    Notes: The synthesis of high glass transition temperature (Tg 〉 300°C), amorphous, soluble, poly-imide oligomers of controlled molecular weight endcapped with 4-phenylethynylphthalic anhydride endcapping agent is described. The 4-phenylethynylphthalic anhydride was employed to afford a higher curing temperature (380-420°C) which widens the processing window compared to unsubstituted acetylene-endcapped polyimides. The polyimides were synthesized via solution imidization techniques, using the ester-acid of various dianhydrides and aromatic diamines. A “ one-pot” procedure utilizing NMP as the solvent and o-dichlo-robenzene as the azeotroping agent reproducibly produced fully imidized, but yet soluble wholly aromatic polyimides. Thermally cured samples were prepared with gel contents of up to 98% that displayed good solvent resistance. Glass transition temperatures comparable to high molecular weight linear analogs were produced. These polyimides also show excellent thermal stability as judged by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). Model phenylethynyl imide compounds were synthesized and used to follow and elucidate the nature of the products formed from the phenylethynyl curing by using high temperature magic-angle 13C nuclear magnetic resonance (MAS NMR). Preliminary results indicate that the cure reaction can be followed by MAS NMR. However, the nature of the products being formed during the curing process is difficult to determine by the solid-state MAS NMR alone. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) data clearly show that the model system does indeed melt and displays a wide window before the strong cure exotherm is observed. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: A variety of blends of ABA poly(styrene-b-isoprene) copolymers with poly(2,6-dimethylphenylene oxide) were prepared. Their compatibility was examined by measuring both the apparent modulus of rigidity and the loss tangent. Several blends showed a unique glass transition temperature between those of the individual components, which indicated compatibility. It was found that only those copolymers which phase separate are compatible with poly(2,6-dimethylphenylene oxide).

    Notes: Because of their incompatibility and the different refractive indices of the homopolymer components, polyurethane/polystyrene interpenetrating polymer networks are turbid by nature. Different parameters likely to enhance their transparency are examined: the crosslink density of each network and the level of internetwork grafting. The results prove that the latter factor is the most effective, as in some cases, very clear and transparent samples are obtained. Correspondingly, preliminary investigations of the dynamic mechanical properties show an inward shift of the glass transition temperatures for such systems. It is concluded that parameters able to cause a higher degree of phase dispersion can yield transparent materials.

    Notes: Classically, the one-step synthesis of interpenetrating polymer networks (IPNs) and related materials requires noninterfering polymerization modes to achieve distinct networks, held together by only physical entanglements. For the combination of (meth) acrylic and allylic monomers, both polymerizable by free radicals, a new in situ sequential synthesis for obtaining semi-IPNs is proposed. Using specific initiators that decompose at two different temperatures, refractive index measurements, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and dynamic mechanical analysis have shown that neat species are formed and that the two monomers do not copolymerize. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: ABA poly(styrene-b-isoprene) block copolymers with various molecular weights and composition were used as heat activated films in simple overlap glass joints. The influence of bonding temperature on their shear strength at break was investigated. On increase of temperature, the joint resistance for most of the copolymers passed through a maximum, which temperature was dependent on the molecular characteristics of the copolymers. The decrease in melt viscosity or chemical degradation could not explain the data. A morphological interpretation which fits well the present and previous observations is proposed and verified for one copolymer used in this work.

    Notes: The first appearance and early development of two circumventricular organs, the area postrema (AP) and the subfornical organ (SFO), were investigated in human embryos and fetuses from the 4th to the 40th gestational weeks (GW). The AP appears very early in development, during the GW 10; its high vascularization can be seen from GW14, and differentiated neurons are observed from GW 16. The SFO is characterized by a late onset of development. It can first be distinguished at GW 17, but it does not attain cytological differentiation until the last weeks of gestation. It is suggested that the AP has important functions during fetal life, which are related to normal fetal weight and growth; in contrast the SFO, which is connected with drinking behavior and salt/water balance, seems to play a less essential role in early fetal life.

    Notes: The volumes of the major tissue compartments, vascular space, interstitial space, and luteal cells, in the corpus luteum (CL) of 16-day pregnant rats were determined morphometrically after different fixation procedures. Ovaries were fixed by perfusion at physiologic pressures (PF), by immersion directly in fixative (IF), by immersion after clamping blood vessels to prevent escape of blood (IFC), or by immersion after administration of heparin to prevent blood clotting (IFH). Three CL in each of eight ovaries were examined for each fixation method. Total volumes were significantly larger in CL fixed by PF and IFC, and approximated physiologic volumes as assessed from frozen ovaries. Perfusion-fixed CL had significantly larger vascular and interstitial spaces and smaller cell volumes than immersion-fixed CL. Capillary surface area varied significantly between the four groups in accordance with absolute volume of vascular space. Estimated numbers of endothelial cells and amounts of connective tissue differed significantly, presumably due to difficulties in identifying these components in immersion-fixed CL with collapsed vessels. The fixation methods used caused substantial fluid shifts between the three major compartments. A theoretical approach for considering these shifts and the likely physiologic situation was developed.

    Notes: The synthesis and secretion of progesterone by the corpus luteum (CL) may be limited or controlled by transport mechanisms operating between circulating blood and luteal cell cytoplasm. To examine this possibility, the structural features involved in transport, including membrane surface areas and diffusion distances, were quantitated in the CL of 16-day pregnant rats. One ovary from each of eight rats was fixed by perfusion via a cannula inserted into the parametrial artery, and two CL from each ovary were processed for electron microscopy and examined with standard morphometric techniques. For comparison, one CL from each of a further eight ovaries was diced into small cubes, fixed by immersion, and analyzed similarly. In perfusion-fixed CL, there was a substantial volume of vascular space (20% of the total) and interstitial space (5%) and an extensive surface area of capillaries (441 mm2 per CL). The luteal-cell membrane had numerous projections which increased its surface area by a factor of 3.08. Almost 60% of the luteal-cell surface directly faced a capillary, and a further 37% faced interstitial space which probably extended to a capillary surface. Only 3% was in direct contact with a neighboring luteal cell. Despite the extensive interstitial space the harmonic mean thickness, an estimate of likely effective diffusion distance between luteal cell cytoplasm and blood, was only 0.42 μm. This was less than half of the calculated arithmetic mean thickness owing to the presence of surface projections and an uneven capillary endothelium. Results from immersion-fixed CL were qualitatively similar; but the proportion of interstitial space was only 59% of that in perfusion-fixed CL, and the contribution of surface projections to the total area of luteal-cell membranes was significantly reduced. Collectively, these results suggest that membranes and spaces between blood and luteal-cell cytoplasm are structured so as to minimize transport distances.

    Notes: The structural evolution with temperature of an anionically synthesized ABA poly(styrene-b-isoprene) (SIS) lamellar block copolymer (total molecular weight 45,000; isoprene content 38% by weight) was studied by melt-rheological measurements, electron microscopy, and x-ray and light diffraction. Above 225°C, the dynamic viscosity was found to be independent of frequency up to a critical frequency. The variation of the elastic modulus confirmed the occurence of a transition between 215 and 225°C. For the temperature range considered, all results superimposed well on a two-branch master curve. It was concluded that above 225°C, our SIS behaves like a Newtonian material, whereas for lower temperatures and/or higher frequencies classical non-Newtonian behavior is found. The melt-rheological properties were explained by microscopy and diffraction investigations, which allowed us to follow morphological changes as the temperature was raised. It was found that the two-phase lamellar structure is progressively destroyed, and the transition temperature of 225°C corresponds to the temperature above which complete mixing occurs.

    Notes: The glass transition behavior of two sets of ABA poly(styrene-b-isoprene) block copolymers was examined by differential scanning calorimetry. In one series, the triblock copolymers had different total molecular weights and the same (30 wt %) polyisoprene content, in the other, the molecular weight was constant (30,000 g/mol) and the elastomer content was the variable. For all triblock copolymers studied, the data show an inward shift for the glass transition temperatures Tg of the corresponding homopolymers. This shift increases for the rigid-phase Tg as the polystyrene block length decreases. Depending on their molecular characteristics, two, three, or only one Tg were found. The third Tg was interpreted in terms of the existence of an interphase. Some of these conclusions could be confirmed by transmission electron microscopy.
