    Notes: Abstract Two bioindication scales of the degree of eutrophication based on aquatic macrophyte communities were established in two types of running waters free of organic matter, the one in acidic “soft” waters (pH 5.5–7.0, conductivity 40–110 μS.cm−1), the other in alkaline hard waters (pH 7–8, conductivity 500–900 μS.cm−1). We show that the main determining factor of the macrophyte distribution is the nutrient level (trophy), especially the level of phosphate and ammonia. The acidic scale, with increasing pH, includes four stages ranging from oligotrophic to eutrophic level (traces to 300 μg.l−1 N-NHinf4p+ and P-PO4 3−), while the alkaline scale at constant pH comprises six stages of a trophic gradient. For the most part, the floristic composition found in the two sequences is different and depends on conductivity and alkalinity variation. However, some species occur in the two scales and may reflect differences in the trophic level, depending on whether the waters are alkaline or acidic. This change of trophic level for these species is discussed.

    Notes: Abstract The Northern Vosges streams are subjected to acidification upstream and to eutrophication downstream. A bio-indicator scale of the degree of eutrophication and of the level of acidification, based on four aquatic macrophyte communities, was established in these weakly mineralized streams. Aquatic plant communities therefore begin as Group A, develop into Group B and become Group C or D downstream. The A community was characterized by bryophytes (Scapania undulata, Sphagnum sp.) and Potamogeton polygonifolius in oligotrophic, acidified to weakly acidified, and poorly buffered streams. The B community, defined by P. polygonifolius and the appearance of Ranunculus peltatus and Callitriche species (C. platycarpa, C. hamulata) was found in oligotrophic waters with a higher buffer capacity than the A community. The C community was determined by the disappearance of P. polygonifolius and the appearance of Elodea species (E. canadensis, E. nuttallii) and rare species in mesotrophic and neutral streams. The D community, with very high nutrient loading, was characterized by the abundance of Callitriche obtusangula, by the presence of Amblystegium riparium, Fissidens crassipes and the development of filamentous algae. This macrophyte sequence corresponded to an upstream to downstream zonation, which was characterized by an increase in buffer capacity and in nutrient levels and a decrease in protons and aluminium load.

    Notes: Tetraglycidyl 4,4′-diaminodiphenylmethane (TGDDM) undergoes homopolymerization on heating. Intramolecular reactions which compete with crosslinking favor the formation of cyclic structures with increasing thermal and fire resistance of the resin, whereas physical mechanical properties tend to decrease.The mechanism of thermal decomposition of TGDDM is studied by thermogravimetry, differential scanning calorimetry and thermal volatilization analysis with characterization of volatiles evolved and residue left. Thermal degradation of poly-(TGDDM) starts at 260°C with elimination of water from secondary alcoholic groups which is a typical pathway for epoxy resin degradation. Resulting unsaturations weaken bonds in the β-position and provoke the first chain breaking at allyl-amine and allyl-either bonds. With increasing temperature, saturated alkyl-ether bonds and alkyl carbon-carbon bonds are broken first, followed by the most stable alkyl-aryl bonds at T〉365°C. The combustion performance of TGDDM is discussed on the basis of the thermal degradation behavior.

    Notes: The kinetics of curing tetraglycidyl 4,4′-diaminodiphenyl methane (TGDDM) or of the mixture TGDDM/diglycidylether of bisphenol A (DGEBA) by bis(m-aminophenyl)methylphosphine oxide (BAMPO) was studied using differential scanning calorimetry. At low advancement of curing (〈50%), the low activation energy interaction between epoxy and amino groups seems to be controlled by diffusion, whereas above 50% the role of homopolymerization tends to increase and the process becomes chemically controlled.BAMPO shows a higher fire-retardant effectiveness in the mixture TGDDM/DGEBA than in TGDDM or DGEBA alone, for which the oxygen and nitrous oxide index tests suggest a condensed phase or a gas phase fire-retardant action depending on phosphorus content. An intumescent char is formed on the surface of burning fire-retarded specimens which tends, however, to be oxidized, thus reducing the fire-proofing effect at high BAMPO content.
