    Notes: Abstract Small intensive care units (ICUs) functioning within their capacity and caring mainly for post-operative patients have fewer problems with infection control than larger ICUs with a varied case mix, sub-optimal staffing levels, and high levels of antibiotic consumption. Under these circumstances chronic cross colonisation and infection are inevitable and outbreaks may occur. Little can be done to reduce the risks of infection which arise as a direct result of the patient's clinical condition and prior colonisation status. However, selection pressure from antibiotic usage can be modified, as can environmental hygiene, ventilation and architectural design. One of the simplest measures for reducing cross infection remains one of the most intractable: compliance by staff with protocols and standards for maintaining hand hygiene. Simplification of procedures by the ready availability of alcohol hand rub preparations with or without chlorhexidine may improve matters.

    Notes: Abstract The absorption (α) and Faraday rotation (θ) spectra of 14 garnets belonging to the series Bi x Sm3-x Fe5-y Ga y O12 (0〈x〈1.05, 0.8〈y〈1.15) have been measured between 15 000 cm−1 and 19 000 cm−1. The figure of merit (θ/α) at 17 850 cm−1 (560 nm) increases linearly with increasing bismuth concentration up tox∼0.6 where it begins to increase less rapidly. For operation of magneto-optic display devices at 17 850 cm−1 there is no advantage in using garnets in this series withx〉0.8. The Faraday rotation at 17 850 cm−1 increases linearly with bismuth concentration whereas the absorption coefficient increases more rapidly. The presence of Bi3+ increases the intensity of all Fe3+ pair transitions in the garnet system as a result of the increased superexchange induced by Bi3+. This is in keeping with the observation that the intensity of the6A1g (S)→4T1g (G) transition in (RE)3Fe5O12 (RE=Er, Y, Dy, Gd, Eu) increases on traversing the above RE series as do the Curie temperatures of these iron garnets.

    Notes: Atom transfer radical polymerization has been used to prepare well-defined vinyl macromonomers of polystyrene using vinyl chloroacetate as an initiator. Because styrene and vinyl chloroacetate do not copolymerize, no branching or incorporation of the initiator into the backbone was observed. Macromonomers of several molecular weights were prepared and copolymerized free radically with N-vinylpyrrolidinone in varying feed ratios in order to produce poly(NVP-g-Sty) graft copolymers. The macromonomers used were of sufficiently high molecular weight to form physical crosslinks in solvents which favor the hydrophilic NVP, such as water, which prevent the copolymer from dissolving and cause it to swell. These materials, therefore, formed hydrogels of swellabilities in water exceeding 95%, depending on the amount of styrene that was incorporated into the copolymer. Limitations of and alternatives to this method are also discussed. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Polym Sci A: Polym Chem 36: 823-830, 1998

    Notes: A combined magnetic sector-time-of-flight instrument has been constructed and used with both continuous (liquid secondary ion mass spectrometry and electrospray ionization) and pulsed (matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization) ion sources. The design includes provision for both low- and high-energy gas collision induced decompositions and orthogonal acceleration of the product ions into the time-of-flight mass analyser. Tandem mass spectra may be acquired for singly and multiply charged precursor ions and reliable mass measurements are easily obtained. Product-ion mass spectra are quite reproducible regardless of any instability in the precursor ion beam intensity.

    Notes: The tetrakis (dialkyldithiocarbamato)tellurium(IV) complexes are highly effective thermal antioxidants and melt stabilizers for polypropylene and the evidence suggests that they are converted to the bis(dialkyldithiocarbamato)tellurium(II) complexes and the corresponding dithiocarbamoyl disulfides during processing. The Te(IV) complexes are also effective photoantioxidants and their activity increases with increasing processing time. The bischelates are in general less effective when used alone.

    Notes: Hindered amines and their derived oxidation products, the hindered nitroxyls and hydroxylamines are processing stabilizers and photoantioxidants for poly(vinyl chloride). The evidence suggests that oxidation of the amines occurs very rapidly and completely during mechanooxidation and that the resulting redox couple operates by a catalytic mechanism as described previously for hydrocarbon polymers.

    Notes: 1-Acryloyl-4-acryloyloxy-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine (AATP) has been covalently attached to polypropylene under conditions of reactive processing to give substantial concentrations of essentially 100% grafted antioxidant (AATP-B). Solution of the concentrates showed that at high concentration of grafted antioxidant some homopolymerized AATP was present and the polymer undergoes transient cross-linking during processing. Concentrates of bound AATP (AATB-B) when used as conventional additives for polypropylene are very effective photoantioxidants due to conversion to the related polymer-bound nitroxyl radicals by photosensitized oxidation. A typical commercial hindered phenol, Irganox 1076, when used at low concentration in combination with -B also acts as a photosensitizer for nitroxyl formation. Unlike low molar mass-hindered piperidinoxyl, polymer-bound nitroxyls are effective thermal antioxidants that synergize very effectively with low concentrations of Irganox 1076.

    Notes: It is demonstrated by the use of spin traps that during the early stages of thermal processing of PVC considerable concentrations (〉 3 × 10-6 mol g-1) of free radicals are produced which are primarily responsible for the initial products (hydroperoxides, unsaturation, and hydrogen chloride) previously shown to be formed in the polymer. From a semiquantitative analysis of these products, it is estimated that more than 50% of the radicals are formed from hydroperoxides and the rest by mechanoscission of the polymer chain. The spin traps are effective processing stabilizers in combination with a tin maleate HC1 scavenger. One of them (2-methyl-2-nitroso propane, MNP) has also been shown to be a photoantioxidant.

    Notes: The effect of the processing operation on the nature and quantity of transformation products of 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-4-hydroxypiperidinoxyl (〉NO.) and its corresponding hydroxylamine (〉NOH) was investigated in polypropylene. It was found that both 〉NO. and 〉NOH are actively involved in a regenerative cycle and that this redox couple is responsible for the stability of the polymer whether the initial additive is 〉NO. or 〉NOH. The alkyl hydroxylamine (〉NOR), on the other hand, does not appear to play a significant role in the melt stabilization of the polymer. Quantitative measurements of 〉NOH and 〉NO. concentrations show that, under conditions of both restricted oxygen (CM) and oxygen excess (OM), the concentrations of both species change reciprocally throughout the processing operation. In a closed mixer (CM), the total overall concentration of 〉NO. and 〉NOH remains at a high constant level, whereas in an open mixer (OM), their total concentration decreases continuously to a low level, indicating the irreversible destruction of the redox couple (〉NO. and 〉NOH). The photo-oxidative stability of the polymer was found to depend on the total concentration of the redox couple left in the system after processing in either CM or OM.

    Notes: The nature of transformation products of high-temperature reactions of thiophosphoryl disulphides with hydroperoxides in the absence and presence of oxidisable substrates and the role of the disulphide in the overall antioxidant mechanism was investigated using a range of techniques such as oxygen absorption, 31P nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), gas-liquid chromatography (GLC), and peroxide determination. The major transformation products of the above oxidation reactions were found to be the thio and thiono-phosphoric acids, in addition to mono and polysulphides. At high molar ratios of peroxide to disulphide (〉10), these oxidation products are the main catalysts for peroxide decomposition, while at lower ratios the disulphide itself was found to play a major role in the antioxidant mechanism.
