    Notes: Aqueous solutions of poly(vinyl alcohol) were submitted to varying doses of electron beam irradiation. By modification of the classical Flory-Huggins equations appropriate to the initial state of solution of the polymer, the molecular weight between crosslinks, Mc, was calculated as a function of radiation dose, initial polymer concentration, and temperature. Following crosslinking in the solution state, crystallization was induced by dehydrating the network at temperatures above 90°C. Following dehydration, the polymer network was reequilibrated with water and its tensile properties compared with identically prepared hydrogels not subjected to crystallization by dehydration. Greatly enhanced values of ultimate tensile strength and resistance to tear result from the treatment producing crystallization, compared with those of the crosslinked but not previously dehydrated gels.

    Notes: A flow visualization study was made with an optically birefringent solution of milling yellow dye in water flowing through a transparent duct of isoceles triangular cross section. The present data confirm a number of theoretical predictions concerning transitional phenomena in triangular ducts. One of the most interesting of these phenomena is the existence of a region of simultaneous laminar and turbulent flow in the duct. The present results, which agree with the theory, indicate an order of laminar and turbulent flow which is inverse to previous observations made with smoke filament tracings.

    Notes: An extensive numerical study was carried out to determine the effect of Lewis number on the stability of a chemical reaction occurring inside a porous catalyst pellet. It is found that when the Lewis number is different from 1, the coupling between the concentration and temperature causes several pathological effects during the transient periods. One of the most interesting phenomenon is the occurrence of a unique unstable steady state with a periodic appearance of a very hot spot.

    Notes: The effectiveness of the stationary form of the discrete Kalman filter for state estimation in noisy process systems was demonstrated by simulated and experimental tests on a pilot plant evaporator. The filter was incorporated into a multivariable, computer control system and resulted in good control despite process and/or measurement noise levels of 10%. The results were significantly better than those obtained when the Kalman filter was omitted or replaced by conventional exponential filters. In this application the standard Kalman filter was reasonably insensitive to incorrect estimates of initial conditions or noise statistics and to errors in model parameters. The filter estimates were sensitive to unmeasured process disturbances. However this sensitivity could be reduced by treating the noise covariance matrices R and Q as design parameters rather than noise statistics and selecting values which result in increased weighting of the process measurements relative to the calculated model states.

    Notes: Poly-4,4′-oxydiphenylenesulfonyl and poly-4,4′-methylenediphenylenesulfonyl were synthesized by an electrophilic substitution polymerization of the arylene monosulfonyl chloride monomers. The glass-transition temperatures Tg of these polymers were determined by calorimetric and dynamic mechanical measurements, and the number-average molecular weights were determined by vapor-pressure osmometry. Both polymers were found to have the same Tg at equivalent molecular weight; the limiting value at high molecular weight is 238°C. Both polymers have two dynamic mechanical relaxation peaks at temperatures far below Tg. One is in the neighborhood of 0°C, and the other is at -110°C. Plausible origins for these relaxations, and the absence of any near 0°C in poly(4,4′-isopropylidenediphenylene-co-4,4′-sulfonyldiphenylene dioxide), are discussed.

    Notes: Several species of topologically interlocked λb2b5c DNA rings (catenanes) have been prepared in vitro. The sedimentation behavior of dimeric catenanes containing 0, 1, or 2 covalently closed duplex rings has been studied as a function of the superhelical density of the covalently closed ring or rings. In general, if XtpY represents rings X and Y topologically interlocked, the sedimentation coefficient of this species, SXtpY, is related to the sedimentation coefficients SX and SY of the component rings by the empirical relationship SXtpY/SY = [(MX + MY)/MY] [1 + (MX/MY)1.78(SY/SX)1.78]-0.56This equation can also be extended to the case where three monomeric rings are topologically linked in a chain. For two topologically interlocked monomeric rings with neither ring covalently closed, the sedimentation coefficient is 1.35 times that of the monomeric ring. This is different from results reported for mitochondrial and P22 catenanes by others. Several possibilities are discussed to account for this discrepancy. The sedimentation coefficient of a species containing one covalently closed duplex ring and a single-stranded ring was also measured in an alkaline medium. This species, which can be easily derived from a dimeric catenane containing two covalently closed duplex rings, is particularly useful for the identification of covalently closed dimeric catenanes. Some electron microscopic studies of these interlocked rings are presented in an accompanying paper.

    Notes: The optical properties of reconstituted collagen were characterized in the frame-work of a two-phase model. The total birefringence is assumed to be the sum of form birefringence ΔF, of amorphous birefringence Δa, and of crystalline birefringence Δc. The contribution of ΔF has been determined as a function of strain. The intrinsic values of Δc and Δa were calculated to be 0.24 ± 0.06 and 0.055 ± 0.018, respectively. In the undeformed state, the observed birefringence is almost entirely due to the distortion of the electric field of the light at the phase boundary. Whereas there is a slight increase of form birefringence with increasing strain, the total birefringence shows much larger increments. The latter is attributable to orientation of the rodlike superstructures of the tropocollagen molecules.

    Notes: The frequency dependence of dynamic mechanical properties of rat tail tendon (RTT), enzyme-solubilized collagen membranes (ESC), AKM-23 dialysis membranes, and gelatin film have been measured at 110, 11, and 3.5 Hz from - 160 to 220°C. RTT and AKM-23 are devoid of a rubbery region; there are as many as six mechanical loss transitions. Gelatin and ESC membranes behave as rubbery materials above room temperature; only three tan δE peaks can be resolved for these materials. Strain birefringence was used to measure the crystalline and amorphous contribution of orientation induced by strain. Both the birefringence and the strain optical coefficient are sensitive to the amount of water in a sample. The effect of chemical swelling agents and of annealing on birefringence are described. Stress relaxation data on gelatin film were analyzed with the rubber elasticity theory to give the average number of chains per unit volume, the specific polarizability, the stress-birefringence ratio and the average molecular weight between hydrogen bonds were calculated. The intrinsic amorphous birefringence for “wet” gelatin film is 1.25 × 10-2; it is estimated to be about 6 × 10-2 for “dry” gelatin film.

    Notes: The effect of a variety of electrolytes on the stabilization and destabilization of the rod-like superstructures in reconstituted collagen membranes have been studied by small-angle light scattering (SALE). Structural orders at two levels are effected: association-disassociation at the micron level and the helix-coil transitions at the mollecular level. In addition to lyotropic salts, several transition metal ions were also studied. They act to disassociate collagen aggregates by the formation of stable complexes.

    Notes: PMR investigations on the diastereomeric phosphate methyl protons of the dinucleoside ethyl phosphotriesters Tp(C2H5)T, dA, and dIp(C2H5)dI have been used to study the conformational changes of these dimersin solution. In D2O (273°K), the diastereomeric phosphate-methly groups of Tp(C2H5)T appear as a triplet. The methyl resonances of dIp(C2H5)dI and dAp(C2H5)dA appear as two sets of triplets and their chemical shift differences (δ1 - δ2), decrease with increasing temperature, finally becoming zero at 292°K and 333°K, respectively. The same phenomenon is observed for dAp(C2H5)dA in CD3OD; in this detacking solvent, the difference (δ1 - δ2) diminishes to zero at a lower temperature (261°K). At room temperature in D2O, the chemical shift of the phosphate methyl of Tp(C2H5)T appears at lower field than those of dIp(C2H5)dI or dAp(C2H5)dA. The differences between the chemical shifts of these groups (δI - δT or δA - δT) increase with increasing temperature, and reach maximal values at 301°K and 333°K, respectively. The results suggest that at low temperature the largest fraction of the dimer population exists in a stacked state, with the phosphate-ethyl groups outside the stack. Increasing temperature causes an oscillation of the bases and a shift in the dimer population away from the stacked state. Finally at high temperature, the planar bases rorate with respect to one another and in the case of dIp(C2H5)dI and dAp(C2H5)dA, the ethyl groups experience shielding by the anisotropic ring current of the five-membered ring of the bases. Thus, the current pmr studies and those reported earlier from our laboratory support an “oscillation-rotation model” for the unstacking process of the dimers. The relationship of this model and the “two-state model” is discussed.
