    Notes: Abstract An 83-year-old female with no personal or familial neurological history developed progressive gait and speech disturbance and left motor deficit. She suffered intractable seizures and died 3 months after the onset of neurological signs. Neuropathology showed severe spongiosis and gliosis in the cortex and basal ganglia, and diffuse cerebral amyloid angiopathy. Immunostaining for prion protein (PrP) showed intense PrP positivity in areas of confluent spongiosis and some granular staining in astrocytes. The cortical vessel walls stained positively for β/A4 amyloid but not for PrP amyloid. Both types of amyloid were only observed in pericapillary parenchyma, in areas with severe spongiosis. There were only a few tangles and neuritic plaques in the temporal cortex; amyloid plaques were not present either by silver stains or immunostains. There was neither arteriopathic leukoencephalopathy nor cerebral hemorrhage. Immunoblot analysis of brain extracts revealed an abnormal proteinase K-resistant isoform of PrP. Association of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease and Cerebral amyloid angiopathy in the absence of Alzheimer changes is unusual. The association of PrP and β/A4 amyloid deposits could have been fortuitous in an 83-year-old patient. An etiopathogenic relationship between β/A4 amyloid deposition and PrP accumulation may also be considered.

    Notes: Electropolymerization of N,N-dimethylacrylamide has been performed in aqueous sulfuric acid solution, using unsized AS-4 graphite fibers as the working electrode. The electro-polymerized poly (N,N-dimethylacrylamide) deposited on the surface of the graphite fiber working electrode. The formation of poly (N,N'dimethyl acrylamide) was inhibited by hydroquinone. The addition of about 0.05 moles of hydroquinone to the reaction solution resulted in about a 90% decrease in the weight gain of fibers, in agreement with the proposed free radical mechanism of aqueous electropolymerization. The rate of electropolymerization varied with the initial monomer concentration, current density, and sulfuric acid concerntration, raised to the power of 1.3, 0.42, and 0.07, respectively, that is, Rp ∝ [M]1.3-Cd0.42 [H2SO4]0.07. A mathematical model, based upon free radical polymerization kinetics, is discussed. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Constant current electropolymerization of acrylamide was initiated on the surfaces of AS-4 graphite fibers. Electropolymerization was performed using an aqueous solution of acrylamide dissolved in dilute sulfuric acid solution. The progress of electropolymerization was followed by measuring the weight of polyacrylamide deposited onto the surfaces of a unit weight of graphite fiber per unit time. The rate of electropolymerization was obtained from the slope of the linear region of the polymer weight gain vs. electropolymerization time curve. The rate of electropolymerization onto AS-4 graphite fiber surfaces was found to depend on the initial monomer concentration, sulfuric acid concentration, and current density raised to the powers of 1.67, 0.02, 0.54, respectively. Molecular weight measurements on the electropolymerized polyacrylamide were done by solution viscometry. Number average molecular weights of 430,000, 220,000, and 193,000 were obtained for polyacrylamide, electropolymerized at 1 mA/g, 50 mA/g, and 100 mA/g respectively, consistent with classical radical polymerization kinetics.

    Notes: Electrocopolymerization of 3-carboxyphenyl maleimide and styrene onto Hercules AS-4 graphite fiber surfaces has been successfully carried out from an aqueous solution containing monomers and dilute sulfuric acid. Initiation of copolymerization of the monomers dissolved in a small amount of dimethylacetamide is achieved by constant-current electrolysis in the cathodic chamber of a three-compartment electrolysis cell. Polymerization is initiated at the fiber surfaces; little polymer is formed in the cell solution. Electrocopolymerization is very consistent and rapid. The amount of polymer increases predictably with increasing comonomer concentration and current density. Using a 0.4 M (1 : 1) comonomer concentration, 0.0125 M sulfuric acid solution, and a current density of 20 mA/g, more than 60 wt % of copolymer coating per unit weight of graphite fibers is obtained within thirty minutes. Thermal gravimetric analysis showed the copolymer to be very stable at elevated temperatures and has initial and final decomposition temperatures of 430 and 520°C, respectively. The glass transition temperature measurement of the copolymer coatings was carried out by differential scanning calorimetry. A single glass transition temperature was obtained of about 210°C for most samples. The glass transition temperature of the copolymers did not change significantly with changing comonomer feed composition. Functional group and compositional analysis of the copolymer was done by FTIR spectroscopy. The copolymer composition remained relatively the same for copolymers made from different styrene/3-carboxyphenyl maleimide feed composition, confirming a strong tendency toward alternation for the system.

    Notes: Electrochemical copolymerization of styrene and N-(3-carboxyphenyl)maleimide was performed in an aqueous sulfuric acid solution using AS-4 graphite fibers as the working electrode. Cyclic voltammetric analysis results suggest radical initiation of polymerization via the reduction of the N-(3-carboxyphenyl)maleimide and sulfuric acid. Radical chain electrocopolymerization was strongly suggested by the inhibition of chain growth in the presence of hydroquinone and 2,2-diphenylpicrylhydrazyl (DPPH). Compositional analysis of copolymers and reactivity ratios rs ∼ 0.014 and rm ∼ 0.041 for styrene and N-(3-carboxyphenyl)maleimide [N-(3-CMI)], respectively, confirmed a 1 : 1 alternating electrocopolymerization. Kinetic analysis shows a first- and 1/2-order dependence of the rate of chain growth on initial monomer concentration and initiator concentration, respectively. A model incorporating these data is presented. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
