fibroblasts show that the latter are few in number.

    Notes: A histological study was undertaken of the differentiation of the lymphomyeloid complex of larvae of the common leopard frog, Rana pipiens, reared at 18-21 °C. Immature lymphocytes are first recognised in the thymus and pronephros at stage I of Taylor and Kollros ('46). By the end of stage II, small lymphocytes are regularly found among the predominant larger lymphoid cells in the thymus, in which corticomedullary differentiation has begun. At this time, a few small lymphocytes are also apparent in the ventral cavity bodies, lymph gland, pronephros, mesonephros and intestine, but rarely occur in the spleen. During stages III and IV extensive development of these components of the lymphomyeloid complex occurs. The organs now contain large numbers of mature lymphocytes and have attained states of differentiation that remain essentially similar in subsequent larval stages. By stage V, small epithelium-associated lymphoid accumulations are abundant throughout the length of the gastrointestinal tract. The anlagen of the procoracoid body and bone marrow appear just prior to metamorphosis.The kidneys are the main sites of blood formation in the larva. Masses of granulocytes are also usually found in the abundant ventral cavity bodies. A consideration of the roles of each of the organs provides insight into the ontogeny of the immune system of the Anura in general.

    Notes: The sexual apparatus was studied in 100 adult axolotls (Siredon mexicanum) for 13 different spawnings. The ages of the animals varied between two and six years. Additional material from Indiana University was also studied. Altogether there were 55 female and 52 male adult axolotls represented. The purpose of the study was to investigate the limits of the variations occurring in normal axolotls and to compare the incidences of variations and developmental abnormalities in adult animals of both sexes at various ages and belonging to different strains.Among the 13 spawnings examined, five strains were completely normal in 100% of the animals, but the remaining eight strains all included abnormal animals. The incidence of abnormal animals in some of these latter strains was 40% or even 50%. Since all of the animals were under the same conditions, the variability and the occurrence of developmental abnormalities most likely depended upon hereditary factors. Among 55 females, only seven (12.7%) were abnormal; only four of these had developmental abnormalities, and only one was hermaphrodite. Among 45 males from the author's axolotl colony, 16 (28%) were abnormal. Of these latter, six had no sex cells or very few; this variation must be regarded as a developmental abnormality. All of these malformations resulted from major degeneration processes and abnormal morphogenesis.Arrested development was also observed in many males. Spermatozoa were completely absent from the testes of eight animals. In the additional material from Indiana University (testes from 7 males), there was also one completely abnormal testis with major degeneration processes and complete absence of sex cells. It is evident that variability and the incidence of developmental abnormalities in the sexual apparatus in adult axolotls of some strains are very great.

    Notes: The sensillum of the ear of Feltia subgothica contains two ciliated receptor cells, the A cells. The cilium of each is enclosed within a well developed scolops consisting of a cap, a set of scolopalial rods and a collar, an unusual structure contained within the dendrite. The tip of the cilium is inserted in a channel in the scolopalial cap.The cap is linked to the tympanic membrane by a series of three structures: a cap cell, a microtubular shaft and a microfibrillar plug. The two latter structures are heavily reinforced by cytoskeletal elements and the microfibrillar plug is actually continuous with the tympanic membrane. These three structures transmit the vibration of the tympanic membrane to the scolops.The simplicity and accessibility of the ear suggests that it might be a good system in which to investigate cellular events associated with transduction of sound in these receptors.

    Notes: The segmental anatomy of Harmothoë imbricata deviates from the plan of a typical errant polychaete only slightly. The body is partitioned into 37 nonmetameric segments and is covered by 15 pairs of elytra. The segmental musculature consists of paired dorsal and ventral longitudinal muscles, pairs of dorso-ventral muscles, and in places the external surface of the worm is covered by a sheet of circularly coursing muscle fibers subjacent to the cuticle. The dorsal tubercles, elytrophores, cirratophores and ventral cirri are moved by muscles derived from segmental and intrinsic parapodial muscles. From the anatomy it is surmised that the lateral bending of the worm during swimming is due to cycles of activity involving the longitudinal muscles (S-waves). During a cycle of parapodial stepping, parapodial levators and promotors raise a parapodium from the substrate and direct it forward (the recovery stroke), at which time the muscles of the aciculum and setal sacs withdraw the neuropodial setae. During the power stroke parapodial depressors and remotors bring the tip of the parapodium against the substrate, applying a forward thrust and the neuropodial setae are extended. At the conclusion of the power stroke, the recovery stroke begins anew.

    Notes: Subcapsular cells lining the thymic stroma vary from low to high forms, while others have a hemocytoblastoid aspect. The purpose of the present study was to establish whether the transformation of the low forms into hemocytoblastoid subcapsular cells can be induced by an antigen. Rats given 10 Lf of diphtheria toxoid intramediastinally were killed at periods ranging from 3 to 24 hours later. Other rats were injected with 3H-thymidine at various intervals after the toxoid injection, and were killed one hour later. The observations revealed a rapid hemocytoblastoid transformation of subcapsular cells following administration of the toxoid. The transformation is detectable as early as three hours after the injection and can be completed after nine hours. Radioautography revealed that DNA duplication is initiated rapidly in the transforming subcapsular cells, since it can be completed 9 to 12 hours after the toxoid injection. Other observations suggested the transformation of reactive perithymic fibroblasts into subcapsular cells as well as the transformation of hemocytoblastoid fibroblasts and subcapsular cells into free hemocytoblastoid cells.

    Notes: Non-innervated macrotrichia and microtrichia, thick-walled chemoreceptors and three kinds of thin-walled chemoreceptors are present on the antennal flagellum of Frenesia missa. One of the thin-walled receptors, the plate organ, is of a type not previously recorded for any insect. About four times as many plate organs are present on the flagellum of the male as on that of the female. They occur also on the maxillary and labial palps.

    Notes: The present ultrastructural study of the hepatopancreas of Oniscus ascellus would seem to indicate that the entire gland functions as a true midgut and is involved in absorption and secretion. Two differentiated cell types, the S and B, are present throughout the gland except for a small area of the posterior or regenerative zone.Ultrastructural features that have been associated with absorption include the presence of a surface enteric coat, regularity of microvillar core filaments, an organelle free region under the microvilli and the uniform distribution of mitochondria below this area. These features are present in both the S and B cell types. Features that are typical of secretory cells include the presence of extensive arrays of parallel rough endoplasmic reticulum, the very active dictyosomes with dilated cisternae and large secretory bodies. These features are present in the B cell. Although occasional arrays of parallel endoplasmic reticulum were noted in the S cell, active dictyosomes with dilated cisternae were not evident.From this ultrastructural study it would appear that the B cell functions in absorption and secretion, while the S cell functions primarily in absorption. A cytochemical study is now in progress.

    Notes: Electron microscope examination of the myofibrillar material in the avian latissimus dorsi anterior (tonic) and posterior (phasic) muscles revealed that the characteristic felderstruktur arrangement of the tonic muscle fibers develops during growth. Fibers of embryonic and young latissimus dorsi anterior muscles up to 87 days after hatching exhibited a fibrillenstruktur arrangement. Unlike the phasic muscle fibers in which the myofibril mass splits into discrete and regularly shaped myofibrils, the myofibrils in the tonic muscle become felderstruktur in appearance because of incomplete splitting of the myofibrils. The incomplete splitting of the myofibrils and the less extensive sarcoplasmic reticulum in the tonic muscle were related to its slower rate of tension development. The isometric contractile tension of the muscles was measured and it was found to increase considerably during growth. The tension increase was directly related to the increase in the fiber size, and the myofibril content. The rate of contraction of both the latissimus dorsi anterior and posterior muscles was found to increase very rapidly just prior to hatching. After hatching, the rate of contraction of the anterior muscle decreases differentiating into a tonic muscle at one month. The latissimus dorsi posterior muscle remains fast throughout development.

    Notes: The stolon of the colonial marine hydroid Podocoryne carnea differentiates sequentially as a function of age, forming four distinguishable regions characterized by epidermal cell differentiation: The Tip, New Stolon, Cnidogenic Masses, Old Stolon. Radioautographs of sections of colonies exposed to tritiated thymidine show that although cells of the epidermis and gastrodermis of the stolon incorporate the nucleoside into acid stable polynucleotide, cells of the stolon tips do not. Stolon extension is not, therefore, the result of a localized meristem-like growth zone.Stolon branching and new polyp formation are, similarly, not signaled by increased thymidine incorporation. The initial event heralding these morphogenetic activities appears to be the reorientation of epidermal cells along a new axis, and the acquisition of perisarc dissolving ability. This evidence is contraindicative of direct dependence of colony form on colony growth.The larger part of stolon epidermal cells are organized into cnidogenic masses where cnidocytes and possibly other amoebocytic cells are produced.Although no mitotic figures have been observed in gastroderm cells of the stolon, thymidine incorporation in this tissue occurs with the same frequency as it does in epidermis. Considerable numbers of gastroderm cells can be found in the gastric cavity. Frequently these and gastroderm cells in the stolon and polyps contain more than one nucleus.

    Notes: The fine structure of the epidermis and cuticle has been described for the oligochaete Aeolosoma bengalense. The epidermis is a pseudostratified epithelium and consists of the following cell types: ciliated and nonciliated supportive cells, pigment cells and associated satellite cells, mucous cells, basal cells, and ciliated non-supportive columnar cells. Overlying and restricted to the supportive cells is a delicate cuticle composed of: (a) a discontinuous layer of membrane-bounded surface particles; (b) a thin filamentous layer of moderate electron density just under the surface particles; (c) a thicker inner filamentous layer of low electron density. Digestion with pronase effectively removes the cuticle. This, together with the fact that it stains with alcian blue and ruthenium red, indicates that the cuticle contains an acid mucopolysaccharide. Regeneration of the cuticle, following pronase treatment, is marked by the elaboration of numerous microvilli by the supportive cells. Most of the microvilli are transitory and evidence supports a microvillar origin for the cuticular surface particles. The presence of cuticular surface particles may be a characteristic shared in common by all oligochaetes and, perhaps, some polychaetes.

    Notes: A histochemical study of the mucus-secreting cells in the epithelial lining of the alimentary tract of the ampullariid snail Marisa cornuarietis permits description of six types of glandular cells secreting carbohydrate-rich substances. These mucous cells are designated on morphological grounds as fusiform, club-shaped, ovate, goblet, saccular and elongated conical and their histology together with their distribution and relative frequency in the different organs is described.Histochemical analysis using various fixatives and numerous recently-developed histochemical techniques shows that four main types of mucosubstances are produced by the six cell types. (1) The fusiform and club-shaped cells secrete neutral mucosubstances with moderate-to-weak PAS reactivity and variable amounts of basic protein. (2) The ovate cells secrete a strongly PAS-reactive, neutral mucosubstance lacking associated basic protein. (3) The goblet and saccular cells elaborate predominantly PAS-unreactive, strongly acidic, and highly sulfated mucosubstances or sulfomucins. (4) The elongated-conical cells secrete a highly PAS-reactive, weakly acidic sulfomucin whose vic-hydroxyls are presumably located in close proximity to sulfate esters.

    Notes: The fine structure of the antenna and of the antennal sensory cone, the largest of the eight antennal sensilla, of fourth instar larvae of the mosquito Aedes aegypti are described and discussed. The antennal integument supports and encloses only sensillar elements. The antennal sensory cone seems to be a chemoreceptor of a modified composite basiconic type. It is innervated by about 12 neurons grouped into six units. Each neuronal unit has a trichogen and tormogen cell, but no neurilemma or other accessory cells, associated with it. Stimulating molecules may diffuse directly through the non-perforate conical cuticular covering to the dendritic branches, and through six vacuoles between the dendrites and the epicuticle at the base of the cone. Peripheral vesicles in the cone, their probable formation from secretions produced in the junction body region, and their possible function in the stimulating mechanism of the sense organ are described and discussed. Dendritic neurotubules originate from ciliary tubules in the junction body region, in the dendritic plasma, or by branching. Tight junctions provide possible electrotonic coupling between all the dendritic branches of the sensillum, and between dendrites in each unit. The neuronal perikaryons and portions of the axons and proximal dendrites are not ensheathed, but extend naked in close proximity through the antennal hemo-sinus into an ensheathed nerve at the base of the antenna.

    Notes: Two trionychid turtles, Trionyx ferox and Lissemys punctata, have similar and distinctive nasal cavities. Most of the parts of the nasal cavities are similar to those in other turtles, but the intermediate regions have many more small ridges and shallow sulci than do those of other turtles; these form a highly complex and distinctive pattern that varies in minor details. In turtles generally, a relatively large intermediate region appears to be correlated with strongly aquatic habits, which supports the interpretation that the vomeronasal epithelium of that region functions in olfaction in an aquatic environment.

    Notes: The salivary gland of Periplaneta americana (L.) is innervated from both the stomatogastric nervous system (SNS) and subesophageal ganglion (SEG). Methylene-blue preparations, histological sections and electron microscopy revealed a pair of nerves from the SEG, each of which contains two axons 5-7 μ in diameter, and these are accompanied by several smaller ones. The nerves going to the salivary glands from the SNS contain a dozen or more axons, each less than 2 μ thick. Axons from two sources innervate the efferent salivary ducts, the acini, the anterior ends of the salivary reservoirs, and the reservoir suspensory muscles. A nerve which has reached an acinus forms a plexus upon its surface. Electron micrographs disclose penetration of axons with or without glial wrappings, into the intercellular spaces between gland cells. Axons without glial wrappings have been observed in intimate contact with gland-cell membranes, and several areas which resemble synaptic junctions have been seen.

    Notes: The morphology of the retinal pigment epithelium and photoreceptor cells has been studied in the common newt Triturus viridescens dorsalis by light, conventional transmission and scanning electron microscopy.The pigment epithelium is formed by a single layer of low rectangular cells, separated by a multilayered membrane (Bruch's membrane) from the vessels of the choriocapillaris. The scleral border of the pigment epithelium is highly infolded and each epithelial cell contains smooth endoplasmic reticulum, myeloid bodies, mitochondria, lysosomes, phagosomes and an oval nucleus. Inner, pigment laden, epithelial processes surround the photoreceptor outer and inner segments.The three retinal photoreceptor types, rods, single cones and double cones, differ in both external and internal appearance. The newt, rod, outer segments appear denser than the cones in both light and electron micrographs, due to a greater number of rod lamellae per unit distance of outer segment and to the presence of electron dense intralamellar bands. The rod outer segments possess deep incisures in the lamellae while the cone lamellae lack incisures. Both rod and cone outer segments are supported by a peripheral array of dendritic processes containing longitudinal filaments which originate in the inner segment. The inner segment mitochondria, forming the rod ellipsoid, arelong and narrow while those in the cone are spherical to oval in shape. The inner segments of all three receptor cell types also contain a glycogen-filled paraboloid and a myoid region, just outside the nucleus, rich in both rough and smooth endoplasmic reticulum. The elongate, cylindrical nuclei differ in density. The rod nuclei are denser than those of the cones, contain clumped chromatin and usually extend further vitreally. Similarly, the cytoplasm of the rod synaptic terminal is denser than its cone counterpart and contains synaptic vesicles almost twice as large as those of the cones. Photoreceptor synapses in rods and cones are established by both superficial and invaginated contacts with bipolar or horizontal cells.
