    Notes: Abstract The paper discusses “regularisation” of dualities. A given duality between (concrete) categories, e.g. a variety of algebras and a category of representation spaces, is lifted to a duality between the respective categories of semilattice representations in the category of algebras and the category of spaces. In particular, this gives duality for the regularisation of an irregular variety that has a duality. If the type of the variety includes constants, then the regularisation depends critically on the location or absence of constants within the defining identities. The role of schizophrenic objects is discussed, and a number of applications are given. Among these applications are different forms of regularisation of Priestley, Stone and Pontryagin dualities.

    Notes: Abstract This paper presents an automated knowledge acquisition architecture for the truck docking problem. The architecture consists of a neural network block, a fuzzy rule generation block and a genetic optimisation block. The neural network block is used to quickly and adaptively learn from trials the driving knowledge. The fuzzy rule generation block then extracts the driving knowledge to form a knowledge rule base. The driving knowledge rule base is further optimised in the genetic optimisation block using a genetic algorithm. Computer simulations are presented to show the effectiveness of the architecture.

    Notes: The electroinitiated polymerizations of styrene, 2-vinylnaphthalene, and 9-vinylanthracene were compared in sulfolane and acetone solvents in the presence of ZnCl2. The relative orders of polymerization rates and polymerization efficiencies, in both solvents, were 9-vinylanthracene 〉 2-vinylnaphthalene 〉 styrene, with faster rates and higher efficiencies occurring in sulfolane. Data obtained from viscosity and gel permeation chromatography (GPC) studies indicate that the molecular weights of the polymers produced in these systems are extremely low, 〈5000. Chemical composition and infrared (IR) spectral data suggest that abnormal transfer reactions (possibly from solvent) may be occurring in the electroinitiated 9-vinylanthracene polymerizations. The polymerization mechanism appears to be cationic in these monomer-solvent systems with ZnCl2.

    Laser-initiated polymerization of charge-transfer monomer systems (1982)

    Notes: The laser-initiated polymerization of charge-transfer monomer complexes was investigated with a pulsed nitrogen laser and an argon laser. Several donor-acceptor monomer charge-transfer systems were screened for polymerization in different solvents. Polymerization by laser initiation was achieved in two of these systems; that is, 2-vinylnaphthalene/fumaronitrile and 9-vinylanthracene/fumaronitrile. The best polymer yields were obtained with the 2-vinylnaphthalene/fumaronitrile system in sulfolane solvent. The influences on the polymer yield and composition of solvents, varying focal path length, glass conditioning, initiation sources, environment, and monomer feed ratios were evaluated. Infrared (IR) spectral studies, gel permeation chromatography (GPC), and chemical analyses were performed to characterize the polymer products arising from the polymerization of 2-vinylnaphthalene/fumaronitrile in sulfolane. The polymer contained a high percentage of sulfolane (ca. 1/3 mol fraction), presumably arising from solvent transfer to the growing polymer chains during the propagation phase of the polymerization.

    Photoinitiation and electroinitiation in the polymerization of 2-vinylnaphthalene (1977)

    Notes: The zinc chloride-catalyzed polymerization of 2-vinylnaphthalene (VN) with both photoinitiation and electronitiation methods was examined. Good yields were obtained with both methods, the electroinitiated process being somewhat faster. The mechanism for polymerization initiation was investigated through a detailed comparison of the kinetics. Both initiation methods show a similar response to increasing input energy and to change in salt to monomer mole ratio. Both methods indicate formation of a ZnCl2-(2-VN)2 complex as intermediate with the formation of the species being rate-determining. These results, together with other similar investigations, are then used to deduce a mechanism that involves the formation of an electronically excited donor-acceptor complex. It is argued that in certain salt-stabilized, electron-delocalized, aromatic systems, such excitation is possible in electroinitiation.

    Laser-initiated polymerization of epoxies in the presence of maleic anhydride (1985)

    Notes: Laser-initiated polymerization of cyclohexene oxide in the presence of maleic anhydride was investigated. The influences of solvents laser irradiation time and the monomer feed ratio on the polymer yield and composition were evaluated. The rate of polymerization increased with an increase in the molar concentration of maleic anhydride in the monomer feed. Short irradiation times of 1-3 min duration gave very high yield of epoxy polymer (〉80% conversion). Infrared spectral studies of the polymer product indicated the formation of polyether linkage at lower levels of conversion and an adduct of polyether and maleic anhydride at higher polymer conversions. The quantitative chemical analyses results also showed similar results. The results indicated that the polymerization was initiated by the excited charge transfer complex between the electron donor, cyclohexane oxide, and the electron acceptor-maleic anhydride. In the initial stages of polymerization, cyclohexene oxide undergoes a cationic polymerization in the presence of the radical anion of maleic anhydride. Laser-initiated polymerization of cyclohexene oxide/maleic anhydride is several hundred times more efficient than UV-initiated polymerization, as measured by the energy absorbed by the polymer system.

    Copolymerization of styrene and diethyl fumarate with zinc bromide. V. Electroinitiated copolymerization at high current strengths (1973)

    Notes: The electroinitiated copolymerization of styrene and diethyl fumarate in methanol solvent with zinc bromide as electrolyte has been investigated at high current strengths (200-500 mA). Unlike the copolymerization behavior observed at lower current strengths (〈 200 mA), it is found that the cathodically produced copolymers deviate from a 1:1 composition and show a significant deficiency in styrene. The copolymer products can be separated into two well-defined fractions: a toluene-soluble fraction (normal copolymer) and a toluene-insoluble one (styrene-deficient copolymer). These deviations in copolymer composition from a 1:1 monomer ratio are attributed to the occurrence of cathodically induced electroreductive hydrolysis side reactions with diethyl fumarate leading to the formation of carboxylate or acid salt species. Reaction of these hydrolyzed species with diethyl fumarate results in the formation of fumarate-rich copolymers.

    Notes: Laser-initiated polymerization of charge transfer monomer complexes has been investigated using an argon ion laser. The influence of solvents, monomer feed ratio, and irradiation time on the copolymer yield and composition was evaluated. The polymer yield was found to be directly proportional to the irradiation time and the molar concentration of maleic anhydride in the monomer feed. An enhanced rate of polymerization was obtained by substituting electron donating groups in the donor monomer. Polymerization, initiation, and propagation mechanisms, via charge transfer complexes, have been discussed. Comparison of laser-induced polymerization with UV-induced polymerization suggests that laser initiation is an energy-efficient process.

    Notes: As part of a program to extend the range of donor-acceptor-initiated polymerization processes, the electroinitiation of 2-vinylnaphthalene in a zinc chloride-sulfolane solution has been studied. Good conversion yields of well-characterized (NMR, IR, GPC, elemental analysis) poly(vinylnaphthalene) were obtained with the process showing several mechanistic similarities to other donor-acceptor salt electropolymerization systems.

    Electrochemically initiated polymerization of styrene with tetraalkyl and -aryl group VA halide support electrolytes (1977)

    Notes: The electrochemically initiated polymerization of styrene in methylene chloride solvent with the use of platinum electrodes and tetraalkyl and -aryl group VA halides (i.e., quaternary ammonium, phosphonium, and arsonium compounds) as electrolyte has been investigated. The order of reactivity of the electrolytes with respect to polymerization rate and initiation efficiency was found to be: arsonium 〉 phosphonium 〉 ammonium. Mechanisms involving the electroreduction of the group VA quaternary halides to species capable of electroinitiating polymerization are postulated. The observed losses in solution conductivities during polymerization with the quaternary phosphonium and arsonium electrolytes indicate possible interaction between the initiating radical-ionic species and the supporting electrolyte. In an attempt to further elucidate the mechanism of initiation in these systems, a separate series of experiments, employing the nonpolymerizing monomer, 1,1-diphenylethylene, has been carried out.
