    Notes: Pseudomonas putida KT 2442 was utilized as biocatalyst to form optoactive poly(β-hydroxyalkanoate)s (PHAs) from a cosubstrate mixture of octanoate and the achiral polarizable carbon source 6(4-cyanophenoxy)hexanoate, CPH. COSY and heteronuclear multiplet quantum correlation experiments were used to assign 1H and 13C NMR signals of 3-hydroxy-6(4-cyanophenoxy)hexanoate (3HCPH) repeat units. The methine carbon of 3HCPH repeat units was sensitive to repeat unit sequence effects, indicating that a substantial fraction of 3HCPH centered triad sequences in the product contain neighboring 3-hydroxyoctanoate and 3-hydroxhexanoate repeat units. Comparing the thermal properties of 0 and 19.6 mol% 3HCPH samples by differential scanning calorimetry shows that 3HCPH incorporation results in melting at temperatures 〉64°C (not seen for the 0 mol% sample), more rapid crystallization and a new Tg transition at ∼ -21°C. These characteristics indicate that chains and/or chain segments are formed that are enriched in 3HCPH which phaseseparate and form a unique crystal structure. Measurements of second harmonic generation (SHG) intensities carried out using in-situ corona-poled samples showed weak SHG signals that increased by a factor of 8 for an increase in the 3HCPH content from 26 to 34 mol%. Comparatively higher SHG intensities (5 times) were found for PHAs which contained 5.1 mol% 3-hydroxy-6(4-nitrophenoxy)hexanoate (3HNPH) repeat units relative to a PHA with 17 mol% 3HCPH. In-vivo biodegradation studies of microbial polyesters prepared with and without 3HCPH repeat units showed that PHA chains with 3HCPH degraded to lesser extents (weight loss of ∼ 20 and 50% over 72 h incubations). The large increase in polydispersity from 1.9 to 4.3 observed during in-vivo biodegradation of microbial polyesters containing 3HCPH repeat units was attributed to the existence of chains with highly variable contents of 3HCPH repeat units.

    Notes: Poly(p-phenylenebenzobisoxazole) (PBO) fiber with polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) pendent groups was made to improve PBO fiber compressive strength by crosslinking. PPS moieties allowed the polymeric network to crosslink at heat-treatment temperatures at which PBO does not thermally degrade. PBO-PPS fiber heat-treated for 30 s at 600°C did not dissolve or break up in methanesulfonic acid. Compressive strength of crosslinked fiber was about 20% better than that of unmodified PBO fiber. In another experiment, 10 mol % of 2,5-diphenylsulfideterephthalic acid was incorporated into PBO fiber. The side chain of one phenyl sulfide unit was too short to enhance crosslinking, and the fiber had about the same compressive strength as unmodified PBO fiber. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Macrocyclic polyethers are well-known complexing agents for alkali-metal and alkaline earth-metal cations. The influence of alkali-metal cations upon the polycondensation rate of acyclic and cyclic dibenzo polyethers with formaldehyde in formic acid and alkali-metal cation sorption by some of the resultant resins have been investigated. For certain dibenzo polyether and alkali-metal cation combinations, polymer formation is markedly reduced. The alkali-metal cation that provides the best fit for the macrocyclic polyether cavity produces the greatest retardation of polymer formation. It is proposed that metal ion complexation renders the dibenzo polyether monomer inert to polymerization under the reaction conditions. No template effect for alkali-metal cation sorption by dibenzo polyether carboxylic acid resins was observed. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Dielectric and rheological measurements are reported on the effect of cure temperature on the water absorption of tris[(2,3-epoxypropoxy)phenyl] methane cured with a 1 : 1 stoichiometric ratio of 4,4′-diaminodiphenylsulphone. Analysis of the water absorption characteristics of these materials using a combination of dielectric and gravimetric measurements has indicated that water molecules can be found in two distinctly different types of environments. There are water molecules which are strongly interacting with polar groups and water molecules clustered together into sub-micro-scale cavities within the matrix structure. Changes in the final cure temperature have the effect of changing both the extent and distribution of the types of water molecules present in the matrix. Validation of the diffusion coefficients obtained from the dielectric analysis is based on a comparison with gravimetric data and the implications are discussed. Differences observed between these two different types of measurement are related to peculiarity in the dielectric method and its extreme sensitivity to interfacial phenomena.

    Notes: Dispersions of hydrolyzed-starch-polyacrylonitrile (HSPAN) gel and distilled water underwent permanent diminuntion of room-temperature viscosity after maintenance above a threshold temperature of 75°C for periods of several weeks. Below the threshold temperature, viscosity measured at room temperature was unaffected. Above the threshold temperature, the final room-temperature viscosity exponentially varied as the inverse absolute temperature, and the viscosity decreased with increasing temperature. The HSPAN gel-distilled water dispersions exhibited both yield stress and velocity slip at a solid boundary, but the latter was not present at low shearing stresses. The former inhibited natural convection in a vertical slot with an imposed horizontal temperature difference. Clarity of the dispersions was demonstrated by a character-visibility test. Deaerating the distilled water by boiling before mixing with HSPAN gel improved the clarity of the resulting dispersion by eliminating the formation of bubbles at elevated temperature. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Physical properties of surface modified synthetic elastomers were studied to understand the factors that reduce friction and provide advantages in practical use. Bromination, iodination, sulfonation, and chlorination were investigated. The coefficient of friction μ was measured using a modified version of the pin-on-disc apparatus. The surface energy, morphology, mechanical properties, and extent of chemical modification were also measured. An increased stiffness and microroughness were found to correlate with changes in the coefficient of friction. Sulfonation (100% H2SO4) was found to be the most effective and universally acceptable method of chemical treatment from a tribological point of view. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: A phenomenological model is presented to assess the effects of phase mixing on storage modulus vs. temperature data in polymer blends comprising a continuous glassy matrix and discrete rubbery inclusions. An extension of the Kerner-Dickie model, it is developed for systems of low-dispersed phase content with a moderate degree of intermixing, and compared with experimental data for six blends of polystyrene or lightly hydroxylated polystyrene with poly(ethyl acrylate) at 90/10 and 70/30 w/w compositions. Phase mixing is induced in this system through intercomponent hydrogen bonding. The model successfully represents data for the four blends of lowest interphase content, but fails for the other two. The model can evidently provide a good description of blends where the bulk of each component resides in a pure phase, but fails when the mixed interphase constitutes the majority of the material. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Dielectric, mechanical, thermal, rheological, and electron microscopy measurements are reported for five series of thermoplastic modified amine cured epoxy resin systems. The epoxy and thermoplastic components have been systematically changed to investigate the factors affecting the phase separation process. Data reported cover both changes in the physical properties occurring during cure and also of the final cured matrix. Dielectric data obtained from fully cured materials exhibits a Maxwell-Wagner-Sillers relaxation process characteristic of a phase separated morphology. Correlation of dielectric relaxation and electron microscopy data indicates that the phase structure changes with the thermoplastic content and composition of the epoxy phase. The mechanical properties change significantly at about 20-25% (w/w) of incorporated thermoplastic, coincident with the formation of a cocontinuous phase morphology. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Ion-exchange resins are prepared by introducing phosphonic acid monoethyl ester or phosphonic acid groups into formaldehyde condensation poly(dibenzo-18-crown-6) resin. The phosphonic acid ion-exchange groups provide accessibility for metal cations, while the ion-selective cyclic polyether binding site influences the selectivity. The selectivities and efficiencies for competitive alkali-metal cation sorption from aqueous solutions by these crown ether-containing phosphonic acid resins are strongly influenced by the pH of the aqueous solution, the identity of the phosphonic acid groups, and the molar ratio of ion-exchange groups to crown ether units. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: The steady-state (d.c.) electrical conductivity of polypropylene has been measured as a function of temperature (25-150°C.) and field strength (0-94 kv./cm.). The temperature coefficient of the conductivity is 34.6 kcal./mole expressed as an activation energy. This is much larger than the activation energy for diffusion of small molecules in the same polymer. Thus, ionization rather than diffusion appears to be the primary activation process. The conductivity is nonohmic; the conductance quotient is a linear function of field strength but is larger than predicted by Onsager's theory. The ion “jump distance” as evaluated from the isothermal field dependence, is the same order of magnitude as the diffusional mean free path estimated from diffusion studies in other polymers. The conductivity, conduction activation energy, and field dependence appear to be relatively insensitive to polymer crystallinity.
