    Notes: Cofilin is a small actin-binding protein which reguiates actin polymerization in a pH-dependent manner. Immunofluorescence microscopy with a monoclonal antibody for cofilin revealed that this protein is temporarily concentrated at the contractile ring during cytokinesis. Cofilin appeared to accumulate rapidly at the contractile ring during late stages of furrowing, and was finally enriched at the midbody. The concentration of cofilin at the contractile ring was observed in several kinds of cultured cells. Furthermore, cofilin introduced into living cells by a microinjection method was also concentrated at the contractile ring. These results suggest that cofilin is involved in actin reorganization during cytokinesis. © 1995 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

    Notes: Infection of host cells by Listeria monocytogenes results in the recruitment of cytoplasmic actin into a tail-like appendage that projects from one end of the bacterium. Each filamentous actin tail progressively lengthenes, providing the force which drives the bacterium in a forward direction through the cytoplasm and later results in Listeria cell-to-cell spread. Host cell actin monomers are incorporated into the filamentous actin tail at a discrete site, the bacterial-actin tail interface. We have studied the consequences of microinjecting three different actin monomer-binding proteins on the actin tail assembly and Listeria intracellular movement. Introduction of high concentrations of profilin (estimated injected intracellular concentration 11-22 m̈M) into infected PtK2 cells causes a marked slowing of actin tail elongation and bacterial migration. Lower intracellular concentrations of two other injected higher affinity monomer-sequenstering proteins, Vitamin D-binding protein (DBP; 1-2 m̈M) and DNase I (6-7 m̈M) completely block bacterial-induced actin assembly and bacterial migration. The onset of inhibition by each protein is gradual (10-20 min) indicating that the mechanisms by which these proteins interfere with Listeria-induced actin assembly are likely to be complex. To exclude the possibility that Listeria recruits preformed actin filaments to generate the tails and that these monomer-binding proteins act by depolymerizing such performed actin filaments, living infected cells have been injected with fluorescently labeled phalloidin (3 m̈M). Although the stress fibers are labeled, no fluorescent phalloidin is found in the tails of the moving bacteria. These results demonstrate that Listeria-induced actin assembly in PtK2 cells is the result of assembly of actin monomers into new filaments and that Listeria's ability to recruit polymerization competent monomeric actin is very sensitive to the introduction of exogenous actin monomer-binding proteins. © 1995 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

    Notes: Gelsolin, a Ca++ activated, 90 kd actin binding protein, can regulate actin polymerization in polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) via severing of filaments to dissolve gels or by capping of filament ends to limit polymerization. In Triton-lysed PMNs, 30% of gelsolin is bound to the Triton-soluble F-actin (TSF) pool and none is bound to the Triton-insoluble F-actin (TIF) pool. Calcium-activated PMNs exhibit concurrent temporal and quantitative TIF growth and TSF and total F-actin loss. To determine if gelsolin plays a role in regulating TSF pool size, we monitored gelsolin-actin interactions and TIF, TSF and G-actin content at 5 second intervals in PMNs activated with the calcium ionophore, ionomycin. Actin pools were measured by NBDphallacidin binding and by gel scans and expressed relative to basal; gelsolin-actin interactions were measured as change in the amount of EGTA-resistant gelsolin:actin (G:A) complexes and by immunoblot quantification of gelsolin in actin pools. In basal PMNs, 33% of PMN gelsolin is bound in 1:1 EGTA-resistant G:A complexes and TSF and TIF retain 30% and 0% of PMN gelsolin, respectively. By 20 seconds after ionomycin addition, TSF decreases, TIF increases and a fraction of gelsolin repartitions from the TSF to the TIF pool. At maximum change (60 seconds), total F-actin (TIF + TSF) and TSF decrease and TIF increases by 25%; gelsolin is bound to both TSF and TIF (35% of total gelsolin in each pool), and 1:1 EGTA-resistant G:A complexes increase from 33% to 70%. No changes occur in cells activated by ionomycin in the absence of Ca++. The data show Ca++ activated TIF growth and TSF loss are temporally and quantitatively associated with an increase in the percent of gelsolin bound to actin and the translocation of gelsolin from TSF to TIF. This is unique, since no other PMN activator is known to repartition gelsolin into TIF actin. Further, the Ca++ activated initial increase in TIF concurrent with a fall in TSF without a change in total F-actin or G-actin content suggest that TIF grows initially only by TSF annealing/cross-linking to TIF. Gelsolin may regulate these events. © 1995 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

    Notes: Isolated microtubules from cod (Gadus morhua) are apparently more stable to colchicine than bovine microtubules. In order to further characterize this difference, the effect of the colchicine analogue 2-methoxy-5-(2,3,4-trimethoxyphenyl)-2,4,6-cyclo heptatrien-1-one (MTC) was studied on assembly, as measured by turbidity and sedimentation analysis, and on polymer morphology. MTC has the advantage to bind fast and reversible to the colchicine binding site of tubulin even at low temperatures. It was found to bind to one site in cod brain tubulin, with affinity (6.5 ± 1.5) × 105M 1at both low or high temperature, similarly to bovine brain tubulin. However, the effect of the binding differed. At substoichiometric concentrations of MTC bovine brain microtubule assembly was almost completely inhibited, while less effect was seen on the mass of polymerized cod microtubule proteins. A preformed bovine tubulin-colchicine complex inhibited the assembly of both cod and bovine microtubules at substoichiometric concentrations, but the effect on the assembly of cod microtubules was less. At higher concentrations (5 × 10-5 to 1 × 10-3M), MTC induced a large amount of cold-stable spirals of cod proteins, whereas abnormal polymers without any defined structure were formed from bovine proteins. Spirals of cod microtubule proteins were only formed in the presence of microtubule associated proteins (MAPs), indicating that the morphological effect of MTC can be modulated by MAPs. The effects of colchicine and MTC differed. At 10-5M colchicine no spirals were formed, while at 10-4M and 10-3M, a mixture of spirals and aggregates was found. The morphology of the spirals differed both from vinblastine spirals and from the spirals previously found when cod microtubule proteins polymerize in the presence of high Ca2concentrations. The present data show that even if the colchicine binding site is conserved between many different species, the bindings have different effects which seem to depend on intrinsic properties of the different tubulins. © 1995 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

    Notes: In diverse cell types, monoclonal antibody MPM-2 recognizes a class of phosphorylated proteins related to microtubule organizing centers and abundant during mitosis. We have used this antibody in an attempt to identify the spatial and temporal localization of putative microtubule organizing centers in endosperm cells of the higher plant Haemanthus. Our results show that MPM-2 recognized epitope is present in interphase cells and enriched in mitotic cells. In interphase the antibody usually stains cytoplasmic granules. During the interphase-prophase transition immunoreactive material appears in the nucleus, at the nuclear envelope, and in association with microtubules. Concomitantly, we observed an increase of immunoreactivity of the cytoplasm. During mitosis the phosphorproteins recognized by MPM-2 are detected in the cytoplasm, in association with microtubules of the spindle, the phragmoplast, and in the newly-formed cell plate. After completion of mitosis, only the cell plate and cytoplasmic granules are MPM-2 positive. Extraction of the cells with Triton X-100 prior to fixation removes staining of the cytoplasm by MPM-2. The detergent resistant immunoreactive material remains associated with surrounding the nucleus microtubules of the prophase spindle, the core of kinetochore fibers, and the phragmoplast. In the phragmoplast, however, segments of microtubules which are distal to the cell plate are depleted of MPM-2.These data demonstrate that microtubule arrays of endosperm cells are phosphorylated during mitosis. Thus, similar to animal cells, interphase and mitotic microtubules of higher plants have different properties. Additionally, the localization of detergent resistant MPM-2 antigen points to the difference in microtubule nucleation/organization between higher plant and animal cells.

    Notes: To investigate the mechanism of the flagellar quiescence in sperm, we examined the effect of electric stimulation of individual spermatozoa of the sea urchin, Hemicentrotus pulcherrimus. Stimulation with a suction electrode attached to the sperm head elicited a flagellar quiescence response, in which the sperm showed a typical cane-shaped bend in the proximal region of the flagellum when the electrode was used as anode. Cathodic stimulation also induced quiescence, but was much less effective than anodic stimulation. During the quiescence response, which lasted for 1-3 s, no new bend was initiated, and subsequently the flagellum resumed normal beating. The quiescence response required the presence of Ca2+ (〉2 mM) in sea water, and was inhibited by Co2+ and La3+. At low Ca2+ concentrations (2-5 mM), the angle of the cane-shaped bend was smaller than that at 10 mM Ca2+; thus the angle of the cane-shaped bend, characteristic of the quiescence response is dependent on Ca2+ concentration. These results suggest membrane, followed by an influx of Ca2+ into the flagellum through Ca2+ channels. The increase in Ca2+ concentration within the flagellum affects the amount of sliding and thus produces a cane-shaped proximal bend of various angles, white inhibiting both the propagation of the proximal bend (principal bend) and the formation of a new reverse bend.

    Notes: Microtubule (MT) dynamics vary both spatially and temporally within cells and are thought to be important for proper MT cellular function. Because MT dynamics appear to be closely tied to the guanosine triphosphatase (GTPase) activity of β-tubulin subunits, we examined the importance of MT dynamics in the budding yeast S. cerevisiae by introducing a T107K point mutation into a region of the single β-tubulin gene, TUB2, known to affect the assembly-dependent GTPase activity of MTs in vitro. Analysis of MT dynamic behavior by video-enhanced differential interference contrast microscopy, revealed that T107K subunits slowed both the growth rates and catastrophic disassembly rates of individual MTs in vitro. In haploid cells tub2-T107K is lethal; but in tub2-T107K/tub2-590 heterozygotes the mutation is viable, dominant, and slows cell-cycle progression through mitosis, without causing wholesale disruption of cellular MTs. The correlation between the slower growing and shortening rates of MTs in vitro, and the slower mitosis in vivo suggests that MT dynamics are important in budding yeast and may regulate the rate of nuclear movement and segregation. The slower mitosis in mutant celis did not result in premature cytokinesis and cell death, further suggesting that cell-cycle control mechanisms “sense” the mitotic slowdown, possibly by monitoring MT dynamics directly. © 1995 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

    Notes: A protein component of 62-kDa (p62) in the mitotic apparatus of the sea urchin embryo has been shown to be important for the proper progression of mitosis [Dinsmore and Sloboda, 1989: Cell 57:127-134]. To study the subcellular distribution of p62 during the cell cycle of sea urchin embryos, indirect immunofluorescence microscopy was used coupled to a modified detergent extraction procedure. The improved fluorescent images obtained by this procedure provide new information concerning the subcellular localization of p62 during the cell cycle that could not be obtained with previous conventional staining procedures [Johnston and Sloboda, 1992: J. Cell Biol. 119:843-854]. Using affinity purified antibodies to p62, we observed a cell cycle-dependent localization of p62 to the chromosomes/chromatin. Prior to nuclear envelope breakdown of the first or second cell cycle, p62 localizes to chromatin in the nucleus. During mitosis, p62 associates with the region of the spindle occupied by the microtubules of the mitotic apparatus. As anaphase proceeds, but before the nuclear envelope reforms, p62 becomes progressively associated with the chromosomes. Thus, p62 is incorporated into the forming interphase nucleus due to its association with chromosomes during late anaphase, rather than by active translocation into the newly formed daughter nuclei through the nuclear pores. The protein is not unique to marine embryos, as demonstrated by immunofluorescence of Y-1 cells, a mouse adrenal tumor cell line In these cells, the localization of p62 is similar to the localization of the protein in echinoderm embryos, suggesting its possible function in mitotic progression in mammalian somatic cells as well. © 1995 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

    Notes: Fibroblats cultured on grooved substrata align themselves and migrate in the direction of the grooves, a phenomenon called contact guidance. Microtubules have been deemed important for cell polarization, directed locomotion, and contact guidance. Because microtubules were the first cytoskeletal element to align with the grooves when fibroblasts spread on grooved substrata, we investigated the consequences of eliminating the influence of microtubules by seeding fibro-blasts onto smooth and grooved micromachined substrata in the presence of colcemid. Fibroblasts were examined by time-lapse cinematography and epifluorescence or confocal microscopy to determine cell shape and orientation and the distribution of cytoskeletal or associated elements including actin filaments, vinculin, intermediate filaments, microtubules, and kinesin.As expected, cells spreading on smooth surfaces in the presence of colcemid did not polarize or locomote. Surprisingly however, by 24 hours, cells spread on grooves in the presence of colcemid were morphologically indistinguishable from controls spread on grooves. Both groups were aligned and polarized with the direction of the grooves and demonstrated directional locomotion along the grooves. In the absence of microtubules, kinesin localized to some of the aligned stress fibers and to leading edges of cells spreading on grooves. The grooved substratum compensated for the microtubule deficiency by organizing and maintaining an aligned actin filament framework. Thus, microtubules are not required to establish or maintain stable, polarized cell shapes or directed locomotion, provided an alternate oriented cytoskeletal component is available.

    Notes: The flageliar axoneme of the mutant pf18 lacking the central pair does not beat, but undergoes a nanometer-scale, high-frequency oscillation (hyper-oscillation) in the presence of ATP [Yagi et al., 1994: Cell Motil, Cytoskeleton 29:177-185]. The present study demonstrates that the amplitude of the hyper-oscillation increases significantly in the simultaneous presence of ATP and ADP. In addition, the hyper-oscillation under these conditions sometimes takes on an exceptionally simple asymmetric pattern, in which the maximal shearing velocity exceeds 50 μm/sec, much higher than the maximal velocity of ordinary dynein-microtubule sliding. The asymmetric oscillation thus appears to be at least partly driven by an internal elastic force. Its amplitude suggests that the axoneme has an elastic component that can be stretched by as long as 0.1 μm. Analyses of the asymmetric pattern further suggests that the axonemal dyneins have a tendency to attach to and detach from the doublets cooperatively and that the mechanochemical cycle of dynein has an inherent refractory period of about 2 msec, during which dynein cannot interact with microtubules.

    Notes: Computer-assisted methods have been employed to obtain a high resolution description of pseudopod expansion, cellular translocation, and the subcellular dynamics of MSP fiber complexes in the motile sperm of the nematode Ascaris suum. Although Ascaris sperm translocating in a straight line or along a curved path do not retract their pseudopod or significantly alter pseudopod shape, they move in a cyclic fashion, with an average period between velocity peaks of 0.35 × 0.05 min, which is independent of the forward velocity of sperm translocation. Expansion is confined to a central zone at the distal edge of the pseudopod for sperm translocating in a straight line and to a left-handed or right-handed lateral zone in the direction of turning, for sperm translocating along a curved path. For cells translocating in a straight line, the branch points and kinks of MSP fiber complexes move in a retrograde direction in relation to the substratum at an average velocity of 11 μm per min which is independent of the forward velocity of sperm translocation. The distal (anterior) end of a fiber complex, however, moves distally at the speed of sperm translocation when it emanates from the expansion zone, but when it is displaced to a nonexpanding surface of the pseudopod, it stops moving distally. When a cell is anchored to the substratum and is, therefore, nonmotile, the velocity of fiber complexes moving in a retrograde direction doubles. The unique aspects of pseudopod and MSP fiber complex dynamics in Ascaris are compared to the dynamics of pseudopod formation and actin filament dynamics in traditional actin-based amoeboid cells, and the treadmill model for MSP polymerization is reassessed in light of the discovery that fiber complex branch points move proximally (posteriorly) at a fixed rate.

    Notes: We previously reported the expression of ZO-1 in cell types that do not form tight junctions. Here we compare the molecular environments of ZO-1 in epithelial cells, primary cultures of astrocytes and in the non-epithelial S180 sarcoma cell line. ZO-1 co-localizes with a subset of actin filament in all cell types. In astrocytes, ZO-1 is found concentrated in discrete bands at points of cell-cell contact. Indirect immunofluorescent microscopy shows that these bands of ZO-1 co-localize with the adherens junction proteins vinculin and α-actinin, and with the antigen recognized by a pan-cadherin antibody. In contrast, ZO-1 in S180 cells, which exhibit limited cell-cell interactions, is diffusely distributed over the plasma membrane, with concentrations in lamellipodia where actin filaments accumulate. ZO-1 does not co-localize with vinculin at focal adhesions in this cell type. Analysis of ZO-1 immunoprecipitation profiles from different cell types, performed under conditions previously demonstrated to maintain interactions between ZO-1, ZO-2 and p130 from the MDCK epithelial cell line, show that the proteins which co-precipitate with ZO-1 vary with cell type. Precipitation of polypeptides at 165 kDa, potentially ZO-2, and 65 kDa occurs in both a mouse kidney tubule epithelial cell line and the non-epithelial S180 cells. No proteins specifically associate with ZO-1 immunoprecipitated from astrocytes. Spectrin, α-actinin, vinculin and cadherin are not detected in immunoblots of ZO-1 immunoprecipitates from any cell type. © 1995 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

    Notes: We report the cloning and sequencing of genomic DNA encoding a cytoplasmic dynein heavy chain from the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans. In a contiguous stretch of 35,103 bp of DNA from the left arm of linkage group I, we have found a gene that is predicted to encode a protein of 4,568 amino acids. This gene is composed of 15 exons and 14 relatively short introns, and it has significant homology of the other dynein heavy chains in the databases. The deduced molecular mass of the derived polypeptide is 512,624 Da. As with other dynein heavy chains that have been sequenced to date, it contains four GXXGXGK(S/T) motifs that form part of the consensus sequence for nucleotide triphosphate-binding domains. Comparison of axonemal and cytoplasmic dynein heavy chains shows that regions of homology among all dyneins are clustered in the carboxyl terminal two-thirds of the polypeptide, whereas the amino terminal one-third of the heavy chains may contain domains that specify functions that differ between axonemal and cytoplasmic forms of the dynein heavy chain. © 1995 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

    Notes: The following is a summary of physiological and pharmacological studies of the regulation of dynein-driven microtubule sliding in Chlamydomonas flagella. The experimental basis for the study is described, and data indicating that an axonemal cAMP-dependent protein kinase can regulate inner arm dynein activity are reviewed. In addition, preliminary data are summarized indicating that an axonemal type 1 phosphatase can also regulate dynein-drive microtubule sliding velocity. It is predicted that the protein kinase, phosphatase, and an inner dynein arm component form a regulatory complex in the axoneme.

    Notes: Although the specific functions of myosin I motors are not known, their localization to membrane structures suggests a function in membrane motility. Different myosin I isoforms in the same cell or in different cells can possess different localizations. To determine if the localization and biochemical activity of the best-characterized mammalian myosin I, chicken intestinal epithelium brush border myosin I, was dependent on determinants of the membrane or actin cytoskeleton specific to epithelial cells, we transfected the cDNA for the heavy chain of this myosin into COS cells. Transient transfection of COS cells with the chicken brush border myosin I heavy chain resulted in the production of recombinant myosin I. Recombinant brush border myosin I localized to protrusions of the plasma membrane, particularly at spreading cell edges, and also to unknown cytoplasmic structures. Some cells expressing particularly high levels of brush border myosin I possessed a highly irregular surface. Recombinant brush border myosin I purified from COS cells bound to actin filaments in an ATP-dependent manner and decorated actin filaments to form a characteristic appearance. The recombinant myosin also catalyzed calcium-sensitive, actin-activated MgATPase activity similar to that of the native enzyme. Thus, any cellular factor required for the general membrane localization or biochemical activity of brush border myosin I is present in COS cells as well as intestinal epithelium.

    Notes: Fascin is an actin-bundling protein that was first isolated from cytoplasmic extracts of sea urchin eggs [Kane, 1975: J. Cell Biol. 66:305-315] and was the first bundling protein to be charactrized in vitro. Subsequent work has shown that fascin bundles actin filaments in fertilized egg microvilli and filopodia of phagocytic coelomocytes [Otto et al., 1980: Cell Motil. 1:31-40; Otto and Bryan, 1981: Cell Motil. 1:179-192]. Fifteen years later, the molecular cloning of sea urchin fascin [Bryan et al., 1993: Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 90:9115-9119] has led to the identification and characterization of homologous proteins in Drosophila [Cant et al., 1994: J. Cell Biol. 125:369-380], Xenopus [Holthuis et al., 1994: Biochim. Biophys. Acta. 1219:184-188], rodents [Edwards et al., 1995: J. Biol. Chem. 270:10764-10770], and humans [Duh et al., 1994: DNA Cell Biol. 13:821-827; Mosialos et al., 1994: J. Virol. 68:7320-7328] that bundle actin filaments into structures which stabilize cellular processes ranging from mechanosensory bristles to the filopodia of nerve growth cones. Fascin has emerged from relative obscurity as an exotic invertebrate egg protein to being recognized as a widely expressed protein found in a broad spectrum of tissues and organisms. This purpose of this review is to relate the early studies done on sea urchin and HeLa cell fascins to the recent molecular biology that defines a family of bundling proteins, and discuss the current state of knowledge regarding fascin structure and function. © 1995 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

    Notes: The Study of microtubule (MT) dynamics in cells has largely been restricted to events occurring over relatively short periods in nonmotile or stationary cell in culture. By using the antioxidant, Oxyrase, we have reduced the sensitivity of fluorescent MTs to photodamage and this has allowed us to image fluorescent MTs with good temporal resolution over much longer periods of time. We have used our enhanced imaging capabilities to examine MT dynamics in fibroblasts moving directionally into a wound. We found that MTs in these cells exhibited dynamic instability similar to that reported for other cells. More interestingly, we found a novel dynamic behavior of the MTs in wihch entire MTs were moved inward from the leading edge toward the cell nucleus. This centripetal transport (CT) of MTs only occurred to those MTs that were oriented with their long axis parallel to the leading edge; radially oriented MTs were not transported centripetally. Both small bundles of MTs and individual MTs were observed to undergo CT at a rate of 0.63 × 0.37 μm/min. This rate was similar to the rate of CT of latex beads applied to the cell surface and of endogenous pinocytotic vesicles in the cytoplasm. When we imaged both MTs and pinocytotic vesicles, we found that the pinocytotic vesicles were ensheathed by a small group of parallel MTs that moved centripetally in concert with the vesicles. Conversely, we found many instances of MTs moving centripetally without associated vesicles. When cells were treated with nocodazole to depolymerize MTs rapidly, the rate of pinocytotic vesicle CT was inhibited by 75%. This suggests that centripetal transport of MTs may be involved in the movement of pinocytotic vesicles in cells. In conclusion, our results show that MTs in motile cells are redistributed by a novel mechanism, CT, that does not require changes in polymer length. The centripetally transported MTs may play a role in transporting pinocytotic vesicles in the cell. © 1995 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

    Notes: Caldesmon is an actin, calmodulin, tropomyosin, and myosin binding protein implicated in the regulation of actomyosin interactions. We have invesigated the effect of overexpression of the higher molecular weight smooth muscle isoform of caldesmon on mouse L cell physiology. Mouse L(TK-) cell were transfected stably with plasmids carrying the TK+ gene and a full length human smooth muscle caldesmon cDNA under control of the adenovirus major late promoter. Two clones displaying four and eight times the level of the endogenous mouse high molecular weight caldesmon were isolated. These cells acquire a distinct phenotype characterized by an altered morphology, including an increased number of processes and larger area due to enhanced cell spreading, and a significantly slower growth rate than that of untransfected control cells, or cells transfected with the TK+ gene alone. The majority of the overexpressed caldesmon appears to be active and localized on cytoskeleton structures as determined by detergent lysis. Immuno-fluorescence analysis of the clones revealed that the caldesmon is localized as punctate staining on stress-fibers and in membrane ruffles. The immunofluores-cence images suggest that caldesmon overexpressing cells have more total filaments than control cells. The effects of excess caldesmon on cell mobility are ambiguous: one clone displayed increased motility compared to the control, while the motility of the second clone was decreased relative to the control. © 1995 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

    Notes: Salivary gland neoplastic myoepithelial cells in culture form very thin cytoplasmic processes in which the vimentin network is well dispersed. These vimentin filaments can be individually visualized by immunofluorescence. In this study, we have analyzed the role of microtubules in the distension and organization of the vimentin filament network found in these cells. We find that vimentin filaments colocalize along microtubules; however, a significant number of filaments can also be found in microtubule-free domains. Additionally, vimentin filaments are absent from large domains of microtubule inhibitor nocodazole did not cause any retraction of the distended vimentin network. This observation suggests that the structural integrity of microtubules is not important for the stability of the vimentin network. Combining procedures for transient disruption of vimentin filaments and microtubules we observed that, in the absence of microtubules, the vimentin network could reassemble in the perinuclear region but was unable to extend toward the cell periphery. The dispersion of vimentin filaments to the peripheral regions of the cytoplasm could only be observed upon microtubule reassembly. This indicates that microtubules are not required for the stability of the vimentin network, but the dispersion of vimentin filaments to the peripheral cytoplasm depends on active interactions with microtubules. © 1995 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

    Notes: Profficiency tests raise two types of problems: (i) the homogeneity of a sample must be carefully checked before using it as a reference material; (ii) it is necessary to define a conventional reference value (RV) in order to rank participants. Since these topics are poorly addressed in the literature, a reference material was specially prepared in order to propose a procedure for verifying homogeneity and to establish whether the algorithms classically used to compute the conventional true value have an influence on the conclusion of the test.The homogeneity of the sample was not perfect and univariate and multivariate techniques were used to demonstrate some analytes can be suspected as heterogeneous. However, this was considered adequate for introducing the sample in a large proficiency test organized between four laboratory associations which regularly perform such tests. Altogether more than 3000 measurements were collected and eight algorithms were applied to compute the RV on 14 analytes. Thus is was possible to demonstrate that some of these algorithms are better adapted than others. It is also obvious that some analytes are better suited to proficiency testing.It can be concluded from this work that some effort towards standardization would be profitable to check homogeneity or to compute the RV, especially since the economic weight of proficiency testing is becoming even more important with the development of certification accreditation.

    Notes: In analytical chemistry a single fitted calibration model is used repeatedly to predict the level of the analyte of interest for the specimens comprising the prediction set. Unlike the calibration (or training) set, which is often limited in size, the prediction set can be very large.In the case of multivariate calibration a number of methods such as PLS and PCR are commonly used to construct the calibration model. The set of instrumental measurements and the reference analyte level are available for each specimen in the calibration set. For specimens in the prediction set, only the instrumental measurements are available, since the problem is to predict the analyte level for these specimens. It is not widely recognized that predictions of the analyte levels for individual specimens can be improved by utilizing seemingly unrelated information from the instrumental measurements associated with the other members of the prediction set. In the case of PCR there exists a very straightforward procedure for doing this. A description of the various sources of prediction errors is provided to explain the ability of PCR to utilize this additional information. The use of PCR in this context is illustrated with both a synthetic and a real example.

    Notes: The use of principal component regression (PCR) as a multivariate calibration method has been discussed by a number of authors. In most situations principal components are included in the regression model in sequence based on the variances of the components, and the principal components with small variances are rarely used in regression. As pointed out by some authors, a low variance for a component does not necessarily imply that the corresponding component is unimportant, especially when prediction is of primary interest. In this paper we investigate a different version of PCR, correlation principal component regression (CPCR). In CPCR the importance of principal components in terms of predicting the response variable is used as a basis for the inclusion of principal components in the regression model. Two typical examples arising from calibrating near-infrared (NIR) instruments are discussed for the comparison of the two different versions of PCR along with partial least squares (PLS), a commonly used regression approach in NIR analysis. In both examples the three methods show similar optimal prediction ability, but CPCR performs better than standard PCR and PLS in terms of the number of components needed to achieve the optimal prediction ability. Similar results are also seen in other NIR examples.

    Notes: The spectral region from 700 to 3600 cm-1 is subdivided into several wave number intervals. The peaks in each interval are summarized by means of three encoding algorithms. Using a factor model of kcommon factors, the total extractable variacnce (com) of a given set of intervals is calculated and correlated with the redundancy of information in all these intervals. The value of com is verified by analysis of the factor loadings aik (factor pattern). Finally, the information content of some chosen sets of intervals coded by the three selected feature algorithms will be correlated to the probability of information flow through a serial-parallel network. The encoding using only wave numbers was found to be the most effective.

    Notes: The formal application of a Hansch analysis to a series of 3-quinuclidinyl benzylates (QNBs) led to a ‘statistically significant’ QSAR equation. In contrast, the application of the MASCA model has shown that the design matrix is unsuitable for each QSAR analysis: one sample member is an outlier but not a high-leverage or influential point; another one is an influential point, a high-leverage point and an extra-carrier point. The regressors of the design matrix are multicollinear without predictive model power. The result of such flagged observation and this type of multicollinearity is a multiple cluster correlation. The QNB series is a good example for ‘sampling artifacts’ where no practically important but artificial QSARs can be found.

It is primarily written for practitioners who wish to understand and compare the main ideas of each approach and to apply them to their work. Two examples are used to illustrate the different approaches and their corresponding data analysis strategies: the first one is a constructed example on a pigment kneading process and the second one is real example dealing with the validation of an HPLC method. A comparison of the different approaches is provided and some practical recommendations are formulated.

    Notes: A simple iteration algorithm that is faster and less memory-intensive than the NIPALS iteration algorithm for PLS regression is presented. The iteration algorithm is obtained by treating the orthogonal expansion or decomposition of a matrix X as an extremum problem subject to normalization and orthogonality constraint conditions and then solving the problem by use of the method of Lagrange multipliers. The main idea in this method is to find the transformation vector r. The latent variable t is expressed exactly as the linear combination of X-variables with the vector r so that the final regression coefficients can be conveniently provided. In the algorithm the recursion of the orthogonal projection is needed, which is derived by use of a matrix inverse formula. Algorithms are established from the equation for calculating the vector r that are suitable for dealing with three cases of large data sets. The first case is when the number of objects is very large, the number of variables is relatively small and the number of Y-variables is equal to or greater than the number of X-variables. The second case is when the number of objects is very large, the number of variables is relatively small and the number of X-variables is greater than the number of Y-variables. The last case is when the number of variables, either X- or Y-variables, or both, is very large and the number of objects is small.

    Notes: This communication describes the combination of a feedforward neural network (NN) with one hidden neuron and partial least squares (PLS) regression. Through training of the neural network with an algorithm that is a combination of a modified simplex, PLS and certain numerical restrictions, one gains an NN solution that has several feasible properties: (i) as in PLS the solution is qualitatively interpretable; (ii) it works faster than or comparably with ordinary training algorithms for neural networks; (iii) it contains the linear solution as a limiting case. Another very important aspect of this training algorithm is the fact that outlier detection as in ordinary PLS is possible through loadings, scores and residuals. The algorithm is used on a simple non-linear problem concerning fluorescence spectra of white sugar solutions.

    Notes: This is Part II of a series concerning the PLS kernel algorithm for data sets with many variables and few objects. Here the issues of cross-validation and missing data are investigated. Both partial and full crossvalidation are evaluated in terms of predictive residuals and speed and are illustrated on real examples. Two related approaches to the solution of the missing data problem are presented. One is a full EM algorithm and the second a reduced EM algorithm which applies when the number of missing values is small. The two examples are multivariate calibration data sets. The first set consists of UV-visible data measured on mixtures of four metal ions. The second example consists of FT-IR measurements on mixtures consisting of four different organic substances.

    Notes: A new set of derived variables is proposed for exhibiting group separation in multivariate data on for preprocessing such data prior to discriminant analysis. The technique combines optimal features of canonical variate analysis and principal component analysis: the derived variables are linear combinations of the original variables that optimize the canonical variate criterion (ratio of between-group to within-group variance) but subject to the orthogonality constraints of principal components. In this formulation the canonical variates can be derived even when the within-group matrix is singular (i.e. when there are more variables than objects in the data matrix). A simple computational algorithm for extraction of these variables is proposed. The methods are illustrated on several data sets and compared with alternative techniques such as principal component analysis and partial least squares.

    Notes: The radical terpolymerization of the donor-acceptor-donor monomer system, phenanthrene (P) - maleic anhydride (M) - trans-stilbene (S), was studied. These monomers are known to be nonhomopolymerizable. The terpolymerization was carried out in p-dioxane and/or toluene at 70°C in the presence of benzoyl peroxide used as the initiator. P and S were found to form charge transfer complexes (CTC) with M in p-dioxane at 35°C. The results obtained are discussed in terms of the free monomer and complex propagation models. It is shown that terpolymerization is carried out at a stage close to binary copolymerization of two complexomers. The reactivity ratio of P … M and S … M complexes was estimated by the Kelen-Tüdös method. Absorbance ratios at 1770 cm-1 (vC=0 of anhydride group), 764 cm-1 (δCH in monosubstituted benzene of S), and 820 cm-1 (δCH in disubstituted benzene of P) as a function of terpolymer composition were established. P - M - S terpolymers are shown to have high thermal stabilities. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) has been converted to an electrically conductive structure by combined electrochemical and photochemical methods. PVC was cast on a polypyrrole (PPy) film electrode which had been electrochemically prepared. The PVC layer in the laminated PVC/PPy films was first dehydrochlorinated under the illumination of UV light, and the generated polyenes were subsequently doped with I2 and FeCl3. The maximum electrical conductivity achieved for such PVC film was 2.51 X 10-2 and 8.63 10-2 S cm-1 after I2 and FeCl3 doping, respectively. The temperature dependence of the electrical conductivity showed different behavior in higher and lower temperature ranges. In the former (T 〉 243 K), the T-1 law held, and the activation energy and bandgap were estimated as 0.25 and 0.49 eV, respectively. In the latter (T 〈 243 K), the conductivity mechanism followed the variable range hopping model (T-1/4 law) in which the radius of the localized state wave function and the density of the localized states at the Fermi level were 1.25 × 103 Å and 1.03 X 1015 eV-1 cm-3, respectively. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: The dominant species in the early stages of an emulsifier-free emulsion polymerization of styrene has been found to be an oligomer of two to three monomer units using a novel trapping technique. This involved the intercalation of charged primary oligomers between the layers of a hydrotalcite, [Mg4Al2(OH)12]2+[A]2- (where A = dianion). Hydrotalcites are an important class of lamellar, inorganic compounds whose interlayer spacing can be mod-ified by anion exchange. Our approach first involved preparing a hydrotalcite precursor in which the layers were propped apart by an organic dianion (terephthalate = TA). This material was then used to capture the negatively charged polystyrene oligomers from the emulsion polymerization reaction mixture. We found that TA was rapidly ion-exchanged for the charged oligomers.The resulting pillared hydrotalcite material was characterized using XRD and SEC. We found that the interlayer spacing between the hydroxide layers increased to 23.2 Å on exposure to the emulsion reaction mixture. This represents an interlayer expansion of 18.3 Å (after subtraction of the hydroxide layer contribution), which is cnsistent with intercalation of oligomers with two to three monomer units arranged in a bilayer. This size estimate was confirmed by the results of size exclusion chromatography. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: γ-Oxidation of linear low-density polyethylene based on hexene and butene was investigated. Irradiation was performed at different dose rates in air (from 2 rad/s to 100 rad/s). Degraded samples were analyzed with IR combined with NO and SF4 derivatizations. Our results showed that the lower the dose rate, the higher the degree of oxidation in terms of γ-product formation. Ketone species appeared to be the dominant γ-products. The G values of γ-product formation were very dependent on the dose rate of initiation. Comparison of the G value ratio of different γ-products revealed stoechiometry differences. The complex appearance and disappearance of unsaturations was tentatively explained. The modifications of elongation at break induced by γ-irradiation were monitored by molecular changes in weight. This was not conclusive because changes in elongation at break are inconsistent with changes in Mw/Mn. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Poly(styrene-graft-ethylene oxide), having alkyl chains (C12 or C18) on the polystyrene main chain or on the poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) side chains, were synthesized. The main chain was alkylated by first ionizing amide groups in a styrene/acrylamide copolymer with tert-butoxide, and then using the amide anions as sites for reactions with 1-bromoalkanes. An excess of amide anions was used in the reaction, and the remaining anions were subsequently utilized as initiator sites for the anionic polymerization of ethylene oxide (EO). Synthesis of poly(styrene-graft-ethylene oxide) with alkylated side chains was accomplished by polymerization of EO onto the ionized styrene/acrylamide copolymer, followed by an alkylation of the terminal alkoxide anions with 1-bromoalkanes. The alkylated graft copolymers were structurally characterized by using elemental analysis, 1H NMR, GPC, and IR spectroscopy. DSC analysis showed that only graft copolymers with PEO contents exceeding about 50 wt % and side chain crystallinities comparable to those of homo-PEO. Main chain alkylated graft copolymers generally had higher crystalinities, as compared to nonalkylated and side chain alkylated samples. The graft copolymers absorbed water corresponding to one water molecule per EO unit at low PEO contents. The water absorption increased progressively at PEO contents above 30 wt % for main chain alkylated samples and above 50 wt % for non-alkylated samples. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Radical copolymerization of donor-acceptor monomers, i.e., allylglycidyl ether (AGE), maleic anhydride (MA) and methyl methacrylate (MMA) are studied, where binary copolymerization of AGE...MA complex with MMA is obtained. Constants of charge transfer complex formation (Kc) and copolymerization (r1 and r2) are determined by 1H-NMR and Kelen-Tüdöş methods, respectively. It is found that synthesized film-forming terpolymers with free epoxy and anhydride groups on side chain of macro-molecules are being crosslinked easily under the effect of temperature and/or UV-ir-radiation. Observed crosslinking effect is proved by the DTA, TGA, and IR spectroscopic analyses. It is shown that complex-radical terpolymerization is very convenient method for the designing of reactive functional macromolecules of linear structure with self-crosslinking properties which can serve as a basis for the use in photolithographic applications. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

The resulting polymers were found to decompose easily in phosphate buffers under neutral or slightly basic conditions (pH 7 or 8).

    Notes: 1-[3,5-Bis(N,N-dimethylamino)phenoxy]-ω-(2,4,6-tricyanophenylthio)alkanes (1a-c), where an electron-accepting 2,4,6-tricyanophenylthio group and an electron-donating 3,5-bis(N,N-dimethylamino)phenoxy one are linked with a spacer such as ethylene, trimethylene, and tetramethylene, were prepared in order to examine an effect of the spacer chain length on intramolecular charge-transfer interaction between the 2,4,6-tricyanophenylthio and 3,5-bis(N,N-dimethylamino)phenoxy groups. From the UV-vis spectra measurements of 1a-c, 1-[3,5-bis(N,N-dimethylamino)phenoxy]-3-(2,4,6-tricyanophenylthio)Propane (1b) carrying the trimethylene chain as a spacer was found to have the strongest intramolecular charge-transfer interaction. A new methacrylate-type monomer carrying the 1b unit as a side chain, 1-(2,4,6-tricyanophenylthio)-3-[3,5-bis(N,N-dimethylamino)phenoxy]-2-propyl methacrylate (2), was prepared successfully in 9.2% total yield in seven steps. The monomer 2 homopolymerized in benzene, tetrahydrofuran, acetone, and dimethyl sulfoxide in the presence of 2,2′-azobis(isobutyronitrile) at 60°C to give polymers [poly(2)] with molecular weights of 6,000 to 98,000. An intramolecular charge-transfer interaction in the poly(2) was found to be larger than that in the monomer 2 and to increase with an increase in the degree of polymerization of the poly(2), suggesting that there is an existence of polymer effect other than the polymer effect due to the high local concentration of the donor-acceptor pair. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: A series of fully aromatic, thermotropic polyesters, derived from 3-phenyl-4,4′-biphenol (MPBP), nonlinear 4,4′-benzophenone dicarboxylic acid (4,4′-BDA), and various other comonomers was prepared by the melt polycondensation method and characterized for their thermotropic liquid crystalline behavior by a variety of experimental techniques. The homopolymer of MPBP with 4,4′-BDA had a fusion temperature (Tf) at 240°C, exhibited a nematic liquid crystalline phase, and had a narrow liquid crystalline range of 60°C. All of the copolyesters of MPBP with 4,4′-BDA and either 30 mol % 4-hydroxybenzoic acid (HBA), 6-hydroxy-2-naphthoic acid (HNA) or 50 mol % terephthalic acid (TA), 2,6-naphthale-nedicarboxylic acid (2,6-NDA) and low Tf values in the range of 210-230°C, exhibited a nematic phase, and had accessible isotropization transitions (Ti) in the range of 320-420°C, respectively. As expected, each of them had a broader range of liquid crystalline phase than the homopolymer. They had a “frozen” nematic, glassy order as determined with the wide-angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD) studies. The morphology of each of the “as-made” polyesters had a fibrous structure as determined with the scanning electron microscopy (SEM), which arises because of the liquid crystalline domains. Moreover, they had higher glass transition temperatures (Tg) in the range of 167-190°C than those of other liquid crystalline polyesters, and excellent thermal stabilities (Td) in the range of 500-533°C, respectively. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Photoinitiated cationic polymerization of oxetane, oxirane (epoxide), and a formulation of both was carried out and their reactivity compared. To investigate a formulated system of oxetane and oxirane in photoinitiated cationic polymerization, computational and experimental methods were used. In the computational study, we employed a semiempirical molecular orbital method (AM1). On the other hand, the reactivities of each system were evaluated and compared experimentally by a real-time FT-IR method. The computational study reveals that oxetane seems to polymerize in SN2 mechanism, but two possibilities, of SN1 mechanism through the α-cleavage and of SN2 mechanism through β-cleavage, are implied for oxirane. Using the real-time FT-IR method, the formulation of oxetane and oxirane was proved to possess rather high reactivities of oxetane toward photoinitiated cationic polymerization. The formulated system exhibited slightly lower number-average molecular weight than oxetane but higher than oxirane. These experimental observations are well explained in terms of the calculated reaction paths. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

A series of sequential seeded growth emulsion polymerizations were used to obtain monodisperse particles with diameters of at least 3 μm, at 30% solids contents. Because the core and shell polymers used here were chemically similar, core-shell structures could not be verified by differential staining tech-niques. Core-shell structure was demonstrated by minimum film-forming temperature studies and by scanning electron microscopy in conjunction with energy dispersive x-ray analysis, using chlorine-labeled core polymers. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: The promoting effects of 2,4-ionene on the cobalt(II) phthalocyaninetetracarboxylic acid-[CoPc(COOH)4] and cobalt(II) phthalocyanineoctacarboxylic acid-[CoPc(COOH)8] cata-lyzed autoxidation of 2-mercaptoethanol were studied. Dimerization of the CoPc(COOH)4 catalyst, combined with the disappearance of the catalytically inactive μ-peroxo complex and the appearance of substrate enrichment in the presence of 2,4-ionene, results in a 40-fold enhancement of the oxidation rate as compared with the polymer-free system. UV-VIS spectroscopy indicates that CoPc(COOH)8 is incapable of forming μ-peroxo complexes or 2,4-ionene-induced dimeric catalyst species under normal reaction conditions. Thus, it was possible to study exclusively the ionene-induced effect of substrate enrichment. Addition of 2,4-ionene to an aqueous CoPc(COOH)8 solution results in an activity enhancement by a factor of 2-3, which can be ascribed to substrate enrichment. Additionally, using mono-disperse ionene oligomers showed a molecular weight dependence of 2,4-ionene on the catalytic activity of CoPc(COOH)8, as was observed for the conventional 2,4-ionene/cobalt phthalocyaninetetrasodiumsulfonate system. The optimal polycation/catalyst ratios of both systems decrease with increasing chain length of 2,4-ionene, until a constant value is reached. This leads to the conclusion that the optimal polymer/catalyst ratios are predominantly determined by substrate enrichment. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: The simultaneous polymerization and formation of polyphenylacetylene film by Nd(P204)3-Fe(AA)3-Al(i-Bu)3 catalyst system have been investigated. The combined catalytic effects between rare earth phosphonates with MT(naph)x or Fe(AA)3 systems are first proposed and compared. The polymerization features and kinetic behaviors with Nd(P204)3-Fe(AA)3-Al(i-Bu)3 system are described and discussed. The combined catalytic effects have the following order, respectively: Fe ≫ Co 〉 Cr 〉 Mn-Ni, Nd(P204)3-Nd(P507)3 〉 Nd(P350)3 and Tb 〉 Sm 〉 Yb 〉 Ho 〉 Lu 〉 Dy 〉 Nd-Er-Pr 〉 Y-Tm 〉 Ce 〉 Gd 〉 La. The overall polymerization activation energy was found to be 20.8 kJ/mol showing coordination-anionic polymerization characteristic. PPA films so obtained are very similar to the rare earth ones. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Synthesis, properties, and membrane-separation functions of a novel fluorine-containing poly(phenylacetylene) were examined. The monomer used was [o-n-(perfluorohexyl)phe-nyl]acetylene, which has a rigid rod-like ortho-substituent. Polymers, whose intrinsic vis-cosities ([η]) were ca. 0.4-2.2 dL/g, were obtained in high yields with various W and Mo catalysts. The MoCl5-Ph3Sb catalyst achieved the highest [η] of 2.25 dL/g corresponding to an Mw over one million. The polymer was a brown solid soluble only in F -containing solvents such as m-(CF3)2C6H4. The oxygen permeability coefficient of the polymer mem-brane was 90 barrers, which is the second highest among those of ortho-substituted poly(phenylacetylenes). In the pervaporation of an ethanol-water mixture, the poly-mer membrane showed ethanol permselectivity [α(EtOH/H2O) = 1.7]. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: A hybrid inorganic/organic interpenetrating polymer network (IPN) of a three-dimensional network structure zeolite crystal (13X, powder) and crosslinked or linear polystyrene (PS) was prepared and characterized by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), solid-state13C-NMR, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The size and shape of the crystalline zeolite particles were revealed on SEM micrographs in both the pure zeolite and the IPNs. Solubility tests and the results of DSC with solid-state 13C-NMR confirm that some organic PS chains are incorporated within the internal three-dimensional channels of the zeolite particles. We speculate that the internal PS chains may adopt an extended “one-dimensional” conformation and exhibit no bulk polymer glass transition. These novel hybrid inorganic/organic IPNs are a new kind of IPN structure. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: The main chain scission reaction of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) doped with N,N,N,′,N′-tetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine (TMPD) was examined by ESR spectroscopy and GPC measurement, and the scission mechanism was analyzed. The two-photon ionization of TMPD with excimer laser excitation at 77 K produced an ester radical anion of PMMA (PMMA·m̌), which becomes the main chain tertiary radical —CH2—C·(CH3)—CH2—after the detachment of the ester side group by annealing of the sample at room temperature. The main chain scission radical ·C(CH3)(COOCH3)—(PMMA·) which was produced by the β-scission from—CH2—·C(CH3)—CH2—showed the 13-line ESR spectrum instead of the ordinary 9-line, due to the fast quenching of the sample to 77 K. The change of the molecular weight distribution was measured by GPC after several irradiation-and-annealing operations. The simulation of the GPC curve confirmed that the scission re-action occurs at random in the PMMA chain in the solid and the main chain scission yield from the ester radical anion, [PMMA·]/[PMMA·m̌], is 0.30. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: The surface of poly(p-phenylene terephthalamide) (PPTA) films was modified by oxygen plasma, and the modified film surface was analyzed by an advancing contact meter and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The advancing contact measurement showed that the oxygen plasma treatment made the surface of the PPTA film hydrophilic. The XPS analyses also showed the increase in the O/C and N/C atom ratio, especially the O/C atom ratio, at the PPTA film surface by the oxygen plasma treatment. A main oxygen functionality formed by the oxygen plasma treatment is a carboxylic acid group, and a main nitrogen functionality formed is a protonated amino group. The formation of the oxygen and nitrogen functionalities formed by the oxygen plasma treatment is not restricted to the surface of the PPTA film, but penetrates at least 35 Å deep from the film surface. The formation of these carboxylic acid and protonated amino groups is a result of the bond scission of the amide linkages in the PPTA film. Interactions of photons in the oxygen plasma rather than interactions of electrons and activated oxygen atoms contribute greatly to the bond scission. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: The emission from low-pressure microwave plasmas in the vacuum-ultraviolet (VUV) region (λ 〈 200 nm) was investigated in order to use these plasmas as light sources for the study of the VUV photochemistry of polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP) as part of the study of plasma-polymer interaction. These polymers, immersed in low-presure oxygen, were exposed to radiation with wavelengths down to 112 nm, the cut off of magnesium fluoride used as a window to separate the polymer specimen from the plasma light source. Total oxygen incorporation in the surface [O], and the formation of hydroxyl, carbonyl, and carboxyl groups were measured using XPS in combination with chemical derivatizations, particularly their dependence upon the radiation spectrum and the oxygen pressure around the sample. In most experiments the surface oxygen concentration [O] attained a constant value that appears to be related to the initial oxidation rate; this suggests a competition between oxygen incorporation and chain scission reactions, followed by the removal of volatile oxidation products. PE is usually oxidized to a higher level than PP, the latter appearing to be more susceptible to reaction with atomic oxygen than PE. A general initiation mechanism for the VUV experiments is proposed that allows us to explain the observed differences in behavior between PE and PP, and the results obtained under different irradiation conditions. The nature of oxidation products is in both cases very similar to what is observed after direct plasma treatment of the polymers. We conclude that short wavelength radiation contributes very appreciably to the observed surface modification effects during plasma treatment of PE and PP. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: The synthesis of unsaturated monomers containing one or more hydroxyl groups by reaction between polyalcohols (number of OH, n≥2) and monoacid chlorides has been theoretically analyzed. The difficulties were shown involved in the preparation of these monomers with a high degree of purity even in the most favorable case of the completely substituted compound. The calculated mole fractions of the two monomers that can be obtained by reaction between neopentylglycol and methacryloyl chloride were compared with the experimental ones. Kinetic experiments of the polymerization of 3-hydroxyneopentyl methacrylate and 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate were carried out at different temperatures in 1,4-dioxane for the former monomer and dioxane and absolute ethanol for the latter. Dilatometric techniques and nonlinear least-squares methods were used to obtain kinetic data and to determine the kinetic constants, respectively. In homogeneous solution the values of kp/k1/2t for the 3-hydroxyneopentyl methacrylate and 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate was determined by 13C-NMR spectroscopy and the molar fractions of tactic triads and dyads were calculated from different resonance signals. The polymers are predominantly syndiotactic and follow a Bernoullian distribution of tactic sequences. Finally, the glass transition temperatures of both polymers, determined calorimetrically, were 145 and 89°C, respectively. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Anionic living polymerization methods, using organometallic initiators such as butyllithium reagents, have proven useful for, inter alia, styrene polymerization and are amenable to subsequent functionalization of poly(styryl)lithium in the termination step. In this study, general methods for the selective preparation of small styrene oligomers and termination of the intermediate oligo(styryl)lithium anions were investigated. The crude reaction mixtures were analyzed directly by tandem gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS). Of the carbon- and silicon-based electrophiles tested, chloro(chloroalkyl)silanes, Cl-SiR2(CH2)nCl in particular, were shown by GC/MS to be regioselective end-capping reagents, thus allowing subsequent transformation to the primary amine. The combined GC/MS data allow not only an estimate of the degree of functionalization, but also the identification of by-products, thus providing insight into the end-capping process that otherwise might be difficult to access. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: A series of polyisophthalamides having pendent oligomeric benzamide groups were prepared by the Yamazaki reaction from common aromatic diamines and 5-(4-benzoylamino-1-benzoylamino)isophthalic acid. The latter was synthesized from 5-aminoisophthalic acid in a three-step synthesis by successive incorporation of benzamido groups. The new polymers were characterized by NMR, DSC, TGA, and WAXD and the properties were compared to those of corresponding unsubstituted polyisophthalamides. All of the polymers were essentially amorphous and their Tgs were about 20°C higher than the reference polymers. Initial thermal decomposition temperatures ranged from 375 to 420°C. All of the polymers were soluble in aprotic polar solvents without added salts. Properties of particular note were: the water uptake, which was particularly high, ranging from 7.5 to 18.2%, and the temporary insolubilization in concentrated sulfuric acid of films of the polymers heated for a short time to ≥ 200°C. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

The exponential grafting rate dependence on the pre-irradiation dose was quite insensitive to a hundred-fold variation in Mohr's salt concentration. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Aromatic polyester, copolyester, and poly(ester-amide-thioester) having pendant carboxyl groups are directly synthesized by the organic phase/water phase interfacial polyconden-sation using low-molecular and polymeric phase transfer catalysts. Spectral analysis of the resulting polymers indicates that the nucleophilicity of salts of phenols to diacid chloride is far higher than that of salts of carboxylic acids and chemoselective esterification occurs in a 100% yield. Even if the polymeric catalyst having amino acid moiety as a nucleophilic group is used in the polycondensation, the polymers do not contain anhydride groups. The polyester can be almost quantitatively converted to polymers with different reactive groups by reacting the pendant carboxyl groups with alkyl halides in a DMAc-H2O mixture con-taining K2CO3. A bifunctional catalytic mechanism is proposed for the chemical modification of the polyesters. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Homo- and copolymerizations of butadiene (BD) and styrene (St) were carried out by gadolinium catalysts having various tricarboxylate ligands [Gd(OCOR)3: R = CH3, CH2Cl, CHCl2, CCl3, and CF3], to investigate the effects of ligands and discuss the cis polymerization mechanism. Polymerization of BD with Gd(OCOR)3 - (i - Bu)3Al - Et2AlCl catalysts was carried out in hexane at 50°C. By each catalyst, poly(BD) having a high cis content (cis = 97-99%) in 22-85% yields for 2-24 h were obtained. The ligands with low pKa values increased the polymerization activity as follows: R of Gd(OCOR)3: CF3 〉 CCl3 〉 CHCl2 〉 CH2Cl ∼ CH3. On the other hand, in the polymerization of St or copolymerization of BD and St under similar conditions, the highest activity was attained by a Gd(OCOCCI3)3- based catalyst. The difference in the optimum ligand among the homo- and copolymerization of BD and St was discussed on the basis of energy levels of the catalysts. In the copolymers of BD and St, the cis-1,4 content of the BD unit decreased with increasing St content. Furthermore, according to the diad analysis of copolymers (St content ∼ 14.5 mol %) by 13C NMR spectroscopy, the low cis value of the BD unit was observed in the St-BD diad (cis/trans/vinyl = 24/53/23), while the high cis value of the BD unit remained in the BD-BD diad (cis/trans/vinyl = 89/10/1). These results suggest that the terminal BD unit is controlled by the cis configuration by the coordination between the penultimate cis vinylene unit and the gadolinium metal catalyst, whereas the presence of the penultimate St unit interferes with cis polymerization of the terminal BD unit. The difference in the coordination mechanism in the course of polymerization between rare earth metal and transition metal catalysts such as the Ni(acac)2 and Co(acac)3-based catalyst was also discussed. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Numerous BuSnCl-3, Bu2SnCl-2, and Bu3SnCl-initiated polymerizations of cyclo(tri-methylene carbonate) (TMC) were conducted in bulk. In addition to the initiator, reaction time, temperature, and monomer/initiator (M/I) ratio were varied. Yields above 90% were obtained with all three initiators, but their reactivities decrease in the order BuSnCl3 〉 Bu2SnCl2 〉 Bu3SnCl. The maximum molecular weights decrease in the same order. With BuSnCl3 Mws up to 250,000 were obtained. These molecular weights were determined by GPC on the basis of the universal calibration method. In this connection Mark-Houwink equations for two solvents, tetrahydrofuran (THF) and CH2Cl2 were determined and compared with literature data. Furthermore, mechanistic aspects were studied. 1H- and 13C- NMR spectra revealed that BuSnCl3 forms complexes with the CO-group of TMC, whereas Bu2SnCl3 do not cause NMR spectroscopic effects. Kinetic studies in chloroform and nitrobenzene and a comparison with Bu3SnOMe suggest that at least BuSnCl3 initiates a cationic mechanism. However, in contrast to SnCl4 (or SnBr4), BuSnCl3 does not cause decarboxylation. Regardless of the initiator 1H-NMR spectroscopy revealed CH2OH and CH2CI endgroups in all cases. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Polycondensation of α, ω-bis(-4-aminophenoxy) alkanes with trimellitic anhydride chloride (TMA-Cl) in m-cresol yielded a new class of poly(amideimide)s. Starting from the same diamine spacers poly(amideimides) with a more regular sequence of amide and imide groups were prepared by another synthetic method. All these poly(amide-imide)s are semi-crystalline and melt in the range of 250-300°C. They form a smectic-A phase over a narrow temperature range and suffer thermal degradation at the isotropization temperature (330-350°C). The smectic-A phase was characterized by optical microscopy (“batonnet texture”) and by synchrotron radiation measurements conducted at a heating rate of 20°C. Furthermore, it is demonstrated that slight variation of the chemical structure, such as methyl substituents or meta positions in the spacer prevent the formation of a LC phase. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

The thermal characterization of the novolacs and the corresponding cured phenolic-triazine networks indicated a dedicated a detremental effect of cardanol on the thermal stability and char residue of the resins. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: The kinetics of grafting a basic monomer, 2-(dimethylamino)-ethyl methacrylate (DMAEMA) to hydrocarbon substrates have been investigated. These systems were chosen as models for the grafting of a homopolymerizable monomer to polyolefins such as polyethylene. The reactions with squalane and n-eicosane were initiated by an organic peroxide, 2,5-dimethyl 2,5 dit-butylperoxy)-3-hexyne; grafting yields become significant at high reaction temperatures and low monomer concentrations. In squalane, the order of reaction with respect to monomer increased from about 1.1 for 0.22-0.44M DMAEMA to almost 2 at 0.69M DMAEMA; the order with respect to initiator was 0.56. The overall activation energy in the 130-160°C temperature range was, however, surprisingly low, 42±5 kJ mol-1. When analytical data were used to separate the overall rate into those for grafting and homopolymerization, different kinetic paths were observed for the competing reactions. These results are interpreted in terms of two different mechanisms; intramolecular chain transfer plays an important role in grafting, while depropagation becomes a major factor in homopolymerization at temperatures above 150°C. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: The synthesis of a series of monomers containing isopropenylphenoxy groups was carried out. On irradiation with UV light in the presence of onium salt photoacid generators, these monomers undergo a chain extension reaction consisting of a dimerization followed by a Friedel-Crafts ring closure which results in the formation of polymers with indane groups in the backbone. Aryl imide-containing monomers bearing isopropenylphenoxy groups were also shown to undergo facile photoinduced cationic polymerization. The resulting polymers displayed excellent thermal stability. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: The state of p-phenylphenol molecules in dioxane/water mixture, a commonly used reaction system for enzymatic polymerization of phenols and aromatic amines, was investigated by difference UV absorption spectroscopy and Fourier transform (FT) Raman spectroscopy. The aggregate of p-phenylphenols is found on the basis of the exciton peaks observed in difference UV absorption spectra. FT Raman spectroscopy demonstrates further that p-phenylphenol molecules aggregate together in “face to face” fashion. A simplified model is proposed for aggregation of p-phenylphenol molecules in dioxane/water mixture, which can elucidate the variation of the molecular weight of poly (p-phenylphenol) coupled in the reaction system. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: New ethynylene-containing aromatic polymides were synthesized by the carbon-carbon crosscoupling polycondensation of aromatic diiodides with aromatic amide-bearing diethynyl compounds in the presence of a palladium catalyst, cuprous iodide, and an organic base. The polymers having sulfone linkages were soluble in various organic solvents and their weight average molecular weights were in the range of 12,500 and 26,500. The polymers with the highest inherent viscosity were obtained, when the monomer ratio of a diethynyl compound to a diiodide was 1.01. The polymers showed no detectable glass transition temperature and no weight loss up to around 300° C in nitrogen. The thermal crosslinking of the polymers occurred at 280°C through the existing internal ethynylene group. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Several propylene polymerizations are carried out with supported metallocene catalyst, prepared by reaction of silica gel with methylaluminoxane and then with rac-dimethylsi-lanediylbis(indenyl)zirconiumdichloride. The rate-time curves obtained are analyzed to understand the influence of support and triisobutylaluminium on the reaction. As a first attempt to model this system we developed a partially new praticle growth model, based on a shell by shell fragmentation hypothesis (gradual break-up from the outside to the inside of the particle), and a final multigrain structure of the particle. A kinetic scheme including the TIBA interaction with the supported catalyst is also presented. The model prediction and the experimental data are compared for the rate-time curves and polymer properties. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: The synthesis and “living” cationic polymerization of 3-fluoro-4′-(11-vinyloxyundecany-loxy)-4-biphenylyl (2R,3S)-2-fluoro-3-methylpentanoate (12-11) and 3-fluoro-4′-(8-vi-nyloxyoctyloxy)-4-biphenylyl (2R,3S)-2-fluoro-3-methylpentanoate (12-8) are presented. Poly (12-11)s and poly (12-8)s with degrees of polymerization from 4.0 to 16.5 and poly-dispersities ≤ 1.13 have been synthesized and characterized by differential scanning cal-orimetry (DSC) and thermal optical polarized microscopy. Over the entire range of molecular weights poly (12-11)s and poly (12-8)s exhibit an enantiotropic SA and an unidentified SX phase. In addition, regardless of its molecular weight, poly (12-8) exhibits a S*c phase in between the SA and Sx phases. Poly (12-11) and poly (12-8) show lower transition tem-peratures and broader temperature ranges of all their mesophases as compared to the corresponding polymers without a fluorine atom on the biphenyl group. The role of the connecting group between the biphenyl and chiral group of the mesogenic unit on the phase behavior of these polymers is also discussed. Copolymers of 12-8 with (2R,3S)-2-fluoro-3-methylpentyl 4′-(11-vinyloxyundecanyloxy)biphenyl-4-carboxylate (13-11) {i.e., poly-[(12-8)-co-(13-11)] (X/Y), where X/Y represents the molar ratio of monomer 12-8 to monomer 13-11} with DP of ca. 11 and polydispersities lower than 1.23 were also syn-thesized and characterized. Their SA and S*c mesophases exhibit continuous dependences of composition and this support the assignment of the mesophases exhibited by poly (12-8). © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: The synthesis of 1-propenyl ether-functionalized siloxanes (PFS) has been achieved by the controlled, rhodium-catalyzed, chemoselective hydrosilation of 1-allyloxy-4(1-propen-oxy) butane with various H-functional siloxanes. It was shown that the hydrosilation pro-ceeds exclusively at the allyl ether group of 1-allyloxy-4(1-propenoxy) butane without par-ticipation at the 1-propenyl ether group. The photoinduced cationic polymerization of these monomers was studied using various analytical techniques and found to take place very rapidly. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Polyaniline-oxalic acid salts were prepared at 5 and 30°C by chemical polymerization of aniline using different concentration of oxalic acid. Polyaniline base was obtained from the corresponding polyaniline salt by dedoping using aqueous ammonium hydroxide solution. Conductivity measurements, elemental analysis, Infrared, electronic absorption, electron paramagnetic resonance spectral, and thermogravimetric analysis were performed on the polyaniline salts and bases. Composition and the extent of dopant in polyaniline salt systems where determined. The value of composition of polyaniline: oxalic acid is 4: 1.6 and the polymer yield is around 66%. The value of conductivity, polymer yield and composition of polyaniline-oxalic acid salt is independent of concentration of oxalic acid used and also the synthesis temperature. The results are compared with polyaniline-hydrochloride salt prepared by chemical polymerization. The conductivity of polyaniline-oxalic acid salt is three orders of magnitude lower than that of polyaniline-hydrocholoride salt. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: A conducting polymer, poly(o-phenylenediamine) (PoPD), has been obtained as stable film onto an electrode surface by the electropolymerization of o-phenylenediamine in 0.1 mol dm-3 H2SO4. The film thickness did not exceed 0.85 μm because of its low electrical con-ductivity. The virgin “doped” polymer film was soluble in dimethylsulfoxide N, N-dimeth-ylformamide, acetone, and tetrahydrofuran without any pretreatment. The highest solubility obtained was 17 g dm-3 in dimethylsufoxide. A cast film of PoPD on a substrate was prepared from its dimethylsulfoxide solution. The mean molecular weight of PoPD was found to be 11,000 with the gel permeation chromatography. The STM observation exhibited that the cast film was considerably uniform compared to the electrodeposited film. The cyclic voltammogram of such film showed a reversible redox property accompanied with excellent electrochromism between transparent yellow and brown. It was suggested from the 1H-FTNMR and FTIR spectra and the elemental analysis that the polymeric backbone has 1, 4-substituted benezenoid-quinoid structure. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: The synthesis of a series of difunctional epoxides bearing two epoxycyclohexyl groups linked together by an alkylene ether group has been carried out. Subsequently, the reactivities of these novel monomers was investigated and compared to the reactivity of the cycloali-phatic epoxide, 3,4-epoxycyclohexylmethyl 3′,4′-epoxycyclohexane carboxylate (I) in pho-toinitiated cationic polymerization. It was observed that alkylene oxide linking the two epoxycyclohexyl groups was short and the monomers are more reactive than I. The effects of the photoinitiator structure and the experimental conditions of the cationic photopo-lymerization on the rates was also studied using real-time infrared spectroscopy. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: The ternary neodymium-based catalyst for the polymerization of 1,3-butadiene, Nd(versatate)3/Ali-Bu2H/tert-butyl chloride, has been examined with respect to the effects of a range of alkylaluminums and alkylaluminum chlorides. Using either pre-formed or in situ catalysts, observations pertaining to catalyst activity and physical state and the characteristics of the final polymer are discussed. The catalyst activity series with the type of alkylaluminum was found to be: Aln-Pr3 ≫ Aln-Dodec3 = Aln-Oct3 = Aln-Hex3 〉 Ali-Bu2H 〉 Ali-Bu3 〉 AlEt3 ≫ AIMe3. Polybutadiene cis content was found to vary with the type of alkylaluminum used. Pre-formed catalysts using methylaluminum chlorides as chloride source were found to be the most active; AlMe2Cl chloride gave the highest activity. The activity of in situ catalysts prepared using alkylaluminum chlorides was found to be independent of alkylaluminum chloride structure. Polybutadiene prepared using catalysts based on different alkylaluminums and alkylaluminum chlorides was found to decrease in cis content with conversion. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Graft site initiation occurs by primary radical and/ or polymeric radical attack on the back-bone polymer. The controlling mechanism is determined by the structure of the backbone and the activity of the free radicals. The efficiency of incorporating monomer into the graft chains depends upon the graft site initiation mechanism and the mode of polymer chain termination (recombination or disproportionation). A kinetic analysis results a series of uniquely different expressions describing the graft efficiency, φ corresponding to different combinations of graft site initiation and chain termination mechanisms. The dependency of φ upon monomer, initiator, and backbone concentrations is different from case to case. The complete kinetic model is capable of predicting reaction rate, graft efficiency, graft frequency, graft ratio, and molecular weight averages and distributions. Simulations are provided to compare predicted results with experimental data for two different systems which show contrasting mechanisms of graft site initiation and mode of termination. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Solution conformations and dynamic mobilities of novel amphoteric copolymers were studied for aqueous solutions of p(sodium 2-methacryloxyethanesulfonate-co-2-methacryloy-loxyethyltrimethylammonium iodide) [P(NaMES-co-METMAI)] as a function of com-position, concentration, and addition of HCI or KCI. As HCI or KCI was added successively to 5 w/v% copolymer solutions, the reduced viscosities of the solutions were reduced except the 1:1 copolymer solution. The dynamic mobility of the cationic side chain was estimated with the quadrupolar 14N-NMR relaxation technique. The motion of the interacting coun-terion, Na+, was studied by Poisson-Boltzmann electrostatic theories and the quadrupolar 23Na-NMR. Since the intramolecular 1:1 ion pair between MES- and METMA+ acts as an effective charge-screening factor, the copolymers P(NaMES-co-METMAI) behave as ordinary polyelectrolytes with the exception of the 1 : 1 copolymer. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Comb copolymers formed from acrylamide and poly(ethylene-glycol) methacrylate macro-monomer (PAM-co-PEG) were compared to poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) with respect to hydrogen bond complex formation with water-borne phenolic resins. The behaviors of the two types of high molecular weight polyethers were similar. Complex formation gave a transient increase in viscosity followed by precipitation. Copolymers with pendant PEG chain lengths ≥ 9 formed complexes with phenolic resin whereas PEG homopolymer with a molecular weight of 2000 did not form a complex. For both copolymer and high molecular weight PEO, the tendency of the complex to precipitate increased when the pH was decreased from 7 to 4. Acridine orange, a cationic dye, bound to the phenolic resin and, after the addition of PEO, yielded visible complex gels with diameters about 20 μm. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: A new type of amphiphilic elastomer was synthesized, which consisted of butyl rubber and a D-maltose derivative as a backbone and side groups, respectively. The synthesis was accomplished by the sequence of the three following reactions: (1) Hydroxyl groups of D-maltonolactone were protected by a trimethylsilyl group. (2) The resulting maltonolactone derivative was subjected to a reaction with chemically modified butyl rubber having pendant amino groups. (3) The protecting trimethylsilyl groups on the maltose residues were removed by treating with tetra-n-butylammonium fluoride. This new amphiphilic elastomer behaved as a thermoplastic elastomer and showed good mechanical properties. The saccharide seg-ments aggregated in the hydrophobic butyl rubber matrix to form a microphase-separated structure, as confirmed by differential scanning calorimetry, transmission electron mi-croscopy, small-angle x-ray scattering, and dynamic mechanical measurements. The ag-gregated saccharide domains are estimated to function both as crosslinking sites and rein-forcing fillers in the rubber matrix. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: An ionogenic main chain liquid crystalline polymer was synthesized. In contrast to previous studies the charged sites were incorporated into the flexible spacer and not into the mesogenic group. This was done through quaternization of 1,2-bis(4-pyridylethane) with a biphenyl-4,4′-nonanoxytoluenesulphonate. The polymer displayed thermotropic and lyotropic me-sophases. The thermotropic mesophase was smectic. Organic counterions such as meth-ylsulfonates and p-toluenesulfonates were found to be favorable to the development of mesophases, due to the increased solubility and lower isotropisation temperatures, when compared to bromide counterion containing polymers. Easy supercooling, dependence on thermal history, and the development of batonnet textures on cooling from the melt were also observed. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Four photoreactive coumarin derivatives were successfully synthesized from 7-hydroxy-coumarin and 7-hydroxy-4-methylcoumarin, i.e., 7-propionyloxy-4-methylcoumarin (M1), 7-palmitoyloxy-4-methylcoumarin (M2), 7-propionyloxycoumarin (M3), and 7-palmitoy-loxycoumarin (M4). Reversible photodimerization (350 or 300 nm) and photocleavage (254 nm) of these coumarin derivatives dispersed in poly(vinyl acetate) (PVAc) were investigated by tracing their UV absorbance variations at 310 nm. The M2 and M4 with long palmitoyl chain show much better photoreaction reversibility than M1 and M3 with short propionyl chain. Moreover, photodimerization rate (under 350 nm) of M2 is greater than 200 times of that of M1. This has been explained by the formation of suitable conformation for revers-ible photodimerization due to the hydrophobic interactions. Photodimerization of M2 is ca. 3 times quicker than that of M4, indicating 4-methyl substitution enhances pho-todimerization. The influence of photodimerization wavelength (350 and 300 nm) and photosensitizer (benzophenone) have also been investigated in detail. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons. Inc.

    Notes: A monomer, 3,3′-bis (4-fluorobenzoyl) biphenyl, was prepared in high yield in two steps from inexpensive 3-chlorobenzoyl chloride and fluorobenzene, and polymerized by nucleophilic displacement reaction with various bisphenol monomers in tetramethylene sulfone to produce a series of high molecular weight poly(aryl ether ketone)s containing 3,3′-dibenzoylbiphenyl (DBBP) moieties. The spectroscopic, thermal, and thermomechanical properties of these polymers and related isomeric polymers having 2,2′-and 4,4′-DBBP units were determined and compared to study the effects of changes in the substitution pattern of the biphenyl unit. Except for the 2,2′-DBBP series of polymers, Tgs were found to increase with increasing linearity of the DBBP unit. The 2,2′-DBBP series of polymers had exceptionally high Tgs due to the sterically restricted motions in the biphenyl unit caused by the 2,2′-substitution. In addition, they also showed evidence for torsion with the 2,2′-DBBP unit, whereas in other isomeric polymers the DBBP units are believed to be relatively coplanar. Thermal stabilities and tensile moduli for these polymers proved to be independent of substitution patterns. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
