    Notes: The optimal temperature policy which will maximize the final catalyst activity that gives a fixed conversion of reactants in a specified time for batch operation was determined by the formulation of a calculus of variations problem following the technique of Szepé and Levenspiel (1968). The method was applied to the general case of first-order reversible reactions which occur in the presence of catalysts deactivating by an irreversible first-order mechanism. To reduce trial and error estimations and circumvent numerical instabilities, the two-point boundary value variational problem was reformulated in terms of an initial value problem with a parameter which includes the initial value of temperature. This initial value problem was solved by a regression technique.These techniques were applied to the industrially important enzymatic reaction of the isomerization of D-glucose to D-fructose catalyzed by glucose isomerase in solution. Kinetic and deactivation data are available for this endothermic reaction which obeys first-order reversible kinetics and for the isomerase denaturation which appears to be first order. The optimal temperature operational policy as stated above maximized final enzyme activity such that 10% less denaturation of glucose isomerase occurred when compared to final isomerase activity yielding the same conversion for the same reaction time when the reactor is operated at the optimal isothermal temperature.

    Notes: The basic equations that describe the thermal diffusion column, including the forgotten effect, were solved numerically. When the density of the liquid in the column varies with concentration, the effect is important in transient batch operation of columns, increasingly so as the wall spacing decreases, but it has no influence at the steady state. Experimental work corroborated the theoretical results.According to the theory, the instances of concentration reversal reported in the literature cannot be the result of the forgotten effect; the fluids involved could not have had the necessary properties. Attempted duplications of these instances in careful experiments yielded normal behavior. However, theoretical and experimental work on a column with a deliberately nonconstant wall spacing indicated that concentration reversals could occur in the complete absence of any forgotten effect contribution.

    Notes: A new series of crystalline (AB)n type multiblock copolymers based on crystalline poly(hexamethylene sebacate) (HMS) and amorphous poly(dimethylsiloxane) (DMS) has been prepared, and their solid state properties have been examined. The copolymers range from 0-69 wt percent DMS, and they crystallize in spherulitic textures when cast in films from solution or the melt. As the DMS concentration in the copolymers increases, the spherulite sizes decrease, but only a very small melting point depression is observed. Available evidence suggests extensive microphase separation in the bulk of the solid state. Surface characterization of the copolymers indicates that phase separation is also prevalent at the polymer-air interface. The block copolymers and polyblends have critical surface tensions of wetting very similar to DMS homopolymer.

    Notes: 1,2,2,-Trifluorovinyl phenyl ether and 2,3,4,5,6,-pentafluorophenyl 1,2,2-trifluorovinyl ethers have been prepared, and the nucleophilic reactions of the phenoxide and 2,3,4,5-pentafluorophenoxide salts with tetrafluoroethylene have been investigated. In general, it is some-what difficult to control the reaction so as to produce the desired olefinic monomer. Under truly anhydrous conditions and when other sources of active protons are avoided, the olefin is the chief product if excess tetrafluoroethylene is used. The monomer produced is very reactive with phenoxide ions, and the diphenoxyolefins are the chief secondary products. Both monomers failed to polymerize under normal, free radical conditions. With boron trifluoride an oily material was obtained from the trifluorovinyl phenyl ether. High pressure and gamma rays converted both monomers into polymers.

    Notes: Dynamic fiber wettability measurements are performed on T-300 carbon and Teflon fibers immersed in hexa methyl disiloxane (HMDS) silicone oil and a difunctional liquid epoxy resin, neopentyl diglycidyl ether (NPDGE). Specifically, four types of these carbon fibers, which are used to reinforce high performance composites, are studied. Decreases in the wetting force are observed for progressive immersions of all carbon fibers in the silicone oil but not observed with Teflon fibers, indicating adsorption may be occurring on the carbon surface. Perimeters determined from these wetting measurements on carbon fibers are larger than those calculated, assuming the fibers to be smooth cylinders. Scanning electron micrographs suggest this difference is attributable to surface crenulations. All carbon fibers immersed in the epoxy resin show non-zero contact angles.
